Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art: I'm Fucking Furious

After leaving the blood-colored space, Jiang Li rubbed his brow.

He had originally thought that once he got rid of Yuan Li, the Undercover Contact Person, no one would know about his Undercover Identity. Now it seemed he had taken it for granted.

From what the Myriad Desire Demon Lord had said, this Inner Sect undercover agent definitely held no low status.

At the very least, they could not be an Inner Sect Disciple.

Otherwise, they would have had no ability to give him a push.

More likely, they were someone like an Inner Sect elder.

An existence of that level was, at minimum, at the Golden Core stage.

He could not get rid of them yet.

Fortunately.

His killing of Yuan Li had not aroused any suspicion. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect had even allowed him to take Yuan Li's place and become the new contact person.

That was a good thing.

It showed that his value in the Myriad Desire Demon Lord's eyes had grown greater.

Though he was plotting with a tiger, and one wrong step would send him plunging into an abyss ten thousand fathoms deep, in the end... it was not certain who the tiger would be.

With that thought.

Jiang Li examined the undercover intelligence recorded within the blood-colored token.

As the newly appointed Undercover Contact Person, he naturally needed to know the list of undercover agents lurking within the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land.

"Two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, five mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and one at the peak of Qi Refining. Damn, they've hidden themselves deeply."

Jiang Li was astonished.

It seemed the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was planning some major operation against the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land.

After all.

Including the seven early-stage Qi Refining disciples he had killed, as well as that person in the Inner Sect, there were already sixteen undercover agents lying in wait.

And Devil Dao Sects similar to the Yin Puppet Sect were also planting undercover agents.

Was the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land some irresistible delicacy?

Everyone wanted a piece of it.

Jiang Li put away the blood-colored token.

He committed the information on those eight lurking undercover agents to memory.

Whenever his cultivation method, the "Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art," lacked resources, he would start with this lot.

The next day.

Jiang Li arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall.

It was as noisy as ever.

Heads bobbed through the crowd, and the place was bustling with activity.

Teams recruiting members, people seeking tasks while offering their skills, bounties being posted—every sort of situation could be found there.

Jiang Li stood among the crowd as well.

He leafed through the sect tasks, large and small.

Plant spirit herbs, 3 contribution points, pass.

Deliver a letter, 5 contribution points, pass.

Care for spirit beasts, 10 contribution points, pass.

Eliminate bandits, 30 contribution points, pass.

Jiang Li was dumbfounded.

The rewards for these tasks were far too low, weren't they?

And tasks like these probably would not even make the "Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art" react.

He had intended to raise the cultivation progress of his Qi Refining Method while earning contribution points.

Qi refining and body refining, both blooming at once.

Just then.

A voice as crisp as silver bells rang beside Jiang Li's ear.

"Eh? Jiang Li, Jiang Li, we're over here."

Jiang Li's expression froze.

He did not even need to turn around to know who that voice belonged to.

He turned sideways.

Sure enough, two graceful figures were walking in through the Law Enforcement Hall's entrance.

They were Murong Qing and Li Xi.

Seriously.

Were these two really that free? How could he run into them everywhere?

Jiang Li grumbled inwardly.

He pretended not to hear.

But Li Xi had already jogged over. She playfully patted Jiang Li on the back, revealing her adorable dimples. "Jiang Li, we were just about to look for you. I have a gift for you."

At those words.

The crowd instantly erupted.

Who the hell was this bastard?

How had he gotten such an adorable junior sister to prepare a gift for him?

Jiang Li was baffled.

A gift?

At that moment.

Murong Qing also walked over lightly. She glanced at the sect tasks Jiang Li had been browsing and immediately understood. "If you want tasks with some difficulty, you need to go to the inner hall. That's where the enforcers' task area is. Come with me."

Jiang Li suddenly understood.

So that was it.

No wonder the tasks here had seemed a little too simple.

They were basically the sort that cultivators below mid-stage Qi Refining could accept.

He had been looking in the wrong place.

Without hesitation.

Jiang Li followed Murong Qing away.

Watching this scene.

Countless disciples voiced the most venomous thoughts in their hearts: Male by sex, male by preference. Please, let him not like women. Let him be impotent.

He really deserved to die.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Li naturally had no idea that this group had conceived such vicious thoughts. On the way to the inner hall, he asked curiously, "Why are you two here as well?"

Li Xi answered, raising a hand. "Qingqing needs merits to exchange for a heaven-and-earth spiritual treasure, so I came with her. Don't underestimate us. We're mid-rank enforcers, very impressive."

This time, Jiang Li was genuinely surprised.

He had learned that becoming a mid-rank enforcer required completing ten demon-slaying operations.

The operation to wipe out the Yin Puppet Sect's secret stronghold was the reference standard.

One needed to participate in ten operations of that level and make contributions in them before having a chance to become a mid-rank enforcer.

"Impressive."

Jiang Li praised them.

Li Xi broke into a delighted smile, clearly pleased by Jiang Li's praise.

Before long.

As if she had remembered something, she lightly tapped her head. "Oh, my memory—I almost forgot."

As she spoke.

Li Xi rummaged through her Storage Ring and pulled out several bottles of pills in succession.

"Here, these are all top-grade pills that can increase physical strength. This one is for external application, this one is for internal consumption, and this one is to be used with medicinal baths."

As Li Xi stuffed the pills into Jiang Li's hands, she earnestly explained them. She even used Mana to carve instructions onto the bottles, the writing elegant and beautiful, while softly murmuring to herself.

Jiang Li was somewhat puzzled.

"Why are you giving me pills?"

Li Xi clenched her fist encouragingly. "Didn't Wang Dao tell you to raise your physical strength as quickly as possible? These pills can lend you a hand. And they're top-grade pills without pill toxicity, so you don't need to worry about accumulating pill toxins."

Jiang Li: She's breaking the rules. Coach, she's breaking the rules. She's too warm.

The cultivation method "Emperor's World-Shocking Art" felt ashamed of its inferiority, declaring that you were the true grandmaster in this field. What was the point of gathering beauties from all under heaven compared to conquering them, making their fragrant hearts secretly yearn for you and devote themselves to you for life? Such was the way of commanding others. The imperial destiny was taking shape...

Ding. The cultivation method "Emperor's World-Shocking Art" desperately wished to swallow the top-grade pills to temper the body. Would you like to delegate control?

"No."

Jiang Li curled his lip.

He had thought this body-refining cultivation method was so picky that it wanted nothing but dragon qi. Apparently, top-grade pills could catch its eye as well.

But...

Even if they were merely top-grade pills, they were exceedingly rare in the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land.

After all.

Regardless of a pill's rank, producing one of top-grade quality required not only luck, but an extremely profound level of alchemy.

An ordinary low-grade Qi Gathering Pill sold for five Spirit Stones.

A mid-grade one cost ten Spirit Stones, while the price of a high-grade one tripled.

A top-grade one, if used for research, could sell for more than ten times that amount.

And every pill here was top-grade, specifically meant to temper the body. Jiang Li estimated that their total value would not be less than five thousand Spirit Stones, and they were things one could not buy even with money.

Did this little warm treasure even know what she was giving away?

Jiang Li accepted the pills.

He indicated that he would remember this.

Li Xi did not care much about such things. Seeing Jiang Li accept her gift, her expression became even more cheerful.

Not long after.

The three arrived at the inner hall.

The first thing Jiang Li saw was a bounty task hanging at the top of the board.

It was a long-term bounty task.

There was no limit on the number of times it could be completed, no time limit, and no cultivation limit.

"Bounty: Demonic Cult Undercover Agents"

"Task details: For every Demonic Path undercover agent or demonic cultivator lurking within the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land who is exposed, a reward of three thousand contribution points will be given."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up.

He did not need to look at any other tasks.

This one suited him perfectly.

Not only did he hold the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's list of lurking undercover agents, but the "Heart of Justice" trait within the "Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art" alone allowed him to find those burdened by grave sins amid the vast sea of people.

People like that were either Demonic Cult undercover agents or demonic cultivators.

This task had been tailor-made for him.

Jiang Li was secretly thrilled.

He walked straight over, intending to accept the bounty task.

Right at that moment.

A young man in white robes passed before Jiang Li. He had handsome features and wore a spring-breeze smile that made people instinctively feel favorable toward him at first sight.

However...

In Jiang Li's eyes, the top of this refined young man's head was dark crimson.

That meant this young man brushing past him had vast amounts of killing karma on his hands.

What a coincidence.

Just because I looked at you one extra time in the crowd, you're finished.

At that moment.

A cold mechanical electronic voice rang out.

Ding. The cultivation method "Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art" was trembling with rage, declaring that such a grievously sinful person actually stood before it. The human world was truly too filthy. You have triggered the following options:

Option One: Report the demonic cultivator's identity and let the Heavenly Mystery Holy Land see whether they are blind. Completion reward: Cultivation Method Progress +10%.

Option Two: Personally capture or kill the demonic cultivator and intimidate the swarm of demons. Completion reward: Cultivation Method Progress +30%.

Option Three: Eliminate future trouble forever and uproot every protective umbrella behind the demonic cultivator. Completion reward: Mana Purification + Cultivation Method Progress +100%.

Jiang Li sucked in a breath.

The "Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art" was truly furious.
