Wan Jiao asked Qi Mingyu, "What do you mean by 'half'?"
Qi Mingyu scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "It's just that I can't succeed every time, it's basically 50/50..."
"..." Wan Jiao sighed: This actually works?
She realized that she had been hasty.
If she had known that these four people were the same... she should have come by herself.
However, since we've brought them all here, we can't just send them back directly. That would not only offend them but also hurt their self-esteem.
After some thought, Wan Jiao decided to teach on the spot, and then put it into practice.
When she told them she was teaching them now, all four of them looked completely bewildered.
"Captain, you're not kidding, are you? That's Samadhi True Fire, it's not something you can learn so easily."
Wan Jiao blinked. "It's very simple. I knew how to do it when I was three years old."
Qi Mingyu: "..."
I've studied for over ten years and only managed to get a 50/50 score. You're telling me it's easy?
Lin Yi, Lu Heng, Ji Zitong: "..."
We've been studying this for over a decade and still haven't mastered it. Where exactly is the simplicity?
It wasn't until half an hour later, after Wan Jiao had personally taught all four of them how to use the Samadhi True Fire, that they had to admit: Samadhi True Fire is really simple.
As for why they hadn't achieved anything despite studying for over a decade, it was purely because their methods were wrong!
In short, this fully proves one fact: having a good teacher is better than anything else.
…
The cave was filled with countless Soul-Devouring Gu.
Qi Mingyu and the others felt their scalps tingle as they watched the scene.
"Captain, how many Soul-Devouring Gu are there in here?"
Wan Jiao closed her eyes, roughly sensed it, and then raised a finger.
Lin Yi: "More than ten thousand?"
Her teeth were chattering as she spoke.
Wan Jiao shook her head, "It's not ten thousand, it's one hundred thousand."
Ten thousand was already terrifying enough, but it wasn't ten thousand, it was one hundred thousand... This...
Lin Yi's body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Qi Mingyu caught her.
Wan Jiao: "Lin Yi, are you alright?"
Lin Yi gave a trembling "Mmm," and said, "I...I'm fine."
Wan Jiao: "The Samadhi True Fire needs spiritual power to support it. Don't be reckless. If it doesn't work, retreat."
In the world of metaphysics, the idea that men are stronger than women is the norm.
Lin Yi, however, was born unwilling to admit defeat. She worked hard to cultivate and joined the Special Security Bureau, all to prove to everyone that women could also make a name for themselves in the world of metaphysics.
So, fear was real, but never backing down was her final stand.
"Captain, I can do it."
…
Wan Jiao walked in front, responsible for burning most of the Soul-Devouring Gu, while Qi Mingyu and the other three followed behind her, responsible for burning the remaining ones that she missed.
Lu Heng, with his keen eyes, noticed that Wan Jiao was not using the Samadhi True Fire, but rather another kind of fire that he had never seen before, which seemed to be even more powerful than the Samadhi True Fire.
He couldn't help but lean closer to Qi Mingyu and ask in a low voice, "Mingyu, what kind of fire is that, Captain?"
Qi Mingyu had never seen it either, and gently shook his head.
Qi Mingyu didn't know, let alone Lin Yi and Ji Zitong.
Wan Jiao walked ahead and still heard Lu Heng's words behind her, but she did not give them an answer.
Because the fire she uses is called Netherworld Karmic Fire, which is her natal fire.
According to the master, she was just born when he took her to Nanshan Temple, but whenever she cried, a small ball of ghostly karmic fire would burn fiercely in her palm...
According to ancient records, the Netherworld Karmic Fire was originally a fire that only existed in the depths of the Avici Hell in the underworld. As for why it became her companion fire, perhaps only the Heavenly Dao knows.
Wan Jiao and Qi Mingyu's group of four burned over 100,000 Spirit Devouring Gu in just over an hour. And throughout it all, the evil cultivator who cultivated these Spirit Devouring Gu never appeared. Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, it's hard to say!
Back at the Special Security Bureau, Wan Jiao reported the entire Soul-Devouring Gu incident to Amber according to procedure. Amber was very satisfied and immediately approved the task, awarding Wan Jiao a bonus of 10 million.
The bonus was issued by the Special Security Bureau and was part of Wan Jiao's salary.
She dealt with the Soul-Devouring Gu incident, indirectly saving many people, and naturally gained a great deal of merit and power.
This time, I've definitely managed to get both money and good karma.
This is so awesome!
At four in the morning, Wan Jiao had just finished absorbing the power of merit, taken a shower, and was lying in bed, intending to have a good sleep, when the ancestral master's tablet fell over with a "thud".
Wan Jiao was instantly wide awake.
She hurriedly got out of bed, rushed over and respectfully lifted the memorial tablet, saying obediently, "Grand Ancestor, your disciple has been thinking about the matter of the successor all the time, and has been very concerned about it."
As she spoke, Wan Jiao yawned several times in a row, then she quickly lit three incense sticks and put them into the incense burner. "I set up a Nine Truth Tracking Array today, I'm so tired. Ancestor, I want to sleep."
The burning of the three incense sticks was quite meaningful, as if the patriarch had agreed to let Wan Jiao go to sleep.
She chuckled, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Thank you, Ancestor. Goodnight!"
Unfortunately, when Jiao lay down in bed again that night, she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Suddenly, her mind was filled with thoughts of succession.
This time, resolving the matter of the Soul-Devouring Gu has increased her merit for ascension by a full two-tenths.
Perhaps it's time to put having a baby on the agenda as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if all the merits are accumulated by then, but the child is still too young to learn anything and won't be able to support the future of Nanshan Temple, the founder might turn in his grave...
