Chapter 70: Chapter 59: Promotion to Red-clothed Demon Suppression Guard, Let Go of My Blade (2)

“Wei Fan, you finally came to see me. Let me tell you some good news. I’ve now reached the True Qi Sixth Layer!”

Seeing Wei Fan visit, Hu Qing was very excited and shared her cultivation breakthrough.

“Impressive, truly a master from Yun City!”

Wei Fan gave a thumbs-up; from Hu Qing’s demeanor, she seemed to be doing well.

“Hehe…”

Pleased with Wei Fan’s compliment, Hu Qing became more smug.

She was smiling, but suddenly noticed the red clothes held by Wei Fan: “Why do you have the red clothes of the Demon Suppression Guard?”

The smile faded; Wei Fan couldn’t have just advanced from being a black-clothed Demon Suppression Guard to the red-clothed Demon Suppression Guard in a few days, could he?

Hu Qing suddenly felt uneasy. She was still rejoicing over her True Qi Sixth Layer breakthrough, while Wei Fan had already received a promotion during this time.

She was shocked.

Now, she was considered half a member of the Demon Suppression Bureau, naturally understanding the difficulty of being promoted from a black-clothed to a red-clothed Demon Suppression Guard. In such a short time, Wei Fan must have slain an exceptionally formidable demon fiend to rise so quickly.

Wei Fan chuckled dryly, “Would you believe me if I said I found it on the road?”

He truly wasn’t trying to show off.

Hu Qing clearly didn’t believe him. She took a deep breath: “Did you go and slay another Great Demon? Let me tell you, Su City is different from Yun City. Yun City only has some Wild Demons.

But the demon fiends here have lineages and bloodline clans. I know you despise demon fiends and are righteous.

However, here you cannot act as you did in Yun City. You need to learn to be more reserved. You’ve just been promoted to a red-clothed Demon Suppression Guard within days, which could attract the attention of powerful demon fiends.”

She had always admired Wei Fan but hoped he wouldn’t act the same way as in Yun City.

Wei Fan didn’t explain what happened yesterday and responded, “Don’t worry, the demon fiends here are just as easy to kill!”

“I’m afraid you’ll attract those thousand-year-old demons…”

They chatted for a while before going their separate ways.

[Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger · Acupoint Realm (Perfection)]

[Current Power Level: 552 years]

In the room, Wei Fan opened his eyes.

Back in the True Qi Realm, it took him twenty years of power to achieve perfection with the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger.

He initially thought it would take two to three hundred years of power to perfect the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger in the Acupoint Realm. Unexpectedly, the Supreme True Qi’s tempering effect on his ten fingers was remarkably effective. It only took a hundred years of power, while still at Acupoint Opening First Layer, to perfect the ten fingers.

“The tempering effect of Supreme True Qi far surpasses Golden Bell Shield True Qi.”

Wei Fan looked down, noticing that his ten fingers were slightly tinted with purple, resembling transparent purple crystals.

He gently grasped the table surface, and the solid wood seemed as fragile as tofu, leaving a trail of finger marks.

Although the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger is considered one of the three staples for the poor, this finger technique is undoubtedly top-tier Martial Arts. Not only wood, but even Refined Iron could easily be crushed.

“Still missing the Lightweight Skill!”

Wei Fan picked up the last secret manual, which had the large words “Nine Nether Illusionary Steps” on it. After looking at it for a moment, the interface began to flicker:

[Nine Nether Illusionary Steps (Uninitiated)]

He had never heard of Nine Nether Illusionary Steps, but since it was selected by He Wei, that guy probably wouldn’t pick something inferior.

Following his usual approach, Wei Fan used ten years of power to test the waters.

In fact, whether a cultivation technique is powerful can be judged by how much power is required to achieve perfection.

[Deducting ten years of power, adding Martial Arts Nine Nether Illusionary Steps]

[One year of power, you have opened the meridians related to Nine Nether Illusionary Steps’ acupoints and Dantian]

…

Within the Dantian and acupoints, Supreme True Qi surged, opening the meridians one by one, and Wei Fan soon felt his body becoming lighter.

No!

As the power influx continued, True Qi circulated within the meridians, causing him to lift from the chair, his whole body slowly floating upwards.

[Ten years of power, you have achieved perfection in the First Layer of Nine Nether Illusionary Steps, moving like ghostly apparitions, as swift as specters]

[Nine Nether Illusionary Steps · First Layer (Perfection)]

As True Qi calmed, Wei Fan’s body gently descended. Although he couldn’t fly yet, with the support of five to six hundred years of Supreme True Qi, he could certainly leap several hundred meters.

Of course, the core of Nine Nether Illusionary Steps lies in its elusive speed during close combat, like a spectral apparition, which is the essence of this Martial Arts.

If he had Nine Nether Illusionary Steps that day, he wouldn’t have been in a prolonged stalemate with Hu Yulang.

After achieving Perfection in two Martial Arts in quick succession, Wei Fan felt somewhat exhausted and planned to have dinner before coming back to add the Glazed Treasure Body.

Now, with the Ice Soul, it’s time to break through to the Body Refining Realm.

Wearing casual clothes and taking the Cold Moon Saber, Wei Fan went out. As he walked for a while, the gate of a courtyard on one side of the road opened, and Li Fengyi came out from inside.

“Do you live here? I thought you lived outside!” Wei Fan greeted with a smile.

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Li Fengyi’s face, and she smiled, “Are you going for a meal? How about joining…”

“Sure!”

Wei Fan nodded, and the two walked toward the dining hall together.

Today, the dining hall was noticeably more crowded than usual, no longer so empty.

Black, red, and silver clothes could be seen, and occasionally Demon Suppression Guards in gold and purple clothing.

Li Fengyi knew many people, and as soon as they entered the dining hall, people constantly greeted her, and after the greeting, those people would give Wei Fan a glance before leaving.

The two ordered their meals and found an empty table to sit down and eat without talking.

While they were eating, suddenly a hand reached over from the side and grabbed the Cold Moon Saber.

Wei Fan frowned slightly and, together with Li Fengyi, paused their eating to look up, finding four or five people standing beside their table, and one of them had taken the Cold Moon Saber.

This person was dressed in golden clothes, with a stern face, and was attentively looking over the drawn Cold Moon Saber.

“Han Fei, why are you taking my friend’s saber?” Li Fengyi frowned and showed a look of dissatisfaction towards Han Fei’s rude behavior.

“Your friend’s saber?” Han Fei’s expression was slightly cold, and his eyes moved.

This was clearly his fifth uncle Han Qian’s Cold Moon Saber, which he had often used to practice with in the past and would definitely not mistake it.

He looked at Wei Fan with a scrutinizing gaze, “I haven’t seen you before. Are you new? Tell me where you got the Cold Moon Saber.”

He had heard from his family earlier that his fifth uncle Han Qian had disappeared in Yun City, and people had already been sent to investigate, though he hadn’t yet heard any results due to being on a mission recently.

He hadn’t expected to come back today and see his fifth uncle’s Cold Moon Saber in the dining hall.

Wei Fan expressionlessly replied, “Picked it up!”

He roughly understood the situation now. The person who recognized the Cold Moon Saber was Han Fei, and the one who attempted to assassinate him that night was Han Qian, likely from the same family.

A flash of cold light appeared in Han Fei’s eyes, clearly an evasive answer: “You came from Yun City?”

Wei Fan nodded, “Yes!”

Han Fei said no more and turned to leave.

“Put down my saber!”

Wei Fan stood up.

Li Fengyi also stood up, “Han Fei, what do you mean, snatching my friend’s saber?”

Han Fei stopped, turned back and placed the Cold Moon Saber on the table, looking directly at Wei Fan, “You better keep this saber safe, because it’s more important than your life.”

After saying this, he left directly.

Wei Fan sat down to continue eating.

After finishing their meal and leaving the dining hall, Li Fengyi started speaking on her own, “The Han Family is strong, they have Celestial Being heritage, and in recent years, talented martial artists have emerged one after another, with growing momentum.

They have people in various departments of the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Government Office and have good relations with many forces.

However, as long as you stay in the Demon Suppression Bureau, no one dares to touch you here.”

Wei Fan nodded, “Thank you for the information!”

Initially it was Han Qian who came to kill him, and he couldn’t possibly spare Han Qian’s life.

After separating, they returned to the courtyard, and Wei Fan took out the box containing the Ice Soul and opened it, revealing an egg-sized, crystal-clear object inside like an ice crystal.

Ice Soul!

A Body Refining Divine Object, containing extreme cold energy, essential for cultivating the Glazed Treasure Body.

As these messages flashed through his mind, a cold chill spread from the jade box, and Wei Fan shivered instantly, even as a trace of ice crystal started to rapidly spread over his body.

Without hesitation, Wei Fan grabbed the Ice Soul from the box.

In an instant, a terrifying chill penetrated his bones, quickly spreading throughout his body.

[With a year of power, you finally obtained the extreme divine object Ice Soul needed for the Glazed Treasure Body, absorbing the extreme energy from the Ice Soul to refine your body]

[With two years of power, you refined your body with extreme cold energy, but as you have a Horizontal Cultivation of Innate Body, the transformation seems a bit difficult]

[With ten years of power, through arduous cultivation, you finally broke through the physical limits, reaching Body Refining First Layer, with single-arm strength reaching 150,000 jin]

…

In his hand, the egg-sized Ice Soul had long disappeared, turning into extreme energy entering his body.

As he broke through, his whole body started to tremble, with blood qi emerging like flames from his pores, making the roof rumble and hum.

The physical strength, which hadn’t improved for a long time, was finally surging rapidly like the rising tide at this moment.
