Private Tutoring

"So, you all gain your acquired divine abilities through cultivation methods?" Lu Jun asked Li Tuo.

"Yeah... not everyone awakens innate divine abilities out of the blue like you," Li Tuo said with a hint of envy.

"What are your acquired divine abilities?" Lu Jun asked curiously.

"Heh heh, my abilities are incredibly powerful. I can burrow into the earth and control soil..." Li Tuo said. He then demonstrated for Lu Jun, jumping off his horse. The moment he touched the ground, the earth instantly softened, and he burrowed into it, even swimming around underground for a bit.

"How was that..." Li Tuo grinned.

"Impressive," Lu Jun marveled.

Along the way, Lu Jun learned a great deal about this world from the three members of the Demon Slaying Division.

For instance, the land they were currently traveling on belonged to a country called 'Dagan'.

The country's administrative system was similar to a combination of the provincial and prefecture-county systems from Lu Jun's past life. Local administration was divided into three levels: province, prefecture, and county.

To draw a parallel to Lu Jun's past life, a province was like a province, a prefecture was like a directly administered municipality, a state was like a prefecture-level city, and a county was like a county in Lu Jun's past life.

Previously, Huang Family Village, where Lu Jun was from, was geographically located in Tiannan Province, Yunzhou, Nanxiang County, Qingyao Town, Huang Family Village.

Lu Jun's next destination was the Yunzhou headquarters of the Demon Slaying Division.

At the same time, Lu Jun also learned that the blind old man's surname was Yun.

However, since Lu Jun had not officially joined the Demon Slaying Division yet, he directly referred to the elder as 'Senior Yun'.

Furthermore, through his inquiries, Lu Jun discovered that Old Man Yun's identity was also quite extraordinary.

The positions within the Demon Slaying Division were divided into seven ranks.

[Sword Wielder, Bronze Robe, Silver Robe, Golden Robe, Commander, Prefect, Grand Executioner]

These corresponded to the seventh to first ranks of Dagan's official positions.

Because the tasks of a Demon Slaying Envoy were highly dangerous, even the lowest-ranked Demon Slaying Envoy held a seventh-rank official position. Of course, no one had any objections, as these individuals were fighting demons and monsters on the front lines with their lives. Who would dare to object to an official position earned with one's life?

Therefore, the blind old man before them was a high-ranking official, a fourth-rank minister of the court.

Even the two individuals accompanying him, who were brought along by the blind old man for experience, were sixth-rank officials.

Li Tuo boasted to Lu Jun, "Lu Jun, I have another benefit of joining our Demon Slaying Division to tell you about."

Lu Jun glanced at him.

Li Tuo said proudly, "That is, 'execute first, report later, by imperial decree.' As long as anyone, any faction, or any court official shows the slightest sign of involvement with demons or monsters, Demon Slaying Envoys do not need to report to their superiors and can directly investigate. Violators will be killed without mercy!"

"So, what do you say? Do you want to join?"

"Let me think," Lu Jun replied calmly.

The Demon Slaying Division's privileges were indeed extremely formidable.

He understood that this was a feudal era where a higher rank could crush a lower one.

It seemed that having a certain status would be very beneficial now.

The last thing he wanted was for some unknown idiot to stop him and babble incessantly while he was in the process of slaying a demon.

Horses had limited speed, and the journey from Huang Family Village to Yunzhou was long, requiring a full five days.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The group successfully arrived at the city gates of Nanxiang County. They still had the final two days to reach Yunzhou.

Old Man Yun said, "It's getting late. Let's rest in Nanxiang County tonight."

The four entered the city and found a random inn in the city center to rest.

As soon as Lu Jun returned to his room, he focused his eyes again.

Soon, text reappeared before his eyes.

[Demon Life Essence: 6472]

[Demon Life Essence can be used to improve the realms of martial arts and cultivation methods.]

"Martial arts realms..."

Along the way, Lu Jun had also learned a great deal from Old Man Yun about how cultivators in this world slayed demons.

According to Old Man Yun.

Those with extraordinary talent would awaken divine abilities naturally. Afterward, they only needed to improve their realms, and the power of their divine abilities would increase.

Of course, in addition to this, most cultivators would master acquired divine abilities by learning cultivation methods to slay demons and monsters.

However, whether they were innate divine ability users or acquired divine ability users, cultivation methods were indispensable for becoming stronger.

"Before, Old Man Yun mentioned that I would receive a reward from the Demon Slaying Division for killing the demons in Huang Family Village."

"Perhaps then, I can use the merit gained from killing the demons in Huang Family Village to exchange for a cultivation method to practice..."

"Otherwise, this Demon Life Essence would be useless."

Just then, a gentle breeze drifted in through the room's window, and a voice directly reached Lu Jun's ears.

"Kid, quietly come to my room..."

Lu Jun raised an eyebrow, got up from the couch, and used Soaring Wind to float out the window and into Old Man Yun's room.

Inside the room.

Seeing Lu Jun float in through the window, Old Man Yun exclaimed, "Your Innate Divine Ability is truly useful. Normally, one needs to reach the Spirit Roaming Realm at the very least to achieve aerial flight."

"You can already do this just after Opening Acupoints. It can be said that below the Spirit Roaming Realm, your life is basically out of danger."

Lu Jun chuckled softly, displaying a composed demeanor.

"Senior Yun... you were looking for me?"

"Mm," Old Man Yun nodded, then gestured to the spot beside him and said, "Sit."

Lu Jun sat beside Old Man Yun.

"These past few days, Li Tuo and Yilin should have told you the common knowledge of cultivation."

"They've explained that we cultivators are collectively called 'Law Seekers,' and we cultivate through cultivation methods to strengthen our Spiritual Power."

"The cultivation realms are divided into Realm of Opening Acupoints, Realm of Heavenly Cycle, Realm of Spirit Sea, Realm of Dharma Aspect, Realm of Spirit Roaming, and Realm of Heaven and Man."

Old Man Yun nodded.

"Kid, you can be considered favored by the Heavenly Dao. Conventional cultivators need to cultivate a cultivation method and then deduce their own innate divine abilities. This process takes five to six years to break through to the Opening Acupoints Realm."

"As an Innate Divine Ability user, you didn't need to spend five to six years; you directly reached Opening Acupoints."

"Before, when you killed those demons, did you sense a warm current of energy around you?"

Lu Jun nodded, "It was that current of energy that made me feel not very tired during the process of killing them."

Old Man Yun continued, "That is True Qi, and it is also the foundation for us Law Seekers to use our Spiritual Power."

"One of the functions of a cultivation method is to sense it, strengthen it, nurture it, and control it. The second function is to evolve and enhance our Spiritual Power," Old Man Yun said.

"This time, for the Yellow Sand Weasels in Huang Family Village and the 'Misty Mirage' demon you killed, you are the primary contributor. Once you join the Demon Slaying Division, you'll have enough Merit Points to exchange for a decent cultivation method..."

Then, Old Man Yun suddenly smiled, "Of course, if you're in a hurry, I happen to have a few good cultivation methods. However, if you learn one of mine, you won't be able to exchange for one at the Demon Slaying Division later."

Lu Jun's eyes lit up.

He finally understood why Old Man Yun had called him over.

This was clearly giving him special treatment!

As one of the top figures in the Yunzhou Demon Slaying Division, Old Man Yun's collection of cultivation methods would undoubtedly be far superior to those in the Demon Slaying Division's library.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Old Man Yun smiled and gently waved his long robe.

Soon, three cultivation methods and a scroll were placed before Lu Jun.
