"Huh?"
Si Miaoyin was stunned, not expecting Li Xuanxiao to ultimately choose this hall.
Among the eight halls of the Demon Slaying Division, the Mission Hall was the most loosely organized. In a strict sense, it didn't even count as a proper hall. It was more like a communal area for picking up tasks. Not only were its members loose, unorganized, and undisciplined, but its rules and regulations were practically non-existent.
The other halls jokingly referred to the Mission Hall as the Retirement Hall; its members could maintain their status in the Demon Slaying Division without doing anything at all.
The other halls, however, had official ranks and various assessments. Martial Artists who failed to meet the requirements were very likely to be purged from the Demon Slaying Division! Only the Mission Hall had almost no rigid assessments!
Martial Artists who joined the Mission Hall were generally labeled as lacking ambition and having no desire to improve.
Si Miaoyin suddenly felt a bit disappointed; he clearly had such great talent, yet he didn't think about taking it further or properly cherishing it.
It really was...
Her mood suddenly dropped a few notches. "Oh, I see..."
"Then I wish you a bright future. I have things to do, so I'll be going now."
Looking at Si Miaoyin, who had inexplicably become dejected, Li Xuanxiao was momentarily confused.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Li Xuanxiao didn't bother to dwell on it and turned to walk straight into the Demon Slaying Division. He still had many things to do!
After joining the Demon Slaying Division, the very first thing was to get a good blade! His Constable blade had been scrapped during this mission; a Martial Artist couldn't go without a weapon!
Next was flight Martial Art, which was also a top priority. He planned to begin high-intensity demon slaying next, which would frequently require traveling long distances. Obviously, in this situation, flying through the sky would be faster!
Finally, there was the acquisition of other Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts, which should have been ranked first. But because of that massive haul in the Scripture Pavilion, he now had both Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts of the Xuan Realm grade.
So now, he wasn't actually lacking much in that regard. One could only say he still needed them, but it wasn't urgent. Getting a few more books would certainly be the icing on the cake!
From several battles, he had already deeply realized that every Martial Art and Cultivation Technique had its own value.
So, in this aspect, the more, the better! However, the premise of 'the more, the better' was having enough Demon value Points to upgrade them.
In other words, he still needed to slay more demons!
With that, everything formed a perfect closed loop.
After organizing his inner plan, Li Xuanxiao submitted his application to join the Demon Slaying Division. When asked about his Realm, he hesitated slightly but ultimately said Profound Realm First Layer.
At his age, the eighth layer of the Xuan Realm was simply too inconceivable. It was likely that throughout the entire history of the Great Feather Dynasty, it would be hard to find a second person like that.
But he didn't expect that even the Profound Realm First Layer would draw many sideways glances. It seemed that even the Profound Realm First Layer at this age was already considered exceptionally gifted.
After recording Li Xuanxiao's information and his intended hall, the Staff Member gave Li Xuanxiao a jade token and told him to go back and wait for notice.
Li Xuanxiao gave a slight bitter smile as he held the jade token, feeling for a moment that this process was strikingly similar to job interviews in his past life. However, in his past life, if they said to go back and wait for notice, it almost certainly meant you were rejected.
Not bothering to think more on it, Li Xuanxiao simply started wandering around inside the Demon Slaying Division.
Since he had nothing to do for the moment and no weapon, he didn't need to think about going out to slay demons. He wandered along, taking everything in.
Of course, he couldn't enter the interiors of the various halls.
After all, he wasn't an official member of the Demon Slaying Division yet, so he could only wander in the public areas. He wanted to familiarize himself with the different areas of the Demon Slaying Division and broaden his horizons while he was at it.
Spirit Pill Workshop, Hundred Herb Pavilion, Cultivation Technique Tower, Divine Weapon Supervision Office...
Li Xuanxiao wandered around and truly saw a lot.
As expected of the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division; he hadn't looked around properly last time, but this time was a real eye-opener. All sorts of miraculous Spirit Pills and medicines, various rare Heaven And Earth Treasures...
Extreme Realm and even Xuan Realm Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques, as well as Martial Artist weapons that looked quite extraordinary at a glance!
Li Xuanxiao's eyes turned red with envy, wishing he could take them all for himself.
Unfortunately, most were traded for using contribution points, and he hadn't officially joined the Demon Slaying Division yet.
Naturally, he had no contribution points. Thinking of contribution points, Li Xuanxiao suddenly remembered Liu Gelin's words.
'If you join the Demon Slaying Division, you can come find me at the Law Enforcement Hall!'
At this thought, Li Xuanxiao immediately changed his route and headed for the Law Enforcement Hall. In front of the Law Enforcement Hall, after waiting for the guard to announce him, Li Xuanxiao was led into the main hall.
Liu Gelin, who was flipping through a register, slowly looked up at Li Xuanxiao and revealed a slight smile.
"Decided to join the Demon Slaying Division?"
Li Xuanxiao gave a bow. "Yes, Lord Liu."
Liu Gelin nodded. "Do you have an intended hall?"
Li Xuanxiao responded immediately, "I have decided to join the Mission Hall."
"Oh?"
Liu Gelin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "The Mission Hall? Are you clear on the functions and differences of each hall?"
Li Xuanxiao nodded. "I have already consulted Lady Miaoyin regarding information on the various halls."
"Even so, you still choose to join the Mission Hall..."
Liu Gelin sighed lightly; he had originally intended to recruit Li Xuanxiao under his command.
After all, among the eight halls of the Demon Slaying Division, there was both cooperation and competition between each hall. When various resources issued by the Demon Slaying Division's Royal City headquarters reached the regional branches, they would be redistributed. The basis for distribution was the comprehensive contribution of each hall.
Therefore, every hall would absorb and cultivate excellent Martial Artists to increase their total contribution, thereby increasing the resources the hall could receive. If Li Xuanxiao could join the Law Enforcement Hall, it would be a great thing for them. Liu Gelin would also tilt more resources toward cultivating Li Xuanxiao.
But now it seemed the other party had already made a decision.
"Very well..."
Liu Gelin smiled; everyone has their own ambitions, and there was no need to force it.
"The merit I mentioned to you before—I will convert it into contribution points for you now."
Hearing this, Li Xuanxiao immediately thanked him.
Liu Gelin took out a jade token from his sleeve. "There are 500 contribution points in here. You can exchange them for various resources you need in the relevant areas of the Demon Slaying Division."
He casually tossed it to Li Xuanxiao.
After a pause, Liu Gelin spoke again. "If you regret it, you can also come find me. I still think highly of you!"
Li Xuanxiao took the jade token and thanked him again. "Thank you, Lord Liu!"
Liu Gelin nodded and said no more.
Li Xuanxiao tactfully took his leave. Leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Li Xuanxiao immediately showed a look of joy.
500 contribution points—that was not a small amount!
He had wandered around earlier and seen many good blades in the Divine Weapon Supervision Office! They could be exchanged for only about a hundred contribution points.
So what was he waiting for? Li Xuanxiao immediately changed his route and headed straight for the Divine Weapon Supervision Office. With a stronger weapon, his combat power would increase significantly once again!
