earth lay before his eyes.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!For a moment.Mo Zi-jin was also taken aback.The scene of the human race and the Minghe Realm is completely...He has already entered the Demon Suppression Division.

Then there is nothing to regret.

An apprentice demon slayer is just the beginning. A formal demon slayer, and eventually a guardian, are what Shen Changqing aspires to be.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After Pure Yang Gong broke through to the eighth layer, he slowed down his pace.

It's not that Shen Changqing doesn't want to continue breaking through, but cultivating a path requires balance and moderation.

Blind pursuit of ascetic practices.

Not necessarily get what you want.

Less than a year.

It is already astonishing and unbelievable that someone has never entered the Pure Yang Technique but has broken through to the eighth level.

Long hours of continuous cultivation also made Shen Changqing feel some fatigue.

Anyway, the remaining time definitely won't be enough to break through to the ninth layer.

Well then.

He no longer wanted to expend too much energy, but rather adjusted his state and prepared for the next task.

After one year of probationary period, the apprentice exorcist...

To become a formal demon slayer, you have to complete the tasks of the assessment.

The official exorcist.

It is also divided into ranks.

Just like the Four Demon Slayer Institutes, formal Demon Slayers are divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang.

>

Above a novice exorcist is the Huangjie exorcist.

As long as Shen Changqing completes the assessment task, he can become a Huangjie demon slayer. As for failing to complete the task, the consequences speak for themselves.

Because the Demon Suppression Division's missions never had a second chance.

Either live to finish.

Either die in failure.

All demon hunters face monsters and goblins, but monsters and goblins don't care about sparing anyone.

If it matches.

Either they die, or I do.

Here is the translated text:

In the courtyard.

Shen Changqing rolled up his sleeves and sat on a wooden stool.

A flat stone was placed before him.

His unique long blade was now held in Shen Changqing's hand. His left hand pressed down on the blade, slowly causing the edge to rub against the stone.

Sharpen the knife!

Two days of rest.

Let Shen Changqing's state return to an unprecedented peak.

But deep down, I still couldn't find complete peace.

So.

He thought about sharpening his knife.

Every demon slayer is equipped with a weapon, the specific type of which can be freely chosen based on each individual's circumstances.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing's weapon was a long sword.

The style of the longsword is somewhat similar to a weapon from an era he knew in his previous life.

That is—the Tang Dynasty sword!

Such weaponry is the most lethal.

This is also the reason why Shen Changqing chose a long knife.

Of course, there are still some differences compared to a real sword.

For example—length!

The friction between the blade and whetstone produced a sharp, rhythmic sound that echoed in the quiet courtyard.

Time passes slowly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Changqing's sharpening motion suddenly paused.

Then he stood up, pure yang zhenqi surging into the blade. The dirt remaining on it vanished, causing the long sword to reflect a terrifying cold light.

The long sword returns to its sheath.

He walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

As I opened the gate, I happened to see Jiang Zuo standing outside.

"Here comes Jiang!"

"It seems you're ready."

Jiang Zuo saw Shen Changqing, who had a sword on his waist, with a slight smile on his face.

The more he interacted with Shen Changqing, the more he gradually uncovered a secret about him.

For example,

When was Shen Changqing born with true qi, and what martial arts does he currently specialize in

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

After learning that the other party had only been in the Demon Suppression Division for two or three months and was promoted to Tongmai, Jiang Zu understood why Liu Chang treated them differently.

A peerless genius!

Being placed anywhere, they are invaluable individuals.

Suddenly.

Jiang Zuo sighed: "It's a pity that you joined the Demon Suppression Division. If you had joined other martial arts schools, with your talent, you would definitely be cultivated vigorously and wouldn't have to face those things until the pulse merging realm."

But once you join the Demon Suppression Department, there's no turning back.

No one can escape the Demon Suppression Division, even if you defect, the Demon Suppression Division will pursue you to the end.

Those martial arts schools, upon learning that you were a traitor to the Demon Suppression Division, would absolutely refuse to take you in.

The Zhen Mo Si is unlike any other sect.

Once you enter the Demon Suppression Division, either live to reach the top, or die in the process of completing your mission.

Even a genius can't be an exception.

That's all.

To be strictly speaking.

In the eyes of those peerless geniuses, the Demon Suppressing Division's practices were unfair. However, in the eyes of others, the Demon Suppressing Division's impartial approach was commendable.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly: "Jiang Guan, where did you get that from Ever since I joined the Demon Suppression Division, I have never regretted it."

"If it hadn't been for the Demon Suppression Division taking me in, I probably would have died on some desolate mountain or become a demon's meal by now. There's no way I'd be standing here talking."

"You're not wrong."

Jiangzuo took a long, hard look at him, then smiled again.

"Actually, you have a higher probability of passing the assessment tasks than most apprentice exorcists. You specialize in Pure Yang Kung Fu, which is the most masculine and yang martial art."

At a high level, one can subdue weaker ghosts.

"As for the tasks given to apprentice demon slayers, most involve dealing with Lesser Specters. As long as they are careful, there shouldn't be any major problems."

>

That's all.

Jiang Zuo took a moment to pause, "For the sake of us possibly becoming true colleagues in the future, I'll give you one last piece of advice."

During the course of the mission, do not blindly trust what you see, nor what you hear.

The eerie phantom kills with illusions. Once you fall into them, it's hard to get out. How to break free depends on you.

"There are many things I can't tell you in detail because imparting too much of my experience to you might not be beneficial."

There are just too many kinds of demons and monsters. If you try to deal with them methodically, you'll be walking a dead end.

In crucial moments, how you respond depends entirely on your own abilities.

The voices from the left bank of the river were heavy with seriousness.

When the other party finished speaking, Shen Changqing clasped his fists and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Jiang, for clearing up my doubts. In the future, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely return the favor!"

“Haha, you don't have to be too serious. Explaining these precautions to you is what we demon-slayers are supposed to do.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As for some ordinary matters, feel free to seek answers in the library.

But when it comes to actually going on missions, I'll need to give you a serious explanation of some things. That way, we can minimize some losses.

>

"Although that may be the case, this subordinate still cannot forget Master Jiang's guidance!"

Shen Changqing's face was still solemn.

What Jiang Zuo says is one thing, and what he does is another.

Saying a few kind words won't hurt you, so why make people annoyed

On hearing this.

On the left side of the river, Jiang Zuo's smile became even more obvious.

Once again, he explained some things to pay attention to, then handed a white jade pendant to Shen Changqing.

The Qinglei Jade Pendant is a treasure refined by the Demon Suppression Division. Wherever there are demons, the jade pendant will emit an alert.

At the same time as slaying those creatures, corresponding traces will also appear on the Qingling Jade Pendant.

This trace serves as your basis for completing the mission.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Jade Pendant of Purity!"

Shen Changqing looked at the jade pendant in his hand and, hearing Jiang Zuo's words, he understood that it was indeed a precious treasure.

To say nothing of other aspects, the appearance alone is already priceless.

As you can see.

>

The鎮魔司 (town demon division) is almost a must-have for everyone.

From this alone, one can see how wealthy and extravagant the Demon Suppression Division is.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

However.

Shen Changqing also noticed the loopholes in Jiang Zuo's words.

"What Jiang meant is that we have to kill the monster ourselves to complete the task. So if someone else kills it, wouldn't that mean I failed"

"Yes, but not quite. Once a demon is slain, your task is complete. However, without the Qingling Jade Pendant as a basis, you cannot advance to become a Huangjie exorcist."

Because every Yellow Rank demon slayer must possess the strength to rival a Specter-grade monster.

Moreover, as long as the eerie presence dies within ten meters of you, the Qingling Jade Pendant will capture its aura.

Normally, as long as you stay within the range, the monster won't die at your hands, and you can still be promoted.

Jiangzuo shook his head and explained Shen Changqing's confusion.

Seeing the other person's thoughtful expression.

He said something more.

“Huang Jie's demon-hunting tasks will always involve strange and paranormal occurrences. If you lack the strength to contend with such entities, even if you manage to be promoted, it will be a dead end.”

So, when executing tasks, if you can avoid taking shortcuts, try your best to do so.

The stronger the monsters are, the harder they are to deal with.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He who plays tricks will ultimately harm himself.

“I've learned something!”

With a jade pendant of pure spirit in his hand, Shen Changqing solemnly bowed.

He also understood what Jiangzuo was saying.

Any official demon hunter is respected for their skill.

All tricks and schemes are utterly ineffective in the face of absolute power.

Even if you were lucky enough to complete the promotion task, it's impossible to be that lucky every time in the many tasks that follow.

The Huang Jie Exorcism was just the beginning.

There are still the Xuan ranks, Di ranks, and even Tian ranks to come.

Every stage of the Demon Slayer requires completing corresponding tasks, and no one can escape this.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Not enough strength.

In the many tasks that lie ahead, there is sure to be a fall.

Seeing this.

Jiang Zuo didn't say much more.

>

He has said everything that needed to be said. The rest can only be learned through the process of carrying out the mission.

So, when Shen Changqing came to understand, Jiang Zuo also got down to business.

According to intelligence, there are eerie occurrences in and around Guangyuan Prefecture's Lin'an City. According to the Demon Suppression Division's assessment, there are indeed eerie beings present there, but their strength is not too high, roughly at the You grade level.

>

Your mission is to go to Lin'an City and completely eliminate the monsters there.

Here is some specific information you can look at slowly on the way.
