"Hiss~~"

Looking at the condensed and undispersed ball of true energy after it left his body, Elder Liang gasped.

After hearing about Mu Yang's exaggerated achievements yesterday, he spent the whole night reading through Mu Yang's information records, carefully and meticulously, without missing a single word.

Born in a small county town, an orphan, he was adopted by a local constable and, following in his father's footsteps, taught himself martial arts.

Before joining the Demon Slayer Division, he was only at the third-tier Blood Marrow Realm. He broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm on the very day he received the Dantian Construction Method.

After breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm, he officially joined Qin Yuan's team and successfully completed a formal mission.

I took a three-day vacation. During my break, I accidentally stumbled upon the fact that the Su family was colluding with demons. Then I went to exorcise a ghost in Guaizi Alley. Then yesterday afternoon, I returned from my second mission.

His work experience is shockingly short.

Even including today, Mu Yang has only been a member of the Demon Slayer Division for ten days.

In just ten days, he broke through from the initial Qi Condensation Realm to the Meridian Opening Realm?

This is totally right!

Even those demonic cultivators who rely on external techniques involving demonic blood probably don't have this speed!

Old Liang remained silent for a moment, then silently took out the demon-detecting mirror from the drawer and pointed it at Mu Yang, who looked at him with incomprehension.

One breath... two breaths... three breaths...

The demon-detecting mirror did not react. Its surface, clearer than an ordinary bronze mirror, reflected Old Liang's wrinkled and silent face.

"Cough cough!!"

Seeing that Yuan Yuan and Mu Yang were looking at him with strange eyes, Old Liang coughed awkwardly twice before quietly stuffing the demon-detecting mirror back into the drawer.

"I ate some pastries this morning, and I'm worried about getting crumbs on my face and ruining my appearance."

Old Liang casually made up a lame excuse, then accepted the bronze token handed to him by Mu Yang without batting an eye and stuffed it into the Mirror of ...

The mirror surface rippled slightly, drawing the bronze token into it.

Taking advantage of this moment, Old Liang said in a deliberately calm tone, "First-class demon-hunting captains will be issued two sets of higher-quality uniforms, which have certain dust-proof and insect-repellent effects."

"In addition, you can also receive a martial arts manual for free."

Mu Yang nodded.

Unfortunately, what he received for free was a martial arts technique, not a meridian-opening method, otherwise he could have opened a few more meridians.

But that's normal.

Unlike the method of building the dantian, the method of opening the meridians does not allow one to break the dantian and rebuild it if one is not satisfied.

Once the meridian-opening method is determined, it is almost impossible to change it.

After all, different methods of opening the meridians will create different effects on the major meridians.

For example, the powerful wind meridians constructed by the "Powerful Wind Meridian Method" have the effect of increasing speed and reaction speed.

Soon, the bronze token was ejected from the appraisal mirror, and the words on the back of the token changed from "Second Class" to "First Class".

"Thank you, Mr. Liang."

Mu Yang took the token, nodded to Yuan Yuan beside him, and then prepared to turn and leave.

"etc!"

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out.

Mu Yang looked at Yuan Yuan, who continued, "Elder Liang, now that Mu Yang has been promoted to First-Class Demon-Seeking Captain, why don't we lead tonight's operation?"

Evening? Operation?

Are they going to take action against the canal gangs?

Thinking of what he had gained last night, Mu Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at Elder Liang.

"That's right. Mu Yang has already been promoted to First-Class Demon-Seeking Captain. His rank and strength are both sufficient."

Old Liang muttered something to himself, as if to say, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Then, he looked at Mu Yang and said, "There will be a purge operation by the Canal Gang tonight, led by two First-Class Demon-Hunting Captains. One of them is Yuan Yuan, and the other is still undetermined. Are you interested?"

"It's my duty!"

Mu Yang's attitude was sincere and his tone was firm.

"In that case, let's assemble at the training ground at 9 PM tonight." Old Liang nodded.

"Same old procedure, just take the confiscated items to the front hall."

The old rule means that you can keep whatever you want.

Given the resources of the Demon Slayer Bureau, they certainly didn't think much of the small-time Canal Gang.

"Understood, Elder Liang."

Mu Yang responded and then left the room without lingering.

"A twenty-year-old at the Meridian Opening Realm? Our Qinghe County has produced a true dragon!"

Old Liang murmured softly.

Twenty years old, ten days, the Meridian Opening Realm—he had lived for so many years and never imagined that one day he would hear these three words put together.

..................

On the other side, after leaving the Internal Affairs Hall, Mu Yang walked along the corridor to the armory.

After wiping out the Pingwei Escort Agency yesterday, he received three more rewards for outstanding merits at the Xuan-level.

A reward comparable to slaying three monsters.

And this is only for him alone.

Keep in mind that their team has five people, which adds up to fifteen Xuan-level superior merits.

It's almost equivalent to one and a half fifth-tier demons.

But the difficulty is almost zero.

It is evident that confiscating property was an extremely lucrative and profitable task.

Including the reward for killing the catfish antler, he now has a total of one Earth-level lower-grade merit and three Profound-level upper-grade merits.

Mu Yang prepared to carefully browse through the catalog of the armory to see what rare dantian construction methods were available.

Soon, Mu Yang arrived at the armory.

Today, it wasn't Zhao Mingli on duty, but a strange middle-aged man whose left leg was severed at the root, leaving only a prosthetic leg made of bronze.

Not far in front of him were Lei Sai and Zhou Yao, who had just completed the exchange.

Lei Sai held a new bow in his hand. The bow was entirely black and two fingers longer than the previous one. A blue crystal was inlaid at the tip of the bow, which shimmered with a faint luster in the light.

Zhou Yao was fiddling with several porcelain bottles in her hands. When she saw Mu Yang come in, she put the bottles away and waved to him with a smile.

"Brother Mu, you've arrived!"

Lei Sai put away his longbow and looked at Mu Yang.

Mu Yang replied and then went to the exchange catalog.

Lei Sai and Zhou Yao also curiously came over.

Mu Yang didn't hide anything; he first flipped through the catalog to the section on Dantian Construction Method.

The price of the Dantian Construction Method varies from one to three Xuanji Upper Grade Merits. Generally, the one with attributes is the highest grade, worth three Xuanji Upper Grade Merits.

Therefore, Mu Yang started from the bottom up, choosing the most expensive one.

"Brother Mu, are you planning to change your cultivation method?"

Lei Sai was somewhat puzzled, but did not ask aloud; he simply muttered to himself.

Zhou Yao was also a little confused.

The Dantian construction method is not a martial art, so it cannot be practiced concurrently, and switching to another method is quite troublesome.

Perhaps they wanted to see more and learn by analogy.

Geniuses always have some quirks.

People without quirks probably can't become geniuses!

Zhou Yao thought to herself.

Mu Yang ignored their expressions and continued making his selections.

The Demon Slayer's armory contains many methods for constructing the dantian, numbering over a hundred, but only about 30% of them have attributes, and the vast majority of them are of the five elements.

Mu Yang originally wanted to find the "Purifying Heart Dantian Construction Method" that Lei Jiaojiao had mentioned that day, but he searched around and did not find it.

Clearly, this is a unique martial art that the Yuan family has developed on their own.

Seeing this, Mu Yang naturally had no choice but to change his target.

Finally, he chose an ice-attribute martial art called "Mysterious Ice Dantian Construction Method".

Actually, he wanted to find a method for building a dantian to cultivate lightning-attribute true qi.

Unfortunately, the Demon Slayer Bureau didn't have it, so I could only choose an attribute that I didn't have yet to complete.
