Chapter 48
The Third Level of the Profound Realm: Searching for the Demonic Gu!
He rode away from Luoxia Mountain.
Seven days later, torrential rain poured down, and the Wei River flowed swiftly with turbulent waves.
In the middle reaches of the river, a small boat sways gently, a man swings an oar with his right arm, and holds a dark, abyss-like disc in his left hand.
This is a unique demon-hunting compass used exclusively in sacred sites.
However, the range is small, but it's enough to deal with first-tier monsters.
Although first-tier demons have gained intelligence, their IQ is very low, and they are still in the stage of being foolish demons.
After about half an hour, the Demon-Seeking Compass began to flicker with a faint light, but within three breaths, the light grew stronger and stronger.
suddenly.
Bang!
An unknown behemoth at the bottom of the river crashed into a large ship, shattering the deck and cabin. Gu Lin stepped onto the ship and rose up, opening all his acupoints.
The river water surged into the sky, forming a turbid waterfall. A terrifying human face appeared on the river surface, with huge eyes, a mouth the size of a boot, and black skin covered with dense wrinkles like a shriveled and moldy old walnut.
It's absolutely terrifying!
This is the human-faced giant crocodile, whose face is formed by the demon core inside its body.
The giant crocodile was two zhang long and three chi wide. With a sudden swipe of its tail, it smashed straight into Gu Lin's body with a force as heavy as a thousand jun. At the same time, it roared, and a foul, bloody, demonic aura enveloped the area like a fog.
If you are touched by its demonic aura, your movements will be slowed!
Gu Lin's brows opened and closed, his literary palace activated its righteous energy, and the six meridians in his hands opened simultaneously.
The giant crocodile with a human face was imprisoned by the drawing on the ground for only a moment, but the Six Meridians Divine Sword shot out invisible and colorless sword energy, piercing straight into six parts of the crocodile's head and abdomen.
"roar!"
The giant crocodile's face contorted in pain, reverting to its crocodile head form. Blood gushed from its body as it leaped out of the river at terrifying speed, charging up a powerful blow to strike the humans.
A dark mass surrounded Gu Lin, who used his maxed-out Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to easily dodge the giant crocodile's final, fatal blow.

boom!
The giant crocodile plunged into the river, its belly disintegrated, its entrails and intestines mixed with blood, staining the river surface red. A deep red demon core slowly sank to the bottom.
Gu Lin channeled his inner energy into his fingertips and grabbed the warm demon core.
Anyone who witnessed this scene would likely be shocked and speechless.
A mere first-level Cave Profound Realm cultivator, yet he effortlessly killed a giant crocodile with a demon core comparable to a third-level Cave Profound Realm cultivator. What terrifying combat power does that demonstrate?
Back on the riverbank, Gu Lin took out the booklet, tore off a page, and with a stroke of his pen like a snake, folded the letter and tied it to the leg of a colorful-winged pigeon.
The giant crocodile's carcass was handled by a knife-wielding craftsman from the East Temple, who lived within a hundred miles of the temple.
As for the demon core, it naturally belongs to me.
Demon cores cannot be used for cultivation, but they are top-grade materials for refining weapons and can be exchanged for spirit stones.
After finishing all this, Gu Lin saw specks of golden light in his mind, which slowly coalesced into the three large characters "Book of Merit".
[Defeat a Level 4 Evil Demon to receive a max-level Fangcun Thunder Shot]
[Martial Arts Merit Points: 2400/10000]
[Confucian and Taoist Merit Points: 359/1000]
[Merit Points in Taoist Arts: 0/1000]
[Witchcraft Merit Points: 0/1000]
In an instant, the acupoints in his body hummed, and the liquefied spiritual energy in his dantian gushed out two inches like a spring. His seven meridians and six channels felt as if they were wrapped in ten thousand years of ice. After a moment of coolness, his whole body felt comfortable.
Breakthrough to the third level of the Profound Realm!
"As expected of the task I carefully selected." Gu Lin smiled brightly.
This demon-slaying trip was extremely satisfying!
"Square Inch Thunder".
Gu Lin focused his energy into his dantian, and with unparalleled skill, circulated his internal energy through various acupoints, causing a faint lightning seed to appear in his palm.
It will explode if you hit it!
"Won't others think I have a naturally occurring lightning physique?" Gu Lin's smile deepened.
Only those with an innate Thunder Body can transform internal energy into Thunder Seeds!
"It's a million times better than staying in the Cleansing Pool!" Gu Lin exclaimed excitedly, urging his horse forward at full speed.
If this giant crocodile with a human face were actually a giant alligator with a human face, I could be promoted to corporal based on its corpse.
The giant crocodile with a human face is a king-rank demon!
Of course, I was still too greedy. Demons with royal bloodlines are hard to find and kill, otherwise those elites in their thirties in the Holy Land would still be low-level cavalry.
......
Seven days later, Gu Lin arrived at Wanzong Town, one of the border towns of Chuzhou and Jiangzhou.
Although it is far from reaching the scale of 10,000 sects, the town has hundreds of sects and gangs of all kinds.
Gu Lin went to Wanzong Auction House.
According to the case file, it was here that Shen Deyang, the Confucian scholar who was exterminated, was exposed.
The magnificent, towering six-story building is bustling with customers.
Gu Lin stepped inside and was stopped by an old man with graying temples.
The old man's voice was hoarse:
"One of the rules of Wan Zong Auction House is that you cannot disguise yourself."
Gu Lin stared at him for a long time, and a corner of the token slipped off his wide robe sleeve.
The moment the old man saw the gilded waist tag, his straight back bent.
Gu Lin coldly said:
"Can I disguise myself now?"
The old man felt a chill run down his spine and said respectfully:
"Sir, please."
Judging from the corner of the waist tag, it should be the Dongsi Xiezhi.
The old man followed closely, wanting to properly entertain Venerable Dongji.
Gu Lin waved goodbye and wandered around the auction house alone.
Because he couldn't disguise himself, Shen Deyang's whereabouts were exposed.
The auction house had martial arts techniques and weapons, but Gu Lin didn't even care about the Holy Land's treasure pavilion, let alone take a second look at the items in the auction house.
However, when he got to the sixth floor, he was attracted by some small insects.
Inside the crystal-clear display case were various insects the size of fingernails, some glowing green with dozens of tiny antennae, and others with five small wings.
The counter has detailed information.
"By turning the wine gu, the gu worm is placed in the wine. After half an hour, the wine contains spiritual essence, and consuming it can increase the speed of cultivation."
"After refining the Copper Skin Gu, one's body will become as strong as a copper wall and iron wall, indestructible."
"The first transformation of the Extreme Vision Gu, after refining this Gu, grants vision far surpassing that of ordinary people, allowing one to clearly see the veins of leaves a mile away, and the ability to peer through walls."
"After refining the Golden Spear Gu, one will achieve perfect harmony in bed, and one's golden spear will never falter, allowing one to easily seduce several men at night."
Gu Lin immediately became interested and kept examining the Golden Spear Gu.
One hundred and thirty low-grade spirit stones.
He looked again.
"The Demon-Seeking Gu can locate lurking demonic energy within a ten-mile radius."
One hundred and five low-grade spirit stones.
Gu Lin stopped in his tracks, unable to look away.
What I need most is to find the Demon-Slaying Gu!
Compared to the Demon-Seeking Plate, the Demon-Seeking Gu has a much wider range!
Of course, those who are not first-level Gu practitioners cannot use first-level Gu worms, and even if they buy them, they cannot use them.
But sooner or later we will have to open up the path of witchcraft and sorcery. In the future, we can use the method of finding demons and sorcery to find demons and reap merits. Wouldn't that be much more convenient?
Seeing Gu Lin stop, a young woman in a light purple dress slowly approached and asked with a smile:
"Are you interested?"
Gu Lin nodded:
"Take down the Demon-Seeking Gu."
After saying that, he took out his monthly salary from his sleeve.
Twelve mid-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones.
He didn't need spirit stones to aid his cultivation, so he was quite satisfied to have been able to buy the Demon-Seeking Gu.
If there's still some money left, the Golden Spear Gu is also a good option.
The woman opened the bag and immediately sent someone to make arrangements.
First, he handed Gu Lin fifteen low-grade spirit stones.
Then, he took the gallbladder-shaped container that was hanging down and carefully put the demon-finding gu inside.
After Gu Lin put the items away, he headed to the Martial Arts Pavilion.
When we return to the East Temple, we will temporarily place the Demon-Seeking Gu in the yamen. When the path of witchcraft and sorcery is opened, we will be able to refine this Gu and put it to use.
