Chapter 386: Escort Mission: Target Blood Rock

“This wasn’t easy!”

Inside his abode, Xu Chang’an let out a sigh.

At this moment, all the Bloodline whirlpools on his Demon Body were activated.

His Cultivation Realm of Mid-stage Unity was now completely hidden.

What he showed on the outside was merely the Late-stage Void Refining Realm.

Although he had only reached the entry-level of this practice, Xu Chang’an’s ability for Concealment and Breath Control had increased dramatically.

With this Power of Concealment, as long as they didn’t inspect him up close, he could probably deceive even a Qinyuan Level Demon Fiend standing right before him.

And as Xu Chang’an’s comprehension of this Divine Technique deepened, his ability for Concealment and Breath Control would inevitably grow stronger and stronger!

Having reached the entry-level in Bright and Pure Disaster Relief, Xu Chang’an felt a sense of elation.

By mastering this Concealment Divine Technique, his ability to protect himself had undoubtedly increased tremendously!

Besides its effects of Concealment and Concealing Breath, Bright and Pure Disaster Relief also granted an extremely strong perceptive ability.

Ordinarily, a common Stealth Technique would be completely unable to deceive him.

‘I’ve only managed to lay down one set of fulcrum meridians! Once I reach the next stage, my Power of Concealment will be even greater!’

Now that he had succeeded in laying down the fulcrum meridians, Xu Chang’an’s next step was to spend time continuously honing this Divine Technique.

However, judging by the time it had already taken, reaching the next stage would undoubtedly require an incredibly long time!

Besides the investment of time, he would also face a bottleneck at every stage.

After reaching the entry-level of Bright and Pure Disaster Relief, Xu Chang’an thoroughly tested the effects of the Divine Technique.

The Divine Technique’s effects were nothing short of terrifying, and he was very satisfied.

After all these years, there was still no response from the Demon Monster Medal.

Clearly, the Demon Fiend mission they wanted to accept had not yet appeared.

‘Cultivation is a long journey; there’s no need to rush!’

Xu Chang’an did not continue practicing Bright and Pure Disaster Relief. Instead, he took out an enormous Alchemy Furnace and began to practice Alchemy.

Cultivation was tedious, and he needed something to adjust his state of mind.

For Xu Chang’an, Alchemy was just such a thing.

Having entered the Mid-stage Unity, he already possessed an extremely terrifying Demon Sense and Primordial Spirit Power.

This undoubtedly made his path in Alchemy much easier.

The difficulty of study and comprehension was greatly reduced!

In less than five years, he smoothly advanced to the Tier Five Middle Grade level of Alchemy Skill.

After another fifteen years, he reached Tier Five High Grade.

In the eighth year of his attempt to break through to the Quasi-Sixth Tier of Alchemy Skill, the long-dormant Demon Monster Medal finally lit up.

“It’s finally here!”

A pleased look crossed Xu Chang’an’s face. He swallowed the few Elixirs he had just finished Refining and walked out of the Meditation Room.

The moment he did, he saw Chu Xianyi, who had just emerged from seclusion!

He hadn’t seen her in years, but Chu Xianyi was as cold and stunning as ever.

Hm?

Xu Chang’an couldn’t help but take a second look at Chu Xianyi.

‘This woman…’

‘She actually entered the Unity Realm!’

On the surface, she was still at the Late-stage Void Refining, but she had actually broken through to the Unity Realm in secret.

If he hadn’t practiced Bright and Pure Disaster Relief and gained its sharp perception, he probably wouldn’t have noticed.

‘How many years has it been since we descended to this Great Realm? This woman’s progress is a bit absurd!’

‘I have my panel and devour massive amounts of Energy, so my rapid progress is understandable!’

‘But this woman…’

‘What’s her deal?’

‘Could her Talent really be that high!?’

Though his mind was racing, Xu Chang’an’s expression remained impassive.

“Peacock King, your seclusion seems to have been quite fruitful!”

Xu Chang’an said with a smile.

“You jest, Demon Emperor. I see that your own progress is just as gratifying!”

Chu Xianyi replied faintly.

But despite her indifference, her words still carried a faint, subtle hint of intimacy.

“The Demon Monster Medal has reacted. A suitable Demon Fiend mission must have appeared!”

“Indeed.”

Chu Xianyi nodded slightly.

“I wonder where the Demon Fiend mission will be this time.”

“We’ll know when we get there!”

“True enough!”

As they spoke, the two Demons left the abode and headed for the Demon Palace.

Arriving at the Demon Palace, Xu Chang’an discovered that it seemed a bit livelier today than on his previous visits.

The one who received him and Chu Xianyi was the same white-haired woman from before.

Having entered the Refining Void Realm, one’s lifespan was long!

A post at the Demon Palace could easily last for several thousand years!

“Fellow Daoists, your luck is quite good. A suitable mission has appeared so quickly!”

The white-haired woman said to the two Demons.

She clearly still remembered the mission requirements Xu Chang’an had left decades ago.

“Fellow Daoist, what kind of mission is it this time?”

Xu Chang’an also had a smile on his face.

“A Tier Two escort mission. The destination is Yangmou Demon City in the Xi Chi Province of Blood Rock Land!”

The white-haired woman explained.

Blood Rock Land!?

Hearing this, Xu Chang’an exchanged a look with Chu Xianyi.

Although they had specified their desired destination, they had ultimately broadened the scope a bit to get a mission sooner.

Xu Chang’an hadn’t expected to hit his target in one go with this mission, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

“We’ll take this mission!”

Xu Chang’an decided on the spot.

“Alright, please present your Demon Monster Medals, Fellow Daoists.”

The white-haired woman took out a disk-shaped Spiritual Treasure.

Xu Chang’an and Chu Xianyi handed over their Demon Monster Medals.

The white-haired woman took the Demon Monster Medals and did something on the disk.

After a flash of light, she returned the Demon Monster Medals to them.

“It’s done!”

“The specific details of the mission have been recorded in the Demon Monster Medals. You can check the contents with your Demon Sense!”

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”

Xu Chang’an gave a slight bow. He didn’t check the Demon Monster Medal immediately, instead leading Chu Xianyi away from the area.
