The Qingzhou Demon Slayer Department currently has more than 700 demon slayers, among whom there are only a dozen senior demon slayers and only one master-level demon slayer.
Most are mid-level and low-level demon slayers.
Even though Xu Ling, the traveling master, has worked in the Demon Slayer Department for almost twenty years, he is still only an intermediate demon slayer.
He reached the peak of the Inner Qi Realm more than ten years ago and is only one step away from the True Qi Realm.
It's just one step away, but it's like a natural chasm blocking it.
This also resulted in him not being strong enough to complete four-star tasks. Even though he completed hundreds of three-star tasks, he was still unable to be promoted to a senior demon slayer.
In fact, not only Xu Ling, but most of the old demon slayers are also facing the same situation. They are all trapped in the inner Qi realm and cannot break through the true Qi realm.
Logically speaking, anyone who can become an official demon slayer in the Demon Slayer Department is definitely a genius in the Jianghu sect outside.
But this is still not enough.
According to common sense, among a hundred warriors in the Inner Qi Realm, only a few warriors can break through to the True Qi Realm. You can imagine how cruel it is.
As for the innate realm...
Qingzhou's population of nearly 500 million can probably be counted on one hand...
However, these distances are still too far for travel.
Now, his Nine Yang Divine Skill is only at the third level, which is equivalent to the peak of the initial stage of the inner energy realm. He has to practice to the ninth level before he can try to break through the true energy realm.
Of course, due to the bonuses of the Great Ape Demonic Fist, Chiji Fire Shield, and Wild Wind Sword Technique, he can fight across small realms.
After saying goodbye to the pretty girl, Zhou You took his identity token and went to Baibao Tower again.
It was still the same old rule. He first exchanged 20 contribution points for 60 blood-boosting pills. Zhou You did not intend to exchange the remaining 30 contribution points for another martial arts, but planned to continue to exchange for elixirs that could assist in cultivation.
Nowadays, he is quite satisfied with the martial arts he has mastered, and he has no shortcomings yet.
Martial arts is a matter of finesse rather than too much. If you learn too much, it will be bad.
Even if he now has a system plug-in, his martial arts will be practiced on his own.
But in order to satisfy the little tempers of these martial arts, traveling around for a day will also consume a lot of energy.
"Qi Yi Dan: It can slightly increase the speed of cultivation, lasting three hours. It is worth one point of contribution."
"Deer Blood Pill: It allows the user to increase the qi and blood in the body, and also slightly enhances the physical fitness. It is worth a little contribution value."
Zhou You originally wanted to exchange ten of these two elixirs for each, leaving ten contribution points.
However, he soon discovered another kind of elixir.
"Red Fire Pill: It is specially made from various Yang-attribute medicinal materials. For warriors with fire-attribute skills, it can greatly increase the speed of practice. However, if you take too much, it is very likely to accumulate fire poison in the body. It is recommended to use it with caution.
.Worth three contribution points.”
The moment he saw the Red Fire Pills, Zhou You didn't even blink and went directly to the counter to exchange for ten.
"Ten red fire pills?" Upon hearing this number, the old man guarding the counter looked at Zhou You in astonishment.
"Young man, even if you practice fire-attribute skills, you can only take one red fire pill a month at most. Otherwise, if you accumulate too much fire poison in your body, you will go crazy and burn yourself to death." The old man advised kindly.
"I have a sense of propriety in my heart." Zhou You said with a smile.
Is it possible for him to say that his body is actually burned by fire every day?
What's more, there is even more fierce anger from the sun.
It's just a fire poison, Zhou You really doesn't take it to heart.
Seeing Zhou You's unconcerned look, the old man just sighed slightly, deducted 30 points of contribution points, and handed ten red fire pills to Zhou You.
........
The next day.
When the yin and yang of heaven and earth alternate.
Zhou You sat cross-legged in the courtyard, and the Nine Yang Internal Qi in his body began to circulate.
In the Dantian, the Jiuyang internal energy formed wisps of red mist. The breath was as hot as fire and flowed into the meridians. At the same time, red mist also flowed from the meridians into the red lake in the Dantian.
This completes a small weekly cycle.
The golden light at dawn tore through the night like a golden sword, faintly scattered on Zhou You's body.
A wisp of sun fire energy is drawn by the qi machine emitted by the Nine Yang Divine Art and penetrates into the body.
At this time, Zhou You also took out a red pill and swallowed it directly into his stomach.
It's the Red Fire Pill!
The medicinal properties of this elixir were indeed fierce and overbearing. When it fell into the lower abdomen, it seemed to turn into a ball of flaming magma-like liquid, exuding astonishingly high temperatures.
Zhou You's body temperature began to rise rapidly, the skin on his body became like cooked shrimps, and white gas began to emit from his body.
"While the Nine-Yang Divine Art absorbed a ray of sun fire, it also absorbed the power of the Red Fire Pill. I felt very happy and started practicing hard! The training speed increased by 50%!"
"The Chiji Fire Shield also smelled the Red Fire Pill and began to swallow it hard. The cultivation speed increased by 40%!"
Zhou You originally did not have any pressure to absorb the sun's fire energy, but when he added a red fire pill at the same time, the pressure was not small.
Thanks to the cultivation of the Chiji Fire Barrier, I have upgraded to the third level. My meridians have expanded a lot and become more tenacious, so I can barely withstand it.
However, when Zhou You opened the system panel and saw the constantly beating numbers of Jiuyang Divine Art, he felt even more excited and forgot about the pain caused by the burning.
An hour later, Zhou You officially ended his practice.
The progress of practicing the Nine Yang Divine Art has also stopped at the third level (36%).
Just one day of practice has directly improved it by 10%. The power of this red fire pill is really amazing.
You must know that as the level of Jiuyang Divine Skill increases, the speed of cultivation naturally drops a bit, but with this Red Fire Pill, Zhou You's cultivation speed has actually increased!
This red fire pill is also too overbearing in its efficacy, and ordinary warriors dare not take it too much. According to the old man from Baibaolou, you can only take one pill a month, otherwise it will accumulate fire poison, and it will be very easy to go crazy.
Of course, this does not include traveling around.
He didn't even know whether the so-called fire poison was absorbed by the Chiji Fire Barrier or by the Nine Yang Divine Art.
Anyway, for him, eating Red Fire Pill is as easy as eating jelly beans, and there is no such thing as fire poison.
Seven days later.
Along with a violent roar that traveled around Dantian.
The wisps of red mist seemed to become more intense, and the breath became more burning.
The Nine Yang Divine Art has officially broken through to the fourth level!
This also means that Zhou You has reached the middle stage of the inner Qi realm.
Open the system panel.
Host: Zhouyou
Nine Yang Magic: The fourth level (3%) special effects: blazing, endless
Wild Wind Sword Technique: Perfection
Powerful Ape Demonic Fist: Small Success (46%) Special Effect: Violent
