Chapter 1010: Look Beyond the Immediate
Cao Lin’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He glanced at Jing Yan and thought, could it be that Jing Yan is dissatisfied with the rewards and wants to set some conditions?
"Brother Jing Yan, if you have any requests, just say it. As long as I can do it, I definitely won’t refuse." Although his heart was somewhat perturbed, he didn’t show a trace of displeasure on the surface.
Jing Yan is a precious treasure, after all. It’s normal for him to choose your weak Qingmu Department and set some conditions, isn’t it?
"I would like to trouble Director Cao Lin to help me apply for the Third Palace promotion assessment," Jing Yan said with a smile.
As for the reward Cao Lin mentioned, Jing Yan had no dissatisfaction. He didn’t intend to stay in the Second Palace for too long either.
The reason is simple. For martial artists, the Second Palace is superior in cultivation compared to the First Palace. The Third Palace is much more superior than the Second. Only someone out of their mind would linger in the Second Palace when they can promote to the Third.
Cao Lin was slightly stunned.
He indeed did not expect that what Jing Yan wanted his help with was this. If it was to assist with applying for the Third Palace promotion assessment, that was exactly what Cao Lin was eager to see. The sooner Jing Yan is promoted, the greater the benefits for him and the Second Palace Qingmu Department.
But...
"Brother Jing Yan, your martial arts cultivation is indeed very high. However, the difficulty of the Third Palace promotion assessment is somewhat considerable. The basic requirement for the Third Palace promotion assessment is being a Five-star Void God. However, from past examples, most Five-star Void Gods who participate in the assessment tend to fail."
"I think Brother Jing Yan doesn’t need to rush; first, stabilize yourself and wait until you have enough assurance to achieve promotion in one go. After all, Brother Jing Yan is young. Even if you cultivate for a hundred or eighty years in the Second Palace, you are still far from five hundred years old." Cao Lin’s tone was very gentle, afraid that Jing Yan would be displeased because of this.
