The Tianjiwei forces are vast, and almost all major and minor matters in the cities under the Ziwu Palace are under the control of the Tianjiwei, just taking the city guards under the Tianjiwei as an example.
The city guards of Ziwai City are divided into four major districts: east, west, south and north. Each district is further divided into nine camps, with one golden elixir cultivator and two hundred foundation-building cultivators stationed in each camp. In addition to this, there are also fifty foundation-building cultivators serving as reserve members in each camp.
Every year, some members leave or join the Shinpu Corps, and the vacant positions are filled by reserve members and new recruits who have undergone assessment. Reserve members also participate in the assessment, with their scores determining whether they qualify to become official city guards.
The four major regions of east, west, south and north are all led by a Yuan Ying Taoist priest, who are all elders in the Zi Wei Palace.
Thus, the city guard of Ziwu City alone is composed of four great Yuanying cultivators, thirty-six Jindan cultivators, and seven thousand two hundred formal team members who are foundation-building cultivators. This force is almost equivalent to the total power of the entire Xianxia world in Chuzhou, not to mention the city guards of the 36 cities under its jurisdiction.
And this is just a subordinate organization of the Tianji Guard, and the Tianji Guard is only an external force of the Ziwei Palace. It can be imagined how vast and terrifying the Ziwei Palace is.
But how strong the Divine Wind Corps is, is a mystery!
The members of the Kamikaze Corps were called Kamikaze Messengers and were divided into three ranks: Silver Messenger, Red Messenger, and Purple Messenger.
The members of the Divine Wind Camp in the Foundation Building period are Silver Wei Messengers, those in the Golden Elixir period are Crimson Wei Messengers, and those in the Yuan Ying period are Purple Wei Messengers.
Shen Feng Camp is a special institution. When Xīn Wēi is capturing escaped prisoners or monitoring some door forces, she can hold the Xīn Wēi order in any city to call on 20 Jīgōng Shì of the City Guard to follow her command. Chì Wēi can summon one camp of City Guards to assist in executing tasks. Zǐ Wēi has the right to mobilize all City Guards under the jurisdiction of Zǐ Wēi City and lower cities to handle cases.
Moreover, the Kamikaze members of the Divine Wind Corps do not need to stay in a fixed garrison all the time, they only need to complete their corresponding tasks every year, and the rest of the time can be arranged by themselves.
Different levels of Wind Guardians have different tasks. For example, the Silver Wind Guardian must complete at least ten tasks per year, and if more are completed, additional rewards can be obtained.
No one knows where the Wind Guardians are, maybe a monk you meet on the street is a Wind Guardian. The number of monks in the Wind Camp may not be comparable to the City Guard, but every Wind Guardian is absolutely the best of the same level!
Li Hui's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and in her heart, she secretly felt the terror of the power of the Ziwei Palace.
"How is it? Do you have any understanding of the city guard? If there's anything unclear, feel free to ask me." Just as Li Hui was lost in thought, Lü Yanzhao's voice came over.
Li Hui finally came back to his senses, seeing Lü Yanzhao smiling at him with a slightly furrowed brow: "Lü senior, I've finished reading the information in this jade slip, but there are still some things I don't understand."
"Oh? Tell me."
Li Hui hesitated for a moment before saying, "After reviewing the information in this jade slip, I think it's even more suitable for me to join the Divine Wind Camp. However, most of the members of the Divine Wind Camp are selected from the Tianji City Guard, so I don't know if I can directly join the Divine Wind Camp."
Lü Yanzhao's face showed a hint of astonishment: "You want to directly join the Divine Wind Camp?"
"The junior thinks that the Wind God Camp is more suitable, if not, then so be it. As for this City Guard, the junior thinks it's not very suitable."
Li Hui saw Lv Yanzhao's expression and thought that there was probably no hope, as for the city guard team, he didn't have much interest, so he said "not quite suitable" in a polite way.
Lü Yanzhao immediately understood Li Hui's thoughts and couldn't help but feel a little stunned. The young man in front of him had a rather proud demeanor, yet he smiled slightly: "Of course, you can directly join the Shenfeng Camp, but the assessment for the Shenfeng Camp will be held after the city guard team's assessment. As long as you pass the city guard team's assessment, you'll have the qualifications to participate in the Shenfeng Camp's assessment. However, I must remind you that it's not easy to get into the Shenfeng Camp. Every year, only a few people from each district of the Ziwai City Guard Team can successfully pass the Shenfeng Camp's assessment."
Li Hui's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, each district has 1,800 foundation repair monks, only a few can pass through, this Divine Wind Camp is indeed not simple! However, his heart increased several points of yearning.
"Junior still has some confidence in his own cultivation, and wants to try it out." Li Hui said calmly, but with a hint of self-confidence and arrogance.
"Haha, it's not bad for young people to have this pursuit. If you've decided, you can register now and a month later, the city guard will hold an assessment for new recruits. If you pass, you'll be qualified to participate in the Divine Wind Camp assessment." Lyu Yanxiang said with a big laugh.
"Thank you, senior. Please tell me where I should sign up and register," Li Hui asked.
"Hmm, wait a minute, I'll have someone take you there." Lü Yanzhao's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out, apparently transmitting his voice.
In less than a moment, a Jiashi repairman walked in and bowed: "What are the leader's orders?"
"There is someone here who wants to sign up for the City Guard assessment. You first take him to register and sign up, and then arrange his accommodation." Lyu Yanzhao said calmly.
"This humble monk obeys," replied the monk, and immediately turned around to face Li Hui: "Fellow Taoist, please follow me."
Li Hui nodded and bowed his hands towards Lü Yan Zhao: "Senior Lü, I'll take my leave now."
Lü Yanzhao nodded slightly and then Li Hui followed the Jigong repairman out of the main hall, turning left as they went.
"This fellow Daoist, you are the first to sign up this year, aren't you? Commander Lü just gave the order to start accepting registrations yesterday, and you're here today." The Jīgōu cultivator looked like he was under twenty years old, and on the road, he chatted with He Ben in the same way as Li Hui.
Li Hui smiled: "I also happened to arrive just in time."
That Taoist priest looked at Li Hui in surprise, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Fellow Taoist, what is your relationship with Commander Lü? I heard that kid He Ben say that you came with Commander Lü's token."
Being a foundation cultivator as well, and looking around the same age, this foundation cultivator also relaxed a bit.
Li Hui heard this and couldn't help but laugh and cry, it seemed that he was being treated as if he had come in through the back door. He explained with a hint of helplessness: "I only met Commander Lü once, and he just happened to give me his token on a whim."
The builder nodded slightly, not knowing whether he believed Li Hui's words. He let out a slight sigh and said, "However, Commander Lü is very strict. Whoever it is must pass the assessment to be eligible. I still have to take an assessment this year, and if I don't pass, I won't even be able to join the reserve team."
The assessment of the city guard is quite strict. Every year, the cultivators who participate in the assessment are ranked according to their performance, and after filling up the missing formal team members, there are only 50 places left for reserve team members. If these reserve team members still fail to pass the next round of assessment, they will lose their qualification to join the city guard and cannot even be a reserve member.
Li Hui's heart skipped a beat: "Is this assessment very difficult?"
"That monk replied, 'It's tough! Last year, in our seventh battalion of the Eastern City District alone, there were 300 people who signed up, but only 60 remained. Even several reserve members from the previous session were eliminated.'"
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at a slightly smaller hall on the left and walked in together.
"Captain Zeng, someone has come to sign up for this year's assessment." The Foundation Establishment cultivator who brought Li Hui over said to a cultivator sitting at the back of a long table, about thirty years old, with a cold and stern expression.
That foundation-building cultivator was also sorting through some jade slips and jade plaques, and upon hearing the words, he raised his head to glance at the two of them. His eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Someone's here to sign up so quickly!" He paused for a moment before speaking to Li Hui: "You're the one signing up, tell me your name and cultivation level." From start to finish, his face was tense, with an aloof expression that made him seem hard to approach.
"Li Hui, at the beginning of building the foundation." Li Hui said calmly.
Zeng team leader looked at Li Hui with some surprise, then his face returned to normal: "Let me see your ID card."
Li Hui didn't say much either and took out his ID card and handed it over.
Zeng team leader's spiritual consciousness swept, confirming that there was no problem, and then picked up a jade slip, grasping it with one hand, a burst of spiritual light flashed, and it was engraved with Li Hui's information. Two blocks were engraved in succession, and then handed one to Li Hui: "One month later, come for an assessment. Five days before the assessment, bring this jade slip over and undergo another review. Be on time when you arrive."
Li Hui took over the jade slip and put it into his storage bag, then followed the Jibei cultivator who had brought him in out of the room.
After they left, Zeng Que, the captain, shook his head: "A cultivator in the early stages of foundation building also came to sign up, thinking that this city guard accepts anyone!"
