Chapter 96: Strategies to Conquer the Evil God
The two men arrived at Linxian Town. Because Yan Hengyu possessed the Sun Spirit Root, and he could use the spiritual power of Changwu Peak at will, his cultivation progressed very quickly, and he reached the Nascent Soul Stage in a short period of time.
However, Fu Ning only had natural spiritual roots, and his cultivation had not made much progress in recent times. Even with his own heavenly grade alchemy furnace, he could only barely refine low-grade elixirs in the world of cultivation.
She instructed: "The pills I made are of no use to you now. I will ask Wang Minglu to make some pills for you, so that you can leave Changwu Peak within a hundred years."
"Okay." Yan Hengyu looked at her gently, "Will you come back?"
Fu Ning paused, opened his mouth, and finally said, "I will come back, but I may not live here for long."
Yan Hengyu had no complaints: "I understand. I will try my best to catch up with you."
Seeing him constantly giving in for her, Fu Ning felt a little sorry. If he kept regarding her as his life goal, he would be disappointed sooner or later. She recalled the task list she had asked him to write before and asked, "Besides taming Lu Wu, what else do you want to do?"
Yan Hengyu took a moment to realize what she was talking about. It was just a task he wanted to complete in order to please her and follow the Immortal Master's wishes. He accurately stated the examples Fu Ning had given him at the time, "There is also learning a set of swordsmanship, refining an elixir..."
Fu Ning pulled him back to the Sutra Library of Changwu Peak and took out a sword technique suitable for Yuanying period cultivators. "You study according to this. I will come back to check regularly."
She also knew in her heart that apart from staying by her side, Yan Hengyu still hadn't found his life direction. She hoped that he could find the meaning of his life and what he truly loved through constant attempts.
——
Wang Minglu didn't know how to tell Nanny Zhang about Song Jinghe's situation, but she said that Fu Ning didn't need to bury him, and she would go to Lizhou herself.
It seems that in the eyes of this old man, she does not admit that she is Song Jinghe's daughter-in-law. Fu Ning was not too sad. She still learned the address of Song Jinghe's hometown in Lizhou from Wang Minglu.
During this period, Shen Qingning and Song Zhizhi came to Changwu Peak to find Fu Ning separately. They both learned about Song Jinghe's death, but neither of them blamed Fu Ning. Instead, they comforted her at the same time.
I don’t know why, but precisely because no one blamed her, she felt a little sad for Song Jinghe, as if no one really cared about him.
Fu Ning didn't think about it any further. She stayed in Changwu Peak for a day and picked a few Xiling herbs that she had grown and put them into her storage bag.
Yan Hengyu naturally noticed it, appeared beside her and asked, "Do you want to continue refining the Spirit Cleansing Pill?"
"Yes, spiritual roots alone are not enough." Fu Ning said.
Yan Hengyu said: "I will protect you."
Fu Ning thought about Chong Shan who was waiting for him in the human world, and didn't want to stay too long, so he shook his head and said, "I'll go to the human world to refine it."
Yan Hengyu lowered his eyelids to hide the disappointment in his eyes, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "I heard from Minglu that you went to the demon world."
Fu Ning asked casually, "What's wrong?"
There was worry in Yan Hengyu's eyes, but he kept his head down so Fu Ning wouldn't notice. "Did you go to see... the evil god?"
He did not hear Fu Ning's denial, so Yan Hengyu understood. Five hundred years ago, after he took care of the Immortal Lord's daily life, he was shocked to find that the evil god always sneaked into the Immortal Lord's bedroom at night and sat beside her bed watching her sleep. At first, he thought that the Immortal Lord did not notice it and even reminded her. Later, he found out that the Immortal Lord had always condoned this behavior.
So even if the cultivation world and the demon world were both defeated, he knew that the evil god had a very important position in the Immortal Lord's heart.
Fu Ning saw Yan Hengyu hanging his head and looking depressed, not knowing what he was thinking, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, practice sword skills well, and you can go and learn from Wang Minglu when you have time, his sword skills are really too poor."
Yan Hengyu nodded obediently, and Fu Ning gave him a few more instructions seriously, then rode Xiaoya back to the capital of the human world.
When she returned to the inn where she had agreed to stay with Chongshan, she found that Chongshan's room had been occupied by someone else, so she grabbed a waiter.
The waiter almost immediately pulled out a note from the front desk and said, "The customer specifically asked me to give you this note if you come."
Fu Ning opened it and saw that Chongshan had written on it that he had suddenly encountered a matter of life and death that needed to be dealt with, and would be away for two days, and he also wrote down the day he would be back, which was tomorrow. He didn't mention what the specific matter was. I don't know if it involved the demon world and it was inconvenient to mention it.
Fu Ning booked a room in this inn and waited for Chongshan to come back, so he could use this day to refine the elixir.
She stayed in the room for a whole day and finally refined a low-grade cleansing spirit pill. She was not in a hurry to eat it and prepared to wait for Chongshan to come back to protect her.
A familiar voice suddenly popped up in my mind, "Boss! I'm back, did you miss me?"
Fu Ning was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, resting, and he casually said "hmm".
The little system felt aggrieved, "It's been so long since we last met, and you still treat me perfunctorily."
"I'm just tired." Fu Ning explained and asked, "Did you bring me any news?"
The system said excitedly: "Not only did I install the latest version of antivirus software this time, but I also solved a big problem!"
Fu Ning said lazily: "My 50,000 points."
"That's right!" the system said, "The host has selected the most suitable character to play the villain and allocated these 50,000 points to the new villain. We can conquer him again!"
Fu Ning had a bad feeling in his heart, "New villain? Who is it?"
The system said, "Isn't it obvious? Of course it's the evil god! Now his favorability is also worth 50,000 points. Boss, we will take down the evil god this time!"
Fu Ning was a little confused. She said, "Isn't it possible to see Chongshan's favorability?"
The system said, "I have asked other senior systems about this. They told me that there are minerals in the mission world that can block signals naturally. I suspect that the item worn by the evil god blocked my signal, so I cannot receive his favorability."
Fu Ning said "Oh" and nothing more happened. The system thought the host had fallen asleep. Unexpectedly, after a while, Fu Ning said, "I don't want to conquer Chongshan. Forget it."
The host has been feeling negative recently, and the system understands this. After all, no one can accept the sudden unexpected problems when the goal is about to be achieved. It patiently helps the host adjust his mindset, "Boss, you still have to achieve your goal. We can't be defeated by temporary difficulties."
Fu Ning said, "No, everyone else can do it, but Chongshan can't."
The small system was puzzled. "Why? Don't you have a past relationship? It will definitely be easier to capture him. Maybe after you find the blocker on him, his favorability will be maxed out! Why don't you just waste the points?"
Fu Ning thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to use him."
When looking for a strategy, people always care about the points and ignore the living people in front of them. She didn't have any feelings for other people, but Chongshan was different. They did have good moments together, so she couldn't convert those feelings into cold numbers.
Fu Ning scratched his head, turned over, and said again: "Since I can't see his points, forget it."
The system still wanted to persuade the host, but judging from the host's appearance, it was obvious that the host was not going to listen to its advice, so it shut its mouth and stopped talking. It decided to bring up this matter often in the future, in order to subtly change the host's mind.
——
Chongshan did not come back until the evening of the next day. He did not tell him where he had been, and Fu Ning did not ask. He just told him that he was going to take the Spirit Cleansing Pill and asked him to keep watch for him.
Chongshan's expression immediately became serious, "Why do you still need to take it?"
Fu Ning gave him a strange look, "Still? How do you know I've taken it?"
Chongshan's eyes flickered, "I am in the Mahayana stage, so I can naturally see it."
Fu Ning did not delve into it, "My natural spiritual roots are too poor, I can only slowly improve the quality of my spiritual roots by taking the Spirit Cleansing Pill."
Although Chongshan was worried, he knew that Fu Ning's goal was to kill Shen Hengfeng herself, and she had to become stronger, so he would not stop her.
He asked, "Can I stay in the house with you?"
"Sure." Fu Ning said, "Don't worry, the toxicity of my spirit-cleansing grass has been reduced to a very low level."
Although she said so, she still underestimated the power of the low-grade Soul Cleansing Pill. Less than half an incense stick of time after taking the pill, she vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Chongshan looked at her helplessly. He wanted to supply her with spiritual power, but was afraid of causing disorder in her body's spiritual energy. He could only sit beside her anxiously. It was not until Fu Ning fell to the side that he quickly caught her and held her in his arms.
Fu Ning rested her head on Chongshan's chest. She felt very weak, but the feeling in her dantian was unusually wonderful. It was not like her previous sun spiritual root which brought lasting warmth. She could not even feel the existence of the spiritual root. Now she herself did not even know what spiritual root she had.
She struggled to get up and take a spirit stone to try. Chongshan seemed to know what she was thinking. A spirit stone appeared in his palm and he said, "Try it."
Fu Ning nestled in his arms as usual. She took the spirit stone and felt inexplicably at peace in her heart. She transferred her spiritual power into it, but there was nothing on the spirit stone. It was still clear and transparent.
She was stunned. She had only seen this situation in ancient books. It was said that only the Chaos Spirit Root could keep the spirit stone transparent and flawless.
Rumor has it that the Chaos Spirit Root has no attributes and is stronger than the Sun and Moon Spirit Roots. It can absorb spiritual power of any attributes and use it for itself, so one can practice naturally at any time and in any place without any hassle. People who possess Chaos Spiritual Roots not only improve their cultivation by leaps and bounds, but also have no upper limit and will hardly encounter any bottlenecks.
However, whether five hundred years ago or now, there has never been a cultivator with chaotic spiritual roots.
Fu Ning was a little excited. She didn't expect that she would become such a rare spiritual root.
Chongshan had obviously heard of the Chaos Spiritual Root. He was so happy that he gently stroked Fu Ning's hair and said, "Don't just be happy. Take a good rest first."
Fu Ning was indeed extremely tired. She quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep. Since she stopped buying the [Maintain the Status Quo] props, she hardly ever entered the spirit house.
Chongshan hugged Fu Ning and looked at her sleeping face carefully. He felt extremely satisfied. He could finally stay by her side openly, even if it was just for a few short days.
