Liyuan Street.
There wasn't much furniture in the house. Gu Yuan planned to buy some tomorrow. What he needed to do now was absorb the resources given by the Demon Suppressing Division.
That was the Blood Qi Pills sent today. These Blood Qi Pills were the best medicine for the Blood Qi realm, and they could accelerate the accumulation of blood qi.
The process of accumulating blood qi was extremely similar to the martial dao realm that Gu Yuan's main body cultivated.
Starting from the Blood Qi realm, it was: Blood Qi like a flag, Blood Qi like a wolf's smoke, Blood Qi like a tiger, Blood Qi like a dragon, Blood Qi like a furnace!
These five realms could elevate blood qi to its limit, which was also the limit of this world. In Gu Yuan's main body's world, due to the high world level and abundant resources, the Blood Qi realm could reach "blood qi filling the sky," but the resources consumed were extraordinarily high, which was impossible to achieve in this world.
Gu Yuan had no choice but to abandon this idea.
His current realm could only reach the level of blood qi permeating the body. According to his estimation, the two bottles of Blood Qi Pills given by the Demon Suppressing Division might allow him to reach the "Blood Qi like a flag" stage.
Without further ado, Gu Yuan directly took out the two bottles of Blood Qi Pills, poured out a round red pill. The pill exuded a fragrant aroma of medicinal herbs, which wafted around Gu Yuan's nose, causing the blood qi in his body to boil.
Was this the effect of Blood Qi Pills?
Gu Yuan looked at the Blood Qi Pill in his hand. It didn't seem stronger than the Blood Qi Pills from his main body's world. But then he thought, it was understandable. What level was the Azure World, and what level was this world?
Gu Yuan was well aware of these Blood Qi Pills. These were top-tier Blood Qi realm pills in this world. The best pills were probably only affordable by noble families and royalty. Gu Yuan didn't aspire to those.
In his opinion, as long as he could complete the system's mission and return to his main body, that would be enough.
It was unavoidable that there would be differences between pills. It could only be said that this system had come a bit late. If it had arrived when he first transmigrated, Gu Yuan's main body's current strength would likely be much stronger than it was now.
He truly understood the benefits of different time flows between two worlds. It was truly wonderful.
He hoped that the subsequent mission worlds would bring him some pleasant surprises. If the cultivation was still like this, it would be better to cultivate in his original world.
Gu Yuan mused about his future plans.
Looking at the pill in his hand, he hesitated no longer and popped it into his mouth.
It melted in his mouth, and a powerful stream of heat flowed into his body from his throat.
Gu Yuan firmly held his mind and began to circulate the "Extreme Yang Jue" to digest this medicinal power.
The entire room was filled with red blood light, which was an anomaly caused by Gu Yuan's blood qi permeating his body. The temperature in the room began to rise, like a furnace.
Pill after pill was fed into Gu Yuan's mouth. The vast medicinal power contained within was continuously refined by Gu Yuan, turning into his blood qi.
Generally speaking, this situation would cause blood qi to be unstable. However, for Gu Yuan's main body, a Dharma Aspect realm expert, this was a minor issue. He only needed to fight a few more battles later to stabilize it.
After all, Gu Yuan only needed to supplement resources and increase his blood qi reserves. He had experienced all of this before. He only needed to absorb resources diligently and didn't worry about an unstable foundation at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to become a patrol emissary.
The night passed without incident. Gu Yuan spent it slowly absorbing the medicinal power.
...
The Golden Crow reappeared in the sky. The gentle sunlight filtered through the clouds and fell upon the earth, bathing the entire world in radiance once more.
Indoors, Gu Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and closed his eyes to feel the blood qi within him.
With a thought, Gu Yuan's blood qi surged out of his body and flowed around his surface. Numerous blood qi strands rose above Gu Yuan's head and formed a flag, as if fluttering in the wind.
His entire being exuded an aura like a primordial beast. With every breath, blood qi circulated in his nose and mouth.
Gu Yuan stood up, clenched his fist, and felt a power far more surging than before. He sighed inwardly.
He hadn't expected Blood Qi Pills to be so unyielding. Two bottles of Blood Qi Pills had only propelled him to the "Blood Qi like a flag" stage. He was still far from "Blood Qi like a wolf's smoke."
It seemed he needed to seize the opportunity to accept missions and earn contribution points to exchange for pills to improve his realm.
This was Gu Yuan's main task. His secondary task was to quickly improve his status within the Demon Suppressing Division. The higher his status, the more resources he could obtain.
After washing up and packing his belongings, he left the small courtyard and headed for the Demon Suppressing Division.
On the way, he ate ten large meat buns and three cups of soy milk, which only made him about seven-tenths full.
Walking on the road to the Demon Suppressing Division, Gu Yuan touched his stomach somewhat vexed and sighed softly. For martial artists, seven parts were in cultivation, and three parts were in eating.
If nutritional intake was insufficient, let alone maintaining strength, it would be good if his strength didn't decline.
Since ancient times, poverty was associated with scholars and wealth with martial artists. To practice martial arts, one needed to consume a large amount of nutrients. Without a strong foundation, one would only exhaust their body.
Originally, in the Azure World, Gu Yuan had no such worries because the world was filled with spiritual energy. Gu Yuan only needed to absorb spiritual energy to maintain his nutrition.
Not to mention some fierce beasts and demonic beasts, these things contained a large amount of blood qi, allowing Gu Yuan to have sufficient nutrients to cultivate martial arts.
However, in this world, Gu Yuan did not feel the presence of spiritual energy, nor had he heard of the existence of demonic beasts.
Gu Yuan felt that the top experts in this world might have special methods to maintain their strength, such as the special pills in the last mission world that could allow a Hua Jin realm expert to maintain their strength for a month.
This world likely had similar things, but they were not accessible to Gu Yuan at this stage.
Such things would definitely do more than just fill the stomach; they would likely have other effects.
This made Gu Yuan's desire for strength even stronger.
While his mind was churning, Gu Yuan also arrived at the headquarters of the Demon Suppressing Division. He presented his token and entered the headquarters.
He went straight to the mission hall, intending to choose a mission that would be very beneficial to him.
For his first mission, he planned to test the waters and feel the difference between a patrol emissary and an ordinary emissary.
Standing in the mission hall, he looked up at the mission list. As his gaze swept across, a mission caught his eye.
It made Gu Yuan's eyes light up. This mission was very suitable for him at the moment. It was relatively simple, and the mission reward was quite good.
Gu Yuan made up his mind to take on this mission.
He took his token to the counter to accept the mission.
In a short while, Gu Yuan left the mission hall with a file in his hand.
[Mission Name: Slay the Brothel Vengeful Ghost!]
[Mission Level: Profound Tier.]
[Mission Requirements: Investigate the secrets behind the Brothel Vengeful Ghost!]
[Mission Location: Fushan City.]
...
Gu Yuan packed his bags, mounted a fine horse, and headed for Fushan City, fifty li away.
