Leaving the courtyard.
Shen Changqing first went to the Martial Hall and placed the newly compiled summary of Martial Arts on the third level.
It was worth ntioning that half a month had passed, and the number of mbers in the Martial Hall had increased significantly. In accordance with his requirents, Zhong Ning was now continuously scouting for new candidates, recruiting anyone with strong talent into the Martial Hall. As a result, this led to a surge in the number of people in the Martial Hall. Originally, there were only a few dozen people, but now there were as many as 200, even more than the number during the Martial Hall's peak period.
With the increase in numbers, the Martial Hall seed rather crowded. If a few hundred more people were admitted, Shen Changqing doubted whether the Martial Hall could accommodate them all. This was an unavoidable issue. The Martial Hall, though large, could not possibly be too spacious. The fact that it could accommodate a few hundred people was already comndable. Of course, according to the current trend, it would still take so ti to reach that stage. After all, although there were many people in Great Qin, gathering those martial artists with unique talents was not particularly difficult, but neither was it easy.
For this reason, Shen Changqing specifically found Zhong Ning and Zhao Bai and asked them to establish a new set of rules. In the past, mbers of the Martial Hall could co and go as they pleased, without any restrictions. But now, with the increase in numbers, following the old practice was no longer sufficient. Hence, the rules needed to be re-established. In his opinion, the Martial Hall could completely emulate the Scripture Pavilion by setting a ti limit for each person's stay; this way, the pressure from the number of people could be greatly alleviated. Consider the Demon-Subduing Division; despite its many mbers, the Scripture Pavilion could accommodate them all precisely for this reason.
After dealing with the matters of the Martial Hall, Shen Changqing did not linger. He then went to the Demon-Subduing Prison to slay so newly captured Demon Evils before finally leaving the Capital City. He did not go to the Demon Sealing Tower because there was no need to. The last ti he went to the Demon Sealing Tower, he had already cleared out all the Demon Evils inside. Now, there were no Demon Evils left in the Demon Sealing Tower.
In the first place, capturing Demon Evils was an extrely difficult task. And now, after the Ghost Saint was slain at the Fallen Saint Pass and the Star Plate was set up, all the Demon Evils in Great Qin had nowhere to hide. Any Demon Evil with a sane mind would not choose this ti to enter Great Qin and seek death. So, apart from sporadic Strange Monsters, there was no longer any sighting of Demon Evil-tier creatures. Without Demon Evils, there was no possibility of capturing them.
After leaving the Capital City, Shen Changqing hurried non-stop, directly to the Demon-Subduing Divisions of other jurisdictions. A considerable amount of ti had passed, and the Demon-Subduing Prisons in various locations had long been completed. As he guessed, the prisons of those Demon-Subduing Divisions were believed to be holding quite a number of Demon Evils and Mountain Spirits.
「Five days later.」
Shen Changqing returned to the Capital City. With the Divine Skill Dusk Cangwu, traveling across the nine provinces of Great Qin barely took much ti. Just as he expected, with the Demon-Subduing Prisons completed, each branch of the Demon-Subduing Division had, more or less, detained so Demon Evils. However, these Demon Evils were not very strong, and their numbers were not large.
Compared to the various Demon-Subduing Divisions, it was actually the Yuanyang Auction House that contributed the majority of Demon Evils. This force was now not only involved with Great Qin; Great Liang and Dayue also had its branches. Great Qin currently lacked Demon Evils. However, in Great Liang and Dayue, Demon Evil calamities were still severe. Even after obtaining the Star Plate from Great Qin, cleaning up the Demon Evils in various places was not easy. Therefore, most of the Demon Evils from the Yuanyang Auction House were purchased from Great Liang and Dayue. In a year, the number of collected Demon Evils was not small.
「Inside the Thunder Pit.」
Shen Changqing concentrated his mind and looked at his own panel. On it, the Slaughter Value had risen sharply from the original over 14,000 to a whopping over 28,000. Additionally, the Divine Ability Value had gone from over 100 to over 500.
It was worth ntioning that, due to the scarcity of Demon Evils, mbers of the Demon-Subduing Division, in their efforts to earn mission rewards, had turned their attention to Mountain Spirits. It was for this reason that all the branches of the Demon-Subduing Division had detained a number of Mountain Spirits. Accumulating bit by bit, the number of Mountain Spirits also reached several hundred.
Up to now, Shen Changqing was not clear on exactly how many Mountain Spirits were hidden in all of Great Qin. But he had a premonition that the number of Mountain Spirits in various parts of Great Qin was probably also limited. After all, becoming a Mountain Spirit also required certain prerequisites; not every wild beast had the chance to develop Spirit Intellect. Thus, while the world had many wild beasts, those that reached this step were very few. In total, between one and two thousand Mountain Spirits had died at his hands. Shen Changqing felt that even if he searched out all the Mountain Spirits from every corner of Great Qin, it might still be difficult to achieve Perfection for a single Divine Skill. However, he wasn't too worried.
Next was the routine process of bleeding and nurturing the Holy Slaying Saber. Last ti, he hadn't used the panel to break through and thus couldn't completely replenish his own consumption. Therefore, Shen Changqing hadn't bled first to nurture the Divine Weapon. But this ti was different. When breaking through with the help of the panel, it was possible to recover so of his own consumption to a certain extent. Before the breakthrough, he needed to nurture the Divine Weapon first. Otherwise, it would be a complete waste.
Drawing fresh blood, the Holy Slaying Saber trembled slightly. On the pale gold blade, a faint trace of blood erged, then the blood visibly coagulated, forming an incomplete Dao Seal.
