On the official road covered with heavy snow, a continuous winding motorcade moved neatly.

As they headed towards Xishan Mansion, a strong rotting stench hit the ground, and the ground was red with blood and white with frost.

What the convoy transported were huge corpses of monsters, each with a hideous and strange appearance, and a miserable death state, as if they had experienced some kind of purgatory-like torture during their lifetimes.

The moment the convoy entered Xishan Mansion, a flood of exclamations rang out in this huge city.

It is true that the people of China are well-informed, but under the protection of the imperial court, it is still difficult to see such a terrifying number of demons with their own eyes.

Not long after, notices came out from the government office and were posted all over the streets and alleys.

Compared with the surprise of ordinary people, the monks living in the city have a rough understanding of some of the recent events.

The situation has been quite chaotic recently, which makes people feel panicked.

If the imperial court wants to frighten evil spirits and calm people's hearts, thunderous means are indispensable. This scene is not difficult to understand.

But when they noticed the brief description in the notice, almost all the monks, regardless of their level of cultivation, froze on the spot with their jaws dropped.

"Monk Huizhen from the Bodhi Sect relies on his own power, despises the imperial court, and colludes with demons. He has brought disaster to many counties in Xishan Prefecture. The evidence is conclusive, so they must be killed together!"

Although the notice states that he is a disciple, none of the monks can tell... if he maintains his attainment status, he is an Arhat!

Those noble beings who have lived in golden bodies and subjugated demons for generations, actually colluded with evil spirits?

What shocked the monks even more was that when facing the three religions, the imperial court showed such toughness that it was unimaginable in the past.

Even if you are a Bodhisattva, even if you are an Arhat, as long as you commit crimes within the scope of the divine dynasty, you will still be killed!

The imperial court was now completely serious.

In a short period of time, the news spread out of Xishan Mansion and almost spread throughout Da Nanzhou.

"Brother Yan, what are you going to do?"

In a mansion somewhere, surrounded by several titled generals, the two of them stood side by side.

One of them was General Yang Mingli of Zhennan, and the one who asked the question was a woman who looked like she was in the prime of life. She was wearing a bright long dress and looked quite flowery.

But once she returned to the court, her face was no longer gorgeous, but instead showed a bit of heart-stopping majesty.

This woman is none other than Feng Xi, the last Zhennan general in charge of the entire Da Nanzhou Demon Slayer Division.

She frowned slightly, obviously not understanding what happened in Xishan Mansion, especially the government's handling of the matter.

Hearing this, Yang Mingli's face was calm, and there was no fluctuation in his voice: "I have reported the matter to the imperial capital regarding Nanzhou. Everyone can take care of themselves and don't interfere with other people's business."

The old man named Yan has long been dissatisfied with his own style of conduct. Now that he has finally left, he naturally wants to show off his skills.

Thinking of this, Yang Mingli twitched the corner of his mouth coldly.

Crazy, there will always be times when you have to suffer. At that time, you will have a chance to appreciate the regret on the old guy's face.

"Hey, I don't know what you are fighting about. No matter where there is a problem, it is the matter of Da Nanzhou. In the end, between you and me, who can just watch and ignore it?" Feng Xi sighed helplessly.

"It's one thing to ignore him, but if you don't suppress his anger, Nanzhou will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!"

Yang Mingli suddenly waved his sleeves and simply closed his eyes.

The more chaotic the situation, the more stable it is! Only when it is stable enough can there be no problems.

Wu, whose surname was Yan, did not understand this truth and either died in the interception of the three religions, or he made a big mistake and was punished by the court.

The other party is just a common man. If he dies, he will die. Don't try to implicate the creatures of these twenty-seven houses!

…

Jianyang Mansion, Shen Zhai.

In the courtyard, heavy snow was falling, and the young man sat cross-legged, concentrating, as if listening to the Dharma, but there was no one next to him.

Since the demon life required to improve one's realm is too much and cannot be filled up, after leaving Nanyang, compared to improving oneself, reshaping the demon soul has become a very cost-effective thing.

There are exceptions, however.

For example, a real Bodhisattva Arhat.

After reaching the fifth level, due to the existence of Dao Fruit and Fruit Status, the cost-effectiveness of reshaping the demon soul has greatly improved.

With tens of kalpas of longevity, you can get a thug with hundreds of kalpas of power, and there are other gains as well.

It took Shen Yi thirty kalpas to condense the cloud cow into a stone. Under the other party's teaching, the panel also changed.

[Five-grade Dragon and Tiger Destroy Mountain Seal: Perfection]

As the true method of the Three Religions, and also something specially prepared for the Dragon, Tiger and Arhat, Shen Yi has personally experienced its power once.

It is not so much a "technique" as it is the development of the original effect of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body. There is no need to spend too much life to practice it. As long as you know the principles, it is very easy to master.

What Bodhisattva teaches is still good.

Shen Yi sighed in her heart.

Until now, he finally realized that perhaps the Dragon and Tiger Arhat itself did not manifest itself as a dragon and tiger. It was referring to the process of infecting the aura of heaven and earth with the power of the dragon and tiger during his hard training, and finally turning it into his own use.

And those "unnecessary" behaviors of mine may sound a little funny, but they are actually beneficial.

Ye Lan once said that the way to practice from the fifth level to the fourth level is to find your own path, and then use your calamity to build this path.

It was obvious that the demon life that Shen Yi invested was not wasted, but turned into real strength.

It means that this road has unfolded in some inexplicable way, but I don’t know what it will look like at the end.

[Remaining demon life span: sixty-eight calamities]

According to common sense, it is most cost-effective to pour these demons and longevity into the Dragon and Tiger fruition position. After all, the things of Bodhi Sect are more practical, and you get what you pay for.

Unlike the Taixu Taoist method taught by the Three Immortals, how much you put in and how much you can use it depends on chance and understanding.

Moreover, the Qi Refiner can take pills to assist his practice, and since he is good at refining pills, he can use them with the Imperial Qi Golden Pills awarded by the imperial court.

As a Qi practitioner, you can completely use the human emperor Qi to practice instead of the demon life.

But now the situation is rather special.

There are only more than forty kalpas left before he can completely harvest the Taixu Dao Fruit and become a Taiyi Immortal.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi no longer hesitated and quickly poured the remaining life span into Taixu Taoism.

With the infusion of the vast Yaoshou, the silver moon hanging at the end of the blue wood in his body gradually became plump, so rich that it seemed like it could drip.

Until the demon's longevity gradually began to run out.

The brilliance finally began to gather and slowly turned into a transparent jade. The lines engraved on it were like the most primitive laws when the great road was first formed and the world was opened.

Just one look at it can make you feel intimidated.

Fortunately, it only took an instant for the lines to change from primitive to dense, and gradually turned into something that the monks could roughly understand.

"Too Xu..."

Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes, and without any reminder from the panel, he knew that he had reached the Taiyi Wonderland.

One hundred and ninety-three kalpas were all transformed into this Taixu Dao Fruit.

[Five-grade Taixu Taoism: Perfection]

[The remaining demon longevity: three tribulations]

Even with many prerequisite preparations, more than sixty kalpas of demon life were wasted in the end. No wonder the Qi Refiner has to take pills to assist in practice. Compared with the Bodhi Sect, the efficiency is simply too poor.

Although Tao Fruit and Fruit Status are both at the fifth level, they are completely different things.

Shen Yi's eyes exuded the golden light of dragon and tiger and the brilliance of Taixu moon respectively. The same sky and earth fell into his eyes, but there were two different pictures.

The soul is like a white cloud floating in the air, and the body is like a golden mountain that holds the world in check.

The huge contrast caused a bit of confusion in his eyes. The deduction was clearly over, but his whole body was inexplicably trapped in some kind of magic barrier. He wanted to move his fingertips, but he felt as light as a feather, but he still couldn't lift them up.

At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the mansion.

"Visit from Wushan."

This voice from an outsider finally pulled Shen Yi out of that confused state!

He gently wiped the non-existent sweat stains on his forehead.

No wonder so few people choose to practice dual cultivation as a Qi Refiner and a Practitioner. Apart from the pressure of longevity and calamity, I am afraid that this completely different understanding of the world and the risk of practice going astray is also an extremely important reason.

Shen Yi quickly adjusted her mood, then turned around and said: "Please come in."

After receiving permission, the fat man stepped into the mansion with a gloomy look, walked all the way to the courtyard and stood still.

He looked at Shen Yi and said in a low voice: "I have already dealt with the affairs of Xishan Mansion according to Mr. Yan's instructions. I came here to let you know. As for the reward for subduing demons, it will be sent to your house in a few days. superior."

Hearing this, Shen Yi stood up and said softly: "Thank you very much."

Since leaving Daqian, he has not experienced the feeling of leaning against a big tree for a long time. Not only does he not have to worry about running away when he gets into trouble, but he has someone to deal with it, and he can even get a reward.

This decision to join the Demon Slayer Division finally makes some sense.

However, after Wu Shan finished speaking, he had no intention of leaving and shook his head: "I'm not here to take credit, let alone congratulate you."

"That is?"
