First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 293: Presenting Armor

"The remains of this corpse and its belongings must be returned to the Wusheng Sect."

Shen Mo looked at the cultivators present and asked, "I wonder which Fellow Daoist would be willing to make a trip to Yuzhou?"

The Wusheng Sect is located within the boundaries of Yuzhou, adjacent to the Qixing Altar.

Somehow, this demon managed to escape to Qingzhou!

The cultivator from the Doujin Sect who had mocked Xu Tong earlier spoke to Shen Mo, "Master Shen, I have a connection with an elder from the Wusheng Sect. I'll take care of this matter!"

Shen Mo nodded and allowed him to collect the remains and belongings before flying towards Yuzhou.

"Sister Chen, there's something I need to discuss with you before you leave."

Xu Tong and the others returned to Hongye City on their flying devices, leaving Shen Mo and Chen Mengze behind.

Seeing that everyone had left, Shen Mo took out the Red Carp Armor from his Qiankun Bag and handed it to Chen Mengze.

"Sister Chen, it seems like you're not wearing any armor."

"I have refined this Red Carp Armor again, and its quality is extraordinary."

"If you don't mind, why not put it on? It can protect you from many attacks."

Chen Mengze took a look at the armor and her expression immediately became strange.

She had seen this armor before. Shen Mo had taken it when they divided the spoils at the Ghost Country Ruins.

However, compared to its previous appearance, it had undergone a great change.

The armor pieces were like red carp scales and looked quite beautiful.

But its shape had changed from ordinary armor to one specifically designed for female cultivators.

What made Chen Mengze even more embarrassed was that its size and shape fit her perfectly.

She didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed in her heart, and didn't know how to react on her face, so she could only give Shen Mo a fierce look.

Shen Mo felt a bit puzzled, but seeing Chen Mengze accept the Red Carp Armor, he didn't think too much about it.

"Yesterday, the junior from the Linjiang Sect brought the dividends from the Blood Silver Mine to the Zhenshou Division."

"Combined with the additional contributions from various forces under our jurisdiction, the quantity of high-grade spirit stones in the treasury has exceeded two thousand."

"I'm not very at ease with such a large sum of money in the treasury. I have taken more than fourteen hundred high-grade spirit stones and plan to make a trip to the headquarters of the Zhenshou Division in Zhongzhou."

The income from the branch needs to contribute seventy percent to the headquarters of the Zhenshou Division.

In addition, Shen Mo and others' achievements in demon-slaying also need to be inspected by the headquarters.

With such a generous contribution from various forces, Shen Mo's credit will not be insignificant.

He urgently needs to exchange for a batch of Thunder Devil Pearls to upgrade the remaining few Dao swords to high-grade.

Chen Mengze had no objections to this matter.

Neither she nor Shen Mo dared to have any thoughts about this large sum of resources.

Receiving a little more reward is nothing.

But if they dare to embezzle these resources, it won't be long before the law enforcement cultivators of the sect come knocking on their doors.

"Uncle Chen should still be in Tianshan City. Do you need me to bring him anything?" Shen Mo continued after a pause.

"Yes."

Chen Mengze nodded slightly.

Then, she took out ten high-grade spirit stones from her Qiankun Bag.

Although she came to Hongye City to help Shen Mo and not for cultivation resources, during these days, when Shen Mo distributed rewards, he allocated quite a few spirit stones from the treasury to her, and she gained a lot.

In one month at the Zhenshou Division, it was equivalent to the annual income she usually worked hard for!

"You can give these spirit stones to my father. Let him buy more Demon Subduing Pills and Tai Xu Powder to keep."

"Also, tell him not to be stingy and buy the necessary elixirs for cultivation."

"It's good to have a little more strength in the face of the demonic calamity."

With Chen An's cultivation aptitude, without a great opportunity, it would be hopeless for him to reach the Spirit Sea Realm.

In peaceful times, it would be good to save resources and later take a few concubines to give birth to more siblings for Chen Mengze, and establish a new Chen family.

However, at present, the demonic calamity is escalating.

Even in the central region like Hongye City, mutated demons keep appearing.

Leaving the Linjiang Sect and establishing a cultivation family is not a good choice!

Perhaps, just after marrying a concubine and having children... they could be harmed by the demons.

"Okay, I will pass it on to Uncle Chen."

Shen Mo accepted the spirit stones, then waved his sleeve and summoned the Thunderbolt Sword, flying towards the gate of the Linjiang Sect.

Flying directly to Zhongzhou would be too slow.

The journey is not peaceful either, so it would be more convenient and safe to use teleportation arrays.

There are teleportation arrays in the imperial city as well, so Shen Mo can directly teleport from the Linjiang Sect to the capital city.

...

The journey went smoothly.

At the headquarters of the Garrison Bureau, there is one Elder at the Linghai Realm from each of the five major sects, naturally just in name.

The Elder from the Linjiang Sect at the Garrison Bureau is a middle-aged female cultivator named Yao Caifeng, who warmly received Shen Mo.

In their conversation, Shen Mo learned that Yao Ting, from the Xingchen Peak, is actually related to Elder Yao by blood.

Yao Ting's great-grandfather is the brother of Elder Yao's father.

In other words, Elder Yao is Yao Ting's great-grandmother.

After her Dao companion passed away unexpectedly in her early years, Elder Yao did not remarry and had no descendants of her own, so she took care of other members of the Yao family.

In this way, the Yao family that Yao Ting's senior sister comes from can also be considered a half-immortal clan!

After inspecting all the achievements in demon-slaying, Shen Mo exchanged them all for Thunderstrike Beads.

To his surprise, the treasury of the Garrison Bureau also allowed him to exchange for Red Sky Radiant Gold.

Then, he exchanged for a fist-sized piece.

Together with the Lingjin he had left from refining the Demon-slaying Sword, it was enough to upgrade the Kaiyang Dao Sword to a superior grade.

After leaving the Garrison Bureau in the imperial city, Shen Mo did not immediately teleport back to the Linjiang Sect. Instead, he waited for a day and then teleported to Tianshan City.

"Unobstructed Eye of the Dharma, activate!"

Just as he came out of the teleportation array in the Immortal Square, Shen Mo activated his magical tool and looked towards the Tianshan battlefield.

Compared to when he left, the range covered by demonic energy has expanded.

However, the quality and quantity of the native demons have plummeted.

"Even if it's the late stage of the Second Order or the peak of the Second Order, the number of demons is pitifully small."

"As soon as they come out from underground, they immediately hide and keep moving in all directions."

"It seems that the Lower Realm Demon Realm has changed its strategy. Before starting another demonic tide, they intend to gather more information about the cultivation world."

Once a native demon infects a cultivator, they gain all the knowledge of that cultivator.

In terms of obtaining information, they have a natural advantage.

As for cultivators, if they want useful information, they can only capture a mutated demon that has been infected for more than twenty years.

Only this kind of demon can be used with soul-searching techniques to obtain certain memories from its demonic soul.

After waiting for a long time inside the city, Chen An finally arrived.

He looked dusty, obviously just returning from the Tianshan battlefield with disciples in the Body Tempering Realm.

"Momo, why did you come to Tianshan City to see me? Is everything okay with Mengze in Hongye City?"

Chen An was very happy and brought Shen Mo to his residence.

When relatives meet, they naturally can't do without fine spirits.

After drinking a cup of cleansing wine, Shen Mo took out spirit stones, spirit pills, and other items from his storage bag and pushed them in front of Chen An.

"Uncle Chen, these are what Mengze asked me to bring to you."
