Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Qin Shujian hadn't left his bedchamber at all.
During that time, Shi Qingsheng came in and out several times, each time bringing a large amount of food.
In the bedroom.
Shen Changqing finally ended his cultivation and began to check his panel.
Name: Shen ChangqingPower: Qin Town Demon DivisionIdentity: Yellow Rank Exorcist Martial Arts: Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Practice (20th layer, cannot be upgraded), Heavenly Martial Qi (13th layer, cannot be upgraded), Seven Kills Sword Technique (3rd layer), Iron Sand Palm (2nd layer)
Slaughter: 0
As Shen Changqing had guessed.
When the Thirteen Protectors practiced their kung fu between levels 16 and 19, it cost five points of killing value per level. However, when breaking through to level 20, the consumption directly doubled.
Of course.
The consumption doubled, but the effect on physical enhancement was also greatly increased.
Forty-one points of killing value, just the thirteen Taibao's practice alone consumed twenty-five points. The remaining sixteen points only increased by two layers of Tianwu Gang."When the twelve layers of Tianwu Gang are complete, they can allow martial artists to enter the outer gang realm. Now that I have thirteen layers of Tianwu Gang Qi, it should be almost close to the peak of the outer gang, but if I want to break through the master realm, there is still a certain gap."
On the contrary, it was the Thirteen Taibao's twenty layers of intensive cultivation that made my physical defense extremely strong.
Now, even without using Qi to defend myself, it would be difficult for an ordinary Meridian Opening martial artist to break through my physical defenses.
Shen Changqing pondered silently.
Without a real fight, he couldn't be 100% certain if his physical defenses could truly withstand someone at the Pulse Meridian realm.
However, that's not what he's most concerned about at the moment.
Now, Shen Changqing's most important concern is how to break through the Grandmaster realm.
To be honest.
He doesn't know much about the master.
When you are on the first floor of the library, don't even talk about the masters' realm. Even if you reach the innate realm, you'll only have a superficial understanding. At best, you'll just be familiar with the concept of the realm.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It wasn't until the Zhenmo Division sent Tianwu Gangqi that he truly understood the realm of innate.
Please note that I have only translated the content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves are not translated.
But Shen Changqing, the master who came after that, was completely baffled.
What is a master!
How to break through the master level!
He had no clue.
“The second floor of the library might contain records of masters, but information about their martial arts techniques is likely to be on the third floor. As a Yellow Rank Demon Slayer, entering the second floor is already my limit.”
Unless—I can be promoted to a Xuan-rank demon slayer, then it's a different story!
Shen Changqing was playing with the Qingling Jade Pendant in his hand. If he submitted this thing, he might be directly promoted to the Xuan rank demon slayer.
As long as you are promoted successfully, your treatment in all aspects will be improved.
Correspondingly.
The danger of future diplomatic missions will also rise linearly.
Yellow-Rank Demon Exterminators usually handle tasks involving minor and ghostly apparitions. The most dangerous of these are assisting Xuan-Rank Demon Exterminators in dealing with resentful-grade apparitions.
As for Shen Changqing.
Whether it's a Ghoulish or a Grievous Specter, with his current methods, he shouldn't have any major problems.
But if promoted to the Xuanjie Demon Slayer.
If you're unlucky, your diplomatic mission is likely to involve higher-ranking demons.
Just like Liu Chang.
A fine and reputable manager of the Huangbu Demon Exorcism Institute, who was also a Xuan-rank demon exorcist, should have been as steady as an old dog. Yet, he died at the hands of a sinister, evil spirit of the Sha level.
Therefore, it can be seen.
While promotion offers many benefits, it also comes with considerable risks.
She silently stayed at the Yellow Rank, then went out on missions, only harvesting low-level demons. Gradually accumulating strength, she either steadily ascended to higher ranks or faced powerful demons, reaping a massive wave of killing points.
This—is a difficult choice.
After all, a Level 5 monster can only provide around ten or twenty points of killing value if it's weak. If it's stronger, it could offer around fifteen or more points.
>
But if it were a vengeful ghost, the killing value provided would be much higher.
As strong as Rong Wen.
It directly provided thirty points of killing value, comparable to the hard work it took to kill two or three Level 6 monsters.
Just that.
The risks involved are also not low.
"Let's see!"
"Let's talk about everything when we get back to the Demon Suppression Division."
Shen Changqing took a deep breath. His current mission remained: to guard the city of Lin'an.
According to the news from Tiancewei, in a few days, the demon essence blood will be born.
And besides, I calculated the time.
The formally appointed magistrate sent by the imperial court should be arriving soon, too.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“The news that I killed the demon cultivators of the Zhang family has reached Tiancha Wei. My breakthrough to the Xiantian realm is also estimated to be impossible to hide, but with the Tongmai Pill in hand, breaking through Xiantian can still be explained.”
"One's own foundation is ultimately too shallow. Wanting to quickly improve one's strength while avoiding anyone's attention, where in the world could there be such a good thing that satisfies both"
Shen Changqing had long been mentally prepared for the current situation.
While the Demon Suppression Division can operate discreetly and amass killing points to increase their cultivation level, that method is too slow.
Therefore, exposure is only a matter of time.
Anyway, with the existence of Tongmai Dan as an excuse, although breaking through to the innate realm is still somewhat shocking and outlandish, it's not completely inexplicable.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
And.
Breaking through the innate realm doesn't necessarily mean being promoted to the Profound Rank Exorcist.
Just like an apprentice exorcist, a Yellow Rank exorcist needs to complete assessment missions to be promoted to the Xuan Rank.
Besides.
Huang Jie exorcism, there are five years of grace period.
Any Huangjie exorcist can refrain from participating in the assessment for five years, quietly accumulating strength. Only when the five years expire will the assessment be forcibly executed.
Having succeeded, I was naturally promoted to the Xuanjie demon slayer.
But if you fail, bad luck will naturally lead to death. If you're lucky enough to survive, the next mission will still be an assessment task.
That's it.
The Demonic Suppression Division displayed sufficient coldness and ruthlessness.
>
However, under normal circumstances, the Demon Suppression Bureau would not forcibly require Yellow-Rank demon hunters to participate in assessment missions before the five-year term is up.
As for what constitutes abnormal, Shen Changqing couldn't say.
Get up and leave the bedroom.
Shen Changqing found Shi Qingsheng: “Master Shi, please draft a notice and post it immediately to explain what happened to the Zhang family yesterday.”
The Zhang family was plagued by demons and their house was completely burned down.
For the common people of Lin'an City, this was a major event, so the government also had to provide a reasonable explanation in order to appease them.
At the same time.
Shen Changqing also went to the study and began to write down about the Zhang family's affairs, then sent them back to the Zhenmo Division.
If we only eradicated the Zhang family, there's no need to report it to the Demon Suppression Bureau.
But.
The Zhang family is the stronghold of the Eternal Life Alliance in Lin'an City. Matters concerning strongholds of the Eternal Life Alliance can be big or small.
> For safety's sake.
Shen Changqing still decided to send the message back.
In the letter, he wrote everything down truthfully.
But regarding Zhangjia Yao Ren's abilities, there wasn't a full reveal.
After finishing.
Shen Changqing changed into civilian clothes and went to Yongfu Pawn Shop. He handed the letter to Situ Bei, asking him to relay the message back to the Zhen Mo Division through the Celestial Observation Guard.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At the same time.
The notice board at the government office, it was officially posted up.
Suddenly.
Then many people gathered around, discussing the announcement in hushed tones.
"Does anyone know the characters, could you help interpret them"
"It's a pity that the Zhang family was exterminated by demons, isn't it"
“Indeed, I was just chatting with Zhang the butler a few days ago. I never expected that in just a few days, he would be gone…”
The onlookers all shook their heads and sighed.
Some are related to the Zhang family, while others are simply lamentations about the fragility of human life.
"Was the Zhang family exterminated by demons only yesterday"
In the crowd, Cui Cheng looked at the posted notice, his brow furrowed slightly.
He originally thought it was the Zhang family colluding with demons, and then Shen Changqing killed a demon light. But now looking at the content posted on the notice, it seems more like the Zhang family was suddenly exterminated by demons, and then the yamen received the news and rushed over to eradicate the demons.
The content of the announcement looks reasonable and well-written.
In Cui Cheng's eyes, however, it was riddled with flaws.
As early as when Shen Changqing assembled his people, it was clear that Zhang's family had been a stronghold of the Everlasting Alliance for quite some time.
>
If the Zhang family had not colluded with demons, they should have died at the hands of demons long ago.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But the discussions among ordinary people nearby overturned the assumption that the Zhang family had already been wiped out.
It wasn't just Cui Cheng who was puzzled.
Zhao Yue, who was beside him, also had a lot of confusion on her face.
"Senior Brother, the Zhang family wasn't colluding with demons; they were just wiped out by demons not long ago" She tilted her head to look at her senior brother, meeting Cui Cheng's grave expression.
"It's hard to say!"
Cui Cheng shook his head, he was also at a loss now.
"Let's leave first and talk later!"
She pulled Zhao Yue away.
Other commoners were still gathered around the notice, discussing it among themselves.
The inner hall.
Just as Shen Changqing had sat down, Cui Cheng and the two arrived to pay a visit.
"How did you two come here"
"Master Shen, I wanted to ask about the Zhang family..." Cui Cheng blurted out, but halfway through his sentence, he didn't know how to continue.
"Please have a seat!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing gave a slight nod with his eyes.
Two people clasped their fists: "Greetings, Lord Shen!"
That's all.
Each person took their respective seats.
Shen Changqing looked at the two people, his expression calm: "You two came here because of the notice posted by the government office, right If you have any questions, feel free to ask, there's no need to beat around the bush."
"In that case, I shall be direct!"
Then Cui Cheng bowed and asked, voicing his inner doubts.
Yesterday, when I heard what Mr. Shen said, it seemed like the Zhang family had been a base for the Eternal Life Alliance for some time. But according to the notice from the government office, the Zhang family didn't seem like a base at all. Instead, they appeared to be a family that had just been attacked by demons.
What's going on here
"The Zhang family was indeed a stronghold of the Eternal Alliance, but they did not collude with demons. In fact, the Zhang family was exterminated by the demon cultivators of the Eternal Alliance long ago."
Shen Changqing finished speaking.
After a brief pause, he changed the subject again and asked a question.
"I wonder if the Zhanyue Sword Sect has ever heard of Corpse Puppets"
"Corpse Puppet!"
Cui Cheng was puzzled for a moment, but then he remembered something, his expression immediately changing.
“Shen Da Ren is saying that the Zhang family people were all refined into corpse puppets!”f going astray is essentially nonexistent.Just that.The Way has no end.Each time he goes through this process of reflection, Shen Changqing gains different insights. One could say that preaching benef...
