Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 92 – Position and cultivation

"Why?" Ghost Guest asked.

Amanda Han explained, "You got the order wrong. It's not that I can become a guardian after breaking through to the eighth level of Qi Refinement, but that I must become a guardian to break through to the eighth level."

Ghost Guest thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Senior Sister means that to maintain order, you must first obtain the position before you can break through?"

"Exactly." Amanda Han nodded slightly, "As long as a cultivator has normal aptitude, they can eventually reach the tenth level of Qi Refinement and attempt Foundation Establishment by using Spirit Stones. It's just a matter of time. But if that's the case, how would resources be distributed among so many at the tenth level? For example, the Foundation Establishment Pill needed for Foundation Establishment—Medicine Gate can only gather enough materials for one set a year. How could so many at the tenth level share it? Both the Law Enforcement Hall and Medicine Gate have the same restrictions on cultivation levels. In Medicine Gate, only the Gate Master can break through to the tenth level of Qi Refinement. The Deputy Gate Master must remain at the ninth level, and if they dare to break through without permission, the Gate Master will kill them. Only after the Gate Master establishes their foundation can the Deputy Gate Master break through. It's always been this way. The capable rise to the position that matches their cultivation."

"I see," Ghost Guest realized.

"Now, with those two as Deputy Gate Masters, do you think they would let me become a guardian?" Amanda Han laughed at herself.

"Even if the Gate Master agrees, it won't work?" Ghost Guest asked.

Amanda Han shook her head, "Medicine Gate is different from the Law Enforcement Hall. The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall can decide with a single word, but for the Gate Master of Medicine Gate to promote someone to guardian, at least one Deputy Gate Master or half of the guardians must agree. I have no chance; I can only rely on you."

"Not necessarily. There's always a way," Ghost Guest said, stroking his chin in thought.

Amanda Han suddenly said, "Actually, there's another way to become a guardian."

"What way?"

"If a pavilion's business is the best every month and maintains that for a year, it can automatically become a guardian." Amanda Han shook her head as if denying it right after she said it, "But I've never heard of anyone succeeding. After all, when a new guardian rises, an old one must be eliminated. As long as those guardians communicate a bit, it's too easy to ruin the business."

"Just like what we're experiencing now, right?" Ghost Guest asked.

Amanda Han nodded, seeing Ghost Guest's smiling face, and exclaimed in surprise, "Do you have a plan?"

"That's a secret," Ghost Guest replied with a mysterious smile.

At that moment, a cultivator from Dangui Pavilion suddenly knocked on the door.

"Sir, someone is looking for you. It's Tang Feng from the Law Enforcement Hall."

Ghost Guest put away the account book, slowly went downstairs, exchanged a glance with Tang Feng outside, and followed him without a word.

Tang Feng's visit indicated that the internal struggle within the Law Enforcement Hall had ended. Undoubtedly, Lin Han had become the new Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall.

...

Inside the Law Enforcement Hall, even though it had been thoroughly cleaned, a faint smell of blood lingered. After more than two months of fighting, the number of people in the Law Enforcement Hall hadn't decreased but had gained many new faces, ones Ghost Guest had seen at Medicine Gate.

This was the result of Lin Han and Xiao Shenghe's cooperation. Sooner or later, the Law Enforcement Hall and Medicine Gate would put aside their grudges and merge into one. And this was what the senior brother wanted him to do.

In a side hall, Tang Feng opened the door and pointed to three people kneeling inside, "The Hall Master is in seclusion. These three should have died with Wang Li, but the Hall Master specifically instructed that they be handed over to you."

The three kneeling people had their hands and feet bound with chains, their Qi Seas completely sealed, and their faces ashen.

These three were old acquaintances entangled in grudges with Ghost Guest.

Xie Ding'an, Brian Qin, and Robert Zhou.

Ghost Guest thought for a moment and calmly said, "Release them."

"All of them?" Tang Feng asked.

Ghost Guest nodded slightly.

"The Hall Master said if you release them all, these three will be under your command and follow your orders." Tang Feng walked to the three, gently broke the chains, and lifted the seal on their Qi Seas.

Robert Zhou quickly clasped his fists, abandoning his usual playful demeanor, and looked sincere. "Robert Zhou greets you, sir. I will go through fire and water to repay your life-saving grace today!"

In the past, he could casually call Ghost Guest "junior brother." Now that Wang Li had failed to seize the position of Hall Master, and he, as Wang Li's subordinate, could lose his head at any moment, he naturally didn't dare to be as casual as before.

Even in terms of strength alone, Ghost Guest, who had reached the fifth level of Qi Refinement, was not much weaker than him. Moreover, Ghost Guest was a Steward and someone Lin Han valued, so he had to be respectful.

Brian Qin followed suit, clasping his fists in gratitude, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life. I will repay you with my life!"

Now, only Xie Ding'an, who was standing in a daze, hadn't spoken.

Xie Ding'an's eyes were filled with disbelief. When he saw Ghost Guest, he was prepared to die, but he never expected Ghost Guest wouldn't kill him!

In fact, Ghost Guest had indeed harbored thoughts of killing Xie Ding'an.

But his senior brother once said something that he remembered vividly to this day.

A truly strong person can converse and laugh with their enemies.

Even turn enemies into friends.

If these three were used well, they could be a sharp blade. Let's see how he would wield it.

Xie Ding'an hesitated for a long time before heavily kowtowing, "Xie Ding'an, thank you, sir!"

Ghost Guest helped the three up, smiling, "There's no need for such formality, my senior brothers. I will need your support in many areas in the future."

"We dare not." The three lowered their heads in unison, "From now on, we will follow your orders!"

Tang Feng took out a jade slip and handed it to Ghost Guest, "The Hall Master said that since you want to focus on cultivation, I will handle those tedious affairs for you, but you still need to approve them. These are this month's affairs, and I've already made notes. Take a look. If everything is in order, I'll proceed."

He said this in front of Xie Ding'an and the others, undoubtedly to intimidate them. Hearing how much Lin Han valued Ghost Guest, Xie Ding'an and the others were indeed awed.

"The Deputy Hall Master has handled everything well; I have no objections," Ghost Guest smiled slightly, casting a grateful glance at Tang Feng.

"The appointment hasn't been made yet, so it's too early to call me that," Tang Feng said, maintaining a calm demeanor, but the joy in his eyebrows was evident, clearly pleased with Ghost Guest's words.

Ghost Guest clasped his fists in salute, "There is one thing I would like to ask the Deputy Hall Master for help with."

Tang Feng smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Of course."
