Chapter 123 Return, Settlement

Hearing this, Lu Li came back to his senses from the harmonious atmosphere, smiled and said, "I want to travel and see the world."

“Traveling? That’s also a good choice.”

The lord smiled and said that he had decided to give Lu Li some travel expenses, but he would not mention this in front of others for fear that Lu Li would refuse.

It can be said that although Lu Li has only joined the Demon Slayer Corps for a short time, Ubuyashiki Yoya has a special feeling for Lu Li. It was Lu Li's appearance that changed the thousand-year stalemate and finally completed the mission of slaying demons.

Now that their family's curse has been lifted, they have also benefited from it, so he regards Lu Li and all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps as the great benefactors of their Ubuyashiki family.

Originally, he thought that someone like Lu Li who could do nothing but fighting would have a hard time surviving in the ever-changing society in the future, so he wanted to take care of Lu Li, but since the other party had already decided to travel, he could only express his support.

After the meeting, the nine pillars went their separate ways, some of them shed tears before leaving, their years of comradeship had formed a solid bond between them.

During the communication, Lu Li also roughly knew everyone's future plans.

The Sound Pillar is preparing to return to his hometown, live in seclusion with his wives, reform the ninja town, abolish those cruel rules, and allow the people there to welcome a new era of freedom.

The Snake Pillar and the Love Pillar are planning to open a small restaurant. It is said that the two are developing rapidly and are preparing to get married. They have also invited everyone from the Demon Slayer Corps to attend the wedding.

Flame Pillar returns home to inherit the family property, ready to help the local people reclaim wasteland and develop the economy.

Yanzhu wants to return to his original temple and renovate it. In addition to chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha every day, he also helps the farmers at the foot of the mountain with some manual labor.

Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu was going to look for his teacher, but because he was quiet and seemed aloof, everyone thought he was going to go back to live off his parents, but in fact, Tomioka Giyuu wanted to take care of his teacher first and then go out traveling.

With the funding from their lord, Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho opened a hospital together with Tamayo. Many children from the original Kocho House also joined them. In addition to treating patients, they also conducted medical research on weekdays.

Feng Zhu finally stopped arguing with his younger brother. After the two brothers had a heart-to-heart talk, they hugged each other and cried, venting all the grievances and guilt that had been suppressed in their hearts for years.

After that, Feng Zhu and his brother returned to their hometown, bought a piece of land with the money provided by their lord, and started a farming life.

The Kasumi Pillar was brainwashed by Tanjiro's friendship and has now recovered his memory and is no longer so stupid. This young Pillar chose to go to school, and it is unknown whether he will be bullied at school.

As for the new generation like Tanjiro who have not yet become pillars, they all have their own destinies.

Pig Inosuke decided to return to the mountains where he grew up and work as a forest ranger to protect nature. This move surprised Tanjiro and his friends, who thought that Inosuke would soon become unable to bear the loneliness and come out to play with them.

Tanjiro originally wanted to return to his hometown with Nezuko and continue his family's traditional business of chopping wood and selling charcoal, but in the end he was unable to return to that remote place as he wished, and was instead kept back by Kurika Rakura.

Finally, he and Nezuko opened a small restaurant next to the hospital where Ye Ying worked. With his excellent cooking skills, he quickly conquered the local diners and his business was booming.

Nezuko is the poster girl of their store, responsible for serving tea and food. Their happy little life has been improving, but Tanjiro, this straight man, seems to have never confessed his feelings to Ye Ying. Nezuko has hinted to his brother many times, but Tanjiro seems not to understand.

Oh, speaking of Nezuko, since Tanjiro and his partner stayed in the big city, Zenitsu also stayed there. He never gave up his plan to pursue Nezuko, but it seems that he has been disliked by Tanjiro recently.

I'm afraid all brothers in the world are the same, even Tanjiro is not immune to this. However, Nezuko herself did not reject Zenitsu's pursuit.

Of course, Zenitsu was not an idle person on weekdays. With the introduction of his lord, he became a local messenger, which was an early postman. He was affiliated with a state-owned enterprise and had a good salary.

Moreover, because Zenitsu delivered the letter so quickly, he was praised by many people and it was said that his salary was soon increased.

During holidays, Zenitsu would return to Momoyama to accompany Grandpa Jigoro and tell him stories of his adventures in slaying demons. When mentioning Lu Li, Zenitsu's descriptions would be much more exaggerated, but Jigoro would just laugh and liked Zenitsu's exaggerated descriptions very much.

Lu Li also went back to Taoshan and stayed there for a week, which was considered as his final farewell to the old man.

Jigoro was very moved to see Lu Li return, because he didn't expect that his eldest disciple would become a pillar just a few days after going down the mountain, and kill all the demons in just two months.

He was very pleased with the performance of his eldest disciple, and he always smiled when he saw Lu Li every day. However, he would still feel a little sad when he occasionally thought of his second disciple, Xun Yue, who died at the hands of a ghost.

However, as a trainer, many of his disciples had died, so he would not stay in sorrow forever. In addition, Zenitsu was really good at making people happy, so Momoyama was always full of laughter.

After seeing off the Nine Pillars, Lu Li also left his lord's mansion. Outside the door, Tanjiro and others were waiting for him.

"Brother Lu, are you leaving?"

Zenitsu and Tanjiro asked together.

Lu Li nodded, "All good things must come to an end. Wuzhan is dead, and our journey has just begun."

He patted Zenitsu's head and said, "Take good care of yourself, take good care of your teacher, and take good care of your family in the future."

Zenitsu's eyes sparkled with tears, and he nodded, "Don't worry, Senior Brother!"

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Brother, will you come back?"

Under the gaze of Tanjiro and the others, he thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "If we are destined to meet again, perhaps we will meet again."

He broke through this world, killed Muzan and obtained the core of the world. If he wanted, he could return to this world. He could even guide and change the direction of certain historical events in this world through ownership.

It’s just that a place like the mixed space can’t always be so comfortable. He has already rested for quite some time in this world, and the journey ahead is still very long.

Shan Yi looked at Lu Li's back as he walked away, and felt that he had suddenly grown up at this moment, because there was no longer a towering tree to protect him. Just as his senior brother said, everyone has his own journey in life, and he can only walk his own path.

When the sky was just getting bright, Lu Li's figure disappeared at the end of the horizon.

From then on, only the legend of the strongest demon slayer spread in this world. …………

As the feeling of weightlessness ended and Lu Li stepped back onto solid ground, his vision became clear and he returned to his room.

[It is detected that the pioneer has no obvious injuries. Do you want to start the settlement? ]

Lu Li walked to the refrigerator nearby, took out a bottle of Coke, opened the lid and took a sip, then sat on the sofa, "Checkout."

Lu Li looked at the rewards above, thought for a while, and then looked at the details of the Ghost Slayer title.

[Special Title. Ghost Slayer]

Title rating: A+
Origin of the title: After Pioneer No. 008 killed a large number of evil demons in the world of Demon Slayer, and finally killed the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, the title was created by the people praising the deeds of the pioneer.

Title effect 1: When holding this title, the pioneer gains an additional 20% true damage bonus when causing damage to all targets generally defined as ghosts, demons, evil spirits, or spirit targets.

Title function 2: When the holder of this title enters the world, he will naturally gain -1000 reputation in the ghost, demon, evil and other camps, and +1000 reputation in their enemy camps, and can choose a specific starting identity in some worlds.

Title Comment: The legendary ghost slayer is about to travel to the heavens.

Lu Li looked at the description of the title thoughtfully. Although the name is Ghost Slayer, the title's abilities cover a wide range. It roughly means that all demons, ghosts and spirits are included in it. As long as the conditions are met, if you hit the opponent, you will inflict 20% real damage, which is a huge bonus.

As for why it works on individuals other than ghosts, he guessed that it was related to the mechanism by which the title was created.

In the Demon Slayer world, the reputation system was opened in the End Space. When he finally left the Demon Slayer world, due to the passage of time, his reputation had exceeded ten thousand, reaching the epic level.

He speculated that his story might be passed down from generation to generation by the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. When these stories spread to the ears of ordinary people, he would have become a local myth in Neon.

Once it becomes a myth or legend, its content will be quite ridiculous. Since people in later generations have never seen a ghost and have no idea what form a ghost like Muzan's is in, most of them will think that they are some kind of powerful person who can kill demons and monsters, so the scope of the title of demon slayer becomes wider.

Lu Li didn't know whether his speculation was correct, but he felt that he should probably increase his reputation in the world more in the future, which would help him obtain powerful titles.

As for whether to choose this title, the answer is yes. True damage is hard to come by, not to mention that its effective range is not narrow. Facing enemies within the range, this title is too powerful, and it does not need to be worn to take effect.

After deciding to get this title, the remaining options were easy to choose. Lu Li now had a lot of End Coins on hand because he had earned a lot of End Coins from side quests, so he no longer cared about 40,000 End Coins.

Similarly, he also excluded purple-quality treasure chests, because even if it was a fully-rated purple equipment, its value was only about 30,000, not as good as the End Coin. The item box might contain purple bloodline items that were more valuable, but that kind of gambling was too unstable.

So he plans to choose options A, C, E, and F.
