After taking all the items, Lu Cang and the others returned to the guild's base.

Xin Baiyue stood under the sun umbrella in the garden, holding a cup of coffee, waiting for Lu Cang to arrive.

Seeing the coffee in Xin Baiyue's hand, Lu Cang suddenly asked, "Coffee, did you pay for it?"

Xin Baiyue, holding a cup of coffee, smiled gently at Lu Cang: "He made it for me willingly~"

Lu Cang turned his head and saw the chef in the guild not far away grinning foolishly, staring at Xin Baiyue from a distance.

Sigh, that woman.

Lu Cang didn't care about the coffee incident. He simply pulled out a bottle and tossed it to Xin Baiyue.

Xin Baiyue slightly raised her wrist and steadily caught the bottle. The bottle contained nothing but the Divine Fire Seed.

Seeing the spark, Xin Baiyue's eyes curved into crescents: "Happy transaction, you really are reliable."

Xin Baiyue opened the bottle and took out the divine fire from it.

And with that one action, the mark was hit.

[The filth and darkness of Zhuya—you have become the target of Zhuya's mark, the primary prey of the angelic and holy alliance races.]

Upon seeing this mark, Xin Baiyue's eyes flickered, her expression slightly startled. She then looked at Lu Cang and chuckled, "Brother Cangqiong, you must have known that the divine fire was unusual, right? Why didn't you remind me?"

Lu Cang retorted, "Are you afraid of Zhu Ya?"

"The primordial true god, the first light of all realms, how could he not be afraid?"

"I'm not afraid."

"Then, I'm afraid. Can you protect me?" Xin Baiyue said sweetly, her tone revealing her fragility.

At the same time, Xin Baiyue's eyes turned and she saw the white deer gazing at her.

Xin Baiyue sensed the same aura emanating from the white deer.

It turns out that this little girl was also marked by Zhu Ya.

"It seems we're in the same boat now. But even if you don't use this method to bind me, I still intend to cooperate with you for the long term."

Xin Baiyue had come to understand that Zhu Ya's mark was Lu Cang's doing, to ensure that she was on the same side.

"I know, but multiple insurances have always been my style of doing things."

Xin Baiyue wasn't angry at all. Instead, she said in a joking tone, "Hey~ you really don't know how to be gentle with a lady. This is Zhu Ya, you know. Being chased by a true god and His forces must be a headache, right?"

Lu Cang wasn't buying it at all, and replied, "Do you still need to worry about being hunted down?"

Faced with Lu Cang's question, Xin Baiyue did not respond, but changed the subject, saying, "Then, what do you plan to do next? I can leave you a few houses in Baicheng, and you can stay as long as you want."

"No, we don't plan to go back there. I'm taking them to get the divine positions."

"Oh? As expected of a reincarnator, even something as difficult as obtaining a godhood is described as so simple."

Xin Baiyue's voice echoed in Lu Cang's mind. The fact that Lu Cang was a reincarnator was a secret known only to her and the Xin Jueyue sisters.

"Then, what do I need to do afterward?"

Lu Cang responded without hesitation, "After Xin Jueyue completes the Jealousy Trial, you can all go to Lotvis together."

"Lotvis, the imperial city of the human race?"

Xin Baiyue looked up at the sky and recalled, "It's been a long time since I've been to Lotvis, but since you're making this request, you must have something to trouble me with."

"Could you tell me in advance what it is about?"

Lu Cang smiled frankly and said, "Of course you can. You know I never keep people in suspense."

"However, I need to take my friends to do more important things first. How about I write things down later and you can read them yourself? It won't waste any time."

Xin Baiyue glanced at Lu Cang's teammates. Apart from Xiu Mi covering her mouth and yawning, Lu Cang's other teammates were staring at her without blinking.

"Hmm~ It seems I'm in the way here. Well then, I look forward to our private meeting again~" After saying that, Xin Baiyue disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lu Cang shrugged slightly and then used a return scroll to leave the instance.

The instance has been completely cleared out. If they return the way they came, they will likely encounter hordes of angels. Without Xin Baiyue present, these angels will probably hunt them down relentlessly.

If they return the way they came, the relentless pursuit of so many angels along the way would be enough to give them a hard time.

Moreover, killing these angels is a thankless task, as they won't drop anything good.

Lu Cang naturally didn't intend to make a fool of himself.

Within the guild stronghold, you can use a return scroll. Simply use the return scroll to return directly to the nearest city.

Using a return scroll in the Forbidden Zone of Light will return you to the city of High Heaven, a city-state where countless races mingle. High Heaven is bustling with activity as various races come and go.

After returning to Gaotian City, Lu Cang first used a nearby teleportation array to return to Baicheng and sent Xin Baiyue back to the guild's territory.

After sending Xin Baiyue back, Lu Cang returned to the guild headquarters and woke up the still dazed crowd.

Leng Qingying snapped out of her reverie, slapped her face twice, and blushed.

Leng Qingying let out a long sigh, recalling her fantasy from just now, and felt extremely humiliated.

She's fallen for his tricks so many times already. If she were just a brave soul, that would be one thing, but she's repeatedly fallen into fantasies because of Xin Baiyue's beauty. That's so shameful.

So, Leng Qingying asked seriously, "President, how can I see her without getting infected?"

Lu Cang gave Leng Qingying an unexpected answer. The president, who always had a way of dealing with everything, replied, "There's nothing we can do. Getting caught is getting caught. You'll get used to it after a few more times."

For a normal person to meet Xin Baiyue without falling for her trap, they would need to meet her at least ten times to get used to her.

If we absolutely have to resist, we'll have to undergo brutal willpower training, but that takes too much time, and I don't have time for that right now.

"LuLu, XiuMi, ZuYa, WuWei, you can move around freely now. The portal I opened is to GaoTianCity. You can go and turn in the challenge quest first. I'll be there in a bit."

Bai Lu and the others also woke up.

"Oh, brother, see you later." Bai Lu also heard Lu Cang's words. Since there was nothing she could do about being caught, she wouldn't dwell on it.

Bai Lu waved to Lu Cang and turned to leave first.

Challenge missions~ Challenge missions~

Bai Lu was very much looking forward to the rewards of the challenge mission and wanted to get them first. The Brave Warriors and the others were no exception. After Lu Cang said that they were free to move around, they all left one by one.

Only Leng Qingying and Lu Cang remained in the guild.

"Xiao Leng".

Lu Cang simultaneously gave Leng Qingying the essence of nothingness and the dark, turbid blood.

"This is for you."

The Dark Blood Coagulation can only be obtained by defeating Silio in the Dark Mode. If you kill Silio normally, the first phase will end before the Dark Mode is activated due to low health.

Activating Cilio's mode requires two conditions to be met simultaneously.

One is to make Cilio see the [Dim Crystal] when his health drops below 10%.

The second condition is to make Cilio temporarily forget his faith, or to make other things in his heart take precedence over Juya.

The existence of the White Moon in the Heart is the opportunity to fulfill the second condition.

Only by defeating Cirio in the Dark Mode can you obtain the unique item [Dark Blood Clotting].

"What is this?" Leng Qingying knew this thing was very important; unique props were never simple things.

However, there is not much description of the turbid and dark blood clots, only a simple line.

[Description: Filthy, dark blood.]

After Leng Qingying obtained the Dark Blood, she used the appraisal scroll but did not discover any special information. The same was true for the other [Essence of Nothingness].

Then, Lu Cang tossed several strange bottles to Leng Qingying, each containing a different liquid.

The descriptions of these liquids all state: "[Sky's homemade mixed potion, ingredients unknown]"

These medicines look so strange...

It doesn't look good at all.

"Take these medicines according to the numbers I've marked." Leng Qingying turned the bottle and saw that the different medicine bottles had numbers on them.

It was labeled with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

"After drinking the potions I give you in order, drink the Dark Blood Congealed, and finally swallow the Essence of Nothingness."

"This is the gift I'm giving you."

Having gone through so much, Leng Qingying trusted Lu Cang completely.

Take the medicine one dose at a time.

Leng Qingying's status bar displayed various strange statuses.

[Body Glowing: Your Body Can Shine]

[Glowing internal organs: Oh! This is truly amazing! If someone cuts you in half, they'll find your internal organs are glowing.]

[Dark Organs: Your internal organs may be black, but this doesn't necessarily mean you're sick.]

...

These are all strange states.

Finally, after drinking all seven bottles of potions, only the Dark Blood and Void Essence remained.

Leng Qingying frowned slightly as she looked at the viscous, dark liquid in the bottle containing the [Turbid Dark Blood Coagulation], but ultimately opened the bottle and swallowed it in one gulp.

It has a strange taste, much stranger than the previous medicines that had little to no taste.

The taste of 【Dark and Clotted Blood】is very bitter and overpowering, and the texture is sticky and gooey...

"Oh... I forgot to mention, you can actually use this Dark Blood Congeal directly by clicking on it."

Upon hearing Lu Cang's belated reminder, Leng Qingying's lips twitched.

President, you didn't just forget to mention it; you definitely did it on purpose, but there was no time to complain.

Leng Qingying clenched her teeth tightly, feeling a chill run through her body as darkness enveloped her.

You have been tainted by primal darkness.

What strange message?

They didn't even finish explaining what the consequences would be... What would happen if one were tainted by primal darkness?

Leng Qingying frowned. This feeling was unpleasant at all, as if her entire body was completely immersed in damp, dark, sticky, wet, cold mud, and she was constantly sinking.

It was cold and damp.

Leng Qingying snorted and opened the second bottle she wanted to drink—the essence of nothingness.

Lu Cang reminded him, "You can also click on it directly..."

Leng Qingying heard Lu Cang's words, but still tilted her head back and poured the Void Essence down. Leng Qingying didn't know what she was angry with herself for, but she just didn't intend to click to use it directly.

After drinking the bottle of nothingness, Leng Qingying felt as if her body had disappeared, and the cold, dark feeling she had just experienced completely vanished.

Leng Qingying could not feel the existence of her own body at all, but her sight and hearing were still present.

Leng Qingying thought to herself, and lowered her head.

As a result, I couldn't feel my head or the movement of my body, but my gaze did indeed drop.

Leng Qingying saw that her body was still there and had not disappeared.

But Leng Qingying wanted to open her mouth, yet no sound came out; she wanted to convey her thoughts, yet she forgot how to do so.

Leng Qingying was somewhat bewildered; what was wrong with her?

"It will take some time for these two substances to work together and exert their effects."

"Both of these substances are deadly poisons when used alone by humans. Only when they are combined will they produce a special reaction."

"However, these are ultimately two poisons. If they react in your body, there will definitely be temporary negative effects. During this time, do not log off. Just wait quietly for the effects to take hold."

Leng Qingying tried to make a move, gesturing wildly with her hands.

"Oh, you want to ask what will happen after it takes effect?"

"Hmm... You will become the only person in the world with the Primal Dark Void Body. However, this body is not considered a traditional body in the Illusionary Realm. But if we're talking about comparisons, I think it's no worse than the Arrogant Stance."

This Primordial Dark Void Body is a physique that Lu Cang developed himself, and he also named it himself.

Unlike things obtained through inheritance, this is more like a special ability synthesized by accidentally mixing a bunch of random potions together.
