Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: What Do You Think of Si Miaoyin?

Under the gaze of many people from the Demon Slaying Division, Li Xuanxiao also sat down at the discussion table.

In their eyes, Li Xuanxiao now fully possessed the qualifications to sit as an equal among them.

A Mystic Martial Artist, even looking across the entire Dayu Dynasty, was already considered a strong figure. A person of this caliber would not be ignored wherever he went.

Even if he left the Dayu Dynasty, countless human nations would be willing to open their doors to him.

Li Xuanxiao felt a bit awkward; he didn't particularly like crowded situations, and he was especially resistant to formal and serious settings like this. He had always tried his best to avoid such formal meetings, but now he had no choice but to stay here.

The people before him were all important figures in the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division. Even the highest military official of Pei Prefecture, Commander Si Yiwu, was present, making it difficult for him to slip away. He could only grit his teeth and sit down, listening to them continue to discuss the current situation in Pei Prefecture.

At the discussion table, the previously worried faces of several Hall Masters had smoothed out. Yang Zhiru had also returned to his usual calm and detached demeanor. The Commander's habitually cold and stern face had softened considerably.

A Mystic Martial Artist who could act freely could bring far greater assistance than hundreds of people below the Mystic Realm!

Don't look at how many Xuan Realm and Extreme Realm Martial Artists from the Demon Slaying Division had been dispatched to guard the various cities of Pei Prefecture.

But what they could accomplish was, at best, related to the gain or loss of a single city. From a broader perspective, the role they could play was actually negligible.

Li Xuanxiao, however, was different. If this demonic upheaval were compared to a war, he was the one who could truly change the tide of the battle.

At the discussion table, discussions continued. The Hall Masters, abandoning their previous depression, spoke enthusiastically, and the atmosphere became quite lively.

Li Xuanxiao, however, found himself drowsy listening to them. All he wanted now was to quickly exchange his contribution points to redeem more Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts.

There were also better divine weapons and sharp blades, and more Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines.

108 Xuan Realm Demon Kings, 875 Extreme Realm Great Demons...

He should be able to exchange for quite a few contribution points, right?

He wondered if he could ask Commander Yang or the others to exchange for Mystic Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts?

The Patrol Hall Master had previously mentioned that within the Pei Prefecture Demon Slaying Division, only the Commander and Vice General Yang practiced Mystic Cultivation Techniques. Since they could practice Mystic Cultivation Techniques, it was very likely they also possessed Mystic Martial Arts!

If he could get his hands on one, his combat strength would instantly skyrocket!

Li Xuanxiao showed a look of anticipation, but then slowly calmed down, feeling a bit worried.

Damn it, Mystic Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts are great, but the Demon value Points required to advance even one Realm is truly substantial! Entry alone requires a starting point of 3000, and even 7000 isn't enough to reach the Minor Achievement Realm.

And after Minor Achievement comes Major Achievement, after Major Achievement comes Perfection, and after Perfection comes Transcendent...

Li Xuanxiao's vision darkened; he didn't dare to think about how much Demon value Points would be needed!

Slaying one Xuan Realm Demon King only yields a few hundred Demon value Points. Just to enter the threshold requires slaying several, perhaps even over ten!

Does that sound like not much? The key is, where would he find that many Xuan Realm Demon Kings for him to slay?

In the past month, he had traveled quite a distance.

But even with the help of the 'Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal,' which allowed him to see the hiding spots of demons immediately,

On average, he could only find 2-3 per day. With this accumulation speed, if he wanted to raise his Mystic Cultivation Technique and Martial Arts to the Transcendent Realm, how long would it take?

It seems the idea of accumulating Demon value Points by slaying Xuan Realm demons can no longer keep up with the current demand...

Li Xuanxiao pondered internally, 'Then... should I try slaying a few Demon Emperors?'

A Xuan Realm Demon King only yields a few hundred Demon value Points. If it's a Mystic Demon Emperor, it should start at least at one thousand, right?

This way, the accumulation speed would almost increase tenfold! It would be just right to meet the consumption of the Mystic Cultivation Technique!

While Li Xuanxiao was wandering afar, time passed quickly, and the discussion finally concluded. After comprehensively considering various conditions, the Commander made the final decision!

The final plan was to dispatch Li Xuanxiao to operate externally, also adopting a method of random combat. 

You fight your fight, I fight mine, reclaiming our own initiative. Never engage the enemy at the time, place, or in the manner the enemy expects.

Secondly, use flexible mobility and combat to maneuver and restrain the enemy, guiding the war entirely onto a track advantageous to them. Engage the enemy completely actively, following one's own rhythm and methods.

Once the plan was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy stone pressing on their hearts finally showed signs of being moved.

It all depended on how far Li Xuanxiao could go.

The meeting ended, and everyone left one after another. Li Xuanxiao let out a soft breath. It was finally over; his legs were numb from sitting!

He also stood up, preparing to leave, but was stopped by Si Yiwu.

"Kid, what do you think of my niece, Si Miaoyin?"

Straight to the point!

Ah!?

What do I think? I think while standing, I suppose.

Li Xuanxiao was stunned. He had thought of many things the Commander might say to keep him behind. For example, asking him how he managed to advance to the Mystic Realm in such a short time, or perhaps explaining other details of the plan...

But he never expected that he would ask this!

Li Xuanxiao scratched his head: "Uh... Lady Miaoyin is certainly a very talented Martial Artist, and she has also taken quite good care of me..."

Si Yiwu raised an eyebrow.

The phrase 'very talented' coming from this kid sounded rather like mockery.

"You know I'm not asking about that..."

Si Yiwu quietly looked at Li Xuanxiao: "I'm asking what you think of Si Miaoyin in terms of romantic relationships between a man and a woman?"

"I have never seen that girl care so much about an opposite-sex individual. Before she left, she specifically instructed me to look after you and cultivate you well..."

Was there such a thing? This little girl, interesting!

Li Xuanxiao scratched his head: "In that regard, I really haven't considered it."

"Lady Miaoyin is young, beautiful, exceptionally talented, and born into a Martial Arts noble family in the Royal City. I imagine she won't lack suitors. As for me, I'm just a bumpkin from a small place and never thought I could develop any deeper relationship with Lady Miaoyin."

Si Yiwu chuckled lightly: "You don't need to worry about that aspect. Your talent destined you to not be an ordinary person. I just want to know your true thoughts about her right now."

Li Xuanxiao pondered for a moment.

Young, beautiful, exceptionally gifted in Martial Arts, distinguished family background.

What man could refuse such a woman?

When you meet a good person, establish a family first.

When you meet a benefactor, establish a career first.

Meet a rich woman, establish a family and career!

Meeting Si Miaoyin...

Li Xuanxiao sat up straight: "I hope Commander isn't laughing, but my dream since childhood has been to be kept by a rich woman and live off her comfortably..."
