2: I have a seat

The Celestial Pill Secret Technique was also very important to Li Dong.

Normal Cultivators have a Qi Mansion in their bodies for storing Spiritual Qi, but it is also a fatal weakness for Cultivators.

Once the Qi Mansion is destroyed, the Cultivator's cultivation will be completely gone.

The Celestial Pill Secret Technique undoubtedly solved this problem.

Li Dong was also extremely worried about his father's physical condition and hoped that the Celestial Pill Secret Technique would solve this problem this time.

In the night sky, figures could be seen constantly moving around; those were the people of Li Village.

"Captain! Two more ghosts were found in the residential area, and they have all been killed!"

Li Tianyun sent a message.

His tender face showed excitement; he was only fifteen years old, yet he was already at the Body Refinement Third Level, so his talent was indeed not low.

Li Dong nodded and said, "We need to be more careful these days. Father is in seclusion, and there is no Foundation Establishment expert guarding us, so we must raise our vigilance."

He returned to his room.

Dense Spiritual Qi surrounded him. Li Dong closed his eyes and calmed his breath, as the cultivation Tips (secret) of the Celestial Pill Secret Technique unfolded in his mind.

"Spiritual Qi disperses slowly, spreading throughout the body. With the body as a vessel and Qi as fire, refine it into a pill; this is the Celestial Pill."

"Haha, is this Lord Zhang's old subordinate's hometown? It really is a remote corner, far inferior to our Blackwater City. Coming here, even the Spiritual Qi has slowed down considerably."

The middle-aged man, dressed in a gilded robe, chatted and laughed with a few young men beside him as they slowly arrived at the village entrance.

The villagers of Li Village looked at the badges on their chests and swallowed, not daring to offer any resistance.

"It really is a poor and desolate place. Don't they know to receive guests? Is this how they treat guests?"

"I say, Zhao Zhen, this is not your law enforcement department's territory. It's good enough for a small place to have a foothold. What more do you want? Accustomed to lavish meals, have you forgotten how ordinary people live?"

An old man next to him was clearly displeased with the middle-aged man's remarks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingyan walked over quickly.

"Qingyan greets all Lords!"

"A woman?"

Before the leading middle-aged man could speak, the young man beside him spoke first: "There really is no one left in this place. The Law Enforcement Lord has arrived, but the old subordinate of the Demon Suppression Division is nowhere to be seen to greet him. Perhaps we should have brought compensation, so we would have a chance to see the face of the old general of the Demon Suppression Division."

Although Li Qingyan was young, she knew good and bad words.

She pursed her lips and said, "Law Enforcement Lord, please do not be angry. My father was temporarily delayed by some matters, so this young woman has come to receive you. If there is anything, you can tell Qingyan, and Qingyan will relay it!"

"What could be more important than seeing the Law Enforcement Lord..."

"Alright, alright."

Zhang Wu raised his hand to interrupt the person beside him, a slight smile appearing on his face, "You must be Li Shanyue's daughter, right?"

"Precisely."

"Body Refinement Fourth Level, talent is acceptable. Take us inside to sit down!"

Inside the room.

"My name is Zhang Wu. I used to be your father's superior."

As they sat down, Zhao Zhen looked at Li Qingyan: "When can your father come over?"

Li Qingyan naturally knew that her father was at a critical juncture, concerning his life, so he naturally couldn't delay his important matter for such a reception.

She took a deep breath and could only reply, "Father has been overworked recently and is currently in seclusion. This time, he might not be able to make it... I really didn't expect the Law Enforcement Lord to arrive so quickly."

Upon hearing this.

The young man gave a fake smile, while Zhao Zhen drank his tea in silence.

Only Zhang Wu waved his hand and said, "No matter, it's fine. Haha, we came here this time to see if there were any promising young people. And look, we just found one, so it wasn't a wasted trip after all."

However, the young man still didn't let up, "Although that's what you say, does Lord Zhang really think that someone from a place where Spiritual Qi is so scarce can deal with powerful Yao Beasts? I don't think so. Which one of those who can join the law enforcement team and the Demon Suppression Division isn't a Prodigy? After a battle, how many can survive?"

"If merely daring to face Yao Beasts can be considered a standard, then I think the Demon Suppression Division's standard might be too low, wouldn't you agree?"

A voice echoed in the hall. Li Qingyan's face lit up with joy as she said, "Brother!"

Li Dong wore a black robe, thin yet tall and straight.

He looked at Zhang with neither arrogance nor servility, cupping his fists: "Lord Zhang."

"Haha, Li Dong, right? I know. Your father has mentioned you often these past few years."

Zhao Zhen frowned and looked up, "Body Refinement Fifth Level? Young man, your strength is decent, but you're not very polite. Although Wang Wei is also at the Body Refinement Fifth Level, he has been through many years of trials and tribulations in the Demon Suppression Division's law enforcement team. Can you compare to him in terms of understanding Yao Beasts?"

Li Dong nodded, not denying it: "What Lord says is true. However, although this is just a small village, we have also faced Yao Beasts alone for several years. At least, we can't wait for the Lords of the Demon Suppression Division to come and save us."

These words were naturally full of sarcasm.

The Demon Suppression Division's mission was to suppress demons in various places, yet places like theirs were left unattended and uncared for.

"You!" Zhao Zhen's face turned ugly.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Zhang Wu saw that the conversation was turning hostile again and quickly called a halt.

"Enough. Actually, the reason I wanted to see your father today was to bring good news. The Demon Suppression Division is expanding its Ranks recently, and there will be a selection competition. Your father once shed blood for the Demon Suppression Division, so we want to give you all a chance in this selection competition.

I have five slots on my side this time. There are two ways to be selected: the selection competition and the direct entry competition.

The direct entry competition is to defeat someone of at least the same Rank as you in the Demon Suppression Division. The selection competition is to register at a nearby city and advance step by step. In short, there are only five slots in total."

Li Dong listened to Zhang Wu's words and asked, "Lord Li, is there a difference between these two methods?"

"The difference is that those who stand out from the direct entry competition can receive the Demon Suppression Baptism of the Demon Suppression Division, which is an opportunity to enhance one's talent and strength."

Hearing this, Li Dong's heart began to stir.

"But you are not qualified to take the direct entry competition."

Wang Wei, standing nearby, sneered, looking quite displeased with Li Dong.

Li Dong smiled, completely ignoring him, then looked at Zhang Wu, "Lord Zhang, since the direct entry competition only requires defeating someone of the same Rank in the Demon Suppression Division, if I defeat this gentleman now, can I directly secure a slot?"

"Insolent boy!"

Wang Wei's face turned ugly. Was this boy not putting him in his eyes?

"Lord, please allow me to accept his challenge! Although we are both at the Body Refinement Fifth Level, I want him to know the difference between him and a Demon Suppression Envoy!"

Zhang Wu also looked at Li Dong with some surprise.

"Few people dare to choose direct entry, but since you've said so, I'll give you a chance. Go outside."

Outside the village.

The two faced each other, Battle Intent erupting.

Li Dong, unhurried, raised his hand and said, "Please!"

Wang Wei sneered and immediately formed a hand seal.

"Demon Killing Palm, suppress and kill for me!"

Spiritual Qi surged immensely. Wang Wei was, after all, a strong expert from the Demon Suppression Division.

Li Dong also raised his hand, and a phantom large hand condensed in the air, then fiercely clenched down.

"Explode!"

This skill, [Ripping Sky Hand], obtained from killing ghosts, had now been practiced by Li Dong to an extremely familiar degree.

With a bang, Wang Wei's attack was completely shattered.

"How is this possible!"

Zhao Zhen, standing nearby, his eyes flickering, couldn't believe that this fellow from a small village could defeat the person he brought with a single move!

Zhang Wu was somewhat pleased with the performance of his old subordinate's son, "Quite interesting!"

"Although you are at the Body Refinement Fifth Level, your strength is not quite there."

His figure quickly moved to Wang Wei's side, and a whip kick swept across. Terrifying immense force spread throughout Wang Wei's body. With a 'crack', Wang Wei's ribs directly fractured, and he painfully fell to the ground, losing his combat ability.

Li Dong stood up straight and cupped his fists towards Zhang Wu, "Lord Zhang, I will take one of the direct entry slots."
