Chapter 433: Chapter 215: Soaring in Happiness_2

Overall, the powers of a General Class demon hunting team significantly outrank those of a Soldier Class demon hunting team. For everyone, the benefits and assistance are fairly sizable. In fact, considering their present strength which was generally of 6th Rank, or close to it, being at the General Class was more suitable.

By the time Long Dangdang had finished all these tasks, his companions had finally chosen their own desired equipment and returned.

There were still more than three thousand merits left in the team. According to the price of Glorious Class equipment, they could actually exchange for a good piece of equipment. However, Long Dangdang didn’t do so, but reserved these merits for any potential needs. Equipment isn’t only available in demon hunting teams. Actually, their biggest gain from this expedition was magical beast blood.

"Thank you, elder. We’ll be leaving now," Long Dangdang said his goodbyes to the middle-aged man at the exchange counter, ready to leave with his partners.

"Wait a moment." The middle-aged man stopped them.

"Is there anything else?" Long Dangdang asked. At this time, there was only this staff member left in the exchange area as the deputy director named Ah Jiu had already left.

The middle-aged man said, "The deputy director asked me to remind you that everything you got today, as well as the matter you reported, should be kept strictly confidential until it’s publicly announced by the headquarters. Understand?"

Long Dangdang cracked a smile and said, "Understood."

The middle-aged man nodded satisfactorily, "Then congratulations to you all. I dare say that no team of the same rank could compare to what you’ve gained this time. And by that, I mean the General Class. Go back, quickly absorb what you’ve obtained, and strive to complete your tasks. The Exchange Center is looking forward to your next visit."

Long Dangdang secretly sneered. This wasn’t what he said when I asked for magical beast blood earlier.

After leaving the Demon Hunters Headquarters, everyone felt invigorated. Long Kongkong, even more so, sidled up to Long Dangdang, "Elder bro, guess what kind of equipment I got?"

Long Dangdang glanced at him, "I suppose it’s something to do with ’safety first’?"

Long Kongkong immediately revealed a look of ’you know me so well’.

Long Dangdang, ignoring him, said to the other team members, "Let’s have a meeting together and discuss the direction for the future."

Following that, he took his partners back to the Spirit Furnace Academy dormitory where they couldn’t live for much longer.

The room door was closed, and a soundproof barrier was set up.

Tao Linlin laughed and said, "Now that our team leader has returned, we immediately have a backbone. It feels different."

Ming Xi nodded repeatedly, her pretty face full of joy. She was obviously very satisfied with the equipment she had just obtained.

Long Dangdang smiled and said, "But there are many things we have to face. Firstly, our accommodation. It’s not confirmed yet where we’ll be assigned in the future. But I believe everyone prefers to stay in Holy City, right?"

Without a doubt, the Holy City, blessed with the 6 Great Sacred Temples, and the Demon Hunters Headquarters makes for the ideal base. Here, it’s much easier to acquire resources, information, and tasks compared to other places.

After getting confirmation from his teammates, Long Dangdang continued, "We have been promoted to the General Class demon hunting team, and we should be assigned a new base soon. The reason why I offered the secrets of Blood Refining Golden Body to the Demon Hunters Headquarters instead of the Temple is that I plan to apply for a permanent station at the Holy City tomorrow. I believe there is a high chance our application will be approved."

Long Kongkong asked, "Wouldn’t the headquarters dispatch us somewhere else because we acquired too much, or because we are too excellent?"

Long Dangdang replied, "No. Do you remember what the senior from the exchange center advised us before we left today? Although we managed to obtain plenty of magical beast blood from the headquarters, what they stand to gain by utilizing the cultivation technique of Blood Refining Golden Body to obtain magical beast innate talent skills is far more than what we acquired. Therefore, we don’t need to worry about the headquarters at all. But it’s critical that we keep this secret. The headquarters wouldn’t want the information to be inadvertently leaked because of our absence. Hence, there is a high probability that our application to station at the Holy City would pose no issue."

Yue Li laughed and said, "The team leader has thought things through thoroughly." Everyone agreed wholeheartedly; this was the reality.

Long Dangdang continued, "If we are to station in the Holy City, we need to find a place there. According to the rules of the demon hunting team, each team decides where they base themselves. We also need to find a place that suits us."

Long Kongkong proposed, "How about we set up near the Temple Headquarters? It’s the safest place, and if anything happens, they can provide immediate support."

Long Dangdang gave him a look, this guy was just short of suggesting basing ourselves next to Hep’s Ribs Shop.

Ling Menglu advised, "Being close to the headquarters has its pros and cons. The headquarters houses many powerful individuals whose spiritual power covers a vast area. If we are too close, we will lose all privacy. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend it."

Long Dangdang said, "Think about our base location, everyone, then let’s make a decision. But we should wait for approval from the headquarters first. Next, let’s discuss the Blood Refining Golden Body. Kongkong, Sister Wang, Ming Xi and I have decided to practice Blood Refining Golden Body. The next step for the two of you is to decide which magical beast blood to primarily use for cultivation, and thus acquire the bloodline innate talent skill. I’ll provide you with a list of the available magical beast blood. The best talent skill is the one that fits you the most."

Wang Changxin nodded her head, her eyes filled with excitement. Ming Xi lightly shivered, it was evident that she was still somewhat afraid of the pain caused by the Blood Refining Golden Body.

Long Dangdang’s gaze then shifted to the three Mages, requesting, "I have explained all the advantages that Blood Refining Golden Body brings. So, what do you choose? We can confirm that your outer spiritual power will definitely exceed the 1000 threshold if you want to acquire innate talent skills. Once it exceeds 1000, you have to continue down this path. There is no turning back."

Tao Linlin blinked her eyes and then turned to look at Yue Li.

Yue Li said, "I will not practice Blood Refining Golden Body. This cultivation technique is more suitable for close-combat professionists. And as the team’s mage, I am the primary damage dealer. If I spend too much time on Blood Refining Golden Body, my strength enhancement will be significantly affected. I can’t manage both. So, I will focus on increasing my cultivation level."

Tao Linlin, with a bitter expression, wasn’t as clear in her thinking as Yue Li. As a summoner, his own spiritual power and physical endurance can affect his summoned beasts, unlike a mage who primarily focuses on spiritual power. Therefore, if the outer spiritual power continues to increase, it will greatly help him. However, he also knew what it felt like to practice Blood Refining Golden Body. The mere thought of that pain was enough to freak him out, let alone keeping his outer spiritual power at the same level as his inner spiritual power for continuous advancement. If there were no innate talent skills, he wouldn’t hesitate and definitely wouldn’t choose to practice it. However, as a summoner, if he could possess his summoned beast’s innate talent skill and coordinate with it, he knew only too well what a leap it would be.

Long Dangdang looked at Ling Menglu, "Cousin, what do you think?"

Ling Menglu replied, "Initially, I agreed with Yue Li’s view. But after blending with the Power Sphere of Light today, I’m wavering. If I practice Blood Refining Golden Body and absorb the blood of light specialty magical beasts, the absorption will be much easier, and the pain will be within an acceptable range. Therefore, I want to give it a try."

For the first time today, Long Dangdang showed a surprised expression. When he initiated this proposal, he was mainly targeting Tao Linlin, hoping he could make a decision. It was unexpected that his cousin took the lead in making the decision. He knows very well that even if light specialty magical beast blood is relatively easier to absorb, it definitely does not mean it’s painless.
