Xuan Xiaowei and her team reported their mission in the main hall of Jing Yue Sect.
The elders and several high-ranking elders sat in high positions, their expressions serious but filled with anticipation. The hall was filled with an ancient and sacred atmosphere, and the portraits of the ancestors hanging on the walls seemed to silently watch over everything.
Xuan Xiaowei began reporting: "Elder, we encountered the blood moon ghost lady in the Cangqiong Village. She attempted to control the entire village using the power of the blood moon. Through investigation and a series of battles, we finally discovered her weakness."
Shen Xiaozi added, "Yes, Elder. We found that only on the night of the blood moon does her power reach its peak. So we took advantage of this and devised a plan to confront her in the final battle on the night of the blood moon."
Bai Cang displayed the demon pill obtained from blood moon ghost lady: "Elder, this is the demon pill of blood moon ghost lady. Based on her power and the characteristics of the demon pill, we deduce that she is a demon of the third rank under the charm category."
The elder carefully observed the demon pill and nodded: "Your judgment is correct. This is indeed the demon pill of a demon of the third rank under the charm category. The fact that you can handle such a threat with your own power shows that you already have considerable strength."
Looking around the grand hall, the voice of the elder reverberated in every corner: "Xuan Xiaowei, Bai Cang, Shen Xiaozi, and Xiao mei, your actions this time not only demonstrated courage and wisdom, but also embodied the responsibility and commitment that disciples of the Jing Yue Sect should have. I am proud of you."
Xuan Xiaowei lowered her head: "Elder, you are too kind. We still have many shortcomings."
Elder smiled, "Inadequacy is the driving force for growth. As long as you maintain this humility and a thirst for knowledge, the path ahead will surely widen."
Shen Xiaozi couldn't help but ask, "Elder, what should we do next? We all hope to become stronger."
Elder Shen pondered for a moment, his deep gaze seeming to penetrate through time and space: "On the path of growth, challenges always come with opportunities. I will arrange more tasks for you to hone your skills in actual combat, while also not forgetting to cultivate your character. Having strong power is good, but cultivating your character is the fundamental practice."
The voice of Xuan Xiaowei carried a hint of anticipation: "Elder, I would like to understand the specific requirements for advancing from a Fourth-rank Golden Pellet Hunter to a fifth-rank Golden Pellet Hunter. What challenges do we need to complete?"
The elder spoke slowly, with a calm yet authoritative tone: "The key to promotion lies in whether you can independently or in small groups defeat higher-level demons. For you, it means defeating more than ten triple-charm junior-level demons individually, or cooperating to defeat thirty of them as a team."
Upon hearing this information, Xuan Xiaowei couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment, but the elder added, "However, considering your performance in the Cuiying Trials and the achievements of this mission, you have already proven your strength. If you can defeat two more triple-charm junior-level demons, I believe promotion is only a matter of time."
Shen Xiaozi suddenly interjected with a hint of challenge in her tone, "Elder, this standard seems unfair to us. In the Cuiying Trials, we have faced the test of life and death more than once, and even witnessed the threat of the fourfold demons."
The elder smiled faintly, his gaze piercing as he looked at Shen Xiaozi, and responded, " Shen Xiaozi, I know your courage and strength in the Cuiying Trials. But the breakthrough of the third-level corpse demon was because you devoured the demon pill and used the blood of Xuan Xiaowei's goddess. As for the fourfold demon, it was defeated by the combined efforts of XuanYuan ZhanYue and Liu Xinling. Although your efforts are not to be ignored, the promotion requirements are to ensure that every hunter can independently face the threat."
Shen Xiaozi seemed somewhat speechless after listening, but a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she had made a new decision in her heart.
Xuan Xiaowei gently patted Shen Xiaozi's shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Shen Xiaozi, we have already overcome so many challenges, and the road ahead is still long. As long as we don't give up, we will eventually reach our goals."
The elder nodded in approval and said, "That's right. The path of cultivation is long and difficult, but as long as you hold onto your faith and move forward bravely, one day you will surpass yourselves and reach new heights."
After that, the elder took out some elixirs and ancient texts and handed them to them, saying, "These are the materials for your future practice and supplementary elixirs. I hope they will help you go further on your future path."
Xuan Xiaowei and the team members thanked in unison, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future and a desire for challenges. They knew that only by constantly challenging themselves could they reach new heights on the path of cultivation.
Late at night, Xuan Xiaowei and Shen Xiaozi sat in the courtyard of the Pure Moon Sect, surrounded by the tranquil night and the gentle sound of the wind.
Xuan Xiaowei gently opened her palm, revealing the faintly glowing demon pill. Her eyes were firm and profound, as if she could see through the story behind the demon pill.
"Shen Xiaozi, this demon pill is the best way for you to enhance your abilities," Xuan Xiaowei said slowly, her voice carrying an indescribable gentleness and determination.
Shen Xiaozi shook her head, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "Xiaowei, you have already helped me so much. I... I can't accept something so precious."
Xuan Xiaowei smiled, her smile carrying an irresistible determination: "Do you remember when I said that we are a team, a family? Among family, there are no debts. This demon pill can make your sword stronger, and for us, that is the most important thing."
Shen Xiaozi fell silent for a moment, then ultimately nodded to accept the demon pill. She understood Xuan Xiaowei's intentions and the significance for the entire team.
In the next few days, with the help of Xuan Xiaowei, Shen Xiaozi began the fusion ritual of the demon elixir.
The ritual took place on a quiet night, with the Scarlet Sky Sword silently suspended in the air, surrounded by intricate runes. Shen Xiaozi placed the demon elixir at the center of the runes and began chanting softly.
As the incantation progressed, the demon pill slowly melted and turned into a red light that infused into the Azure Moon Sword. A sharp blade suddenly appeared on the previously smooth surface of the Azure Moon Sword, shimmering with a frightening light, as if it could cut through all evil.
Xuan Xiaowei and Shen Xiaozi witnessed all of this, and they knew that this sword was no longer an ordinary sword, but a true demon-slaying sword.
