It was a practical exam.
Reading palms and faces, understanding Feng Shui formations, drawing talismans, arranging arrays, spells, etc.
It took nearly two hours to complete the exam.
The exam results would be sent to the phone within 24 hours.
A few hours later, Nan Chu received her exam results. She had an outstanding performance in all areas, directly promoted to an Interdiate-level Fortune Teller, Feng Shui Master, and Magician.
The related certificates would be mailed to her ho within seven business days.
And on the sect’s website, the title next to her na automatically changed to Full Interdiate.
Full Interdiate ans: Fortune Telling, Magician, and Feng Shui are all Interdiate.
If one only learned one, the title would be Interdiate Fortune Teller, Interdiate Feng Shui Master...
With the Interdiate certification, Nan Chu was then pulled into the Interdiate group by the Human Resources Elder of the sect.
Being of Interdiate Level, one must complete one interdiate task each month, or else contribution points will be deducted from the sect.
If the deductions reach negative fifty, the level certification will be downgraded.

The remaining interdiate tasks.

After taking on the task, the task details appeared.
Task Location: Huzhou City...
Task Contact: Liu Yang.
Task Contact Phone: 157...
Task Reward: 88,000.
Nan Chu dialed the number, and after waiting for a mont, the other party answered the call.
"Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Liu Yang, I am a disciple of the Tai Chi Sect."
Before Nan Chu could finish her sentence, Liu Yang quickly interjected, "Master, are you coming to catch the ghost at my house? When will you arrive...?"
After Liu Yang finished speaking, Nan Chu replied, "I’m heading to your house today. Can you tell more about the situation first?"
"About half a month ago, I started dreaming every night of a ghost chasing in my dreams."
"Initially, I didn’t take it seriously until five days ago when I was injured by the ghost’s knife in my dream. After waking up, my left arm had the sa injury."
"Exactly like the wound from the ghost in my dream."
"Now I don’t dare to sleep deeply. Every ti I fall asleep, that ghost cos to chase ."
"Alright, I understand the situation. I’ll contact you when I arrive in Huzhou City."
"Okay, okay."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Chu purchased a train ticket to Huzhou City.
The next day, at 1 PM, Nan Chu arrived outside Liu Yang’s community.
Nan Chu called Liu Yang, and after a few minutes, Liu Yang ca out.
"Master?"
"Hmm," Nan Chu nodded.
[This master looks so familiar. Also, this master seems too young; can they really catch ghosts?]
"Let introduce myself, I’m Nan Chu."
"Nan Chu?" Liu Yang felt like he had heard this na sowhere before. Then he rembered, "There’s a celebrity also nad Nan Chu."
Liu Yang doesn’t follow celebrities closely, but he had encountered so short videos about Nan Chu, leaving a minor impression.
"Maybe it’s just a nasake." Nan Chu smiled and said, "Let’s go, I’ll take a look at your house."
"This way, Master," Liu Yang led the way to his rented house.
