Chapter 5: I wonder what the evil cultivator, the White-robed Sword Immortal, is practicing...
No one knew what kind of martial arts the evil cultivator was practicing. Gusts of cold wind and dark smoke like dark clouds swirled around him as he attacked the immortal in white. One could vaguely see several pairs of dark eyes hidden inside, and evil and murderous auras were rushing towards him.
Xu Hui smelled the strong smell of blood and almost vomited. She quickly covered her mouth to avoid making any noise and alerting the two people in the air.
The immortal in white stood on the sword, suspended in the air. The wind blew his clothes, making a rustling sound, but his figure did not move at all.
He clasped his hands together and shot out beams of white light, like sword energy, but it was not sword energy, nor did it seem to be any kind of magic. It was like air, penetrating into the black fog and clearing it away in an instant.
"Ah!" A sharp and piercing scream was heard, which hurt the eardrums and made the mind lose consciousness.
In an instant, Xu Hui felt that she was surrounded by ghosts. The flowers, plants and trees around her became gloomy and terrifying, as if they had grown fangs and pounced on her.
She was so frightened that her whole body stiffened and she was speechless for a moment.
[Quickly shut your ears! This is a mental attack. If you listen too much, you'll lose your mind!] the system shouted anxiously.
But how could Xu Hui, a cultivator who had not yet entered the sect, possibly break free from the spiritual pollution of the evil Jindan cultivator?
The system had no choice but to use the points to buy a pair of earplugs that could block out all bad sounds without affecting normal communication with others.
These earplugs are worth a full ten points, which means that Xu Hui still owes eight points, but there is nothing she can do about it, saving her life is the most important thing.
With the earplugs, she regained consciousness. When she looked up, she met a pair of eyes as cold as glass, and was immediately frightened.
[Host, don't panic. You have a breath-suppressing talisman, so they won't be able to detect your presence.]
"Are you sure? But that monk has been looking at me," Xu Hui didn't even bother to admire the monk's stunning appearance at this moment. She always felt that those clear eyes seemed to see through everything.
【Host, don't worry, he can't see you. 】
Since the system said so, Xu Hui believed it for the time being. When she looked up again, the white-robed monk had already looked away and continued to fight the evil cultivator at a leisurely pace.
Xu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and then marveled in her heart that there was such a handsome man in the world.
Her face is like snow, white as jade, her facial features are deep, her eyes are like cold stars, her temperament is cold and endless, and the cold light flows like the bright moon and the mountain breeze, soothing and gentle. It is not the extreme coldness, but a kind of careless coldness and indifference, detached from the world, and independent of the world.
This is probably the most consistent with Xu Hui's fantasy of immortals, floating in the air, without a trace of worldly air, but not too cold and lacking warmth.
However, the immortal's attack was fierce and he mercilessly threw out a white flame. When it came into contact with the black fog, it instantly grew stronger and swept away the turbid air.
This time, Xu Hui could not hear the shrill howling of ghosts and wolves, but she could see the distorted faces of people in the black fog, as if they were in extreme pain and their souls were dissipating.
But it was only for a moment. The next second, the sky became clear and all the black fog disappeared.
The evil cultivator was severely injured and looked at him with resentment, "I told you not to meddle in other people's business. Go to hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful spiritual weapon rushed towards the white-robed monk. As it approached, it instantly broke into pieces, and with a loud bang, it flattened the entire mountain in an instant.
Xu Hui was glad that she did not reach the top of the mountain, otherwise the defensive talisman would not be able to withstand the power of the spiritual weapon's self-detonation.
I wonder what happened to that monk in white?
She naturally hoped that the white-robed monk would win. Since everyone wanted to kill the evil monks, their methods were actually vicious. They would use the flesh and blood and souls of innocent monks and civilians to practice or refine magical weapons.
They don't even have a purpose. They just want to kill people for fun because they are unhappy. In short, they are evil and have committed all kinds of crimes.
This evil cultivator has grown to his current state and has killed countless people. He must be eliminated!
Obviously, the cultivator thought so too. At the moment of the explosion, a sharp sword pierced into the evil cultivator's body. Blood spurted out along with black air, and he was seriously injured.
As for the monk in white, after the explosion, he still stood firmly on the flying sword, his clothes were not messy at all, not even a wrinkle.
It was a robe with excellent defense. The self-explosion of the spiritual weapon did not cause him any harm, but the evil cultivator was seriously injured and was on the verge of death.
Xu Hui suddenly felt something was wrong. The Jindan cultivator described in the book was clearly fighting back and forth with the evil cultivator. After several rounds of mutual testing, the cultivator relied on his many treasures and was able to barely kill the evil cultivator with his sword.
But the monk himself was also seriously injured, and it was definitely not as relaxing as it is now.
Now it was almost a crushing defeat. The monk in white remained calm and didn't even change his position. Not to mention being injured, even his hair wasn't messed up. But the evil cultivator was already seriously injured. Another sword strike would kill him.
Is this normal?
Xu Hui couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the novel. Could it be a butterfly effect?
But that's impossible. She's just a cannon fodder and a spectator. What influence can she have?
The male protagonist Lei Hong has to wait for someone to rescue him, which is even more impossible.
Is it a deviation caused by the fusion of the novel world?
It's not impossible. The novel with Zhong Xinyue and Zhong Lingyue as the background, and the novel with Lei Hong as the background, are both set in the world of cultivation, but the settings are very different. Changes after the fusion are... normal, right?
I just don't know how stubborn the plot is. If a little change can cause a chain reaction, then she might as well find a place to stay and not get involved.
If there is a plot, she can take the opportunity to do something, pick up some bargains or something, like this time.
If she was changed beyond recognition from the beginning, she, a useless person, would have no plot to rely on. It would be better for her to stay away from these protagonists and rely on the system to upgrade and cultivate immortality. The variables represent great dangers and there may not be any opportunities.
After all, with her cannon fodder physique, it is impossible for her to get lucky and get something for free.
While he was frowning and thinking, the system suddenly reminded him, [The Bu Tian Zhi has produced fruit! ]
Xu Hui suddenly looked up and saw a white light shot out from the white-robed monk, and the evil cultivator died immediately.
At the same time, he pinched his fingers to trap the escaped evil cultivator's soul. No matter how it cursed angrily or begged, he remained unmoved. Flashes of golden light appeared, and the black air and blood in the soul spread. When they disappeared, the soul was also shattered.
The next second, he quickly rushed into the cave, obviously heading for the Bu Tian Zhi fruit.
Xu Hui suddenly became nervous and looked forward to the result.
She didn't know what result to expect. Would it be better if the plot changed, or should it continue to follow the plot and let Lei Hong get the advantage?
In short, she was in an extremely complicated mood and didn't even bother to think about how to pick the fruits next.
[The Bu Tian Zhi is mature!] the system announced.
"System, who got it?" Xu Hui asked nervously.
[…It’s the male protagonist Lei Hong] The system voice is weird.
"Why?" The cultivator is a golden elixir, and Lei Hong has no cultivation at all now, so how can he still get it?
The system paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Lei Hong was seriously injured. A Jindan cultivator was treating him. As soon as Lei Hong regained consciousness, he pounced on the cultivator, mistaking him for an evil cultivator, as if he wanted to die together. The cultivator, being tidy, took a few steps back. He happened to pounce on the Bu Tian Zhi fruit and swallowed it in one gulp."
"..." It's hard to judge, "So did the male protagonist do it on purpose, or was it unintentional?"
They didn't take the treasure first and took the trouble to save you. But you said you were dazzled and took away the precious Bu Tian Zhi. This doesn't seem like an unintentional act at all.
The system didn't comment, only saying, "Quick, the monk has taken Lei Hong away. Let's go get the Bu Tian Zhi branches."
Xu Hui looked up and saw the flying sword soaring into the sky. The white-robed immortal monk looked down and happened to meet her eyes.
Xu Hui: ...
Here it comes again, here it comes again, this illusion of being seen through, so are the system's guarantees reliable?
Fortunately, the next second, the monk looked away, and the flying sword disappeared into the sky so quickly that it caught everyone off guard.
Xu Hui withdrew her gaze. An inexplicable panic made her stay where she was for a long time. No matter how the system urged her, she did not leave this hiding place.
After waiting for half an hour and seeing that the monk still hadn't returned, he felt relieved and headed towards the cave.
Following the instructions, he found the only Ganoderma lucidum that gave birth to the Bu Tian Zhi Fruit. His fingers flew up and down, making strange hand gestures, mobilizing the little spiritual power in the original body and injecting it into the Ganoderma lucidum.
After a while, a brilliant light flashed, and the Ganoderma lucidum slowly left the ground and automatically flew into her hands.
This is the hand gesture for taking medicine that Xu Hui practiced countless times in the learning space, spending 8 points, and finally succeeded in.
During these two days and three nights, her hands were almost cramped from practicing, and she was finally able to ensure that she could completely remove the branches of the Bu Tian Zhi with the support of limited spiritual power.
It didn't need to be so troublesome, since she couldn't even practice Qi now. Even if she was at the first level of Qi practice, she could use her spiritual power to wrap the Ganoderma lucidum and pick it perfectly.
But she had only just entered the beginner stage, and the spiritual power in her body was pitifully small. She could only transform the little spiritual power she had into silk threads to wrap around the Ganoderma lucidum and lift it off the ground.
When she finally took it off, she was exhausted, sweating profusely, and felt weak all over.
But in order to prevent the effect of the medicine from dissipating, she forced herself to sit cross-legged, put the Ganoderma lucidum into her mouth, ate it bite by bite, and then meditated to refine it.
Her movements were natural and normal, but to outsiders, they looked very strange.
Yes, without Xu Hui’s knowledge, the white-robed monk came back.
As early as when Xu Hui went up the mountain, he had a vague premonition, but he couldn't see anyone. He used his spiritual sense to check, but found nothing unusual.
But he always believed in his feelings, so he pretended to leave and then came back invisibly to see what this person was lurking here and what he wanted to do.
However, what was unexpected was that the branches of the Bu Tian Zhi were picked perfectly without leaking any spiritual energy, which was truly amazing.
Because Xu Hui's breath-suppressing talisman was still outdated, he couldn't see how she did it, but as an alchemist, he knew how incredible this skill was.
It is extremely difficult for others to retain 40% to 50% of the medicinal properties of herbs when they are collected and planted.
Some of them even lose all their spiritual power as soon as they leave the ground, such as this Bu Tian Zhi. You need to keep watch over it and start refining the elixir as soon as it matures.
However, this kind of natural treasure often grows in dangerous places, or is guarded by ferocious beasts. Refining the elixir requires concentration and cannot be disturbed. Moreover, there is not underground fire everywhere in the suburbs, so it is extremely difficult to make the elixir.
Over the past ten thousand years, the number of people who could make pills in this way could be counted on one hand, and he was one of them.
But this doesn't mean that he likes to travel around the world looking for medicinal plants to make elixirs. He has no other choice!
But the person in front of him was able to obtain the medicine perfectly. If this were to be leaked, it would definitely cause an uproar!
He narrowed his eyes, sent a stream of spiritual power in the direction of Xu Hui, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Xu Hui was completely unaware of all this, and didn't even know that her secret had been exposed. The system was indeed unreliable!
