Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: The Fourth Realm of the Martial Dao!

Under the surprised gaze of the Staff Member, he finished handing in the mission.

Received 50 contribution points!

Only now did Li Xuanxiao realize how big a gift Lord Liu, Liu Gelin, had given him. The other party truly thought highly of him; although there was an intention to win him over, he was indeed willing to invest.

500 contribution points—if earned at this rate, he would have to complete 30 missions at once!

Or take on more than a dozen missions of a higher Advanced level. The time spent would be measured in years!

However, after a moment's thought, Li Xuanxiao understood. He was completely dazzled by the abundant resources of the Demon Slaying Division.

One must know that if not for joining the Demon Slaying Division, these Xuan Realm Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, and weapons… Taking any one of them out, it could potentially serve as the Sect-Protecting Treasure of a Jianghu School! Yet here, they could be directly exchanged using contribution points.

Thinking of it this way, it was only normal that contribution points would be difficult to obtain.

He had gained a rough understanding from other Martial Artists about how many contribution points different levels of missions corresponded to.

Extreme Realm level was roughly: 3-5.

Xuan Realm level was roughly: 10-30.

Missions for the Strength Realm and those above the Xuan Realm were almost non-existent in the Mission Hall. After all, the Martial Artists of the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division were mainly at the two levels of Extreme Realm and Xuan Realm.

Only the Commander and the eight Hall Masters below him were above the Xuan Realm. But figures of that level were directly assigned missions by the headquarters above.

As for how many contribution points they could get, only they themselves would know.

Li Xuanxiao chuckled; he had nothing to be dissatisfied about.

There was plenty of time ahead; sooner or later, he would accumulate a considerable amount of contribution points to exchange for more Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts.

Now he was just waiting for news from the Patrol Hall; he was very much looking forward to this demon-slaying operation.

Firstly, he could verify the power of the Buddhist Dharma he had learned.

Secondly, the demons this time were clearly powerful; after slaying them, he would be able to obtain a considerable amount of Demon value Points!

Moreover, he was helping a Hall Master solve such a thorny problem; the other party obviously wouldn't mistreat him!

When the time came, he estimated another large sum of contribution points would come in!

It was much faster and more cost-effective than taking missions to kill demons on his own!

Three birds with one stone! ㄏ(▼∀▼)ㄏ

Pure profit, no losses!

With a slight curl of his lips, Li Xuanxiao walked out of the Mission Hall.

But he was stopped by a Martial Artist from the Patrol Hall: "May I ask if you are Lord Li Xuanxiao?"

Li Xuanxiao nodded: "Just call me Li Xuanxiao!"

The Martial Artist immediately bowed: "Lord Li Xuanxiao, thank you for saving my brother."

Your brother?

Li Xuanxiao thought for a moment and then realized: "That Inspector is your brother?"

The Martial Artist nodded: "If it weren't for you, my brother would surely have ended up like the other Inspectors… this kindness is something both my brother and I will keep in our hearts."

"Lord Li, if there is ever a place where you need us brothers in the future, just speak up, and we will certainly not refuse! Thank you once again."

The Martial Artist bowed again, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"We are all colleagues in the Demon Slaying Division, there's no need to be so polite."

Li Xuanxiao immediately helped up the other person who was about to bow again.

"By the way, Lord Li Xuanxiao, my brother has already woken up. The Hall Master sent me to invite you over. Please follow me!"

So fast!?

Li Xuanxiao nodded and followed him to the main hall of the Patrol Hall.

In the main hall, besides the Hall Master and the surviving Inspector...

There were also a man and a woman, two Martial Artists with slightly different uniforms.

"...That's the specific information. Hall Master, please dispatch at least three Martial Artists of the Sixth Layer of the Profound Realm or above..."

"...When those demons cooperate with each other, they can exert strength far greater than their individual power!"

"If they are below the Sixth Layer of the Profound Realm, they will have almost no power to resist when facing that kind of Demonic Technique!"

The Patrol Hall Master listened silently and nodded: "You go down and rest well first; leave the rest to us. Thank you for your hard work!"

That Inspector was immediately taken away.

Seeing Li Xuanxiao, the Patrol Hall Master showed a slight smile: "You're here."

Li Xuanxiao bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Hall Master!"

"No need for formalities. You heard what was just said; this operation will be very dangerous… But I have no choice but to ask you to go along. Because only your Buddhist Dharma can have a certain restraining effect on Demonic Techniques. In case someone is injured, only you can provide treatment."

The Patrol Hall Master paced slowly: "You are not a Martial Artist of my Patrol Hall; I originally have no right to forcibly demand you to do anything. You have no obligation to do it either, but the situation is urgent, so I have to make a compulsory request. Even if you are willing yourself, I have indeed broken the rules. Therefore, in addition to giving you the mission rewards you deserve, I will also give you extra compensation!"

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Li Xuanxiao pondered. He currently didn't lack Cultivation Techniques or Martial Arts; several Buddhist Dharmas at the Xuan Realm level were already quite sufficient. As for weapons, his current Asura Blade also met his requirements perfectly.

If there was something he urgently wanted, it would only be...

Everything related to the next Realm! Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, and all sorts of information.

With this thought, he spoke up clearly: "I hope to have a better understanding of the next Realm. If possible, I would like to obtain a Cultivation Technique or Martial Art above the Xuan Realm."

"Hiss—"

The other two Martial Artists gasped. This kid really dares to demand an exorbitant price!

The Patrol Hall Master's expression remained calm: "I can tell you information related to the next Realm, but as for the request for Cultivation Techniques or Martial Arts, I'm afraid I'm powerless."

Li Xuanxiao looked surprised; could it be that even a Hall Master didn't have the ability to obtain Cultivation Techniques or Martial Arts above the Xuan Realm?

Seeing Li Xuanxiao's expression, the Patrol Hall Master continued.

"The Ten Realms of the Martial Dao, the first three Realms are: Heavy, Extreme, and Xuan."

"Looking at the entire path of the Martial Dao, the first three Realms are equivalent to the early stage of the Martial Dao. Starting from the fourth Realm, a Martial Artist is considered to have officially stepped into the Middle Stage of the Martial Dao."

At this point, he glanced at Li Xuanxiao.

"A difference of a single word, yet worlds apart! The True Qi from the Extreme Realm and Xuan Realm periods will all be converted into more powerful True Essence at this time. The Martial Artist's own lifespan will also be greatly increased! From this Realm onwards, a person truly begins to shed their mortal coil and evolve towards a higher level of life!"

"And this Realm is called..."

"The Mystic Realm!"

Li Xuanxiao's mind was shaken, partly because he now knew the name of the fourth Realm of the Martial Dao. And also because reaching the Mystic Realm could actually increase one's lifespan!

This truly was the power of gods and ghosts!

Finally, it has that vibe of immortal cultivation~

"In my Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division, there are hundreds of Xuan Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts each! But for the Mystic Realm, there isn't even one! Therefore, I am powerless in that regard. If you want Cultivation Techniques or Martial Arts of a higher Realm, you can only continuously improve yourself. Strive to be absorbed by the headquarters and go to the Royal City Demon Slaying Division. Only there will you find Mystic Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts."

"But if you simply want to advance to the Mystic Realm, you don't necessarily have to practice a Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique..."

Li Xuanxiao raised an eyebrow; this statement shattered his understanding.

"Advancing to the Mystic Realm without practicing a Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique?"
