He took the letter, a puzzled expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while ago, he had asked Elder Mu to find someone to deliver a letter to Zhou Qing. Now, it seemed he finally had a reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai considered this, but decided not to open it there. Instead, he left the resource room and headed for the Ding Twenty-Third Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Ding Twenty-Third Division, Huang Guang and Kong Fang were discussing matters of the pleasure quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, the two had been frequenting such establishments, becoming all too familiar with the Music Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, their once-generous stipends were becoming increasingly tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they hadn’t visited the Music Bureau recently. Instead, they just spent their free time swapping stories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They made particularly good use of the things Shen Bai had taught them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shen Bai arrived, the gazes of both Huang Guang and Kong Fang immediately snapped to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They froze in unison when they saw the token at Shen Bai’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Shen, how on earth did you suddenly become a Ding Shou?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprise filled Huang Guang’s eyes. Then, realizing his blunder, he quickly cupped his fists and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huang Guang of the Ding Twenty-Third Division greets Lord Shen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Observatory, the hierarchy was strict and absolute. No one could overstep its bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shen Bai weren’t a Ding Shou, Huang Guang could have called him Brother Shen, even if he were a member of the Bing Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Shen Bai was a Ding Shou, he held an official post. Combined with his promotion to the Si Zhou Household, Huang Guang’s form of address had to change instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Fang was naturally a lively person, but even he stood and cupped his fists. \"Kong Fang greets Lord Shen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rules were rules. There were no loopholes to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially not in the Observatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai understood their position, of course. He nodded. \"Don’t mind me. Just carry on with your conversation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he walked over to his seat and picked up the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter was from Zhou Qing. Truth be told, Shen Bai was very concerned about his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was an extremely dangerous thing for Zhou Qing to go to the military camps alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front of the envelope bore four words: \"To Shen Bai alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile touched Shen Bai’s lips as he slid the letter from its envelope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately recognized Zhou Qing’s handwriting on the page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter began with eight words: \"Brother Shen Bai, to read this letter is to meet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai then read through the letter, getting the gist of its contents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Shen Bai’s brow furrowed. He set the letter down on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems life in the army isn’t completely peaceful,’ Shen Bai thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the letter, Zhou Qing had distinguished himself in the military camps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been promoted several times, and his strength had even reached the Three Treasures Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never improved so quickly back in Shengyun County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing believed that such a high-pressure environment was better at unlocking a person’s potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai was actually quite happy to read this. After all, his friend was doing well in the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for his furrowed brow stemmed from what Zhou Qing mentioned next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not long ago, a group of people came to the camp, claiming to be from the Peach Opera Garden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They performed an opera in the camp, and I was quite happy at first. We never had such lively events back in Shengyun County, so I went to watch with a friend I’d made in the army.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as we watched, and after the people from the Peach Opera Garden had left, a number of abominations inexplicably appeared in the area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was just a small incident. The abominations weren’t strong, and I quickly led some men to exterminate them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to that point, this was the only thing in the entire letter that Shen Bai found strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the letter was filled with Zhou Qing’s expressions of how much he missed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the letter, Shen Bai found the three words \"Peach Opera Garden\" to be particularly jarring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This faction hailed from the city of Marquis Fengjiang, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say the Marquis himself had propped them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What on earth are they trying to do?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, Shen Bai recalled what Liu Wufeng had said and was lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his contemplation lasted only for the time it took half an incense stick to burn before Shen Bai stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whatever. Grinding my Skill Levels is more important right now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Peach Opera Garden isn’t here yet, and even if they do show up, State Governor Liu Wufeng is there to handle it. If the Observatory issues a mission, I’ll act. If not, I’m not getting involved.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Shen Bai headed to the Martial Arts Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Martial Arts Arena, plenty of Observatory members were still coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai booked a private room and, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, shut the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling of being the center of attention—one could get used to it after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Skill Levels,’ Shen Bai thought, as he surveyed all the Divine Powers he currently possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Blood Sword Dance lv.5 (Swordsmanship +16, Anti-Demon +16, Vibration +16, Sword Qi +16, Spirituality +16): 0\u002F15000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Vajra Dharma Form Fist lv.5 (Fist Technique +16, Buddha’s Light +16, Power Dao +16, Fist Gang +16, Dharma Aspect +16): 0\u002F15000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bright Jade Evil Body lv.4 (Hardness +8, Resilience +8, Counter Damage +8, Anti-Sealing +8): 0\u002F10000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mystic Heart Spell lv.4 (Clear Heart +8, Neutral +8, blessing +8, Non-Invasion +8): 0\u002F10000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Shadow Walk lv.4 (Hidden +8, Hidden Track +8, Shadow-Dispelling +8, Night Combat +8): 0\u002F10000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Divine Hundred Miles lv.3 (Speed +4, Endurance +4, Evasion +4): 0\u002F5000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Poison Avoidance and Rejuvenation Skill lv.3 (Healing +4, Recovery +4, Antitoxic +4): 1000\u002F5000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mixed Element Array-Breaking Technique lv.3 (Array +4, Gathering Array +4, Primordial +4): 0\u002F5000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reviewing all of his Divine Powers, he thought for a moment and decided to raise the Skill Level of his Divine Hundred Miles.\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-03T14:13:27.146Z","2026-06-03T14:13:33.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","3bbf7cbb2f90e329d7cc87f4251c453b2d89ba9f61c5167796b911ae97ab5849","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-177","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-175",322,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-extract-divine-power-cover.jpg"]
