Pure Addiction Grand

Two days' journey.

Lu Jun had finally arrived within Yunzhou's borders.

And also, finally, at the entrance to the Demon Slaying Division...

That's right, the very entrance.

It was beyond Lu Jun's expectations.

He had assumed it would be built in the city center, as the most prominent department. He hadn't expected the Yunzhou Demon Slaying Division to be located deep within the mountains.

As if sensing Lu Jun's surprise, Old Man Yun spoke up to explain, "When we Law Seekers cultivate or use Spiritual Power, the commotion can be quite significant. It's bound to disturb the lives of Yunzhou's residents. Moreover, the city is cramped and densely populated, so we built the Yunzhou headquarters of the Demon Slaying Division here in Yun Mountain for convenience in cultivation."

"Of course, there is a branch office in Yunzhou City. The mountain headquarters is high up and far away, so information can easily become isolated. Therefore, most intelligence is compiled by the city branch before being handed over to the headquarters."

Lu Jun nodded, finding the arrangement quite reasonable.

He looked up at the dense clouds covering Yun Mountain and marvelled.

This Yun Mountain truly lived up to its name. Even though it was only autumn, having just passed the Frost Descent and not yet reached early winter, looking afar, the mountain was already covered by thick, dense clouds.

"Let's head up the mountain," Old Man Yun called out, gently patting the side of the white horse he was riding.

With the clatter of hooves, the four of them followed the winding path up the mountain.

For the first half of the mountain path, Lu Jun didn't see many people.

It wasn't until the latter half, as they entered the deep mountains, that people gradually became more numerous.

Many people respectfully greeted Old Man Yun upon seeing him.

Li Tuo also explained to Lu Jun, "Old Man Yun is a Golden Robe. Generally, each state will have three Golden Robes stationed there, equivalent to three Golden Robes jointly managing all the Demon Slayer Envoys in the state."

"Then there are the Prefects for each Prefecture, with one Commander assigned to each. Further up are the Prefects and Grand Executioners."

"There are only four Prefects, each stationed in a strategically important location. The Grand Executioners are stationed at the Imperial City in Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Our Tiannan Province is not on the border and doesn't have a particularly dangerous strategic position, so there isn't a Prefect stationed here. The highest-ranking official in the entire Tiannan Province is that one Commander."

Lu Jun nodded.

So, Old Man Yun's status was indeed high.

In the entire Tiannan Province, apart from that Commander, Old Man Yun, as a Golden Robe, was among the highest-ranking individuals.

Finally, they arrived at the entrance of the Demon Slaying Division.

Rather than being a department set up by the court to slay demons, it looked more like a Taoist temple for cultivation.

Both the architecture and facilities exuded a Taoist aura, with an immortal-like demeanor and profound charm, lacking any trace of a government establishment.

Old Man Yun instructed Li Tuo.

"Ah Tuo, take Ah Jun to get him registered as a probationary Demon Slayer Envoy, and also arrange his accommodation."

Li Tuo nodded.

Li Tuo led Lu Jun to receive his waist token and uniform, registered his information, and then brought Lu Jun to a courtyard.

He then said with a smile, "You can stay in my courtyard. It just so happens that I'm the only one living here."

Lu Jun nodded, not refusing.

He had a basic understanding of Li Tuo's personality over these past few days.

He was a bit boisterous but hearty, straightforward, and warm-hearted. He seemed like a good person to befriend.

And his family background also seemed extraordinary.

Being brought along by a Golden Robe for training and having a courtyard to himself within the Demon Slaying Division... it all seemed unusual.

Seeing Lu Jun agree, Li Tuo's eyes revealed a hint of elation.

Li Tuo had some ulterior motives.

His feelings towards Lu Jun were complex, a mixture of respect and fear.

He had witnessed Lu Jun's strength firsthand. Although he had only recently started cultivating, he was clearly far superior to him. Lu Jun had single-handedly slaughtered a village of demons, harbored a deep hatred for evil, and would attack any demon he encountered.

Furthermore, his talent was incredibly heaven-defying. Innate Spiritual Power users were already rare prodigies.

Later, when Lu Jun was on missions, he could also piggyback on his achievements, complete his father's mission quota sooner, and return to Jingzhao Prefecture earlier.

"Now that I've joined, can I go hunt demons?" Lu Jun's eyes were eager, gleaming with excitement.

With the intelligence from the Demon Slaying Division, he wouldn't have to search the world for demons anymore. How wonderful.

Lu Jun couldn't wait any longer.

The thought that there were still demons in this world enjoying their lives carefree made him feel as if ants were crawling all over him!

Li Tuo shivered involuntarily, regretting for a moment bringing Lu Jun to live with him.

Li Tuo then introduced to Lu Jun.

"Lu Jun, you are still just a reserve member. You still need to participate in the formal assessment to join the Demon Slaying Division, accept a rank and position, and then the division will assign tasks to you based on your strength."

"This is also to reduce unnecessary casualties among Demon Slayer Envoys, as every Law Seeker is an indispensable treasure to the world."

Lu Jun said, "Then what are we waiting for? The assessment..."

Not my bro!

So eager?

You just got back!

Besides, didn't you kill a zombie two days ago?

That addicted!

Li Tuo paused, then replied, "Uh... there's a time limit for this assessment. It's held on the 'Shuo' and 'Wang' days of each month (the first and fifteenth of every month). Today is the ninth, so the next assessment is in six days."

Why is it the same time as when Huang Family Village worshipped the 'Huang Pi Dao Master'? Why schedule it for such a lousy time!

Lu Jun thought for a moment and felt he couldn't just sit around and wait.

Every day he slacked off, a demon would be living happily and joyfully in this world.

Lu Jun couldn't stand it.

Suddenly, Lu Jun had an idea and asked, "Can higher-ranking Demon Slayer Envoys take lower-ranking ones with them on missions for experience?"

Li Tuo nodded, "Yes, just like when the Golden Robe took us to Huang Family Village for experience..."

"Although we didn't kill any demons in the end, and you killed them all, it was still experience." Of course, Li Tuo didn't say the latter part out loud.

Lu Jun's eyes flashed.

"Then it's simple. You accept the mission, and we'll go kill demons together! During the whole process, the contribution points are yours, and the demon heads are mine! How about it?"

Li Tuo's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of that!"

Not my bro, so generous!

This is letting me earn money while lying down!

Indeed, bringing Lu Jun to be my neighbor is the most correct decision I've ever made.

Lu Jun, this person is truly a marvel!

He doesn't want contribution points, he's just incredibly addicted, he just likes killing demons, tormenting demons, and watching them writhe in agony as they die.

And the key is, this guy's combat power is ridiculously strong, he can basically slaughter his way through Bronze Envoy missions.

Thinking of this, Li Tuo still felt a little embarrassed, "How about, we split it three and seven, you take seven, I take three..."

"Stop whining, let's go now!" Lu Jun directly interrupted Li Tuo.

He grabbed the other man and ran towards the mission area.
