Rage Blood Pill!

Effect: Innate Realm martial artists increase their Qi and Blood by 50% after taking it, while Grandmaster Realm martial artists increase it by 1 to 30%, depending on individual strength. The stronger the Qi and Blood is, the lower the enhancement effect. It lasts for one minute.

Side effects: Effect decline, mild cases of Qi and blood depletion, severe cases of Qi and blood backlash, serious cases could be life-threatening. Required merit: 10

“Rage Blood Pill!”

Seeing the above introduction, Shen Changqing thought of the Violent Blood Pill he bought from Danzong.

The difference is.

The Blood-Staining Pill is not very effective, and it's useless for martial artists at the Grandmaster level.

The current Rage Blood Dan has a much higher upper limit.

Of course.

The lower limit is also equally high.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

From the description above alone, it can be seen that if it is not a congenital realm martial artist who consumes it, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand the power of the medicine.

To have such a pill, it could be quite useful in times of need.

Qi and blood are activated.

It can greatly enhance a martial artist's power in a short period of time.

Even an hour can be a long time, and in a critical moment, it could change everything.

It's just——

Shen Changqing looked at the price above and backed away.

10 points of achievement.

Right now, I only have eighteen points of achievement. If I forcefully exchange them, at most I could only get one item.

Turn to the second page.

It's a brand new elixir again.

Similar to the Rage Blood Pill, this pill is called Zhen Yuan Dan.

The effect is to stimulate the true energy of the dantian, thereby allowing warriors to exert strength far beyond their own.

I took a look at the introduction.

Shen Changqing discovered that Zhenyuan Dan and Nu Xue Dan complemented each other. If both pills were consumed simultaneously, one's strength would increase more comprehensively.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

As for the exchange rate.

...is exactly the same as the Rage Blood Pill.

Obviously, this is something I can't afford to consume again.

Shake one's head.

The more Shen Changqing looked at the list, the more he realized how poor he was.

The exchange list for the Demigod of the Undercity's items has prices starting from ten merit points, and some even require twenty or thirty merit points.

On second thought.

He also thought it was reasonable.

Those who can become floor-clearing demon slayers are all very powerful.

A malicious spirit grants three to five points of merit, while a powerful malignant spirit grants ten to thirty points. The higher the merit given, the higher the exchange price, which is reasonable.

And.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although the items on the list are expensive, they are also very effective.

As he turned the page again, Shen Changqing's hand paused.

Ice Spirit Tea!

Effect: Collected from spiritual tea on glaciers, long-term consumption can neutralize true qi clashes, simultaneously cleansing impurities in both the physical body and true qi, improving the quality of true qi and the strength of the physical body.

Side effects: None Required effort: 0.5

"As expected!"

Upon seeing the Bingling tea, Shen Changqing recalled Jiang Zuo's words, and his heart was already clear.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

According to what they said.

A Xuanjie Exorcist can exchange Ice Spirit Tea for merit points, at a rate of one gram per point. The annual limit is one hundred grams.

That's it for now.

The other option is that 0.5 merit points can be exchanged for one gram, making it half the price. However, the exchange limit has been increased fivefold.

500 grams.

That works out to two hundred and fifty merits.

Generally, whether an ordinary demon slayer could produce this much merit every year, Shen Changqing was unsure. But he knew for certain that he couldn't possibly achieve it.

"Ice Spirit Tea is pretty good for long-term use, but it's too expensive. If you don't use it regularly, the effects aren't that significant. I guess we can talk about it later."

Less than half an hour.

Shen Changqing stood there, slowly flipping through the list.

Because it corresponds to the earth-rank demon slayer, many things above have a considerable effect on the Grand Master.

Of course.

The prices are all high.

After he finished reading the last page, he handed the list back.

Thank you.

Shen Changqing thanked him and then left the Treasure Pavilion.

He currently has no intention of taking on missions. After breaking through to the Grandmaster level, many issues remain unresolved. Taking on missions now would undoubtedly go against his original purpose of returning to the Demon Suppression Division.

Leaving the Demon Slayer Hall.

Shen Changqing originally planned to go to the library.

But.

The moment he walked out of the Slayer Hall, he saw someone standing there waiting for him.

Jiangzuo!

Shen Changqing was almost certain that Jiang Zuo was waiting for him here.

As expected.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When he came out, Jiang Zuo also stepped forward.

"Brother Shen, have you successfully been promoted"

"Not bad."

Seeing Shen Changqing nod in agreement, Jiang Zuo's eyes also held a hint of envy.

"You're probably the fastest-rising demon hunter in the history of the Demon Suppression Division, none come close. I've been with the Demon Suppression Division for almost a decade now, but I'm still stuck at the Xuan rank. In comparison, I'm quite ashamed."

"Brother Jiang's promotion was only a matter of time."

Shen Changqing smiled faintly, he didn't take Jiang Zuo's words seriously either.

Then.

Then he changed the subject.

"Brother Jiang waited here especially, not just to ask if I've been promoted, right"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Being left idle again, Jiangzuo thought to himself, "I've been promoted, but I still have to wait here for the other party to come."

"The Commander summons you. You should go."

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Summoned by the Generalissimo" Shen Changqing was startled: "I don't know which Generalissimo"

“Unsure, you'll know only after going yourself.”

Jiang Zuo shook his head and smiled wryly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“I’m just a messenger, you can go yourself. You’ve been to the council hall before anyway.”

The Hall of Grand Council.

Shen Changqing recalled the places he had been to with Jiang Zuo earlier, and nodded slightly.

He really did go to that place.

"Well, if you don't have anything else to say, just go on. It wouldn't be good to keep the commander waiting too long."

"Thanks for the message, Jiang!"

Shen Changqing clasped his fists together and then headed toward the Hall of Discussion.

>

The Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Though the Slay Demon Hall was some distance away, it wasn't too far. Besides, he had been there once before, so he was familiar with the way.

But.

When he went, Shen Changqing also had some guesses in his heart.

He wasn't sure.

What did the governor-general do in the past

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Is it because of the Meyers incident, or because I broke through to the Grandmaster level in less than three years

Shen Changqing's mind was churning with many thoughts.

Please let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

If it's the former, then there should be more good than bad. But if it's the latter, it's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

Within a short period of time, promoting to the Grandmaster realm will definitely raise suspicions.

That's it.

He also made some preparations.

As Jiang Zu said, one should keep their own secrets to themselves. I suppose even the garrison commanders wouldn't force me to reveal them.

But—

“If they really want me to say it, then they better be ready to face the consequences!”

A flash of coldness crossed Shen Changqing's eyes.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The panel was his greatest hidden talent, something no one could ever speak of. And the panel couldn't be copied, even if someone told others about it, no one would believe them.

That's all I have to say.

He couldn't possibly leak the panel to a second person.

If the Demon Suppression Division doesn't force him to reveal his secrets, that's fine. But if they really do try to force him, Shen Changqing has already made preparations to leave the Demon Suppression Division.

This will be a test.

The world is vast.

The Demon Suppression Division couldn't accommodate me, but there are other places that could.

Anyway, with its current strength, it's basically no problem to protect itself.

If even a grandmaster is not qualified to protect himself, then this world may not be too terrible.

Although the Qin Dynasty is a powerful nation in this world, this world is not just the Qin Dynasty. There are other forces that stand against the Qin Dynasty.

"Well, let's just take a look at the situation first."

Shen Changqing's expression remained unchanged as he continued walking towards the Hall of Deliberations.

It's not certain yet what the Demon Suppression Office's attitude will be, so there's no need to overthink it.

Anyway, he has made up his mind.

If the Demon Suppression Division didn't pressure me, I would stay here peacefully. Although the sect master is not weak, the Demon Suppression Division is a bigger backing. With the Demon Suppression Division behind me, my safety factor would increase significantly, much better than if I struggled alone.

But.

If the Demon Suppression Division is unwilling to be reasonable, then there's nothing left for me to linger over.

When his thoughts shifted, Shen Changqing had already arrived at the gate of the Council Hall.

Just as he was thinking about whether to go straight in, a hazy voice came out from inside.

"Since you're here, come on in!"

The voice is unfamiliar.

Shen Changqing couldn't tell who it was.

There was no hesitation.

He stepped into the grand council hall.

Vision first plunged into darkness, then abruptly shifted to brightness. It was merely the gap of a threshold, yet it felt as though one had entered two entirely different worlds.

Walk forward.

>

Shen Changqing saw the two people sitting above.

One is a completely unfamiliar face. If he doesn't know the other person's identity, he would only think of him as an ordinary elegant scholar.

>

However.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

You can sit here, the other party's identity is self-evident.

Another person's words were that he had once met Zhou Yuan.

Shen Changqing took three steps and made them two, striding forward to greet him with a fist salute.

"The Floor Guardian, Shen Changqing, pays his respects to the two Lords of Guardianship!"

"No need for formalities!"

A gentle voice sounded, the man in the center looking at him with a faint smile on his face.

“You are Shen Changqing, truly a name more impressive in person. I am Dongfang Zhao. You may not have heard of my name, but you certainly know who I am.”

Shen Changqing was silent.

The name Dongfang Zhao was quite unfamiliar to him, but just by looking at their seating arrangements, he could already deduce a great deal.

Both serve as the garrison commander.

Zhou Yuan's status and position were slightly inferior to that of the Eastern Guardian.

While Shen Changqing was deep in thought, Dongfang Zhao's gentle voice once again echoed.

“You needn't be nervous, we brought you here mainly to see you with our own eyes.”
