Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 155 Taking Office as Captain
"So, there are remnants of demon saints in many mountains of Yunzhou. Maybe there are also remnants of demon saints in mountains without magical powers. If we can obtain them, our strength will be improved very quickly."

Jiang Yue pondered.

He did not forget that when he obtained the eyeball of a demon saint that had decayed for who knows how many years, he could obtain an extremely large amount of time and flesh and blood essence. If it were those demon saints who are still alive, how much time and flesh and blood essence would their bodies have?
Thinking about Jiang Yue made me excited.

After flipping through the ancient books and searching the monkey's nest cave, Jiang Yue made sure that nothing was missed. Then he left the cave and returned to Qing County.

After bringing Xiaotian out of the forest, Jiang Yue had an idea.

"The Peacock King of the Beast God Cult wants to collect the remains of the Demon Saint in Funiushan Mountain in order to break through. This means that even if the remains of the Demon Saint are dead, the Beast God Cult can still use them. They can use evil methods to strengthen themselves. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. As long as I destroy one of them, the whole body will be useless."

Jiang Yue suddenly remembered what he knew about the reasons for the Beast God Cult's war.

The demon that turned into Funiu Mountain obviously died in the seal. All its flesh and blood turned into nutrients, and there was not much left. However, the Peacock King of the Beast God Cult could still use it.

"No matter if they are dead or alive, the Beast God Cult can use them."

Jiang Yue stroked his chin.

In this way, he and the Beast God Cult had clashed with each other. Both wanted the remains of the Demon Saint, regardless of his life or death.

The only difference is that he harvests time and obtains the essence of flesh and blood, while the Beast God Cult uses evil methods to increase its strength or resurrect the living Demon Saint.

Since they bumped into each other, they had to fight for it. Jiang Yue was nothing to be afraid of.

After smiling, Jiang Yue called Xuntian and took Xuntian Xiaotian back to Qing County.

It is just past noon and it is still early. Jiang Yue has to take up his post tomorrow and he also has some things to tell his family.

Tread-tap-

Jiang Yue did not stop and headed straight for the Jiang Mansion.

When he got home, he found that his grandfather and Silang had already eaten. The old one-armed man came to guide Silang in his training again, and was taking Silang to practice killing techniques in the yard.

If someone teaches you how to kill, that means I am truly teaching you everything I know.

Because one is familiar with the killing method and understands the underlying logic of the blood circulation of the killing method, given time, one can create a method specifically targeting that killing method. This is extremely dangerous for a martial artist, so there is a saying among martial artists in the world that "more skills are better than less", which refers to the killing method. No matter what, one must keep a few secrets for himself and not teach them to others.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The long sword wielded by Silang Jianghao flashed with great power, and the last blow chopped the neck of the wooden stake in front of him with extreme ferocity.

However, Shiro was not strong enough and was using a wooden sword, so he failed to chop the wooden stake into pieces.

After making this cut, Silang put away his knife, a little out of breath.

"good."

Jiang Yue praised.

"Second brother, you are back."

Si Lang threw the knife aside, looked at Jiang Yue with a smile, and asked, "Does Second Brother have to leave tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "I got you some good stuff."

As he spoke, Jiang Yue stimulated his blood and qi, activated his Qiankun bag, and took out countless precious medicines from the bag. Upon closer inspection, there were about forty or fifty precious medicines of the level of spiritual peaches and colorful bamboo shoots alone, and even more weaker ones. There were also a few relatively good ones, especially one that turned into an earth-turning dragon.

"This"

The old one-armed man widened his eyes, his face full of surprise, and said in shock: "Erlang, I run a medicine store, but even if it is a big purchase at the end of the year, there are not so many things."

The image of the young man who brought animal skins to sell and the young man who took out precious medicines from his Qiankun bag gradually overlapped, making the one-armed old man feel as if many years had passed.

But in reality, only a few months have passed.

Jiang Yue's growth is really too fast.

"Old-timer."

Jiang Yue cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I found these herbs in the mountains. I'd like to trouble you to mix them into a decoction to help Silang with his practice."

"It's easy to talk about."

The old one-armed man smiled and said, "With so many herbs, there are so many soups that can be made, especially the earth-rolling dragon. It's enough for Silang to become a second-level warrior. I was just worrying about where to find the earth-rolling dragon, but I didn't expect you to find it directly."

Hearing this, Jiang Yue smiled and said nothing.

Xiaotian next to him shouted proudly, his black nose moving constantly, indicating that it was all his credit.

Xuntian had a look of disdain on his face, as if he was unwilling to bother with this stupid dog.

"Erlang, you have searched the entire Funiushan Mountain."

The old one-armed man didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and assured: "But don't worry, I am a doctor by training, and there is no problem with Silang's medicine. I guess when you are promoted again, you will not be able to use up all these precious medicines."

"Thank you, senior."

Jiang Yue bowed.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

The old one-armed man collected all the herbs on the ground with a smile on his face. He was quite envious of the convenience of Jiang Yue's Qiankun bag and was filled with emotion.

Afterwards, the one-armed old man continued to teach Silang martial arts, while Jiang Yue ran to the water tank to take a look.

The conch in the water tank was still lying there quietly, without any change, except that the water in the water tank was covered with a layer of faint blue light.

"Grandpa, has anyone sent food to our house since then?"

Jiang Yue asked.

"what?"

Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was talking about, and said with a smile: "No one brings food to our house every day, and after moving to Qing County, no one from the village comes to our house. But Zhao Qi came once, saying that he was hanging out in the county and wanted to get to know the family."

"Oh?"

It seems that the conch has never come out again. Jiang Yue thought to himself, and then asked: "Brother Zhao Qi came to Qing County?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cong smiled and said, "Zhao Qi went to work as a bodyguard for the Yue family, and he seems to have learned martial arts, but he didn't try to get close to you or anything, and he never said that he and you were from the same village."

"That's it."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly. If there was a chance in the future, he would take care of Brother Zhao Qi.

After saying this, Jiang Yue looked at the conch in the water tank again.

The conch stood still. Jiang Yue thought about it and decided to put the conch into his Qiankun bag and carry it with him. When he arrived at Zhou Yuan Mansion, he would let Xia Qi see what it was and where it came from.

Staying here can produce spiritual water. Although it has benefits, it is of no great use. Now that I have so many precious medicines, I don't need a sip of spiritual water.

After receiving the conch, Jiang Yue and the old one-armed man taught Silang how to practice.

Soon the old one-armed man was surprised to find that Jiang Yue’s insights into martial arts far surpassed his own.

Jiang Yue stayed with his family for the entire afternoon. It was not until after dinner that Jiang Yue left home to visit his senior brother.

Fourth senior brother Shen Xuan had already left, leaving only senior brother Hu Yunlong at the Qimen blacksmith shop.

Jiang Yue and Hu Yunlong drank the wine and had another meal until late at night, then returned to the Jiang Mansion, where they nurtured their spirit soldiers while trying to fall asleep. Not long after, Jiang Yue fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when the cock crowed, Jiang Yue woke up from his sleep.

Today is the day he takes office, but he is not in a hurry. After all, Huichun Prefecture and Zhouyuan Prefecture are close to each other, and it only takes half a day to get to Zhouyuan Prefecture.

"Divine Seal."

Jiang Yue called out in a low voice, and the divine seal panel appeared in Jiang Yue's field of vision.

Jiang Yue looked at his panel attributes and couldn't help feeling helpless.

The hunting god's fate, the water god's fate, and the drama god's fate are all just a little bit away from improvement.

It is this little thing that is so puzzling.

As for the life essence, it has reached the level where it can be strengthened, but Jiang Yue has not yet decided which pet to strengthen. He might as well wait until there is more life essence before strengthening the pet.

As for the power of incense and vows, it has been increased to two hundred and ninety points. It has been growing steadily and continuously in the past few days, but there has been no sudden increase.

"Yuqing County should be peaceful now."

Jiang Yue looked towards the direction of Yuqing County and smiled.

He took out clothes from his Qiankun bag, hesitated for a moment, and still did not wear his official uniform. He only wore a silver patrol armor inside, a black shirt outside, a bearskin cloak, a black wooden hairpin, and a white jade belt around his waist with the Qiankun bag hanging on it.

Although the outfit is simple, Jiang Yue has a unique charm in it, and he looks tall and like a heroic gentleman.

The reason why he doesn't wear official uniform is Jiang Yue's habit.

If he wore his official uniform and walked over with a swagger, he wouldn't be able to understand many situations. He was used to keeping everything under his control in his own hands, which made it easier to get things done.

Just like in the area of ​​nine counties, if we cannot clean up the court, first kill Yuan Qinghai and then kill Kang Yuan, we probably won’t be able to accomplish so many things later, let alone govern the area of ​​nine counties well.

Jiang Yue believed in his own judgment and his own abilities, so he wanted to make Zhou Yuan Mansion a place where he had the final say.

Wear casual clothes and go to Zhou Yuan Mansion to understand the situation first.

After tidying himself up, Jiang Yue walked out of the room and saw Silang standing in the courtyard.

He did not disturb Silang, but walked to the front yard, took the horse, and walked out of the Jiang Mansion with the hawk and dog.

Silang saw his second brother leave the house, but he didn't say anything. He just practiced harder, hoping to catch up with his second brother one day in the future.

Tread-tap-

The white dragon horse was marching on the official road, galloping through the mud of early spring. The white dog Xiaotian was held by Jiang Yue, half squatting on the horse, sticking out his tongue, his face looking a little hideous due to the wind.

Xuntian hovered above Jiang Yue's head and followed Jiang Yue as he galloped forward.

Now Xuntian and Xiaotian are both adults. Although they have not been strengthened, they eat well every day and have become much bigger. Xuntian is now 1.4 meters long, with a terrifying wingspan and claws that are bigger than a human head. If Jiang Yue is willing, he can even let Xuntian hold him and fly into the air.

As for sitting on Xuntian's back, maintaining balance is a science. You will be able to do it when Xuntian becomes bigger.

As for Xiaotian, although he seems silly, he is extremely scary when he calms down, like a man-eating dog. He has extremely developed muscles and his canine teeth can even crush iron.

Tread-tap-

There were sounds of horse hooves. It took Jiang Yue about two hours of travel until the time of Si (9:00 pm) when he finally arrived at Zhou Yuan Prefecture. Walking along the official road beside Huichun River, and looking at the increasingly dense cruise ships and merchant ships on the river, Jiang Yue gradually realized the prosperity of Zhou Yuan Prefecture.

There were endless merchant ships and countless cruise ships on the river. As we went deeper into Zhou Yuan Prefecture, there were more and more cruise ships.

There are only five counties in Zhouyuan Prefecture, but any one of these five counties is as vast as nine counties. Zhouyuan Prefecture, which consists of five counties, is even larger than Huichun Prefecture.

Jiang Yue took the geomancy map and observed it carefully.

The thousand-mile Langdang Mountain divides Zhouyuan Prefecture into two halves. Kudai County is located in the canyon area in the middle of Langdang Mountain. It is divided into two areas, north and south, by the Huichun River that runs through Langdang Mountain.

To the north of Langdang Mountain are Haisai County and Nu County.

To the south of Langdang Mountain are Shenyao County and Mian County.

These five counties each have their own quirks. For example, Jiang Yue has now entered the Shen Yao County and can smell the fragrance of medicine in the air. Xiaotian's dog nose keeps sniffing and can't stop at all.

If you smell it carefully, you will find that the fragrance of this medicine is actually addictive and you can't stop smelling it.

Looking at the cruise ship again, there were handsome family members and a handsome young man, who were singing and dancing while taking some kind of medicine, with a dazed expression, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and spending money like water.

"This thing must be poisonous."

Jiang Yue sniffed it carefully and detected the poison.

This toxin is not harmful to humans, it is just addictive. Fortunately, he is immune to all poisons and will not be addicted to this drug.

As for Bai Jiaoma, Xiaotian and Xuntian, they have extraordinary bloodlines and have made a contract with Jiang Yue, so they are fine.

"It's so strange, I don't even know where this fragrance comes from."

Jiang Yue sighed secretly.

This time, his destination was Kudailing, because his government office was in Kudailing, and Kudailing was also the county town located in the core area among the five counties, and could radiate to the five counties.

Tread-tap-

With the sound of horse hooves, Jiang Yue could already see the shadow of the city wall of Shen Yao County, and they were getting closer and closer to Shen Yao County.

The cruise ships in the distance were becoming more and more numerous, with lights flashing.

A demonic aura emerged from the water. It turned out to be a demon with a fish head and a human body jumped out of the water and directly jumped onto a ship and hid inside it.

Its appearance is rather like the King of Inspiration in Journey to the West that Jiang Yue had read.

"Demon? Let's go and take a look."

Jiang Yue tightened the reins, pulled his horse to a stop, and headed for the ship alone.
