Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 701: Hundred Pills and Eternal Tribulations, Shenxu Awakens

Jianyang Mansion.

Shen Yi had returned to the courtyard at this moment, listening to Wushan chattering about the matter of Lord Yang coming to hold him accountable.

"How ridiculous! Without any evidence at all, you immediately conclude that the nine prefectures in the west are hiding the evil and not reporting it. You're still thinking about them... By the way, what's going on over there?"

The burly fat man spat and suddenly asked curiously, "The demon disaster that made you go there in person should not be a small matter."

"already solved."

Shen Yi stretched out his arms and responded simply.

On the way back, he had turned all the corpses of the demons into stone suppressants and sent them out to the twenty-seven prefectures of Great Nanzhou.

Perhaps because the days of hiding far away from the border were too leisurely and there was less killing, nearly 60% of these demon fairies lived past half their lives, and there were very few young ones. This also resulted in almost all of the demon life they had just earned being lost, leaving them with only about 400 kalpas.

But Shen Yi rarely showed any sign of heartache, and there was a rare look of ease on his face.

After all, if you want to "wear multiple hats" without being discovered, you can't be trapped in one place.

Only if nothing happens in Da Nanzhou, Shen Yi will have the energy to mediate between the three religions.

You know, compared to the Divine Dynasty, once the Old Ancestor Shenxu and the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva realize that something is wrong, it will really cost them their lives.

As for the lack of personal cultivation... naturally someone will come to make up for it.

Shen Yi twisted his fingers lightly, and his heart felt a little warmed up.

The last time we solved the problem in the Demon Suppression Tower, the only strong ones involved were a few fifth-rank big demons, but we exchanged them for the golden pill of imperial energy that could last for five hundred tribulations.

So how much is this disaster worth?
Even if we take the lowest calculation, exchanging a fourth-grade demon fairy for a thousand calamities isn't too much, right?

Shen Yi was not worried that the Demon Slaying Division would have problems with the rewards, not because he trusted the Divine Dynasty, but mainly because Great South Continent was in urgent need of a pillar to hold up the scene, so the imperial aura bestowed would only be more, never less.

Moreover, with the constant evolution of the Taixu Golden Pill, his attainments in alchemy are also steadily improving. Now, when he uses the alchemy method to digest the imperial energy, the loss will not exceed 10%.

After thinking about it, Shen Yi pushed the door and went back into the house.

I would like to take this hard-earned opportunity to take a break.

He had a premonition that for a long time to come, he would not have such free time to do anything.

Earlier in Songfeng Mansion, Shen Yi actually noticed the woman in the green shirt and white skirt.

The other party's cultivation was extraordinary, and the aura he exuded when he took to the air was not even weaker than his own level of subduing dragons and tigers. Even if it was less than three thousand kalpas, it must be very close.

A disciple of the immortal sect who is more powerful than Qingluan has actually entered the Divine Dynasty and started the so-called "saving the world" operation.

This is by no means an exception, but a symptom.

That group of three religious followers finally came down the mountain and entered the secular world, which truly marked the beginning of this chaotic world.

Everyone has to accumulate fame, which means there must be enough monsters for them to save.

The threat of harboring an enemy to protect one's own safety that Shen Yi had worried about at the beginning has now completely become an undisguised reality.

He is not one to underestimate himself.

It is difficult to find an opponent in the fourth level realm.

However, the disciples of the Immortal Sect, especially the best among them, and the group of demon fairies in Songfeng Mansion are definitely not the same kind of existence even if they are all of the fourth rank.

Whether it is the magic weapon bestowed by the Three Immortals Sect or the supernatural powers given to disciples by the Bodhi Sect, just like the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva uses to restrain his four arms, these things can make them stand out in the same realm.

To put it bluntly, if the ones who attacked Songfeng Mansion were eight disciples of the immortal sect like the woman in green shirt and white skirt, Shen Yi felt that he would not have even a 10% chance of winning.

What's more... within those big sects, there are also great immortals and bodhisattvas.

Shen Yi discovered that up to now, the third-grade masters of those major sects did not seem to have any intention of taking action, and the most outrageous one was only the Seven Treasures Bodhisattva who was preaching in Heshan at that time.

But even this Bodhisattva just wanted to finish preaching the sutra from beginning to end, and had no intention of actually taking action to fight against the Divine Dynasty.

But it’s normal when you think about it.

Although entering this chaotic world can bring great rewards, it also costs one's life.

At their level, no matter what the final result is, they will all share the benefits, the only difference is whether it is more or less. There is really no need to take the risk.

It is estimated that the Demon-Slaying Division and the Divine Dynasty, including the three Generals of Zhennan, all thought in this way.

Shen Yi has a different opinion.

Because of the mark of calamity power on his body and the magical power of the four arms, in the end only one person could survive between him, the old ancestor Shenxu, and the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva.

If he won, it would mean that a third-grade strongman in the great sect had died.

Once a person dies, things change.

"How on earth should I get up there?"

Shen Yi returned to the bedside, leaned quietly against the wall, and reviewed his great Dao fruit and fruit position again.

He had clearly reached the peak of the fourth rank, but there was still no hope for the future. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

……

In the courtyard.

With the help of the elixir, Wushan's injuries have almost healed.

The whole person looks full of energy.

He glanced at the worried Ye Lan and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Seeing our General Nanyang in such a state and coming back so quickly, it shouldn't be a big deal. He wouldn't be injured and hide it from us. He probably went back to his room just to rest."

Wushan had seen Shen Yi injured before.

Even in that state, the other party continued to sit outside the Demon-Suppressing Tower nonchalantly, paying no attention to the outside world. He was not the pretentious person like me who would hide a minor injury from others.

"I hope so."

Ye Lan forced a smile, but she felt inexplicably strange in her heart.

It was obvious that the chaos in the world was becoming more and more serious, but he had fallen into a situation that was even more relaxed and comfortable than before. In the entire nine prefectures in the west, there was not even a single demon disaster.

This huge contrast made her feel at a loss.

Ye Lan could not find any other explanation for this strange situation except for the young uncle in the room.

"Rest for a few more days, it's almost time to go back."

Wushan also stretched, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.

In just three days, a streak of light streaked across the sky of Jianyang Prefecture, and the person who came was none other than the man with black beard.

"General Nanyang has made great contributions in dealing with the evil spirits. Please come forward and claim your reward!"

He spread out his hands, and in his palms was the Jade Order of the Divine Dynasty. This order was issued by the Immortal Department and was second only to the Imperial Edict of the Human Emperor.

"Ouch."

Wushan stood up from the stone bench with some surprise, and was unable to react for a moment.

When has the Demon-Slaying Department, a shady government office, ever held such a formal ceremony? What the hell is going on today?

Ye Lan stood with his hands hanging down, a hint of helplessness appearing at the corners of his lips.

She knew that whenever her uncle-master did something trivial, even the gift of horses by the Immortal Court to Baiyun Cave could be turned into a major case of confiscating the property and exterminating the whole family by the other party.

But even though he was mentally prepared, Ye Lan's heart still skipped a beat and his face was stunned when he saw Shen Yi walking out of the house and the black-bearded man reading out the jade order, respectfully spreading the velvet yellow cloth on the table, and then carefully filling the entire table with Imperial Qi Pills.

One hundred imperial energy pills, a total of ten thousand calamities!

If there are good seedlings, these pills alone are enough to accumulate ten fourth-grade Taiyi True Immortals. Ye Lan has been a titled general for so many years, and even with the convenience of his identity as the master of Shenxu Mountain, he earns a lot more than other colleagues, and all his savings are only a thousand calamities.

"..."

Wushan sat back on the stone bench with a thud, his legs slightly weak. It was not because he was frightened by such a generous reward... Well, he had indeed never seen so many golden pills at once.

But the more important reason was that, as an old man in the Demon Slaying Division, he knew better than anyone how terrifying and dangerous the demonic disaster was behind such a huge reward.

Thinking back to Shen Yi's calmness and indifference when he returned, the level of horror increased several times.

But the terrifying one was not the big monster, but the young general in front of him.

The next moment, the slightly awkward words of the black-bearded man made Ye Lan and Wu Shan both freeze in their places: "I'm sorry, the reward is twelve thousand Tribulation Emperor Qi Golden Pills, but the Great South Continent does not have enough reserves, so we need to transfer them from the Imperial City, so..."

"So I owe you two thousand kalpas first."

After the man finished speaking, his face turned redder.

This is probably the first time that salary arrears have occurred since the establishment of the Demon Slaying Bureau. General Nanyang has gained some experience again.

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Yi put away the golden pill. These imperial energies were enough for him to test his ideas for the time being.

"By the way, I still have your thousand tribulations, but I can only owe you that for now." The man with black beard looked at Ye Lan again.

"And mine?"

Ye Lan came back to her senses and suddenly realized something.

Shen Yi stayed indoors all the time and left Wushan in the courtyard to recuperate, so the task of slaying demons in the nine western prefectures fell entirely on him.

Although those evildoers were resolved inexplicably, the corresponding achievements were recorded in the book and would not be swallowed up.

"..."

I clearly said I wouldn't return it, but this is just an excuse to return it.

Ye Lan looked at Shen Yi with a complicated expression, remembering the ten golden pills she had given him in Shenxu Mountain. She felt helplessness but also a bit of amusement.

I didn't realize that this uncle-master was quite proud.

I just don't know what the point of this unnecessary effort is.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Ye Lan retracted her gaze and waved her hand gently. Her bottleneck had been loosened for a long time, and she was only one step away from comprehending the great Taixu Sword Fruit. Once she truly crossed this threshold, it would not be too late to achieve a breakthrough in the imperial energy.

"Then I won't bother you."

The man with black beard glanced around with emotion. He took a few more glances when he came here just now. The nine prefectures in the west really looked like a pure land in troubled times.

Clearly so many things had happened, yet there was not even the slightest disturbance.

I don’t know when my own territory will be able to have such peace and tranquility.

After seeing off the titled general, Shen Yi did not exchange too many pleasantries with the two of them. He simply said hello and then walked to find another quiet courtyard. He then took out the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials and began to digest his reward from the imperial energy.

He couldn't wait for this day.

As early as when he noticed the golden thread in the great level of Subduing Dragons and Taming Tigers, Shen Yi understood one thing.

The difference between the third and fourth grades is definitely not just a simple difference in "quantity".

Those gods, Buddhas, and immortals have found something special in the power of calamity, and that is the factor that can help them reach the third level.

In other words, even if the imperial golden elixir was completely digested without any damage.

Shen Yi might become the first Taiyi Immortal in the world to transcend all calamities, but he would still only be a Taiyi Immortal and had nothing to do with the Daluo Immortal.

"Then give it a try."

Shen Yi adjusted his breathing. During this period of time, he had felt the golden thread left by the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva countless times, and its aura was almost imprinted in his mind.

What we need to do now is to find something similar to this thing from the calamity force.

With his current attainments in alchemy, refining this kind of low-grade elixir that carries calamity power is as easy as eating and drinking water, and it is no problem to open ten furnaces at the same time.

No need to think at all.

As the fire in the furnace rose, Shen Yi slowly closed his eyes, and as his fingertips moved, pieces of medicinal materials mixed with the imperial golden pills fell into the furnace.

Time passed slowly, and when the alchemy furnace vibrated, the Thousand Tribulations Golden Pill had been completely melted into the elixir.

As expected, the loss was about 10%.

The next moment, Shen Yi actually opened the panel at the same time, swallowed the pill, and refined the next batch of Tribulation Pills.

Three things in one mind.

The remaining four hundred kalpas of the demon's lifespan were slowly injected into the Taixu Taoism, using deduction to digest the medicinal power.

[In the first calamity, you took the Thousand Tribulations Pill, and your soul and body were all wrapped in the power of the calamity. You quietly digested this medicinal power...]

Shen Yi seemed to have disappeared into a vast yellow fog. He had swallowed similar calamity pills many times and knew what would happen next.

These yellow mists will soon be absorbed by myself.

Only this time, he wanted to stay a little longer.

Shen Yi steadied his mind, actively resisted the absorption of the medicine, followed the breath in his mind, and began to search in the vast fog.

However, this process soon ended.

As the warmth surged through his body and completely sank into the Taixu Golden Pill, Shen Yi opened his eyes speechlessly: "..."

The deduction was completed, and Taixu Jindan's cultivation level successfully reached more than 4,500 kalpas.

Although his realm had clearly improved significantly, Shen Yi couldn't smile at all. This matter seemed to be much more difficult than he had imagined.

Fortunately, there are enough royal golden pills.

Shen Yi waved his hand slightly, and another batch of pills came out. He swallowed them quickly and started the deduction again.

Soon, the exact same situation happened in the courtyard.

There was a hint of confusion in the young man's dark eyes.

More than five thousand five hundred kalpas.

Open the furnace again and swallow the pill again.

More than six thousand five hundred kalpas.

"..."

Shen Yi looked at the pill in his palm and the powerful calamity power overflowing from his body, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

This shocking and terrifying situation finally brought trouble!

He was clearly in the Jianyang Mansion at this moment, but his mind and soul were inexplicably drawn to the realm of Taixu.

There was even a swallowing sound in my ears, which was filled with a hint of laziness after waking up from a dream, as well as the ecstasy and greed at the sight of delicious food.

“Heavenly Pill…Heavenly Pill!”

As the hoarse voice came, Shen Yi felt a chill all over his body and clenched his hand holding the pill.

Obviously, the changes in the Taixu Golden Pill still awakened the ancestor Shenxu!
