Chapter 375: Chapter 20 Demon Exorcism Master_2

"He’s gotten quite burly."

"Seems like he grew a beard?"

Xiao Jie explained his changes, and both were amazed, especially An Ran, who insisted on having Xiao Jie take off his shirt to show her.

"Goodness, your eight-pack abs are pretty impressive," An Ran said as she touched them, making Xiao Jie speechless; he hadn’t meant for her to look at that.

"What do you mean impressive? It’s all from adding points. I’m talking about my back—"

Ever since he added the points, the muscles on Xiao Jie’s body had become very apparent. Just adding a few basic attributes would typically result in a muscular physique.

"That’s not right, you added points to agility, right? The agility type usually results in a more lean and fierce physique. There’s definitely something wrong with your body now—hey, these really are snake scales!"

An Ran caressed the scales on Xiao Jie’s back, feeling ticklish.

"Do you know what’s going on?" Xiao Jie couldn’t help but ask.

"How would I know?"

"Aren’t you a Demon Master?"

"A Demon Master temporarily transforms from human to demon beast. What’s happening to you isn’t that. You seem to be mutating, completely different from us."

A Demon Master learns from demons, essentially reversing the process of transforming a demon into human form.

It was said that the first Demon Master was friends with demons, helping them to transform into humans. During the ongoing research into transformation, they learned the ability to turn humans into demons.

This process was complete, yielding either a human form, a demon form, or a demon beast form. Xiao Jie having slight demon features yet remaining mostly human was something An Ran had never seen before.

Xiao Jie felt a bit depressed by this.

An Ran said, "I think you’d better ask a professional, preferably someone well-versed in Qi Refinement."

Xiao Jie was struck by a thought and suddenly grinned. "I think I know who can answer my question."

Dong Lingzi! Since this old guy was a wolf demon who achieved Tao and had lived for thousands of years with an understanding of Qi Refiners, he might know something.

After breakfast, Xiao Jie thanked the two and headed back home.

Once home, Xiao Jie didn’t rush to go online; having a demon soul entanglement that could trigger at any time was too risky.

It was safer to have helpers nearby, both in real life with Chen Tianwen and An Ran as protectors, and in the game.

He logged onto QQ to contact Hidden Dragon Do Not Use.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Brother Qianlong, have you gotten in touch with the person?

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: It’s all set. A Level 38 Demon Exorcism Master should have no problem exorcizing a residual demon soul. Where are you now?

Hidden Moon Following Wind: I’m offline at Luoyang Town’s martial hall. Come find me here, and let me know when you arrive so I can go online.

It was only about fifteen minutes before Hidden Dragon Do Not Use notified Xiao Jie to go online.

Xiao Jie logged into the game carefully and saw several people standing outside the practice room once he was online.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, Bai Ze, Dida La, Ye Luo, I Want to Be Immortal... and a female Taoist.

Jiuxiao Huanpei (Demon Exorcism Master): Level 38. Life Value 720.

Wearing a Purple Gold Lotus Crown, clothed in a Taiyin Qingyun Robe, and holding a Golden Sword, she had quite an air of a celestial Taoist.

Level 38...wow, she’s truly a master.

"Is he the one who needs the exorcism? If there are no issues, I’ll get started."

"Just one moment, let me first—ow!"

Suddenly, an ethereal wolf’s head appeared over Xiao Jie’s head, and his character even let out a mournful wolf howl. The next second, Xiao Jie lunged at the group in front of him.

Xiao Jie quickly shouted a warning.

"Be careful, I’m in a Frenzy."

Damn, Dong Lingzi definitely did this on purpose, he thought.

But Jiuxiao Huanpei didn’t panic and raised her hand to cast a golden talisman.

Freeze!

With a flash of golden light, a talisman immobilized Xiao Jie in his tracks, his body still in the pose of rushing forward with his sword.

Wow, what kind of spell is this? It’s incredible!" Xiao Jie thought to himself, acknowledging her expertise, utterly unlike the amateurish Bai Ze and Dida La.

If it were up to those two, they’d probably turn tail and run.

Bai Ze and Dida La both looked on with envy, admiring the high-level spell, truly profound.

Jiuxiao Huanpei continued casting.

"Mystical Taoist Technique, eliminate demons and subdue evil spirits, ghosts and demons will retreat, demon souls must be destroyed! Demon Soul, disperse — swiftly as the law commands!"

A dazzling white light suddenly fell upon Xiao Jie.

[System Alert: Your Demon Soul Entanglement has been dispelled.]

Looking above, there were no more DEBUFFs.

Damn, was it that simple?

Not good, I haven’t asked Dong Lingzi yet...

Xiao Jie was at a loss for words, but he knew he couldn’t blame the other party since the situation was urgent...

Of course, he didn’t dare blame the other party.

"What’s wrong?" Hidden Dragon Do Not Use asked in surprise.

"Nothing, thank you sister for helping me with the Evil Exorcism."

"There’s no need for thanks, I was just fulfilling a task," the Jiuxiao Huanpei replied indifferently.

"Thanks also to Brother Hidden Dragon for helping me contact a skilled person."

"Think nothing of it, it’s because of the team fighting the boss that you got infected; our guild naturally must take responsibility for helping you with the Evil Exorcism."

Xiao Jie knew there was a misunderstanding, but he did not explain.

"By the way, sister, I have some questions about refining... demon beasts and would like to find someone to consult. Since this game doesn’t have any forums or guides, could you give me some advice?"

That Jiuxiao Huanpei was very polite, "Of course, I suggest you visit the Guardian Rooms in the State Mansions. This game retains many official records, and if your reputation is high enough, you can go and consult them."

That was indeed an option; there might be some gains.

"Ah, thank you sister for your suggestion."

"No need for thanks. Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."

She then gracefully departed.

"Is she from our guild? A Level 38 Demon Exorcism Master, such a skilled player!" Bai Ze excitedly asked from the side.

"No, but she is from a brother unit, so I was able to ask her for help."

"Brother unit?" Bai Ze was curious.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use laughed, "If you really want to know, just formally join our guild."

"Never mind, it was just a casual question, I have to go now." Bai Ze, like Xiao Jie, was not fond of being constrained.

Currently, he was just a guest elder, and even less bound than Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie also said his goodbyes to Hidden Dragon Do Not Use and then rode his horse straight to Xiaofeng City.

This demonization issue was no trivial matter; it posed risks both in the game and in reality, and he must get to the bottom of it.

He certainly didn’t want to end up turning into a monster or something.

Racing through the wind, he arrived at Xiaofeng City and went straight to the Guardian Room.

The so-called Guardian Room was somewhat like an archive or library.

But unlike modern libraries that are open to the public, the game’s background world, after all, resembled an ancient worldview with strict social hierarchy, only official personnel or those who had made significant contributions to the State Mansion were allowed inside.

Luckily, his reputation had reached a respectable level, and after speaking with the guards, he was let in.

The interior of the Guardian Room was vast, with rows of bamboo slips, books, and ancient scrolls filling the shelves.

Since the Guardian Room was ancient, the earliest records were even carved from stone tablets; later records were made using bamboo slips and silk.

Only the last one or two thousand years’ records were documented with paper books and scrolls.

Qi Refiner... Qi Refiner... Qi Refiner...

Xiao Jie continuously clicked his mouse on the shelves, but there were too many books, each needing to be flipped open to see the contents, the volume of texts was overwhelming.

Looking at the vast collection, Xiao Jie was somewhat flabbergasted.

Where the hell do I start?

But considering it was the Guardian Room, there should be something like a librarian here, right?

After wandering around in the Guardian Room for a while, he indeed found an old man sitting behind a desk in one corner.

Dressed in a blue cloth robe, wearing a carefree scarf, his white beard and hair, his eyes deep, he was holding a scroll in his hand and a pot of clear tea on his desk, leisurely reading and sipping tea.

Yuan Tianke (Guardian Room Official): Level 26. Life Value 800.

Xiao Jie’s eyes lit up, this was the man!
