Chapter 71 Onboarding
"But do you want to confirm joining Eastwood County?"
Yan Dongmu wanted to confirm that such a genius would have no problem entering the Five Peaks Sect.
"Yes." Luo Feng nodded.
"Alright, then I will make you the second deputy city lord of my Dongmu County." Yan Dongmu agreed and looked at the tall and thin Tie Liu: "Tieliu, from now on you will stay by my side."
As someone who had followed him for over a decade and was his confidant, his promotion from deputy city lord to his personal guard was exactly what he wanted.
"Yes, Lord City Lord." Tie Liu's voice was somewhat rough, which didn't match his tall and thin body at all.
Yan Dongmu flipped his hand, and a black jade-colored token appeared in his hand.
The token bears the words "Dongmu".
"This is the symbol of my identity in Dongmu County. Once you refine it, you will be a person of Dongmu County and also a person of the Five Peaks Sect."
As he spoke, he tossed the black jade token to Luo Feng:
"I believe you already know about the Five Peaks Sect, so I won't go into too much detail. You'd better be aware of your own identity. If an enemy force infiltrates, the outcome will be beyond my control."
Since the Five Peaks Sect dares to recognize and accept people within the territory of Peak Continent as its members, it means that they have absolute control over the entire Peak Continent. It is almost impossible for hostile forces to send people to infiltrate.
When it comes to actually coming into contact with the Five Peaks Sect, anyone who wants to become a core threat needs to undergo absolute testing.
The Five Peaks Sect has been able to stand for so long because of its capabilities.
"Thank you, City Lord." Luo Feng nodded.
The Five Peaks Sect's approach demonstrates its considerable confidence.
The key point is that these cultivation forces wouldn't resort to espionage to compete... Luo Feng felt that there must be even stronger beings at higher levels.
Yan Dongmu nodded slightly and said, "Tie Liu, take Xingchen to familiarize himself with the surroundings, and then arrange a place for him to stay, bathe, and change. As for his inauguration ceremony, it can't be omitted. The ceremony will be held in the city square in ten days. You can arrange that as well."
Tie Liu is quite meticulous in his work.
This is why he preferred Tie Liu to be his trusted confidant.
"Yes." Tie Liu cupped his hands slightly and looked at Luo Feng: "Brother Xingchen, come with me."
Watching Tie Liu and Luo Feng leave, Yan Dongmu turned to the burly man beside him and said, "Shi E, you arrange for someone to conduct a simple investigation into the background of this Xing Chenjin. We don't need to investigate his past in detail, just find out what he's been doing in the four years he's been in Fengzhou."
"Yes, Lord City Lord." The burly man bowed.
……
Tie Liu also became completely absorbed in this star.
For someone so young to be able to suppress him, their strength and potential are immense, and they might even help him advance further in the future.
Of course, it must withstand the thorough examination and investigation of the Five Peaks Sect.
The more likely it is to touch the core of the Five Peaks Sect, the greater the intensity of the investigation will be. As long as it is within the territory of Peak Continent, or even the nearby continents, its origin can be traced.
If he becomes a core member of the Five Peaks Sect in the future, he may be able to take this opportunity to advance.
The two left the courtyard.
Tie Liu smiled and said, "Young Brother Xingchen, you just said you've been here for four years. You've spent all four years in my Dongmu County? You should be familiar with my Dongmu County by now, right?"
"I'm ashamed to say that for the past four years, I've been focused on cultivation. For me, nothing else has really mattered besides cultivation." Luo Feng also left himself with a persona.
"No wonder, no wonder you, who look no older than twenty or thirty, have such strength." Tie Liu sighed with a smile. "I'm already sixty-six this year, but my strength hasn't progressed much since I reached the Bone Forging Realm. To advance further, I need enough opportunities."
"You should also set your sights on the Five Peaks Sect."
He directly told Yan Dongmu what he wouldn't say, hoping to gain some favor.
"But I feel I'm not qualified. If I enter the Five Peaks Sect, I'm not the most outstanding genius, and I can't get core resources. I'd be better off staying in a county town below." Luo Feng didn't hide anything.
The key is to be direct and gain some trust.
"You're quite frank," Tie Liu smiled.
After the two left the compound, they walked along the corridor for about 300 meters and came to a large open space, which looked like a large square.
The surrounding buildings appear to be the core of the interior.
"That is the treasure pavilion of our city lord's mansion. It is the most important place in the city lord's mansion, and only the city lord can go in."
"The building next door is the residence of the City Guard, which belongs to the City Lord's private guards. Although there are only four of them, each of them is a master of the Bone Forging Realm, and their strength is probably only slightly weaker than mine."
Luo Feng was taken aback when he saw this.
I never expected that a city lord's mansion would have such power.
Also.
Unlike other county towns, Dongmu County is not dominated by family forces. It is almost entirely controlled by the county government, and other smaller forces have not yet achieved any significant scale.
After crossing the large square, Tie Liu led Luo Feng around in circles.
A full half hour later, we arrived at a large courtyard that resembled a collection of residential houses. It wasn't just one large courtyard; it was more like a series of small villas.
"This area is where we live."
"I live in this one, and Shi'e lives in this one."
Tie Liu pointed to the two courtyards and introduced them.
Shi E was the same burly man from earlier.
Luo Feng simply nodded calmly.
"In the city lord's mansion, besides the city lord himself, there used to be only two deputy city lords, including myself. Now, you have taken my place."
"Besides a few of us, only the top confidants of the city guard live in the city lord's mansion. So, as you can feel, it's quite quiet here."
As they spoke, the two arrived at a building resembling a courtyard house. Inside, there was a training courtyard with weapon racks and two black iron locks, each weighing over a million kilograms.
"This will be your residence from now on. A servant will bring you clothes shortly. After you bathe and change, you can cultivate on your own or take a walk around the neighborhood. With the token in your hand, you can move freely except for a few places."
"By the way, there's a portrait album in your room. It contains all the portraits of people in my city lord's mansion. You can get to know them through the album, and it won't be long before your information is updated in as well."
"Ten days later, we'll hold an inauguration ceremony for you, and then everyone will know about you."
Tie Liu smiled, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and then bid farewell to Luo Feng before leaving.
Watching Tie Liu leave, he thought, "That guy is really meticulous. It's obvious that Yan Dongmu trusts him a lot, and he also wants to climb the ranks through me. Maybe I can use him."
People who are like this often have great ambitions. If they weren't ambitious, why would they do so much?
But what he needs are ambitious people, people who can be influenced by interests.
"Yan Dongmu hasn't mentioned salary yet. I wonder if being the deputy city lord will allow me to accumulate enough Qi Sand to break through to the Bone Forging Realm."
Luo Feng came here with only one purpose: to obtain Qi Sand for the Body Forging Realm and, incidentally, to gain the attention of the Five Peaks Sect and enter the sect by using this new identity.
