Of course, Qin An was willing.

He had the occupational Golden Finger, which was the foundation of his standing in the world.

But whether it was Blood Essence or Cultivation Technique, they all existed to assist the Golden Finger, at an equally high level.

Today, Fox Yun came to ambush him, clearly with intent.

Lingzhou was filled with demons, not just the monkey demons of Cangyun Valley, but even a Tree Lord was watching.

Adding the Fox Mother to the mix now, Qin An urgently needed to enhance his strength.

Promoting to Jinzhou Commander would allow him to acquire the Jade Bone Realm Heart Method, enhance it with Blood Essence, and augment it with the talent of the Golden Finger.

Only when his strength surpassed all of Lingzhou would he be temporarily without worry.

So there's only advantages in becoming a Jinzhou Commander, without any downsides.

Yang Quanfeng nodded, satisfied, and said, "Clean up the battlefield."

Since he had agreed, there was no need for further words.

The people of the Evil Extermination Bureau took orders to clean up the battlefield.

One corpse after another was wrapped in tattered cloth and carried to the open ground.

Counting carefully, hundreds of corpses lay silent.

Among them were corpses of State Officials, mixed with those of Lingzhou Commanders.

The air was suffused with a sense of oppression.

Even though in the Evil Extermination Bureau, where life and death were commonplace, seeing comrades who they used to frequent brothels and drink with now turned into corpses was still mournful.

Yang Quanfeng stood in silence for a moment, bowed slightly to the corpses in front, then straightened his back.

"Carry the heroes home."

Though it was destined to be a shroud of a horsehide, their comrades felt the corpses in their hands to be immeasurably heavy.

Soon enough, no one was left from the Hundred Beasts Sect.

...

Evil Extermination Bureau.

Tang Lingwei's heart skipped slightly, occasionally glancing towards the entrance of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Gao Quan and Yao Feng stood to the side, saying, "Boss, it's led by Jinzhou Commander, it is absolutely safe."

The matter of Yang Quanfeng leading the team was known to the entire Evil Extermination Bureau, and they all knew the reason for it.

This mission was said to be a surefire success.

How could Tang Lingwei not know.

But the certainty was in the overall situation, missions like these always resulted in casualties.

"He has just joined the Evil Extermination Bureau, hasn't experienced such a big battle yet, it could be dangerous." Tang Lingwei cast another glance at the entrance.

Gao Quan opened his mouth, understanding that what Tang Lingwei said was also correct.

There's no big war without casualties.

In battles like these, it's normal for even many Lingzhou Commanders to die.

They fell into silence.

At this moment, footsteps were heard.

A voice came from outside the door, immediately capturing everyone's attention.

Yang Quanfeng, wearing dark clothing with a gold badge at his waist, strode in.

Behind him were rows of corpses laid one by one by the people of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

The Internal Affairs Department State Official immediately stepped forward to converse in detail with Yang Quanfeng.

After understanding the situation, Yang Quanfeng finally spoke.

"They all have families, give extra compensation, do not let the heroes' hearts be chilled."

The Internal Affairs Department State Official quickly agreed: "I will comply."

Many members of the Evil Extermination Bureau shifted their gazes from the corpses to the dark-clad figure beside Yang Quanfeng.

Beside Yang Quanfeng, aside from numerous Jinzhou Commanders, stood a young-looking, composed Lingzhou Commander.

This Lingzhou Commander, with a black knife at his waist, stood firm like an old pine tree, yet a faint evil energy emanated from him, though suppressed.

Amongst the Jinzhou Commanders, this Lingzhou Commander was like a firefly at night, extremely eye-catching.

At this moment, an action from Yang Quanfeng astonished everyone.

Yang Quanfeng turned and said, "Come see me after achieving the Jade Bone."

With those words, Yang Quanfeng left the courtyard first.

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Jinzhou Commander, such a noble position, actually took the initiative to speak to a Lingzhou Commander; many began speculating about Qin An's identity.

Tang Lingwei's expression turned complex, her hands hidden in her sleeves slightly clenched.

Gao Quan whispered, "I'm afraid Mr. Qin has achieved another great merit this time."

He was aware of Qin An's background; Qin An had no background and attained his current status through his sword alone.

The exchange with a Jinzhou Commander indicated great merit; Gao Quan could think of no other reason.

Tang Lingwei withdrew her gaze, biting her lower lip, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Gao Quan scratched his head, puzzled.

Yao Feng pointed out the crucial point: "The boss was affected; Mr. Qin has barely been here, yet he has such prestige, anyone would feel the same."

Gao Quan realized it and, looking again, Qin An was nowhere to be seen.

...

Returning to his room, Qin An locked the door behind him, took a short break, and after drinking some tea, pondered his next steps for improvement.

"The scholar profession as the primary enhancement goal."

"Next, it's time to charge into the Jade Bone Realm."

"Tomorrow, achievements will be tallied; I don't need to exchange too much as using the Body Storage Realm Cultivation Technique to consume Blood Energy isn't worthwhile."

"Keep the remaining achievements to exchange for Jade Bone Realm Cultivation Technique after promotion to Jinzhou Commander."

After a moment's thought, Qin An resolved to prioritize upgrading the scholar profession to level five in the coming days.

It was already late at night; Qin An ceased further thought, lay in bed, and drifted into shallow sleep.

...

The next day.

The morning sunlight hit the ground, forming patches of shadows.

A knock on the door.

"Mr. Qin, the achievements have been tallied."

Outside, an Internal Affairs Department State Official held a wooden tray, waiting respectfully.

Qin An, already tidy, opened the door.

On the wooden tray lay a piece of Blood Essence and a set of clean dark clothing.

Last night, Qin An had already changed his dark clothing; today, the Internal Affairs Department State Official presented new ones.

In the logistical aspect, the Internal Affairs Department State Officials carried out their duties meticulously.

After storing the Blood Essence, Qin An did not immediately absorb it.

A piece of Blood Essence is equivalent to a hundred Blood Crystals; his internal Blood Energy was already at its limit; it's fine to absorb after use.

The Internal Affairs Department State Official, seeing Qin An store it, looked at him with admiration before leaving.

The Lingzhou Commander being rewarded with Blood Essence proved his outstanding achievements.

In the Evil Extermination Bureau where strength was respected, it was normal for the Internal Affairs Department State Official to behave so.

After the Internal Affairs Department State Official departed, Qin An closed the door and headed to the Confidential Library.

First submitting the bronze token, Qin An carefully browsed the bookshelves.

As he thought the previous day, today he searched for blade techniques and heart methods.

The butcher had already reached level five; once the scholar hit level five, he could maximize the use of Blood Energy.

While Qin An searched, a sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

At the entrance, several Internal Affairs Department State Officials carried a wooden box into the room.

The wooden box was open, filled with numerous books.

One of the Internal Affairs Department State Officials said, "Put this Heart Method on the shelf for exchange as Body-Encompassing Realm Skill."

The recording State Official was surprised: "This is a Jade Bone Realm… wait, it's the Subodhi Heart Skill, seems the Bodhi Sect has weakened to the extreme."

As the words fell, the State Official registered the book.

Qin An slightly frowned, thinking to himself: "Jade Bone Realm Cultivation Technique exchanged as Body-Encompassing Realm level, interesting."

He paused and approached the Internal Affairs Department State Official, asking, "Why exchange as Body-Encompassing Realm Skill?"

The Internal Affairs Department State Official, seeing the bronze badge on Qin An's waist, quickly bowed and explained: "Sir, this Heart Method has a flaw."
