Chapter 422 Application

In the second half of the night after practicing, the spiritual energy and inner energy in the Dantian no longer merge together and begin to separate again.

Qin Shaochen also began to slowly gain strength.

After opening his eyes and feeling his own cultivation, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise and joy on his face.

I never thought that the effect brought by just one demon core would be so amazing!

The cultivation level actually improved directly by one level.

Reached the seventh level of Qi refining.

Directly entered the late stage of Qi refining.

From the middle to the late stage, it is a big hurdle.

According to Qin Shaochen's observation, at least half of the spiritual warriors in the world of cultivation will be unable to cross that threshold throughout their lives.

It can be seen that it is indeed difficult to take that step.

Qin Shaochen certainly didn't think he would be stumped by that level.

But I never thought that I would be promoted to the late stage of Qi Refining so inexplicably and easily.

"I didn't expect the demon core to be so powerful!"

"That kind of effect is several times more powerful than Zhiyundan."

"Even ten times more!"

Qin Shaochen thought about it carefully and found it even more incredible!

By this time, it was clear to him what the secret Xu Ziyue was talking about.

It seems that the demon slayers who hunted down monsters in various dynasties were not solely for the purpose of eliminating harm for the people.

The main reason is to seize the demon core of the demon clan.

"If this is the case, it is necessary to visit Xu Ziyue tomorrow."

"Get this figured out!"

This speed of improvement is indeed exciting.

However, Qin Shaochen speculated that there should be certain restrictions on using demon cores to improve cultivation.

Otherwise, eating a demon core will increase your cultivation by one level.

Wouldn't it be possible to directly reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining by killing a few more monsters and eating a few more demon cores?

How can this be the case in the world!

Of course, if there are not many restrictions on using demon cores to improve your cultivation, then it would not be a bad idea to accept Xu Ziyue's invitation and become a demon exterminator for a few years.

Anyway, the family is now relatively stable and has a certain status.

And the younger sister is practicing with the ancestor of Qingxuan Sect.

All is well and there is nothing to worry about in the short term.

Taking this opportunity to work hard outside and improve your cultivation is also a good choice.

It's better than being an official in Huaitian City.

Thinking of this, Qin Shaochen made up his mind.

The next day, I came to the Neiwei Mansion early in the morning to wait for Xu Ziyue.

First, he told Zuo Dazhong, who was in charge of the demon catching event, what happened yesterday.

When Zuo Dazhong heard this, he was also very angry.

He cursed hard.

But there was no good way to capture Jiang Xingshan.

The only thing that can be done is to post notices throughout the city to inform each family that if any abnormality is discovered, they will immediately report it to the city lord's palace.

It was almost noon when Xu Ziyue arrived belatedly.

When he saw the two of them, he opened his mouth to explain:

"I have sent a letter through Feijian to report the matter of the two Jiang brothers to the Demon Slayer Alliance."

"The Demon Slayer Alliance attaches great importance to it and plans to send two more demon slayers to help capture Jiang Xingshan."

"At the same time, the Demon Slayer Alliance also sent an order. As long as they can assist the Demon Slayer Alliance in eradicating that person and the demon, the Demon Slayer Alliance will definitely give a heavy reward..."

After everyone discussed the business, Zuo Dazhong assigned tasks and asked everyone to take action.

Qin Shaochen invited Xu Ziyue to a separate room and asked about the demon core.

Xu Ziyue did not answer directly, but smiled first.

"It seems that Master Qin has already tried it. He must be shocked by the effect of the demon core, right?"

Qin Shaochen nodded seriously and said:

"It's a bit unexpected indeed!"

"That kind of improvement effect is simply several times more powerful than the best elixirs."

"Why are so few people aware of such a good training method, and even fewer people use it?"

"Of course there is a reason."

Xu Ziyue motioned for the two of them to sit down first, and then slowly explained the reason.

According to Xu Ziyue, the method of using demon cores to assist cultivation is more common in the north, but less popular in various dynasties in the south.

The reason is that there are fewer monsters in the south.

Those monsters from the north will basically be eliminated by the monster slayers of the Monster Slayer Alliance on the way before they reach the south.

Therefore, southern dynasties like the Great Chu Kingdom have a smaller chance of obtaining demon cores.

"However, as far as I know, there are still some people in your country of Chu who have used this method in their cultivation."

Xu Ziyue's expression was a bit mysterious, and she deliberately lowered her voice.

"For example, there are many cultivators in the royal family who use demon cores to quickly improve their cultivation."

"royal?"

Qin Shaochen was a little surprised, and then he remembered something, which made him wake up a little.

I remember that once he and the Ninth Prince were talking about the way of cultivation. The Ninth Prince once said that in addition to cultivation, their royal family also has some special methods that can quickly improve their cultivation.

Precisely because the royal family has that method, even if the prince or princess of the dynasty doesn't like to practice, their cultivation level will not be too low.

At that time, Qin Shaochen thought that the Ninth Prince was talking about some special pills.

Now when I heard Xu Ziyue say this, I suddenly understood.

The method mentioned by the Ninth Prince must not be swallowing the pill, but the demon core.

"good!"

Xu Ziyue nodded firmly.

"Our Demon-Slaying Alliance provides a certain number of demon cores to the various royal families in the south every year."

"Although the number is not large, it is enough for the practitioners of the royal families."

"It is precisely because of this that the various dynasties support our Demon-Slaying Alliance so much."

"Of course, those demon cores are not given away for free, but sold to the various royal families at high prices."

Qin Shaochen nodded slightly.

Experiencing the heaven-defying effect of that kind of demon core, he believed that as long as it could be bought, each dynasty would spend a lot of money to buy it.

"Of course, there are restrictions on swallowing demon cores for cultivation."

"What restrictions?" Qin Shaochen asked hurriedly.

"Number of times!"

Xu Ziyue smiled indifferently.

"Under normal circumstances, ordinary people can use it three times. If it is more, there may be certain dangers."

"Why?" Qin Shaochen had expected it and was not surprised.

"Because the demon core is highly toxic!"

"The reason why it should be swallowed together with the green pill is to dissolve the toxicity in the demon core while taking the power of the demon core."

"Also, even if there is an antidote pill, it cannot completely dissolve the toxicity in the demon core."

"So, taking it three times is almost the limit."

"If you continue to take it, the toxicity that cannot be dissolved may break out, and you may go crazy or die suddenly. That would be more trouble than it's worth."

Qin Shaochen nodded.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Master Xu, I would like to ask you something."

"If a person has a strong ability to resist poison, can he take it more times?"

Xu Ziyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Theoretically, yes."

"But our Demon-Exorcist Alliance does not recommend such an approach."

"Because the toxicity of the demon core is very overbearing, once it breaks out, it can easily destroy the dantian and sever the meridians."

"Those injuries are difficult to repair."

"So, the Demon-Exorcist Alliance has always insisted. The upper limit of taking the demon core is three times."

Speaking of this, she smiled.

"Because Lord Qin doesn't know much about the effect of the demon core, yesterday, I asked Lord Qin to take one directly."

"It's like using up an opportunity."

"From now on," Lord Qin will only have two chances to improve his cultivation by relying on the demon core again."

"You won't blame me for this, will you?"

"Of course not!"

"If it weren't for Lord Xu's advice, I wouldn't have thought that swallowing the demon core would have such a great benefit!"

Qin Shaochen said this, rubbed his nose, and said very straightforwardly:

"After this attempt, I have decided to listen to Lord Xu's advice and apply to join the Demon-Exorcist Alliance to become a demon-exorcist!"
