Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 162 A Wealthy Journey to the Capital City_1

[In the 236th year, you weren't truly trying to erase the remaining grudges of the Jiao Demon and the Mountain Lord, but rather you used this opportunity to observe the changes within Yin and Yang. As for the Dual Polarity True Intent, you had reached completion, yet the Yin Yang Fish that flowed slowly over the shadow of the Dao Sword had now quietly transformed into a dragon and a tiger.]

[In the 272nd year, with the Fox Demon's explanations and guidance in Qingqiu, the realizations in your mind became ever clearer. At last, it set the Mountain Lord and the Jiao Demon free; the Dual Polarity Dao Sword returned to its original form, while you slowly closed your eyes. In the next moment, the sound of dragon's roars and tiger's cries emanating from the Dao Sword echoed through the heavens.]

[Solidifying Pill. Dual Polarity Dragon Tiger True Intent.]

The notification that appeared on the panel was not a new martial art, but a unique skill similar to the Demon-trapping True Sun Sword, which didn't have a proficiency level.

A flood of realizations poured into your mind.

When you had absorbed it completely, a hint of astonishment couldn't help but emerge in Shen Yi's eyes.

In just over two hundred years, the Fox Demon had taken the secret martial arts of Baiyun Temple to the next level. Though the help of Jiao Jun and the Mountain Lord had played a part, it was enough to showcase the other's extensive knowledge, and it was merely a disciple from Qingqiu.

Then there was yourself, not to mention creating martial arts, just practicing the Dual Polarity True Intent to completion took over twelve hundred years.

This time, you had truly stumbled upon a treasure.

There was a slight change in the young man's expression, which made Lin Baiwei, curious, look over: "What's wrong?"]

["It's nothing, I just feel this little pouch is quite exquisite," Shen Yi shook his head, casually finding an excuse.]

["After all, it's the heritage of a demon power that's revered far and wide, not something Qingzhou can compare with," Lin Baiwei finished speaking and seemed to remember something, laughing lightly: "I'm going to return home to keep my father company, do you want to come and have a simple meal? He really wants to thank you in person for saving me."]

["Next time perhaps, I plan to return to Qingzhou City as soon as possible," Shen Yi declined the kind offer, on the verge of encountering the Condensation Elixir Method. And now with such a generous lifespan of demon longevity to harvest, mindful of the reminder from Jiang Qiulan last time, he decided to first completely repair the Sun Melting Furnace.]

Hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment crossed Lin Baiwei's eyes, yet still with a smile she said: "Alright then, when you come back from the capital, I'll cook something tasty for you."]

["Mhm," Shen Yi nodded lightly, watching her depart.]

He continued to channel the demon's longevity into the Wind-Thunder Sun-Melting Manual, for dealing with such pure martial arts internal work, the Demon Crystal was of little use.]

Fortunately, he had come into a small fortune.

There were still forty-nine major acupoints to go, in the face of tens of thousands of years of longevity; it was like being pushed along without any hindrance, with absolutely no obstacles.]

[In the 52nd year, you connected with a new major acupoint again…]

Similar notifications surfaced one after another.]

As the dark red veins within you grew increasingly broad, all the acupoints throughout your body finally connected together.]

In that instant, Shen Yi felt as though he had become an impervious Precious Furnace, the majestic suppressing power exceeded anything previous, not as the blistering white mist that swept through the sea of qi repeatedly, but rather it filled his entire body, like a barrier.]

Even without active control, it could make the Fiendish External Elixir behave as meekly as a rabbit.]

Feeling the changes in his body meticulously, Shen Yi gradually calmed his mind.]

Although it now seemed, thousands of years of demon longevity just for suppressing an Outer Elixir felt somewhat of a loss.]

But having practiced Demonic Martial Arts all along, inevitably picking up some strange things, having this suppressive power as a safety net also bought some peace of mind.]

[Remaining Demon Longevity: 10,735 years]

Looking at this series of numbers, Shen Yi felt like a poor child who had suddenly come into wealth, completely unsure of how to spend it.]

Ever since you crossed over to this world, when have you fought such a wealthy battle?]

When you get your hands on the Heaven-Devouring Elixir, forget Condensing and Embracing the Pill; first turn yourself into a Primordial Grandmaster and taste what it's like.]

Thinking this, Shen Yi looked forward to his trip to the capital even more. He took out the inner core of the Fox Demon and swallowed it, directly replenishing the Fiendish External Elixir to one hundred percent, then stepped outside the house.]

He Zhen and Liu Yuquan waited on the street, leading a red steed, their mood far more somber compared to General Shen's.

The main concern was, how should they write this performance appraisal report?

After exchanging glances, they resolutely stood by their own Commander-in-Chief.

...

In Qingzhou City, at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.

Jiang Yuanhua sat with his eyes tightly closed, his expression calm, but the slight force with which he clutched the document betrayed his true inner emotions.

The description on the document was extremely brief, consisting of only one sentence.

"Upon General Shen's warning, the Fox Demon dared to draw its blade and attempted to resist stubbornly. It was conveniently eliminated by General Shen..."

Opening his eyes, he looked at the corpse of the Fox Demon, held by the hands of two Personal Adjutant Generals.

They had even stripped the clothes off its body.

Jiang Yuanhua spoke indifferently, "Do you know that this Fox Demon came from Qingqiu?"

Liu Yuquan didn't look away, "We know."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanhua slowly placed the document down and retracted his gaze, "Then what are you waiting for? Get rid of the corpse quickly."

A fox from Qingqiu, dying within the jurisdiction of the Great Qian Dynasty, the extent of trouble this could cause depended on whether Qingqiu would remember they had a disciple go missing.

Even as a provincial General, he felt a bit of a headache.

After the two Personal Adjutant Generals left the courtyard,

The General heaved a sigh and rubbed his temples vigorously, looking at Chen Qiankun, whose face was devoid of expression, "Why didn't you remind me?"

Chen Qiankun had witnessed Shen Yi's mysterious movement skills and did not think the Fox Demon had the capacity to threaten the young man, but he also didn't expect Shen Yi to truly have the capability to deal with the matter so decisively.

However, faced with the General's questioning, the old master's demeanor remained unchanged, exchanging only a puzzled glance, "I do not know what I should remind you of? It is nothing out of the ordinary for a Demon-suppression Great General to slay a Fox Demon at the peak of Condensation Elixir Completion... or is it that the venerable General now regrets it, afraid to take on this trouble for General Shen?"

"Don't try to shut me up with words, Jiang has yet to develop the habit of breaking promises."

Jiang Yuanhua regulated his breathing; clearly, the old man was intentionally provoking him.

If this incident were exposed, he feared that a thin veil of reputation might not solve the problem; preparations for retaliation had to be made in advance...

Was he testing Shen Yi's strength, or was Shen Yi testing his, the General's, capacity to bear this burden?

"..."

The conversation outside was too loud, obviously disturbing the two women inside.

Jiang Qiu Lan's lips briefly curled into an elusive smile, unseen by Consort Ji opposite her, before returning to a calm facade.

Consort Ji had originally planned to spend five days observing this sharpest sword of Qingzhou.

Now, after just two and a half days, she felt there was no need to continue, as the other's character and beauty were amongst the best in the Great Qian, not to mention that she would likely become a Primordial Grandmaster.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, Primordial Grandmasters were the most sought-after individuals, treated with respect even by the royal family. In other words, once her breakthrough was made, her status would undergo a monumental change, rendering her without reason to pay heed to Ji Mansion any longer.

"Qiu Lan, since your colleague has already returned, if there's nothing else, why not set off back to the Capital City immediately?"
