The Demon-Suppression Bureau was one of the Imperial Court's three bureaus, primarily tasked with combating the Demonic Dao.
After reading for a while, Xu Yang lost interest in this assignment. It frequently involved fighting members of the Demonic Dao, which did not align with his philosophy of lying low.
Next, an assignment tending spirit herbs caught his attention. The academic credit reward was decent, and it required entry-level mastery of the Spirit-Nurturing Art, which he possessed.
Most importantly, this assignment was within the Heavenly Strategy Academy. He would not have to leave the academy.
But he quickly realized that, after he had developed a spirit bone, the effects of his Spirit-Nurturing Art had become explosive. Though he had only reached the entry level, its effects on spirit herbs surpassed even those of the perfected Spirit-Nurturing Art.
If he took this assignment, his spirit bone would soon be exposed.
"Guard the Jade Waters Cold Pool. Requirements: cultivation at second heavenly origin or above, and a physique at the blood energy manifestation stage."
Another practical training assignment caught Xu Yang's attention.
He examined it carefully and found it quite appealing. The Jade Waters Cold Pool was a place of extreme cold. An ordinary person's blood would freeze within a hundred meters of it. Only martial artists whose body tempering had reached blood energy manifestation could withstand this chill.
For body-tempering martial artists, it was even an exceptional place to temper their bodies, offering tremendous benefits. The Jade Waters Cold Pool could be considered a cultivation treasure ground for them.
Of course, the Heavenly Strategy Academy did not assign guards to the Jade Waters Cold Pool because it was a treasure ground for body-tempering martial artists. After all, such martial artists were rare, and those who had reached blood energy manifestation were rarer
