Thousand Blade Mountain, Third-level Demon Spirit Realm.
Around Ancient Pine Tower City, there aren’t many third-level Demon Spirit Realms, and mainly Twin Tree Realm predominates.
There are only two special Demon Spirit Realms; one is Thousand Blade Mountain, the other is Ten Thousand Plants Garden.
Du Yu has already visited Ten Thousand Plants Garden. Although there are many things there for Du Yu to learn, he has conquered Ten Thousand Plants Garden.
After all, Du Yu can obtain the Library Ring from the Ten Thousand Plants Garden.
However, between Bai Lu and Yiren, and the ring, Du Yu chose to help the Dust Spirit Deer couple.
If he can get the Thousand Blade Mountain Ring, he will have conquered the special realms around Ancient Pine Tower City!
Hmm... That’s exciting to think about~
After specifying the goal, Du Yu made arrangents with his elder brother and third sister to set out tomorrow. Then, after bidding farewell to Aunt Su, he set off back to Xishu Garden.
Worth ntioning, he also conveniently took 2 cans of maple syrup.
Aunt Su insisted on giving them to him, Du Yu couldn’t decline, right?
Co to think of it, Du Yu returned ho because the Firethorn Tree and Golden Leaf are guarding it.
When leaving, he had agreed with the Firethorn Tree to stay out longer, but it turned out to be half a month without returning...
"Ah..." Du Yu stands in front of his ho, raises his hand to knock on the door, mutters, "Prince Du really is a jerk."
"Nai?" Xiaobai stands beside Du Yu, curiously watching his owner.
"Click."
Just as the door was opened by a branch, Du Yu shouted loudly: "Wait! I have sothing to say!"
Firethorn Tree: "..."
Du Yu delivered the two cans of maple syrup: "Take these first, put them in the kitchen cabinet, be careful not to drop them."
The two branches obediently took the maple syrup away, yet what greeted Du Yu next was dozens of branches.
"Brother Tree, listen to my explanation..."
"Hiss... You’re poking again?"
"I’m leaving again tomorrow! Heading to Thousand Blade Mountain!"
"Oooh~ I’m sorry, I’m sorry, how about I give you Little Tai Sui, you can play with him, okay?"
Prince Du handed over the Great Xia National Treasure, finally securing a peaceful evening.
Firethorn Tree was overjoyed with Little Tai Sui’s advancent, its love for Du Yu abruptly shifted, indulging in its "new toy"...
Du Yu was tidying his ssy clothes, a Firethorn branch waved, pointing towards the study.
"You want to go over?" Du Yu was full of curiosity.
The Firethorn Tree branch imdiately nodded up and down.
Du Yu stepped into the study and saw a brand-new file bag on the desk.
It should be from Master Qing, right?
"Let see." Du Yu opened the manila envelope, inside were the appointnt letter from the Twenty-Ninth Bureau, a pile of job materials, and a bank card.
Is this a salary card?
Du Yu sat in the chair, took out his phone, opened the Demon Spirit Atlas, authenticated the card owner, and linked the new card with the Demon Taming Identity Card.
Card balance: 6234.2.
"Yo!" Du Yu’s eyes lit up, checking the transaction details, he found it’s April’s salary, issued at the beginning of May.
First month at work, over six thousand yuan, not sure if it’s high or low?
According to the data, he has a 6-month probation period and should earn more later.
However, Du Yu was puzzled, the bookstore is too by-the-book, with his level of contribution, why is there a probation period, not direct confirmation?
Given the Twenty-Ninth Bureau’s level of danger and the work projects for Great Xia’s contribution, over six thousand is certainly low.
But in terms of working hours...
Last month, he seed to have only worked 3 or 4 days?
It’s already the 9th now, and since May, Du Yu hasn’t worked a single day.
Is this what earning money lying down is?
"Master Qing is really nice." Du Yu muttered softly, putting the bank card into the wallet’s work ID holder.
At least she didn’t take away my salary card!
Or... she simply doesn’t care for these small amounts?
Du Yu was lost in thought, putting the file bag in the desk drawer.
A year ago, the impoverished Du Yu, if given a fixed royal inco, would probably laugh himself awake from dreaming.
As for now, Du Yu was much more open-minded.
After all, training Demon Pets to maturity, exploiting the Great Xia Bookstore’s resources, that’s the real way to wealth!
Thinking of this, Du Yu called out: "Xiaobai! Xiaobai?"
"Nai~" Bai Yujing was preparing to take a nap on the terrace, upon hearing the call, she imdiately ran over.
"Here, eat Demon Soul!" Du Yu walked over to the bookshelf, retrieved a glass jar containing Demon Lamp Po.
"Nai~" Xiaobai rewardingly leaned her Deer Head forward, extending her delicate little tongue to lick Du Yu’s face.
"You must work hard to refine the Demon Soul, Bai Lu and Yiren are at the Spirit Level, we can’t fall behind." Du Yu placed the glass jar in front of Bai Yujing’s face, slightly opening the wooden stopper.
A wisp of Demon Lamp Po followed the Immortal Deer’s nose and was inhaled into her body.
Subsequently, Bai Yujing squinted her eyes, appearing to enjoy it imnsely.
Du Yu’s heart stirred, whispered to her ear, "Xiaoyan said, she’s about to reach the Peak Stage, almost catching up with you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yujing instantly opened her eyes.
"Nai~" With a coquettish Deer call, her head thrust forward, directly knocking Du Yu to the ground.
"Eh?"
"Nai!"
"Haha!" Du Yu blocked Xiaobai’s antlers with one hand, dodging her head’s advances.
Using Yan Ruyu to stimulate Bai Yujing.
Using Fire LuLu to stimulate Tai Sui God.
Clearly, Du Yu had figured out a new training thod: stoking the fire~
Only the Ghost Firefly within his body remained carefree day after day, without a hint of crisis, always hitching a ride with Du Yu and breaking through together.
As for the other companions in the team, no matter who advanced, Little You Ying would be particularly happy. Just recently, she even set off fireworks for Little Tai Sui...
Well, that’s good.
To keep Little You Ying’s innocence and purity intact is undoubtedly a silent praise for Du Yu.
...
The next morning, the sky was overcast.
After hastily finishing breakfast, Du Yu put on the Black Rock Tree combat coat, took the Demon Soldier Orange Juice and Patterned Silver Blade, fully ard, and headed downstairs with Bai Yujing.
The Demon Spirit Realm known as Thousand Blade Mountain is located 20 kiloters northwest of the Ancient Pine Tower.
At eight in the morning, he drove to the designated location and found Lin Shiwei’s black off-roader in the parking lot in front of the Demon Spirit Realm.
Bohai B·W0312.
Looking at the familiar license plate, Du Yu suddenly had a sense of realization.
The characters at the front of the license plate are quite straightforward, just the abbreviation of Shaohai Province plus the ranking of Ancient Pine Tower within the province.
The key is the letter W at the end, could that be "Wei"?
And thinking of his own license plate number, it dawned on Du Yu!
Bohai B·Q7777, the Q clearly stands for "Qing"!
No need to explain the number 7, Master Qing loves this number, from the floor of her residence to her office room number, and even her phone number with five 7s, she has a particular fondness for it.
Good grief~
In na only, it’s my car, but I’m just the driver.
The license plate already indicates that this is Master Qing’s exclusive ride!
"Nai?" ca Bai Yujing’s curious voice from the back compartnt, wondering why her master was sitting idly.
"Ah." Du Yu snapped back to reality, turned around, and looked back, "Xiaobai, wait in the car for a bit. I’ll go to the bookstore to find ngnan and the others and co back to pick you up."
"Nai~"
Receiving his pet’s response, Du Yu opened the car door, turned toward the Demon Spirit Realm.
Compared to the Twin Tree Realm, the mountain peaks here rose steeply one after the other. From the outside, it indeed had so resemblance to "Thousand Blades."
Under the overcast sky, such breathtakingly crafted mountain views gave Du Yu a slight sense of oppression.
They certainly didn’t seem easy to ss with!
Du Yu thought silently as he lowered his cap and strode toward the bookstore.
"Ding ding~"
Du Yu pushed open the bookstore’s door and imdiately saw, in the distant lounge area, two girls feeding small snacks to their Demon Pets.
"Hello." A young woman at the bar stood up, her heart racing with excitent.
Du Yu wondered if it was his imagination, but the clerk’s voice seed slightly trembling?
"I’m looking for soone." Du Yu smiled and nodded as he walked inside.
Just then, the Wind Witch saw Du Yu coming and, swallowing a bite of cake with puffy cheeks, flew over in a flash.
The little creature’s puffed cheeks tempted Du Yu to pinch them.
But Du Yu resisted.
If he pinched her cheeks, the cake might spurt out from the knitted little mouth...
Du Yu hugged the Wind Witch and said, "Off we go, to climb the mountain."
"Waiting for you to choose a peak." Lin Shiwei placed the Rose Three Spirits on her shoulder, grabbed two glasses of orange juice, walked over, and handed one to Du Yu.
"Clink!"
Du Yu had just inserted the straw when the Wind Witch’s knitted little mouth moved up and gulped a big sip.
"Drink slower, your cheeks are all wet!" Du Yu hurriedly said, dragging the greedy little creature backwards by her skirt.
The beings of the Celestial Treasure Race are very peculiar; nothing ever cos back out.
Hmm... maybe there’s another way energy is conserved.
The key is that the Wind Witch’s whole body is like fabric. Eating is fine, but drinking juice will soak the fabric little head.
"It’s okay, digestion is fast." Li ngnan smiled as she pointed above the bookstore door, "Choose a mountain peak."
Du Yu turned to look at the isolated board where the store’s task was clearly written:
"Within Thousand Blade Mountain, there are five treacherous peaks, each occupied by powerful Demon Beasts or Demon Beast tribes.
Mission objective:
First stage: Ascend to the top of any peak without the aid of Demon Pets.
Second stage: Persist for 24 hours in the designated area at the peak.
Note: In the second stage, you can use Demon Pets that climbed the peak with the Demon Tar. Summoning new Demon Pets will be considered voluntary abandonnt of the task.
Task level: Xuan Platinum. Reward: Demon Spirit Bookstore - Ancient Pine Tower Thousand Blade Mountain Library Ring.
Task details: The East Peak is guarded by the Blade Rock Monkey Tribe. The West Peak is guarded by...
Du Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, already aware of the fa of the Demon Spirit Realm - Thousand Blade Mountain before coming.
Compared to other Demon Spirit Realms, this place seems more like a pure cultivation area.
You can see it from the store task.
The store task won’t be erased just because soone completes it; it will remain here.
The Thousand Blade Mountain Bookstore doesn’t require you to obtain any resources to trade for a ring; rather, it purely tests the strength of Demon Tars and their Demon Pets.
Du Yu observed quietly for a while: "Which one do you want to climb?"
"The North Peak." Li ngnan suggested, "How about the North Peak?"
Behind the bar, the young clerk watching the trio studying the store task wasn’t feeling that they were being unrealistic.
Already excited upon seeing Lin Shiwei and Li ngnan, she knew these two were famous Divine Level students in Shaohai Province!
And when Du Yu walked in, the young clerk had already prepared paper and pen for an autograph.
First in Ancient Pine Tower... no, first in Shaohai Province, Paper Crane Disciple!
Wow~
The bookstore ring hasn’t been awarded for over three years; today, there’s likely to be a new holder!
