Chapter Sixty-Five: The Professionalism of Deception



Yuan Qi withdrew his hand, thought for a moment, and replied, "The Heavenly Maiden is different from others by nature, and I am not very clear about her physique. Perhaps this is a power unique to the Heavenly Maiden. As for... your cultivation level, I cannot tell either." He originally thought she was deliberately hiding it, but now it seems that was not the case.

"Oh, I see..." Youyou was a little worried. Even the gods didn't know her cultivation level. Could it be because she was a transmigrator and the system was incompatible with her, which was why it couldn't analyze her? "Then can I cultivate spiritual energy and spells?"

“Of course you can!” Yuan Qi nodded, his expression becoming even gentler, and added in a deep voice, “Although I don’t know what the special energy in your body is, it probably won’t affect your absorption of spiritual energy. If you can use it freely and combine it with cultivation techniques, it will be no different from cultivation.”

"So... I can learn all these spells and such." You You was overjoyed.

"That's right!"

"Is it enough to just follow the instructions in the manual?" she asked again to confirm.

Yuan Qi nodded. "That's always been the case with magic."

She instantly perked up, and remembering something, quickly asked, "What about sword flight? Is it like magic?" Sword flight is an essential skill in this world; it's too inconvenient to go out without being able to fly!

"Your Excellency..." Ling Qi explained from the side, "Sword control is slightly different from other techniques. There are two types. One requires first using spiritual energy to condense a sword shape, or finding a spiritual weapon and using spiritual power to propel it to fly." Generally, the second type is used when first starting to control a sword, because condensing spiritual energy into a sword shape requires very precise control of the spiritual energy.

“Spiritual energy transforms into a sword…” You You glanced at Feng Rong, recalled the spiritual sword he had created back then, and subconsciously mobilized his spiritual energy.

"Sword control is such a trivial matter, it's not that complicated. If you want to learn, why don't you find a spirit sword first?" Feng Rong seemed to notice her gaze, raised her eyebrows, and coughed heavily, "Ahem... I do have a few good ones..."

"Is that so?" Before he could finish speaking, Youyou suddenly raised her hand. In a flash, a translucent spirit sword gleaming with a white light appeared in front of her.

Feng Rong: "..." Her hand, which was about to draw her sword, froze.

Ling Qi and the others were delighted, "As expected of His Excellency, he was able to condense a sword shape on his first attempt at using spiritual energy to create a sword!"

"It seems you have a real talent for cultivation." Yuan Qi nodded, looking at her with admiration. "It also seems you have a good grasp of spiritual power."

"So it can fly now?" Youyou glanced at the glowing little spirit sword, somewhat eager to try it out. "How far can it fly?"

“Naturally.” Ling Qi nodded. “The speed and flight time of sword flight are related to cultivation level and the spiritual energy of the sword. Since this is the first time Your Excellency has condensed a spiritual sword, you probably won’t be able to fly for very long…”

Swoosh...

Before he could finish speaking, something suddenly flashed before his eyes, shot straight into the sky, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Ling Qi: "..."

Feng Rong: "..."

Yuan Qi: "..."

metropolitan!!!!!

w(?Д?)w

Youyou, already a thousand miles away: "..."

Where...is this?

————————

Before Youyou lay a town, unlike the Shangyang City she had seen before. This town had no walls, but a semi-transparent arc covered the sky above it, with golden runes occasionally flashing across it. People came and went within the town; some walked in directly, but most flew in on swords or magical artifacts, clearly indicating that this was a town for cultivators.

Youyou looked around at everything unfamiliar, stood there for a long time, feeling a chill run down her spine. It seemed like she had... lost herself!

┌(?_?)┘

She subconsciously reached for her storage bag, hoping to find a communication talisman, but found it empty. She then remembered that she had stored too many spiritual plants in the bag before, so she had entrusted them all to Ling Qi after returning to the sect. She hadn't retrieved them yet, so she hadn't brought anything with her.

What to do?

She was a little dumbfounded, not knowing that there was a police emergency number (110) in the cultivation world.

"Fellow Daoist, have you gotten separated from your companions..." Just as she was thinking this, a male voice came from her side. Turning her head, she saw a middle-aged man smiling at her. He was dressed in a black robe and had a very upright appearance. He looked extremely righteous, but his gaze towards her revealed a hint of probing.

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to panic. I’m sure your companions are looking for you too. Why don’t I take you to the front to rest and wait for them to find you?” the man suggested. Seeing that she didn’t move, he explained, “You don’t need to worry. I am also a disciple of a reputable sect. Look, this is my spirit tablet.”

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant, on which were written the words "Imperial Immortal".

The man put away his waist token, smiled, and took two more steps closer, standing to her right. He acted as if he knew her very well, pointed ahead, and said, "Fellow Daoist, is this your first time in this city? There's a spirit ornament shop up ahead, full of spirit artifacts and ornaments crafted by weapon refiners. Why don't you go and take a look?"

"..." Youyou didn't speak, but just looked up at him.

The other party became even more enthusiastic, urging, "That shop just received a batch of new spiritual artifacts today, they'll be sold out if we wait any longer."

"..." You You remained motionless.

Something flashed in the man's eyes, and he smiled even more enthusiastically, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, the shop is right next to the main street, very close." After saying that, he reached out and tried to push her in that direction.

You You's lips twitched. She turned around, grabbed the other person's hand, and sighed, "Hey bro, do you think I look stupid and easy to fool? With your kind of scamming skills, it's a miracle you've survived this long." Can't you at least be a little more professional at lying? Pointing at an alley and calling it the main street, she's not blind!

The man's smile froze, his once handsome face twisting for a moment, becoming somewhat ferocious. "Hmph, you're quite shrewd. But once you're in my hands, you won't have a choice!" With that, he suddenly raised his hand and sprinkled something at her.

Youyou felt some powder rushing towards her face, instantly blinding her. She reflexively closed her eyes and tried to rub them.

The man sneered, grabbed her, and dragged her into a dark alley. "Hmph! You've been drugged with my bewitching incense, let's see what you can do now..."

"Hey big brother..." Before he could finish speaking, Youyou opened his eyes, wiped the powder off his face, and coughed, "Just talk, why are you throwing flour at me!"

"How could this be?!" He seemed startled, looking at her with disbelief. "You... how are you alright?"

"Is there something I should do?"

He glanced at You You, then at his own hands, looking utterly bewildered. "You were clearly under the influence of this specially made bewitching incense, something even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't resist, how could you..." He subconsciously raised his palm, still covered in powder, as if trying to confirm something, then...

Thump!

The man collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Youyou: "..."

Was she scammed?

(??_??)??
