Great Five-Viscera Immortal Abode

"Master Qin, I think you might also be a born cultivator!"

After a moment's pause, Di Feng said very seriously, "Haven't you noticed that your perception is unusually strong?"

Daoist Chen couldn't sense the evil spirits, yet you were able to pinpoint their exact location.

At this point, Di Feng's expression became somewhat excited. "Born with superhuman strength, possessing an invincible mind, either of these qualities is a talent that is one in a million."

Master Qin, would you like to consider joining our Demon-Suppressing Bureau? With your strength, you can definitely accumulate military merits quickly.

Whether it's martial arts manuals or rare and precious materials, they can all be exchanged for military merits.

"So the manual you gave me was also obtained by exchanging it from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau."

"Of course not." Di Feng immediately shook his head. "The cultivation technique I gave you was my private treasure."

Although I am merely a Demon-Seeking Envoy, the current situation is turbulent.

We can still handle paranormal events within our jurisdiction using our own network and connections.

Afterwards, with the receipt, we can also earn military merits and exchange them for various treasures.

For example, I have a partnership with Azure Sun Abbey, which involves exchanging some of my merit points for treasures for them.

Just like this time when the Mass Grave Mound were suppressed, Azure Sun Abbey contributed a great deal of effort. The government will definitely write a letter to commend Azure Sun Abbey, and the benefits they will receive will definitely be substantial.

Di Feng explained some of the intricacies of the Demon-Suppression Envoy to Qin Yan.

Local Daoist or Buddhist sects have limited influence.

For example, if you want to obtain an old ginseng root for medicinal purposes, you either have to spend a lot of money to buy it from various places, but there's no guarantee that someone will sell it to you.

Alternatively, one could venture into the deep mountains and forests to search for it, which would take at least a year and a half of time and effort.

But it's different for the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

It was backed by a vast dynasty, and could readily obtain whatever it wanted from other places.

The Daoist and Buddhist sects already had close ties with the imperial court, so cooperation between them was a natural fit.

Only those people in the martial arts world, to put it nicely, are chivalrous heroes, but to put it bluntly, they're a bunch of bandits who do nothing but thievery and prostitution.

True heroes exist, but they are truly few and far between!

Moreover, many of these are accomplished young people who venture into the world with only passion and enthusiasm.

Very few people are actually able to persevere or even survive.

The vast majority of them were reduced to piles of bones by attacks and retaliations from other martial arts practitioners.

"Master Qin, with your strength, you can directly become Demon-Suppression Envoy by joining the Demon-Suppressing Bureau."

A seventh-rank official wields immense power, and local officials must cooperate when carrying out missions.

Failure to cooperate may result in consequences ranging from losing one's job to imprisonment.

In addition to their monthly salary, they also receive benefits from the imperial court, including a Qi Condensation Pill each month to aid in cultivation.

Each year, one will receive an Origin-Embracing Pill to enhance cultivation.

You will be granted the right to freely select items from the Tier D Treasury at least once.

Furthermore, each completed mission awards a varying amount of merit points, depending on the difficulty; each merit point can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver.

The benefits that Di Feng mentioned were quite tempting to Qin Yan.

"Tell me, there must be quite a few benefits to recruiting people into the Demon-Suppressing Bureau, right?"

Di Feng, having his thoughts exposed, was not embarrassed. He said seriously, "I'm doing this for the common people, so of course I get referral benefits."

If someone as exceptional as you joins, I will receive ten merit points.

How about we split it 50/20 then?

Aside from when we're on missions, the Demon-Suppression Envoy Demon-Suppressing Bureau generally doesn't discipline us, giving us a great deal of freedom.

Furthermore, it will not affect your current status in the slightest.

Qin Yan pondered for a while, considering the pros and cons of joining the Demon-Suppressing Bureau. There were dangers, but also many benefits.

The main advantage is official rank; joining the ranks is equivalent to holding a seventh-rank official position.

Li Wenqing is powerful, right? He controls a third of the underworld in Qinghe Town, but he's nothing in front of Jiang Fuji.

"Okay! I promise you!"

Upon hearing this, Di Feng lit up with elation, and he gave a mysterious smile.

"Master Qin, if you really become the Demon-Suppression Envoy, there's a high chance you'll stay behind in Qinghe Town!"

Is this really true?

"Of course!" Di Feng explained, "The Demon-Suppression Envoy immense power, but also faces immense danger."

Therefore, most people choose to stay in their hometown, which also allows them to better protect their homeland.

"Binding the local culture with the individual."

"I see!" Qin Yan nodded upon hearing this.

I was still thinking about how to stay in the local area, but now I realize I was worrying too much.

Di Feng sent the intelligence he had, along with information about Qin Yan, to Youshan Prefecture via carrier pigeon.

"The Youshan Prefecture branch will receive news tonight, and it's estimated that someone will be sent to conduct the assessment within the next few days."

Di Feng explained in detail, "To become Demon-Suppression Envoy, one's strength must be up to par, and the assessment will be conducted through direct missions."

The examiners will determine your eligibility to become Demon-Suppression Envoy based on your performance.

Don't worry, I have quite a few related books here, which I'll send over later along with the internal energy cultivation manual.

That night!

Qin Yan looked at the several new books on his desk!

[The Great Five-Viscera Immortal Abode - Part 1]

After turning the pages and reading for a while, Qin Yan's face lit up with surprise.

This cultivation method combines internal and external practices. The first part focuses on the physical body, and in the early stages, it involves eating a lot to temper one's qi and blood.

During this process, physical strength will be greatly enhanced.

He passed through the Third Realm of body refinement at an extremely fast pace, and only after reaching the Marrow-Washing Realm did he begin to absorb the primordial energy between heaven and earth.

It combines Qi and blood to cleanse the body of impurities, broaden the meridians, and strengthen muscles and bones.

When one reaches the Qi Origin Realm, the amount of Qi that the body can hold will be two to three times that of a normal martial artist.

The second part describes the tempering of the five internal organs; each time an organ is successfully cultivated, a new ability will be generated.

Watch the full episode!

Qin Yan now felt somewhat regretful, having only obtained half of the cultivation technique.

I wonder how powerful I would be if I obtained the entire story.

"Let's give it a try!"

Qin Yan immediately sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate. The core of the first half of this exercise lies in the breathing method.

After a moment, his mind became clear, and Qin Yan began to breathe at a special frequency.

As he practiced this special breathing technique, Qin Yan clearly felt that the flow of qi and blood in his body was being drawn in, and the speed of circulation increased by more than double.

At the same time, he also sensed some energy fluctuations being attracted around him.

Tiny specks of light were converging on him.

"Could this be the Heaven and Earth Origin Qi that Di Feng was talking about?!"

Qin Yan's eyes widened in surprise; this was the same special energy he had sensed back in that treasure land in the mountains.

He could sense this kind of thing normally, but it was extremely rare.

So few as to be negligible.

It turns out that a special technique is needed to draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth!

"I'm probably going to make it big."

Qin Yan unleashed a burst of light; the concentration of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi in that mountain forest was more than ten times stronger than here.

If you cultivate there, wouldn't you just be taking off from the spot?
