Human Clan Defender-Chapter 538 -s 273-274 Cultivation Technique (Two in One - - Request for Monthly Pass)_3

He had also realized this, which was why he had diverted the resources of South Sea City. Yun Venerable, for his part, would not refuse this. After nearly exhausting the resources of South Sea City, a significant portion of Shen Changqing’s own depletions had also been replenished.

Of course, to say he could fully replenish himself was impossible. Whether it was replenishing his Divine Soul or his vitality, it was not that easy to fully restore them. At his level, every bit of loss was difficult to measure. Only at the headquarters of the Capital Demon Suppression Division would there be enough resources for him to fully recover. At other branches, the stored resources could only recover a portion of his reserves, which was already a difficult feat.

After recovering some of his spent reserves, Shen Changqing first made a trip to Baiyue City.

Now, much like in the South Sea City jurisdiction, although the Baiyue City Demon-Subduing Division had only recently been rebuilt, they were also fully committed to eliminating Demon Evil. The last time the Heaven Alliance breached Baiyue City, the Demon-Subduing Division had indeed been annihilated by their hands, and its Dominator, Yuan Ji, had fallen. However, the other Demon Hunters had not suffered many casualties. When Baiyue City fell, many of the Demon Hunters who had remained there fled immediately. Moreover, some Demon Hunters who had frequently been on missions outside the city had also managed to escape.

Now that the Baiyue City Demon-Subduing Division was rebuilt, Xiang Yuan and Fu Lan issued an edict. The Demon Hunters who had previously belonged to the Baiyue City Demon-Subduing Division naturally responded to the call and returned to Baiyue City. No one dared to refuse.

When Shen Changqing arrived in Baiyue City, there were still some red dots on the Star Plate’s projection, though not many.

"Defender Xiang, is there any word from the Capital City? Are they planning to send a King Rank Defender Envoy, or something else?" Withdrawing his gaze from the Star Plate’s projection, he looked at Xiang Yuan. Then, his gaze shifted to Fu Lan.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuan said somberly, "We have already informed the Capital City, but unfortunately, they have yet to respond. In my opinion, the likelihood of the Capital City dispatching another King Rank Defender Envoy is not high. Over the years, the emergence of King Rank Defender Envoys has always been extremely difficult. To this day, I haven’t heard of any new King Rank Defender Envoys appearing in recent years."

It was not easy to become a King Rank Defender Envoy. Otherwise, Great Qin would only have a mere few dozen King Rank Defender Envoys. And that was the result of decades of accumulation.

Shen Changqing looked at Xiang Yuan and said indifferently, "Let me ask you, how exactly do Defender Envoys enhance their strength? Is it purely by absorbing nature’s spiritual energy?"

"Yes, and no." Xiang Yuan gave an answer that wasn’t truly an answer.

At this, Shen Changqing’s brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Speak plainly, Defender Xiang."

Noticing the other’s displeasure, Xiang Yuan dared not conceal anything further. "Defender Shen, you are not a traditional Defender Envoy, so you might not be fully aware. Indeed, when Defender Envoys first appeared, they did primarily absorb nature’s spiritual energy." He deliberately paused, as if organizing his thoughts. "Defender Shen, you should be aware of how we Defender Envoys truly came to be. Initially, when Defender Envoys primarily absorbed nature’s spiritual energy to exchange for a Demon Evil’s body, the success rate was actually not high. Some Defender Envoys who exchanged for a Demon Evil’s body ended up with an imbalance in their own power, leading to Demonization. Over time, the number of Defender Envoys who dared to exchange for a Demon Evil’s body greatly dwindled, and many chose to primarily absorb nature’s spiritual energy instead."

"Over extended periods, some exceptionally talented Defender Envoys, while absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, managed to comprehend certain Cultivation Techniques akin to Martial Arts. These techniques could accelerate the Refinement of a Defender Envoy’s spiritual energy, thereby enhancing their strength. However, at the Defender Envoy level, even if such methods for improvement exist, breaking through the current Realm to advance to the next is still immensely difficult. Those capable of achieving this are few and far between."

Cultivation Techniques! Shen Changqing’s eyebrows arched. Considering Defender Envoys had existed for so many years, it wasn’t surprising that some strength-enhancing Cultivation Techniques had emerged. Martial Artists also hadn’t initially possessed Martial Arts; these too were man-made creations. But from Xiang Yuan’s explanation, it seemed that for a Defender Envoy to elevate their Realm through Cultivation Techniques was more difficult than for a Martial Artist to advance through Martial Arts.

He then asked, "Defender Xiang, do you possess any Defender Envoy Cultivation Techniques?"

"Yes. If Defender Shen needs one, I can provide it."

"Good. Then I’ll trouble you, Defender Xiang, to provide me with a Defender Envoy’s Cultivation Technique. Furthermore, since there’s no word from the Capital City yet, as the Defender Envoy of South Nether Prefecture, I will make the decision myself. In the future, you, Xiang Yuan, will assume the role of Dominator of the Baiyue City Demon-Subduing Division."

As Shen Changqing spoke, he once again forced out a drop of his Essence Blood.

"I previously retrieved the Essence Blood left in Baiyue City to deal with Wang Mubai. Now, I’ll give you another drop to stabilize Baiyue City. If a King Rank Defender Envoy emerges in Baiyue City in the future, I will reclaim this drop of Essence Blood."

"Many thanks, Defender Shen!" Xiang Yuan felt a huge weight finally lift from his heart. The sudden disappearance of the previous drop of Essence Blood had left him anxious for a long time. It was the greatest trump card of the Baiyue City Demon-Subduing Division, and its abrupt disappearance had inevitably made him feel insecure.

Now that the Essence Blood had returned, Xiang Yuan felt his confidence restored. He took a jade box and solemnly sealed the Essence Blood within it.

Afterwards, Shen Changqing turned to Fu Lan. "Defender Fu, do you have any objections to my decision?"
