Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 634 The Honest Man Who Got Promoted

"..."

Shen Yi glanced at Meng Xiuwen, who had a smirk on his face, and then looked at the bloody head at his feet.

I probably know why the other party is in such an embarrassing state.

After all, the Demon-Slaying Division is different from the Demon-Suppressing Division. The latter follows the orders of the Martial Temple and is in charge of the Nine Provinces. Within the scope of Daqian, the Martial Temple is the ultimate authority.

But in Shenzhou, the imperial court's control is clearly counterbalanced by the Immortal Court.

Therefore, the Demon Slaying Bureau has to take many things into consideration when doing things. The forces that cannot be seen in the light always need to consider various risks to avoid being noticed by the Immortal Court.

Looking at what is happening right now, the situation is definitely not serious enough to require offending and killing a Taiyi Immortal to resolve it.

"I didn't fucking mean it."

Meng Xiuwen gritted his teeth in anger and cursed, "I was originally planning to collect that broken net and leave, but who would have thought that this kid would rush over here like he was mentally ill, yelling something about being too domineering... After all, he is a cultivator comparable to the sixth rank, how could he be so brainless."

Ye Jing suddenly interrupted his complaints: "It's almost the same here."

"what?"

Meng Xiuwen then came to his senses, noticed the mess around him, and then looked up at the sky.

The night was still murky, and compared to before, it was a bit more chaotic, a sign that the world was without a master.

"You killed Master Yulong?"

He widened his eyes and looked at the girl in the green dress.

"And the spirit beast under this person's seat is also at the seventh level." Ye Jing stared at the head on the ground.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Meng Xiuwen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smacked his lips in amazement: "I never knew you've become even more capable."

"It wasn't me." Ye Jing shook her head, took a half step back, and exposed Shen Yi.

"..."

This subtle movement made Meng Xiuwen freeze in place. He knew Ye Jing. This girl would never brag or shirk responsibility.

If these two lives had anything to do with her, she wouldn't have said such words.

Looking at Shen Yi's calm appearance again, Meng Xiuwen grabbed his hair more and more forcefully. What on earth did the God of Land push towards him?

It was the same doubt as before I came here, but the meaning contained in it was completely opposite.

Previously, I thought that although this person was somewhat intelligent, he was difficult to control and his strength was not very high, so it was difficult for him to be of any use.

What is surprising now is how such a young and talented person could fall to the point of seeking a job from the God of Land.

"Show me."

Meng Xiuwen extended his hand towards the two of them.

Ye Jing took out the body of Jade Dragon Patriarch, and then stared at Shen Yi blankly.

"..."

Under the gaze of the two, Shen Yi was silent for a long time, and reluctantly took out the bear monster's corpse. Before the two could see clearly, he quickly put it back into the ring.

It is impossible to hand it in.

Now that he and Zi Yang have come to Shenzhou, he is isolated and helpless. Every corpse of a demon represents an extra help, and can help him learn more about the many forces in Shenzhou.

"hiss."

Meng Xiuwen's eyesight was so sharp that he could tell from the injuries on the bear monster's body what kind of brutal means had killed it in just a moment.

"Walker Road?"

"He also knows the immortal magic." Ye Jing knew what Meng Tou was worried about, and dispelled his speculation with just one sentence.

"The God of Land said you are a wandering immortal."

Meng Xiuwen turned his head and carefully looked at the young man in front of him from head to toe: "So... So this is the casual cultivation method?"

As immortals, they have no way to move forward, so they have to learn a few unconventional skills to support themselves.

Does this immortal in our family mean the integration of the two religions?
"What should we do now?" Shen Yi didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing, so he kicked the head on the ground casually.

However, he never expected that his action made Meng Xiuwen's eyelids twitch again.

Before coming here, he was worried that this young man might not be able to relax when facing the three religions. Now, based on this action, he was only worried that the other party would be too relaxed.

This is not a question of respecting the three religions, it is a question of not taking the three religions seriously at all!

"what to do……"

Meng Xiuwen slowly retracted his gaze. Since everyone was almost as decisive as he was, it didn't matter. "Report it to them and have them come over to solve it. It's not the first time that I've made a mistake, so just do whatever you want."

At this point, his posture of being as tough as a rolling knife did not look like that of a demon slayer at all.

"withdraw!"

Picking up the head and corpse, Meng Xiuwen waved his hand and took the two of them straight out of the Yulong Sect.

……

More than ten days later, at the Land God Temple in Jianyang Prefecture.

Two red-faced old boys were waiting respectfully, serving tea and water to the two people sitting at the low table.

"I hope my sister hasn't caused you any trouble."

On the right side of the coffee table is a girl with waist-length black hair and a pretty face. She is dressed in a plain white knight outfit, which makes her look neat and tidy, and adds a bit of heroic spirit.

"You worry too much. Miss Ye Jing's powerful skills have helped Jianyang Mansion solve many troubles. To be honest, it should be the old man who caused trouble for her."

Min Zhiyan cupped his hands, without putting on any airs of an immortal official in front of this woman.

Although the other party is Ye Jing's sister, the two girls are not much different in age, but their cultivation is very different.

If Ye Lan had not joined the Demon Slaying Division, with her strength, she would even be qualified to participate in the selection of the fifth-rank immortal officials in the Immortal Court.

"Master Ye, is this time when you come to Jianyang Mansion? Is that a bit tricky?"

As the God of Land, how could Min Zhiyan not know what these demon slayers did when they went to the Yulong Sect.

"It's not a difficult situation." Ye Lan rubbed his wrist and said softly, "Although Qingmei picked the Taiyi Dao Fruit, she doesn't like being bound. She has not entered the Immortal Court to serve. She is just an idle cultivator. If you handle it cleanly and keep your mouth shut, there won't be any big problems."

"What about Meng Xiuwen?" Min Zhiyan smiled bitterly.

Everyone knows that this Mengtou is the leader among the demon-slaying officials in many big prefectures in terms of strength. However, he has not been promoted for all these years. In addition to his unclean background, his easily impulsive nature is also one of the important reasons.

"Resign from your position as demon slayer for the time being and take care of your character."

Ye Lan slowly stood up and asked, "Is Jing'er the only demon slayer in Jianyang Prefecture?"

Hearing this, Min Zhiyan smiled bitterly: "That's not the case. Recently, there is a new one named Shen Yi..."

He originally wanted to find someone to take care of this cursed star that was born to kill people, but just a few days later, Meng Xiuwen was directly dismissed from office. Could it be that this was not a cursed star, but a jinx?
"Got it. I have something else to do. I'll come to visit you next time."

Ye Lan nodded her chin, then turned and walked out of the woods.

"Master Ye, please wait a moment. I will let this old man have something to say." Min Zhiyan stood up to see him off and called him back, "Master, did you come here this time because you heard about the Dharma taught by the great master of the Bodhi Sect?"

"..."

Ye Lan paused, sighed softly, and gave an affirmative answer.

"The old man also has a few good friends. According to them, the master this time sent out Buddhist posters and talked about the Lotus Platform Method. This fact is rare. Even people from the Immortal Court will come to watch the ceremony. The old man suggests... that the Demon Slaying Bureau just keep an eye on it, but don't get too involved." Min Zhiyan stood where he was, with a hint of emotion on his face.

Logically speaking, it should be a good thing that a major religion is willing to spread its teachings to the world.

But it also depends on what Dharma they are preaching.

The Lotus Platform Method is fine for overcoming the physical tribulation, but if it is to overcome the mental tribulation, one needs to use the method of absorbing the imperial energy of heaven and earth.

In Min Zhiyan's opinion, the widespread spread of this thing might not be a good sign.

"Thank you for reminding."

Ye Lan bowed in thanks, then turned into a flowing cloud and disappeared on the spot.

……

Jianyangfu Inn.

Shen Yi was flipping through the jade slip in his hand. Rather than a set of exercises, it was more like the notes of experience that Jade Dragon Patriarch made when he was listening to the Dharma.

It is extremely obscure and lengthy, and it hurts the eyes to read.

After a long time, he rubbed his temples and finally finished reading all the annotations.

[Seventh Rank. Jade Dragon Transformed into Cangmu: Not Yet Entered]

The bad news is that this is an unorthodox method and is far less effective than the orthodox methods of the three religions.

Although it is also about experiencing tribulations and understanding the world, this wild method will lead to many more detours and waste countless years.

But the good news is that this thing can lead directly to the seventh level of perfection... Maybe, after all, the founder of the law, Master Yulong, has not practiced it personally.

Shen Yi has no master and no comprehension. Even if he were to listen to Master Qingmei's teachings in person, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with anything better.

You can use it.

Moreover, according to his understanding, as long as one can get through the road, the ultimate goal is to harvest the fruit of the Tao, and different paths lead to the same destination.

[Remaining demon lifespan: 185 kalpas]

The lost eight kalpas of lifespan has now turned into a black bear stone, standing quietly in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.

Shen Yi closed his eyes, and in an instant, all of the demon's lifespan was poured into this unconventional method.

[In the first calamity, you cultivated into the true form of a jade dragon, moved through the sky, and suddenly heard the great way. You fell between the rugged rocks and began to comprehend the world. In order to better understand the mysteries, you settled here, experienced vicissitudes of life, and gradually turned into the appearance of a dark tree.]

Shen Yi, who had personally experienced the Lotus Platform Method, felt the gap between the two as soon as he began to practice.

Travelers enter the world in their physical bodies and directly perceive the heaven and earth. There is no need for them to transform themselves into other forms like Patriarch Yulong did, which would only delay their progress.

But if this is not done, the immortals without the true law to protect themselves will not even be qualified to take a glimpse of the true face of heaven and earth.

Sure enough, the demon's lifespan was rapidly draining away, but the green tree was growing extremely slowly, gradually extending new branches at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

A dead tree grows new branches, over and over again.

When it reached the level of the Three Tribulations Lotus Platform, Shen Yi's nine tribulations of life had already been consumed.

Even though it's only three times the consumption, for a cultivator, it means they need to constantly look for opportunities to prolong their life, or even reincarnate again and again. There are too many risks involved, and one could end up dying if they are not careful.

Ultimately, these unconventional methods are not worthy of being accepted in the public eye.

It seems like a feasible path, but in reality, even if Master Yulong were given a few more lives, he would not be able to reach the end... unless his life span was really sufficient.

[Remaining demon lifespan: 167 kalpas]

[Seventh Rank. Jade Dragon Transformed into Cangmu: Perfection]

The Cangmu tree sprouted new branches for the sixth time, and the entire trunk had become extremely tall. It stood inside Shen Yi's body. Unlike the lotus platform, it was not closely related to this body.

Instead, it is like an inexhaustible spiritual spring, emitting the breath of heaven and earth at will.

The difference between travelers and immortals finally came to light.

Shen Yi felt the majestic aura, as if a vast ocean enveloped him. He felt so floating in the air, as if he could ascend to heaven in just one step.

Although it consumed a full eighteen kalpas of his lifespan and only produced the effect of six kalpas, it did help him reach the perfect realm of True Immortal.

"It's still a little bit worse."

Shen Yi compared the difference between this magic power and the White Rhino Seal. His realm had indeed reached the end of the seventh grade, but in terms of strength, it was still a little lacking. It was probably due to the inferiority of the technique itself.

Just then, a noise outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

"If I am dismissed from office, I will be dismissed. Who cares?"

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, took the vast sea of ​​spirit into the dark wood, and then pushed the door open and walked out.

If my guess is correct, it is probably someone from the Demon Slaying Division who has come to deal with the last incident.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see what the attitude of the Divine Dynasty was. If it was really harsh, he would have no choice but to give up his identity as a demon slayer even though he had just tasted the sweetness.

What caught my eye was Meng Xiuwen, who looked indignant, leaning against the railing with his arms folded. "But I have to make it clear in advance, if you punish me, you can't punish my two subordinates."

The woman dressed as a white knight stood quietly in front of him and said concisely: "You are her subordinate now."

"what?"

Meng Xiuwen stood up straight and looked to the side in disbelief: "Who are you talking about? Her?"

The woman in white ignored him and waved her hand casually. An exquisite iron plate flew out of Meng Xiuwen's arms and fell into her palm.

Then she turned around and handed the iron plate to Ye Jing, who was standing beside her with a dazed look on her face: "Keep an eye on him and don't let him cause any more trouble."

Ye Lan didn't intend to explain too much. She knew very well how obedient her sister was.

"Uh."

Ye Jing blinked and remained silent for a long time. In Ye Lan's slightly surprised eyes, she suddenly took two steps back: "I can't control Mengtou."

"Hmm?" Ye Lan frowned slightly, but then she heard her sister continue, "But he can."

Hearing this, she subconsciously followed Ye Jing's gaze to the side, and then she saw the young man who was leaning against the door railing and watching the show like an outsider.

Because she understands her sister well, Ye Lan rarely questions what she says.

And this young man does seem to be much calmer than Meng Xiuwen.

She hesitated for a moment, then handed the iron plate to the young man. "He is too impulsive and reckless, and is not suitable to be a demon slayer. You will take his place temporarily and keep an eye on him. If he disobeys, you can use this item to send a message to me directly. Can you do it?"

"..."

Shen Yi raised his eyes slightly.

The other party seemed to have only restricted Meng Xiuwen and did not make any demands on himself.

Thinking of this, he reached out and took the iron plate.

Seeing this, Ye Lan turned around and glanced at Meng Xiuwen: "Behave yourself."

The man in white shirt, who had a look of dissatisfaction just now, now had a strange look in his eyes and stood there without saying a word.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lan had disappeared in the inn.

"Cough cough."

Meng Xiuwen turned around slowly. Maybe this woman had done something wrong. Three people had died this time, and two of them were killed by this "honest man" in her eyes.
