On the unnoticed roof of Dashunzhai.
Jiang Chengyun was quite helpless. He didn't know if it was an occupational disease. Even after returning to Qingzhou City, his grandmother always liked to stay in such a strange place and pretended to be harmless on weekdays.
Ah Qian sat with her two white legs crossed: "Tell me, you came back so soon, what did you do?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chengyun said expressionlessly: "Stand on the tree and stare."
"Then what?" A Qian looked back in confusion.
"And then I came back." Jiang Chengyun curled his lips quietly. He didn't even know where he was going.
Seeing his frustrated look, A Qian couldn't help laughing: "Does he have such a great ability?"
Previously, the eldest grandson looked down on Shen Yi, but how come his attitude changed so much after he came back from his trip?
"Bigger than you think."
Jiang Chengyun exhaled, his expression complicated: "Better than me back then... including you and General You when you were young, and more decisive and ruthless. Given time, you will definitely not lose to me."
"Then you plan to take him with you and replace us old guys?" A Qian stretched his body nonchalantly.
"I don't have the ability to lead anyone, let alone take care of him." Jiang Chengyun clenched his palms slowly.
After these words were spoken, a hint of surprise finally appeared on A Qian's face.
From what he said, it seemed that his grandson already regarded that young man as a competitor.
A martial artist who has achieved the state of condensing pills feels pressure from a young man who has achieved the state of jade liquid perfection?
"Ha, credit this achievement to his identity as a silver bell demon catcher, and don't follow the path of the Demon Suppression Division. When you have accumulated enough merits, exchange them for the pill condensation method and martial arts temple cleansing for him as soon as possible."
The Demon Suppression Division wishes for stability in Qingzhou and dares not allow any instability to occur within it.
But monster hunters are different. They love to use this kind of sharp sword, even if it may hurt themselves.
"By the way, where are he?" A Qian was a little confused.
"I came back early to help watch the captains and the lieutenants raiding the Vajra Gate."
Jiang Chengyun couldn't help but sigh. It was already remarkable that the other party had such strength at his age. Besides, he was also so meticulous and methodical in doing things.
First, he surrounded the Vajra Gate with great decisiveness, then went out of the city to capture the demon. He did not care about false reputation at all, restrained his temper, and tried his best to complete the last few finishing touches.
Thinking of this, he frowned and looked at the children of the noble families below.
I am afraid of comparison in everything. What kind of people are they?
"You have nothing to do anyway, so before you leave, take those fake bald donkeys out and chop them off. It's annoying to watch them." Ah Qian sentenced the King Kong Sect to death with just one sentence, and then stood up and said, "I was originally thinking of finding someone to take that kid to familiarize himself with the process. Since you think so highly of him, then you can take him to Yong'an City to see the world."
"Okay." Jiang Chengyun nodded in agreement.
…
West City, King Kong Gate.
Countless captains hurried back and forth on the broken steps.
They were extremely skilled at raiding homes and exterminating entire families. Even things hidden under the beds would be searched thoroughly.
He smashed the huge Buddha statue with a stick to make sure there was no treasure inside, and then continued to move on to the next one.
Shen Yi leaned against the carriage, casually flipping through the martial arts book in his hand.
Two lieutenants were waiting beside him and said respectfully, "Sir Shen, would you mind making a copy and taking it back for a careful inspection?"
After a moment, Shen Yi closed the martial arts book that he had finally found and threw it over: "No need, just enter it directly."
"The Vajra Sect was once a prestigious sect, but it has become so poor in just a few hundred years." The captain was a little embarrassed.
This foundation is far behind Qingfeng Mountain, let alone ordinary second-rate sects. Where did all the money go?
"I have exhausted all my resources, trying to forcibly build a body-tempering warrior comparable to the Condensing Dan Realm, and rebuild my past glory..."
The other captain stopped talking halfway through his words. Since Lord Shen came back and asked them to take action, it meant that the abbot was most likely dead.
"Go get busy."
Shen Yi nodded his chin slightly and waited until the two left.
He summoned the panel and looked at the extra words on it. A trace of barely perceptible joy flashed across his clear eyes. [Ningdan. Life and Death Zen Body Volume (Not yet introductory)]
Sure enough, when Shen Yi first met the abbot of the Vajra Sect, he found that the aura on the other side did not seem to be some evil power.
According to the superficial understanding I just had when I read it.
This Zen body requires meditation and cultivation, separating the concepts of life and death from the breath of heaven and earth in order to temper oneself.
Black and white, one death and one life.
The former kills, the latter brings rejuvenation.
The abbot's Buddhist practice should be not much different from his own. It is not feasible to rely on meditation to achieve sudden enlightenment, so he took the most easily obtained things related to life and death to help his practice.
It actually worked for him.
Shen Yi looked at the demon's remaining lifespan of more than 400 years and sighed slightly.
It's only been a short time since I came back from Qingfeng Mountain, how come this is all I have left?
This martial art only has the first volume.
Shen Yi had come into contact with many similar incomplete things before, among which the Golden Yang Eight Treasures Mysterious Body was the closest. After practicing it to perfection, he was able to barely enter the Jade Liquid Realm. However, it was still of no use when encountering a real Jade Liquid Realm monster.
Like this half of the Life and Death Zen Body, as long as you can practice it to its full potential, it will definitely bring blessings to yourself, and not a small amount, but it is not enough to achieve a qualitative change.
What really attracted Shen Yi was that it belonged to the body-tempering martial arts of the Ningdan Realm, involving areas beyond the Yuye Realm. He could condense something like the Demon Crystal, and as long as he had enough lifespan, he could try to evolve it into a complete demon martial arts.
A complete method of tempering the body in the Nascent Soul Realm is enough to become the foundation of a first-rate force.
It has been such a long time since I came here, and I finally have the opportunity to come into contact with higher-level martial arts.
Anything you lack now can be borrowed from the demons.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi took out the silver bell from his belt. With this thing on him, the difficulty of obtaining the demon's lifespan has been greatly reduced.
There is no need to be too anxious.
Until it got dark, many captains and lieutenants loaded the boxes of things onto the carriages and then transported them to the Demon Suppression Division.
Shen Yi hitchhiked and returned to the villa.
Occasionally, conversations could be heard in the yard.
There was still warm food on the table and the wine glasses were seven-tenths full, but no one was eating.
Butcher Zhang was teasing the young man in his arms. Fang Heng was staring at the two of them with a hint of nostalgia when he heard footsteps outside.
They all looked over, hiding their worries, stood up and said with a smile,
"You're back."
Shen Yi was slightly startled, and casually threw the wolf cloak in his hand onto the back of the chair, came to sit down at the table, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Fang Heng sighed helplessly: "I'm worried that something might happen to your Lord Shen."
It is impossible for ordinary people to surpass the younger generation in Qingzhou.
Behind this group of young ones, there are old guys standing.
Not only did Shen Yi do it, he also did it extremely beautifully, leaving no room for fault.
But as long as one is human, it is impossible to never make mistakes. One needs to constantly display strength in order to make that group of people put away their resentful eyes and dare not look at them directly anymore.
If this can be achieved, Fang Heng suggested that the master retire early and give the position of general to Lord Shen.
"I..."
Butcher Zhang raised his glass, toasted to Shen Yi, and then drank it all in one gulp.
If you don't express your gratitude for a great favor, you don't know how to express your gratitude.
He wiped the wine stains from his beard and said: "Whenever and wherever you need a butcher, just say the word and I will prepare a coffin for you."
