From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 122 Now that I've pulled out this trick, how will you respond?

A damp mist slowly spread out, and a huge human figure sat cross-legged on the ground.

It was a fat face, like a human face, but also like a pig's face, with a crazy smile on its face and uncontrollable greed in its eyes.

He held the weight of a thousand gold pieces in his hands, muttering the numbers of gold and silver, while countless arms stretched out from behind him, each hand demanding and each eye staring intently.

It's as if this is the embodiment of greed.

It has no face, no voice, and never speaks.

But as it coalesced, You Ming felt that the air around him was filled with fine mental waves, as if thousands of thoughts were talking to him at the same time.

These sounds had no tone, no direction, yet they were ubiquitous, haunting his mind.

In You Ming's mind, countless gold and silver treasures, spiritual materials and medicines, supreme cultivation techniques, magical treasures and divine weapons appeared in an instant... It was like when he played Skyrim and turned on the console, where he could freely choose all spellbooks, materials, weapons and sets.

However, You Ming's willpower is as high as 4 points, which is considered to be among the most determined among cultivation geniuses.

While these things held some appeal for him, they did not suppress his sense of danger.

Because in his view, the other party's attitude had changed from "spying" to "attacking".

Therefore, You Ming remained steadfast in his original aspirations despite the mountains and piles of treasures.

Even in the end, he regarded it as a test to temper his true nature.

The "Supreme Cavern Chaotic Divine Technique" he cultivates places the greatest emphasis on one's own mindset. Only when you possess an unwavering belief can the water lines you release possess unparalleled cutting power.

If there is even the slightest hesitation in one's heart, the water line will become thick and dull.

As You Ming's thoughts raced, a bright and radiant halo slowly began to rotate. The threads wrapped around the halo became even more crystalline and pure, and their sharpness became even more refined.

Although he didn't know the level of the evil spirit in front of him, You Ming felt that using it to hone his will was an excellent opportunity.

He could clearly feel that his inner will was constantly increasing, moving towards the number "5". Perhaps before the autumn hunt ended, his will would reach 5 points.

If that's the case, then this "Supreme Cavern Chaos Technique" can truly be invincible. With the blessing of his supreme will, anyone who touches it will die.

However, just as You Ming was trying to hone himself through various illusions, suddenly, the scenery around him began to change.

Beneath his feet lay cracked, barren stones, the surrounding area dry and desolate, the wind still and the water gone.

This illusion was surprisingly sophisticated, even You Ming couldn't see through it. He even grabbed a handful of mud and sand from the ground, gently tossed it up, and the mud and sand flew everywhere.

If this level of simulation quality could be applied to games, it would absolutely crush all other games in the world.

However, he soon sensed something was amiss.

The absence of water and wind at most indicates that the world is a bit harsher.

The lack of air is not a big deal for cultivators, since they can always use internal circulation, so even if they don't breathe for three to five years, it won't cause much of a problem.

But unfortunately, this world lacks spiritual energy.

There's not even a trace of spiritual energy, which is extremely dangerous.

Without spiritual energy, one cannot cultivate magical power. Without spiritual energy, one cannot sustain the divine body one currently possesses.

As time goes by, his body will gradually die.

In each natural cycle, his magical power would be quickly depleted, and he would lose a little magical power with each breath.

However, when You Ming looked around, he saw a complete, unharvested spiritual vein lying in the distance, shimmering with a warm light in the soil, its flow of spiritual energy clearly visible. More than ten jade boxes and gold caskets were embedded in the rock wall, unsealed, and the fragrance of the elixirs inside spread with the wind, capable of invigorating the spirit and prolonging life.

Further away, a spring with clear water and milky white vapor rising and falling is clearly a long-unused spiritual spring.

These spiritual objects are within reach; with just a thought, You Ming can save lives, obtain treasures, replenish his strength, and break through barriers.

"So this is where I was waiting."

"This evil spirit's power is greed. It craves pleasure, gold and silver, and cultivation. But now, the ultimate test is its greed for life and death."

You Ming understood something.

But this is a calculated move by the other party. If you truly do not covet life and death, and even if you endure your body gradually withering away without using any spiritual objects nearby, then in the end, only death awaits you.

Similarly, if you use any of the spiritual objects here, you will be tempted to live a life of ignominy and will eventually be devoured by evil spirits.

That was a ruthless move.

but……

You Ming's face showed a strange expression. "So that's why I used [Flaw Detection] to see you. You're full of flaws. So that's what you were waiting for me here."

He directly summoned the compass and then entered [Gengwu 10472931].

Cheat code [Mana Boost]: Immediately increases experience points by 100 upon use, can directly increase mana or break through cultivation bottlenecks.

Now, I ask you, how would you respond if I were to employ this tactic?

You Ming's depleted mana suddenly increased by a significant amount. Although 100 points of mana was already a small amount for him, this increase was a direct increase within his body.

No matter how desolate or barren the place, with my cheat code, my magical power increases directly, without needing to absorb any external spiritual energy.

Forget about greed, I'm not even on the same wavelength as you.

Just as the magic power increased by 100 points, the lustful evil spirit trembled violently.

The entire fog suddenly undulated, folded, and twisted, as if someone had stuffed something completely incompatible into it.

It cannot be understood.

Its structure of existence is: demanding, acquiring, dissatisfaction, and demanding again.

If you harbor even the slightest greed here, you will be dragged step by step into the abyss.

However, You Ming's almost rogue move completely stunned the evil spirit, which contradicted its original rules.

It was this negligible amount of magical power that broke the chain.

This directly damaged the natural legal foundation of evil spirits.

"Boom."

There was no fire, nor any thunder.

It was just a very subtle "power returning to stillness," like the entire fog collapsing from its center, slowly sinking, as if the foundation of a tower had been removed.

The entire body of the evil spirit began to collapse inward, vibrate, and silently disintegrate.

You Ming looked down and saw that the evil spirit's incredibly long health and mana bars were shrinking at a visible speed.
