Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 121 Shen Yu Arrives
With Dai Rui's assistance, Song Yan went to the Merit Confidential Office to record his merit in killing the demonic cultivator.

The Five Demons of Cold Mountain recorded a total of sixty-five merit points for him, which was unexpectedly high.

It should be noted that the merit points required to obtain a Breakthrough Pill are only 360.

Ordinary disciples stationed in Changping automatically recorded thirty points each month.

In the early stage of Qi Refining, a demonic cultivator is counted as five points per person; in the middle stage of Qi Refining, three people are counted as thirty points; and in the late stage of Qi Refining, one person is counted as thirty points.

The five demonic cultivators he had just killed had already covered more than two months of his assigned duty period.

"Wouldn't that mean we could do the same thing..."

"..."

He nipped this wicked thought in the bud as soon as it arose.

"No, you can only say you were lucky if it happened once in a while."

"The fact that contributions keep increasing every now and then inevitably raises suspicions."

"Changping is full of demonic cultivators. Why can't others detect them, but I can?"

"Anyone can see that they have a problem."

He immediately dismissed the idea.

This matter quickly spread among the disciples of the six sects stationed in Changping.

It is said that Senior Brother Song, who was newly arrived in Team A, encountered five demonic cultivators within a few months of arriving in Changping.

He killed them all one by one, and gained a lot of merit.

Some people envied it, some were jealous, and some were curious.

Of course, some people scoffed at it.

He believed that although he had received merit, the situation in Changping was actually far more chaotic than people imagined, and the disciples who were stationed there on patrol would be in greater danger.

For some people, the best thing is to obtain the resources they want peacefully and securely.

The discussion about the matter itself quickly came to an end.

However, this incident acted as a fuse.

The six elders attached great importance to this and comprehensively strengthened the patrols of disciples throughout Changping.

Even places that were not particularly dangerous and where demonic cultivators rarely appeared have now been placed under increased security.

This doesn't change anything for the regular patrols.

However, many of the internal affairs disciples who originally stayed within the confines of their quarters now occasionally need to participate in patrol missions.

This includes Cheng Yu.

The treatment of office staff and resident patrol officers already made many people dissatisfied.

The current turbulent situation has led many elders to raise concerns at the council meeting, for their own reasons and interests.

Due to manpower shortages, even cultivators like Cheng Yu, who have connections, are required to perform fixed monthly patrol duties.

And so, another two months passed.

Yangwu Academy.

Inside the room, Song Yan was slowly circulating his cultivation technique, refining spiritual energy.

Strands of spiritual energy transformed into pure spiritual power, flowing through the meridians.

Finally, the spiritual energy flowed into the dantian and the sea of ​​qi, and gradually calmed down.

An hour later, he slowly opened his calm eyes, the sharp glint in them gradually fading away.

His gaze fell on a small bottle of pills.

These days, my daily cultivation in Changping is barely getting by.

The reason is precisely because of this unique elixir in front of them.

Yellow Springs Elixir.

This pill cannot enhance spiritual power, nor can it help break through bottlenecks.

It has no special effect of increasing spiritual power.

However, in Changping, everyone has some.

Besides the bottle he bought at Hanshan Market, he also found some in the Qiankun bags of the five demonic cultivators.

It will last a long time.

This Yellow Springs Meditation Pill has no other function than this one.

It can automatically filter out the impurities in the spiritual energy of this place within a certain period of time.

Cultivating here is completely different from cultivating in the sect's cave dwelling.

When you're in a sect, all you need to do is focus on increasing the concentration of spiritual energy and absorbing it quickly.

However, the most troublesome part here is the refining process. There are quite a few impurities in the spiritual energy, and if they are not removed and refined, they may accumulate in the body and cause hidden injuries and poisons.

With this elixir in hand, there is no need to be distracted by these matters.

"It's amazing..."

He had never seen this elixir in any alchemical texts before; perhaps his knowledge was still too limited.

Put away the pills.

Song Yan stood up, temporarily halting the formation, opened the door, and walked out.

The target was the memorial stele outside the confidential attic.

The leaders of the six clans in Changping would post their arrangements for important matters on the memorial stele.

In addition, the task assignments and arrangements for all small groups and teams can also be seen on it.

This was also an instruction given by the six elders in order to seek fairness.

A number of disciples were gathered in front of the memorial stele.

Most of them looked calm, but some sighed.

"Ugh... why do I have to go on patrol duty again this month!"

A disciple wailed; judging from his Taoist robe, he should be an outer disciple of the Suspended Sword Mountain.

"You should be content; you've already done quite well."

His companion comforted him, "Senior Brother Wang from the Lingfu Sect next door used to have a cushy job in Team C3, but now he has to patrol three times a month."

He patted the other person's shoulder.

"If anyone's to blame, it's that damned Song Yan from the Dongyuan Sect."

"Hey, keep your voice down."

Song Yan remained unmoved.

He had already heard about the discussions about him among many disciples of the Six Sects.

It's easy to guess who's behind this.

They were nothing more than those princes of immortal sects, like Cheng Yu, who originally only needed to hide in the county city and cultivate peacefully.

Fortunately, Song Yan didn't care at all about what others thought of him.

All he cared about was how to make that person named Cheng Yu disappear from this world without a trace.

"Twenty-nine, Caoyuan Township..."

His eyes scanned the memorial tablet, searching.

Finally, in an extremely remote corner, they found Cheng Yu's name.

He sneered.

These so-called cultivators with connections in higher places are even assigned to patrol missions in the most remote and secluded locations.

If there are any oversights, it's easy to handle and no one will notice.

After recording the mission information about Cheng Yu, Song Yan stayed for a while longer before slowly turning around and leaving.

The area near this confidential location is very well-informed.

There is a lot of information here that is not secret, but is common and not easily obtained.

For example, Song Yan overheard a piece of news from the casual conversations of the Xuan Yuan Sect disciples around him.

Although this news is not exactly good news for me.

Shen Yu, the external affairs elder of the Xuan Yuan Sect, has just broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, he will be coming to Changping in a few days to take over the position of the original resident elder of Xuan Yuan Sect.

"..."

Song Yan was very familiar with Shen Yu.

The other members of the Xuan Yuan Sect, including Shen Huai, did not actually have much of an enemy relationship with him.

But this Shen Yu had indeed suffered a great humiliation at the Dongyuan Sect because of Song Yan.

It's hard to guarantee that this person won't seek revenge at some point.

With their own elders in charge, the other party naturally wouldn't make any moves openly, but if they secretly made some arrangements...

An elder, especially one who is in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Its energy is hundreds of times stronger than that of a nobody like Cheng Yu!
However, Song Yan was not too panicked.

After all, there are more important things to do right now.

Ugh! Why do I have to go to work again tomorrow?!

Thank you everyone for your monthly tickets, subscriptions, and recommendations! Thank you so much!
