perhaps by tomorrow, Qin An could be considered her equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be promoted from state official to bronze state guard, one needs to achieve great merit, and having the blood of demons or pseudo-gods on hand is essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When state officials undertake a task together, performances are reported according to their efforts post-task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much like today, if they have overcome hardships and risked their lives to slay demons, the merit would be distributed among everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merits of two Body Realm enemies are significant, but divided among the group, it becomes much less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in this battle, the main credit belonged to Qin An, as he alone slew the pseudo-god among the demons, leaving very little for others, with Qin An taking the lion’s share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such opportunities for advancement require not only luck, encountering two Body Realm enemies but also strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Qin An’s strength, how could he claim such merit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for embezzling merit, such a thing cannot happen within the Evil Extermination Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a clear decree from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All are people risking their lives for the common folk;

the monthly stipend sufficed for luxurious indulgence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An nodded and stepped out of his door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he went to the Resource Hall. After collecting the month’s stipend, he proceeded to the Confidential Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As before, Qin An handed over his badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the state official from Internal Affairs didn’t underestimate it, respectfully returning his badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, you may select three Body-Encompassing Realm Skills, and bring them out once transcribed,\" the state official said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By rules, state officials could select only two things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bronze state guards differed; they could select an additional one, a privilege of sorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retrieving his badge, Qin An entered the Confidential Library and began to carefully select one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The books on the shelves had names and descriptions but no content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was to prevent those with photographic memory from memorizing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beforehand, Qin An knew what he should choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, his sword and heart methods were nearly perfect, but his body technique lagged, still a Hidden Qi Realm Body Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from this, he needed a defensive method and a fist technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fist technique was basic; he wanted to advance further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defense was always Qin An’s weakness, an essential necessity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Confidential Library had a significant number of cultivation techniques, but the state official thoughtfully categorized them, making it easy to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An looked for fist and body techniques first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist technique was called the Long Sky Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fist technique was incredibly fierce, reminiscent of Qin An’s Red Flame Mountain-Breaking Hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body technique was titled Snake Form Body Skill, emphasizing movement in confined spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bluebird Leap had wide application, much like swallows gliding, but lacked confined maneuverability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qin An analyzed it along with Bluebird Leap, he might compensate for Bluebird Leap’s shortcomings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With fist and body techniques chosen, he struggled with selecting a defensive method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before the bookshelf, Qin An pondered: \"I have no profession related to defensive methods; if the deduction fails, I’d need to start a new profession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of decision, Qin An chose an easily activated defensive method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each cultivation technique was thoroughly annotated, and Qin An patiently reviewed each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, one appeared in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Reverse Gang Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a bronze state guard from Foreign Affairs passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the technique in Qin An’s hands, he kindly shook his head: \"Don’t choose that; it’s very difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reverse Gang Qi required transforming Qi into small needles to pierce major acupoints and generate Gang Qi, protecting oneself with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficult part of this technique was the immense pain during cultivation, the kind that pierces to the bone, unbearable for most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An read it once, then picked up the three techniques and headed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bronze state guard, feeling curious, saw Qin An’s disregard and spoke no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wrong choice was one’s fate; no one else could be blamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a kind reminder; if ignored, so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After registering everything and obtaining the replicated techniques from the Internal Affairs’ state official, Qin An quietly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already had a new profession plan in mind, deciding to deduce the body and fist techniques first.\u003C\u002Fp>",1387,"2026-06-03T03:46:00.935Z","2026-06-03T03:46:06.308Z",1,"novelbin.me","90250e5c73b35f8e2018e6a2986123ae42a6c82dba7e96603e1e07fcc13185f0","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-39","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-37",632,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-cover.jpg"]
