Chapter 62: Chapter 51: Terrifying Talent, A Day to Construct the Thunder Root_3

"But because some races of Demons have astonishing reproductive abilities, their numbers continuously increase. Every ten years, it’s necessary to open the Grand Array and hold a Demon Slaying Conference to reduce the number of Demons and alleviate the array’s pressure!"

Lin Xuankong frowned and said, "Since they are Second Layer and Third Layer Demons, why not send a few powerful Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators to massacre them? Wouldn’t that be much easier?"

Gu Beicheng shook his head slightly.

"It’s not that simple. The Demon-Suppressing Array is infinitely powerful. Any powerful Martial Cultivator who enters it would have their strength suppressed to a maximum of Third Layer Perfection! The number of Fourth Layer and Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators in each city and sect is very small. If they enter and their strength is suppressed to the Third Layer Realm, it would seriously destabilize the foundations of their sects if they were to fall! Therefore, the task of clearing out the Demons every ten years falls upon the talented disciples and Stewards of the Second and Third Layers!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He had fought the Demon People Race before, and the terrifying Recovery Power of the Marsh Python People left a deep impression on him. These were merely the Demon People controlled by Demons, possessing only weakened Demon Techniques! If facing true Demons, who knows how powerful and difficult to kill they would be with their vast Demon Qi and formidable Demon Techniques!

Seeing his furrowed brows, Gu Beicheng thought for a moment and continued,

"Participating in the Demon Slaying Conference is not without benefits. The blood and flesh of the Demon Race are great supplements for the Qi Blood of Martial Cultivators. The items on their bodies are rare materials for refining Divine Soldiers, Armor, Elixirs, and for Array Formation and beast nurturing!

"For example, the gall of a Tier Three Marsh Python is an excellent healing remedy. Just consuming a drop of its gall liquid can regenerate flesh and bones within a day for any injured Martial Cultivator, even if they’ve lost half their body. As long as they haven’t vertically lost half their body, they can rapidly recover! My broken arm was restored by Chief Steward Jiang two days ago, using one of the last three drops of Marsh Python Gall Liquid remaining in the Great Marsh Hall!

"For example, a single drop of Heart Essence Blood from a Tier Three Evil Lizard Demon is equivalent to hundreds of Essence Blood Pearls from the Evil Lizard Demon People. With dozens of drops, one can cultivate a Tier Three Exotic Beast, whose combat power is comparable to that of a Third Layer Martial Cultivator!

"Most importantly, there is a vast number of Demons in the Demon-Suppressing Valley, but none surpass Tier Three. If one kills many of them, they might obtain a Demon Pearl formed by the Demons! That is a priceless Demon Pearl, a Treasure capable of influencing the rise and fall of a sect!

"Therefore, every Martial Cultivator who gains something and survives the Demon Slaying Conference will become famous throughout the dozens of cities in the Great Marsh Prefecture, enjoy unparalleled prestige, make a fortune, and pave a golden path for their future Martial Cultivation journey!"

Obtain a Demon Pearl?

Lin Xuankong’s eyes lit up. He had easily found a Flying Thief thanks to a Demon Pearl and had also easily killed a stronger Bearded Guest with the Double Vine Demon’s control. How could he not know the immense power and value of a Demon Pearl! If he could get an attack-specific Demon Pearl, summon an attacking Demon, and sustain it with his vast Qi Blood, then... HSSS... no matter how many Bearded Guests came, it would be a piece of cake!

Gu Beicheng continued,

"However, in a Demon Slaying Conference with a thousand participants, it’s already good if a few dozen survive. It can be said that only one in ten makes it out alive. Most of the survivors are strong Third Layer Martial Cultivators of Mid-grade or Late Stage. Of course, there are occasionally talented disciples who enter with their elders’ Demon Pearls; they can sweep through, gain plentiful rewards, and return victoriously!"

At this point, he sighed and glanced at Lin Xuankong.

"Among the participants chosen by our Yin Talisman Sect are Senior Brother Lin, Steward Zhao Yufei, Steward Xu Bei, Steward Hu Shuo, and Steward Nalan Yunzhu. Although everyone is quite strong, except for Steward Zhao Yufei, as she has a full set of Exorcism Armor, most will have to rely on their Yin Talisman Technique. When the time comes, it might be... In my opinion, Senior Brother Lin, you should seek out Chief Steward Jiang to see if someone else can participate in your place! You’ve just achieved great merit for the sect and become a Silver Jade Steward, so Chief Steward Jiang will surely consider your request seriously!"

He cupped his hands and sighed, "I must go notify the other Senior Brothers and Stewards now." Then he departed.

Lin Xuankong returned the gesture. After Gu Beicheng left, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows and ponder. The Demon Slaying Conference... it seems to have both advantages and disadvantages, and it’s still two months away... By that time, will my Exorcism Armor be ready from refining? And to what Realm can I cultivate? Most importantly, how many Divine Thunder Roots will my Yin Talisman Technique nurture within my body? Eight, nine, or... This will dictate the power of my Yin Talisman Thunder, significantly determining the strength of each Realm in the Yin Talisman Technique!
