Chapter 791: Inviting a Fellow Sectarian
Gao Yanjun tapped on the border token and sent over a list, "This is a list of ingredients and nutrients used by the fighter I previously followed. Minister, you can refer to this."
Chen Chuan asked, "Is there any issue with it?"
From his understanding, every fighter seemed to have their unique requirements for ingredients, which might be closely related to their cultivation. Conversely, others could possibly deduce their cultivation path and assess their potential stage based on these requirements.
Gao Yanjun replied, "No, these are standard ingredients and nutrients that every fighter needs. There might be slight variations in the details, but those are not included here. As for the unique ingredients that may be related to their personal cultivation secrets, they are not listed."
She continued, "When a fighter reaches a critical point in their cultivation, each time they require a specific combination of ingredients, there is a certain art to it that outsiders cannot comprehend."
Chen Chuan nodded. Since these were general requirements, there was no issue. He opened the list and carefully reviewed each item recorded.
At the bottom, there was also a message from the fighter, listing some special ingredients, high-energy nutrients she needed, and her telegraph contact information. It stated that if anyone had information about these ingredients or came across them, she was willing to purchase or exchange them.
After reading it, Chen Chuan asked, "Gao Jie, how does the Pure School headquarters handle these ingredients and nutrients? Do you know?"
Gao Yanjun replied, "As far as I know, there are indeed channels within the sect to obtain them, but there may be restrictions and conditions. The fighter I followed rarely acquired them from the sect and mostly obtained them through exchanges with others."
Chen Chuan nodded. He saw that the sect would send someone to handle the telegraph, and this matter could be inquired about later. However, what he was most concerned about was the cultivation aspect.
After some thought, Chen Chuan said, "Gao Jie, draft a telegraph for me. Inform the headquarters of my decision, and also ask about the issue of acquiring cultivation knowledge within the sect."
"Okay, Minister," Gao Yanjun agreed. She went to the side and started typing on a typewriter.
Chen Chuan picked up his teacup and asked, "Old Chang, how's the progress of the branch?"
Chang Dong replied, "It's going very smoothly. According to the current progress, it will take another three to four months to complete the main building. During this time, I will recruit some peripheral members."
"Is the funding sufficient?" Chen Chuan asked.
"The funding allocated by the headquarters is currently sufficient. The upper management attaches great importance to the re-establishment of our branch. If it's not enough, we can reapply," Chang Dong smiled and said. "Now that you've become a fighter and decided to stay here, the headquarters will definitely pay more attention and increase their investment."
Chen Chuan said, "Before coming here today, a fighter from the Refinement Sect sought me out. I had a bout with him outside the city once before."
"A fighter from the Refinement Sect?" Chang Dong was surprised. He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Minister, you..." Even Gao Yanjun, who was typing on the side, couldn't help but look over.
Chen Chuan reassured them, "Don't worry, I didn't suffer any losses in that battle." He tapped on the border token and said, "I've already dictated the general process. Old Chang, please help me record it in the archives for future reference."
"Okay!"
Chang Dong solemnly agreed, but he was amazed at how casually Chen Chuan described the battle, not showing any signs of having just fought a fighter. He deeply admired Chen Chuan.
Gao Yanjun quickly finished drafting the telegraph and showed it to Chen Chuan for his approval. After confirming there were no issues, she sent it out.
The headquarters responded promptly, acknowledging Chen Chuan's suggestions and addressing the cultivation aspect. They would assign his guide to come and provide guidance. If he was dissatisfied with the guide, he could request a replacement, but that would require some waiting time.
Chen Chuan thought for a moment. His guide was Mr. Qian. He had only been back for two days, so he was probably still in the fusion land. It seemed he would have to wait for his return.
As for changing guides, he didn't have that intention. Not only was he still in the stage of continuous self-transformation, but he also knew that the relationship between a guide and the guided was naturally close, and the trust between them was not comparable to that of others.
Moreover, as someone from Wu Yi Academy, if there was anything he didn't understand, he could always seek guidance from Principal Yao or Teacher Xue.
After settling the matters at hand, Chen Chuan invited the two of them out for a meal before leaving Radiant District and returning to the bureau.
Upon arriving at his office, Chen Chuan used the border token to contact Xu Chan, "Old Xu, are you at the bureau? Do you have time? I want to discuss something with you. I'm in my office."
After a while, a staff member opened the door from the outside, and Xu Chan entered. Chen Chuan gestured to the sofa, "Old Xu, please have a seat."
Xu Chan sat down, and after the staff member served tea to both of them, they left, closing the door behind them.
Chen Chuan got straight to the point, "Old Xu, you probably guessed it. I didn't call you here for anything else but to discuss your job transfer. The bureau intends to appoint you as the investigation supervisor."
Xu Chan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Manager Chen, you know, I'm not one to take sides. I just want to do my job well."
Chen Chuan said, "I understand that, but Old Xu, you can't avoid this. Your abilities are right there for everyone to see. Think about it, is there anyone more suitable in the bureau other than you? But for this matter, I might be able to offer you another choice."
He looked at Xu Chan and asked, "You must know about the Pure School, right?"
Xu Chan glanced at him and nodded slightly. As a veteran execution team leader, he was certainly aware of this. At that moment, he had a vague guess about what Chen Chuan wanted to say to him.
Chen Chuan continued, "My current position is as a member of the Pure School, and I'm also the Minister of the Pure School's Jibei Dao Branch. Old Xu, I won't say more than necessary. I'd like to introduce you to the Pure School in my capacity as a Guide."
"The Pure School doesn't have much complexity. The main task is to maintain and ensure self-preservation, countering people or things from the outside or those contaminated by external influences. This is basically in line with what we do daily. As for the specifics..."
As he spoke, he tapped on the Border Token and sent over some requirements and guidelines of the Pure School.
While Xu Chan was reading, Chen Chuan said, "Old Xu, the Great Collision is drawing closer. The Municipal Parliament won't sit idly by and accept their fate. Various parties won't just watch as the government regains power. The situation that the Handling Bureau will face might become increasingly severe. The bureau urgently needs capable and influential people in leadership positions, and those below need someone worthy of respect to lead them."
"You know, I won't be able to stay in this position for long. I don't know when an appointment will come, but when it does, I'll have to leave, and there will be a vacancy in the bureau. So this time, even if you don't make a choice, you'll have to do it."
After reading through all the detailed rules that Chen Chuan had sent, Xu Chan spoke in a deep voice, "Manager, what you said is very true. When the time comes, some choices have to be made. But fortunately, just as you said, the requirements listed in the guidelines aren't much different from what I've done before."
He took a moment and then said solemnly, "I accept your invitation, Manager Chen, and will join the Pure School."
Chen Chuan laughed, stood up, and extended his hand to shake Xu Chan's, who had also stood up. "Old Xu, welcome. Welcome to the Pure School."
Xu Chan said, "When I went to the Fusion Land before, I remember telling Manager Chen that there's a great place to eat. When I return, I'll treat you. I wonder if Manager Chen has the time?"
Chen Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I have time. The restaurant Old Xu took me to last time was great. This time, we can enjoy the food again, and I can also tell you about some of the branch's situation."
After they finished their conversation, they tidied up and left the Handling Bureau without any followers. They drove to Fengde District and went to the largest inland lake in Zhongxincheng, Chaocai Lake, to have a boat dinner. The dishes were all delicious and tender lake fish and lake delicacies.
Although they had arrived at dusk, there were still many people boating on the lake. By the time the dishes were served, it was completely dark, but at that moment, floating lanterns rose into the air, and a light as bright as daylight shone down from the Lielang Canyon in the distance. The faint starlight and the lamp lights were reflected in the lake, making it seem like they were sailing through a galaxy. Even without considering the taste of the food, the atmosphere was excellent.
Since they were already at the edge of the southwest field domain of Zhongxincheng, their conversation was very private. They didn't have to worry about others overhearing any confidential information, so they could speak freely.
By the time they finished their meal, it was already past nine in the evening. Chen Chuan and Xu Chan drove away from there and returned to Wuding District. They bid each other farewell and parted ways, and Chen Chuan returned to his mansion in the area.
He went to freshen up first, then carried his luggage to the collection room. He took out all the weapons he had obtained from the Fusion Land one by one, cleaned them meticulously, and placed them on the weapon rack with great care.
Among these, the long spear of Wei Guo Chan was undoubtedly the most valuable for collection. Its material, design, and aesthetic appeal were unmatched by any other weapon, so he stood in front of it, admiring it for a long time.
However, he felt a bit regretful. The match earlier in the day was just a friendly competition, and Mr. Long didn't bring any weapons. Otherwise, he could have added one more to his collection.
But he thought there would likely be another opportunity in the future.
Hmm.
After examining the weapons, he left the room feeling satisfied and returned to the living room. He drank a hot beverage and then opened the Border Token.
At this moment, it had been just a day since he shot down the monster airship, and the incident was still unfolding. Everywhere, people were discussing the matter.
However, due to the limitations of many people's levels, most of them were just watching for the excitement. There wasn't much of value, so he closed it after a while and sat there with his eyes closed, resting for a moment. But soon, scenes from the past began to flash through his mind.
