School district housing in the demon realm 10
Then she asked, "Just now, the demon servants didn't seem to notice that your cultivation had regressed. Couldn't the other demons have noticed either? Or to put it bluntly, if the Six Realms were to invade in the future, would the demons and monsters that came not be able to detect it?"
"Of course not. I brought a magical artifact that A Luo made before to cover it up. It can only fool those with low cultivation levels." Xuan Tangjin told the truth and explained, "I brought it because I was afraid that the demon servants of the demon palace would notice it. If any demon servants were to become distracted because of this, it would definitely cause trouble."
"This is troublesome. So, you can't cultivate in places with abundant spiritual energy either," Xie Guijin sighed, her eyebrows furrowed.
Xuan Tangjin instinctively reached out to smooth Xie Guijin's worried face, but then suddenly realized it was inappropriate and reluctantly put his hand down, saying, "No, that's not it. The place in the Demon Palace with the most abundant spiritual energy is the Library Cave. You didn't open the Library Cave as a school, what was it called again, oh, a school."
Upon hearing this, Xie Guijin recalled that when she scanned the Demon Palace, a riot broke out before she even reached the Library Cave. Later, she obtained the System's Array Master skill, and because the Library Cave was occupied by a demon in deep meditation and difficult to move, she never went to explore it.
“Right now, it’s important for you to improve your cultivation,” Xie Guijin said quickly. “It’s also important to restrain those demons who are currently cultivating in the open areas. Defending against possible future competition is of paramount importance.”
"Can you let Xue Linchuan out so I can discuss the next steps with him? You can listen while you cultivate using a magical artifact containing spiritual energy?" Xie Guijin asked expectantly.
“Okay,” Xuan Tangjin agreed quickly without stammering when faced with Xie Guijin’s unreasonable and exploitative demands.
Xie Guijin, Xue Linchuan, Bi Luoji, and Xuan Tangjin, the two humans and two demons, discussed for a long time and decided on a strategy.
Xuan Tangjin went to the secret chamber of the library cave to cultivate as agreed.
Xie Guijin did not go to Biluoji's ritual implement room to select and improve the ritual implements as agreed, but instead went to the shrine where Bai Mudan was enshrined.
On the way, a demon servant hurriedly reported: "My lord, several distinguished guests who have finished their cultivation are eager to enter again, and they are willing to offer magic treasures and artifacts as payment."
“Go and tell them that magical artifacts and implements can be used as payment, but I have important matters to attend to and cannot go there for the time being. If they are willing to wait, please wait a moment; if not, please return,” Xie Guijin said without hesitation.
The demon servant was taken aback by Xie Guijin's forceful reply and asked cautiously, "Master, won't this offend them?"
"No, it will only make them cherish the opportunity to cultivate even more in the future."
Perhaps because Xie Guijin's tone was too confident, the demon servant said no more and immediately obeyed and left.
Xie Guijin then stepped through the ancestral hall's gate. Bi Luoji asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
"Is this your only question?" Xie Guijin asked softly. "Didn't you realize I can hear you?"
"Oh, right, what's going on here?" Biluoji tilted her head and asked.
Xie Guijin reached out and took three incense sticks, placing the incense tips on the candle flames, and said, "I don't know either, but I guess it's related to the overflow of spiritual energy. Of course, it could also be that you were concerned about Xuan Tang Jin, which is why you broke through the suppression when the ghost messengers came, or it could be both."
As the incense was lit, Biluoji said, "Let me offer incense to my mother first; I miss her so much."
Xie Guijin respectfully bowed three times with incense sticks in hand, then placed them into the incense burner and said, "If your mother knew in the afterlife, she would miss you dearly. Did you and your mother have any special agreement? Or did your mother give you any special instructions before you underwent your tribulation?"
"Why are you asking this?" Biluoji paused, then hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't trust you, I just don't understand why you're asking? I..."
“I know, don’t be nervous,” Xie Guijin said considerately. “Listen to me, I guess the reason you were able to survive the ‘Three Calamities’ is because your mother and Xuan Tangjin shielded you from the calamities. This act went against the will of Heaven, and there must be a price to pay.”
"So, my mother died because of me?" Biluoji asked in a trembling voice.
Xie Guijin sighed inwardly, hardening her heart: "This is just my guess, but it's probably true. Your mother was connected to you by blood, and her cultivation was above Xuan Tangjin's, so she suffered more backlash, which is why she suddenly passed away not long after you underwent your tribulation."
“Xuan Tang Jin is half-dead. I guess the Heavenly Dao’s punishment for it was probably not severe enough to take its life. Perhaps your mother did something that made the Heavenly Dao think that Xuan Tang Jin was coerced or seduced, which is why Xuan Tang Jin’s life was spared.” Xie Guijin continued, “So I took a gamble and destroyed Xuan Tang Jin’s demon core, crippled its cultivation, and revived it.”
"I think your mother loved you too much. She knew that even if you died in the calamity, you would be reincarnated, but she was still willing to give her life for your safety," Xie Guijin said in the end.
Biluoji shed two lines of clear tears, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mother."
“It didn’t tell you that there is a lot of spiritual energy hidden in the Demon Palace, but it must have thought that if the spiritual energy were exposed one day, it would bring you a fatal disaster. It loves you so much, it would definitely leave you a way to save your life. That’s why I want to know. Can you tell me?” Xie Guijin said slowly after Bi Luoji had cried for a while.
“I… my mother didn’t leave me anything special,” Biluoji recalled, wiping away her tears, “but she told me to go to my godmother if I needed anything.”
"Why didn't you go look for Xuan Tangjin when he was unconscious?"
“Because,” Biluoji said, rubbing the hem of her clothes, “because I think my godmother doesn’t like Xuanlang.”
“Oh,” Xie Guijin nodded in confirmation, “Then that’s right, your godmother is the backup plan your mother left for you.”
Biluoji pondered these words, suddenly realizing and incredulously exclaiming, "My mother doesn't believe Xuanlang? How is that possible? My mother treats Xuanlang like her own son. Even I don't know anything about spiritual energy, yet my mother told Xuanlang. Xuanlang almost died protecting me; he is truly devoted to me."
"Sigh," Xie Guijin said expressionlessly, "Xuan Tangjin is certainly sincere towards you right now, but sincerity can change in an instant. Isn't it normal that your mother doesn't dare to gamble?"
Biluoji was caught between two extremes, feeling torn and in pain.
"How do I contact your godmother?" Xie Guijin asked coldly, like a heartless scumbag.
Biluoji cried and said, "Use sorcery to activate the bloodline bracelet on your right wrist."
Xie Guijin lowered her head, took off the bracelet, and saw that the inner wall of the bracelet, which was made of an unknown material, was engraved with three names. Xie Guijin recognized two of them as the names of Bai Mudan and Bi Luoji, and the other should be the name of Bi Luoji's godmother, named Yao Jinfei.
"Would finding a godmother really be of any use? My godmother and my mother met while doing business. Her cultivation level isn't high, so I'm afraid she's powerless against the unruly elements of the Six Realms." Biluoji said anxiously, "Maybe we should just give up and not cause them any trouble."
Xie Guijin swung the bracelet as she said, "Don't doubt your mother's ability or judgment, and don't question the bond between your mother and your godmother."
The sorcery worked, and a water mirror popped out from the bracelet.
A beautiful woman dressed in a pale yellow gauze dress appeared in the mirror. She looked at Xie Guijin with slightly upturned eyes and a sharp gaze, and demanded, "Who are you? Where is A'Luo?"
Xie Guijin licked her upper lip, composed herself, and briefly explained how she came to the demon realm from the modern world through a system.
"Are you crazy? Why are you telling her all this?" the system yelled frantically. "Just say you're Bi Luo Ji, why do you have to let everyone know I exist? What kind of mission taker are you! Didn't I tell you they wouldn't be able to tell? Although I don't know what went wrong that made her ask that, if you don't say anything, she can only suspect it. No matter what method you use, you can't prove you're not Bi Luo Ji. Why did you have to admit it? It's infuriating, infuriating..."
Xie Guijin manually muted her microphone again.
"You're so honest, aren't you afraid I'll search your soul and make it vanish?" Yao Jinfei mocked, waving her jade-bone fan.
"Manager Yao is joking. You can spot the clues in just one glance, so why would I need to deceive you?" Xie Guijin said neither humbly nor arrogantly. "It's not that I'm being presumptuous, but no matter how capable Manager Yao is, he can't do anything to me. Time is of the essence, and I can't let you do anything else because you suspect me."
“I think A Luo is very important to Manager Yao, and I want to clear the obstacles for him before I leave. Since we have the same goal, why not cooperate?” Xie Guijin said sincerely, her eyes crinkling and her lips curving into a smile.
Yao Jinfei closed the jade-bone fan, gently tapping her right palm with the fan handle in her left hand, and after a moment of thought, said, "Let's believe you for now. You guessed right; Sister Bai did indeed leave a life-protecting method for A'Luo."
The abundance of spiritual energy in the Demon Palace is actually due to a powerful spiritual vein underground.
Bai Mudan left Bi Luoji with three safeguards. The first was to make the spiritual vein recognize Bi Luoji as its master, and to restrict it with a master-servant contract. Only Bi Luoji could maintain the operation of the spiritual vein, and only if she was willing could other living beings use the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual vein to cultivate.
Secondly, there are restrictions placed on the spiritual vein. Anyone who injures Bi Luoji while fighting for the spiritual vein will continuously lose their own spiritual energy, resulting in a significant loss of cultivation. Anyone who kills Bi Luoji while fighting for the spiritual vein will lose all their cultivation and die.
Thirdly, it is bound to the life and death of the spiritual vein. If Biluoji dies, the spiritual vein will destroy itself; if Biluoji is injured, the spiritual vein will be weakened.
Upon hearing this, Xie Guijin blinked and asked in confusion, "Xuantangjin obviously used spiritual energy to cultivate before. At that time, A'luo didn't know anything about spiritual energy, let alone wanted Xuantangjin to cultivate. Why was it able to use it?"
"You'll have to ask A'Luo about that. Although she doesn't know, she's already secretly given her heart to him," Yao Jinfei said, unfolding her jade fan and covering half her face with a teasing smile. "I bet they've been intimate for a long time."
“Uh,” Xie Guijin was stunned upon hearing this, never expecting such an answer.
Biluoji innocently replied, "Yes, yes, we already..."
"Stop, stop, stop," Xie Guijin interrupted hurriedly, "I don't want to hear it."
In the water mirror, Yao Jinfei looked at Xie Guijin, who was covering her ears with her hands, with a mocking smile in her eyes.
“Manager Yao, I have treated you with sincerity,” Xie Guijin said, putting down her hand and clearing her throat. “But you seem to be holding back.”
