He arrived at the Armory without delay.

Li Xuanxiao immediately began selecting various precious blades.

The blades in the Armory were neatly arranged, clearly priced, with their grades and characteristics listed.

Iris Blade, Profound Realm Mid-grade. 240 Contribution Points.

This blade was elegant in appearance, yet exceptionally sharp! The hilt was carved with iris flower patterns. The blade was silver, smooth, and exquisite...

Asura Blade, Profound Realm Mid-grade, 300 Contribution Points.

The blade was dark black, emitting a deadly faint glow, with mysterious patterns appearing on its surface...

Nine Heavens Blade, Profound Realm Low-grade. 180 Contribution Points.

This blade was entirely silver, with faint golden patterns interwoven, looking very magnificent...

Sky Curtain Blade...

After looking through dozens of blades in one go, Li Xuanxiao felt overwhelmed and suffered from choice paralysis.

Li Xuanxiao chuckled self-deprecatingly, telling himself he didn't have choice paralysis, he was just poor.

If he had a lot of contribution points, he wouldn't be agonizing over this!

Weapons were a warrior's second life, so it was natural to pick good ones.

Li Xuanxiao didn't overthink it and chose the most expensive Asura Blade.

The Armory was also affiliated with the Demon Slayer Division, so there was no question of shortchanging customers when it came to weapons.

Truly, you got what you paid for!

In fact, there were even better blades available, such as a Profound Realm High-grade Fleeting Light Blade, which cost exactly 500 contribution points.

Li Xuanxiao could have afforded it.

But he didn't plan to spend all his contribution points on weapons; he still needed to exchange some for a flying technique.

He scanned his Jade Token on the special artifact at the Armory, and 300 contribution points were immediately deducted.

The restrictions on the Asura Blade were lifted, and Li Xuanxiao took it out.

He weighed it, and it was clearly much heavier than his previous Constable Blade.

And much better!

After all, it was a Profound Realm Mid-grade weapon; a thousand Constable Blades couldn't compare to it.

With the Asura Blade, his combat power would reach a new level!

When performing the same blade techniques and martial arts, the power would also greatly increase!

Li Xuanxiao, satisfied, sheathed the Asura Blade and turned towards the Technique Tower.

Going through the same process again, Li Xuanxiao finally settled on a Profound Realm flying technique – "Rainbow Light Travel."

This Profound Realm Mid-grade technique should have originally cost more, but due to its inherent special effects.

While the speed was fast, it was also exceptionally dazzling and too ostentatious.

It was neither suitable for tracking nor for escaping, which was why its price was reduced to only 200 contribution points for exchange.

Li Xuanxiao didn't care about that; speed was the most important thing.

And this flying technique excelled in speed, not even inferior to some Profound Realm High-grade flying techniques.

The cost-effectiveness was quite high!

He immediately scanned the code and acquired it!

Now that he had both weapons and techniques, everything was in order.

All he had to do was join the Demon Slayer Division, receive missions, and begin his journey of slaying demons and eradicating evil!

Li Xuanxiao didn't wait long. The day after submitting his application, the Jade Token given to him by the staff glowed slightly.

He fiddled with it a bit, and a voice immediately came out.

"Warrior Li Xuanxiao, hello! I am XXX, a staff member from the Recruitment Department of the Pei Province Branch of the Demon Slayer Division. Your application to join has been approved. Please report to the Mission Hall within three days..."

"Holy shit!"

Li Xuanxiao let out a curse, remembering his miserable past life.

It was terrifying!

Taking a deep breath, Li Xuanxiao comforted himself that times were different now.

Even if he was an employee, he was now a high-level employee!

He immediately got up and headed to the Mission Hall.

Just as Si Miaoyin had said, the Mission Hall was indeed the most relaxed and least regulated place among the eight halls of the Demon Slayer Division.

The person who received him simply handed him a set of Demon Slayer Division standard warrior uniforms and an identity Jade Token.

Then, after briefly explaining some points to note, they left.

Dressed in the standard uniform of the Demon Slayer Division, Li Xuanxiao stood before the Mission Hall, feeling a momentary sense of disorientation.

I've joined just like that?

Glancing at the Jade Token in his hand, which bore the words "Mission Hall," Li Xuanxiao curled his lip.

Whatever!

I'll just take missions and kill!

With 360 Demon Points remaining, Li Xuanxiao spent 100 to learn the basics of "Rainbow Light Travel."

His Demon Points dropped to 260, and he was broke again.

Moreover, none of the Profound Realm techniques he was currently practicing had reached the Sublimity Realm.

He had to acquire more Demon Points as quickly as possible!

Having made up his mind, Li Xuanxiao immediately began selecting missions from the Mission Hall's handbook.

Hundred Mile Peak, Rime Ice Plains, Golden Dragon Ridge

Profound Realm demon threats, Apex Realm great demons, Profound Realm Demon Kings…

Various locations and realms of demons awaited Li Xuanxiao's selection, leaving him momentarily dazzled.

After some thought, Li Xuanxiao found his direction.

First, it had to be Profound Realm Demon Kings!

Only demons of this level could provide a substantial amount of Demon Points and contribution points.

Next, the locations needed to be as close as possible; he couldn't afford to spend too much time traveling.

Finally, it would be best to take on multiple missions at once.

And the mission locations shouldn't be too far apart from each other, for the same reason.

This way, he could accumulate contribution points and Demon Points with maximum efficiency!

With the criteria set, selection became much faster.

Soon, Li Xuanxiao chose three missions.

Three Profound Realm Demon Kings!

And their locations were not far from each other.

"Excellent!"

Li Xuanxiao accepted the missions directly and registered at the Mission Hall.

The staff member responsible for registration gave him a surprised look.

"Are you sure you want to take on three Profound Realm missions simultaneously?"

Li Xuanxiao nodded.

The staff member said no more.

After explaining some precautions, they completed the registration for him.

After collecting his missions, Li Xuanxiao walked straight out of the Mission Hall. Activating Rainbow Light Travel, he instantly shot up into the sky!

Heading straight for the mission locations!

Not far outside Valiant Lion City, a Profound Realm tiger demon had made a mountain its domain.

Over the years, it had killed countless passing martial artists and had repeatedly attempted to attack the city.

Fortunately, the city was close to the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division, and a Profound Realm martial artist from the division was stationed there to guard it. Otherwise, the city's inhabitants would have long since become food for demons.

On this day, the Profound Realm tiger demon, having preyed upon countless martial artists, found its realm had advanced once more.

It led dozens of its offspring and came out to cause trouble again, roaring outside the city.

The Profound Realm martial artist of the Demon Slayer Division stationed there immediately rose into the air, looking down at the tiger demon below.

He frowned, keenly sensing that the opponent's realm seemed to have improved again, and his heart sank slightly.

It was much easier for demons to advance their realms than for human martial artists.

By consuming rare heavenly treasures, other demons, or…

By consuming human martial artists!

Human martial artists were the best cultivation elixirs for demons.

And the higher their realm, the greater the benefit to cultivation after consumption!

The tiger demon looked at the Demon Slayer Division martial artist standing in the air, its scarlet tongue flicking out.

If it could devour him, its realm would advance another level!

Not only that, but the numerous martial artists within the city would all become food for its offspring!

Thinking this, the tiger demon's eyes revealed even more greed.

Now that its cultivation had progressed further, would this human martial artist still be its opponent?
