Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 945 - 825: Guest

Sure, here is the translated text:

"How do you feel?" Bai Yunqi and Qu Luming asked in unison.

They watched as the Demon-Subduing Pestle came crashing down with great momentum, inevitably feeling a bit tensed, thinking that if it smashed down on them, it would be quite an ordeal.

The key was that they had never seen this method of physically exorcising a Heart Demon before; both the demon and ghost were very curious. If this worked, wouldn't those big shots troubled by Heart Demons line up asking Mr. Jiang to beat them up?

Heh, just imagining that scene is quite funny!

He Miancun couldn't make a sound for a moment.

If not for having to maintain her image in front of the juniors, she would have crouched down, hugged her head in a corner, and cried, it hurt that much! But the effect was also genuinely good; one hit and it worked, albeit rough and simple, it was cost-effective and fast-acting.

Of course, the primary reason was she was broke—years ago, rekindling romance with Huo Jun, becoming an enviable Immortal couple, enjoying carefree days watching the wind, rain, and clouds, traveling the world hand in hand. Those happy days hid a hefty financial ledger, all funded by He Miancun's savings.

One of the reasons the Heart Demon came back fiercely after he left without a word was her feeling that she had exhausted her years of savings, and Huo Jun left because there was nothing more to gain.

If admitting he only reunited with her for the money and treasures would tarnish that past romance, then why did he disappear when no more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were available for his squandering?

Left with neither money nor love and unable to escape this heart Knot, He Miancun's Heart Demon grew more severe.

But for her, as a High Level Cultivator, earning worldly possessions is not difficult is it? Even if she returns to Fengdu to take up a position, everything needed for cultivation is supplied, and there's even surplus, though it comes at the cost of less freedom.

Huo Jun, being a Great Demon, why would he deceive for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?

"The effect is indeed good." He Miancun took several deep breaths, suppressing the instinctive urge to cry, and with a bitter smile said, "Mr. Jiang was right, it really hurts, it hurts very very much!"

Jiang Yuan held the Demon-Subduing Pestle, thinking naturally! It's a pestle meant for subduing demons, Heart Demons are demons too!

However, the current progress speed isn't very ideal, just one hit leads to -100, the key is not knowing if your value will increase again. If it decreases by one hundred and then increases by two hundred, then hitting more times daily would be necessary.

"Could we do it again?" He asked sincerely, finding it rare to have a test subject, it's at least good for practicing the feel.

The counterpart instantly turned pale upon hearing, hurriedly waving her hand saying, "No, no, no! Mr. Jiang, if you do it again, I really can't take it. Better... take a little break first, I feel probably... half a day should do."

One hit every half-day?

Twelve hours a day, four half-days, meaning diligently getting hit one day is four times, reducing 400, leaving over twenty thousand... he quickly calculated the result—unless the data increases excessively, at most, it would just take two months of beatings!

"Mr. Jiang, I have an unseemly request." He Miancun solemnly bowed, whispering: "Speaking out without fearing laughter from everyone, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures accumulated during my tenure in Fengdu City were nearly depleted during world travels with Huo Jun.

Besides, previously taking in some lost souls and stray spirits was also an expense, resulting in now being short of funds to bear the cost of exorcising the Heart Demon. Instead, I propose to take you as my master, allowing you to command me anytime in exchange for using the Divine Artifact for the removal of the Heart Demon, how do you feel about this?"

She thought, returning to Fengdu City, retaking a position, the current realm would surely lead to a much higher position than before with natural improvement in pay.

A High Level Cultivator's value is evident, working for someone doesn't matter after all? Directly allowing Mr. Jiang to command would avoid intermediaries profiting at her expense, more importantly, receiving hits conveniently!

Qu Luming couldn't help but raise an eyebrow hearing this, felt at the critical moment, the senior wasted no time, grabbing the opportunity as soon as it was available.

Indeed, within the Cultivation Realm, everything is available when powerful, see how this usually aloof character whom even Fengdu City couldn't keep rushed straight to Mr. Jiang.

Take under the wing?

Available for command anytime?

For Jiang Yuan, just carrying the Demon-Subduing Pestle daily beating people for experience is a worthwhile exchange for gaining a Super High Level Ghost Cultivator's strong assistance.

However, such development makes Tang Qin's position slightly awkward.

Originally planned for her to oversee Lotus Peak, managing the "mining" operations, now suddenly emerged a higher-level Ghost Cultivator...

"Using a Divine Artifact to expel the Heart Demon is no issue, but can Miss He follow me to the Wilderness World?"

"Of course!" She accepted at once, smiling: "Since until the Heart Demon is completely gone, my cultivation, whatever it may be, will be futile. Going to the Human World, the only issue is the lack of available Yin Fiend Qi for absorption, but it's alright.

I have a pair of Magical Treasures named: Wind Rings, commissioned an Artifact Refiner at great cost to craft them, originally planned to leave one to Huo Jun one, allowing instant teleportation to his presence whenever, alas..."

Mentioning past events again, she evidently still felt deep regret, bitterly smiling: "Unfortunately, he wouldn't accept, now it seems he probably didn't want me to find him.

However, it's good, now they can be put to use!

Then, leaving one ring in the Netherworld and another one over there allows instant return to the Netherworld for absorbing the Yin Fiend Qi and then returning, taking about half an hour, without delaying major affairs.
