Speed ​​Pass starts with choosing a hunter

Chapter 237 Become famous
[You are in your first year of practicing the art of soul-stealing, and you have gained some understanding of the art.]

[You have been practicing the art of soul-stealing for thirty years, and you have mastered it. ]

[You have been practicing the Soul Stealing Technique for the 140th year. Your Soul Stealing Technique has finally reached the highest level.]

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Monster Hunter, Sword Ghost, Boxer, Soul Cooker, Skin Painter]

[Skills: Blood-sweeping Tiger Knife (entry level), Toad Poison (master), Ten Thousand Poison Hands (master), Soul Taking (master), Soul Stealing (master)]

[Strength Points: 0]

Bai Yuan upgraded the Soul Stealing Technique to Mastery in one go.

Soul-collecting is only a means for soul cooks to get started. Even if Bai Yuan has reached the master level, the scope of soul-collecting is just wider.

But the soul-stealing technique is different.

The word "snatch" in the art of stealing souls is its true meaning. Once you learn this art, you can forcibly absorb the soul from a living object, which is extremely domineering.

Of course, now Bai Yuan has very few targets whose souls he can seize, at most they are monsters at the Yi Jin level, and this is because his strength is strong enough.

The potential of the soul-stealing technique is huge. If it is practiced to a high level, it can kill people from a distance, which is no worse than advanced martial arts techniques.

In fact, these are all wonderful uses of strength.

Therefore, the threshold for becoming a spirit cook is extremely high, and one must be a martial artist to become one. Perhaps this is also the reason why the art of spirit cooking has been lost.

As he practiced more and more techniques, Bai Yuan gradually discovered that all methods lead to the same destination. Any technique could become a deadly weapon as long as it was practiced hard enough.

After acquiring the Soul-stealing Technique, Bai Yuan’s ways of obtaining spirits became much wider.

Those monsters became the quickest way to obtain spirits.

First take the soul, then kill it to get the strengthening points. It’s really not a waste at all.

People in Lingzhou often say that monsters are full of treasures, and it really makes sense!

More importantly, with the Soul Stealing Technique and the integration of it with the Soul Taking Technique, it is finally possible to break through the legend.

During this trip to Qingzhou, Bai Yuan can be said to have made a lot of money.

Lingzhou, the provincial government.

Du Qinghui, the governor of Shuofang, looked at the secret letter sent from Qingzhou with a slight smile on his face.

That little guy named Bai Yuan is becoming more and more interesting.

He handed the letter to Dong Wanjun who was standing beside him.

Du Qinghui: "Master Dong, your disciple is really good. The King of Qingzhou praises him a lot in his heart."

He had had some dealings with the King of Qingzhou and knew very well that the king was a very picky person and ordinary young talents would not be in his eyes.

The fact that Bai Yuan received praise from the King of Qingzhou is of great significance.

A hint of surprise flashed across Dong Wanjun's eyes.

Of course he knew that Bai Yuan had gone to Qingzhou and helped one of the Qingzhou king's sons to quell a rebellion. He never expected that the Qingzhou king would write a letter of thanks in person.

Jiang Changping on the side also looked surprised.

He had dealt with Bai Yuan many times before, and the young man was increasingly beyond his expectations.

Du Qinghui clapped his hands and laughed.

Qingzhou has always been a thorn in his side, but now that his worries have been alleviated thanks to Bai Yuan, he is naturally happy.

Although the King of Qingzhou had the interests of the country in mind and therefore handed Qingzhou over to him, the King of Qingzhou was a royal family after all. Even though he was already a second-rank official, there was a difference between relatives and strangers, and Emperor Xuanyang would always favor his own relatives, so he had always maintained a delicate relationship with Qingzhou.

Du Qinghui: "Master Dong, please ask your disciple to come to Lingzhou. I want to meet him."

He wanted to see who this young man who was praised by the King of Qingzhou was.

Dong Wanjun cupped his hands and said, "I obey your orders."

Huanglong Mansion.

"What great things did you do in Qingzhou?"

Yang Fangyu was extremely well-informed and found Bai Yuan almost at the same time as the Lingzhou officials arrived at Huanglong Mansion.

He and Li Huan have been friends for many years, so he certainly knows the temper of the King of Qingzhou.

It's not easy to be noticed by that big shot.

Bai Yuan was helpless: "I just broke into the demon village."

Of course, he also defeated the owner of Lingzhou Soul Chasing Tower.
I think the reason why King Qingzhou wrote a special letter to Du Qinghui is closely related to Li Huan.

However, since Du Qinghui wants to see him, it is still necessary for him to go. After all, he is his boss's boss and he cannot offend him.

According to Yang Fangyu, it was good enough that Du Qinghui did not cause trouble for him, and he could not take the initiative to cause trouble for himself.

Under Yang Fangyu's envious gaze, Bai Yuan rode out of the city on horseback.

At noon the next day, Bai Yuan finally arrived in Lingzhou.

Although Bai Yuan is the commander-in-chief of the Demon-Slaying Guards in Lingzhou, this is his first time in Lingzhou.

Lingzhou is three times larger than Huanglongfu and has a population five times larger. Although it is not as large as Qingzhou, it is also an important city in the north.

As soon as he entered the city, Yin Li, deputy commander of the Demon-Slaying Guard, had already heard the news and was waiting at the city gate.

Bai Yuan did not dare to neglect his superior, and Yin Li was the same, so they waited at the city gate early.

"Master Yin."

Bai Yuan bowed to Yin Li.

Yin Li trotted to Bai Yuan's demon horse and personally led the horse for Bai Yuan.

Seeing Yin Li was so diligent, Bai Yuan didn't refuse.

As an official, you must always give your subordinates some opportunities to perform, otherwise Yin Li will become suspicious.

"Master Bai, you have made the brothers of the Demon Slayer Guard feel proud this time."

"Those guys from the police station only dare to lower their heads when entering the state government office. It's really refreshing!"

Yin Li muttered. The Demon Slayer Guard and the Patrol Office belonged to the same prefecture government. Although one was responsible for humans and the other for demons, they were in an absolute competitive relationship.

Previously, because the demon escaped into Lingzhou, the Demon-Slaying Guards suffered a lot, so they could not hold their heads up in front of the police station.

But ever since Bai Yuan became the new general, the Demon-Slaying Guards felt proud and their backs straightened a lot.

"Sir, now that we have arrived at the provincial government, shall we go and kill the demon guards first?"

Yin Li looked respectful.

Bai Yuan dismounted and said, "I'll go see Lord Du first."

"As ordered."

Yin Li bowed and led the demon horse under Bai Yuan's crotch to the stable of the Demon-Slaying Guards.

Bai Yuan walked straight to the lobby of the provincial government.

He waited until the officer at the door informed him before he stepped into the lobby.

There were quite a few people sitting in the lobby at this time, most of whom Bai Yuan had never seen before.

An old man with wrinkles on his face like ravines sat majestically on the armchair at the top of the hall. On his left sat Dong Wanjun and on his right sat Jiang Changping.

"Lingzhou Demon Slayer Guard General Bai Yuan greets Lord Du."

Bai Yuan knelt on one knee and saluted.

Although he was not a soldier, the commander-in-chief of the Demon-Slaying Guard was a real military position, so he performed a military salute.

Du Qinghui laughed happily when he saw Bai Yuan: "Don't be polite to me in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

These people are the leaders of the major forces from other places in Lingzhou.

They all knew that Du Qinghui was not a person who was careless about details. On the contrary, Du Qinghui, who had served as the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, attached great importance to etiquette.

But today, Du Qinghui was so open-minded to a young man for the first time in his life, which shows the status of this young man in Du Qinghui's heart.

"Master Dong, your disciple is really young and promising."

Dong Wanjun: "Master Du, thank you for your praise. I still need to hone my skills."

This time, Du Qinghui rarely mentioned Xu Dingchun.

"No wonder Old Man Xu favors you two, Master and Disciple. This time, I am convinced."

After these words were spoken, the expressions of the people in the hall became even weirder.

As we all know, Du Qinghui and Xu Dingchun are sworn enemies. It would not be surprising if they fought in the court one day. Of course, the one who was beaten would most likely be Du Qinghui.
However, Du Qinghui said today that he was not as good as Xu Dingchun, which was of course surprising.

Taoist Cangsong of the Tianxuan Sect was also in the lobby. Compared with others, his expression was more complicated.

This was the second time he met Bai Yuan.

He didn't expect Bai Yuan to grow so fast that even a powerful person like Du Qinghui is looking upon him with favor.

The disappearance of Xu Hui, a disciple of Tianxuan Sect, has been known by Xu Hui's master, who will come to Lingzhou soon.

But looking at the current situation, even if the real person from the Tianxuan Sect came, he seemed not to dare to touch Bai Yuan at will, otherwise he would definitely anger Du Qinghui.

When Du Qinghui gets angry, the Tianxuan Sect must also respond carefully.

When he thought of this, Taoist Cangsong felt a headache.

Originally, he just came to Lingzhou for a formality, but he didn't expect to get himself into so much trouble.

He had already cursed Xu Hui a thousand times in his heart.

There are so many good places to die, but he had to die in Shenfu Mountain, and without leaving any evidence.

Du Qinghui was in a very good mood and praised Bai Yuan a few more times, which was rare.

Bai Yuan was extremely humble throughout the whole process.

He has won the favor of many elders of various forces. At such a young age, he is not easily affected by fame or disgrace. His character is much better than that of many disciples in their sect.

"Master Du, the Demon Slayer Guards are busy with their work, so I will take my leave now."

Seeing that Du Qinghui had said enough, Bai Yuan spoke at the right time.

Du Qinghui smiled and waved his hand: "Go ahead."

There are not many officials who work so diligently.

Xuan Yang is currently in a difficult time, but many officials are just sitting there doing nothing and hiding in a corner, which is far worse than Bai Yuan.

The more he looked at the young man, the more he liked him.

After Yin Li tied Bai Yuan's demon horse to the stable, he waited outside the lobby.

As soon as he saw Bai Yuan's figure, he immediately went to meet him.

He looked expectant: "Master Bai, does Master Du have any instructions?"

What kind of person is Du Qinghui?
The former head of the Censorate, now a local boss, and former commander of the Lingzhou Demon-Slaying Guards had never spoken a word to the Shuofang Jiedushi.

There's no way, the level difference is too big.

Those who can interact with Du Qinghui are at least at the level of the Lingzhou prefect.

Bai Yuan rolled his eyes inwardly.

He originally thought that Du Qinghui must have something more important to tell him by calling him all the way from Huanglongfu to Lingzhou, but he didn't expect that he was just praising him in front of all the powerful men in Lingzhou.

There is no need to think about it, his name must have been remembered by those people now, and it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile.

But now Bai Yuan is no longer the small hunter who lives on every day. Now that he has become a strong man, he must have the mentality of a strong man.

Simply hiding in the dark is a bad idea.

The benefits of having a good reputation can greatly shorten the time he spends practicing.

But the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and he must also be careful of opponents hiding in the dark.
