The entire Patrol Hall fell silent at first, then erupted into cheers!
"Holy crap!"
"It actually worked!"
"Good kid, you've got something!"
The gazes of many martial artists fell upon Li Xuanxiao, their shock unconcealed.
The two physicians looked as if they had seen a ghost.
This person was clearly just an ordinary martial artist, yet he had cultivated such an exquisite healing technique!
Recalling their previous doubts about Li Xuanxiao, they felt a flush of embarrassment mixed with their shock.
They had just declared themselves professionals and told Li Xuanxiao not to interfere.
But then, he had solved a problem that they, the professionals, couldn't.
It was a real slap in the face!
So awkward...
It seems they shouldn't underestimate anyone from now on; perhaps people really do have genuine skills!
Ling Yan's eyes widened. How infuriating!
When did this kid learn such a mystical martial art?
It could even cure this bizarre demonic technique!
Before, everyone said my cultivation talent was monstrous.
Now, even I, the monster, think he's the monster!
He glanced sideways at Si Miaoyin, only to find her eyes completely fixed on Li Xuanxiao.
A sense of defeat suddenly welled up, a feeling he had never experienced before.
A trace of a different kind of brilliance appeared in Si Miaoyin's beautiful eyes as she looked at Li Xuanxiao.
This guy always seemed to surprise people!
It had been like this ever since she first heard about Lord Li from others.
She thought he was a middle-aged uncle, but he turned out to be a handsome young man around her own age.
She thought he was in the late stage of the Apex Realm, but discovered he was in the Profound Realm.
She thought his mission would fail and he might even lose his life, but instead, he managed to kill a Profound Realm Third Layer demon king, a higher level than himself!
She thought his decision to join the Mission Hall was a descent into mediocrity, a waste of talent, but then he went and took on three Profound Realm missions...
And now this...
All these instances flashed through Si Miaoyin's mind.
Every time she thought she understood him better, she found it was only the tip of the iceberg.
Si Miaoyin blinked her beautiful eyes.
Li Xuanxiao, where exactly is your limit?
The expression on the Patrol Hall Master's face was equally remarkable.
The moment the lotus appeared, he shot up from his seat.
Even without understanding Buddhist teachings, he could feel the extraordinary nature of this martial art!
He walked over to the Inspector, who could practically be considered resurrected.
As his True Essence surged, he could clearly feel the other person's condition steadily improving, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Once the Inspector fully regained consciousness, he could inquire about the specific situation and formulate better combat plans and strategies.
Thank goodness for this kid!
He turned to look at Li Xuanxiao and nodded at him.
His usually stoic face held a hint of gratitude.
If not for him, his subordinate, the Inspector, would have certainly died.
Furthermore, the very fact of the entire unit being wiped out would have dealt a heavy blow to morale!
It would also increase the psychological pressure on other Inspectors during their patrols.
Now, everything was resolved.
Although only one Inspector was saved, the symbolic significance far outweighed the practical one.
At least others knew that even if they were afflicted, there was hope of being rescued, rather than simply waiting to die.
With this assurance, they would have more courage.
The resulting boost in morale was immeasurable!
Even Yang Zhiru, usually calm and refined, raised an eyebrow slightly at this moment.
Unlike others, he was a renowned veteran powerhouse, his vision and experience far beyond anyone else's!
That's why he could tell at a glance that what Li Xuanxiao was using was definitely a Buddhist sect's cultivation technique and martial art!
And its grade would be no lower than Profound Realm!
The solemnity and grandeur as his True Essence surged...
The Zen-like tranquility as lotuses bloomed...
The vibrant vitality it continuously emitted...
To achieve all this required a considerable level of comprehension of Buddhist teachings and years of immersion, only then could one reach such a level.
Buddhist teachings, unlike ordinary martial artists' cultivation techniques and martial arts, were a discipline that greatly emphasized comprehension and metaphysics.
If on the path of Buddhism, one lacked comprehension, lacked what they called "destiny."
Then even if you recited scriptures and chanted Buddha's name daily with infinite sincerity, you would only be wasting your time.
Conversely, those who had a connection with Buddha would advance by leaps and bounds in their cultivation, without any need to worry about side effects.
In short, it was a very special category of martial arts.
But precisely because of this, it was difficult to popularize and become mainstream.
However, such Buddhist teachings that emphasized metaphysical comprehension...
Li Xuanxiao had not only successfully cultivated them, but he seemed to have cultivated them quite well!
At the very least, the introductory stage could never achieve this.
It had to be at least Lesser Mastery, or even Greater Mastery!
Thinking this, it was truly shocking.
Not only in martial arts talent, but even in a niche field like Buddhist teachings, he could cultivate to such a degree.
This talent...
In any case, he had never seen a second person like this.
Could he truly be a genius?
Yang Zhiru's expression was calm, but the tea in his cup grew cold, yet he remained oblivious.
With that display, Li Xuanxiao had completely won over everyone present.
The Patrol Hall Master returned to the main seat and began to seriously consider the possibility of sending Li Xuanxiao to eliminate demons.
After a brief thought, he decided to wait until the Inspector woke up.
Only after understanding the specific situation of the demons could they make corresponding arrangements.
The meeting was immediately adjourned, allowing everyone to go about their business.
Li Xuanxiao followed everyone out of the hall, and many martial artists came to greet him.
"Lord Li is truly a young hero, possessing such profound attainments in Buddhist teachings!"
"Yes, even the Hall Master and Lord Yang found the demonic arts troublesome, yet Lord Li resolved them with ease!"
"As fellow colleagues in the Demon Slayer Division, we should interact more in the future!"
During their conversations, they frequently showed favor, and their address changed from "youngster" to "Lord Li."
So realistic, you people...
Li Xuanxiao's mouth twitched slightly as he politely responded.
After a lengthy exchange of pleasantries, Li Xuanxiao was finally able to break free.
Si Miaoyin teased from the side, "Tsk tsk tsk, Lord Li, you're quite popular, aren't you~"
Ling Yan snorted, but silently resolved to take on another Profound Realm-level mission.
"Greetings, Lord Miaoyin, Lord Ling Yan."
Li Xuanxiao approached Si Miaoyin and Ling Yan, immediately cupping his fists, "I dare not claim the title of 'Lord' in front of you two."
Ling Yan felt pleased; This kid is sometimes quite sensible!
Si Miaoyin, however, covered her mouth and chuckled. It was meant as teasing, so she asked, "Didn't you just accept three Profound Realm-level missions?"
"Why did you return so quickly?"
Li Xuanxiao was taken aback, "You mentioning it reminded me, I haven't gone back to turn in the missions yet!"
Ling Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Turn in missions? You completed all three of your Profound Realm-level missions?"
Si Miaoyin's beautiful eyes widened slightly, also looking at Li Xuanxiao.
She knew that he had killed a Profound Realm Third Layer Demon King, so she didn't doubt his strength.
But how long had it been since he accepted the missions and departed?
A little over a month?
Even excluding the travel time, this speed was too fast!
Those were three Profound Realm Demon Kings!
Even if she or Ling Yan were to act, it would take quite some effort.
Profound Realm Demon Kings aren't fools; when they realize they're outmatched, you might not be able to catch them if they decide to flee!
If they dive into mountains or lakes, they become as elusive as ghosts.
Even with good luck, it would generally take several days to kill one!
Li Xuanxiao nodded, not understanding why it was taking so long.
If it weren't for wanting to gain more Demon Points, he would have lingered around a bit longer.
He could have returned half a month earlier.
After all, killing an ordinary Profound Realm Demon King was just a matter of one strike for him.
Rainbow Light Travel approached rapidly, the Asura Blade was drawn, and then the demon's head hit the ground.
The "My Buddha Illuminates Seal" allowed him to detect demons from afar, greatly increasing his efficiency.
Unaware of their astonishment and confusion, Li Xuanxiao greeted them again and headed to the Mission Hall to turn in his task.
He left the two of them bewildered in the wind.
