#5 - Chapter 5: Wild Grass and Bones

At the same time, Fairy Nishang also announced that this war with the Demonic Path was not something that Blackwater Fortress was resisting alone. All the sects and families of the Azure Province Righteous Alliance would participate in this war against the Demonic Path.

Faced with Fairy Nishang's call for law enforcement team members to deal with Demonic Path individuals, your choice is...

A. Refuse, stay at home and cultivate slowly. What Demonic Path, Demonic Path, it has nothing to do with me. Let the Demonic Path kill people as they please.

B. Accept, join the law enforcement team, become a demon-exterminating law enforcement team member, and exchange the heads of every Demonic Path brat for contribution points.

Which option to choose?

Lin Changqing did not hesitate and directly chose option B.

Participating in the war between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path was not just a matter of considering it from a moral standpoint.

Choosing option B would also help him quickly improve his cultivation in this simulation.

He had inferior wood spiritual roots. According to his talent, if he didn't have any other resources, even after decades of cultivation, he would probably only break through one level and be stuck at the sixth level of Qi training.

After the sixth level of Qi training is the seventh level of Qi training, which is the late stage of Qi training. Every cultivator who reaches the seventh level of Qi training will experience a qualitative breakthrough.

But correspondingly, it is also extremely difficult to break through, requiring a relatively high level of talent and resources.

This was not something he could break through by cultivating in seclusion.

But if he joined the law enforcement team, he would have the hope of obtaining a large amount of cultivation resources.

He knew about the contribution points that Fairy Nishang mentioned.

They could be exchanged for various rare cultivation resources in the City Lord's Mansion's treasury, including Foundation Establishment Pills.

The City Lord's Mansion's treasury also had Breakthrough Pills for breaking through from the sixth level of Qi training to the seventh level of Qi training.

Normally, contribution points were extremely difficult to obtain, requiring a significant contribution to Blackwater Fortress.

But now, during the war between the Righteous and Demonic Paths, one contribution point could be obtained for killing a single member of the Demonic Path.

The war between the Righteous and Demonic Paths was both a crisis and an opportunity.

If he seized this opportunity in the war between the Righteous and Demonic Paths, he believed that the outcome of this simulation would definitely not be just stopping at the sixth level of Qi training.

You have chosen option B and accepted the City Lord's Mansion's call.

The next day, you went to the inner city to sign up to join the law enforcement team. Due to your peak fifth level of Qi training cultivation, you were assigned as the captain of a certain team, in charge of thirty loose cultivators.

Blackwater Fortress is located in Blackwater County of Azure Province. Blackwater County has thousands of county towns and a population of several million.

On the second day of becoming a law enforcement team member, you received a mission to go to Baian Town in Blackwater County to kill a Demonic Path individual at the early stage of the fifth level of Qi training.

You accepted the mission and quickly went to Baian Town. Arriving at Baian Town, you saw the Demonic Path individual grinning as he refined the myriad souls banner with the people of Baian Town. Without saying a word, you directly attacked. Your peak fifth level of Qi training cultivation directly crushed him.

Killing this Demonic Path individual at the fifth level of Qi training earned you ten contribution points.

The higher the cultivation level of the Demonic Path individual killed, the more contribution points you will receive.

But after obtaining the contribution points, you did not feel much joy. Looking at the scene in Baian Town, you fell into silence.

New ghosts are annoyed and old ghosts cry, the sound of rain is wet and chirping, women cry in the fields, no chickens crow for thousands of miles, wild grass lies across white bones.

Lin Changqing's fingers brushed over the text, and his eyes were filled with silence. With just a few words, he saw scenes of human tragedy.

The Demonic Path people were refining the myriad souls banner in Baian Town, wantonly killing people.

It should have been a idyllic scene of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. At this moment, however, white bones were everywhere.

Some women were crying while holding dead children, and some white-haired old men were burying several corpses with wooden eyes.

The corpses were of various sizes, including his newly married son and his old wife who had been with him all his life.

Looking at these scenes of human tragedy, Lin Changqing was speechless for a moment.

He still underestimated the extent of the Demonic Path people's bestiality!

Seeing the human tragedy in Baian Town, you became even more determined to kill Demonic Path individuals. You began to frantically accept missions, no longer just for the sake of pure cultivation breakthroughs.

In the year 330 of the Taixu Era, on April 2nd, you received a mission to kill two Demonic Path individuals at the fourth level of Qi training in Baiqiu Town.

On April 9th, you withdrew from Baiqiu Town. On the way through Erqing Town, you encountered a Demonic Path individual at the peak of the fifth level of Qi training. After three hours of fighting, you managed to kill him.

On May 3rd, after a month or so of short-term healing, you set off again, accepted a mission, and went to Qingniu Town to kill Demonic Path individuals.

June 8th...

July 7th, August 9th, October 5th...

December...

In this way, after a year of exterminating demons, you accumulated a large number of contribution points and exchanged them for cultivation resources, successfully breaking through to the sixth level of Qi training.

You, at the sixth level of Qi training, coupled with your excellent performance in exterminating demons over the past year, you were promoted to the captain of a squadron in the City Lord's Mansion.

In the year 331 of the Taixu Era, you continued to exterminate demons.

The information recorded on the panel next was all like this: Lin Changqing received a mission in a certain month of a certain year and killed Demonic Path individuals.

In the year 332 of the Taixu Era, he killed a Demonic Path gang leader at the sixth level of Qi training in Qing'an County.

In the year 338 of the Taixu Era, he encountered a Demonic Path team in the western part of Blackwater County and killed them.

In the year 339 of the Taixu Era, he exterminated demons in Qingqiu County...

In the year 342 of the Taixu Era, he killed in Taishui Lake...

In the year 345 of the Taixu Era, he killed in Jinshui County...

In the year 347 of the Taixu Era...

In this way, one kill after another, it was thirty years of exterminating demons!

In the year 360 of the Taixu Era, after thirty years of exterminating demons, you had a small reputation in Blackwater Fortress. In these thirty years, you killed a large number of Demonic Path individuals, accumulated a large number of contribution points, and exchanged them for many cultivation resources. Now you are at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training and are the captain of a large team, with more than two hundred loose cultivators under your command.

After thirty years of exterminating demons, you have changed from a young man with black hair to an old man with gray hair.

Lin Changqing's fingers brushed over this line of text, and he saw an old man in green clothes. His face was full of wrinkles, and his figure was a little hunched.

But his eyes had the vicissitudes of life and a soaring murderous aura, just like thirty years ago, when he was full of black hair. After seeing the tragic image of white bones and wild grass in Baian Town, he developed a killing intent towards the Demonic Sect.

In these thirty years, he killed countless Demonic Path individuals. There were many old injuries on his body, and his hair turned gray, which proved that his vitality was weakening.

His body became hunched, which was ten years ago when he was slashed in the back by a Demonic Path leader at the tenth level of Qi training.

His body ached so much that he could not straighten his back.

But these thirty years also allowed him to go from the fifth level of Qi training to the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, only one step away from the perfect tenth level of Qi training.

In these thirty years, he saved countless people, and some people built temples for him and offered sacrifices to thank him for killing Demonic Path individuals.

"Thirty years already..."

Seeing the scene in the text, Lin Changqing was a little dazed.

The simulated scenes in the text were extremely real. It was as if he had really spent thirty years of exterminating demons in another time and space.
