He started by brutally defeating the demon lady, and the passersby were terrified!

Time flew by and it was noon the next day.

Meng Yan opened her eyes.

"I never imagined that I would have cultivated for this long without even realizing it."

I'm very hungry.

Didn't people say that after becoming a cultivator, one can withstand hunger?

Why do I feel so hungry now that I've finished my cultivation?

strange!

Meng Yan also found that when he was cultivating, he easily became immersed in it, and time would pass by in a flash.

I was hungry.

But Meng Yan, who had been meditating all night, did not feel tired at all.

His mental state returned to normal immediately.

"This crappy phone..."

Meng Yan was about to open her phone to check the time.

The power is out again.

The house is very dilapidated.

A high school student living here, besides maintaining the most basic operating mode, actually hasn't had time to take care of many things.

For example, the clock is broken.

We didn't buy batteries.

I have no money.

No time.

Don't even mention that batteries cost one or two dollars.

We have to go out to hand out flyers even to eat, so where would we get the money to change batteries?

You can watch it as soon as you charge your phone, which is more cost-effective.

He got up and cooked a bowl of noodles, which is what he usually makes at home.

Qianjiang

I've charged my phone quite a bit. It's a second-hand phone, so the battery does drain a bit faster. I'll buy a new phone later.

As soon as Meng Yan opened WeChat, he noticed a message flashing.

It was actually Qianjiang who sent it in the middle of the night.

They said a livestreamer visited their hotel and asked him to come and check it out.

He was meditating at the time.

Therefore, no information was seen.

Normally, he felt that if he wanted to advance from the first level of the Spirit Spring to the second level, he would need to cultivate at least one or two hundred nights at the pace he was at now.

In other words.

Normally, the advancement of a spiritual spring takes a little over six months.

He had seen it in the cultivation guide before.

The base has similar books.

From the first level of the Spirit Spring to the second level, it takes about half a year on average to cultivate diligently.

Without diligent effort, the timeframe could be delayed to a year.

With the help of rare and precious materials, elixirs, or cultivation techniques that enhance cultivation speed, or with cultivators or martial artists possessing exceptional comprehension, the time required will be shortened. The exact amount of time shortened depends on the individual's comprehension and the quality of the rare and precious materials.

The time required to progress from the second to the third level of the Spirit Spring will then double.

In other words, it takes half a year to go from the first to the second level of the Spirit Spring.

From two to three levels in one year.

It takes two years to go from three to four levels.

Four years from the fourth to the fifth level.

Five to six levels in eight years.

Sixteen years from the sixth to the seventh level.

From the seventh to the eighth level, it took thirty-two years.

Sixty-four years from the eighth to the ninth level.

If the entire cycle is purely normal cultivation, without any blessing, it takes 127.5 years.

Therefore, some people are stuck at the Spirit Spring realm for their entire lives.

Therefore, many people buy elixirs and rare herbs to shorten the time required for cultivation.

This is also the cultivation guide for the Divine Investigation Bureau.

It is recommended to purchase suitable elixirs to assist in your improvement.

After all, the lifespan of someone in the Spirit Spring Realm is the same as that of an ordinary person.

The limit is only 100 years old.

Without using rare and precious materials to shorten the cycle, or unless one is a genius with extraordinary comprehension, it is possible that one could not even last one cycle.

Above the realm of the Spirit Spring are night tours and day tours.

The maximum lifespan of the Night Wanderer realm is 150 years, while the maximum lifespan of the Day Wanderer realm is 200 years.

Above the two realms lies the Void.

The lifespan of someone at this level can reach five hundred years, which is a true qualitative leap.

However, according to the information in the cultivation manual...

Many people spend their entire lives stuck at the Spirit Spring realm, let alone night tours, day tours, or even the Void Return.

That was a dream within a dream.

However, Meng Yan heard the fat man say that after being promoted to a formal member of the Demon Slaying Bureau, he could unlock the Merit Point Shop, where he could also exchange for pills.

I believe that as long as I slay more demons, breaking through to a higher realm shouldn't be a problem.

In particular, you can receive a regular Spirit Spring Realm Pill for each minor advancement in the Spirit Spring Realm.

It can be considered a form of motivation.

This user has ended their live stream.

Meng Yan clicked into the live stream of the person "Li Balang, the one with the toughest Bazi" that the fat man had posted.

It turned out the live stream had disappeared.

But since it was breakfast, Meng Yan didn't mind and simply clicked in to take a look.

He wondered if this guy also had a cheat ability to awaken, just like him.

Because his live streams are even wilder than when he first started.

Sleeping in a coffin, smashing idols, and dancing with loudspeakers on a grave.

They even wore burial clothes on Qingming Festival and had a meal late at night in a desolate burial ground, saying they were inviting passing neighbors to eat and drink together.

I went home in the evening.

I saw the statues of gods in the small temple.

They rushed over and smashed the statue in the small temple... all while live-streaming it.

They said they'd see if there would be any retribution.

The last video is about smashing the statues of gods in someone's small temple.

Meng Yan clicked on it.

Meng Yan would never dare to do such a thing.

He only went to haunted places to knock ghosts' heads off.

If this guy doesn't have a cheat code to unlock, he's just too wild.

"Where is he? Wasn't he supposed to stream all night? What's going on! He's not streaming anymore after taking a shower?"

"His phone must be dead! He really said he wouldn't stream after taking a shower, what a waste of my time!"

"Are you trying to make a fool of us?! You only filmed the part where they went into the room to shower, and then you turned it off. Did you actually see any red light? Are you worried about it being haunted tonight? Post it now! Otherwise, I wish your wife's childbirth would be in two stages!"

"It's already midnight! Has there been no update yet?!"

……

Meng Yan discovered.

The latest video is from three days ago.

But the comments were all from ten minutes, a few minutes, or even a few seconds ago.

Everyone was asking the other party for follow-up information.

Meng Yan glanced at it.

It seems to have been during a live stream last night. This person named Li Balang said he was going to take a shower, and then the live stream was interrupted.

I haven't replied to anyone yet.

I don't know what happened.

He has learned through the mission hall that there are indeed strange events happening at the Red Center Hotel.

Meng Yan opened the task system.

[Investigation into the disappearance case at the Hongzhong Hotel on June 12]

"The two people who stayed in room 704 of the Hongzhong Hotel in the center of Qingshan City mentioned strange noises to their relatives and friends by phone and WeChat, which sounded like a baby crying and a mirror in the toilet emitting a red light."

……

[Task accepted successfully.]

[Task Rewards: Upon accepting and completing this task, in addition to the normal rewards, the team will receive a base reward of 1 merit point and 5000 bonus points. The team leader will receive an additional 1 merit point and 5000 bonus points.]

[Task Hint: This is an official task. The level of the demon is unknown. It is recommended that demon slayers above the Spirit Spring level accept this task. A minimum of two people are required to form a team. The current team members' levels and number of team members are qualified. The rank is Apprentice. It has been confirmed that you will be accepting the next level of task.]

This is the Hongzhong Hotel mission that Meng Yan and Li Zhichun received last night.

The mission at Hongzhong Hotel is a formal mission.

This means that you can only receive the mission after completing ten tasks during your apprenticeship and becoming a formal demon slayer.

In principle, they are not allowed to receive it.

However, due to considerations such as gaining experience, etc.

Trainee teams can take on tasks at a higher level.

Official, unrated squads can take on missions two levels higher.

For example, a formal, unrated squad can take on C-level missions, and a D-level squad can take on missions that require B-level squads.

Rank B can take on missions for Rank S teams, etc.

But very few people would do that.

Because each squad's rating is built up through combat experience.

I wonder if this guy has awakened yet.

Were they taken to the base?

Meng Yan picked up his work machine and started completing tasks.

They come from all over the country.

He chose Aoyama City.

[Investigation Mission for the Heart-Digging Tragedy in the East Alley of West Street, Aoyama City, June 1st]

"On the night of June 1st, in Qingshan City, two students leaving a cram school were found dead in the East Alley of West Street, their abdomens cut open, their internal organs removed, and their heads taken. The scene was extremely gruesome, leaving only bloody empty shells. The bizarre incident was reported to the Bureau of Divination. After a special team's on-site investigation, and based on relevant records, it appears to be a case of 'Lingzheng Ghost's' murder characteristics. Please assign a task force to investigate the truth, eliminate the Lingzheng Ghost or the person responsible for the incident, and resolve the potential consequences."

"Huh??"

The next instant.

Meng Yan frowned slightly.

Is this the post I saw on the forum last night?

It's actually in their Qingshan City?!
