[ Successfully slew a Xuan Realm Fourth Layer Dog Demon, gaining 400 Demon value Points! ]
[ Successfully slew a Xuan Realm Fifth Layer Dog Demon, gaining 500 Demon value Points! ]
[ Successfully slew a Xuan Realm Fifth Layer Sparrow Demon, gaining 500 Demon value Points! ]
After nearly half a month of continuous demon slaying, the Demon value Points had finally accumulated to a rather considerable number again.
Li Xuanxiao opened his personal panel.
[ Host: Li Xuanxiao ]
[ Realm: Mystic Realm First Layer ]
[ Cultivation Techniques:
Mystic - Mystic Lotus Art (Beginner)
Xuan - Ancient Subtle Life Lotus (Transcendent) ]
[ Martial Arts:
Mystic - Mirage Shadow Blade (Not Beginner)
Xuan - Buddha Illuminating Lamp Seal (Transcendent), Pure Lotus Flower(Perfection), Rainbow Light Movement (Perfection), Dharma Breaking Qi Extinguishing Slash (Transcendent), Bone-Clinging Shadow (Perfection) ]
[ Demon value Points: 22800 ]
Very good, I can add points again!
[ Consumed 8000 Demon value Points, Mystic Lotus Art has entered Minor Achievement Realm! ]
[ Insufficient Demon value Points, unable to continue upgrading! ]
Li Xuanxiao's eyes widened; he hadn't expected that upgrading a Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique just to Minor Achievement would require 8000 Demon value Points!
And his remaining 14800 Demon value Points wasn't even enough to upgrade another Realm?
Did that mean upgrading to Major Achievement required more Demon value Points than 14800!?
Damn it, this is outrageous! What kind of Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique is this? It's simply a gold-swallowing beast!
There was no choice. Since the Cultivation Technique couldn't be upgraded further, he could only focus on others.
[ Consumed 3000 Demon value Points, Bone-Clinging Shadow has achieved initial proficiency! ]
[ Consumed 8000 Demon value Points, Bone-Clinging Shadow has entered Minor Achievement Realm! ]
Another 11000 Demon value Points was spent to bring the other Mystic Realm Martial Art up to the Minor Achievement Realm.
The Demon value Points on him shrank again to only 3800.
What could 3800 do?
Li Xuanxiao scanned his panel. Upgrading the Mystic Realm was impossible now, so he could only start with the Xuan Realm.
3000 Demon value Points was just enough to upgrade a Xuan Realm Cultivation Technique or Martial Art from Perfection to Transcendent. And he currently had three Xuan Realm Cultivation Techniques or Martial Arts at Perfection waiting to be upgraded.
They were...
Xuan - Pure Lotus Flower(Perfection)
Xuan - Rainbow Light Movement (Perfection)
Xuan - Bone-Clinging Shadow (Perfection)
One was a comprehensive Buddhist Martial Art possessing defense, healing, and the ability to remove abnormal status effects.
One was a flashy, high-taunt, extremely fast long-range movement Martial Art.
One was a strange close-combat, impossible-to-guard-against, exquisite movement skill.
Without much deliberation, Li Xuanxiao immediately decided to invest it into 'Pure Lotus Flower'.
[ Consumed 3000 Demon value Points, Pure Lotus Flower has reached the Transcendent Realm! ]
With that, his panel updated once more!
[ Host: Li Xuanxiao ]
[ Realm: Mystic Realm Fourth Layer ]

Xuan - Ancient Subtle Life Lotus (Transcendent) ]
[ Martial Arts:
Mystic - Mirage Shadow Blade (Minor Achievement)

[ Demon value Points: 800 ]
"Mystic Realm Fourth Layer..."
Li Xuanxiao sighed slightly, feeling that his rate of progress was truly too absurd. As long as he had enough Demon value Points, he could cross Realms at a speed unimaginable to others.
Having the System is amazing!
Li Xuanxiao sighed and decided to first find a place to rest for two days. This kind of high-intensity tracking and slaying was indeed a huge drain on an individual. Whether it was physical stamina or willpower.
Li Xuanxiao immediately began looking for a place to stay. After a flight, he concealed his conspicuous Mystic Realm aura and slowly descended into a city.
This city was named Ziluo City, a relatively large one. The city's defense force was primarily composed of Extreme Realm Martial Artists, but there were also two Xuan Realm Martial Artists.
Among the many cities in Pei Prefecture, it ranked relatively high in terms of defense strength. Furthermore, this area was not heavily harassed by demons. So, it appeared very peaceful and tranquil, lacking the grim atmosphere of impending crisis. The city was quite prosperous, with teahouses and taverns operating normally.
Li Xuanxiao walked into a tavern, ordered a cup of tea from the waiter, and ascended the stairs to the second floor.
As soon as he reached the second floor, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to a young man dressed in brocade robes, looking like a noble Young Master. The other party's temperament was truly extraordinary; in a place like a tavern, which was thick with the scent of mortal life, he stood out exceptionally.
However, Li Xuanxiao was only slightly surprised before walking on his own to a window seat and sitting down. Taking advantage of the break, he enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
The brocade-clad Young Master also casually glanced at Li Xuanxiao. Only upon seeing the Demon Slaying Division uniform on the other person did a slight expression of surprise surface on his brow.
Soon, the tea arrived. Li Xuanxiao sipped his tea while gazing at the peaceful people outside the window, a gentle expression in his eyes.
But this leisurely posture of his attracted dissatisfaction from some people.
"Your Excellency is a Martial Artist from the Demon Slaying Division?"
A question with a rather strange tone rang out.
"Indeed!"
Li Xuanxiao raised an eyebrow and looked over. It was a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant, sitting not far away.
The other party's expression was slightly serious, and there was even a faint hint of hostility.
Considering his question, Li Xuanxiao immediately had a guess in his mind.
The Demon Slaying Division uniform he wore was very obvious; the other party couldn't have missed it.
The other party seemed to be asking a question, but the tone of reproach was too obvious.
It didn't seem like he was confirming Li Xuanxiao's identity, but rather reminding Li Xuanxiao to be mindful of his status.
After a brief thought, Li Xuanxiao looked at the tea in front of him and instantly formed a guess.
The other party's real meaning was probably: Since you are a Martial Artist of the Demon Slaying Division, why do you have the time and leisure to sit here sipping tea leisurely?
"Currently, Pei Prefecture is plagued by demons, and a great enemy is at hand. How can you, as a Martial Artist of the Demon Slaying Division, hide in a corner and evade your duties?"
As expected, the words spoken next by the middle-aged man confirmed Li Xuanxiao's guess.
Truly speechless! Li Xuanxiao felt like cursing internally.
I worked myself to death, and after finally getting a moment to rest, I still have to listen to this kind of trash rambling!
Do you know I'm hiding in a corner? Do you know I'm evading my duties?
The most annoying are those people who know nothing, immediately resort to moral blackmail, stand on high moral ground, and righteously accuse others.
Taking another sip of tea, Li Xuanxiao chuckled lightly: "Then how do you think I should act, Your Excellency?"
The middle-aged man cupped his hands towards the air: "Naturally, it is to slay demons and eliminate evil, serve the nation faithfully, and save the common people of Pei Prefecture from dire straits!"
"Just like that Lord Li Xuanxiao! Wherever he goes, demons are slain! What a hero!"
Upon hearing the name Li Xuanxiao, the brocade-clad Young Master slightly turned his head and began to listen carefully to their conversation.
Li Xuanxiao was startled. Was he eating melon that led back to himself again?
Had his recent actions already spread here?
"Currently, demons are causing chaos. My merchant caravan can't even leave the city. This is all because of irresponsible Martial Artists like you!"
So, because of the demons, his business failed, and he was venting his frustration by blaming others.
Damn it, did I cause the demon chaos? Li Xuanxiao couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just pretended not to hear.
The middle-aged man grumbled, but finally realizing that no matter what he said, Li Xuanxiao ignored him, he left in anger out of self-frustration.
Li Xuanxiao could finally drink his tea in peace.
But soon, someone else approached him.
The brocade-clad Young Master, sitting diagonally opposite Li Xuanxiao, raised his wine cup towards Li Xuanxiao as a sign of respect.
"Pardon me, Sir. I overheard during your previous discussion that there is a Lord Li Xuanxiao who is exceptionally brave in slaying demons and eliminating evil."
"I wish to ask, Sir, have you ever met Lord Li Xuanxiao?"
