A few days later.
Inside the Shuaijue Renhuan Sect, the afternoon sun lazily shone down, casting a "warm" glow on the hilltop that seemed to say, "Let's just make do, what else can we do?"
Inside the alchemy room, Xiao Jingrui carefully controlled the fire of the new alchemy furnace, his face radiating an unprecedented confidence.
The debt of 300,000 high-grade spirit stones has dissipated, he has the formula for the Seven Apertures Exquisite Pill in hand, and a bunch of auxiliary spirit herbs brought back by his junior sister that are of frighteningly good quality, making him want to hug them and sleep with them...
He felt his mind was completely clear, and all the previously blocked energy channels were suddenly opened!
He could even feel the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage frantically flirting with him!
This time, he's definitely going to succeed!
Once you reach the Nascent Soul stage...
A sharp glint flashed in the man's eyes, and the fire-controlling spells he used were imbued with a murderous intent.
Once he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the first thing he'll do is kick open the door to Xie Linyuan's cave!
Go inside and dance on those fancy white jade coffee tables he uses for showing off!
Rolling around on that ancient, cold jade bed!
He wants to gallop, he wants to leap and bound!
He wants to make up for all the years of exploitation, the youth he sacrificed, and the blood and tears he shed!
Why didn't that damn lunatic say he was rich sooner!
He wasted several years of my youth!
He said he owned a mine long ago!
If I had known he was rolling in money, would I have bothered to work so hard to earn those meager amounts of spirit stones, losing clumps of hair and almost prematurely entering a mid-life crisis in my cultivation?!
Pooh!
What a heartless rich bastard!
...
On the other side, inside the Gu room.
Wan Qianqiu, with his stunningly beautiful face, was staring intently at a specially made Gu jar.
By sheer coincidence, he recently spent a fortune to purchase a small batch of mysterious Gu eggs, which are said to be from an ancient, exotic species.
According to the rogue cultivator who sold the eggs, once this Gu is refined, it is impervious to swords and spears, water and fire, and can do anything from flying to flying to the ground. It can be called the fighting Gu among Gu!
Most importantly, the rogue cultivator added mysteriously and with a wink, "Fellow Daoist, once this Gu worm is refined, it has two antennae on its head that wiggle... hehe, it's both eerie and cute~"
Wan Qianqiu became more and more excited as she thought about it, and the movements of her hands infusing spiritual energy became even gentler.
He could almost see thousands upon thousands of adorable little Gu worms, glossy and smooth, with two lively whiskers on their heads, six thin legs, and wings that made a "rustling" sound, forming an invincible steel torrent, and wreaking havoc on the sect competition while simultaneously adorably killing their opponents!
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!
...
Outside the weapon-refining room.
Murong Xiao followed closely behind Qin Zhenzhen, his voice trailing off: "Senior Sister Zhenzhen~ My best and most powerful senior sister in the whole world~ Please have mercy and help me refine one~"
"I want a rope similar to the 'Binding Immortal Rope,' but one that can be stretched and adjusted in length!"
"It would be best to hang two golden bells on the rope, so they would jingle and clang when moved!"
Qin Zhenzhen was engrossed in studying the nearby thunderclouds. Upon hearing this, she didn't even look up and said irritably, "What do you need that thing for? You don't need a bell for fighting. Are you trying to summon a spirit?"
Murong Xiao blushed, his eyes darting around, his fingers twisting the hem of his clothes: "Well... it has a special use..."
He paused, then looked around furtively to make sure no one was around before leaning closer and lowering his voice to add, "And... Senior Sister, you absolutely have to help me carefully wrap the end of the rope that touches my skin with the finest red satin!"
"It has to be the softest kind, absolutely not rough!"
Qin Zhenzhen raised her head suspiciously, looking her junior brother up and down, whose face was flushed red: "???"
no?
What exactly do you want to do?
Murong Xiao felt extremely uncomfortable under Qin Zhenzhen's gaze, and mumbled in a barely audible whisper, "...My brother...his wrists and ankles are so delicate, I'm afraid...afraid that ordinary ropes will chafe them...leaving red marks would be...not good..."
Qin Zhenzhen: "..."
Qin Zhenzhen's pupils dilated in shock. There's...this kind of play?!
Over the next two days, Shen Zhaozhao inexplicably noticed that her senior sister Zhenzhen was looking at her strangely, glancing at her wrists and ankles from time to time with a very complicated expression...
It gave her the creeps.
...
That night.
A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and robbery... no, it's the perfect time for inner demons to come out on their own.
A semi-transparent, ethereal shadow silently hovered above the mountain peak of the Handsome Man Sect.
It was shrouded in a faint gray mist, and wherever it passed, even the chirping of insects became quieter, exuding an inexplicable sense of gloom.
This is the Bewitching Immortal Lord under the command of the Yellow Springs Netherworld Path, who is in charge of distributing inner demons and assessing KPIs.
At this moment, the newly appointed and clearly inexperienced Immortal Lord of Bewitching Hearts was staring at the misty work guide in his hand, titled "The Manual for Casting Heart Demons," and was so worried that his soul was about to fall apart.
The "Inner Demon Release Manual" describes tonight's field mission in a very concise and to-the-point manner.
Location: The most handsome man in the world.
Objective: To release inner demons.
Note: Golden Core stage cultivator.
Looking down at the mountain with only five people below, and then at the blurry instructions on the book, the Bewitching Immortal Lord felt utterly disoriented.
"Wait... how come there are three Golden Core cultivators on one mountain with a total of five people?!"
"Is this some kind of classic detective storyline with its three-choice question?!"
"It doesn't even say who I should unleash this inner demon on?!"
The Bewitching Immortal Lord paced around abruptly twice, attempting to connect to the Yellow Springs Netherworld's internal network to query detailed information, but his divine sense was immediately repelled as soon as it reached out—
[Note: Our internal query system is currently under maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.]
Bewitching Immortal Lord: "..."
I can't stand working this lousy class anymore!
However, thinking about the riverside villa on the banks of the Sanzu River in the Underworld that he had just bought with a loan, the Bewitching Immortal Lord felt that he could actually hold on a little longer.
As the saying goes, no working person is immune to making mistakes. The immortal lord scratched his head in frustration, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the three figures below who were emitting faint golden core-stage light.
The manual didn't specify how many votes to submit, so the Bewitching Immortal Lord steeled himself and decided to go all in—
Since we're all going to reach the Golden Core stage anyway, we'll have to go through this sooner or later, so there's no better time than now!
He rubbed his hands together abruptly, forgetting all about precise targeting and personalized KPIs. He swung his arm wide, aimed at the three gleaming targets below, and with all his might, joined two fingers together—
"Go! Get everyone on the same page! One for each of you! Nobody grabbing, nobody complaining about not having enough!"
Go have some fun!
Let the light of inner demons illuminate this broken mountain!
His job position! His loans! His riverside villa mortgage must not be missed!
