"??"
Is this also magic?
Xu Milu stared curiously at the proprietress's actions and quickly realized that this must be some kind of life magic that could ferment dough.
It seems that in this world, the use of tools is not as widespread as that of magic, but when it comes to things like dough rising, the Chinese generally choose to use yeast.
There are generally two types of bread sold in the inn. The first type is rye bread, which can be bought for a small copper coin. It is dry and hard and has a strange taste. The second type is white bread, which costs a large copper coin. Most mercenaries only order it as a luxury when they return from an adventure.
The freshly baked bread has a crispy crust but a soft and light interior. You can feel its fluffy texture, like a cloud, when you squeeze it. Cut a piece of butter and place it on a slice of bread. Wait for the solidified butter to soften and melt into the bread due to the temperature. Then sprinkle a layer of white sugar on top while it's still hot. When you eat it, your whole mouth will be filled with the aroma of wheat, milk, and the sweetness of white sugar.
Xu Milu tried taking a bite, and whether it was psychological or the landlady's magic really worked, the white bread in her hand really tasted a little different.
"Oh no, another war is brewing."
Looking out at the desolate street, the proprietress couldn't help but complain:
"May the God of Light protect us! I heard there's going to be another war. What are those noble lords doing?!"
Xu Milu didn't reply, but instead broke open the bread in her hand and savored it carefully.
...
...
"Xiao Qi, have you noticed? The landlady has no cultivation at all. Only when she chants incantations can there be a faint surge of spiritual energy in the air. In other words, the landlady is just a... container? vessel? circuit for casting magic?"
Xu Milu frowned, somewhat troubled, and began to ponder the difference between spells and magic.
[That's probably true, host. All living beings on this continent call spiritual energy "magic power," and the basic operation of magic relies on certain "rules." Each spell corresponds to one "rule." The total amount of magic power within a human body does not increase, which means that some people will never become true magicians in their lifetime.]
Xiaoqi answered calmly.
“Cultivators focus more on resonating with the heavens and earth, absorbing spiritual energy into their own bodies. At the same time, cultivators also generate spiritual energy to nourish the heavens and earth during cultivation. We use our own power, so spells do not need to be chanted; they come from the heart.”
Xu Milu suddenly remembered the contents of the books Sun Wukong had left her, and her eyes lit up the more she thought about them:
"Magic, in essence, is a communication between humans and gods or 'rules,' borrowing the power of the gods. Because they don't use their own power, they must chant before casting spells, which is why it's incredibly difficult for a mage to level up. Meanwhile, when a cultivator's power accumulates to a certain level, it will attract a tribulation of lightning, if..."
She couldn't help but gasp, feeling as if she had touched some incredible boundary:
"I haven't passed the tribulation of transforming from a fledgling phoenix into a luan bird yet. If I regard my cultivation as magical power and start cultivating spells in the same way as cultivating magic from now on, does that mean I can unleash twice my power at the same time?"
The lotus root human has no cultivation, so if the physical body is powerful, the lotus root human is powerful, and vice versa.
If she uses her physical body to cultivate spells and the lotus root person to cultivate magic, then the enemy will not be facing just one Xu Milu, but two Xu Milus.
Xu Milu thought about it more and more and it made sense, and she couldn't wait to try it out right now.
Her long analysis nearly crashed the system; even the normally flat electronic voice started to vibrate slightly.
[However, host, as far as I know, you do not worship any god in this world. Host, don't forget, your original body's ascension tribulation has not yet been completed. If you were to worship a god, the corresponding phoenix ascension tribulation belonging to the host would be transferred to that god.]
That's the tribulation of a phoenix! What kind of foolish god would accept you as a believer?!
—Unless you've lived too long and are courting death.
"yes."
Xu Milu took a bite of the bread in her hand, her eyes brightening even more. Her delicate face was filled with youthful ambition, and deep within her soul, an endless wildfire seemed to be burning.
"Then I'll create a god."
She paused for a moment, her tone slow but incredibly firm:
"Xiao Qi, I want to become a god. I believe in myself."
Xu Milu has rarely returned to her original form during this period, as she has been avoiding the tribulation lightning for advancing to the next level. Although she benefited from the attack by Lavinia and her cultivation level increased dramatically, according to the records, the tribulation lightning for advancing to the next level of the Phoenix Clan is not just a random lightning strike.
—That was truly the pain of being skinned, having tendons pulled out, having bones chopped off, and having marrow extracted.
"As my cultivation level increases, I can even create ten, a hundred, or a thousand lotus root alt accounts. This is where the advantage of creating alt accounts comes in. Even if Lavinia launches a sudden attack, as long as he can't kill all my lotus root alt accounts at the same time, I can survive and kill him."
Xu Milu touched her chin and said with unusual seriousness:
“If he can’t kill me, I will kill him.”
[...]
The system unexpectedly froze, and a line of garbled text appeared on the blue system panel.
What's this?
Do I believe in myself?!
"Ren Qingluan" and "Xu Milu" are actually the same person. She uses her main body to cultivate magic power and then uses her clone to become a god and withstand the tribulation. She really treats cultivation as a brick, which can be moved wherever needed.
【？？？？】
【？？？？】
And what happened?
Weren't we just discussing whether the bread tasted good or not?
Xiaoqi fell completely silent, not understanding why the topic had jumped from a piece of white bread to "becoming a god".
