Chapter 441: 192 to 94 Chapters I can also give (Thanks to "Listening to Autumn Yellow" Alliance Hierarch for the reward Three-in-one Chapter)_3

Then what about two, three, or even ten? Ten Yuanyang Auction Houses. With sufficient silver taels, they could bring in seven to eight thousand Slaughter Value in just half a year. With such a Slaughter Value, he felt that he wouldn’t need to strive at all. He just needed to stay calm and collect himself, then integrate Martial Arts and auction them; that would be enough. Even if he were to strive, whether he could accumulate a thousand Slaughter Value in half a year’s time was still a question.

However, Shen Changqing also knew this idea wasn’t very reliable. The simplest reason was that in the Jianghu, there wouldn’t be so many Demon Evil for him to purchase. The ones who could capture Demon Evil were few to begin with, and besides, it was extremely dangerous. Therefore, one Yuanyang Auction House could gather seven hundred Slaughter Value in half a year. Ten Yuanyang Auction Houses working together might not collect much more than seven hundred. On the contrary, the Demon-Subduing Prison was the real significant source.

Shen Changqing realized that once the Demon-Subduing Prison was established, it would be the foundation for his rapid increase in strength. Compared to those people in Jianghu, the people from the Demon-Subduing Division were the experts at dealing with Demon Evil. Slaying Demon Evil, or even capturing them, wouldn’t pose any problem. Items like those used for besieging Demon Evil were also available in abundance at the Demon-Subduing Division, and they had more than enough. Although he hadn’t used them himself, Shen Changqing was very clear about this. And the source of these items was from the Hidden Heart Pavilion. It could be said that the existence of the Hidden Heart Pavilion was like a sustainable and developing foundation for the Demon-Subduing Division. Any strange and wondrous item could potentially be researched and developed there.

「Outside the Scripture Pavilion.」

A piece of land had already been cordoned off. Some people were busily digging into the ground, while others were supervising.

Jiang An looked at those people, turned to the person beside him, and said, "Brother Shen, this location is indeed suitable for building the Demon-Subduing Prison. If the Demon-Subduing Prison is built underground, it will not only block the Yin Evil Aura from leaking out easily but also prevent others from breaking into it."

While speaking, Jiang An paused, then continued, "As long as we use some materials as fortified walls when building the Demon-Subduing Prison, we can prevent anyone from sneaking in from underground."

"What materials would be suitable?"

"Diqing Stone."

"Diqing Stone?"

Shen Changqing looked puzzled, as the name was unfamiliar to him.

Jiang An explained, "Diqing Stone is a type of rock that forms deep underground. It’s extraordinarily hard and extremely difficult to cut or shape, so few people use Diqing Stone to make weapons. However, it is used as a construction material for certain buildings. For instance, both the Demon-Subduing Prison and Demon Sealing Tower of the Capital Demon Suppression Division have Diqing Stone mixed into them. Of course, the construction materials for those two places involve more than just Diqing Stone. However, if Brother Shen isn’t imprisoning Demon Evil here, then simple Diqing Stone would suffice."

Upon hearing this explanation, Shen Changqing finally understood what Diqing Stone truly was.

At this moment, Jiang An continued, "Diqing Stone is so hard that even Martial Artists of the Innate Realm would find it extremely difficult to break with their True Qi. Only an expert at the Grandmaster Realm could manage it. Furthermore, any attack would surely cause a great commotion. Even if it happened underground, the noise would be deafening, making it impossible to remain undetected."

Thus, it would prevent Grandmasters from sneaking into the Demon-Subduing Prison unnoticed.

"Furthermore," Jiang An said with a smile, "if we use thicker Diqing Stone for the walls, even if a Grandmaster attacked, it would be impossible for them to break in within a short time."

Shen Changqing nodded slightly. He was truly unaware of these matters. Only people from the Suppressing Evil Hall understood how to construct the Demon-Subduing Prison.

"Brother Jiang, in your opinion, how long would it take to successfully build the Demon-Subduing Prison?"

"Diqing Stone isn’t readily available on the market; it usually needs to be excavated on-site, which will take a significant amount of time. Then, we’ll need Grandmasters to help cut it, which also consumes considerable time. Additionally, runes must be engraved to prevent the Yin Evil Aura from leaking out and to serve as a seal against Demon Evil. I’ve calculated that it will take at least three to six months."

Three to six months.

Shen Changqing considered the timeline, and it was acceptable to him.

After all, in the coming months, the main task was to completely eradicate the Demon Evil in South Nether Prefecture. Only after all existing Demon Evil were cleared out could he attend to other matters. As for later on, after the Demon-Subduing Prison was constructed and some time had passed, new Demon Evil would reappear in South Nether Prefecture. Those Demon Evil seemed inexhaustible. Therefore, he wasn’t worried that the Demon Evil would be completely eradicated by the Demon-Subduing Division.

Shen Changqing inquired, "By the way, the Demon Evil Clan’s methods of concealment are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Have the Suppressing Evil Hall and the Demon Sealing Hall found any way to counter them?"

He was thinking about the issue of the Demon Evils’ increasingly elusive movements. If this problem could be solved, finding Demon Evil would become much easier in the future.

"The matter Brother Shen mentioned is something we are also diligently researching. For now, however, there hasn’t been any significant progress." Jiang An shook his head, but then his tone shifted, "However, I believe it won’t be long before there are results." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Oh?"

Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow.

Jiang An glanced around, then lowered his voice and said, "Inside the Imperial Palace, there is an artifact called the Demon Detecting Instrument. It’s a treasure that was once in the possession of the now-fallen Shangqing Palace."
