Return Of The Demon 71 Recovery

During this time he was fed even more precious medicines. All of this caused his healing to speed up even more. By now he had completely recovered from all of his damages. Not only that due to the secret technique he had employed, but his body and cultivation had also become a little bit st.u.r.dier and firmer.

The secret technique was based on the idea of growth after breaking. Thus it had parts that allowed growth even while recovering from critical damage. If it wasn't for the fact that it was quite slow compared to just directly recovering, and also the dangers a.s.sociated with breaking your own body, this could have even been a mainstream technique. He was also able to mend his own body to make it more similar to the seamless body he was born with in his past life. Even though it was still nowhere close to his old body, it was still much closer to the dao than his current body. All in all his talent had effectively doubled.

Bai Yun slowly got up from his bed and stretched. He had spent the last two weeks only recovering, and that had stiffened up his body a little bit. He needed to exercise a little bit.

Bai Yun went for a run around the mansion. He had calmed his mother down quite a lot. She had relented that her earlier stance of not letting Bai Yun leave the house for the rest of his life was indeed too much. But she was still apprehensive about letting him run free. She was asking him to stay at home and follow the alchemy path for the foreseeable future. Especially considering the monstrous talent that he had shown by creating a pill without any teacher so quickly she decided that the best thing for him would be to be an alchemist.

But Bai Yun currently had a plan. He needed to win first place in the clan meeting which was only a few months away. He had to reach the peak of qi condensation realm by then. But his mother was absolutely not going to let him run around looking for chances to breakthrough. So whatever move he makes, it would have to be hidden from her, at least for a short while.

Bai Yun thought very carefully for a while. He needed a new avenue to make money. Once he had enough money, he could easily reach the peak of qi condensation. Due to the secret technique he had employed while recovering from his injuries, he would be able to make quite a few breakthroughs without destabilizing his foundation. And due to his G.o.d sense controlling the qi inside him, as long as he had enough qi he would be able to breakthrough.

By now the sun had set. Bai Yun stopped running and stood there watching the stars in the sky. Suddenly he noticed something. Then an evil grin appeared in his eyes as an idea came to him.

Bai Yun then went back to his room and got into bed. He calmly laid down and closed his eyes and his breathing fell into a stable rhythm.

A couple of hours pa.s.sed by. Soon it was midnight. Suddenly Bai Yun opened his eyes and then quickly sat up. Finally, that consciousness that was keeping tabs on him had gone. His mother had thought that she was being sneaky, but Bai Yun's G.o.d sense had long since caught her keeping tabs on him.

Bai Yun then crept to the window in his room. He had left the window open in the morning, before he went to sleep. He then looked down. He was currently quite high up. If he tried to jump down, the noise will certainly alert his mother.

So Bai Yun slowly climbed out of the window and stood on the wall. Anyone who could see him now would certainly be surprised. Bai Yun was currently standing on the vertical wall of the mansion as if it was horizontal ground. He then started to walk downward, toward the ground.

This was a skill called wall walking. It was a skill included within the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.d's legacy. When you have to sneak in to kill someone, you cannot make any noise, and many of the traditional ways of entering and exiting will not be available. Thus this technique was created by him.

Once Bai Yun landed on the ground, he turned and gave a wave towards his parent's room. Then he quickly went into a run. Bai Yun still had not mastered soundless motion of the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.d's so he did not dare to use his movement technique.

Bai Yun quickly left the clan. Then he took out a piece of paper. Following it , he soon found himself walking deeper and deeper into the darker parts of yellow city. On the way, Bai Yun stopped at a store and bought a large robe with a hood that completely covered him up. He then changed his appearance and quickly slipped into the shadows. No one noticed him as he slipped in and out of the shadows and moved faster and faster.

Soon Bai Yun reached a small roadside pub. There was no one around in this part of the city, but the pub was still open even now. Bai Yun looked up at the sky at the moon, and then he opened the door of the pub and went inside.

The inside of the pub was well furnished and well lit. But it empty at this time of the night. The only person in the pub was the bartender. He was standing behind the bar cleaning it.

Bai Yun slowly walked towards him and stood in front of him. The bartender did not look up from his job. "I came for a job." Bai Yun said while pus.h.i.+ng a single gold coin forward.

The bartender continued to do what he was doing and did not even look up from the bar. "We don't have any jobs to give."

Bai Yun grinned. He knew that he was in the right place. "Not that kind of job." Bai Yun replied. As he did so, he leaked a little bit of his killing intent out. The next moment the bartender felt the whole world tremble in red due to the killing intent. For the first time since the beginning, the bartender finally had a difference in expression. He froze while cleaning and looked up at Bi Yun.

The killing intent that Bai Yun had just emitted was truly too strong. The bartender had met many people before, but it was the first time he had met someone who was so weak but had had a tangible killing intent.

He looked up at Bai Yun only to see a smiling face behind the cloak, but only up to his lips could be seen. It did not surprise the bartender that Bai Yun was covered up, many people who came to his establishment was like that.

The bartender did not say anything and simply pressed a b.u.t.ton behind the counter. Suddenly a wall at the side of the shop fell back to reveal a corridor leading downwards.

Bai Yun did not say another word and went down the stairs. The stairs kept on going for quite a while and Bai Yun soon found himself standing in front of a door. Opening the door he entered a bar. The bartender that he met before was once again standing in front of the bar, but he was staring straight at Bai Yun instead of cleaning anything. But unlike the person above, this one gave Bai Yun a feeling of danger. After all the one above was only a clone. This was the true bartender.

This bar was almost identical to the one above, except that this one was cleaner. Also, the walls of the bar were covered in listings. Each of these listings was a job request. For an a.s.sa.s.sination.

That's right. This was the place where the external or outer section a.s.sa.s.sins of blood moon came to collect their jobs, and then the rewards once it has been completed. All the actions he had made earlier, including the gold coin, the chatting, and the killing intent was all part of the verifying procedure to enter this place.

Bai Yun knew that he would have to find a way to make quick money. And the avenue he had ended up choosing was the blood moon. Thanks to the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.d's legacy he could easily claim to be among the best a.s.sa.s.sins in the entire universe at his cultivation stage. The a.s.sa.s.sination requests that were given here would be easy for him. And the rewards would be more than enough to help him breakthrough. After all, due to the high turnover rate and risks that come with the job, the rewards for a.s.sa.s.sination are quite impressive.

And as for how he knew of the hangout place of blood moon, it was all thanks to Bai Ling-er. Bai Yun had to acknowledge that she truly had terrifying talent in information gathering. She had antic.i.p.ated that Bai Yun might be interested in blood moon and had found out one of blood moons locations as well as the code for entry. And the fact that she could find this all out without dying was incredibly impressive.

Bai Yun entered the bar and walked straight up to the bartender and sat down in front of him. Since this was his first time visiting one of blood moons establishments, he would have to take a test to check his qualifications. After all, if they were to simply hand out missions without finding out anything about the people that came, it would only end up as an embarra.s.sment for them.

"Are you sure you want to play a.s.sa.s.sin young master?" The bartender asked.

Bai Yun was stunned by the question. He had changed his appearance to that of an average person. He was certain that the bartender was not at the dao step and could not see through his skill. Then why did he call him a young master? Bai Yun was confused.

Seeing that Bai Yun was confused, the bartender simply chuckled an did not explain anything. He then took out a small red card.

"I like you." The bartender said. " The killing intent you gave out earlier was the real deal. So I am gonna make a slight adjustment to the usual test. I'll give you an actual mission and if you can complete it within four days, I will consider that you have pa.s.sed the test. If you can complete it within two days, I'll even give you the reward for the mission. This is unusual as until you have pa.s.sed the test you won't be an official external member of blood moon. So technically you are just doing this mission for fun. What do you think?"

Bai Yun didn't even have to think. He just nodded.

"Oh. And don't think that you can rely on the force behind you." The bartender said ."I'll be watching this closely. I want to make sure you do this by yourself."

Bai Yun simply reached for the card without a word. Just as he grabbed the card from the bartender, he paused. He finally noticed the only other part of his body other than his face that was visible to the world.

His perfectly manicured hands.
