“Holy crap!” x2
The two Yellow-tier Demon Quellers in Fushan City stared at Gu Yuan, who burst out of the explosion, their mouths agape. At this moment, their desire to increase their strength reached its peak.
“Damn Demon Quellers, I didn’t expect them to be so strong!”
On the rooftop of a nearby civilian house, a figure in a black robe stomped their foot, an angry voice echoing. Looking at Gu Yuan, who was flanked by two Yellow-tier Demon Quellers, their blood-red pupils contained killing intent.
Gu Yuan, a Black-tier Demon Queller, is very good. The great evil god has noticed you!
With a cold snort, the black-clothed figure left without looking back. Since the plan failed and even the pet诡 (gui) was killed, there was no need to stay here.
With a few leaps, the figure disappeared into the night.
Gu Yuan, who was talking with the two, suddenly had a feeling, turned his head to look at the spot where the black-clothed man had stood, and the sense of being watched slowly disappeared. Gu Yuan smiled, realizing that there was a bigger fish behind this case, and he didn’t know when it would be exposed.
It’s probably those cultists. Report it to the higher-ups and let them worry about it. All I can do is kill demons and evil spirits!
Gu Yuan left the scene with the two Yellow-tier Demon Quellers, rented a room, and planned to leave after dawn.
The night passed without incident, and Gu Yuan spent it cultivating.
The next morning.
Gu Yuan bid farewell to the two Yellow-tier Demon Quellers of Fushan City, mounted his steed, and galloped towards the capital.
This mission took Gu Yuan two to three days. He planned to submit his mission upon his return and use the earned contribution points to exchange for resources. After consuming the resources, he would accept another mission.
In half a day, Gu Yuan arrived at the headquarters of the Demon Quelling Department in the capital around noon.
After returning his horse, Gu Yuan immediately headed to the mission hall.
Mission Hall.
The mission hall was still bustling with people, a lively scene. Gu Yuan, dusty and travel-worn, arrived.
He went to the counter for submitting missions. Since there were many people, Gu Yuan had to queue up at the back and wait patiently.
After about ten minutes, everyone in front of Gu Yuan had completed their missions, and it was Gu Yuan’s turn.
Gu Yuan stepped forward directly and placed his jade pendant and mission on the counter.
“Esteemed Demon Queller, which mission are you submitting?”
The young man behind the counter looked up at Gu Yuan and began to inquire about the mission he had completed.
He needed to verify it, and if the verification was successful, the mission would be considered complete.
For missions like Gu Yuan’s, it was usually reported by the local Fushan City yamen and the Demon Quelling Department together, on whether the mission had been resolved.
Later, a specialized Demon Queller would be sent to check if the mission was completed. If it was completed, it was fine. If it was not completed but falsely reported, the person would be directly thrown into prison and their cultivation abolished.
Generally, no one dared to falsely report a mission.
“Hello, my mission is to [Slay the vengeful诡 (gui) transformed from the merchant’s concubine].”
The young man nodded. Just as he turned around, he asked again, “Is it the one in Fushan City?”
Gu Yuan nodded.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
The young man said, turned around, and began to look up the reported mission.
A moment later, the young man took out a file and placed it in front of Gu Yuan.
He said, “Please sign the mission file.”
Gu Yuan took the pen and signed his Demon Queller code name and name on the file.
After signing, he returned it to the young man, who took it and stamped it with the exclusive seal of the Demon Quelling Department.
Thus, Gu Yuan’s mission was completed. If nothing unexpected happened, Gu Yuan would go through this type of mission many more times.
“Please present your token,” the young man said softly.
Gu Yuan handed his token to the young man. The young man took out a black token, scanned it against Gu Yuan’s Demon Queller token, and then returned the token to Gu Yuan.
After receiving it, Gu Yuan heard the young man say, “The contribution points for the mission reward have been transferred to your token. You can check them yourself.”
Gu Yuan nodded, took his jade pendant, and left the counter, heading to another area.
Next, he was going to exchange for Qi and Blood Pills to improve his Qi and Blood and speed up its accumulation.
According to the price of one contribution point per Qi and Blood Pill, Gu Yuan currently had fifteen contribution points. The original price of a Qi and Blood Pill was three contribution points, but as a patrol Demon Queller, he had the benefit of reducing the price to one contribution point.
If not for such good benefits, not many people would be willing to become patrol Demon Quellers.
Not only were there rewards for killing the concubine诡 (gui), but also for killing two new诡 (gui), which were recorded in his token, allowing him to exchange for more contribution points.
Gu Yuan was now going to sell the black powder he obtained from killing the white-clothed concubine. Earlier, it was mentioned that it was a good refining material that could be exchanged for contribution points.
He found the counter for exchanging materials and handed the collected bone powder to the staff. Ten minutes later, Gu Yuan went to the counter for exchanging resources.
His contribution points had also increased to seventeen.
A bottle of bone powder gave him two contribution points, which was not bad. He could exchange them for two Qi and Blood Pills.
Gu Yuan exchanged all fifteen contribution points for Qi and Blood Pills.
He had two contribution points left. Gu Yuan planned to go to the Scripture Repository later to see if he could find any good martial arts techniques.
Since this world could be a place for him to temper his Qi and Blood as a myriad of martial ancestors, there must be something valuable, it just depended on whether Gu Yuan could find it.
Thinking this, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head. These powerful individuals were all riddlers, giving opportunities but being so secretive. He didn’t know why.
He would go back and absorb the Qi and Blood Pills first before worrying about other things.
Gu Yuan quickly left the headquarters of the Demon Quelling Department and headed towards the assigned courtyard.
On the way, Gu Yuan found a carpenter and had him make some furniture to be delivered to his home.
Back at the courtyard, Gu Yuan first cleaned it up, then started to cook. He used the medicinal cuisine provided by the Demon Quelling Department this time.
Every Demon Queller could receive one portion of medicinal cuisine per month, which could provide Qi and Blood cultivation.
One portion of medicinal cuisine could be cooked about three times, which was also a benefit.
After eating the medicinal cuisine, the carpenter had also delivered the furniture Gu Yuan ordered. After placing the furniture, he saw the carpenter off.
Gu Yuan returned to the house and looked at the fifteen Qi and Blood Pills he had brought back, a smile appearing on his lips.
He wondered if these Qi and Blood Pills could push him to the next realm, the Qi and Blood Beacon realm.
Gu Yuan estimated that it wouldn't be enough, perhaps another round would be needed.
He picked up a Qi and Blood Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and as a warm current surged within his body, Gu Yuan closed his eyes and began to circulate the “Extreme Yang Art” to absorb the medicinal power.
Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Demon Quelling Department.
“This Gu Yuan, I want him!”
