At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

Demon Slayer Division, Armory.

After leaving the front hall, which was under the jurisdiction of the Internal Affairs Hall, Mu Yang and Qin Yuan arrived at the armory where the Transmission Hall was located.

Compared to the bustling and chaotic Imperial Household Department, the Armory was much quieter.

The person guarding the front desk at the main entrance was still Zhao Mingli, who was lying on a rattan chair.

"Old Zhao, someone in my team has been promoted to a permanent position and is here to collect supplies," Qin Yuan greeted.

"You've been promoted to a permanent position?"

Zhao Mingli glanced at Mu Yang: "Youth is full of energy!"

"I was lucky; Captain Qin took good care of me."

As Mu Yang spoke, he handed the bronze token to Zhao Mingli.

Zhao Mingli quickly wrote down the note and handed it to Mu Yang.

"As usual, collect your items from room number three on the left."

A formal third-class demon-hunting captain can receive one fluorite and three fourth-tier pills.

These are healing pills for treating injuries, qi-tonifying pills for accelerating the recovery of vital energy, and detoxifying pills for removing toxins.

The names are simple, but they are very effective and practical.

Of course, the price is also very high.

Mu Yang flipped through the catalog, which listed the exchange prices of the pills.

Each Xuan-level superior merit can only be exchanged for three.

"By the way, Elder Zhao, I would also like to exchange for a Dantian construction method," Mu Yang said, putting away the note.

"The method of building up the dantian?"

Zhao Mingli and Qin Yuan were both taken aback.

Haven't we already broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm? Why do we still need to exchange them?

Qin Yuan didn't understand, but Zhao Mingli quickly realized what was going on.

He knew that Mu Yang was currently practicing the Qi Condensation martial art, which was the "Great Dantian Construction Method".

This technique is powerful, but it takes too much time and resources.

It requires both extraordinary talent and a solid family background, which is really not suitable for ordinary people.

Mu Yang must be feeling the pressure now, which is why he wants to switch to a different major.

"Exchange is possible, but switching to the Dantian Construction Method is not as easy as the martial arts of the first three realms."

Zhao Mingli explained earnestly, "Changing your cultivation method is like rebuilding a house; it requires tearing it down and starting over, which is very damaging to your meridians. If you really want to change your cultivation method, it's best to prepare some pills that can repair or protect your meridians."

Qin Yuan suddenly realized.

He also guessed from Zhao Mingli's words that Mu Yang wanted to switch to cultivation, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Zhao."

Mu Yang nodded without offering further explanation.

The more you explain this, the more confusing it becomes. It's better to just go along with what Zhao Mingli said.

"Okay, good that you know. Which subject do you want to switch to?"

"The Method of Constructing the Primordial Qi Dantian." Mu Yang handed the bronze token to Zhao Mingli.

The "Primordial Qi Dantian Construction Method" is also a Qi Condensation Martial Art for cultivating attribute-free true Qi.

If he hadn't lacked merit, he actually wanted to exchange for a Dantian construction method with attributes to see if it would bring about different changes to his true qi.

"Hmm, this martial art is moderate and peaceful, and it's easy to switch to other styles, so it's quite suitable." Zhao Mingli took the token, swiped it on the bronze mirror on the table, and then wrote a note for Mu Yang.

After taking the slip of paper, Mu Yang quickly obtained the "Primordial Qi Dantian Construction Method", fluorite, and three pills packaged in different medicine bottles.

The "Mixed Primordial Qi Dantian Construction Method" is just like its price—unremarkable, with only white entries.

The results were all mediocre.

But Mu Yang didn't care. All he needed was the amount of true energy that martial arts could provide. As for the attributes, they were fine if they were useful, but it didn't matter if they weren't.

Fluorite needs no introduction; it's a Tier 3 item, primarily used for lighting.

The effects of the three pills surprised Mu Yang.

......

[Equipable Item: Healing Pill]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ①Healing (White): Slightly increases the user's injury recovery effect.】

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for eight days, or slay any fourth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

......

[Equipable Item: Qi-Replenishing Pill]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ① Qi Replenishment (White): Slightly increases the recovery effect of your own true qi.】

[Permanent curing conditions:.........]

......

[Equipable Item: Detoxification Pill]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ① Detoxification (White): Quickly removes common toxins weaker than Tier 4.】

[Permanent curing conditions:.........]

......

It enhances the recovery effect of injuries, the recovery effect of true qi, and immunity to fourth-tier common toxins.

For ordinary people, the effects of pills only take effect temporarily.

For Mu Yang, as long as he equips it, it will remain effective indefinitely.

It's like having a permanent buff that lasts 24/7!

Saying that one is worth a hundred is an understatement.

Unfortunately, he only had one of each type of pill. If he had three more, he could enhance them and turn them all blue or even purple.

At that time, Mu Yang will be fighting with "fountain water" on his back.

His injuries healed quickly, his internal energy recovered quickly, his physique was ridiculously strong, and he was immune to toxins.

It has both a robust system and impressive numerical values, making it even more monstrous than a monster.

"I must accumulate merit, I must accumulate merit like crazy!" Mu Yang's heart was burning with desire, and he couldn't wait to kill the demon.

Unfortunately, he was only a third-class demon-hunting captain and was not qualified to lead a team on his own.

Only second-class demon-hunting captains can lead teams.

That being said, if you can't lead the team, can you act alone?

When others return from a mission, they need to rest, not only to avoid mentally collapsing from continuous high-intensity tasks, but also mainly to allow enough time for cultivation.

But Mu Yang is different. When he kills demons, especially those of the same level, the danger is extremely low, so the pressure is naturally not great.

As for cultivation?

Check out the equipment slots!

In this way, resting would actually hinder his cultivation.

Thinking about it, Mu Yang looked at Qin Yuan.

It was already past midnight, and the bright moon hung high in the dark sky, its cool light bathing the two of them in a tranquil atmosphere.

"Captain Qin," Mu Yang suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"Can I take on the mission by myself?"

Qin Yuan paused, turning his head to look at him.

If the person asking him the question is Lei Sai or Zhou Yao, he will solemnly advise them, explaining the terror of the demons and the complexity of information gathering, so that they will back down.

But Muyang...

Qin Yuan thought about Mu Yang's keen ability to judge information, and the scene of him killing monsters with his bare hands without weapons.

It seems that Mu Yang really can go on missions alone.

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Do you know why our Demon Slaying Division stipulates that we must go on missions in groups of at least three?"

Mu Yang shook his head.

Qin Yuan said, "Firstly, more people means more strength, and we can look out for each other when we're on a mission."

"Secondly, if problems arise during the mission, someone can come back to report, preventing the situation from escalating."

At the same level, the combat power of demons is significantly higher than that of human martial artists. What is sometimes a certain death for one person may be a chance for survival or even a great victory for three people.

"So, theoretically speaking, the Demon Slayer Division does not allow newcomers to go on missions alone," Qin Yuan said.

Theoretically, it's not possible?

That works!

Mu Yang's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, Qin Yuan's next sentence pointed the way.

"For solo missions, one must be at least a Second-Class Demon-Hunting Captain; this is an ironclad rule."

"However, there is no rule that the people in a team must stay together at all times during the mission."

"And the maximum number of missions a team can take on at the same time is not one, but three."

At this point, Mu Yang understood what Qin Yuan meant.

They accepted multiple tasks at the same time and then split up to carry them out separately.

If Mu Yang is efficient enough, he could even do two tasks by himself, or even three.

If you can gain three Xuan-level superior merits at once, then you only need to do it three times to accumulate nine Xuan-level superior merits.

Including the one he has already accumulated, that makes ten.

Earning ten Xuan-level superior merits is the minimum standard for promotion to second-class demon-hunting captain.

Then he can act alone!
