Chapter 145: Really Promoted (Subscribe)
At the same time, on the banks of the Tianxiang River, the sun was shining through the sparse clouds onto the surface of the river, sparkling like countless golden fragments jumping. The river was wide and calm, with occasional breeze blowing, bringing up layers of ripples, as if it was the breath of nature.

Yuan Ji looked at the vast blue waves and the beautiful scenery of the river and sky merging into one, but he felt extremely irritated and angry.

He was still thinking about what happened last night.

Lin Twelve actually found the syringe for the strengthening injection in the silver vault of his "Dasheng Trading Company"!

Not only did Lin Shier use the syringe as evidence to prove his guilt of being in collusion with the devil, he also captured the eunuch Wang Zhenli, the supervisor of the Maritime Customs!
The more than 30 merchant ships were also released from the port this morning, carrying stones of Shenxin tea north to the capital.

Yuan Ji was filled with remorse, knowing that he had completely lost, losing everything he had, not even his underwear.

As soon as these more than 3000 merchant ships left the port, His Royal Highness the King of Han and others lost at least million taels of magic silver. I am afraid that before long, His Royal Highness will want to skin him alive.

Yuan Ji was also very curious now, wondering who had framed him last night? Which beast was it?
He never doubted Lin Twelve. Although that boy had many suspicious aspects, he had passed the highest level of "Demon Test" and had been tested by the Song Dynasty's national defense war dragon.

But this guy is also the culprit who caused him to fall into his current situation!

Just as Yuanji's thoughts were wandering, the river surface in front of him suddenly became turbulent, and a huge demon suddenly emerged from under the water.

The demon's magical power has materialized, transforming into a blood-colored outer aura that wraps around its body. Its shape is like a crocodile, covered with irregular black scales, with horns on its head, and its body is three meters tall and twelve meters long.

Its cyan eyes glared at Yuan Ji with sarcasm. "Isn't this Yuan Ji, the great merchant of Jinggang? I heard you've become a homeless dog. Not only has your home been raided by the government, but you're also wanted."

As it spoke, it folded its body, displaying a flexibility far superior to that of a crocodile. "Tell me, what do you want from me? Let me be clear up front: if you want my help, you must pay me a satisfactory reward."

"The Demon Lord is as foresighted as a god!" Yuan Ji narrowed his eyes and stared at the extremely powerful sixth-level demon in front of him: "I need you to help me deal with someone, the new Wangcheng Defense Envoy Lin Twelve!"

"Impossible!" The Sixth Realm Demon sneered, "My injuries haven't healed yet, yet County Magistrate Li Changguo took back his armor this morning. Ha! It seems your loyalty to His Majesty the King of Han is also limited. I thought you would ask me to go to the river to cause chaos and block the waterway—"

Its voice paused, because the Sixth Realm Demon saw Yuan Ji open a box in his hand that had a strange shape and was made of unknown material.

The key point is that there are two rows of transparent crystal tubes of different colors inserted in this box.

"Is this the strengthening injection for the extraterritorial demon?"

The demon from the Six Realms brought the head closer to examine it carefully.

It couldn't tell what these injections were used for, but each of these devilish things was very precious.

The Sixth Realm Demon looked at Yuan Ji and laughed coldly: "The government says that Jinggang Da Shang Yuan Ji is colluding with the extraterritorial demons, but in my opinion, you may be a latent extraterritorial demon."

It raised its head. "I can't do it myself, but I can have my men help you. The question is, when will we act? What's the plan?"

"Wait until he leaves the city and then take action!"

Yuan Ji then took out another injection from his sleeve and injected it into his neck.

His body then underwent amazing changes. All the muscles around his brain began to distort uncontrollably and become entangled with each other. Eventually, Yuanji's head expanded three times in size, and his facial features disappeared. Only a huge eye remained, occupying most of his face.

The eyes were full of bloodshot and looked extremely scary.

Yuanji's skin also began to turn purple, and was covered with tiny scales.

"A quasi-sixth-level super king-level phantom eye demon!"

The demon from the Sixth Realm looked up and down at the deformed Yuan Ji, his eyes filled with even more mockery. "How interesting! You don't want to be a good person, but become a demon? Are you crazy?"

"It's just for now."

Yuanji closed his eyes and looked inward at his soul.

The Phantom Eye Demon is indeed one of the most powerful illusion-type demons.

This unique body structure not only allowed his injured soul to recover quickly, but also increased his mental strength exponentially!
It should be enough to deal with a martial artist at the peak of the third realm.

Yuan Ji took a deep breath, suppressing the anticipation surging in his chest like magma. "All you need to do is help me contain the Blood Blade Princess. I'll take care of Lin Twelve myself!"

The demons from the Six Realms seemed to be thinking about something when they heard this.

This guy had voluntarily transformed into a Phantom Eye Demon, claiming it was only a temporary change. Could he be planning to take over another's body? A defense envoy from the Imperial City Division? Truly an extraterritorial demon.

It immediately burst out laughing. This guy in front of it was actually so stupid as to think that after becoming a demon, there would be no turning back? It was really ridiculous.

Even if this guy succeeds in taking over someone else's body, he will eventually turn into a demon.

※※※※

Seven days later, when Lin Rui was practicing standing meditation in the inner court, he discovered that some light golden threads appeared in his blood.

Lin Rui was excited and looking forward to it.

At this time, his blood training progress has reached 89.2%, and he only needs one step to break through to within 90%.

It is expected that after he finishes practicing a set of standing meditation tomorrow, he will be able to use the blood-refining injection to overcome this obstacle in one fell swoop and refine all the light golden silk threads into red gold.

By then, his mental strength and physical fitness will be greatly improved.

He can also draw blood to feed back to his body, and try to "form a pill" at the same time.

Just like the Blood Refining Stage, even if he only reaches 0.001% of the Golden Core Stage, he will be a genuine fourth-level Golden Core master, equivalent to the major level of the Earth Federation.

However, at the Jindan stage, the original body would actually progress faster. The Earth Federation's 'artificial Jindan' could be implanted as long as the physical and mental qualities met the standards and the mental state was fine. Unlike the alien body, which still required gradual training.

What's more gratifying is that he has made rapid progress in 'Shengyang Jiedao' and 'Shengyang Zhuang' and can already use them skillfully.

Because he had mastered these two types of martial arts to the level of a master from the very beginning, he had a plan in mind and could complete the sword practice in one go and with one stroke.

And because he practiced with the most correct posture, all his moves were performed with a high degree of completion, with almost no flaws or breaks.

Lin Rui then turned his gaze to Ji Xueying, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

The Blood Knife Princess was also practicing the Shengyang Jiedao that he taught.

At present, Ji Xueying's basic martial arts is still the 'Blood Thunder Demon-Breaking Sword' she learned before, which specializes in thunder magic, which is not very compatible with her current bloodline power.

Lin Rui's 'self-created' Shengyang Jiedao is more suitable for this Blood Knife Princess. Once it is practiced to perfection, it is expected to increase her combat effectiveness by 50% on the existing basis.

However, although Ji Xueying's comprehension is excellent, she cannot compare with Lin Rui, who is a cheater. At present, she is just at the entry level of this 'Rising Sun Tribulation Blade'.

What surprised Lin Rui was that when Ji Xueying was practicing with the sword, not only was her whole body flashing with lightning, the surrounding light was distorted, and even the speed of the sword was a bit faster than yesterday.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Ji Xueying's "Jingxue Knife" has undergone transformation.

Not long ago, a skilled knife maker integrated half of the 'Xuanye Divine Gold' into the 'Jingxue Knife', which not only strengthened the internal structure of the Jingxue Knife, but also transformed the weapon formation of the 'Jingxue Knife', allowing it to possess both light and fire elemental forces.

"It's been seven days, and it's still strengthening? How could that gene-replenishing potion last this long?"

Lin Rui was surprised and relieved. "According to the analysis of the biochip, Ji Xueying's sword speed has increased by at least 72% compared to seven days ago, her strength has increased by 45%, and her affinity and efficiency in utilizing the elements of lightning, fire, and light have also increased by more than 40%. And there's no end in sight."

As expected of Professor Sima, the medicine prepared by this candidate academician himself was unexpectedly effective.

Lin Rui suspected that the gap between the current Blood Blade Princess and the Emperor level was only a thin line.

That gene-replenishing potion allowed Blood Blade Princess' qualities in all aspects to grow to the upper limit close to the super-royal level.

Previously, her super emperor had only developed 76%, but now it has developed to 92%.

The key is that the Type 3 allogeneic enhancer and steel bone potion are still unusable.

The Type 3 mental enhancer was used, but the remaining two injections had to wait until the Blood Blade Princess's gene replenishment potion completely lost its effectiveness.

Lin Rui was eager to fight with Li Guochang again and scalp this guy.

On the night seven days ago, this bastard county governor seized many of Yuanji's related industries in the city in advance and took a big bite of the money that should have belonged to him.

At this moment, Lin Rui's mind moved and he looked towards the outer yamen.

Ji Xueying also stopped the knife temporarily and glanced over.

The place where the two of them practiced martial arts was originally a garden in the inner court. After it was razed by Li Changguo, Lin Rui was too lazy to repair it and simply turned it into a martial arts training ground, exclusively for the two of them and the demon to practice martial arts.

Because it is surrounded by high walls, this place is very private, with only this archway connecting to the outside world.

At this time, Wang Sen was walking in from the archway with a middle-aged scholar who was dressed simply and had a smart and capable temperament.

"Sir!" Wang Sen bowed and said, "This gentleman claims to be a messenger from the Shazhou Garrison Commander."

"My name is Bai Hao!" The middle-aged scholar bowed to Lin Rui and said, "I hold the position of Western Tutor in the Shazhou Garrison."

"So it's Mr. Bai, my apologies!"

Lin Rui's face turned serious, and he returned the greeting solemnly: "It's inconvenient to talk here, Mr. Bai, please go to the middle hall to serve tea——"

He didn't expect that the envoy from the Shazhou garrison commander would arrive so soon.

He thought that this person would arrive tomorrow, by which time he would have just broken through to the fourth realm.

"No need!" Before Lin Rui finished speaking, the middle-aged scholar shook his head solemnly, "I'm here on the orders of the garrison commander to carry out two important tasks. I need to report back as soon as possible after completing them. Your Excellency doesn't need these empty formalities."

As he spoke, he pulled out a document and a waist badge from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Rui. "The first one is about this appointment document and waist badge. The garrison commander has issued an order. Because of Wude Duwei Lin Twelve's meritorious service in exorcising demons, effective immediately, Lord Lin is promoted to the rank of Sixth-rank Imperial City Commandant, and is currently serving as the Defense Commissioner of Wangcheng!"

Lin Rui was overjoyed that he actually got promoted!

Among them, the sixth-rank Imperial City Commandant can be regarded as his military rank. Only with this rank can he be appointed as the Defense Commissioner of Wangchengdu.

The key question is how long has he been a seventh-rank military commander? It seems that everything he has done since taking office has pleased his superiors.

Just as Lin Rui took the appointment document, the middle-aged scholar used magic to obscure the surroundings and asked in a low voice, "The second matter is about the bottle of 'Shenxin Qingling Pill' in Qin Yan's cave. Did the foreign demon you captured really say that there was a bottle of 'Shenxin Qingling Pill' in Qin Yan's cave? Where is this foreign demon now?"

"Mr. Bai, you misunderstood. I didn't capture this demon. I snatched it from the hands of the Criminal Investigation Department seven days ago—"

Lin Rui wanted to explain clearly, but seeing that Bai Hao's face was full of impatience and excitement, he stopped talking consciously.

"Mr. Bai, that demon is imprisoned in our Wangchengdu prison. Thank goodness you came today, otherwise I would be unable to hold on. Several fifth-rank censors from the Judicial and Surveillance Commissioner's Office are constantly demanding the return of that demon. I'm a lowly official with little power, and the pressure is immense."

Bai Hao frowned upon hearing this, wondering if the Judicial Commissioner had also set his sights on this demon? How dare he covet something favored by the Divine Envoy?
