Xie Zhou glanced irritably at the image of the boy waving a white fan in his mind, and snatched the illusion stone.
"I've never heard of cultivators being able to directly absorb the energy of illusion stones. The energy in these illusion stones is extremely mixed and uneven; it's common for one to suffer from qi deviation if they're not careful!"
Xie Zhou rolled his eyes.
"Do you think I come into this world knowing nothing, so you're trying to fool me?"
Xie Zhou put the illusion stone in her hand into her pocket. Although she was now far away from the area affected by the sword energy, she was really exhausted.
The scenery in front of her became increasingly blurry, and Xie Zhou felt a little sleepy. She felt like she needed to lie down and take a nap.
"Can you trust me just this once, just this once?"
The system boy was getting anxious. He closed his white fan and was now jumping around anxiously in Xie Zhou's mind.
"Xie Zhou, don't you know what kind of person you are? Do you really think you're some kind of immortal cultivator just because you're in the Sword Sect?" the system boy said irritably.
"Your constitution is special; you don't need to cultivate according to the local people's methods. This is the cheat code I'm giving you! Did you hear that? The cheat code!"
The system kept shouting at Xie Zhou.
However, Xie Zhou was too weak at this moment. She gently closed her eyes, and when she tried to open them again, she felt as if her eyelids weighed a ton.
Darkness, endless darkness, relentlessly swallowed Xie Zhou.
"Xie Zhou! Even though I don't like you at all, don't go to sleep! Now is not the time to sleep!"
The system was still yelling, but Xie Zhou was clearly out of energy.
I can no longer hear what the system is saying.
Xie Zhou's consciousness completely fell into chaos.
"Damn it, this host is absolutely stubborn and won't listen to advice!"
The system is just a system; it has no way to control what the host's body does. At this moment, Xie Zhou's life force is constantly draining away.
If this continues, Xie Zhou will really die!
However, at this moment of extreme anxiety, the evil spirits, a group of cowardly bullies, came to Xie Zhou's side.
Weak people are what evil spirits love most, and Xie Zhou at this moment is, in the eyes of evil spirits, a mouthwatering meal.
"Yes, that's it! Why are these evil spirits taking so long? Hurry up and come over here!"
The system watched as the evil spirits outside cowered in fear, not daring to approach Xie Zhou's body, and began to curse.
Finally, a demon spirit came to Xie Zhou's side.
Xie Zhou had already lost consciousness and was naturally unable to move. Seeing that this was not a trap, the evil spirits all came to Xie Zhou's side, ready to enjoy the meal.
"Yes, yes, that's it, come over here quickly."
The system is all smiles now; with these evil spirits, there's a way.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea...
Xie Zhou felt warm all over, as if he were sleeping on a soft, sun-dried quilt, or as if he were wrapped in a transparent medium. That feeling of freedom and comfort emanated from within.
"Xie Zhou! Xie Zhou, wake up right now! Hurry up! Now is not the time to sleep, Xie Zhou!"
The system kept calling out to Xie Zhou's consciousness, trying to make him wake up directly.
"Um?"
Xie Zhou twitched his fingers slightly and his eyelashes fluttered slightly.
The sunlight shone brightly on Xie Zhou's eyes, so dazzling that it felt like a dream. Xie Zhou slowly shielded his eyes from the sunlight with his arm.
"How...how did I get here?" Xie Zhou had just woken up and was still a little confused.
"Xie Zhou, hurry up! Your senior brother Luo Fantian is still waiting for you to save him!"
An urgent voice came from Xie Zhou's mind.
"Luo Fantian? Ah, right..."
Xie Zhou carefully observed the scenery around him. There were broken tree branches next to him, and the bloodstains on the soil were still fresh, having flowed from her body.
"I'm all better? What happened? How could this be..."
"Strange, how did you become like this?" The little figure conjured by the system had become a bit more ethereal, with a somewhat floating appearance, making it even more unreal.
"It's you?"
Xie Zhou figured out what was going on after a moment's thought.
"If it weren't for that evil spirit that came up to you just now, you'd probably be a corpse by now."
The system spoke to Xie Zhou in an annoyed tone.
Xie Zhou felt a warmth in his heart: "You really saved me, thank you."
Xie Zhou smiled slightly, also sensing the unusual sensation in his body.
She had grown taller, her body brimming with strength, her arms slender and fair, her long, black hair casually draped over her shoulders. Combined with the white dress she wore, she looked absolutely stunning.
"Hurry up, I can't urge you any further! If you trust me, absorb that illusion stone on you. It will allow you to maintain your current state for longer, so I won't have to worry so much about any danger you encounter."
The system's voice sounded somewhat tired.
In fact, what the system was trying to say was that if any danger were to arise again, it would be unable to help. It had expended a lot of energy to rescue Xie Zhou this time, and if it were to do it again in a short period of time, not only would the system be disobeyed and eliminated.
Even Xie Zhou was no exception.
Strangely, Xie Zhou did not refute what the system said this time. She sat cross-legged on the ground where she had just been, holding the illusory stone that was slightly glowing with purple light in her hand.
What should I do?
Xie Zhou sent a query to the system.
"Close your eyes, concentrate, and I'll help you with the rest."
The system let out a long sigh, and Xie Zhou could see the melancholy on its face.
So the system can transform into this human form, which seems pretty good.
It seems he's not so angry anymore that he used 500 points to exchange for a skin.
"good."
Xie Zhou gently agreed.
The system was a little apprehensive. Xie Zhou seemed like a different person after waking up, and he didn't refute anything at all.
"Shall I begin?" the system asked.
"Okay, you can begin."
Xie Zhou said something.
"Then I'll really begin!"
The system asked again, seemingly disbelieving that Xie Zhou could be so obedient.
"Start, start, hurry up and start! Don't you still need Luo Fantian? If we run out of time and Luo Fantian gets eaten, don't blame me."
Xie Zhou sighed softly.
Time passed quickly this time; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the purple illusion stone in Xie Zhou's hand turned into a pile of purple powder and drifted away in the wind.
"It turns out, I really am different from them."
My body has become stronger.
