After the appointment ceremony, Su Wu and Liu Dashan rested briefly before getting up to change shifts in the Wu-class guardhouse.

After spending these few days together, the jailers and Su Wu had become somewhat acquainted.

Upon seeing Su Wu and Liu Dashan, he greeted them with a smile.

"They're here!"

"They've arrived." Su Wu responded with a smile to the jailers' greeting.

"How are things? Were the prisoners in the cells behaving well today?"

"It's alright." The jailer on duty replied with a smile in response to Su Wu's question.

Afterwards, they completed a brief handover ceremony and began their patrol.

Since Su Wu had only been there for a few days, Liu Dashan was still the one leading him.

After assigning their assigned areas, the two began their patrol.

Having actually experienced death twice, Su Wu no longer felt the tension and fear he had felt the first time he came to the Demon Suppression Prison.

Instead, they can proactively investigate the state of the demons and prisoners in those cells.

Seeing that Su Wu's patrol and duty procedures and mindset were much more stable and familiar, Liu Dashan couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration.

"Su kid, you picked it up pretty quickly."

"At this rate, it won't be long before you're able to go on patrol and house-hunting missions on your own."

Faced with Liu Dashan's praise, Su Wu couldn't help but let out an embarrassed smile.

"No, it's all thanks to Uncle Liu who took good care of us."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan's face showed even greater satisfaction.

The Demon Suppression Prison was relatively quiet tonight. Apart from the usual howling of demons, there were not many unusual occurrences.

After patrolling for a while, Liu Dashan pointed to an empty cell and spoke to Su Wu.

"Young Su, I know you're determined to cultivate and become stronger."

"Anyway, nothing unexpected will happen tonight, so you can find an empty room here to cultivate."

Upon hearing Liu Dashan's instructions, Su Wu was taken aback.

"Isn't that inappropriate, Uncle Liu?"

"I'm going to cultivate myself, what will you do alone?"

"What can we do about this little thing?" Liu Dashan waved his hand dismissively in response to Su Wu's concern.

"Before you arrived, weren't I patrolling alone too?"

"Besides, if I really encounter any danger, I'll call for help."

"As for you, just focus on your cultivation. If anyone asks, I'll just say you went to the toilet."

Hearing Liu Dashan's concern for him, Su Wu was deeply moved.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll take this opportunity to slack off a bit in my cultivation."

Although he still felt a little guilty towards Liu Dashan, Su Wu could live his life more than once. At worst, he could treat Liu Dashan better in the next life.

Having made up his mind, Su Wu went straight into the empty prison cell.

To prevent Su Wu from being discovered, Liu Dashan locked the cell door from the outside, pretending that there were prisoners inside.

In any case, unless it's a major inventory, basically no one will pay attention to the situation in other cells outside their patrol area.

Seeing that Liu Dashan had locked the prison door, Su Wu immediately began to stand in a stance, practicing the basic demon-suppressing stance.

As the Demon-Suppressing Stake settled, the surrounding Yin energy reappeared in Su Wu's perception.

Compared to their dormitories, the Yin energy in this Demon Suppression Prison cell was significantly greater.

Especially the neighboring cell where demons were imprisoned, the malevolent energy was spreading through the walls toward them.

"This prison cell is truly the perfect feng shui location for cultivating this basic demon-suppressing stupa!"

Feeling the abundant Yin energy, Su Wu was overjoyed and began to refine it using the innate Yang energy within his body.

However, as Su Wu refined and perceived these Yin and Yang energies and the true Yang within his body, he began to notice something amiss.

"Something's wrong. Why is the cold poison in my body worse than before?"

Through his senses, Su Wu could clearly perceive that the cold poison in his body, which he had previously reduced through refining, had actually increased again!

They are even gradually increasing and recovering!

Sensing this scene, Su Wu's brows furrowed slightly.

"Something's not right with this cold poison. How can it increase even after it's decreased?"

I had clearly refined a significant amount of the cold poison within my body earlier.

But now, it has grown back, and is almost back to its original size.

"What if it weren't for the fact that it absorbs the Yin energy within this Demon-Suppressing Prison to repair itself?"

Thinking of this, Su Wu's eyes showed surprise, but he was not worried at all about the cold poison corroding his body.

On the contrary, it was filled with excitement and anticipation.

"If that's the case, wouldn't that mean I possess a continuously replenishable source of Yin energy?"

Although refining these Yin Fiend energies would deplete his true Yang energy, for Su Wu now, improving his cultivation level was more important than anything else.

"Forget about thinking about that now, let's focus on our cultivation."

While pondering, Su Wu suppressed his joy, focused his mind, stood firmly on the pillar, and began to refine the surrounding Yin energy.

As Su Wu refined it, this Yin energy gradually transformed into his vital energy and blood.

His boundary markers are also changing accordingly.

[Realm: Third level of body tempering (60/400)]

[Realm: Third level of body tempering (70/400)]

[Realm: Third level of body tempering (80/400)]

……

Finally, when his Qi and Blood value broke through one hundred, Su Wu stopped his cultivation and reopened his eyes from his standing meditation.

That's enough.

It wasn't that Su Wu didn't want to continue his cultivation, but rather that continuing would negatively impact his physical condition.

After two days of exploration, Su Wu has roughly figured out the pattern: the threshold for his single-time increase in Qi and Blood is 60.

Once this threshold is reached, one's mental and physical strength will become extremely tired and weak.

At that time, if any unexpected situation occurred, there was simply no time to react.

Even if nothing happened, it wouldn't make sense for him to be found lying weakly in his cell.

Thinking of this, Su Wu gently knocked on the door. Upon hearing this, Liu Dashan immediately rushed over and opened the door.

"What's wrong, kid Su? You've finished your cultivation?"

Su Wu nodded gently in response to Liu Dashan's concern.

"That's about enough. Save some energy for any unexpected situations."

"These demon-suppressing stakes are too mentally taxing, take it easy."

"That works too." Hearing Su Wu's reply, Liu Dashan leaned against the cell door and stretched.

"I'm tired from patrolling too, I'll rest for a while."

Then, as if he had just thought of something, he looked at Su Wu.

"By the way, if you're not going to repair the Demon-Suppressing Stakes, you can take this opportunity to practice your swordsmanship."

"Let me see the mountain-breaking knife that Old Qin taught you last time."

"Now?" Su Wu was slightly taken aback upon hearing Liu Dashan's order.

Liu Dashan nodded slightly.

"Right now."

"Anyway, it's normal for us prison guards to take a break during our patrols. Not many people in the Demon Suppression Prison recognize that broken mountain knife, so no one will complain about you."

Upon hearing this, Su Wu was relieved. He then pressed down on the long sword at his waist and drew it out.

Clang!

A sharp, cold light burst forth!
