Chapter 5, Level 7 Chapter 38 Visiting the Qi Family
In Cheng'an Prefecture, in all counties and many towns and villages , countless people are eager to live in the prefectural city! Because the vast majority of demon hunters are here, the prefectural city is the relatively safest and most stable place.
The price of a villa in the city is also quite high.
"Mr. Wu, are you satisfied with this house?" Mr. Yu San asked enthusiastically.
Xu Jingming looked at the house in front of him. The most outstanding feature of this house was its large back garden, which covered an area of more than ten acres. The back garden was divided by small lakes, which was quite exquisite.
"A mansion like this would cost at least five thousand taels of silver in the capital city." Xu Jingming looked at Master Yu San. The location of this mansion was relatively remote, but it covered a large area after all, so it would definitely cost more than five thousand taels of silver.
"The Yu family is generous." Wu Qi also said.
"Thank you Mr. Wu for saving my life. If it weren't for Mr. Wu, many people in my Yu family would have to wear mourning clothes this time." Mr. Yu San said, "By the way, Mr. Wu, there is a rule in the city that if a new demon hunter is found, he must be reported to the government. My Yu family dare not lie, so we must report Mr. Wu's matter to the government as soon as possible."
"Okay, I know." Xu Jingming nodded. He had already collected detailed information before coming in.
Yu Sanye breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I won't bother you anymore, sir. I'll take my leave now."
"Goodbye, Mr. Yu San." Xu Jingming nodded and watched Mr. Yu San leave.
"Master."
Wu Qi looked at the big house with some excitement, "Such a big house, I need to hire some maids and servants to take care of it. I will go to the market tomorrow and hire a few people."
"Uncle Qi, you decide." Xu Jingming nodded. "Let's go out for dinner."
…
Cheng'an Prefecture City, Demon Subduing Division.
The demon hunters were discussing the case.
"Captain, this demon in Liu'an Lane in East City is a new demon, but judging from the files, he is very powerful. I am a little unsure. Captain, do you think I am suitable to take over?" A demon hunter asked the captain while holding the file.
The captain was a tall man with narrow eyes. He glanced at the file and said, "You are only in the second realm, and your magic is mediocre. Don't go and get yourself killed."
"Yes, I will listen to the captain." The demon hunter said immediately.
"Everyone come here."
An old man appeared in the yard.
Many demon-suppressing people around bowed slightly: "Sir."
"There's a new demon-slayer in the city," the old man said. "Although there are many idle demon-slayers in the city, you all need to pay attention to this one."
"Sir, is this man very powerful?" someone asked.
"He is very likely a demon-slayer of the fourth realm, and in reality, he should have a very strong background." The old man handed the page of paper to the tall captain beside him, who took it and looked at it carefully.
"Suspected to be the fourth realm?"
"In reality, is there someone important?"
The many demon hunters around were startled and looked at the page of paper.
With the speed at which their brains work, they can completely memorize the contents of a page of paper with just a glance.
The paper simply records the information:
Wu Ming: A suspected demon-conqueror of the fourth realm, who came to the demon-conquering world as 'Chen Qi' from the Chen family in Bai County, Cheng'an Prefecture. After being expelled from the Chen family, he changed his name to 'Wu Ming' and has now arrived in the prefectural city.
On the way to the city, they encountered a demon who easily withstood more than ten "demon-killing arrows" and was not afraid of the True Fire Talisman. The demon-slayer "Wu Ming" took action, wearing a starlight robe, bound the demon with a net, and killed the demon with three consecutive thunderbolts.
"Chen Qi from the Chen family in Bai County?"
"Bai County, we also have three demon-suppressing people stationed there! I haven't heard of Chen Qi."
"It means that he was not yet a demon-conqueror before! He must have just arrived."
"That demon could easily withstand more than a dozen demon-killing arrows. He should be considered the top level among human demons! But in the hands of this person, he has no power to fight back. This person... may indeed be a demon-killer of the fourth level."
"Three consecutive thunderbolts, obviously a spell cast instantly."
These demon hunters have inferred a lot from simple intelligence.
"He didn't join a sect, didn't join the government, and stayed in Bai County the whole time, yet he became a demon-slayer." The old man said, "This means that his secret method of demon-slaying was obtained from reality!"
"The newly arrived demon hunter dares to act alone. He is really confident." The captain also praised.
All the demon hunters present remembered the name "Wu Ming".
…
Although a trace of the devil's original demonic energy was sealed in the jade bottle, Xu Jingming was not in a hurry to refine the demon. This kind of thing cannot be rushed! After all, refining the demon is a confrontation between the mind and obsession. He rested peacefully for a night. The next morning, Uncle Qi went to the market to hire people, and Xu Jingming went to the Qi family.
"One of the largest families in the entire city." Xu Jingming came to the gate of Qi Mansion alone.
The Qi family's style is indeed extraordinary. Their mansion occupies an astonishingly large area, and there are guards on duty outside the gate.
The guards on duty, looking at Xu Jingming in a green robe, felt that the visitor was extraordinary, and they all became much more polite.
"Please inform us." Xu Jingming walked to the door and said, "Just say that Wu Ming is here to visit Senior Qi Xiao."
"Senior Qi Xiao?" The guards were a little confused. They had never heard of the name 'Qi Xiao', but the Qi family was so populous that they only knew some of the names.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
A guard said this and went into the mansion to report.
After a while.
An old butler ran out, looked at Xu Jingming, and asked, "Is this the gentleman who wants to visit Senior Qi Xiao?"
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.
The old butler nodded slightly: "Sir, follow me."
Xu Jingming followed him into the mansion. There were also some young people from the Qi family in the mansion. They were all watching this scene curiously.
"Butler Ding is in charge of serving the clan leader, but he actually came out to greet people in person?"
"Who is this person?"
The young people in the Qi family were all very curious.
The patriarch has a very transcendent status in the Qi family. Even the lord of Cheng'an Mansion respects the patriarch of the Qi family very much.
Soon, Xu Jingming came to a pavilion. A white-haired old man was sitting there. He looked at Xu Jingming with a smile and waved his hand slightly. Butler Ding bowed and left.
When the gray-haired old man looked at Xu Jingming with a smile, boom~~~~
The invisible spiritual force is pressing down!
Xu Jingming stood still, using the mental power techniques recorded in the "Light Chapter" to steadily defend and resist all attacks. Although his mind was not as strong as the opponent's, it was more than enough for defense alone.
"Wu Ming, nice to meet you, senior." Xu Jingming saluted.
"My name is Qi Chen, don't talk about senior or not." The old man smiled, "In reality, it's hard to say who is older between the two of us. My actual age is just over 1,000 years old. I'm considered young among the eighth-level starry sky creatures."
"You are older than me in real life." Xu Jingming said.
"Then just call me Brother Qi Chen." The old man said with a smile, "Judging from your appearance, it should have been not long since you came to the Demon-Subduing World."
"Yes, it just arrived recently." Xu Jingming nodded.
"Then how do you know the name Qi Xiao?" The old man was curious, "She has been away from the Demon-Subduing World for almost twenty years."
Xu Jingming was stunned.
Almost twenty years?
In other words, after Qi Xiao returned to Cheng'an Prefecture, he soon left the demon-suppressing world.
"I was also entrusted by someone." Xu Jingming said, "My senior brother Chi Tong asked me for help and asked me to meet Qi Xiao."
"I will send her a message through the virtual world network now. It depends on her decision whether she comes to see you or not." said the old man.
Xu Jingming nodded: "Thank you, Brother Qichen."
"It's just a small matter."
The old man smiled and said, "Brother Wu Ming, you are coming to the capital city. Do you want to settle here in the future?"
"I have this plan." Xu Jingming said.
"Then you can consider joining my Qi family." The old man smiled and said, "The demon hunters in our Qi family are actually some friends we met in real life. In order to take care of each other, they were all born in the Qi family."
Xu Jingming nodded in understanding.
It's normal. For some elementary civilizations, perhaps the eighth and seventh levels of a civilization are all born in the same family in the Demon-Subduing World! Unite together to deal with the dangers of the Demon-Subduing World.
"My Qi family is still very powerful in Cheng'an Prefecture." The old man blinked and said, "If you join the Qi family, we can cooperate with each other and be much safer when dealing with the devil."
"I'll think about it." Xu Jingming said.
…
In reality, on an extremely prosperous planet with life, there is a towering building that is over ten thousand meters high and reaches the sky.
Top floor of building.
The woman in black sat in front of the desk. She had ice-blue eyes and silver hair draped over her shoulders. Her eyes were cold and calm as she looked at the information on the screen in front of her.
There were densely packed shadows in the air ahead, a total of three hundred and twenty-six shadows.
"What's going on with the Dark Galaxy?" The woman in black frowned as she looked at the data. "In just one period, performance has dropped by 37%! Immediately send a law enforcement team to capture Director Montao of the Dark Galaxy and conduct a strict investigation!"
"Yes, Seventh Executor." A phantom stood up and responded respectfully.
The woman in black coldly reviewed the other documents one by one, and the participants in the meeting were also nervously waiting for the order of the female monarch.
"Huh? News about my brother? Isn't he in the Demon-Slaying World?" The black-clothed woman was a little confused. She clicked on the message and was stunned.
She looked at the message in silence.
"Red pupil?"
The woman in black's heart trembled slightly.
This is a name she thought she could forget.
She left the Demon-Subduing World to cut off the influence of emotions. It has been nearly 20 years, but she still thinks about it occasionally. Every time she thinks about it... strong emotions surge in her heart.
"I thought you wouldn't care, and that you just thought it was a dream in the virtual world. I didn't expect you to come to me first." The woman in black said silently.
She was silent for a long time.
The three hundred and twenty-six phantoms just waited silently, and no one dared to say a word.
"The meeting is disbanded." The woman in black said, and with a flick of her finger, the shadows of all the meeting participants disappeared.
…
In the demon-suppressing world.
In Cheng'an Mansion, Qi family, Xu Jingming was chatting with the head of the Qi family.
"After reaching the eighth level, it's getting harder and harder to improve my spiritual power." Clan leader Qi Chen sighed, "It's said that the spiritual magic refining effect of the Demon Subduing World is very good, but this is my third time in the Demon Subduing World! The effect is getting weaker and weaker. Look at me... I've cultivated to the fifth level and can't improve at all!"
"It's not easy to improve your spiritual strength." Xu Jingming agreed.
No matter how fast my actual combat skills improve, my spiritual strength is much slower in comparison.
“I’ve thought of so many ways.”
Chief Qi Chen looked up at the sky. "I have tried eight virtual worlds with relatively good results. I was also fortunate enough to have the guidance of the Source Life in person! In reality, I also hid my identity to find a job and did three completely different jobs..."
"But the improvement is slow." said Patriarch Qi Chen.
"You are still young, just over a thousand years old." Xu Jingming comforted.
"Yes, I'm still young."
Chief Qi Chen nodded, "Don't be impatient with your spiritual power. In fact, there are some peerless geniuses in the Universal Human Alliance. I heard that many of them became source life in less than a thousand years. I don't know how they cultivated."
When Xu Jingming heard this, he muttered to himself.
I know all about those geniuses! In addition to their extraordinary talents and the best inheritance, the most important thing is that they take the cosmic treasure "Ice Flower Spirit Liquid" for a long time. Without the Ice Flower Spirit Liquid, it would take a long time for those peerless geniuses to become source life.
"Huh?" Both Xu Jingming and Clan Leader Qi Chen noticed it and turned to look.
A tall woman in black walked over from a distance. There were some wrinkles on her face. After all, in the Demon-Slaying World, she was 51 years old. But from her current appearance and temperament, Xu Jingming could be sure that this woman must have been a peerless beauty when she was young.
"I'm Qi Xiao." The woman in black spoke directly and looked at Xu Jingming, "Did Chi Tong ask you to come?"
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded, "My Senior Brother Chi Tong asked me to come here to give you his contact information for the virtual world network."
When Qi Xiao heard this, a rare smile appeared on his cold face.
