Chapter 155: You Get Up, Let Him Sit
Chapter 155: You Get Up, Let Him Sit
What can I exchange it for?
Jiang Chengyun panted heavily several times, then suddenly looked down at the little girl, "Grandma, why don't you get up and let him sit?"
Aqian stretched out her palm, pretending to hit him, "..."
She picked up the brush again, dipped it in thick ink, and stared at the document, completely unsure where to begin.
She really wanted to ask Shen Yi how he did it, but following orders without question, all matters did not require reporting to higher-ups, and this was one of the few ironclad rules for demon hunters.
Clearly, Shen Yi had no intention of chatting further.
The other demon hunters stared at the demon essence blood floating in the air, even feeling like they were dreaming.
At least this shock was within their comprehension.
But the scene before them was completely incomprehensible.
The death of a Core Formation Realm demon represented something similar to the previous fall of the Demon-Suppressing Commander in Jade Mountain Prefecture. It was a major event that would shake all of Qingzhou, an impact comparable to waking up one day and learning that the Li family of Qingzhou had vanished...
Aqian pinched her fingertips, silently calculating something, "Three times... six times... ten times..."
Seeing that the other party was going to continue calculating, Jiang Chengyun quietly reminded her, "Qingzhou's demon hunters don't have that many quotas."
"..." Aqian raised her eyes to look at the youth, sighing, "Are you planning to cultivate the Embryo Nourishing Yin Godly Body?"
"No," Shen Yi shook his head.
Compared to the Yin Godly Body, he preferred having a powerful physique, which could also complement the Immortal-Demon Nine Transformations.
"Then ten times should be enough. How about exchanging the remaining merit points for a magical artifact that can guard an entire prefecture?"
Aqian remembered the boast she had made earlier, that as long as the other party had enough merit points, the Great Qian Dynasty could provide anything.
Now it seemed... not quite enough.
Mainly because it was too fast.
The precious opportunity to temper at the Martial Temple had a fixed quota for each prefecture.
Ten tempering sessions at once, and any talented genius with good aptitude would most likely be forcibly pushed to the Core Formation Perfection Warrior realm. There was no way such a reward could be unlimited.
"I also want a Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring," Shen Yi nodded, he actually didn't quite understand how the merit points and rewards were calculated, but he figured the more he could get, the better.
"Heaven Devouring Pill Devouring?" Aqian was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief.
At least... with Jiang Qiulan added, the whole matter seemed much more reasonable than before.
"This is one of the most powerful Core Formation Techniques in the Great Qian Dynasty. With this, it should be enough."
She nodded, noting down the required items on the document, "Alright, go back now. We were supposed to wait for the demon hunters from the capital to deliver it, but in your case, it's better not to trouble them. Go back and prepare, you'll set off for the capital in about half a month. I'll have Chengyun notify you when the time comes... Don't go running around during this time."
"At least let the Commander meet the person first..."
"Let me digest it first."
Aqian leaned on Jiang Chengyun's leg, massaging her temples.
Even if the Core Formation Realm White Deer was related to Jiang Qiulan, those several Core Formation Perfection demons were definitely killed by Shen Yi. What had happened during his trip away from Qingzhou City?
"..."
She had originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Shen Yi suddenly realized that the gaze Jiang Chengyun was giving him was strange.
Forget it, I'll ask on the road.
He knew that offering so much demon essence blood at once would have a huge psychological impact on others.
But Shen Yi was also well aware of the current situation in Qingzhou.
With the Demon King lurking outside and the Minor Demon King on the verge of a breakthrough, the seemingly stable yet fragile situation would be shattered in an instant when the two Demon Kings gathered.
When that time comes, if he could possess sufficient strength...
Since the sixth transformation can capture a White Deer Demon at the Embryo Realm, why not imprison a true Demon King within himself during the ninth transformation?
This thought flashed through Shen Yi's mind.
He even found the idea a bit far-fetched.
"Farewell, everyone."
He bid farewell to Aunt Qian and her companion, then turned and left the attic.
Leaving behind a group of bewildered demon hunters.
...
Demon Subjugation Bureau's Branch Residence.
Upon returning to his room, Shen Yi noticed that there were still very few people passing by nearby.
Most of the captains seemed to have been dispatched elsewhere.
He went back to his room, took out the unused Dragon Core, a pill that could replenish fifty percent of his Celestial Demon Outer Pill.
He replenished his cultivation to eighty-five percent with the pill.
Then, he put the completely depleted Dragon Core into his mouth, using up a year of his demonic lifespan to absorb its impurities.
【In the first year, you consume a depleted Dragon Core, transforming its impure bloodline essence for your own use, thus enhancing your Dragonfiend Power】
【Condensing Core. Dragonfiend Power】
"Oh."
Shen Yi had intended to swallow it casually, not wanting to waste it.
Unexpectedly, he gained some benefits.
Even with the support of the Immortal-Demon Sixth Metamorphosis, the Dragonfiend Power at the Condensing Core level could only slightly increase its power, but it was still better than nothing.
He returned the remaining Dragon Cores to the Silver Bell.
Shen Yi stood up to boil some water, then silently watched as the boiling water cooled down.
He poured himself a cup of warm water and took a sip.
The increase in cultivation was not entirely a good thing; for example, after killing demons previously, he would feel exhausted and fall asleep immediately.
But now, his energy seemed inexhaustible...
It seemed that Zhang the Butcher, Fang Heng, and the Li siblings had all left Qingzhou City.
Shen Yi finally had the opportunity to rest as he wished, but for the first time, he felt a bit bored.
"..."
Just then, a timid voice came from outside the house.
"Excuse me, sir, do you have any clothes that need washing?"
Wen Jing stood in the courtyard, looking at the dimly lit door.
She had been earning some copper coins by washing clothes for the captains, but lately, the captains seemed very busy and rarely stayed in their residences.
After a long time, she finally saw a lit door, and even though it was late at night, she gathered her courage to come and ask.
"..."
Shen Yi took the bloodstained Savage Wolf Cloak from the Silver Bell, opened the door, and handed over the clothes, saying casually, "Where's your brother? Why are you running around so late?"
Chen Jinyu looked up at the youth before her, his face still as handsome as she remembered, but now wearing the Demon Subjugation Bureau's cinnabar robe, he seemed even more stern: "Lord... Lord Shen?"
Although they both called him "Lord," it was clear that she was referring to the Baiyun County Inspector.
Realizing that he was asking a question, Chen Jinyu hurriedly replied, "My brother is still practicing martial arts. I had some free time, so I secretly cooked some food to nourish my brother and Brother Niu's bodies."
"What did you cook?" Shen Yi walked towards the courtyard.
"It's... Goji Chicken Soup, almost done."
Perhaps it was because she had come from Baiyun County to Qingzhou and had seen too many people she had never imagined meeting before.
There was less cleverness and more timidity in Chen Jinyu's eyes.
"Let's go, I'll join you for a meal." Shen Yi nodded.
Hearing these familiar words, the previous sense of strangeness dissipated.
Wen Jing was slightly startled, then her expression brightened with a smile, and she nodded vigorously, her voice crisp:
"Yes! My brother misses you too!"
