Jiang’er, blinking her large eyes, listened attentively to both what she could understand and what she couldn’t.
The official system of Dachen treated civil and military ranks equally, whether at court or in the National Taoist Institute, the sa rank structure was employed.
The nine-rank system.
Starting from Ninth Grade and ending with Standard First Rank, there were a total of eighteen tiers across nine ranks.
Above Standard First Rank, there were Super Ranks, which were more complex.
High ranks were rged with Noble Ranks to form Super Ranks, with six levels of Noble Ranks: Comndation, Viscount, Marquis, Earl, Duke, and Prince.
However, promotion in court differed from that within the National Taoist Institute.
Promotion in court primarily depended on examination performance, but within the National Taoist Institute, it was also tied to one’s strength.
This is why disciples from the National Taoist Institute were often appointed one tier higher upon taking office.
By joining the Taoist Institute’s Star Patrol Guard, one was essentially taking an official position, already at the rank of Secondary Ninth Grade.
The team leader of the Star Patrol Guard thus held the Standard Ninth Rank.
The Vice Flag Master of the Star Patrol Guard was of Secondary Eighth Rank.
Positions like Ning Yuchan’s Chief Instructor were at Standard Seventh Rank.
This ti, after the evaluations, she was promoted one tier to Secondary Sixth Rank.
The Mountain Master’s rank within the Taoist Institute was even higher.
Originally, the position of the Mountain Master was at Secondary Fifth-rank within the institute.
A normal promotion would an, at most, jumping two levels to beco the Vice Dean of a State Taoist Institute, which was Secondary Fourth Rank.
But now, due to Xu Jin, it was a direct three-rung jump.
According to the National Taoist Institute’s intentions, Mountain Master Dong Zhao could have taken over as Dean of the Yan State Taoist Institute, holding sway over an entire region.
However, Mountain Master Dong Zhao chose to return to the National Taoist Institute, foregoing the fiercely contested opportunity to rule alone.
It’s worth ntioning Lu Chenfeng, the forr Dean of the Yan State Taoist Institute.
He received a C – rating in the autumn exam and was directly demoted one rank, then dispatched to serve in the Galaxy Battlefield!
He must restore his original rank in the Galaxy Battlefield and achieve Great rit three tis before he could return!
This punishnt was considered extrely severe.
For Lu Chenfeng to restore his original rank in the Galaxy Battlefield was not difficult; with the ample rits available there, even just by enduring for three to five years, he could regain his rank.
But to achieve Great rit three tis was a different matter.
It was sothing that could only potentially be obtained by fighting bravely on the front lines and slaying Alien Race chiefs.
With good luck, it could take one or two years, or perhaps eight to ten years.
With bad luck, one might stay forever on the Galaxy Battlefield.
Overall, the system of the Dachen court may be set aside, but under the diligent administration of National Master Cheng Yuxiao, the National Taoist Institute of Dachen Country thrived with clear rewards and punishnts!
All along the way, the conversation was thrilling, and so were the views.
At a flying altitude of around two thousand ters, the landscape of Dachen’s mountains and rivers was indeed magnificent.
Jiang’er, who had never been far from ho and was taking a starship for the first ti on her long-distance journey, had an excited, flushed little face.
Two and a half hours later, when the starship entered the airspace above a plain area surrounded by mountains on three sides and began undergoing successive inspections by Fifth Tier experts, this signified that they had arrived at their destination, Wanyi – the Great Chen Capital.
On August 22nd, at noon, Xu Jin and his companions directly landed on a huge platform filled with flying boats.
They had arrived at the National Daoist Institute of Dachen Country!
“Xu Jin, the first thing to do after reporting is to go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to exchange your token,” reminded Mountain Master Dong Zhao.
As Xu Jin nodded, suddenly, the Star-picking Order vibrated slightly, and upon imrsing his mind to see who the ssenger was, he was instantly overjoyed.
Old Qi’s Starlight Transmission had finally arrived!
