God Weird Fairy

Chapter 406: The End of Destiny Ji Ruochen

After Ji Xiaoba ended Tang Shan's life, he dragged his body into the deep and dense forest.

The forest was dark, damp, overgrown with weeds, and filled with the smell of dead branches and rotting leaves.

He threw Tang Shan's body, along with the scattered bamboo baskets and broken shoulder poles, into the large pit that had been hastily dug earlier.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Xiaoba bent down, picked up the shovel, clenched his hands, gathered his strength, and began to fill the pit with soil.

That is to say, after practicing the immortal qi, Ji Xiaoba's strength increased greatly. Otherwise, if it were in the past, such a heavy task of digging holes and filling soil would be difficult for him to complete alone.

However, even though he had cultivated the Qi of Immortality, he was still exhausted and out of breath after all the hard work. Not only did beads of sweat ooze out of his forehead, but even his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Finally, after filling the last shovel of soil, Ji Xiaoba stepped heavily a few times to flatten and compact the soil. Then, he laboriously picked up a large bluestone and pressed it firmly on the buried place.

However, he knew in his heart that this move was just a slight cover-up. If there really was a divine detective who could see through everything and solve cases like a god, he would be able to easily find any traces here.

However, who could have expected that Tang Shan, this year's top martial arts champion who was awarded the title of "Shura", would suddenly encounter an accident and die in just half a day on his way down the mountain?

Moreover, the wilderness, far away from the city, is full of dangers and unpredictable. As long as someone is not in the city, even if someone is missing inexplicably or suspected to be dead, usually no one will investigate.

Ji Xiaoba thought to himself: As long as I don't leave any unusual traces on the way down the mountain and don't attract others to enter the forest to investigate, once I get through these few days and Junshan returns to its peace and tranquility, I won't have to worry about Tang Shan's burying of the body on Junshan being exposed to the public.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and gray fog grew, quietly covering the earth, adding a bit of eeriness to the deep and dense forest.

Ji Xiaoba quickly changed out of his disguised peddler's clothes and put back on his original clothes. Then, he found another remote place and threw away the shovel and the clothes he had taken off.

After doing all this, Ji Xiaoba did not go down the mountain, but turned around and walked back up the mountain.

The imperial court once carried out a campaign to eliminate the ferocious beasts on Junshan Mountain.

Nowadays, for the common people, Junshan is a safe place except for the need to be wary of snakes and insects.

However, after coming down the mountain is a vast wasteland full of dangers, and it is definitely not a good place.

Ji Xiaoba is not Tang Shan. He does not have the courage like Tang Shan to rely on his martial arts and dare to cross the wilderness alone at night.

In fact, most of the people who came to Junshan only dared to set out on their journey home after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was over and they left with the court team.

In short, Ji Xiaoba climbed up the mountain again and returned to the resting place he had shared with three acquaintances for the past few days.

As soon as he showed up, someone curiously asked him why he came back so late.

Ji Xiaoba looked calm and answered unhurriedly, "I met a noble man today and helped him with some physical work, so I was delayed for some time." When everyone heard this, no one was suspicious.

After eating dry food and filling his stomach, Ji Xiaoba returned to his tent. At this time, he finally had some free time and turned his attention to the voice that kept ringing in his mind.

[Kill the original host, the Zhenwu system (remnant) has been transferred, please confirm whether to activate it with the new host. 】

Ever since he killed Tang Shan, this voice has been echoing in Ji Xiaoba's mind repeatedly.

Previously, in order to take care of the aftermath, Ji Xiaoba had been forcing himself to ignore it. Now that he had time, he no longer hesitated and said to himself decisively: "Confirm!"

[The Zhenwu system (residual) has been activated and has begun to inherit the previous host's permissions. ]

[Ding, the authority has been inherited. Please keep up the good work and climb to greater heights. ]

The system prompt was very simple and not verbose at all. Ji Xiaoba calmed down and studied it carefully, and determined that he did not inherit the Zhenwu points accumulated by Tang Shan, but only inherited some permissions that he had activated before. Among them, the most important permission was the "Zhenwu Crown" module permission that Tang Shan had just activated at the cost of 10 Zhenwu points.

Feeling the mysterious sensation emerging in his mind, Ji Xiaoba understood in his heart that Tang Shan, who was about to die, had hurried down the mountain in order to find the "Crown of Zhenwu".

Ji Xiaoba was also very excited and yearned for the specific "Zhenwu Crown".

But he knew that he did not have the ability to travel across the wilderness overnight, and the matter was not urgent, so he could still hold himself back.

He turned his attention to the first task on the task panel.

[Name Correction: Please confirm the name of the Zhenwu system's luck blessing, and take the first step to prove the name of Zhenwu. 】

"No wonder Zhou Yuan, Qin Yu and other names all popped up. It turns out there is a name-changing task..." Ji Xiaoba pondered secretly, "My last name is Ji, so I don't have many good names to choose from. However, I have seized Tang Shan's opportunity and inherited the Zhenwu system. From now on, I have the hope of climbing to the peak of martial arts. It can be said that my worldly ties have ended, and transcendence is just around the corner."

"In this case, from today on, I am the banished immortal Ji Ruochen!"

Ji Ruochen whispered his new name.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt a different kind of confidence surge in his heart, as if he really had the appearance of a banished immortal.

Of course, Ji Ruochen knew in his heart that it was not so much the appearance of a banished immortal, but the confidence brought by the Zhenwu system.

In the tent, Ji Ruochen calmed down and carefully studied the various functions of the Zhenwu system.

He discovered that although the Zhenwu system was incomplete, it still contained many wonderful aspects.

Apart from the "Crown of True Martial Arts" which needs no further elaboration, the main modules are the mall module and the deduction module.

Although the mall module is not a universal mall that can even transform physical objects, it can also use Zhenwu points to purchase various one-time special magical powers to meet the needs of different occasions.

The deduction module can be simply understood as consuming Zhenwu points to add points. But in fact, for smart people, even if they don't add points, they can use the deduction module to pre-deduct without clicking to confirm.

Because Zhenwu points are never enough, it is impossible to add points infinitely.

However, preliminary deduction can play a great auxiliary role in exploring the techniques of using true Qi, and can be used to judge the difficulty or rationality of the corresponding techniques.

If a certain skill consumes a lot of points during pre-deduction, it means that this skill is either very difficult or not reasonable.

On the contrary, if the number of points required to add points is small, it means the direction is correct.

Many times, as long as you know the direction is correct, even if you don’t add points directly, you can still have obvious growth and progress through your own practice and improvement.

In short, with a deeper understanding of the Zhenwu system, Ji Ruochen was quite satisfied. After all, the system integrity was only 38% at the moment. If he could recover the system fragments from other people one by one, he would be able to activate more wonderful functional permissions.

However, before that, he had to obtain the "Crown of Zhenwu" first, so that Zhenwuzi, who was far away in other counties, would lose their vague sense of his location, thus ensuring his own secret safety.

While Ji Ruochen was thinking about his future growth plan of practicing martial arts and becoming stronger, he was also looking forward to tomorrow's ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens.

As soon as the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over, he will be able to follow the others and return to the capital behind the imperial army, and then go to see where the "Crown of Zhenwu" is placed and whether it is easy to get it.
