divine spirit at the level of a God King, strike with lightning speed.This is a point: being bullied but afraid of the strong.Shen Changqing had already reached a state of mastery.Let me know if you..."Brother Shen has arrived!"

Jiang An was originally in the process of carving runes when he saw the arrival of someone, and immediately stopped his actions.
"Hmm."
Shen Changqing nodded and looked around.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This is not the outer perimeter of the Demon Suppression Prison, but an internal location. Around it, individual cells have already been formed. People from the Exorcism Pavilion are meticulously carving runes, making the Demon Suppression Prison more complete.
After taking two glances, he retracted his gaze.
How much longer will it take for the Demon Suppression Prison to be truly completed
It'll be done soon, in about half a month at most.
Jiang An answered without hesitation.
"Now everything in the Demon Suppressing Prison is complete, only the final inscription of runes is left. Of the five layers of the Demon Suppressing Prison, the first three layers have been completely inscribed, leaving only the last two."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Half a month.
Shen Changqing nodded.
It hasn't been too long.
But all things considered, it's been about four or five months since the construction of the Demon Suppression Prison began.
...and this.
...just a demon slayer from Po Shan town.
Including the subsequent Nanhai City Demon Suppression Division, the construction of these two Demon Suppressing Prisons also took approximately a year.
Looking at those prison cells.
Then Shen Changqing continued to ask, “The Five-Layered Demon Suppression Prison, how many demons can it hold in total What is the upper limit of strength for the demons that each layer can hold”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He knew that the demonic prison's maximum holding capacity at each level was different.
Just like the Demon Prison of the capital city, the deeper you go, the more powerful the demons imprisoned there become.
There is a very obvious reason for this as well, which is that going deep underground can effectively block the spread of sinister and evil energy.
Jiang An said: "The Five-Layered Demon Suppression Prison, each layer has thirty cells, a total of one hundred and fifty demon evils can be imprisoned. The first three layers can imprison demons below a certain level, while the last two layers can imprison all levels of demons."
But this demon is limited to low-level demons.
Exceeding the limitations of the lower levels, the Demon Prison has no means to contain them. To do so, a Demon Sealing Tower would need to be constructed.
As for the construction cost of the Demon Sealing Tower, it would be considerably higher than that of the Demon Suppression Prison, and it would also take much longer. Only those from the Demon Sealing Pavilion could undertake such a task.
Five Layers of Demon Subduing Prison.
One hundred and fifty demons.
Shen Changqing nodded in satisfaction: "That's enough. Being able to imprison low-level demons is already good enough. The difficulty of capturing low-level demons is not small, and it is extremely unlikely for Nan Youfu to capture mid-level or higher demons with its current power."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's not that he looks down on the power of Nanyu Mansion's Demon Suppression Division.
But in the Nan You Fu Town Demon Division, there weren't many who held the Houting rank of town guard commander. Most were just Jiang ranking town guard commanders.
>
Wang Jie's words as the military governor.
Apart from the heads of each department, there is no one else.
Catching even the weakest mid-level demon requires several marquis-rank guards to be dispatched.
Capture alive.
The difficulty of not killing on the spot is comparable.
The difficulty of the former is more than two or three times that of the latter.
If it were a powerful mid-level demon, only the Wang Jie Town Guard Commander could personally take action to subdue it and have a chance of capturing it alive.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore.
Shen Changqing didn't believe that the South You Mansion Demon Suppression Division had the power to capture a mid-level demon.
Don't even talk about intermediate demons, it would be great to even catch low-level ones.
His true goal.
...are only aimed at those weak demons.
A single Specter monster only contributes a few points to your kill count. A hundred Specter monsters would contribute enough points to be comparable to several low-ranked demons.
Besides.
Capturing a ghost is many times easier than capturing lower-level demons.
Then, I'll trouble you with this matter, Brother Jiang.
"Brother Shen, you are too kind. This is simply within my capacity."
Jiang brother smiled faintly.
The compensation was already discussed beforehand, so there's nothing more to say about that.
Shen Changqing also smiled and said: "Jiang brother, the things you want, when the Demon-Suppressing Prison is completed, I will let Jiang brother take them away together."
No problem.
After inspecting the Five-Layered Demon Suppressing Prison thoroughly, Shen Changqing finally left.
After leaving.
He immediately went to find the person in charge of the Slashing Demons Hall.
In the Slay Demon Hall, every sub-hall has its own person in charge.
>
This time, Shen Changqing found the people from the four major task halls of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang.
Inside the Hall of Grand Deliberation.
Several hall stewards bowed deeply with cupped fists: "Lord Garrison Commander!"
"No need for formalities."
"Thank you, sir!"

Several leaders only then straightened up, exchanging glances with each other. Each of them had a puzzled look on their faces.
Yes.
Doubt.
Although they were in charge of the side halls, they had never been summoned individually by Shen Changqing.
This time, when Shen Zhen Shou suddenly summoned them, although the four of them had nothing to hide, they still felt a little guilty.
This is respect for the strong.
It is also the fear caused by Chen Changqing's recent widespread reputation.
>
After a long silence.
The person in charge of the Tianjie Mission Hall's side hall clasped his fists and asked, "I wonder what important matters Lord Garrison has summoned us for"
"There is something I need you to help me with."
"Sir Commander, please speak!"
The person in charge of the Heavenly Staircase Mission Hall's Division was startled, but he didn't show it. Instead, he respectfully replied.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Several other people in charge were also silently thinking to themselves.
What on earth could have possibly made the other party summon them
At this moment.
>
Shen Changqing got straight to the point: "I want to know, for every task the Heavenly Secrets and Earthly Profoundities Demon Slayer completes, how much merit is awarded"
"Uh..."
The person in charge of the Heavenly Staircase Hall was stunned, and immediately bowed in response.
"The Celestial Bureau's Demonic Exorcists always target powerful, high-level malevolent spirits for their missions. The mission rewards primarily depend on the difficulty level."
If it's just a powerful Fiend-level monster causing trouble, then the reward given for the task would be roughly around one hundred renown.
The Celestial Stairway Demon Slayer is extraordinary, only those in the late stage of Master can be promoted to this level.
The task rewards for achieving 100 points of merit, combined with the yin qi gained from slaying demons, add up to roughly 130 points in total.
...Convert it using the black market price.
>
One hundred and thirty points of merit actually amount to several tens of thousands of taels of silver.
This is the reward.
That's quite a generous amount.
>
Just as Shen Changqing was deep in thought, the other branch hall managers also spoke up.
"The tasks of a Demon Slayer on the first floor are generally around fifty merit points in reward, but the specifics still depend on the difficulty of the mission."
“The reward for a Xuanjie Demon Slayer's mission is around 15 to 20 points of merit.”
“The reward for the task of a Huangjie Demon Slayer will not exceed five merit points, unless there is a large number of demonic calamities, in which case the merit point reward will be proportionally increased.”
Each division head had finished speaking.
Shen Changqing already had a general idea in his mind.
When everyone had finished speaking, he said: "You all understand the purpose of building the Demon Suppression Prison. The main reason for its construction is to imprison demonic fiends."
I plan to post some missions to capture demons in each branch hall.
This is the end of a paragraph.
As soon as the words left his lips.
Several division chiefs could only bow their heads.
They are waiting, waiting for the other person's next words.
As expected.
Shen Changqing's voice continued: "Capturing ghosts of the You level, regardless of difficulty, will be rewarded with thirty points of merit. Capturing ghosts of the Yuan level, regardless of difficulty, will be rewarded with one hundred and twenty points of merit."
Capturing extremely formidable monsters, an Earth-ranked demon slayer at the level will be awarded 300 points of merit, and a Heaven-ranked demon slayer at this level will be awarded 600 points of merit.
>
This mission reward is what he thought was most suitable after considering it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The reason is very simple.
The task reward for a Heavenly Stairway Demon Slayer is generally around one hundred merit points, but that's based on slaying demons. Capturing demons requires more manpower and time than simply killing them.
600 points of achievement, seemingly worth four or five times the reward of an ordinary mission.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
However.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Catching a demon requires at least two or three people of the same level.
On average.
This reward is not actually that much of a premium.
And.
This offered reward price is already about ten times smaller compared to what Shen Changqing directly asked Yuanyang Auction House to purchase the demons for.
600 points of merit.
Even if sold to the outside at the highest price, it would only be equivalent to three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And he had the Youanyang Auction House acquire the ferociously eerie artifacts, starting at a minimum price of one million taels of silver.
But.
Sometimes prices can't be calculated like that.
Although 600 points of merit have the highest market price, which is equivalent to 300,000 taels of silver, having 300,000 taels of silver doesn't necessarily mean you can buy 600 points of merit.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The honors available on the market are limited in quantity.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if Shen Changqing himself had tens of millions of taels, he wouldn't be able to acquire too much merit.
>
Apart from that.
Gongxun's role in the Zhenmosis extends beyond this.
For example, entering the Wu Ge for seclusion or exchanging for unique treasures are not achievable with silver. Only merit grants such privileges.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
So.
Don't look at achievements and silver as being interchangeable, but that only applies to a certain amount.
For many people in the Demon Suppression Division, merit is often more important than silver.
People who truly sell their achievements often do so out of necessity due to certain circumstances.
That's all.
Shen Changqing paused, then said again: "If they are willing to accept silver as a reward for the task, then each ghost of the You rank will be worth 10,000 taels, each ghost of the Sha rank will be worth 100,000 taels in the early stage, 200,000 taels in the middle stage, and 300,000 taels in the later and peak stages."
At the initial stage, a Shaji costs one million taels. At the middle stage, it costs two million taels. At the later stage and peak, it costs three million taels.
This price.
That was the price he paid to acquire the Yuanyang Auction House. As head of the Demonic Suppression Division, his own faction, he didn't try to haggle or be cheap about it.
As for the external acquisitions, the price is the same for the people in the Demon Suppression Division as well.
> When Shen Changqing finished speaking.
Several hall chiefs looked at each other, then nodded in unison.
"No problem, but I wonder how the lord will handle matters of merit and silver"
