After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Soon, he was able to enter a state of complete absorption in the world around him.

The flawless golden elixir within the body slowly rotated, emitting a soft and pure golden light that resonated with the body's qi and blood.

Even more miraculously, as he practiced his technique, the pores on his body seemed to open automatically, greedily absorbing the rich, almost tangible, moonlight essence surrounding Moon Shadow Pool.

The silvery-white light seemed to be drawn in, flowing into his meridians, being refined by the golden elixir, and merging into his limbs and bones.

“Strange…” Xu Ze looked inward at himself, still puzzled. “In my previous life, I cultivated at the Moonlit Heavenly Pool of the Biyang Sect and had the same feeling.”

"Why is my affinity for and absorption efficiency of lunar energy still so high?"

He just couldn't understand it.

Is there some kind of connection between me and the moon?

For questions that have no answer for the time being, it's best to stop thinking about them.

After advancing to the mid-stage of the Middle Golden Core realm, pills like the Qi Nourishing Pill had negligible effect on Xu Ze.

He now hoards the Time Dew in those little green bottles and eats the immortal fruits that have been cultivated for tens of thousands of years.

In any case, the demon territory has no shortage of all kinds of immortal fruit seeds.

Once he has a superior alchemy furnace and advances to the sixth-grade alchemist, he will then attempt to make other pills for the Golden Core stage.

As for Bai Yuxi, she became best friends with Bi'er and they were inseparable.

This little girl is willing to share everything with anyone except her master.

……

The days passed by.

One night, Xu Ze was meditating and cultivating in Moon Shadow Pool as usual.

A crisp and familiar notification sound rang out unexpectedly from the depths of his mind, breaking the silence of the night and the tranquility of his mind.

"The store has been refreshed."

It turns out the system time had reached 12 o'clock, and the store refreshed.

With a thought, he sank into nothingness and opened the golden panel.

[System Shop]

[Level: 2]

[Remaining refresh attempts: 2]

[Remaining Points: 1150]

Xu Ze looked at the upgraded mall, which now refreshes once more per day and can also lock two items at the same time.

【Product List——】

【Name: Mysterious Iron】

Price: 10 points

[Description: A common casting material, strong and malleable, suitable for forging various weapons and armor.]

Xu Ze had no interest in the first item.

This thing can be bought with ordinary silver, so it's practically useless.

He decisively clicked the refresh button.

Based on previous patterns, if the first item is a [material], subsequent refreshes will definitely yield items of the same type.

Since I really want a flying sword right now, system, please farm some useful materials, please.

【Name: High-Quality Fire Essence】

Price: 50 points/piece

[Description: An auxiliary material synthesized by advanced weapon-refining cultivators, used to stabilize furnace temperature during casting and increase the probability of successful molding.]

as predicted.

The second time, it was also about materials.

"Hmm, this is still somewhat useful."

Xu Ze saw that the maximum purchase quantity was three pieces, so he simply spent 150 points to buy all three pieces.

Purchase successful. Remaining points: 1000.

Then, Xu Ze looked at his last refresh count.

He held his breath and, without hesitation, tapped it again.

This time, the system's online store interface presented a completely different picture.

Even the most powerful magic weapon like the [Heaven-Devouring Bottle] that appeared last time didn't have such a special effect.

It was a golden light.

"A rare item has dropped!"

He was startled, held his breath, and looked at the product information that was gradually solidifying in the dazzling golden light.

Name: Enma

Price: 5000 points

[Description: The essence of the remains of the ferocious beast 'Yama' that ravaged the world in the ancient primordial era.]

It can unleash the remaining malevolent power within at once, delivering a powerful strike comparable to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage.

After use, the remains will lose their activity and transform into the finest material, an unparalleled treasure for forging deadly weapons.

Xu Ze read the description word by word, and felt a surge of heat rush to his head, making his breathing become heavy.

It's true what they say, you get exactly what you need!

It's like someone handing you a pillow when you're about to doze off...

No, it was a dragon bed inlaid with gold and jade that was presented to them!

Chapter 58 Just Right

"It's locked."

Without any hesitation, Xu Ze locked onto [Enma].

Although 5,000 points is expensive, based on the description, it is definitely worth the price.

You get what you pay for.

"Points, you'll accumulate them eventually."

Xu Ze felt no anxiety, but rather was filled with fighting spirit.

Having a clear goal will give you more motivation.

I'm not far from achieving a perfect clear of the first dungeon; the rewards might be enough by then.

He then returned to the game, and the scenery of Moon Shadow Pool reappeared.

The cool night breeze brushed against my cheeks, dispelling the slight heat caused by excitement.

Xu Ze steadied himself, closed his eyes again, circulated his cultivation technique, and immersed his mind in cultivation.

The silvery moonlight, like a gentle stream, flowed continuously into his meridians, where it was transformed into pure spiritual energy by the flawless golden elixir, gradually solidifying his foundation for advancing to the later stage of the golden elixir realm.

……

at the same time.

The other side of Luoxia Mountain.

The Southern Continent Branch of the Demon Slayer Alliance.

Inside the simple house, Xu Changqing was bent over a long table, meticulously recording something on a slightly worn animal skin register with an ordinary brush.

His movements were unhurried and his expression focused, as if he were doing something extremely sacred.

"Boom—"

The door was pushed open rather roughly, bringing with it a slight breeze that stirred the papers on the table.

A young man dressed in a black Demon Slayer Alliance deacon uniform, with a somewhat sinister look on his face, strode in.

Xu Changqing put down the roster in his hand, looked at his colleague whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and frowned. "Deacon Chu, where have you been? Why haven't you come back for so many days?"

"Don't forget, as a deacon of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, the clothes you wear represent not only your status, but also a responsibility to maintain peace between the human and demon races. Being away from your post for extended periods, in case of an emergency..."

Hearing the old man's sermon.

"Enough!" Chu Sheng was already seething with anger, but considering the other person was a colleague, he could only patiently say:

"Old Xu, just do your job and mind your own business."

It's one thing for Laozi to be threatened by a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator in the Biyang Sect.

You old codger who's just wasting his life, and you're talking to me like a cultist?

With such abilities, why don't you go to the front lines to fight and earn merit?

Despite being so rudely contradicted by Chu Sheng, Xu Changqing did not show any anger on his face. Instead, a faint look of disappointment and helplessness flashed across his clear eyes.

"Hey……"

He sighed softly, shook his head, and said no more.

Some people have already made up their minds; there's no point in saying more.

I really don't know how he became a butler.

They're probably just relying on the influence of the Chu family of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

"What about the list of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan? Has it been compiled?"

He didn't delve any further. Xu Changqing was a rather unassuming person, and instead began asking about work-related matters.

"Don't even mention it, we didn't find a single one." Chu Sheng sat down dejectedly, picked up the now-cold tea on the table, and took a big gulp.
