[Hidden Moon Following Wind:
Greetings, Daoist. I am a Demon Refiner from Canglin State.
Recently, I heard that a Qi Refiner in Fengyin State could morph and transform using sorcery, and I knew then that I was not alone in my path.
You must already understand that the path of Qi Refinement is a dead end with no way forward; only by blazing a new trail can one hope for a future.
This Demon Refining Technique, though unconventional, has its mysteries. With long-term practice, it not only strengthens oneself but also eliminates demons, ridding the world of evil. It truly achieves two goals with one action.
I once thought I alone had mastered this wonderful technique, yet to find peers on the same path fills my heart with joy.
As an elder, I have the responsibility to guide the younger generation, and hence I leave you this letter.
I have cultivated the Demon Refining Technique for thousands of years and gained extensive knowledge. If you have the heart to learn and seek the path, you may come to see me.
However, to prove your sincerity, there are three tasks I need you to complete. You may choose one to fulfill. If done well, I will present you with a future. As for which path to choose, it’s up to you.
Demon Refiner: Qin Shou]
Xiao Jie was surprised; he hadn’t expected there to be seniors among the Demon Refiners, and it seemed the technique wasn’t created by Master Hongchen.
Thinking about it, the Demon Refining Gourd that Master Hongchen had was also given to him by someone else.
From Qin Shou’s tone, it seemed this person’s strength would not be weak indeed. After all, to become a Demon Refiner, one must first inherit the Qi Refining tradition, and any Qi Refiner who has lived until now would definitely not be weak.
Perhaps he is an old monster from the same era as Master Hongchen.
Since this is a professional task, it must be done. I just wonder what kind of reward this professional task will give me.
Generally speaking, the higher the level of the professional task, the better the rewards. Demon Refiner is a legendary profession; the reward for this task will definitely not be bad.
Xiao Jie continued to look at the attachments to the letter. After clicking open, an options bar popped up immediately.
[System Prompt: You have triggered the Demon Refiner professional task. Please choose one of the following three professional tasks. Note: Players can only choose one professional task. Abandoned tasks cannot be re-selected. Please choose carefully.]
[Task 1: Boiling Monster Blood.
Task Content: I recently discovered the secret of the differences between human and demon bloodlines. Humans can transform into demon beasts, and demons can also take human form. Obviously, humans and demons stem from the same source, though they’ve walked different paths.
If we can trace back to the source, perhaps we can permanently transform racial natures; I’ve researched this quite a bit.
With enough materials, humans can be permanently transformed into demons. Humans are originally seeds of Dao and the best race to attain the Dao, but the path to immortality has long been severed, and weak humans are no match for powerful demons.
If you want to transform into a demon race, please collect the following materials and bring them to me.
Demon King Core (core material), Thousand-year-old Ginseng, Thousand-year-old Fleeceflower Root, Demon Star Strange Fruit, and Five Elements Essence.
Task Reward: Race transformation to - Demon Race. You can permanently transform your bloodline into that of a demon race, gaining the exclusive lifebound demon technique and lifebound transformation of that race. Your lifebound transformation ability can be upgraded, and your sorcery casting level +1.]
[Task 2: Monster Evolution.
Task Content: A Demon Refiner not only practices sorcery but also masters the Transformation Technique. Though one can unlock corresponding forms by absorbing demon beast essences, one can usually only transform into ordinary beasts.
The reason lies in not understanding the method. To transform into a powerful demon beast, one must first understand the beast. Only by fully comprehending the source of the demon beast’s power can one freely transform.
If you have a profound enough understanding of demon beasts, you can upgrade beast transformations to demon beast transformations. To achieve this, you must complete the following:
1. Obtain the "Wild Beast Atlas: Demon Beast Chapter," and collect ten or more demon beast illustrations.
2. Tame a demon beast.
3. Learn at least three innate demon techniques from demon beasts.
Once you complete these three tasks, you can come to Canglin State to find me, and I will teach you the Demon Beast Evolution Technique.
Task Reward: Demon Refiner exclusive skill - Demon Beast Evolution. You can upgrade your beast transformations to demon beast transformations, granting your transformation abilities a reborn evolution.]
[Task 3: Master Demon Slayer.
Task Content: As a Demon Refiner, one must slay demons to collect enough demon inner cores, for demons are inherently evil, and Demon Refiners also bear the responsibility to slay demons.
Over thousands of years, I’ve traveled the world, slaying countless demons. In this process, I successfully forged a perfect martial art.
This inner strength technique is based on the Ten Thousand Demon Forms that I created. Humans have a tradition of learning from beasts to create cultivation techniques, and this technique is the supreme kung fu among them.
If you wish to learn this technique, I can teach you, but only if you prove your determination to slay demons.
Bring me the heads of three different Demon Kings, and I will teach you the divine skill.
Beast Demon King Head: 0/1.
Bird Demon King Head: 0/1.
Water Demon King Head: 0/1.
Task Reward: Supreme Divine Skill - Ten Thousand Forms Divine Skill. A supreme kung fu created based on the Ten Thousand Demon Forms, difficult for ordinary people to cultivate but exceptionally effective for Demon Refiners.]
After reading it, Xiao Jie was ecstatic. Damn, these task rewards are incredible.
Race transformation, exclusive skills, and supreme divine skills.
Dear God, this is quite tempting.
These three rewards are all exceptionally potent, incomparable to the task rewards of the Beast Tamer and Qi Refiner professions.
