Water Spirit Pill

The morning sun filtered through the window frame, casting its light upon the bed inside.

Fang Mu woke up, securely locked the doors and windows, and left a clone at home to protect Fang Jing before heading to the Demon Slayer Division.

After the intense battle last night, he realized even more the importance of strength.

The wounds on his back had already healed and scabbed over. This was the benefit he'd gained from consuming pills to nourish his body during this period.

The two men in black from last night were likely Demon Slayer Envoys from the Mission Hall.

They must have gotten some inside information about him from somewhere and intended to rob and kill him.

Although this was the County Office, there were plenty of schemes involving robbery and murder. As long as it was done without a trace, no one would investigate.

As the saying goes, dead men tell no tales, and no one would seek justice for a few corpses.

Soon, Fang Mu arrived at the Demon Slaying Hall. The Chief Demon Slayer Envoy who had assigned tasks was currently calling out names and assigning missions to the Demon Slayer Envoys.

"I thought you wouldn't dare to come today and I'd have to send someone to fetch you!"

As soon as Fang Mu stepped into the main hall of the Demon Slayer Division, he heard Tu Qing's sarcastic remark.

"Hand over the demon capturing bags. I'll finish them all at once so I can go back to sleep."

"Fine! Straightforward! I'm starting to like you more and more."

"I don't like men."

Taking the several demon capturing bags from Tu Qing's hand, Fang Mu turned and left with a face full of anger.

"You scoundrel! Ungrateful wretch!"

Sun Hou, Tu Qing's sycophantic subordinate, immediately jumped up and yelled.

"Hmph! Let him be. I want to see how long he can last," Tu Qing sneered.

Tu Qing turned and headed for the door. As he reached the entrance, He looked at Sun Hou, who was following him, and instructed, "You stay here and keep an eye on him. Don't let him find an excuse to slip away. He's not allowed to sleep tonight until he finishes dealing with the demons."

"Yes! Brother Qing, don't worry, I'll keep a close watch on him."

After leaving the main hall of the Demon Slayer Division, Fang Mu's face showed a hint of a smile as he entered the prison.

Looking at the six demon capturing bags in his hand, he felt a sense of anticipation, wondering what good things he would get this time.

Among the six demon capturing bags Tu Qing had given him this time, there were three four-star bags, two five-star bags, and one six-star bag.

Fang Mu couldn't help but curse inwardly, feeling that Tu Qing had actually gone to great lengths to set him up.

Following the chain bridge, he arrived at the four-star dungeon. He inserted the Demon Slayer token into the keyhole and turned it. A rumbling sound came from the black stone wall.

As the prison gate slowly opened on its own, Fang Mu entered.

After walking into the inner prison, Fang Mu cautiously scanned the surroundings with his black pupils.

After ensuring it was safe, he released the demons from the four-star demon capturing bag.

Scanning his surroundings vigilantly was Fang Mu's habit. He had many secrets, and if they were discovered, it could lead to great disaster.

The demons in the three four-star demon capturing bags were all the same: three fish demons. He wondered where they had been captured.

The fish demons clearly lacked much intelligence and attacked him madly upon seeing him.

Fang Mu naturally wouldn't be polite. He drew his blades, spears, swords, and halberds, and attacked the three fish demons.

The three fish demons weren't very skilled, but they relied on their fish scale defense to fight Fang Mu to a standstill.

Of course, it wasn't that Fang Mu's strength was insufficient, but rather that he had lost too much vital energy last night.

His body was still somewhat weak now, which was why he couldn't suppress the three fish demons.

Fang Mu activated his Charm Eye Technique, easily causing the three fish demons to enter a dazed state.

After swinging the giant axe on the rack and chopping repeatedly, he finally dealt with the fish demons.

A golden light flashed, and the three fish demons dissolved into a pool of blood.

Fang Mu did not attempt to strip the valuable items from them.

He had figured out the pattern after using the Demon Refining Mirror for a while.

Only when the demon's corpse is intact and the most valuable items on the demon are refined can the Demon Refining Mirror produce good things.

Water Spirit Pill, refined from the fish demons' essence blood. After consuming and refining it, one could gain the ability to breathe underwater and control some water-based powers.

Low-grade Essence Blood Pill, smelted from the fish demons' essence blood. Consuming it could enhance vital energy and nourish the body.

Looking at the two pills that appeared in his hand, Fang Mu was a little surprised that there was no Essence Pill this time.

However, refining a Water Spirit Pill made Fang Mu extremely delighted.

Without any hesitation, he swallowed both pills together.

The pills melted in his mouth, integrating into his limbs and bones, continuously cleansing his skin, membranes, and flesh.

Ordinary Essence Blood Pills were no longer able to help Fang Mu cleanse his meridians and marrow; they could only enhance his vital energy.

After the Water Spirit Pill was refined, Fang Mu didn't feel anything significant.

He looked at the blood water refined from the fish demon not far away, and suddenly felt as if he could control it.

Hesitantly, Fang Mu slowly raised his palm and found that the pool of blood water suddenly moved.

Under his mental control, it transformed into a swimming blood-colored rope.

Fang Mu was full of surprise, thinking to himself, "Is this what it's like to grasp a portion of water-element power? To control water?"

Controlling the blood water to perform various attacks, Fang Mu realized that although he could control water with his mind.

He could only do so within a range of about ten meters from him. If it was too far, he couldn't control it.

With a face full of joy, Fang Mu left the four-star dungeon and descended to the five-star dungeon.

He was looking forward to seeing what good things the demons in the five-star dungeon would bring him.

However, to Fang Mu's disappointment, the two demons released from the five-star dungeon did not drop anything good.

Those two demons were extremely powerful, and it took him all his might to finally eliminate them one by one.

The Demon Refining Mirror only refined one intermediate Essence Blood Pill and one intermediate Essence Pill.

The intermediate pills were quite helpful to Fang Mu.

After refining the intermediate Essence Blood Pill, Fang Mu's depleted Blood Essence was replenished, and his physical body was further strengthened.

Arriving at the six-star empty dungeon, Fang Mu felt the abundant Blood Essence within his body and finally decided to continue slaying demons.

As the demon capturing bag flew up, a ball of green light appeared inside the dungeon.

Fang Mu frowned as he looked at the ball of green light. It cowered in the corner of the dungeon, trembling all over, looking terrified and frightened.

It was a strange melon, the size of a watermelon, with facial features and vine-like tentacles.

"Is this a plant demon?"

Looking at the somewhat cute-looking fruit, Fang Mu was a bit stunned.

"What are you?"

Seeing that the plant demon seemed harmless, Fang Mu curiously asked.

"Xixi Melon!"

The trembling plant demon could actually speak human language, which greatly surprised Fang Mu.

"But you say you're a watermelon? Do you think I've never seen a watermelon before?"

Fang Mu muttered to himself, then snorted, "Nonsense, I eat watermelons often, and they don't look like you."

"Don't... don't eat me!"

Seeing the terrified, trembling plant demon, Fang Mu was speechless. He thought to himself, "Does this guy really need a six-star demon capturing bag?"

"Speak properly, why were you captured?"

Startled by Fang Mu's raised voice, the plant demon was on the verge of tears. It slowly extended its tentacles towards Fang Mu.

Seeing the approaching tentacles, Fang Mu became vigilant.

But he couldn't sense any killing intent from the plant demon, so he didn't act rashly.

When the tentacles touched his palm, Fang Mu was greatly alarmed.

His entire body suddenly went numb, and he lost control of his body.

Just as Fang Mu thought he had been ambushed and was about to struggle to fight back.

Fuzzy images filled his mind, flashing through various scenes like a movie.
