Chapter 166: Belted with Ten Thousand Years, Heading to Jingcheng

【In the 236th year, you did not truly intend to erase the lingering resentment of the Flood Demon and the Mountain Lord, but merely used this to observe the changes of Yin and Yang. You had already perfected the True Meaning of the Two Instruments, yet the Yin-Yang fish slowly circulating on the phantom of the Dao Sword quietly transformed into a dragon and a tiger.】

【In the 272nd year, under the explanation and guidance of the Fox Demon of Qingqiu, the realization in your mind grew increasingly clear. Finally, it released the Mountain Lord and the Flood Demon. The Two Instruments Dao Sword returned to its original form, and you slowly closed your eyes. In the next moment, the dragon's roar and tiger's howl emanating from the Dao Sword resounded throughout the heavens.】

【Condensing the Core: True Meaning of the Two Instruments Dragon and Tiger】

The prompt appearing on the panel was not a new martial art, but a supreme technique similar to the Demon-Slaying Zhengyang Blade, with no division of proficiency levels.

Numerous realizations surged into the mind.

After absorbing them completely, a hint of surprise welled up in Shen Yi's eyes.

In just over two hundred years, the fox demon had allowed the secret martial arts of the White Cloud Temple to ascend another step. Although it had the help of the Flood Lord and the Mountain Lord, it was enough to demonstrate the other's vast learning, and yet it was merely a disciple of Qingqiu.

Thinking of himself, let alone creating martial arts, it had taken him over twelve hundred years just to cultivate the True Meaning of the Two Instruments to perfection.

This time, he had truly picked up a treasure.

The slight change in the young man's expression made Lin Baiwei look at him curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel this small pouch is quite exquisite." Shen Yi shook his head and made up an excuse.

"After all, they are a demon clan that dominates a region, with deep foundations, not comparable to our Outside Qingzhou." After Lin Baiwei finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and smiled lightly: "I want to go home to accompany my father. Do you want to come for a simple meal? He very much wants to thank you in person for saving me."

"Next time. I plan to return to Outside Qingzhou City as soon as possible." Shen Yi politely declined the kindness. He was about to contact the Core Condensation Method, and just happened to have gained such abundant demon lifespan. Recalling Jiang Qiulan's warning last time, he decided to first completely complete the Sun-Melting Precious Furnace.

Hearing this, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in Lin Baiwei's eyes, but she still held a smile: "Then alright. When you return from Jingcheng, I will cook something delicious for you again."

"Mm." Shen Yi nodded slightly, watching the other person leave.

He then continued to channel the demon lifespan into the Wind and Thunder Sun-Melting Classic. Facing such pure martial artist internal energy, the demon treasure crystals were of no use.

Fortunately, he had made a small fortune.

There were still forty-nine major acupoints remaining. In the face of over ten thousand years of lifespan, they were simply pushed through in one go, with absolutely no obstacles.

【In the 52nd year, you once again connected with a new major acupoint...】

A series of similar prompts emerged.

As the dark red meridians within the body grew wider and wider, all the acupoints throughout the entire body were finally connected together.

In an instant, Shen Yi felt himself transform into a tightly sealed precious furnace. The mighty suppressing power far exceeded the previous level, and it no longer swept over the Qi Sea repeatedly in the form of scalding white mist, but filled the entire body like a barrier.

He didn't even need to actively control it to make the Heavenly Demon External Pill behave obediently like a rabbit.

Carefully sensing the changes in his body, Shen Yi gradually calmed his mind.

Although it now seemed that over two thousand years of demon lifespan, used just to suppress a single external pill, was a bit of a loss.

But since he had been cultivating demon martial arts all along, he inevitably picked up some strange things. With this suppressing power as a safety net, it was worth buying peace of mind.

【Remaining Demon Lifespan: Ten Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Five Years】

Looking at this string of numbers, Shen Yi felt like a poor man suddenly becoming rich, completely unsure how to spend it.

Since crossing over until now, when had he ever fought such a wealthy battle?

Once he got the Sky-Devouring Dan Shi, forget about condensing the core or embracing the core; he would first make the Slain Hunyuan Sect taste the saltiness.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi became even more eager for this trip to Jingcheng. He took out the fox demon's inner pill, swallowed it, and directly brought the Heavenly Demon External Pill to full perfection. He then stepped out of the door.

He Zhen and Liu Yuquan were waiting on the street holding a crimson handsome horse. Compared to General Shen, their moods were much heavier.

The main issue was how to write this report document?

The two exchanged a glance and still firmly stood on the side of their own great general.

Outside Qingzhou City, the Regional Commander's Mansion.

Jiang Yuanhua kept his eyes tightly closed, his expression calm. Only the hand holding the document was slightly tense, exposing his true inner emotions.

The description on the document was extremely concise, containing only one sentence.

"Under General Shen's reminder, the fox demon still dared to show weapons, attempting to resist stubbornly, and was conveniently eliminated by General Shen..."

He opened his eyes and looked at the fox demon corpse held by the two personal assistant generals.

They had even stripped the clothes clean off.

Jiang Yuanhua's voice was indifferent: "Do you know this fox demon is from Qingqiu?"

Liu Yuquan did not look aside: "I know."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanhua slowly put down the document, withdrew his gaze: "Then what are you still waiting for? Go quickly and dispose of the body."

A fox from Qingqiu died within the jurisdiction of the Great Qian Dynasty. The specific level of trouble this matter would cause depended on whether Qingqiu could remember that a disciple was missing.

Even as a provincial Regional Commander, he would feel a bit of a headache.

After the two personal assistant generals left the courtyard.

The Regional Commander sighed, rubbed his temples hard, and looked at the expressionless Chen Qiankun: "Why didn't you remind me?"

Chen Qiankun had witnessed Shen Yi's mysterious teleportation movement technique. He did not think the fox demon itself could pose any threat to the young man, but he also did not expect Shen Yi truly had the ability to take things to the extreme.

However, facing the Regional Commander's questioning, the old man's expression remained normal. He only looked back in confusion: "I do not know what you want me to remind you of? A Demon-Suppressing General killing a fox demon with perfected Core Condensation is the most normal thing... or does the Regional Commander regret it and dare not take this trouble for General Shen?"

"Don't use words to block me. Jiang Mou does not have the habit of going back on his word."

Jiang Yuanhua adjusted his breathing; this old man was clearly trying to provoke him on purpose.

If this matter were exposed, relying on a little favor would not solve the problem. Preparations for action must be made in advance...

Was this him testing Shen Yi's strength, or was Shen Yi testing this Regional Commander's ability to endure?

"..."

The conversation outside the courtyard was too loud, obviously affecting the two women inside the room.

A fleeting arc rose on Jiang Qiulan's lips, but before the Ji Wang Fei opposite could even see it, she returned to her calm demeanor.

The Ji Wang Fei had originally planned to use five days to observe this sharpest sword of Outside Qingzhou.

Now, only two and a half days had passed, and she felt there was no need to continue watching. Whether in personality or appearance, she was one of the best in the Great Qian. Moreover, the other party would most likely become a Slain Hunyuan Sect Shen Zongshi.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, a Slain Hunyuan Sect Shen Zongshi was the most sought-after existence. Even the royal family had to treat them with courtesy. In other words, after the other party broke through, their status and position would undergo earth-shaking changes, and there would be no reason to pay any attention to the Ji Wang Fu.

"Qiulan, since your colleague has already returned, if you have nothing else, why not set off back to the capital right now?"
