Watching the new round of changes, Li Qing's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

"Indeed, my speculation was correct."

"I am now collecting various organ cultivation techniques."

"Each time I integrate a new technique, the overall technique undergoes subtle changes."

"When this technique becomes unchangeable, it will be time for me to cultivate it."

"But it seems that I need to collect more items."

Li Qing's face showed a slight solemnity. This time, the auxiliary items for cultivation had become nine types of Spirit Medicine and nine types of spirit jade.

"Perhaps only in this Demon Slaying Temple can I exchange for enough techniques."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the catalog in the record book.

Last night, he reread it and found that there were over 20 different types of spirit jade.

Basically, one could be obtained for a little merit, which was not considered expensive.

But Spirit Medicine was different. At least ten merits were required for one plant.

In other words, only a first-class task qualified for the exchange of one.

"It will take at least 100 merits in total."

"Spirit Medicine still needs to be obtained from outside."

"In these days, Wang Kuohai has been coming and going early and late, obviously searching for Spirit Medicine."

"On the matter of resources, perhaps I can approach these wealthy individuals and exchange techniques with them."

"They should be very interested in stepping into the Immortal Dao."

"Tsk, Brother Qin, this bottle of pear blossom wine is truly delicious."

"Haha, if Elder Fang likes it, I'll bring you another bottle next time I pass by."

A smile appeared on Elder Fang's face. "Then I'll trouble you."

...

In the afternoon, Li Qing strolled leisurely.

Every afternoon, he liked to take a walk in Jade City, listen to music, watch storytelling, and drink tea.

At the same time, he checked some areas, all of which were information obtained in advance from Huang Lao.

He was looking for anomalies that were safe and could be quickly eliminated.

He had a clear plan for his cultivation.

"Accumulating Essence Qi is not a problem for me. With two more Essence Qi stones, I can directly reach the perfect stage of Essence Refinement."

"What is most important to me now is techniques, to thoroughly perfect the 'All-Encompassing Heaven and Earth Mortal Dao Technique' and refine the Essence Qi of myriad laws."

That would be the most suitable time to break through Body Strengthening.

Suddenly, a large number of soldiers appeared on the main street.

The soldiers rushed towards the north of Jade City.

Leading them was a commander clad in armor, with someone holding a flag behind him.

Li Qing quickly discerned who it was.

Wang Jie, the commander of the Jade City garrison.

Having been in Jade City for some time, and through Huang Lao, he was not unfamiliar with the place.

The major forces in Jade City, the first being the governor of Yucheng, Fang Qingyu.

Although he was from the Fang family of Yucheng, it was a small branch of a prestigious family, belonging to the Confucian tradition.

Under his command was a constable named Fei Yangming, who hailed from the Six Ministries, belonging to the military and civil service tradition.

These two were the top forces in officialdom.

The second was the commander of the garrison, Wang Jie, who belonged to the military tradition and was adept at training military formations. By using the Essence Qi of military formations, he could unleash spells beyond his own realm, making him exceptionally formidable.

The third was the Demon Slaying Temple, with various disciples from different schools and a background that seemed quite diverse, but apparently only a dozen or so people were at its core, with many additional demon-slaying lieutenants.

The fourth was the various shops in Hundred Gates Alley, each representing different traditions, with powerful backers behind them.

The fifth was the weakest, the Independent Cultivators.

In addition to these major forces, there were probably some heretical cultivators lurking, most of whom were at odds with orthodox forces.

Li Qing frowned slightly. "Commander Wang Jie, why did he go to the north?"

"That's the jurisdiction of the Pujiang Port, under the management of Cao Yun."

Originally, there was a supervising official in charge, but since the previous official was wiped out over a month ago, the place had been temporarily managed by the yamen.

"Why did this person suddenly show up?"

Seeing the soldiers, he suddenly had a thought.

"Could it be because of that case? Is there something hidden in the port?"

Having never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

As a modern soul, Li Qing never believed in coincidences in this world.

Everything was inevitable, but the hidden things were unknown to people.

Thinking of this, he did not linger but turned and left.

He didn't want to get involved in such matters, especially since it seemed that the Blood Demon Cult was active in the background.

"I need to be careful from now on. Jade City doesn't seem as peaceful as I imagined."

Just then, a commotion erupted at the main gate to the south.

Li Qing's brow furrowed, and then he witnessed a shocking scene.

Countless Essence Qi rose in the direction of the south gate, looking like countless streams of blood flowing out, causing the Essence Qi to scatter and overflow.

"What's going on?"

Li Qing's face changed constantly, and he turned directly towards the Demon Slaying Temple.

When in doubt, return to the Demon Slaying Temple.

This world was too dangerous, and he didn't want to recklessly get involved in trouble.

Back at the Demon Slaying Temple in just a quarter of an hour, news had already spread.

In the mission hall, many people were discussing in groups of three or four.

At this time, Wen Tianquan also arrived, his face grave.

"Brother Wen, what's happening? Why have so many people come?"
