Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 239 - Lin Baiwei Goes to Beijing_1
Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Lin Baiwei Goes to Beijing_1
A Demon-suppression Great General actually came to the Demon Hunters’ Headquarters.
What’s even more surprising is that strand of crimson azure-faced lion’s qi and blood.
“Another Embrace Pill Realm Demon Monarch from Qingzhou?”
“Another martial warrior of the Jade Liquid Boundary?”
“No, is this Silver Bell Demon Catcher also called Shen Yi?”
The woman in charge at the Headquarters, listening more and more familiar, straightforward asked out loud.
Chen Qiankun coughed twice, not expecting Shen Yi to become so famous upon arriving at the Imperial City. It had only been two months since leaving Qingzhou, yet even at the Demon Hunters’ Headquarters, people could casually mention his name.
The woman smiled helplessly, “No need to wait, just go ahead.”
“Ah?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiankun walked out of the office somewhat bewildered. When did Qingzhou gain such high regard in the Martial Temple?
He bowed apologetically to his colleagues who had been waiting for a long time.
But he saw the group all smiling back at him, with no sign of resentment.
Ever since the incident in Song State spread.
Every state was worried that their own might suddenly erupt in flames, and when that happened, they’d have to rely on that patrolling official.
In comparison, what’s cutting in line?
“Strange.”
The old master didn’t quite understand but still went back to the carriage to tell Lin Baiwei.
“Then I’ll go…”
Lin Baiwei looked somewhat dispirited.
Chen Qiankun subconsciously looked back and sure enough, those two figures had already left.
“It’s alright, you go through the refinement first, and after it’s over, I will take you to find him.”
“I don’t want to go.”
Lin Baiwei rubbed her face, trying to look more normal, walking into the grand hall sullenly.
She just wanted to go back to Qingzhou now.
Looking at the thirteen resplendent Golden Bodies, Lin Baiwei bowed her head and, as usual, sat on the meditation cushion, her thoughts somewhat distracted.
Now the person had run off; not even a trace of his qi and blood was left, and she had no longing left!
The dense white mist sealed the entrance of the hall.
“Don’t daydream, focus.”
A slender and fair hand casually ruffled her hair, a voice sounding from behind her, familiar, calm, and gentle.
Lin Baiwei trembled slightly, turning around in astonishment.
She saw the handsome young man retract his hand, standing up straight again, his black and clear eyes quietly watching her, a robe of silk cyan blowing gently, accentuating his tall figure.
Lin Baiwei’s cheeks flushed red.
She hadn’t expected to see Shen Yi here, completely unprepared and somewhat caught off guard.
“Tsk.”
The remaining three temple keepers were looking at the young girl with interest, seemingly well-acquainted with Junior Brother Shen.
“How come you’re here?”
Lin Baiwei’s voice was faint like a mosquito’s, turning her head to look at the temple keepers, “I…”
“It’s okay, chat at your leisure, we’re not in a hurry.”
The temple keepers squeezed out smiles, showing a very patient demeanor.
When Lin Baiwei last came to the Martial Temple Refinement, she saw these very people, and except for the ugliest grandpa, the rest had cold faces, nothing like the approachable look they had now.
Wait a minute—
She finally remembered why she felt the cyan robe Shen Yi was wearing seemed familiar.
These clothes, in any other place, couldn’t be more common.
But inside the Martial Temple, anyone wearing cyan meant they commanded the temple!
Slap!
Shen Yi’s Golden Scroll slapped on her head, “Focus.”
She should not miss the chance to break through to Condensation Elixir Completion, instead of entertaining wild thoughts here.
“Okay.”
Lin Baiwei obediently closed her eyes.
Shen Yi casually performed a spell, having been a temple keeper for so many days, this bit he could still learn.
With the gesture, the dementia-stricken elder on the offering table slowly opened his eyes.
Soon, a golden light peeled off from the Dharma Aspect and fell onto Lin Baiwei.
Time slowly trickled by.
In the end, another fifty percent surged out, returning to the Golden Body.
The three temple priests nodded slightly, disregarding the suppression of the demon—this aptitude could already be considered excellent.
An Azure-faced Lion was exchanged for eight refinements.
Shen Yi was not impatient, occasionally performing a spell, but more often, he focused his attention on the Ancestor of the Martial Temple.
Despite using the same Golden Body Technique, the other’s body did not have the bright red veins.
It must be due to the differences in the objects used for suppression.
Having his distractions suppressed within the demon soul, he naturally bore a hint of the demon’s aura.
Day turned to night.
The eight refinements finally came to an end.
Shen Yi felt the aura on Lin Baiwei, just one step away from Condensation Elixir Completion, shook his head and performed a spell to wake up the previously slumbering Ancestor of the Martial Temple once more.
The ninth golden light fell instantly.
Lin Baiwei opened her eyes in surprise and then shook her head slightly in some panic.
She certainly didn’t want Shen Yi to take advantage of his position to do anything untoward.
“Solidify your pill.”
Shen Yi glanced at her.
Back then, when he took some silver from the Lin Family back home, this woman suspected him of robbing the neighbors; now here she was, suspicious again—could his image really be so poor?
The other priests chuckled and shook their heads.
Let alone the fact that Junior Brother Shen had one refinement opportunity left over from the last time—even if he had none, the Golden Scroll was given to him; this was nothing in comparison.

The fog at the entrance of the Martial Temple dispersed.
A young man in a long robe strolled out, followed by a well-behaved little girl.
“Did you come alone?”
“And General Chen.”
Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded and took Lin Baiwei to the adjacent Demon-suppression Bureau General Office.
The sword-wielding woman was still waiting there.
Shen Yi politely clasped his hands: “Madam Lin, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Previously, he had met a couple from the Li State Instrument Sect in the Yi Courtyard—the woman was Lin Qingyang’s wife.
“You flatter me, Inspector Shen,” Madam Lin hurriedly returned the greeting.
Inspector? Lin Baiwei stood quietly behind Shen Yi, sneaking peeks at his back.
It seemed that wherever he went, he became an exceedingly remarkable figure.
Even though she had known him for so long, Lin Baiwei still found it somewhat hard to get used to.
This was the Imperial City.
Yet everyone she saw treated Shen Yi with utmost courtesy.
He was no longer that same junior officer who had chewed on baked cakes with her in a cramped room…
“I mostly reside deep within the Martial Temple and am not privy to much. If Inspector Shen wishes to know more, I can send someone back to Li State to inquire.”
This time, Madam Lin had sought out Shen Yi herself.
The Li State Instrument Sect was a renowned force within Great Qian, its methods of forging Precious Tools were nothing short of miraculous.
However, it seemed that the ultimate Precious Tool had always been their limit.
“I didn’t quite agree when the Sect asked Qingqiu for help at that time—they are not reliable,” Madam Lin shook her head.
In order to break the limit, the Sect had sought the assistance of a Jack-of-all-trades Fox Demon from Qingqiu.
There was no point in hiding this fact.
Although Qingqiu was a demon force, it was quite unique, and even if it came to the Great Qian Imperial City, the Martial Temple would most likely welcome them with open doors.
After all, no one wanted to offend a powerful and neutral faction without good reason.
But the issue lay in the lack of control.
That Fox Demon, with intentions unknown, actually sent out invitations to Qingzhou in the name of the Sect.
Upon learning of this, the old ancestor of the Sect sensed something amiss but did not dare to offend the Fox Demon, hence he quickly sent people to report to the Imperial City.
