Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"Everyone, the ancestors won’t stop us from avenging Qin Wu, but we mustn’t use Qin Wu’s murder as an excuse. Understand?"

The ancestors of the royal family only stopped them from killing Wei Fan because they feared the Demon Hunter Organization, not out of any sense of reason.

"Then let’s first pass the message to the Desert Martial Alliance. Perhaps we won’t have to make a move ourselves!"

A group of Royal Martial Venerables departed!

...

Two figures cut through the void!

When Wei Fan initially planned to leave the Great Victory Dynasty and passed by Liangzhou, he casually destroyed Moonlight Hall, but by the time he and Li Yunfei passed through Liangzhou, the disciples of Moonlight Hall had already fled!

With things mostly resolved, he proceeded with Li Yunfei to the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall without distractions.

According to Li Yunfei’s introduction, there are two Demon Hunter Sub-Halls in the Wilderness, and the nearest one to the Great Victory Dynasty is in the Daqian Kingdom!

Between the Daqian Kingdom and the Great Victory Dynasty lies the Wei Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom.

Both the Wei Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom have regions larger than the Great Victory Dynasty. Thus, even at the speed of Martial Venerables, flying at full speed would take three to five days to reach Daqian.

Not in a rush, the two did not fly at full speed, moving slowly, and only reached the lands of the Daqian Kingdom after eight days.

After another period of flight, Wei Fan followed Li Yunfei and landed in a place called Nanchuan City in Daqian Kingdom!

Contrary to his expectations, the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall is not located deep in the mountains but is situated within a bustling city.

Moreover, it appears to be a somewhat rundown little tavern, with only a few guests inside and flies and mosquitoes buzzing everywhere.

"Don’t be doubtful, this is indeed the Demon Hunter Sub-Hall. Did you expect it to be surrounded by a grand array and filled with vigor?"

If it were built like that, it would constantly be under attack from Demon Fiends. Daqian Kingdom is not like the Great Victory Dynasty; the Demon Fiends here are far stronger."

Li Yunfei’s mind communication sounded, and he led Wei Fan into the tavern.

Wei Fan nodded; he indeed felt this along the way.

The further from the Great Victory Dynasty, the denser the Power of Heaven and Earth, making cultivation easier.

"Young Master Li, please come upstairs!"

As the two entered, a tavern waiter hurriedly approached to greet them and led them upstairs.

Upstairs were private rooms, but there was hardly anyone there.

Li Yunfei again communicated with Wei Fan: "His name is Zhang Qing, one of our own, and that shopkeeper is also one of ours."

Zhang Qing led the two upstairs and opened a room. Li Yunfei took the lead and entered.

Bang!

Zhang Qing did not follow them in and instead shut the door from outside.

"There’s a secret compartment here, and it can only be opened with your inspector token!"

Li Yunfei took out his token, lifted a painting on the wall, revealing a secret compartment, and inserted his waist token.

In the next moment, the waist token emitted a faint glow, and a secret passage appeared, just large enough for two people to pass through, leading to a bottomless abyss below.

"Let’s go; the real sub-hall is below!"

Retrieving his token, Li Yunfei took the lead and jumped down!

"In reality, there are not many people in this sub-hall; apart from us inspectors occasionally coming here to exchange points for martial arts and resources, there aren’t any others..."

As they descended, Li Yunfei introduced the place to Wei Fan.

This sub-hall is constructed around several hundred meters underground. After descending for a while, they reached a tunnel emanating mysterious waves.

Li Yunfei again took out his token, releasing a light that enveloped himself and Wei Fan.

"Your waist token has not yet been activated here; I will lead you in for now. Remember to activate your token to indicate your identity when passing through here in the future, or you’ll be subject to attack!"

After exiting the passageway, a vast underground world appeared before Wei Fan’s eyes.

Countless demon pills hung above like stars, emitting a gentle glow to illuminate the area. Wei Fan scanned the surroundings and noticed quite a few buildings, although there were no people visible.

Not far away was an open hall, and Li Yunfei led him straight inside.

An old man sat inside the hall, and Li Yunfei respectfully approached: "Li Yunfei greets Hall Master Gongyang!"

Wei Fan followed suit and saluted.

This person was Elder Gongyang, the hall master of the Daqian Kingdom’s Demon Hunter Sub-Palace!

Li Yunfei did not introduce his cultivation nor background; he just seemed like an ordinary old man.

But as they got closer, Wei Fan, despite not releasing his Heart Spirit to perceive, felt his silver Primordial Spirit transmit a sensation akin to facing an abyss.

"He is Wei Fan, the inspector of the Great Victory Dynasty. I ask the hall master to assist him with the subsequent procedures!"

Elder Gongyang carefully examined Wei Fan; his eyes grew brighter: "Excellent, a genius among geniuses. In all these years, there hasn’t been anyone like you in the Demon Hunter community. Hand me your token!"

"Greetings, Hall Master!"

Wei Fan stepped forward and handed over his inspector waist token.

Elder Gongyang took it and turned to open a door in the wall behind him, then returned after a while and gave the waist token back to Wei Fan: "Your aura has been recorded, and you can freely enter and exit here from now on!"

Wei Fan took the token and carefully stored it, then took out the previous golden waist token.

"Hall Master, I’d like to exchange for some martial arts!"

The waist token was densely covered with light spots, each representing a Demon Fiend, including Demon Monarchs and Demon Venerables.

Elder Gongyang took the token: "See for yourself what you want to exchange; your meritorious exploits are sufficient to exchange for four Martial Venerable level martial arts or one Martial King level martial art!"

Wei Fan shook his head: "I have other merits as well. Zhang Juzheng, Garrison Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau in the Great Victory Dynasty, was ineffective against demons, and for power and profit, he conspired with the Prime Minister to suppress frontline generals, resulting in the death and injury of tens of thousands of civilians. A few days ago, I executed these scoundrels. For this, the royal family of the Great Victory Dynasty dispatched seven or eight Martial Venerables intending to assassinate me. This merit should be counted in as well."

The merits recorded in the waist token were only for his demon-slaying achievements. The matter of cleaning up the likes of Zhang Juzheng, human scum, could not be recorded in the token. Such deeds must be reported.

Li Yunfei nodded: "What Wei Fan says is true!"

Elder Gongyang’s eyes flashed with an astonishing light: "They dare to ambush an inspector?"

Li Yunfei nodded: "They intended to act but were rebuked by me!"

Elder Gongyang snorted coldly: "The Qin Family is courting death; I will chastise them on this matter!"

Besides force, the Demon Hunter Organization has other means to balance power with various nations. They exchange martial arts and resources with major dynasties, and annually provide royal families of these dynasties with some resources.

Ultimately, he granted Wei Fan an additional exchange quota for two Martial Venerable level martial arts, then took out a small booklet for Wei Fan to choose what martial arts to exchange.

Wei Fan also knew Elder Gongyang wasn’t Huo Tianzheng, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask Elder Gongyang for recommendations.

He took the booklet, found a place to sit, and began to browse through it slowly.

Compared to Su City, there are quite a few Martial Venerable level martial arts here, but actually not many, only about thirty.

The majority are martial techniques, and the cultivation martial arts account for less than a third.

The further one progresses in the Martial Dao, the fewer martial arts options become. The availability of more than thirty is actually a lot.

Consider the Divine Sword Sect, existing for eighteen hundred years, collecting only three Martial Venerable level martial arts.

Wei Fan had slain many Martial Venerables, but had never obtained a Martial Venerable level martial art from anyone’s Storage Gourd.

Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Skill!

Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual!

Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger!

...

Wei Fan saw many familiar names, all with introductions following them.

Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Skill and Purple Profound Martial Arts Manual are both Martial King level martial arts, passed down to the Martial King level.

As for Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger, it reaches the end at the Martial Venerable Realm with no Martial King Realm cultivation technique.

Wei Fan meticulously skimmed through everything, deciding what to choose.

"Great Sun Shattering Fist - Martial Venerable Chapter!"

Wei Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up; they unexpectedly had the Martial Venerable Chapter of Great Sun Shattering Fist here.

According to the introduction, Great Sun Shattering Fist is also a Martial King level martial art, but even the Demon Hunter Organization hasn’t collected the content of the Martial King Chapter.

"If I want to obtain the Purple Profound Martial Scripture - Martial King Chapter first, then I can only exchange for two Martial Venerable level martial arts!"

Obtaining cultivation martial arts should be prioritized for exchange.

No one knows the power of Great Sun Shattering Fist better than he does; it’s truly a powerful fist technique. Among the thirty-plus Martial Venerable level martial arts, few surpass Great Sun Shattering Fist. Crucially, he has been cultivating this martial art since the Acupoint Realm, enabling him to unleash greater power.

Starting late, such midway cultivation would not match the potential of Great Sun Shattering Fist nurtured from the outset.

Lastly, Wei Fan looked toward a palm technique called Nanming Li Fire Palm, also a Martial King level martial art, crucially with subsequent cultivation techniques available here.

Having chosen his martial arts, Wei Fan walked towards Elder Gongyang!
