Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 488 The Road Behind
Cultivation is a complex and multi-dimensional thing. This is the experience Yang Qian has summed up after going through all the bumps and bruises along the way.

Even with something as incredible as the experience panel in hand, Yang Qian still relied on opportunities along the way, and many times he even risked his life to get there.

Magical weapons, skills, and current situation, these three are the most important to Yang Qian.

The only things that are important resources in the eyes of others are spirit stones and elixirs. They are not so prominent in Yang Qian's eyes and are placed in a secondary position.

This is because Yang Qian has the experience panel that makes him choose this way, it does not mean that these two things are not important.

On the contrary, in the eyes of many cultivators in many places, spirit stones and elixirs are the most important resources for cultivation.

Yang Qian now had to start considering the matter of spirit stones and elixirs.

Spirit stones are better, as they serve as a source of energy and hard currency. Yang Qian controls Shuangqing Prefecture and Wanli Bamboo Sea, and the output of spirit stones here is quite a bit, not much less than that of ordinary immortal gates like the Five Thunder Palace, and perhaps even more.

Yang Qian now wants to gather the scattered cultivators in Shuangqing Prefecture to build Zhenshan Camp, so Spirit Stone is indispensable. It is the most direct and useful when distributing salary.

Without money, who would follow you?
Interests are always the fastest way to bring people together.

As for loyalty, it needs to be tied to more long-term interests.

The elixir is the most typical "long-term benefit". It is also a resource of increasing importance that Yang Qian needs more and more.

In the previous battles, the magic weapon in Yang Qian's hand was still passable. Even if it was shabby, at least he had something to take out.

But the elixir is not worth looking at.

The things used for healing were all low-level, not to mention the elixirs that could detoxify, calm the mind, replenish energy, etc. that could immediately replenish himself and increase his combat power during battle, which he didn't have at all.

Fortunately, after arriving at Shuangqing Mansion, Yang Qian fought against opponents outside the Immortal Sect. The Hundred-Eyed Lady of the Great Silk Cave had some formations and weapon refining skills, but her alchemy skills were not very powerful.

Otherwise, the series of actions Yang Qian took after first entering Shuangqing Prefecture would not have been so easy.

As a consumable, the effects of elixirs are much richer than those of spirit stones. The upper and lower limits are many times higher.

In the past, Yang Qian didn't care, but it was not the highest priority. His experience points were always tight, and the living environment was always accompanied by danger, so he didn't dare to spend more experience on elixirs, and could only try a little.

The situation is different now.

Shuangqing Prefecture was completely under control, and together with the Wanli Bamboo Sea, they became two bases in Yang Qian's hands as resources. If he wanted to consolidate these forces and make up for his shortcomings, it was time to put matters related to alchemy on the agenda while he had plenty of money.

So while Yang Qian was healing, he was thinking about how to practice in the future and trying to further improve his Dan Dao level. This was actually a choice to make up for the gap in his future practice direction.

Yang Qian also took this opportunity to conduct his first systematic self-examination.

The first is the overall path of practice.

This aspect is easy to understand. Yang Qian is a typical practitioner of both magic and martial arts, emphasizing martial arts over magic. After completing his "Heavenly Veins of Thunder Qi" and "Thundering Law - Middle", Yang Qian stagnated in magic.

Besides, Yang Qian himself does not have the ability or even thought about spending energy to create his own techniques and skills. He just goes with the flow and practices suitable techniques and skills if there are any. If not, he will not rush to look for them.

Yang Qian's focus was on martial arts training, including the "Northern Mysterious Book", "True Solution to Tyrant Body", and "Three Turns to Heavenly Power". As for the means, he used one of the Dao of Sword Will, "Sky Slashing Technique", "Soul Slashing Power", and "No Sword".

This is basically the direction Yang Qian has determined.

In other words, Yang Qian is now more of a disciple of the Zhao family and the Sword Sect than a disciple of the Five Thunder Palace. Yang Qian is very confident about his future. Whether it is the Zhao family's Dharma Tower or the Sword Sect's Sword Domain mentioned by Jiang Yuhe, Yang Qian can now say that he has a firm grasp of it. There are still many areas in it that he has not explored yet.

I think relying on these potential opportunities, it should not be a problem for Yang Qian to break into the next great realm and achieve Tongxuan.

As for where the later experience comes from?

This is a problem for Yang Qian, but it is definitely not a big problem.

The evil spirits and bandits in Shuangqing Prefecture had been mostly cleared out, and the remaining ones were just small fish and shrimps that he didn't need to deal with. But what about outside Shuangqing Prefecture?

Even though the Immortal Alliance appears to be showing off its might and doing whatever it wants on the outside, there is still a force of demon cultivators hiding in plain sight, and they are intertwined with each other to form demon mountains. However, the Immortal Alliance seems to turn a blind eye to it, so everything is peaceful.

This also applies to evil sects composed of some evil monks.

Such an outrageous thing was simply incomprehensible to Yang Qian. He even thought that this was some kind of balancing trick played by the Immortal Alliance, used to deceive the secular world, and left behind on purpose.

So Yang Qian thought to himself: How many experience points will be wasted!

As an upper-class person who enjoyed aristocratic privileges in the Hongwu Dynasty, Yang Qian naturally had the obligation to change these dark and dirty things. Not only did he have to eliminate the evil spirits and evil monks in Shuangqing Prefecture, but he also had to achieve this goal throughout the Hongwu Dynasty.

Shuangqing Prefecture alone has hundreds of thousands of experience points. How many prefectures, how many demon mountains, how many evil sects are there in the Hongwu Dynasty?

Yang Qian even felt that if this goal could be achieved, it would not be impossible for him to reach the true immortal realm, but rather a very high possibility!

Continue on the path of martial arts cultivation, first explore every nook and cranny in the Sword and Blade Domain and the Dharma Tower in Shuangqing Prefecture, and dig out everything inside.

After that, we can consider gathering experience from other places during the Hongwu Dynasty.

But before that, Yang Qian still needs to sort out his affairs with the Five Thunder Palace, and some things may need to be repositioned.

Yang Qian had always received a lot of kindness from the Five Thunder Palace, and even had his life saved by Xu Xiushan. His family had also received a lot of favors from the Five Thunder Palace. It could be said that when he was in Jizhou Prefecture, the Five Thunder Palace was indeed his closest force, and could be said to be his own people.

But the Wu Lei Palace kept the affairs of Shuangqing Prefecture secret from him.

It may seem like a small thing, but it is actually a big thing.

The spiritual energy in Shuangqing Prefecture is poisonous!

Yang Qian learned this from Yang Ding, and after he entered the fusion realm, he also felt that this was true.

However, the fact that spiritual energy is poisonous will not have much impact on him, a martial artist who cultivates Xuan Qi. After all, the spiritual energy he absorbs will be immediately converted into Xuan Qi and will not remain in the body for a long time, so he will not be affected by the harmful effects of the spiritual energy here.

Could it be that the Wu Lei Palace forgot to remind Yang Qian because they knew that martial artists were not afraid of the poisonous spiritual energy in Shuangqing Mansion?

Yang Qian was sure that this was not the reason. Because the people in Wu Lei Palace might not know what martial arts cultivation was. After all, an old monster like Yang Ding didn't know about this, and he tried to use this to win over Yang Qian. Because the closer to the ruins of the Dharma Transmission Tower, the milder the poisonous spiritual energy.

Then why did the Five Thunder Palace hide this from Yang Qian?
Afraid of Yang Qian's cultivation and talent?

Or do you not want Yang Qian to emerge too quickly?

Or is there some other reason?
Yang Qian would not bear a grudge against Wu Lei Palace for this. After all, the favor they had shown him was not insignificant, so he could not just turn his hatred against them. But the reason behind this must be made clear, otherwise he would be treated like a fool and made fun of.
