Chapter 855: Chapter 411: Supplementary Update in Progress..._2

For all this, the surrounding loose cultivators just laughed at that low-level Qi Cultivation cultivator, as if thinking he’s really foolish.

Seeing this scene.

Wen Jiu closed his mouth.

When everyone is wrong.

You are right, still it’s wrong.

So, let it be, a loss is a loss.

After putting the inferior Spirit Rice into his storage bag, Wen Jiu quickly left, feeling the only six pieces of Spiritual Sand on him.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to do.

"Forget it, wander around a bit more, if I still can’t afford anything, I’ll go back and save Spirit Stones for another month."

With the settlement panel, the Demon Slayer’s job has double wages, saving up for a month, more than just three Low-grade Spirit Stones can be saved.

It’s not too late to stroll around again then.

After wandering for another round, Wen Jiu eventually spent his six pieces of Spiritual Sand on a technique, and it was a proper Heterodox Dao.

Gu Cultivation!

Simpler than Beast Taming.

Also more cost-effective compared to cultivating demons and magical beasts.

The most important thing is, it can serve as a self-defense measure.

After all, the Cultivation Realm is filled with demons and monsters, even how strong the Demon-solving Knife Technique is, what if the enemy doesn’t feel like engaging in close combat with you?

So having a means of remote attack is very necessary.

However, this also means he might have to shorten his time for practicing the Changmo Technique.

Because he can’t shorten the working hours of being a Demon Slayer.

After all, the urgent thing is to earn more Spirit Stones.

Since practicing the Changmo Technique is very slow, it might as well be slower, it has already been lagging behind others for over ten years.

What’s another month or two?

Very soon.

Wen Jiu returned to the Good House.

The night was gradually falling, but it wasn’t completely dark yet, the street in front had already become deserted.

Each household had their doors tightly closed.

Wen Jiu was also planning to close the door and cook but ran into Li Fu and his wife returning just in time.

Wen Jiu originally didn’t want to greet them, after all, they weren’t even considered friends, and Li Fu merely regarded him as an object of pastime.

But just as Wen Jiu was about to close the door, he heard Li Fu say unhappily, "Big Dog, have you gone stupid recently? Seeing your Brother Li return, you didn’t even greet?"

Big Dog?

Your whole family is Big Dog.

Truly treating me like a dog, you being a Qi Cultivation Third Layer coming home, I still have to run over to greet you?

Not happy outside, looking for a sense of presence with me.

However, after all, Li Fu is Qi Cultivation Third Layer, a realm he can only dream of.

"Didn’t see you just now." Wen Jiu gave an awkward smile.

Li Fu spoke grumpily, "You brat, you seem to have changed, talk less... Why, have you already despaired about your future? I told you long ago, go back to the Mortal World, you didn’t listen."

"No, just a little tired."

Wen Jiu replied.

Li Fu seemed uninterested in saying more, turned around, and went back inside.

Wen Jiu was also planning to leave, but Li Fu’s wife gave him a kind smile, "It will get better."

Wen Jiu was stunned.

And returned a kind smile.

Turned around and went inside.

Why is there such a big difference between this couple?

Forget it.

Don’t think about it.

Cook dinner.

Cultivate.

In the next half month.

Wen Jiu worked as a Demon Slayer while secretly using Demon Monster Remnant Blood to feed the Gu Insect, waiting for its birth.

The Gu Insect hasn’t been born.

But the Demon-solving Knife Technique is about to step into the Upper Realm.

The Demon-solving Knife Technique, strictly speaking, can also be considered a cultivator’s technique.

Although not magic, but when cultivated to a profound level, it can also integrate with magical power, achieving effects beyond mortal martial arts.

When the daily settled experience propelled it to the Upper Realm, the next morning, Wen Jiu rushed to the butcher shop impatiently.

When cutting through the Demon Armor again, besides the improvement in proficiency, Wen Jiu could also feel other changes in the Demon Slaying Blade in his hand. That is, when the blade cuts, with magical power integrated, the armor-piercing effect is terrifying.

Take the Flame Demon Python in front of him for example, when the Demon-solving Knife Technique was in the Middle Realm, it took five or six cuts to open the back and remove the armor, the exertion was not small. Often after a quarter of an hour, he would rest in place for a while.

But now, with magical power integrated, one cut can peel a segment of armor, and the required force is still the same as before, but the efficiency is a qualitative leap.

In less than half an hour.

The Flame Demon Python’s scales and armor were completely stripped, revealing the relatively softer python skin, but actually, saying relatively softer is only compared to other parts of the Python Demon, in reality, the Demon Slaying Blade cutting on it was like cutting an iron plate.

Previously, to break the entire python skin at once, Wen Jiu would put all his effort, using all his strength.

But now, with the Demon-solving Knife Technique in the Upper Realm, cutting through the skin was extremely smooth, effortlessly opening the python skin in one go.

"This is just a realm improvement, why is the difference so big?" Wen Jiu felt a surge of astonishment in his heart after breaking open a Flame Demon Python’s skin.

If he really encounters a demon.

With the current Demon-solving Knife Technique, he could deal some damage to them, not like before when just breaking armor was not possible.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu felt joy in his heart.

Carrying this joy, Wen Jiu began to disassemble the Flame Demon Python, resulting in the whole Flame Demon Python being cleanly dissected in less than three hours. Counting the time for armor breaking and skinning, exactly three and a half hours.

Compared to the previous six hours, it was a qualitative leap.

Seeing this, the demon slayer beside him was a bit surprised.

And a bit envious.

This efficiency.

Could now dissect two demon corpses in a day.

Two also means the income of two pieces of Spiritual Sand.

"Good knife skills, Brother Wen!" A middle-aged loose cultivator who hadn’t talked to him for years suddenly praised.

Wen Jiu returned a smile and didn’t say much, because besides envy, he also saw some envious eyes.

Wen Jiu was not surprised by this at all.

In the past, everyone struggled in the quagmire.

So they coexisted peacefully, without any issues.

But if someone is about to jump out of the quagmire, it becomes different.

But looking at these eyes, Wen Jiu couldn’t help but feel a secret joy... Indeed, comparing with those worse off can surely boost confidence.

Thinking of this.

Wen Jiu suddenly realized something.

Is this the reason Li Fu often mocks him?

Following this thought.

Wen Jiu glanced at his panel.

[Wen Jiu]

[Lifespan: 30/100]

[Realm: Qi Cultivation First Layer 100/100 (Pending Cultivation Technique Breakthrough)]

[Cultivation Technique: Second Layer of Long Path Technique Not Entry Level (51.5/200)]

[Skill: Demon-solving Knife Technique (Upper Realm 1/400)]

"Can still be improved."

What will be the effect after the Demon-solving Knife Technique reaches full capacity in the Upper Realm, will it be able to continue upwards?

Thinking of this.

Wen Jiu was full of anticipation.

But when his sight caught the experience value of the Second Layer of the Long Path Technique, a strong sense of helplessness surged in.

This second layer entry, is truly difficult.

Because practicing now for an hour only yields 0.5 experience, compared to before it’s much much slower.

Comprehension and spirit root, are like chains under his feet, holding him back, not letting him easily take a step upward.

"Oh, if only the Qi Cultivation progress could be so efficient." Wen Jiu sighed helplessly.

But he quickly adjusted himself.

After all, the rapid improvement in the Demon-solving Knife Technique is already good, much better than the original self, unable to enter the Middle Realm for ten years like day after day.

"Sir, give me another one!"

Wen Jiu quickly bowed to the steward beside him.

Starting today.

He shall dissect two demons a day.

Plus, with double wages.

Just thinking about it is already unimaginable!

Earning four pieces of Spiritual Sand a day, it’s twelve Low-grade Spirit Stones in a month!

The future is promising!

Plus, after a hundred days, when the second layer of the Changmo Technique is entry-level, stepping into Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

Life is getting better!

...

In the coming days.

It’s again just going between two points.

The rent payment day arrived quickly, although after handing over the rent, Wen Jiu was again empty-pocketed, but with four pieces of Spiritual Sand entering daily, in just half a month, Wen Jiu managed to save up six Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Therefore, Wen Jiu made another trip to the Trading Market, spending one Low-grade Spirit Stone to buy ten Poisonous Insect Eggs.

Just like before, all are Demon-eating Gu.

It has three uses, first is seeking demons and magical beasts; second is consuming demons and magical beasts’ corpses; and it can be used as a means of remote attack, because the Demon-eating Gu is very, very small, only the size of a mosquito.

However, Wen Jiu cultivated it mainly for its ability to seek demons, because once it’s cultivated, it can be sold.

As a Demon Slayer, he naturally knew the source of income for those loose cultivators in the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation— which is hunting demons outside.

But the demons aren’t fools, they don’t obediently wait there for you to come hunt, thus needing the Demon-eating Gu to seek demons.
