I Can Devour Spirits

Duan Rong found a suitable weapon, feeling quite exhilarated.

He came out of the weapon shop and went straight into a clothing store, picking out a set of clothes for himself.

As the saying goes, ”Clothes make the man, just like a saddle makes the horse.” Since he was going to enter the Taiyi Sect this time and didn’t know what kind of situation might arise, choosing a decent outfit for himself wasn’t a bad idea.

In the clothing store, Duan Rong looked at himself in the copper mirror, dressed in trimmed ornate robes, exuding a somewhat noble aura.

Duan Rong nodded in satisfaction and pointed at the clothes he had just taken off beside him, saying, ”Boss, please take care of these old clothes for me.”

Duan Rong paid the silver coins and walked out in style, dressed in fine robes and carrying the Minghong Saber, truly looking quite the gentleman!

Having finished these errands, Duan Rong returned to Liu’s House and tried out the saber in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, while Duan Rong was trying on clothes at the clothing store, the hour for the government office’s roll call had already passed.

Forensic Doctor Liu Kui walked into the Arresting Officer’s Room and placed the autopsy report he had written overnight on Zhu Guibao’s desk.

Zhu Guibao, with his legs crossed, sipping tea, glanced at the rather thick report and laughed, ”Kui, you’re amazing! You finished this overnight!”

Liu Kui glared at Zhu Guibao and said, ”Jie Daohan was killed in your district, such a big case? And you’re acting like nothing happened, sipping tea here every day?!”

Zhu Guibao’s face stiffened, ”I do want to investigate, but there needs to be clues! It’s like finding a needle in a haystack. We can’t just close all the city gates, right? Besides, the old County Magistrate has been promoted, and the new one hasn’t arrived yet. Even if I wanted to seal the city, I’d need the authority, wouldn’t I?”

Liu Kui scoffed, ”If you sit in the Arresting Officer’s Room drinking tea every day, do you think the clues will just fall from the sky?”

Zhu Guibao replied, ”Kui, haven’t you noticed there isn’t even a steward in the government office? Jie Daohan is dead, the old magistrate has left, and people’s hearts are scattered. My sitting here every day is already quite good. Look, the hour for roll call is already past, and Yang Zhen hasn’t shown up yet. This guy was so diligent before; wasn’t he always here on time? Now, look, it’s this late and there’s not a soul in sight.”

Liu Kui glanced at Yang Zhen’s seat; indeed, the roll call hour had already passed, and Yang Zhen still hadn’t shown up. This wasn’t like him!

Duan Rong returned to Liu’s House courtyard, immediately drawing the Minghong Saber and practicing the Five Tigers and Sheep Saber technique.

The Great Perfection Realm, along with a very handy weapon!

As Duan Rong practiced, it truly felt like an enjoyment!

The warm spring sun shone on Duan Rong, and suddenly he entered a state of Great Void Clarity once again.

When Duan Rong broke through the Great Perfection Realm, he once entered this state, but he could never comprehend what this state of Great Void Clarity truly was!

Because, Duan Rong realized that once he had a conscious thought, he would immediately exit this state of Great Void Clarity.

In other words, in this state of Great Void Clarity, he couldn’t fight with others, because as soon as he had a thought, the state of Great Void Clarity would dissipate.

However, through his exploration during this period, Duan Rong understood that once he was in the state of Great Void Clarity, his Martial Arts would immediately advance to the next Realm.

For example, now, Duan Rong directly stepped into the True Qi Realm!

The artifact spirit of Jie Daohan’s Barrier Saber, which he had devoured and absorbed, coupled with the method of operating the True Qi of the Withered and Flourishing Wisdom Saber, instantly started to operate within him.

A thread of dense True Qi instantly condensed amidst the surge of Inner Breath!

”So True Qi is refined from within the Inner Breath!”

Duan Rong’s eyes flickered, but as this thought popped up, his state of Great Void Clarity collapsed, and the thread of True Qi that had condensed also dissipated within the Dantian.

At this moment, there was a knock at the courtyard door!
