Returning to the tour in the courtyard, he took out a red pill the size of a longan from the white jade vial.
After smelling it, it also had a strange fragrance.
Gulu.
Swallow it in one gulp.
The blood-tonifying pill slid down the throat into the intestines and stomach, and a stream of pure essence began to escape.
Then his flesh and blood seemed to be awakened, like the reincarnation of an evil ghost, frantically absorbing this essence, which can be said to be unbearable hunger and thirst.
When this energy dissipated, Zhou You felt that every inch of his flesh and blood was sending signals of hunger and thirst to him, as if he had not eaten enough.
"It seems that my body's level of overdraft is higher than the martial arts instructor imagined..." Zhou You thought for a while and took another blood-replenishing pill.
According to Wu Yue's thinking model, Zhou You was just practicing the Red Fire Heart Technique for a few days, and his body would not be so depleted.
But Zhou You knew in his heart that what he was practicing now was the Nine-Yang Divine Art, which was too overbearing.
When the blood-replenishing pill was completely consumed, a sense of satisfaction surged from deep within my heart.
"Nine Yang Divine Art absorbs a large amount of essence, makes you feel happy, and increases your cultivation speed by 20%."
When Zhou You heard the voice in his head, his face showed a hint of joy, but he also realized a problem.
That is cultivation resources.
Simply relying on blood food to supplement nutrition is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
I can only rely on the power of elixirs.
Not only can it quickly replenish the energy and blood consumed by internal energy cultivation, but it can also speed up the practice.
But these elixirs must be redeemed in the Demon Slayer Division based on contribution points.
In the Demon Slayer Division, contribution points are the most valuable thing.
Not only can it be exchanged for panaceas, but even magical weapons and martial arts secrets need to be exchanged for contribution points.
The easiest way to obtain contribution points is to complete the tasks issued by the Demon Slayer Division.
"Now I need to consume two blood-replenishing pills a day, which can only last for four more days. It seems that I have to accept the task and earn some contribution points." Zhou You thought to himself.
With that in mind, he headed to the North District of the Demon Slayer Division.
He first went to the Baibao Building to check it out. This was the place where contribution points were redeemed.
I found that one point of contribution can be exchanged for three blood-enhancing pills.
Now that he had ten contribution points, Zhou You simply exchanged them all for blood-replenishing pills.
These thirty blood-replenishing pills can only support his cultivation for half a month.
And as the Nine Yang Divine Art improves, more energy and blood will definitely be consumed.
What's more, he will definitely have to practice other martial arts in the future, and Zhou You suddenly feels a lot of pressure.
The Hall of Stars is where the Demon Slayer releases tasks, and tasks are also divided into levels.
According to the degree of danger, it is divided into five stars.
The most dangerous ones are the five-star missions, while the one-star missions are the easiest.
According to regulations, trainee demon slayers can only accept two-star missions at most.
Stepping into the Feixing Hall, the ground is paved with bluestone bricks, and the four large white jade pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes are magnificent.
There were a lot of people, but it was surprisingly quiet, without any noise.
Zhou You even vaguely smelled the smell of blood.
"Hello, I'd like to see if there are any tasks suitable for me."
Zhou You came to a counter and showed his identity token.
Behind the counter was a pretty girl. She nodded and said, "Is this your first time here to take on a mission? If you don't understand anything, I can explain it to you."
The jade token of a trainee slayer is made of sapphire, while the token of an official slayer is made of jade. The difference can be seen at a glance.
"Okay." Zhou You nodded slightly.
"The tasks issued by our Tianxing Palace are basically divided into two types. One is the demon elimination task, which is basically to deal with the strange monsters that appear in various parts of Qingzhou, while the other is miscellaneous tasks, such as participating in the patrol team of Qingzhou City.
The risk is relatively low, but the contribution value obtained will also be less."
"These are today's two-star mission and one-star mission. You can take a look."
The girl stretched out her hand to indicate the jade behind her.
I saw columns of text appearing behind it.
【Mysterious disappearance】
Mission introduction: Recently, pedestrians have mysteriously disappeared in the woods five kilometers away from Yunhe County. The local county government sent people to check, but they never returned.
Mission difficulty: two stars.
The mission arrives: twenty contribution points.
【Headless corpse】
Mission introduction: A certain mansion in Qinghe County turned into headless corpses overnight. The death state was extremely horrific, and it was suspected that something strange was at work.
Mission difficulty: two stars.
Mission reward: twenty contribution points.
【Midnight singing】
Mission introduction: On a certain street in Nanyan County, people often heard a woman's sad singing echoing after nightfall. The county government sent people to stay on guard, but she was found violently dead on the street the next morning, with all her internal organs missing.
Mission difficulty: two stars.
Mission reward: twenty-five contribution points.
.......
After looking around, I found that basically the Demon Slayer missions were all two-star difficulty, while the so-called miscellaneous missions were all one-star difficulty, and they were all about assisting local government patrols and the like.
And if Zhou You wants to officially become a demon slayer, it means that he has to complete three two-star demon slayer tasks.
This time cannot exceed half a year.
In other words, if Zhou You cannot complete three demon slayer tasks within half a year, he will never be able to become a demon slayer.
But Zhou You didn't want to go out to perform the mission so soon. He still wanted to accumulate more strength in the Demon Slayer Division, and at least digest the blood-replenishing pills in his hand before going on the Demon Slayer mission. This way, the survival rate would be higher.
"Actually, the first task of every trainee demon slayer is basically this." The pretty girl pointed her finger.
Wander around and take a closer look.
【Demon Demon】
Mission introduction: The Demon Sealed Prison needs to clean up a group of weak demons, and the demon slayer needs to personally kill them.
Mission difficulty: one star.
Mission reward: ten contribution points.
Obviously, this is the novice mission of the Demon Slayer Department. The demons trapped in the Demon Sealing Prison have long lost any ability to resist and have no threat.
However, no matter how weak the monster is, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. Only a strong-blooded demon slayer can kill it.
The Demon Slayer Department simply announced the task of cleaning up the demons, which would not only improve the courage of the intern slayers, but also allow them to see the true face of the demons.
"Then I will take over this task." Zhou You nodded slightly.
This is equivalent to free benefits, don’t take them for free.
What's more, killing a demon with your own hands will indeed make a capable person grow faster.
At least I won't be scared to the point of shaking my legs when facing a monster.
The pretty woman registered the travel information and handed him a cold iron plate.
"This is the token of the Demon Sealing Prison. Tonight you can take the token to the Demon Sealing Prison, go to the corresponding prison room, and kill the demons in it."
It says Level 1 on the front and Prison No. 45 on the back.
Zhou You put it away, turned around and left Tianxing Palace.
