Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 1056: Chapter 671: The First Campaign of General Nanyang 2

To assimilate this object, whether it be the Bodhi Sect or the Three Immortals Sect, a massive quantity of Heaven and Earth Treasures would be needed to stabilize the divine soul, coupled with the aid from elders at their side, doing their utmost to minimize the risks of undergoing the Heart Tribulation.

But Shen Yi was different.

He was skilled in alchemy, particularly adept at infusing tribulation power into elixirs, which may result in some losses, but wins in simplicity and convenience.

He casually selected an ordinary elixir that aids in cultivating the Taixu Daoist Technique from the Elixir Books he had perused.

Indeed, the ingredients for refining a Tribulation Pill were precious, but such common Heaven and Earth Treasures were in no shortage considering the heritage of Shenxu Mountain.

Shen Yi, upon his departure, didn’t care whether they were useful or not, and simply grabbed a handful and left.

At this moment, he took out the Pill Furnace and summoned the flame for alchemy.

Alchemy was ostensibly a thing of beauty, but in Shen Yi’s hands, it became somewhat eerie.

The identical motions, endlessly repeated.

Even the arc traced by his fingertips each time was exact to the millimeter.

After repeating this for more than ten days and nights, the Golden Pill was finally infused into each batch of elixirs.

Shen Yi grabbed a handful and chewed them in his mouth.

Simultaneously, he opened his panel to aid in the digestion.

The hundred-trial Golden Pill, approximately more than eighty trials had entered the Azure Wood within his body, the Moon Plate becoming more abundant, the intricately patterned Dao Fruit gradually taking shape.

"One hundred and forty-seven trials."

Shen Yi silently calculated the changes, only over forty trials away from fully harvesting the Taixu Dao Fruit.

And at this moment, he finally began to understand the specific utilities of this top-ten-ranked Dao Fruit.

Roaming in the Taixu, with no fixed form.

As if completely blending into a separate nothingness, transcending this world and heaven.

[Fifth Grade. Taixu Daoist Technique: Major Accomplishment]

Shen Yi lowered his gaze and slowly reached out his hand, his fair fingertips gently entering his chest, feeling nothing solid.

He probably understood the function of this technique, but was not yet quite familiar with it.

Shen Yi had not much time to ponder.

Just then, a Jade Slip that had been placed on the stone table several days ago by the emissaries from the Government Office suddenly started to flicker.

With a wave of his hand, the Jade Slip disappeared into thin air, not through a Blinding Technique, but by actually leaving this realm, no longer possessing any trace of presence.

When it reappeared, the Jade Slip was lying quietly in Shen Yi’s palm.

...

In West Mountain Prefecture, within a remote county town.

Two brothers, one tall and one short, had fair complexions like jade and shared a seven-point resemblance.

Both put down the Jade Slips in their hands and looked toward a buxom woman in a black dress with a fair waist: "Madam, we have informed the General."

The Zhao brothers, newly transferred from another place, had scarcely arrived when they heard the news of a branch of the Great Nan Continent’s Demon Slayer Bureau.

Despite feeling a little disoriented on the inside, the only consolation was that their direct superior, known as Jiang Mei, was a surviving Demon Slayer Officer from the previous debacle at Jade Pond Immortal Sect; even if she was to lead them, they could still barely maintain the stability of West Mountain Prefecture.

"Cough cough."

Jiang Mei covered her mouth with her hand, her complexion looking somewhat unwell, clearly still recovering from serious injuries: "When will General Wushan arrive?"

"General Wushan?" The brothers were taken aback for a moment, replying hesitantly, "Isn’t our West Mountain Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the newly appointed General Nanyang?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mei’s face turned even paler. She turned back and stared emotionlessly at them for a long while before exhaling deeply: "You are also aware that he’s newly appointed? Do you not realize how troublesome this matter is?"

"Send the message again!"

Jiang Mei helplessly withdrew her gaze, leading the two toward the county seat.

The brothers hurriedly passed the message to General Wushan and then quickly followed the woman.

Upon entering the County Government, they saw a court official smilingly seeing off a Monk.

Jiang Mei passed by without a sideways glance, and the brothers did not show any irregularities either.

When Demon Slayer Bureau took action, they usually did so in the capacity of a court official, but to prevent being discerned by others as different, it was common to be reticent and focussed solely on the task at hand.

"Master Zhi Kong, with the county so busy, I won’t see you out."

"Thank you for the Divine Dynasty’s understanding. Once this humble monk and the elders from my sect recover the stolen item, we will certainly assist the Divine Dynasty in eradicating evil."

Monk Zhi Kong bowed sincerely and gave a polite smile to the other three before turning to leave the County Government.

"Hmph!"

Only after the monk had departed did Jiang Mei let out a cold snort.

Ever since the Ape Demon from Jade Pond Immortal Sect wreaked havoc everywhere, and the Imperial Court was slow to respond, other Great Demons also started to get ideas.

An Evil Flood Dragon at the Heavenly Immortal Perfect Realm, while naturally not as powerful as the Three-eyed Black Ape, differed in that it was not a mount of an Immortal.

It was a bona fide Great Demon who had seized a mountain for its throne.

This trip was to steal the Human Emperor Qi amidst the chaos, thus, it brought its entire family and all the demon soldiers and Demon Generals along.

Under normal circumstances, the Imperial Court would handle Little Demons, while the Demon Slayer Bureau dealt with the bigger ones, which would usually be quickly and easily resolved.

But complications arose from her injuries, and then a band of baldies from the Bodhi Sect got involved and caused trouble!

"What they call a stolen item, if my guess is right, is it another Fruit Position Great Scripture?"

Jiang Mei’s eyes filled with even colder intent. If the Bodhi Sect was so impoverished that the Scripture Pavilion was falling apart, they could have simply asked, and the Divine Dynasty would have funded their repairs.

How many times had such precious items been lost in such a short time?

Continuously losing them, yet sending people to search.

Are they truly looking for the Fruit Position Great Scripture, or are they "accidentally" finding those who have unintentionally picked up this scripture and cultivated some results from it as exceptionally talented individuals?

It was clear that they were secretly transmitting teachings within the Divine Dynasty; their intentions were punishable!

"What did General Wushan say?"
