Martial Path Fourth Realm!

As the staff watched in surprise, he returned the mission.

He happily received 50 Contribution Points!

Only then did Li Xuanxiao realize what a significant gift Lord Liu Gelin had given him.

The other party truly thought highly of him. While they had intentions of recruiting him, they were also willing to invest.

If he were to acquire 500 Contribution Points at this rate, he would have to take on 30 missions at once!

Or perhaps take on over ten higher-level missions.

The time required would be calculated in years!

However, after a moment's thought, Li Xuanxiao understood.

He had been completely blinded by the abundant resources of the Demon Slayer Division.

After all, if one didn't join the Demon Slayer Division, these Profound Realm cultivation techniques and martial arts, along with weapons.

Even a single one of them could be considered a treasure that a martial arts sect would use to guard its lineage!

Yet here, they could be directly exchanged for Contribution Points.

Thinking about it this way, it was quite normal for Contribution Points to be difficult to obtain.

He had roughly learned from other martial artists how many Contribution Points corresponded to different mission levels.

Apex Realm missions were roughly: 3-5.

Profound Realm missions were roughly: 10-30.

Missions at the Profound Realm or higher were almost nonexistent in the Mission Hall.

After all, the martial artists of the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division were mainly at the Apex Realm and Profound Realm levels.

Only the General and the eight Hall Masters below him were above the Profound Realm.

But individuals of that caliber received missions directly from the headquarters above.

How many Contribution Points they received was something only they themselves knew.

Li Xuanxiao chuckled lightly, feeling no dissatisfaction.

There was plenty of time ahead, and he would eventually accumulate a considerable amount of Contribution Points to exchange for more cultivation techniques and martial arts.

Now, he was just waiting for news from the Patrol Hall, and he was very much looking forward to this demon-slaying operation.

Firstly, it would allow him to verify the power of the Buddhist teachings he had learned.

Secondly, the demons this time were clearly powerful. After slaying them, he would be able to obtain a considerable amount of Demon Points!

Moreover, since he had solved such a troublesome problem for a Hall Master, the other party would clearly not treat him poorly!

At that time, it would likely be another large influx of Contribution Points!

It was much faster and more cost-effective than him taking missions to kill demons!

Killing three birds with one stone!

A great profit with no loss!

Li Xuanxiao's lips curved slightly as he walked out of the Mission Hall.

However, he was stopped by a martial artist from the Patrol Hall: "May I ask if you are Lord Li Xuanxiao?"

Li Xuanxiao nodded: "Just call me Li Xuanxiao!"

The martial artist immediately bowed: "Lord Li Xuanxiao, thank you for saving my brother."

Your brother?

Li Xuanxiao thought for a moment and immediately understood: "That Inspector is your brother?"

The martial artist nodded: "If it weren't for you, my brother would surely have ended up like the other Inspectors..."

"My brother and I will remember this kindness forever."

"Lord Li, if you ever need anything from us brothers in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. We will definitely not refuse!"

"Thank you again."

The martial artist bowed once more, gratitude evident in his eyes.

"We are all colleagues in the Demon Slayer Division, there's no need to be so formal."

Li Xuanxiao immediately helped the man up as he was about to bow again.

"Oh, right, Lord Li Xuanxiao, my brother has already woken up."

"The Hall Master sent me to invite you over. Please follow me!"

So soon!?

Li Xuanxiao nodded and followed him to the main hall of the Patrol Hall.

In the main hall, besides the Hall Master and the surviving Inspector, There were also a man and a woman, two martial artists in slightly different uniforms.

"These are the specific details. Hall Master, please dispatch at least three martial artists at Profound Realm level six or higher..."

"When those demons cooperate, they can unleash strength far exceeding their individual might!"

"If they are below Profound Realm level six, they'll have almost no power to resist that demonic technique!"

The Patrol Hall Master listened silently, nodded, and said, "You go down and rest well. Leave the rest to us."

"Thank you for your hard work!"

That Inspector was immediately escorted away.

Seeing Li Xuanxiao, the Patrol Hall Master showed a slight smile. "You're here."

Li Xuanxiao bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Hall Master!"

"No need for formalities. You heard what was just said; this operation will be very dangerous..."

"But I still have to ask you to go along."

"Because only your Buddhist teachings can somewhat counter the demonic techniques."

"And if you get injured, only you can provide treatment."

The Patrol Hall Master paced slowly. "You are not a martial artist of my Patrol Hall, so I don't have the right to force you to do anything."

"You are not obligated to, but the situation is urgent, and I must compel you to go."

"Even if you are willing, I have indeed broken the rules."

"Therefore, besides giving you the mission rewards you deserve, I will also give you additional compensation!"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Li Xuanxiao pondered.

He currently lacked for nothing in terms of cultivation techniques or martial arts. Several of his Buddhist teachings were already quite sufficient at the Profound Realm level.

As for weapons, his current Asura Blade also perfectly suited his needs.

If there was anything he desperately wanted, it would only be...

Everything related to the next realm!

Cultivation techniques, martial arts, all sorts of information.

With this thought, he spoke aloud, "I wish to gain more understanding of the next realm. If possible, I hope to obtain cultivation techniques or martial arts above the Profound Realm."

"Hiss—"

The other two martial artists gasped.

This kid really dared to ask for the moon!

The Patrol Hall Master's expression remained calm. "I can tell you information related to the next realm, but regarding cultivation techniques and martial arts, I am powerless to fulfill that request."

Li Xuanxiao looked surprised. Did even the Hall Master lack the ability to procure cultivation techniques or martial arts above the Profound Realm?

Seeing Li Xuanxiao's expression, the Patrol Hall Master continued.

"The Martial Path has ten realms. The first three are: Profound, Apex, and Mystic."

"Throughout the entire Martial Path, the first three realms are equivalent to the early stage of the Martial Path."

"And from the fourth realm onwards, a martial artist is considered to have officially entered the middle stage of the Martial Path."

He glanced at Li Xuanxiao as he said this.

"A single word difference creates a world of difference!"

"The True Qi during the Apex Realm and Profound Realm will all be converted into more powerful True Essence."

"The martial artist's lifespan will also be greatly extended!"

"From this realm onwards, individuals truly begin to shed their mortal bodies and evolve towards higher stages of life!"

"And this realm is called..."

"Mystic Realm!"

Li Xuanxiao's heart was greatly shaken, firstly because he learned the name of the fourth realm of the Martial Path.

And secondly, because reaching the Mystic Realm could even increase one's lifespan!

This was truly the power of gods and spirits!

Finally, it felt like cultivation!

"My Pei Province Demon Slayer Division has hundreds of Profound Realm cultivation techniques and martial arts!"

"But for the Mystic Realm, we don't have a single one!"

"Therefore, I am powerless in this regard."

"If you want cultivation techniques or martial arts of a higher realm, you can only continuously improve yourself."

"Strive to be recruited by headquarters and go to the Royal City Demon Slayer Division."

"Only there can you find Mystic Realm cultivation techniques and martial arts."

"But if you simply wish to advance to the Mystic Realm, you don't necessarily have to practice Mystic Realm cultivation techniques..."

Li Xuanxiao's eyebrows shot up. Those words challenged his understanding.

To advance to the Mystic Realm without practicing Mystic Realm cultivation techniques?
