"I see..." Lothur muttered under his breath, already thinking about the idea of hunting demons in the future.

Before having the previous conversation with Viktoria, he knew that demons produced Soul Bones. But the spirit-body part and the possibility of quasi-immortality were unknown to him.

Thus, upon discovering the marvels that Soul Bones could do for cultivators, this ambitious man could not help but desire a complete set of such artifacts.

To do so, he would undoubtedly have to learn the techniques for eliminating demons and hunting them down. After all, there were not many of them in this world, and there were even those who managed to blend into human societies.

Demons of powerful bloodlines, such as those classified as Emperors, had bodies remarkably similar to those of humans. Not only that, among all types of demons, these were the only ones that could control their bloodlust and even live among humans!

So, it was not so simple to find one of these. Unless one was very unlucky or lucky, depending on one's abilities, finding a demon was more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

Hence the need to learn from the notorious Demon Hunters' Guild!

Lothur then smiled silently. 'When I become stronger, I will seek out one of those guilds!'

"By the way, dear, is there such a guild in Peters City? What are the requirements to join that organization?"

Hearing that, Viktoria laughed and said. "There is, but I don't think you'll be able to get into that place..."

"The Demon Hunters' Guild is a continental institution, respected by all humanity and even some other races. As such, the requirements to join that noble institution are not small, and an ordinary mortal would not make it."

"Really? Who knows, maybe I will become the first..." He laughed.

"Haha, not many can make me laugh like that, Lothur, haha... I must admit that you are funny!"

"Anyway, if you want to embarrass yourself, then I'll tell you this. The local Demon Hunters' Guild is on the top floor of the Seraphim Church, in the sacred temple of our city."

The Seraphim Church was the most widespread religious institution in Leopoldine, the preacher of the faith of tens of millions of people on this continent, with the most significant number of devotees among local religions.

It was supposedly created by a demon hunter who descended from a divine race, an individual who, according to legend, had ascended to immortality.

Considering this and the fact that such an institution preached the fight against demons and other beings that tormented humanity, it had become very famous in Concordia, with many mortals following it.

Because of the connection of the church's founder with the demon hunters, the Demon Hunters' Guild was part of this institution and was, in fact, the most influential legion of this church.

Viktoria continued. "That place is an area that only those people with merit, power, and no nefarious interests can enter."

"From what I've heard, to join that organization, one has to pass through the seraph light and receive God's blessing!"

"Then, good luck trying to get into that place, haha." She laughed, finally feeling a little better about dealing with this husband of hers.

'I want to see if a person who likes bets and is a womanizer who doesn't care about his wife will get the seraph's approval!'

'Haha, maybe I should follow him when he tries to do that foolish thing? At least I can get revenge for the anger he is causing me!'

On the other hand, Lothur was thinking about different things than his wife. 'Well, I don't like to speak well of myself, but I particularly think I'm good enough.'

'Anyway, the system is on my side, so it will probably help me with this.'

'This seraph light is probably just another little test.'

Lothur was not a religious person, so there was no way he could think of this church and seraphim mystically. To him, the founder of this organization was just another cultivator, someone who had probably reached a high level in life.

In this way, there was nothing to fear or worry about. It was just another test on his path, and he would naturally do his best to pass it like any other.

...

Sometime later, husband and wife finally realized that the sounds coming from inside that residence had ceased.

At the same time, the pulses of energy from earlier had ended, having been replaced by a distinctive aroma, which soon left that place and reached the couple's nostrils.

"Oh?"

"Has she advanced?" Lothur unconsciously asked as Viktoria ran with a satisfied expression on her face to see her sister.

At this point, Viktoria already had her sense of smell sealed off. At the same time, poor Lothur, who could not use the spiritual energy in his body for this, just used his strong willpower to ignore it.

He just followed after his wife and entered the place where Annaliese was still sitting in a lotus position.

As he reached there, he immediately noticed the puddle of black liquid under the place his sister-in-law was standing. Meanwhile, her body seemed to have changed considerably.

"Anna..."

She was beautiful before, a beauty of high standard even for the cultivation world. However, Annaliese still lacked compared to her older sister, who looked like a goddess living among humans.

But after successfully absorbing the energy generated by the Soul Bone purchased earlier, she underwent a qualitative change, having reached a level of beauty very close to Viktoria's.

She was still a bit behind. After all, her measurements had not changed. Only the appearance of her skin, muscle quality, and cellular efficiency had evolved. But the new Annaliese was still making Lothur more excited and happy.

'Let me see your new strength...'

[Name: Annaliese Frost]

[Cultivation: level 8]

[STR: 33.2] [CON: 37] [DEX: 35.7] [AGI: 34]

"That..."

'She went from the beginning of level 6 to the end of level 8 in just a few hours!'

'Impressive!' Lothur's eyes sparkled in excitement, eager to undergo similar experiences in the future.

But Lothur had seen only the tip of the iceberg!

The most important effect of the pure energy that Soul Bone generated was in regard to Annaliese's mental characteristics, which had improved by more than 100%.

With this, not only her senses but her talent and will had undergone significant changes, which would bring her many benefits in training and cultivation in the future!

"Impressive!"

"Soul Bones are truly amazing!" He commented in a low voice, drawing the attention of the satisfied Viktoria.

Viktoria could not quantify Annaliese's advancement as her husband could. But with her senses of a higher level than his, she readily realized that her sister had reached the peak of the 8th Transformation.

Thus, she was delighted with Annaliese's good fortune.

She then said to Lothur. "Good luck trying to find Soul Bones."

"Although there are many cultivators with Soul Bones, there is no method to track them down. But, on the other hand, a person with just one of those can already be considered exceptionally talented in our world."

"So, even if you know the identity of someone with Soul Bones, it may be impossible to remove such items from their bodies."

"With that, you are left with only the demons, beings that are extremely rare to find, each of them extremely difficult to kill..."

Lothur ignored his wife's words of 'encouragement' and watched Annaliese coming out of her meditative state. "Anna, how are you? What did you get out of this opportunity?" He gave one of his hands to her, smiling gently.

Seeing Lothur's handsome face, Annaliese blushed slightly and used his help to get up. "I didn't get a skill, but I gained several improvements in my cultivation, body, and even talent!"

"Big sister, I am now at the peak of the 8th Transformation!" She said with watery eyes, happier than ever.

"Hmmm!"

"Congratulations, Anna." Viktoria nodded as Lothur moved toward her to hug her.

But Annaliese jumped back when she saw that, not wanting him to touch her at that moment. "Lothur and sister, excuse me, but I must go to the bathroom to clean myself..."

She ran from there but looked back once again, embarrassed that she had soiled the living room of her sister's residence. "Sister, I..."

"Go on, don't bother with that." Viktoria manipulated the spiritual energy in her body, making a wave of white energy form around her hands.

After doing so, she directed that 'fog' toward the toxins on the ground, causing them to burn in a few seconds.

Lothur watched it from beginning to end, impressed by the abilities of a Spiritual Warrior.

But after Viktoria looked at him coldly, he left that place, already psychologically preparing to ingest the poisons he had prepared earlier!

'Anna has leveled up, so I can't fall behind!'

'Time for me to get a qualitative improvement myself!'
