Six Months of Accumulation / Vampires?

Lu Jun's spirits lifted, and in a daze, he saw a magnificent moon-white gate, with mysterious patterns carved into it, resembling the markings of countless beasts.

Then his five senses soared, and as if his Soul Evasion left his body, he leaped out of it.

Chapter 152 Half a Year of Settlement

Lu Jun's senses were extraordinary; his soul boarded a drop tower and, as if ascending to heaven, vanished in the blink of an eye into that endless, moon-white sacred gate.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the Dimensional Gate for Summoning System.

Immediately, he passed through the black Void Channel, as if through a dark, narrow cave, and suddenly a paradise appeared.

A brand new continent appeared before their eyes, vast and boundless, with towering skies and a rich magical energy that surpassed even the real world.

The Summoning Plane was like a mirage, right in front of Lu Jun yet actually far away, like a dream, a bird's-eye view of the vast world.

They are independent of each other and exist in different times and spaces, but they happen to converge at this point, allowing their spiritual will to interfere with the Summoning Plane.

"It's quite amazing; perhaps we could learn a thing or two from Mind Element Soul Evasion."

Lu Jun experienced something new and noticed that the moon-white stardust in his Spiritual World was rapidly dimming and his magical energy was being consumed rapidly. He realized that his time was very limited.

If he fails to capture a suitable Demon Beast and imprint the Contract Imprint, it means the summoning has failed.

However, Lu Jun was not in a hurry at all. He planned to take his time to choose. Each summon was just a chance to draw cards. He could spend half a year drawing cards and get the right Summoned Beast.

Buzz buzz buzz!

With a thought, he traversed ten thousand meters, rapidly passing through this plane, leaving countless living beings and the boundless earth behind in his mind, a sense of carefree ease rising within him.

Roar, woof...

The mountains stretch across the land, rising thousands of feet into the clouds. Lush, verdant forests cover the mountains, and ancient, vigorous trees stand tall.

Beasts galloped and fought each other, Demon Beast roared, shaking mountains and rivers, ancient trees trembled, and leaves fell in disarray.

Before long, he saw a group of Servant-level Demon Beast. He targeted one of them, and with his mind, he descended to try to capture it, transforming it into a Fortified iron chain that bound it.

The Ghost Wolf Beast's expression froze, its spirit easily destroyed by him; he could form a contract with it immediately if it wanted to.

However, Lu Jun gave up. He retracted the steel-like rope of will and flew into the sky. He looked down on the Ghost Wolf Beast, a mere Servant-level Demonic Beast.

The wolf-like Demon Beast on the spot shuddered, their eyes filled with fear, and they quickly ran away.

Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought; it seemed that even Servant-level were no match for his capture.

After that, he set his sights on a ferocious General-level behemoth, a rocky body over ten meters tall, like a small giant, which was none other than the Elemental Demon Rock General.

When Lu Jun's mental steel ring was placed on it, the powerful Stone Giant struggled but was unable to break free. It soon fell into a deep sleep, allowing itself to be kneaded and manipulated.

He eventually gave up, which was perfectly reasonable.

After more than ten minutes of experimentation, Lu Jun discovered that he could easily capture any Demon Beast below the General-level, but was somewhat weak against Advancement Period warrior generals.

However, if it's at its peak and has an Intermediate Level Summoning System, it should be able to subdue it after a prolonged struggle.

Moments later, Lu Jun felt a strong attraction from the sky. He could not maintain his mental focus and was instantly sucked away, his soul experiencing a strong sense of falling.

When he opened his eyes, he had already returned to his body, and the tiny crescent-shaped stardust in his Spiritual World had dimmed.

The Summoning System mana is depleted.

He could sense that with his own mental strength, he wasn't exhausted and could stay for a while longer; it was just that his Summoning System couldn't hold up.

"That's right. If my cultivation level were to improve a little more, I could even covet creatures with higher bloodlines."

After this experiment, Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction. He glanced at his watch; the teacher's class was about to begin. He went back to Mingzhu to study and, incidentally, to share some good news.

Before we knew it, several months had passed.

After Lu Jun advanced to the advanced level, his strength entered a period of explosive growth. He then went into a period of quiet reflection, spending his days rapidly absorbing various kinds of knowledge and turning it into nourishment.

He mastered high-level Water Element stars, learned formation techniques, steadily improved his Summoning System and Space Element, and under the careful guidance of his forbidden spell master, continuously enhanced his elemental control, advancing towards the realm of magic, leaving no stone unturned.

Then I would occasionally take on a few small tasks to accumulate funds.

When Dean Xiao learned that he had become High-Order Mage, he was indeed overjoyed for a whole month and treated his students with great warmth.

However, for Lu Jun's safety, he did not announce it, keeping it to himself for a long time, unable to boast to those principals, which he found quite regrettable.

The first semester of his sophomore year was drawing to a close, and Mo Fan had been enrolled for half a year. He participated in various monster-hunting missions, gained experience, and his strength improved rapidly. Like a rocket, he reached the Intermediate Level Four Elements not long after the start of the semester.

The other party is about to take the Main Campus exam and be admitted to the Fire Institute.

Mo Fan hasn't used his seven-day, Three Step Tower cultivation opportunity yet. He probably plans to accumulate his cultivation to its limit before going in to make a final push, hoping to create an Intermediate Level, top-tier Magic System in one go.

Entering the Main Campus with a high profile is very helpful for ranking.

Having learned of the various rumors surrounding Lu Jun, he naturally refused to be outdone and decided to follow suit.

Of course, due to the pressure from the Black Vatican, Mo Fan had no choice but to use the Three Step Tower ahead of schedule, which caused changes in the plan and resulted in significant losses.

Now that Lu Jun has cleared out the Black Vatican ahead of time, a similar situation should not occur again, and it is normal for his cultivation to surpass the Original Timeline's progress.

The Black Vatican has been much more active across the country recently, presumably to attract government attention, create confusion, and prepare for Operation Ancient Capital.

At the same time, Lu Jun, who had been in seclusion for half a year, felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck and wanted to come out of seclusion to hone his cultivation.

The main reason was that the 'Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency' received a rare and large order, Lu Mei, the older sister, had her eye on it and asked him to go with her. Leng Qing himself, as the Chief Judge, could not work with Lu Mei for an extended period of time.

Coincidentally, Lu Jun himself had perfect mastery Water Element High-level Magic, and his stillness gave way to a desire for action.

In the higher realms, they are mages with extremely high social status, and they are the best in any industry. In the military, they are at the level of the Military Governor; in the Magic Association, they are Hunter Master; Chief Judge among hunters, they are hunter masters.

If I can close this deal, I'll easily get a promotion.

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu are not at Jinyuan Apartment; they've gone to school.

Lu Mei, dressed neatly with her hair in a ponytail, glanced at her younger brother as he returned and smiled, "Let's go. This time, the employer spent 30 million to issue this mission. If we complete this one, we'll have accumulated 100 million. My other Star River Vein will be just around the corner."

In the past six months, my sister has not stopped either, and her cultivation of the third element Fire Element, has reached the Intermediate Level peak.

Meanwhile, Lu Mei diligently went to the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency, the City Demon Hunting Squad, and the East Sea coast to hunt sword-fin Demon Beast. She worked tirelessly at these three locations, managing a staggering 70 million yuan in funds, making her a true workaholic.

Lu Jun didn't offer much help, only assisting her sister in hunting Sea Monster at the East Sea in her spare time; the rest was all earned by Lu Jun herself.

Lu Mei originally wanted to buy a Fire Element Spirit Seed, but he stopped her. He said that when they went to Dunhuang, they would have all kinds of Fire Element Spirit Seeds. The most urgent thing was to improve her cultivation, which was stuck in a bottleneck, and to break through the high-level barrier of the [Earth Element] element.

Chapter 153 Vampire?

Lu Mei and her brother drove themselves and slowly arrived at the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency.

At this moment, Lu Jun entered and found that everyone had arrived in the downstairs living room.

Inside Old Man Bao sat reading a newspaper, while outside, a cute little girl named Ling Ling with pigtails sat on a high stool, swinging her legs and rapidly typing on the keyboard, searching for something.

A short-haired, aloof woman leaned against the counter, her expression languid, her figure voluptuous and fit; she must be Ling Ling's older sister, Leng Qing.

Finally, there was Mo Fan, who stood casually behind Ling Ling, also staring at the computer screen.

As soon as the two entered, the people from the Demon Hunting Bureau all looked over.

Ling Ling blinked her big, sparkling eyes and greeted, "Sister Lu Mei is here?"

Hearing this, Lu Mei smiled and replied, "How has the little one been lately?"

Since she was promoted to a higher level last year, she has been going to the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency every day. After spending a long time with Ling Ling, she realized that she was a cute little girl and fell in love with her.

Of course, Ling Ling's repeated sincere apologies, coupled with the fact that she learned that Ling Ling's bad mood was due to the death of her father, the Cold Hunter King, added even more affection to her.

Lu Jun was quite taken aback; how did the two of them become so familiar?

But it's good, he figured that with this connection, he could bring up the matter of seeking help from the 'think tank' Ling Ling when hunting demons in the future.

The short-haired, mature woman Leng Qing, smiled faintly, approached, and affectionately put her arms around Lu Mei. She lowered her head and took a deep sniff of Lu Mei's dark hair, saying, "I don't have time to spend with you; I have to go on a mission soon."

"Who needs your company?" Lu Mei placed her hands on Leng Qing's slender waist, patted her plump buttocks with her devilish hand, and glanced at Lu Jun with her rosy face, saying, "I have my younger brother, that's enough."

Finally, the two parted ways. Leng Qing looked at Lu Jun with a playful expression. "Is it really just a younger brother?"

Before Lu Mei could even blush, she took the initiative to step forward and greet her, "Hello, Lu Ren Tu! I've heard of you; the Adjudication Court speaks highly of you."

Lu Jun smiled modestly and said, "Just an empty reputation."

On the other side, Mo Fan stared dumbfounded at the interaction between the group, exclaiming incredulously, "Holy crap, Lu Jun, you're also at the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency?"

"Wait a minute," he yelled, cursing, "Why are you everywhere?"

He stayed at the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency for half a year, but due to his limited strength, he only took small jobs from wealthy urbanites who came to him. Lu Mei, on the other hand, went through internal channels and had never met the wealthy mage clients.

Lu Jun turned to look at the other person, a teasing smile on his face, and said, "You should call me senior brother now."

"Get out of here," Mo Fan said disdainfully. "What are you doing here, taking orders?"

"Yes," Lu Jun countered, "What about you? Aren't you taking your assessment at the Main Campus right now?"

Mo Fan said with a worried look, "Sigh, this is what's troubling me. We need to find the Shadow Demon Beast Tamer in the city."

"You know me, I'm not afraid of fighting, but I'm afraid of these delicate tasks. That's why I came to find my hunter partner, Ling Ling."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun understood. The little girl beside him appeared expressionless at first glance, but her eyebrows were actually raised, indicating that she was quite pleased.

"Then good luck!"

He shook his head, looked at his sister, who had already said goodbye to Leng Qing, and smiled sweetly at him.

Soon, Mo Fan and Ling Ling found clues on the computer and rushed out of the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency.

Old Man Bao and his sister Lu Jun remained in the same spot.

The Old Man Bao then put down his newspaper and handed the task sheet to the two men.

Lu Jun picked it up and looked at it, then exclaimed in surprise, "Master Huo Tuo, the Magic Tool Master has offered a reward of thirty million for forging a high-level Magic Tool, finding traces of a vampire, and bringing back its fangs as evidence. This is..."

"An old friend of mine, having read some ancient book about urban Demon Beast legends, got carried away by his craftsman instincts and wanted to study the material properties of vampires to see what kind of Magic Tool he could make."

Old Man Bao glanced at it and explained, "He's been offering a reward for a while now, constantly telling me to keep an eye out."

Seeing this, Lu Jun seemed to understand something. He knew who this Huo Tuo was; he was just a minor character in the original story.

Six months later, Mo Fan hunted down a vampire, which helped Mo Fan forge a Xuan Snake Armor Magic Tool.

If he's not mistaken, this is the mission.

Vampires are Strange Person from the West, who have always lurked in the shadows of big cities, far surpassing the power of Scale Skin Female Demon and other Demon Beast.

The Strange Person is actually a collective term for beings that are half- Demon Beast and half-human, including vampires, werewolves, Mothman, and even Medusa Demon Mo Fan.

They operate in the gray area, committing crimes and treating ordinary humans like livestock to be kept in captivity. All the city's rulers are well aware of this, yet they are powerless to deal with it.

Lu Jun continued to dig into the relevant memories and discovered a blind spot. His expression became serious. The original text did not delve deeper into this line of events.

The vampire of the Great General level that Mo Fan hunted down was merely a discarded pawn of a vampire family.

Mo Fan was very smart. He only pursued the ringleader. If he continued, he would probably die without knowing why, because there was definitely more than one Commander-level standing behind him.

The crucial point is that, as Lu Jun recalls his memories, he discovers that the vampire affair is subtly connected to Ding Yumian! What exactly is going on?

Beside her, Lu Mei, the older sister, frowned as she read the employment contract. "The employer has no information at all. Are they expecting us to search for a needle in a haystack? It's hard for us to judge whether this kind of task is worthwhile."

"I do have other information here."

Fortunately, Old Man Bao produced another file.

The two women flipped through the documents, and the older sister, Lu Mei, frowned even more deeply, her pretty face filled with anger. She put down a stack of documents and said angrily, "So many people have died."

Lu Jun had seen all sorts of cases involving women disappearing late at night, as well as cases of accidental death.

All autopsy reports showed that most sudden deaths caused by underlying medical conditions appeared to be perfectly normal.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that these women encompass various types, including lolis, teenage girls, mature women, and young wives, all sharing the common trait of being healthy and beautiful.

The four keywords—woman, beauty, health, and sudden death—are all connected in a way that feels off.

Lu Mei had initially considered the cost-effectiveness, but after seeing the tragic scenes in the photos, she couldn't help but empathize with the situation.

It should be noted that she was also a beautiful woman who had encountered many lewd glances and was well aware of the dangers of walking alone at night.

Now that an opportunity has presented itself, and it's a paid task, it's worth trying to solve it.
