Chapter 142: Demon Under the Moon, Wild Treasures of Stalactites
Around 10 PM.
After handling related matters, everyone drove towards the city.
Bai Yu was quite pleased with the combat performance of the team members.
Leaning back against the seat, he patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder and said, “Everyone performed well!”
Jiang Chen smiled and then said, “It’s all because you put too much pressure on us!”
“Well, Bin Ge’s combat power is still a bit lacking, he’s at the bottom.”
Zhao Bin pushed up his glasses, silently typing the report for this battle, thinking if he should just delete Bai Yu’s name from it.
Moreover, the silver needles he obtained this time hadn’t been used yet. What if he used them on this kid Bai Yu? To prick some acupoints or something.
However, it was just a thought.
Zhao Bin quickly received a document and said, “The bureau has sent us the detailed archives of Ding Yuanchao, the Rat Demon, and the Cat Demon.”
“Oh? Let’s see.”
Bai Yu quickly glanced at Ding Yuanchao’s archives, which were very detailed.
It even recorded how he started in real estate seven or eight years ago, made money, and gradually became a wealthy businessman.
And his cooperation with the Lizardmen was infrequent, but if one were to count, they had cooperated about 5 years ago!
Of course, before this, they only knew of the existence of such a person, and the official code name was “Sea Merchant,” but they didn’t know who it was.
Now that they had found out who it was, they could match the person with the code name.
There must still be many things that hadn’t been uncovered.
Otherwise, if the officials had grasped everything, they would have arrested them one by one since ten years ago.
Unfortunately, there were too few extraordinary equipment back then.
It was like investigating ordinary cases fifty years ago, the difficulty was too high!
If they had the extraordinary technology of today ten years ago, they might have been able to effectively control the expansion of this group.
After reading the information, Bai Yu also thought of the intelligence regarding Ding Yuanchao.
‘The person is already dead, could it be related to important secrets?’
‘Could it be that he left a contingency, knowing the Shadow Spider Woman’s hiding place?’
‘Let’s go back and check.’
Investigation Bureau.
The first thing Bai Yu did after getting out of the car was to head straight to the cultivation room.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly and quickly followed.
He had touched upon a trace of fist intent a while ago.
Although it was still far from true fist intent, he had at least grasped some of its beginnings and needed to consolidate it.
The others also went to the cultivation room.
Let’s get to it!
In the cultivation room.
It was already past 10:40 PM.
Bai Yu naturally turned his attention to the intelligence on Ding Yuanchao.
Purchase!
【 File Number: XR-2037-12-08
File Name: Contracted by the Moon Demon – Ding Yuanchao
I. Basic Information
Name: Ding Yuanchao
Code Names: Sea Merchant, Moon Demon
Date of Birth: August 5, 1997
Occupation: Real estate developer in Binhai City
II. Past Events
January 2030: Entered the real estate industry and became a well-known developer. During this period, it is suspected that he colluded with alien races, but there is no concrete record.
April 2033: Colluded with the Lizardman Race and completed a potion sales transaction.
April-May 2037: Suspected of leaking information about the Shadow Spider Woman to the Lizardman Race.
III. Extraordinary Connections
Had a clear cooperative relationship with the Lizardman Race five years ago.
Suspected of forming a contract with the Demon Race in 2035, becoming a servant of the Moon Demon.
On August 9, 2037, discovered “dead” in Tianjia New Village, later confirmed to be a feigned death. Investigation revealed that this feigned death was achieved through a special demon servant.
On November 28, 2037, while assisting the Moon Demon in stealing the Moon’s divine power, he was discovered and killed on the spot in Yun Dong District.
During the more than three months of feigned death, he acted under the code name “Moon Demon” and possessed the ability to transform into a demon.
Already belongs to the Demon Race. 】
When Bai Yu read the part about the feigned death, he became serious.
“I thought I would get clues about the Shadow Spider Woman.”
“I didn’t expect this guy to be related to the Demon Race! I really didn’t see that coming.”
The Moon Demon
Stealing the Moon’s divine power!
“It’s the same with Yu Chen’s situation. According to the report, an abnormal blood sample was detected in early September.”
“If this guy’s bloodline activates, he has the ability to transform into a wolf under the moon. Why not capture him and study the moon thoroughly! See what the Moon Ancient God incident is all about.”
“The Sea Monsters too. They also have lunar gravity.”
“The three pieces of intelligence weren’t expensive, but they did reveal some secrets to me. Not bad!”
“It’s just that this guy, who is involved with the Lizardmen and the Demon Race, two major alien races, and the Black Blood Case, is now also entangled with the Moon Ancient God. I’m curious to see what’s going on.”
Saying this, he walked out of the cultivation room and went to the window to look at the moon in the sky.
‘The moon hasn’t mutated either.’
‘Bai Ling, Bai Ling?’
A groggy voice replied, “What is it, Brother Bai Yu?”
“Take a look at the moon and see if there’s anything wrong with it.”
“The moon?”
Bai Ling flew out and then rushed into the sky.
After two minutes, she flew back, saying with a hint of confusion, “Brother Bai Yu, I didn’t find anything unusual.”
“Alright, you can go back to sleep.”
“Hmph~!”
Bai Ling let out an arrogant hmph, and then returned to the Soul Bead.
Bai Yu returned to the cultivation room and continued to look at this intelligence.
“Whatever, this is all stuff from November onwards. I’ll deal with the Black Demon’s problem first!”
Of course, now that he had obtained this guy’s intelligence.
Bai Yu would naturally pay attention to the person codenamed “Moon Demon” later.
It would be best to capture him in advance!
The Demon Race is quite low-key in Tianhai City, with hardly any related cases heard of.
However, the more cunning the opponent, the more attention they must be given.
“Let’s see if there’s anything new tonight.”
After midnight, Bai Yu looked at the intelligence, but found nothing important, so he continued to cultivate.
Early in the morning.
While eating, Li Yunbin mentioned that in two days, they would also be following Professor Feng’s convoy to the Northern Mountain Range.
Bai Yu’s eyes lit up and he said, “That’s great! It saves me from going alone.”
Li Yunbin then said, “Our mission is to deal with the hidden dangers of alien races such as Blood Demons, Savage Tribes, Demons, and Corpse Clans in the villages and county-level cities in the northern mountainous areas.”
“And they also have Black Blood Disease patients in that area.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu became even more excited and said, “Anyway, my cultivation should only take a day. After you make initial contact, I should be able to catch up the next day! A new place, a chance to show off!”
“Okay, deal!”
“By the way, I remember you mentioned before that a Big Boss would be giving a lecture in the middle of the month?”
He clearly remembered that his diary specifically mentioned a three-hour lecture.
He was planning to use this opportunity to advance further!
“It’s at the cultivation site they went to on the 15th. It’s said to be a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert!”
Bai Yu: Yes, I already knew that.
But he had to show support on the surface.
“Good heavens! A Heavenly Yuan Realm Big Boss? I only saw a glimpse of a Heavenly Yuan Realm Big Boss at the auction before. I wonder what the person is like.”
Li Yunbin had seen the Heavenly Yuan Realm experts in their own organization; they were of his grandfather’s generation.
Honestly, for some reason.
During the Spiritual Qi Awakening in 2020, people in their thirties and forties often progressed faster in strength!
On the contrary, few of the young people from that era have grown into Big Bosses.
Unless they have top-tier talent like Bai Yu.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
During these two days, everyone patrolled in the morning and evening, and cultivated in the afternoon; life remained the same.
The monsters in the city had become much more obedient, and everyone’s case handling became easier.
August 12th.
Early morning.
Bai Yu woke up in the cultivation room again.
“Hoo~ This cultivation technique is much harder than I imagined!”
“Meow meow meow~ It feels like going back to the college entrance exams.”
His biggest progress during this period was being able to smoothly complete a Minor Heavenly Cycle.
That is, the process of one light spot turning into two, returning to the Dantian, then turning into four, and returning to the Dantian again.
However, it took him two hours to circulate this complete Minor Heavenly Cycle back then!
Fortunately, during this period, he used the cultivation plan to impact the Spirit Accumulation Acupoint.
Now, relying on the Spiritual Energy stored in the Spirit Accumulation Acupoint to impact the Minor Heavenly Cycle, it had become much faster.
He had managed to reduce the time to within 80 minutes!
If he used the Red Horse Grass Potion for cleansing, he could achieve sixty minutes.
If he continued to impact the unfamiliar meridians, a Minor Heavenly Cycle should be compressed within ten minutes.
But a Great Heavenly Cycle still took two hours!
His Myriad Laws Origin, however, only took twenty minutes for a Great Heavenly Cycle.
This is the advantage and disadvantage of different cultivation techniques!
“I have also consumed the ordinary Thundercloud Fruit. Now, the second Earth Grade acupoint – Heavenly Thunder Acupoint, has also undergone some changes. Its opening degree is not necessarily lower than the Spirit Accumulation Acupoint!”
“With two Earth Grade acupoints, I feel much stronger than before.”
“It’s a pity that the Qi Gathering Realm seems unable to open Heaven Grade acupoints.”
“The Heaven Grade acupoint of the Thundercloud Gold Fruit – Golden Buddha Acupoint, is already the limit for the Qi Gathering Realm. When I go to the Thunder Laboratory this time, I can try to open it!”
As for his cultivation realm, after changing to a new cultivation technique, he could be considered to have opened over a hundred acupoints.
It was still some distance from truly unblocking them.
“Speaking of which, after the Heavenly Thunder Acupoint is unblocked, the Five Thunders Decree, which requires 72 acupoints, and the Thunder Movement, Thunder Shadow Body, and Thunder Talisman Heavenly Soldiers, which require 108 acupoints, can all be attempted to learn.”
“Even learning a move or two would elevate my combat power by a large margin!”
He felt incredibly refreshed.
Bai Yu stood up and stretched.
“Speaking of which, I’m heading to the Thunder Laboratory today. I wonder if there’s any important intelligence.”
During these three days, no important intelligence had appeared.
He originally thought that after the battle with the Cat Demon, he would get information about the Moon Demon and directly expose this member of the Demon Race.
Or, the forces from the Shadow Realm would approach him.
He was already prepared to use the Third Page to kill these guys!
Who knew it would be so calm. Fortunately, he had accumulated quite a bit of intelligence value.
“105 intelligence value, 5 purple fragments, 4 gold fragments, 1 red fragment.”
“I’ve saved quite a lot! Including the unfinished mission today, that’s 145 intelligence value.”
Then he looked at today’s intelligence.
【 Intelligence Value: 105 】
【 Intelligence 1 （ Gray ）
Keywords: Thunderstorm Stone
Required Intelligence Value: 1 】
【 Intelligence 2 （ White ）
Keywords: Spiritual Spring
Required Intelligence Value: 5 】
【 Intelligence 3 （ White ）
Keywords: Shadow Alliance
Required Intelligence Value: 5 】
【 Intelligence 4 （ White ）
Keywords: Matsuki Keiko
Required Intelligence Value: 5 】
Seeing these 4 keywords, Bai Yu was somewhat tempted.
“It seems I need to get out more!”
“I know quite a lot about the secrets of Tianhai City.”
“Now that I’m going to the Northern Mountain Range, it’s a new area.”
Rubbing his hands, the first one needed no explanation; Professor Feng’s latest research was based on this Thunderstorm Stone.
The second one looked like a treasure, but it could also be a secret about market fluctuations, or perhaps research.
He definitely had to redeem it and see!
The third one sounded like a faction.
The fourth one was clearly someone he would meet today.
“I’ll encounter someone from Sakura Island today? And it sounds like a girl.”
“It must be related to the Black Blood Disease.”
After considering, Bai Yu first acquired the first and second pieces of intelligence.

“It seems this is a small problem Professor Feng encountered.”
“It can be resolved with one intelligence point, which is quite good!”
“I still need to get the Spirit Array from this old guy. The diary says this Spirit Array is incredibly effective!”
He continued to look at the second piece of intelligence.
【 Mountain Patrol Report

VI. Appendix

“Yu Rundong! This is someone I know.”
“The Spiritual Spring was discovered stolen on August 16th. It doesn’t say when it was stolen though.”
But he thought carefully, given the nature of this Golden Finger.
Since he had the intelligence, if he went today, he should be able to get it!
Two hundred square meters, at least three to five hundred cubic meters of Spiritual Spring, right? One cubic meter is worth about a hundred thousand.
And there’s Spirit Milk! I heard that applying this to the skin can enhance physique and also increase the toughness of meridians, meaning the Spiritual Energy flowing through the meridians can be even more immense.
“Is this the start of digging for treasure in the wild? Haha!”
He knew a thing or two about how the officials managed such wild treasures.
They definitely couldn’t take away such a vast Spiritual Spring.
But treasures like Spirit Milk could be taken and used freely.
“Since the intelligence was given, it shouldn’t be too late to get it tonight! I’ll see if I should bring people from other groups along.”
“If the alien races took so much Spiritual Spring in one night, there must be quite a few people involved.”
“It would be even better if a fight breaks out!”
Bai Yu glanced at the other two pieces of intelligence.
“Shadow Alliance and Matsuki Keiko, I’ll look into them when I encounter related information.”
He cultivated for a while longer and then headed to the cafeteria right on time.
