Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 146 - Breakthrough   



Chapter 146: Breakthrough

  

In the Demon Judgment Division, many human cultivators were cleaning up.

“What a mess this is.”

“You demons are hiding something. You bring everything in here.”

...

“You demons are really disgusting. Oh my god, what is this sticky thing on the table? It stinks.”

All the older generation of demons in the Demon Judgment Division were expelled. They had nothing to do with the Demon Judgment Division anymore. They were employees who had been fired.

Although these lowly humans were now riding on their heads and shitting on them, there was nothing they could do.

Hu Jiujiu had sent a new group of managers to split the humans and demons into half. Furthermore, she had told them clearly that they were equals and not to cause trouble. The expelled demons waited outside gloomily, waiting for their things to be cleared before they could take them away.

“What kind of thing is this?”

“When did these despicable humans become so arrogant?”

“In my opinion, we should eat all these humans now.”

“Eat? The next thing you know, you’ll be arrested.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Just eat it and run. In any case, Ping City will belong to the human race in the future. There will be no place for us demons.”

The demons in Ping City were discussing the current situation. However, looking at the rise of the entire human race, they had a consensus. They regretted letting Hu Jiujiu become the City Lord so easily.

Hu Jiujiu had clearly come prepared. She was too close to the human race. It seemed that the rumor circulating among the humans was very likely true.

If Hu Jiujiu was really the puppet of the Sword Immortal, then it would probably be even more difficult for the demons in Ping City in the future.

In the Demon Alliance, Zhang Muyun, who was at a disadvantage, finally took on the role of the Alliance Leader.

Recently, people from the same race kept coming to report that the cultivation situation of the demons had become increasingly difficult.

Zhang Muyun naturally felt it too. Ever since the mineral vein was lost, the concentration of spiritual energy in the demon gathering area had instantly decreased countless times. In addition, the restriction on the human side had been removed. Now, the gap between the two sides was gradually shrinking.

If this continued, the slaves they had enslaved for so many years would probably suffer a strong backlash. Even now, there were already signs of it.

“Can you let us see the City Lord?”

The elder of the Zhang family stood outside the City Lord Manor and waited.

“I’m sorry, the City Lord is meeting an important guest now. Come another day.”

“I have something very important to discuss with the City Lord.”

“The City Lord has instructed that no one is to disturb her now.” The guard blocked his way.

“Could it be that she’s forgotten how she came to be the City Lord after just a few days?”

Today, he had come here on behalf of many elders of the demon race. However, he did not expect to be rejected.

This City Lord was really arrogant.

However, no matter how much he complained here, he could not change the fact that he had been rejected. The guard still refused to let him in.

“Good! What a good City Lord!”

In the City Lord Manor, Li Yuanqing looked down at the many elders of the Demon Race gathered below.

“What does Master plan to do with them?”

After Hu Jiujiu became the City Lord, her clothes became much more formal, and she looked more heroic.

Li Yuanqing shook his head in disdain and said, “These people are no longer capable. Let them be.”

Li Yuanqing shook his head slightly and stopped looking. After losing the mineral vein, they were no longer a threat to him.

Just as he walked into Hu Jiujiu’s hall, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

[System detected the City Lord Manor of Ping City, do you want to sign in?]

“Sign in!”

Li Yuanqing chose without hesitation.

[Sign-in successful. Reward received.]

[Reward One: 30 domain fragments!]

[Reward Two: 100 years of cultivation!]

“Choose Reward Two.”

Li Yuanqing could sense that after the black dragon’s restriction was broken, there was an even greater danger behind it.

Under such circumstances, he had to increase his cultivation as much as possible to deal with the changes in the future.

[Reward issued successfully.]

A majestic energy instantly surged into Li Yuanqing’s body. Li Yuanqing controlled this energy and kept condensing it in his body. His aura continued to roll upward. After a long time, the energy around Li Yuanqing slowly stabilized.

“Second-grade Formation Arrangement Realm!”

“Congratulations, Master. Congratulations.” Hu Jiujiu stood at the side excitedly.

Li Yuanqing’s cultivation speed was too fast. Compared to the many demons, it was simply flying.

A second-grade Formation Arrangement Realm expert was like a god in Ping City.

The moment Li Yuanqing broke through, a trace of his aura leaked out. The demons and elders who were originally planning to find an explanation outside the City Lord Manor suddenly felt a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

This fear made them feel very uneasy. They did not even know where this fear came from before it suddenly disappeared. It was as if it had never happened. They looked left and right out of thin air, trying to find the source of this power that terrified them, but in the end, they found nothing.

“What happened? What was that feeling?”

“I don’t know. Did someone else break through?”

“Impossible! Who would cause such a huge commotion after breaking through?”

The demon elders retreated in shock.

At this moment, the Zhang family’s elder, who happened to be the representative, walked out. He had been walking just now when he felt that strange energy.

“Everyone, what happened?”

“We don’t know either. It seems like there is indeed a powerful force in the City Lord Manor.”

“No matter what, let’s retreat first.”

Everyone saw that they did not gain anything this time. They were not even allowed to enter the City Lord Manor. Although this made them feel dejected, they probably had no better choice in the current situation. Moreover, the energy that leaked out just now was too terrifying.

“I might have some things to do in the next few days. You can make your own decisions here.” As Li Yuanqing spoke, he appeared on the city gate tower of the City Lord Manor.

“Master, don’t worry. Little Jiu will definitely take good care of it.”

After leaving the City Lord Manor, Li Yuanqing returned to the huge square in the center of Ping City. The black dragon restriction was not far from the square.

After arriving at the square, Li Yuanqing also heard that familiar voice in his mind.

[System detected Ping City’s Central Square. Do you want to sign in?]

“Sign in!”

[Sign-in successful.]

[Reward One: Wind Demon Sword.]

[Reward Two: 100 Divine Origin Pills.]

He did not know what was so special about this sword, but Li Yuanqing had a weapon in his hands now. He did not have any special needs for weapons.

“Choose Reward Two.”

In a short while, a hundred Divine Origin Pills were in his hands.

Li Yuanqing, who was in the Formation Arrangement Realm, could also replenish a lot of spiritual energy. He did not expect that after his cultivation level increased, he would be able to sign in for so many higher-level pills here.

Li Yuanqing was extremely excited.

Recently, he had been busy with the black dragon’s restriction, so there were fewer sign-ins. However, ever since the black dragon’s restriction was destroyed, the frequency of signing in had increased.

Li Yuanqing put away the pills and changed places.

As expected, he tirelessly gained a lot after he made a big round in Ping City. Not only did he have many pills in his hands, but he also obtained a few treasures.

It just so happened that Li Yuanqing’s cultivation level had increased too quickly recently, causing his entire foundation to be very unstable. He needed some time to cultivate in seclusion.

Taking these pills when he was in seclusion could greatly increase his stability.

Coincidentally, the entire Ping City was still stable under Hu Jiujiu’s governance.

Li Yuanqing returned to his quiet residence and sat there for three days.

Three days later, when Li Yuanqing’s courtyard door opened again, his entire state was clearly much better. His eyes were sharp and his aura was reserved.

“Congratulations, Master!”

The Man-eating Vine carefully guarded outside. When she saw Li Yuanqing coming out, she hurriedly went up to him.

The Man-eating Vine had also devoured many demon cultivators recently, and her cultivation level had increased significantly.

Li Yuanqing flipped his hand and a wooden box appeared in his hand.

The Man-eating Vine skillfully took the box and opened it. There were a hundred Divine Origin Pills with rich spiritual energy lying quietly inside.

The rich spiritual energy here was enough to help the Man-eating Vine advance one or two realms.

“Thank you for your reward, Master!”

Li Yuanqing reached out and pressed his hand on the man-eating vine’s head, and her body instantly disappeared. He sent the little fellow into his domain to recuperate.

During this period of time, the man-eating vine’s spiritual power was too chaotic, and the spiritual power in her body was even more chaotic. He needed some time to digest it.

After the Man-eating Vine disappeared, a spiritual light flashed in the small courtyard and Hu Jiujiu suddenly landed.

This dignified City Lord had actually appeared in such an inconspicuous courtyard.

If the people outside or the cultivators of the demon race found out, they would probably surround this place.

Hu Jiujiu looked at Li Yuanqing happily. Through her senses, she knew that Li Yuanqing had called her over to reward her. Although she had become the City Lord, the resources that the City Lord could obtain were nothing compared to the pills in Li Yuanqing’s hands.

Li Yuanqing also took out a hundred Divine Origin Pills and gave them to Hu Jiujiu. He still had a few hundred left. He would give each of them a hundred each to eat.

If outsiders heard this, they would probably frown.

The Divine Origin Pill was an extremely rare item. It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary cultivator to obtain one. However, this guy actually took out box after box. He took out hundreds of them.

This level of extravagance was simply shocking.

Hu Jiujiu did not enter the domain. Instead, she returned to the City Lord Manor to stabilize her cultivation.

“Master, why don’t you stay in the City Lord Manor with me?” Hu Jiujiu complained in front of Li Yuanqing.

“Why?”

“Now that the entire City Lord Manor is yours, why should you stay here? You might as well stay in the City Lord Manor with me. It’s safer inside anyway.”

“Do you think I won’t be safe outside?” Li Yuanqing smiled at Hu Jiujiu.

Hu Jiujiu said coquettishly, “No! Anyway, Little Jiu doesn’t want to run around like this. Let’s live in the City Lord Manor together. Don’t live outside anymore.”

There was no one in Ping City who could hurt Li Yuanqing. No matter where Li Yuanqing lived, his safety was guaranteed. However, the City Lord Manor was heavily guarded. If he wanted to keep it a secret, it was indeed more suitable to stay inside.

However, Li Yuanqing had no intention of staying there.

“Alright, I know what you mean. Go back and find me a quiet courtyard outside the City Lord Manor.” Li Yuanqing instructed.

Although Hu Jiujiu still did not persuade Li Yuanjing to stay in the City Lord Manor, Li Yuanqing still gave in.

“Alright, Master. Little Jiu knows. After we go back, I’ll help Master find a quiet place.”

“Go back.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the distant sky and frowned. The flying ants came back a little too slowly.

Just as Li Yuanqing urged them, a dense patch of red appeared in the sky. The red flying ants obediently landed beside Li Yuanqing. However, Li Yuanqing realized that there were much fewer flying ants than before.

Where did these ants go? Could they have been stolen?

There were originally hundreds of millions of flying ants, but now, there were probably only twenty to thirty million left.

Li Yuanqing watched as they mysteriously disappeared. He did not dare to be careless anymore and sent all the flying ants into his domain. They had already done a lot of things outside during this period of time. As for why they had suddenly lost such a large amount, he had to find out.

Li Yuanqing rose into the air and scanned his surroundings.

It was definitely not the demons since they had suffered a huge loss in strength. They did not have the ability to take away so many flying ants. In that case, it must be something that the human race has done. However, after being repressed for so many years, who had the ability to take away the flying ants?

Li Yuanqing looked at the human residences, but he could not tell anything.

He had a vague guess in his heart. On one side were the injured demons, and on the other side were the humans who had been suppressed for many years. It didn’t sound like either side was strong enough.

In the human residences below, a human cultivator suddenly felt that he was being stared at. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. However, the place he looked up at was indeed empty. There was nothing there. He shook his head gloomily, thinking that he had seen wrongly.

“Why do I feel so strange recently?”
