Chapter 123: Massive Origin Point Harvest!
The secret realm was not large, just a vast mountain forest.
However, there were quite a few demons within the mountain forest.
Ji Qing did not possess spiritual sense, but he had the Demon Record.
As long as the Demon Record vibrated, there were definitely demons nearby!
For example, Ji Qing had encountered a demon right now.
This demon’s body was like a giant elephant, yet it crawled like a lizard. Its body was densely covered with sharp bone spurs, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth. Anyone who saw it would feel a sense of ferocity and terror.
But Ji Qing did not feel fear.
He even felt this demon was “dear and lovable.”
Ji Qing approached the demon step by step.
His eyes were filled with eagerness.
It was as if he had seen some rare treasure.
Such a bizarre “human” made the demon fearfully retreat a few steps, its face showing a humanized expression of “fear.”
“Don’t be afraid, come, let me see how many origin points you can provide…”
Ji Qing tried to calm his excited heart.
“Clang.”
As soon as the words fell, a blade light flashed and disappeared, and the demon’s enormous body crashed to the ground.
A smile appeared on Ji Qing’s face.
One demon down!
Then he continued his search.
Relying on the Demon Record, Ji Qing could accurately hunt demons.
Two, three, four, five, six…
Ji Qing felt incredibly exhilarated.
With the augmentation of the Demon Saber and saber momentum, Ji Qing found killing demons as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
After all, most of these demons were not very strong.
In this Dharma-Ending Age, how strong could demons be?
The more powerful the demon, the more spiritual energy it consumed.
Even though the heaven and earth spiritual energy had slightly reappeared, it was impossible to “nurture” powerful demons.
This was why the demons Ji Qing encountered were not strong and could be killed by him.
Even the Blood Demons, which had been sealed by the Chen Family and were once very powerful, were eventually sealed by Chen Luo.
Ji Qing felt incredibly exhilarated now.
Every demon was an origin point.
The origin points obtained generally fluctuated between ten and fifteen points.
There were basically none at twenty points.
But for Ji Qing, it was enough.
Ji Qing continued until he had killed the tenth demon in the mountain forest.
He had only been in the secret realm for two days.
There was still one day left!
He had to seize the time to continue killing demons.
Such opportunities were rare.
Ji Qing now felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, already too happy to think of leaving.
“Buzz.”
Suddenly, an invisible force descended upon Ji Qing.
“This is…”
Before Ji Qing could react, his figure disappeared.
“Swish.”
When Ji Qing reappeared, he looked up and found that he was already outside the secret realm.
Chen Lin was not far away.
“Third Brother, why did you come out? Didn’t you say you were going to stay for the full three days?”
Chen Lin asked curiously.
Ji Qing frowned: “I don’t know what happened, I was suddenly teleported out…”
He had originally intended to stay for the full three days.
Instead, he was teleported out after only two days.
“Young friend, if we let you stay in the secret realm any longer, you would have killed all the demons within it… The demons in the secret realm are different from those outside. In a sense, they are collectively raised by our many Demon Slayer Families. If you kill them all, what will our Demon Slayer Families do in the future? So many demon slayers, and they won’t even be able to find a single demon to practice on…”
At this moment, an old man appeared.
The aura he exuded suggested he had a Fourth Order or Fifth Order bloodline.
He was comparable to a first-rate expert, but definitely not a Grandmaster.
According to the internal classification of demon slayers, only bloodlines of Sixth Order or higher could become beings comparable to Grandmasters.
“So, it was you who teleported me out?”
Ji Qing asked.
“It wasn’t me alone. It was all of us Demon Slayer Families who teleported you out. Please forgive us, young friend.”
The old man’s tone was still very polite.
Because in a sense, it was the Demon Slayer Families who broke the rules.
They had teleported Ji Qing out before three days were up.
Ji Qing took a deep breath and could only calm his emotions.
The demons in the secret realm were indeed raised by the Demon Slayer Families.
If he continued to kill them like this, he might indeed kill all the demons in the secret realm.
Even if he didn’t kill them all, they would suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, teleporting him out was understandable.
However, Ji Qing still obtained a large amount of origin points this time, a huge gain.
“Origin Points: 120 points.”
Ji Qing glanced at the number of origin points.
A staggering 120 points.
This was a massive number.
In fact, Ji Qing had killed a total of eleven demons.
Most of them only gave ten origin points.
Occasionally, some demons might yield more than 10 points.
With so many origin points, this was a significant harvest for Ji Qing.
He still had eleven acupoints that had not been cultivated.
The origin points from this time were enough for him to cultivate all eleven acupoints to perfection.
At that point, he would be a peak first-rate expert!
In a sense, Ji Qing could already start considering a promotion to Innate.
Spiritual objects would be essential for that!
Unfortunately, currently, Ji Qing only knew of a spiritual object in the Goddess’s Water Mansion within the Yunmeng River.
And it would only mature in twenty years.
It could not be used now.
“Does sir know where any spiritual objects can be found?”
Ji Qing suddenly asked.
The old man was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, “Mister Ji is a martial artist, and to promote to Innate, spiritual objects are needed. But this is the Dharma-Ending Age, and Heaven and Earth are spiritually depleted. The limited spiritual objects have also been consumed.”
“Perhaps some spiritual objects can still be found in the deep sea.”
“Deep sea?”
Ji Qing pondered.
The sea was boundless and vast.
If there were spiritual objects in the deep sea, Ji Qing naturally believed it.
However, finding spiritual objects in the deep sea would be extremely difficult.
In the past, the Patriarchs of the Tianshan Sect had also searched for spiritual objects in the deep sea, but found nothing.
“Are there any spiritual objects within the Demon Slayer Families?”
Ji Qing asked again.
“This… perhaps only each family knows for sure. Since Mister Ji has a connection with the Chen Family, why not ask the Chen Family Patriarch?”
Ji Qing followed the old man’s gaze and saw the Chen Family Patriarch.
“I’ll trouble you.”
Ji Qing immediately walked towards the Chen Family Patriarch.
“Mister Ji, we haven’t thanked you yet for helping Chen Lin obtain the Ancestral Inheritance and even reach Fourth Order bloodline. This is a fortune for our Chen Family!”
Upon seeing Ji Qing, the Chen Family Patriarch quickly stood up, his attitude becoming enthusiastic.
He had also learned about what happened in the secret realm.
Ji Qing was actually able to forcibly help Chen Lin pass the Ninth Divine Hall, which was incredible.
The Chen Family Patriarch knew that perhaps for the next few hundred years, the third trial within the Ninth Divine Hall would have to be guarded by “Ji Qing.”
It would undoubtedly bring despair to many demon slayers.
“Patriarch, I only want to know, does the Chen Family have any spiritual objects?”
As soon as he spoke, the Chen Family Patriarch, who had just been smiling, froze.
“Spiritual objects… we did! But unfortunately, they were borrowed.”
The Chen Family Patriarch looked at Ji Qing and sighed.
