I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

The feel of a Heavenly Spirit Jade Dew Pill, a mid-grade elixir, in one's hand was completely different from that of a low-grade elixir.

As soon as Han Zheng opened the cork of the porcelain bottle, a thick, refreshing scent of medicine instantly filled the entire room.

When he poured out the elixir, the Heavenly Spirit Jade Dew Pill was transparent like jade and exhibited an ice-blue hue with fine ice cracks throughout it.

Heaven knows what materials were used to refine this Heavenly Spirit Jade Dew Pill into such a form.

Han Zheng swallowed the elixir in one gulp, and instantly, a tremendous surge of spiritual energy filled his limbs and bones.

It was robust but gentle, and the elixir even seemed to have its own consciousness as it slowly rotated in Han Zheng's stomach, releasing its medicinal power.

At that moment, Han Zheng's body still had not depleted its strength, so the release of the medicinal power was slow.

If Han Zheng had been completely exhausted, the elixir would have released its power faster, which was quite peculiar.

Han Zheng mobilized his true qi, slowly cultivating the small thread of True Yuan within him, helping it gradually grow stronger until it spread throughout his body.

The medicinal power of the Heavenly Spirit Jade Dew Pill was endlessly powerful; whenever Han Zheng used up a bit of true qi, the pill's medicinal power immediately replenished it, almost like a perpetual motion machine.

After three days and nights without sleep, Han Zheng continually cultivated his True Yuan.

The True Yuan grew from a sliver at the Life Gate to encompass about one-tenth of his body before the medicinal power was completely exhausted.

Han Zheng opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

The cultivation of martial arts depended not only on talent and willpower but also on resources.

For example, advancing from the Late Stage of Innate Transcendence Realm or from Half-step Xuan Gang Realm to Xuan Gang Realm required a substantial amount of resources.

Otherwise, relying solely on arduous cultivation, it could even take more than ten or dozens of years to break through.

However, this mid-grade elixir was not cheap.

This was why only the Demon Cleansing Bureau could freely exchange merit points for it.

In the outside world, one might not even be able to buy a mid-grade elixir with elemental crystals.

Just like the Dan Yang Sect, they also had the capability to refine mid-grade elixirs.

But because the Dan Yang Sect's production of mid-grade elixirs was extremely low, they only sold them to major powers to earn favors.

Small powers or independent practitioners would not even get a chance to buy mid-grade elixirs from the Dan Yang Sect.

After continuously cultivating for three days, Han Zheng stretched his slightly stiff body and prepared to eat something in the mess hall.

In reality, after consuming the pill, regardless of whether Han Zheng ate or not didn't matter due to the surging medicinal power within his body.

But having not eaten for three days, instinctively, Han Zheng still felt the need to eat something.

However, just as he walked outside, a sudden urgent ringing of a bell came from within the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Han Zheng's expression changed slightly.

The bell indicated an urgent massive mission was underway; all Xuanjia Guards currently in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, whether they were on duty, on holiday, or not, had to assemble immediately.

Han Zheng hurried to the training field of the Demon Cleansing Bureau and saw Yang Tianqi. He walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Yang Tianqi also had a perplexed expression and said, "I don't know, but it must be something significant; otherwise, Officer Wen wouldn't ring the bell."

In less than a hundred breaths' time, all the Xuanjia Guards of the Kui Character Camp had already gathered.

Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao walked out from the inner hall.

After glancing at the number of people present, Xu Cunbao said solemnly, "We have just received news that a large bandit group, the Blood Wolf Thieves from Huainan Road, have moved into our Southern Mountain."

The gathered Xuanjia Guards immediately started murmuring amongst themselves.

"Who are the Blood Wolf Thieves?"

Han Zheng quietly asked Yang Tianqi, standing beside him.

He was somewhat familiar with the forces in the Martial World of Southern Mountain but not very well-informed about the overall powers in Great Zhou.

When he had time, he really needed to visit the Guardian Storage to go through some records to broaden his perspective.

Yang Tianqi explained quietly, "Tiancang Mountain Range has one side close to Huainan Road, where a large mountain named Tiandang Mountain is located, which is easy to defend but hard to conquer.

A group of bandits established their base there and called themselves the Blood Wolf Thieves."

"Does a gang of bandits need such a massive mobilization?"

"Ordinary bandits certainly wouldn't warrant it, but the Blood Wolf Thieves are known as bandits in name only when they are actually akin to major felons!

The Blood Wolf Thieves have nine leaders, each one a figure on the wanted list of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, with the weakest among them being at the Xuan Gang Realm.

Their leader, 'Demon Abyss Blood Wolf' Zhong Wanchou, is even at the peak of the Dan Sea Realm, having already condensed a Martial Arts True Pill as a grandmaster.

It is said that at their peak, the Blood Wolf Thieves had over a thousand elite Blood Wolf Riders, whose quality was even comparable to that of Great Zhou's true elite cavalry.

They also had nearly ten thousand bandit followers, capable of destroying families, conquering lands, and everything else with ease.

The court even dispatched a large army to exterminate them, but was obstructed by the perilous terrain of Tiandang Mountain, ultimately ending up in disgrace and abandoning the effort."

Han Zheng showed a hint of surprise.

The power of these Blood Wolf Thieves was somewhat overwhelmingly strong.

The nine leaders were at least of the Xuan Gang Realm, including the sect leader who was a grandmaster at the peak of the Dan Sea Realm.

Such power, in Southern Mountain, was second only to the Five Families and Seven Sects, even stronger than Ye Liuyun's Fuyun Valley Ye Family.

Moreover, they also had over a thousand elite armored cavaliers, which indeed made them strong enough to prompt the court to deploy a large army to exterminate them.

To know that Great Zhou did not define just anyone on horseback as a cavalryman, each of these cavaliers could easily take down a Postnatal martial artist.

Firstly, these horses were not ordinary but large, strongly enduring breeds that ate meat!

Even when the horses grew up, they needed to be fed with herbs to strengthen their constitution, looking almost demonic in their robustness.

And the riders of these horses were at least of the peak Postnatal Realm, vigorous and vigorous, and clad in full body armor made from Hundred-refined Steel, essentially walking tanks.

To call the Blood Wolf Thieves mere felons was an understatement; they were outright rebels!

Xu Cunbao continued, "Huainan Road is now in chaos, and the Blood Wolf Thieves, having disputed over an item with the Smell Fragrance Sect, were utterly defeated by them.

But their ninth leader 'Ghost Face Sky Wolf' Chou Jingxiao brought a hundred remnants of the Blood Wolf Thieves in fleeing to our Southern Mountain.

Along the way, they even annihilated a few minor sects and small families, plundering many resources.

The Blood Wolf Thieves act brutally and ruthlessly, lawlessly, and to prevent them from entering deeper into our Southern Mountain, we must eradicate them early!

It's also reported from Huainan Road that the Blood Wolf Thieves had snatched something from the Smell Fragrance Sect, provoking them to wipe out the thieves.

This item might be in Chou Jingxiao's possession, and whoever finds it will receive a special reward—the opportunity to enter the Guardian Storage inner chamber and select a cultivation technique."

Upon hearing this, everyone present lit up with interest.

The Guardian Storage inner chamber held the most precious resources of the entire Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, accessible only with a signature personally from someone of Wen Tingyun's level.

The cultivation techniques in the inner chamber were of at least the Xuan Gang Realm.

That is to say, whoever obtained the item from Chou Jingxiao would be rewarded with at least a Xuan Gang Realm cultivation technique!

However, although everyone was tempted, they subconsciously looked towards Han Zheng and Su Wuming.

Currently, within the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, the only ones capable of taking on a Xuan Gang Realm were these two.

So, even if there was a chance to obtain this merit, it would most likely belong to these two.

For others, they could only try their luck and pick up what was left.

"Blood Wolf Thieves are no small matter, even if it is the thoroughly defeated Blood Wolf Thieves by the Smell Fragrance Sect.

Thus, this mission will be led personally by Wen Tingyun, with a hundred elites chosen to eliminate the Blood Wolf Thieves.

The rest will stay with me in Kai Ping Prefecture."

Xu Cunbao paid tremendous attention to the Blood Wolf Thieves.

There were hundreds on the Blood Wolf Thieves' side, and he felt at ease only deploying hundreds on this side.

This was because Kai Ping Prefecture served as the headquarters for the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, requiring a grandmaster of the Dan Sea Realm to garrison it.

Otherwise, Xu Cunbao himself would have liked to personally lead the expedition.

Wen Tingyun swiftly picked out a hundred elites, naturally including Han Zheng and Su Wuming.

Everyone was to prepare their medicinal supplies among other essential items quickly, ready to depart in merely fifteen minutes.
