Chapter 453: Chapter 225: Removal of Punishment_2

Zisang Liuying was taken aback, "The issues brought on by the Federation’s system? What do you mean?"

Long Dangdang said, "What if our Federation had adopted cremation from the start? Then, no matter how many years had passed, this problem wouldn’t exist."

Ling Menglu, who was standing nearby, brightened her eyes and said, "Are you saying we should take this direction in pushing for changes?"

Long Dangdang said, "We’re of humble origin and have no standing, but I believe that the leaders of the 6 Great Sacred Temples and the Federation also know that the burial of our predecessors is the most significant supply source for wraith entities. If we want to push for the cremation of our predecessors, we need to be firm in our policies. Maybe it would be easier to change funeral customs first."

Long Kongkong lazily said, "There’s also another way."

Long Dangdang gave him a glance, "Do you have a better idea?"

Long Kongkong chuckled and said, "When I become more powerful, I’ll use the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace to absorb them all. If there are no wraith entities, then there won’t be any problems, right?"

This statement of his naturally received nothing but rolled eyes.

The mission report was quickly rewritten. They left the report on the table and departed as soon as Long Dangdang brought the team together. As Troop Leader Jiu said, as long as their goal was achieved then it’s enough, they couldn’t overdo it!

As for how this matter would continue to develop, that didn’t warrant any attention from their group of "nobodies".

Return to camp and recuperate.

While Ling Menglu was healing her mental spirit ocean, she also began establishing array formations in the camp. Shielding and isolation arrays were prioritized, followed by Spirit Gathering Arrays and protective arrays, etc.

The small courtyard exclusive to Demon Hunter Team 19115897 had transformed into a defense stronghold in a matter of days.

Every night, everyone would gather in the courtyard for joint cultivation. With the assistance of the Divine Prayers Icy Moon Angel and the marvelous Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, it greatly helped everyone’s training.

However, distressing screams would often resound in the courtyard. They were the sounds of some people while cultivating the Blood Refining Golden Body.

The loudest cries didn’t come from Ling Menglu and Ming Xi, but from Tao Linlin who started trying the routine.

Only after trying it himself did he realize how intense and berserk the pain that came with the Blood Refining Golden Body could be. The first time he tried it, he let out a devastating scream. Thus, the nickname ’Peach Sister’ for him was set in stone. As for the mockery that followed, Tao Linlin had to endure it. After all, he was inferior to the girls when it came to bearing pain, wasn’t he?

A week later, the notice from Demon Hunters Headquarters finally arrived.

The 10,000 merit points that were deducted from Ling Menglu were returned and they even received an additional 8,000 merit points as a mission reward. Whether that reward was too small, they had no idea. But at least they managed to regain what they had lost.

Their total merits had already exceeded sixty thousand. If, as Troop Leader Jiu had said, the skills needed to upgrade the demon hunting team were halved, they would effectively have enough skill to level up. Of course, their power was still insufficient.

To become a Commander Class demon hunting team, the team’s collective cultivation level needs to reach the 7th Rank. Currently, they did not have a single person who had reached the 7th Rank.

Their strategy, outlined by Long Dangdang, was straightforward — focus primarily on cultivation and complete tasks as supplementary efforts. Even tasks which were not compulsory were not rushed.

They spent 10,000 merit points to obtain some valuable items for creating array formations from the Demon Hunters Headquarters. These items would be used by Ling Menglu to create better Spirit Gathering Arrays for everyone’s cultivation. As long as it wasn’t a compulsory task, Long Dangdang didn’t plan on getting the team involved.

Regardless of the profession, the rate of growth in skill during one’s youth is unsurpassed. This is because the body is most active during this stage. Moreover, having the existence of the three great Wisdom Spirit Furnaces, their cultivation speed is incomparable. Boosting their power is the most crucial thing. As for the remaining merits, they kept them on hold, and didn’t exchange them for equipment. Their current gear was more than sufficient for the time being.

Ling Menglu brought back news from her family. The Sacred Legate was aware that they had been meditating at the Demon Hunters Headquarters, but it seemed to have chosen to remain silent. Old Master Ling, however, reminded them to keep a low profile.

Indeed, they had kept their presence low-key, to a point where they were almost never seen outdoors. Apart from when they had to go out to purchase supplies, the seven of them hardly ever left their dwelling, instead focusing on intense cultivation. Everyone except Long Kongkong, who tried sneaking out several times but was caught by Long Dangdang, was more than happy to train.

For the other four members of the team, this rate of cultivation was unprecedented. They could feel their powers improving daily, and it was a great feeling.

Long Dangdang lay in the bathtub beneath the brilliant sunlight, quietly experiencing the dragon genus magical beast blood soak into his body. His skin began to emit a faint purple luminescence.

He and Long Kongkong had grown accustomed to the appearance of these purple traces on their skin, from the initial discomfort when these traces first appeared to the current acceptance.

As their cultivation deepened, these purple lines seemed to undergo some degree of transformation. The most significant change was that the lines themselves started to become more complex. Initially, they were merely simple diamond-shaped lines. Now, they varied in depth, had gained a three-dimensional quality, and were faintly luminescent. Likewise, their power was continuously growing throughout this process.

Due to the cultivation of the Blood Refining Golden Body, their progress in inner spiritual power was restricted by their outer spiritual power. If their outer spiritual power didn’t grow, then their inner spiritual power couldn’t improve. However, the cultivation of outer spiritual power was not influenced in this way, and could continuously increase.

After trading with the Demon Hunters Headquarters, they obtained a significant amount of beast blood, enough for a long period of time. The Ling family had also continuously purchased it through large auctions, accumulating a vast stock, especially dragon genus magical beast blood.

Long Kongkong’s progress in outer spiritual power was fast lately. Because the dragon genus magical beast blood he was currently using was of a higher level, one Rank higher than his cultivation level, the progress in his outer spiritual power was astounding. In just over a week, not only did his outer spiritual power break through the 5th Rank, but it was also continuously improving. He was nearing a score of 3,000. Although this growth was slower than before, if this progress continued, he would be able to reach the 6th Rank within a month. This rate of advancement was astonishing.

Because they used the earth magic dragon’s blood most frequently at the start, Long Kongkong consumed a ton of it and absorbed the Gravitational Control skill. Only then did they start to use the second type of dragon genus blood.

Compared to Long Kongkong, Long Dangdang’s progress was much slower. After reaching the 6th Rank, both his body and spiritual power seemed to change. Thus, during the cultivation process, despite his massive consumption of dragon genus magical beast blood, his outer spiritual power increased much slower than before. Of course, this could also be because he was using Level 7 magical beast blood instead of Level 8.

Not that he did not want to use Level 8 magical beast blood to enhance his own outer spiritual power. Indeed, his progress would have been quicker that way. However, after his outer spiritual power improved to a certain level, the blood of lower-level magical beasts would become ineffective. Wouldn’t the Level 7 dragon-like blood they got from the Demon Hunters Headquarters then go to waste? Moreover, Long Dangdang also valued the innate talent skill he would lose in the process.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry. Even if his progress was slower, he planned to use only Level 7 magical beast blood to upgrade his outer spiritual power from the 6th to the 7th Rank. In doing so, he could obtain more dragon genus magical beast inheritance skills. Also, another reason for his slower increase in outer spiritual power was because his golden dragon, Little Eight, was also absorbing the dragon blood from him and purifying it. However, Little Eight was very picky and only absorbed the most refined parts of each batch of dragon blood.
