There was no warmth as expected, but instead a refreshing coolness fell down the throat and directly into the abdomen.
In an instant.
It seemed as if some frost had bloomed, slightly cooling down the hot blood.
at the same time.
The true energy in the Dantian has also become gentler, and is no longer as restless as before.
To know.
After being fused with pure Yang Qi, Tianwugang Qi has the properties of pure Yang Qi and becomes extremely hot.
Hot pure Yang Qi is extremely restrained against evil spirits, but similarly, too hot Qi can also harm oneself.
only.
Shen Changqing's true energy is powerful, and coupled with his powerful energy and blood, he is not afraid of the scorching heat of this true energy.
But no matter what, there are hidden dangers after all.
However, after swallowing the spiritual tea, he was surprised to find that the scorching heat in Tianwugang Qi had been neutralized a little, making it more rounded and thicker.
This discovery shocked Shen Changqing.
"What kind of tea is this?"
"Bing Ling Tea."
Jiang Zuo seemed to have expected Shen Changqing's reaction and couldn't help but smile.
"If you are promoted to Xuan-level Demon Slayer, you can redeem it once a year. Each gram of redemption requires one point of merit, and the upper limit is one hundred grams."
A little merit, a gram.
Shen Changqing's pupils shrank slightly, it was a bit too expensive.
How much can one gram of Bing Ling tea contain? It only requires brewing a few cups at most. A normal pot of tea requires at least a few grams of tea leaves.
A ghost-level monster can only get one or two points of merit at most, while a resentment-level monster can only get three to five points.
Evil-level monsters that are comparable to the master realm will receive slightly more merit, but it is only a few dozen points less.
Can be seen.
How precious is Bing Ling Tea?
Moreover, Xuan-level demon slayers have limited purchases, so obviously the demon-suppressing division doesn't have much in reserve.
"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have shared a cup of spiritual tea with anyone else." Jiang Zuo said pointedly.
Immediately.
He made two more cups of spiritual tea and picked up one himself.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that your strength would improve so quickly. You killed the barbarian general Melba. Now you are completely famous in the world!"
"Manager Jiang also knows?"
Shen Changqing looked surprised.
Hear the words.
Jiang Zuo shook his head and laughed.
"How could I not know, or in other words, how many people in the world don't know this matter? A powerful master has attracted the attention of the world, let alone a veteran grandmaster like Melba.
When the barbarians invaded the Baijiang Sect, they caused a huge sensation.
If you had killed other barbarian masters, it might not have had such a big impact, but the person you killed was Melba, so the impact would naturally be considerable."
While speaking, Jiang Zuo was also filled with emotion.
He knew very well that Melba was a strong man in the middle stage of a master. Shen Changqing could kill the opponent. You can imagine how strong he was.
In less than three years, he has gone from being a small trainee demon slayer to being a master-level killer. If there is nothing wrong with it, no one will believe it.
but.
Jiang Zuo didn't ask so many questions.
Everyone has their own opportunities, and Shen Changqing must have received opportunities that he didn't know about before he could reach where he is today.
Such an opportunity is as valuable as one's wealth and life to anyone.
If you ask questions yourself, not only will the other party not tell you, but it will actually cause cracks in the relationship between the two parties.
mainly.
Shen Changqing is no longer the trainee demon slayer he used to be. When it comes to strength, Jiang Zuo thinks he is no match.
Under such circumstances, it would be completely crazy to delve into other people's details.
"Brother Shen, there is something I want to say to you."
Jiang Zuo's sudden attitude and address made Shen Changqing look strange.
"Manager Jiang, please tell me."
"Opportunities are personal and must not be known to anyone else. Even if someone above asks you, you must keep your secrets secret. There is no problem in hiding secrets, but it is a big problem if they lose their value.
In the Demon Suppression Division, as long as you do not collude with evil spirits, then there is no other crime that can be punished against a demon slayer, especially a demon slayer at the master level."
Jiang Zuo solemnly warned.
"I see."
Shen Changqing looked grateful, but in fact he was very calm inside.
He understood the hidden meaning in Jiang Zuo's words. The other party just wanted to sell a few more to himself.
Regarding this.
I have no reason to refuse.
"It's good that you understand. There are some things I don't feel comfortable saying. In addition, with your strength, you are more than enough to be promoted to the Earth-level Demon Slayer. It's quite cool to call me Manager Jiang from time to time. If you recognize me as your friend, There’s no need to be so formal.”
"Brother Jiang!"
"good!"
Jiang Zuo had a gentle smile on his face and seemed very happy.
Immediately.
His smile faded a little.
"It's time for you to be promoted now. A yellow-level demon slayer at the master level will be unjustifiable no matter where you are. Moreover, your reputation has already been established, and it will definitely attract the attention of others.
With this factor in it, even if you try not to advance to a higher level, the Demon Suppressor may still send you some difficult tasks.
So I personally suggest that you might as well directly be promoted to the Earth-level Demon Slayer, enjoy the benefits you deserve, and also accept corresponding tasks. This is much better than staying at the Xuan-level."
Look at Shen Changqing's face.
Jiang Zuo paused and then said.
"In other words, to put it simply, the ice spirit tea in front of me has exchange restrictions for Xuan-level demon slayers, but for earth-level demon slayers, the exchange restrictions will be lower, and the price will be relatively Cheap.
There are demon-suppressing divisions all over the world, and there are countless treasures stored in them.
As you advance up the ranks, the things you can exchange for will increase accordingly, which will be of great benefit to your strength."
"Brother Jiang's words suddenly enlightened me. In fact, I originally had the idea of being promoted to the Earth Level, but I didn't know the specific situation. Now that I heard Brother Jiang's words, I can feel confident about being promoted."
Shen Changqing said.
He originally planned to be promoted to the earth level, and he only came to Jiangzuo to report.
Now Jiang Zuo's words made him more certain of his inner thoughts.
Jiang Zuo said: "But to advance from the Huang level to the Xuan level, you have to kill a resentment level monster or a demon in the innate realm. To advance from the Xuan level to the earth level, you have to kill at least a peak innate demon, or The weirdness at the peak of resentment level.
You went to Dahuang Mansion earlier, and you probably gained something in this area, so going from Huang level to Xuan level is not a big problem.
But if the Xuan level reaches the Earth level, you still have to perform some assessment tasks. Unfortunately, Melba is not a demon, otherwise if you kill him, the assessment tasks will be saved."
Jiang Zuo felt a little regretful.
If Melba is a demon, Shen Changqing has made a lot of money this time.
No way.
The Demon Suppression Department is an organization that kills evil spirits. All tasks are focused on evil spirits. If it is not involved with evil spirits, it will be of little use.
"Speaking of which, if you kill Melba, there should be a reward from the imperial court. However, since you have just come back, there may be no action from the imperial court for the time being. If you wait a few more days, I think there will be a reward.
For a barbarian general and a strong man in the middle stage of Grand Master, this reward is quite a lot."
Jiang Zuo licked his lips, his eyes full of envy.
He could guess how much the reward would be by just thinking about it.
"The reward can be postponed later. When I destroyed the Eternal Alliance stronghold in Dahuang Mansion, I killed a powerful demon. I think that with the merits given by that demon, I can be exempted from the assessment task."
While Shen Changqing was talking, he took out the Qingling Jade Pendant.
Looking at the pitch-black color above, Jiang Zuo took a breath of air.
"What a strong sinister aura!"
The Qingling Jade Pendant absorbs the evil aura and has the function of blocking the energy. Therefore, unless Shen Changqing takes out the jade pendant, he cannot detect the evil aura present on the Qingling Jade Pendant.
Wait until Shen Changqing takes out the jade pendant.
Only then did Jiang Zuo clearly see how strong that evil aura was, as dark as ink.
"I'm overthinking it."
"With this concentration of sinister aura, you can go to the Demon Slayer Hall to advance to a higher level without having to participate in any assessment tasks!"
Jiang Zuo smiled bitterly.
It turns out that I still underestimated the other person.
This kind of sinister aura is enough for a yellow-level demon slayer to be directly promoted to the level of the earth-level.
He waited until Shen Changqing put away the Qingling Jade Pendant before he spoke again.
"You can go for promotion now. Anyway, I have nothing to do here. You are an underground demon slayer. Strictly speaking, you are no longer under the control of the demon slayer. If you return in the future, you only need to report to me briefly. Just prepare it.
You can handle the rest by yourself."
A simple report is to let the Demon Suppressor know whether the demon slayer is in the Demon Suppressor or has gone on a mission.
Just like before.
In addition to reporting, you also need to report some task contents. Now this trouble is eliminated.
"Then I'll take my leave first and come back to talk to Brother Jiang after the promotion is completed."
Shen Changqing stood up.
Jiang Zuo also stood up and sent the other person out of the door before turning back again.
"Less than three years, the master is in the late stage, this opportunity is really eye-catching!"
He sat back to his original position with an envious look on his face.
originally.
Jiang Zuo has always been very optimistic about Shen Changqing, and even more so now. That's why he said so much earlier, just to sell more favors. Favors don't cost money anyway, and he might be rewarded later. .
"It won't be long before the Demon-Suppressing Division will have another top-notch strong man!"
Sighed.
Jiang Zuo no longer thought about this matter.
Looking at himself and then at Shen Changqing, he became more and more heartbroken as he thought about it.
Rather than thinking so much and making yourself uncomfortable, it is better to save some energy and find a way to break through to the master level.
the other side.
Shen Changqing also walked towards the Demon Slayer Hall.
