Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 108 The Don't Die Challenge (5,000 words)
"Thank goodness, it's all over safely."

Qinghua patted his chest.

This time, An Shiyu was truly the most vicious enemy she had ever encountered.

She's beautiful, has a great personality, and most importantly, she's the key to unlocking the remnants of the mind.

It can be said that he has set up all sorts of flags, and has sufficient reasons and initiative to actively approach the sect leader.

Most importantly, she's my childhood sweetheart!

As someone familiar with all sorts of romance works, Qinghua knows best the destructive power of a child falling from the sky.

What's the difference between this attribute and an imperial decree?
In any case, we absolutely cannot give An Shiyu even the slightest chance, otherwise, a childhood sweetheart like Bing Tang, who is always in a slice-of-life relationship, will inevitably end up as the loser...

Having the sect leader leave is the best option at present.

However, what method should be used to keep the sect leader from returning for an extended period of time, or how should An Shiyu be persuaded to leave?

This is yet another huge problem.

If the sect leader were a playable character, with dialogue boxes and options, Super Blue Porcelain would definitely be able to achieve the true ending...

"Four leaves, six leaves, and Yu Mo."

Before they could even think about their next move, Bing Tang and the sect leader had already returned to the sect.

Futaba, who hadn't returned from the restroom, immediately jumped out at Bing Tang's call.

Qinghua thought they had fallen into the toilet.

Although Yumo seemed a little down, she still hugged her rabbit doll and followed Shuangye to the door.

Bing Tang naturally gave up her place and pushed Jiang Si, who was behind her, forward, saying, "You come here."

Jiang Si didn't hesitate and took out the desserts that the rock sugar had protected along the way. "These are gifts for you, four-leaf and six-leaf."

When the two little girls received the gift boxes, they were a little at a loss. Liu Ye hurriedly tried to open the boxes, but Si Ye quickly slapped her sister's hand and first pulled her sister to bow to the sect leader, "Thank you, sect leader!"

"It's alright, let Liuye open it," Bingtang said with a smile. "Be careful not to break it."

The two girls then excitedly carried the gift box to the side, opened it, and looked at the perfectly arranged cake inside; their beautiful eyes sparkled.

Liuye reached for the fork to eat, but Yotsuba slapped her hand away and picked up her phone to start taking pictures.

After a long while, and after taking countless photos, the two finally started cutting the cake, each with a fork.

Yu Mo quietly watched the happy smiles on her two friends' faces, but hugged her doll tightly and buried her face in it.

Because the sect leader has nothing else in his possession.

Anyway, it's just not Yu Mo's turn...

“Yu Mo”.

Jiang Si called out, but the girl didn't react at first.

Until he called out again, "Come here."

Yu Mo then raised her head, gave a blank "Oh," and walked over.

It took Jiang Si a while to pull the hair clip gift box out of her pocket.

Since the gift box was relatively small and he had many pockets to carry things, he couldn't remember which pocket it was in and had to search through them one by one.

Finally, when Jiang Si took out the small and exquisite gift box and handed it to Yu Mo, she planned to go into the house first to announce her plan.

As a result, he was pulled back by the rock candy behind him.

"Let's see how Yumo reacts first. We need to see if she's satisfied with the gift we bought."

So complicated.

Jiang Si stopped and looked up at the little girl who often buried her face behind the doll to hide her expression.

Her eyes sparkled, and the rabbit was now pressed against her chest, held by something. Holding the gift box in both hands, she carefully opened it, and the beautiful stone on the hair clip was reflected in her pupils.

Then she raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Si. She took off her hood, mustered her courage, and held the hairpin out to Jiang Si. "Sect Master, could you... could you help me put this on?"

"Let the rock candy help you, I don't know how."

Jiang Si casually declined, but he was still considering contacting Ruoyun.

The sanctuary should also be mobilized.

Like a punctured balloon, Yu Mo shrank back, hugging her doll tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry.

That pitiful and adorable little expression would melt even the hardest-hearted person's heart with just one look.

Jiang Si didn't even glance at it.

Bing Tang, standing behind her, sighed. "Help her put it on. I'll teach you. Otherwise, if Yu Mo cries, it won't be easy to carry out the mission."

Jiang Si, who was about to leave, nodded upon hearing this and casually picked up the hair clip, saying, "Tell me, where do you want to put it?"

Under Bing Tang's guidance, Jiang Si successfully clipped the hair clip onto Yu Mo's head.

The butterfly-shaped hair clip really suits the little girl, making her look even cuter. With its delicate, tear-stained appearance, it makes her seem like a flower covered in dew.

After carefully touching the hair clip, Yu Mo's face showed a slightly shy and happy smile. She gently shook her head, and the butterfly hair clip on her head seemed to come alive. "H-how is it? Does it look good?"

Jiang Si nodded. "It looks pretty good."

Yu Mo hid her head behind her doll again, letting out a small, muffled laugh before saying, "Thank you, Sect Master!"

"Mine! Mine!"

Qinghua immediately exclaimed, "Why am I the only one without a gift!"

Bing Tang then released Jiang Si, letting the sect leader return to the hall. She then went over and flicked Qing Hua's forehead, saying, "The sect leader just got back and already gave you a gift, a phone, and an account for the Magical Girl Idol Project!"

"Oh, I see. Then my gift is better..."

Despite saying that, Aoka still ran over, her little face beaming as she looked at Futaba, "Yotaba and Rokuyo, you know how well I took care of you before, can I have some to eat..."

After shamelessly snatching a bite of cake, he ran over to Yu Mo, who was still lost in thought, seemingly savoring something.

"Yu Mo, Yu Mo, we're such good friends, can I borrow your hair clip for a bit...?"

I tried to reach out and touch someone behind me, but before I could even touch them, I was lifted into the air.

He cried and begged for mercy for a long time, even banging his head comically in the air like a frog, before Yu Mo finally put him down.

Four-Leaf and Six-Leaf took another small piece of cake and handed it to Jiang Si and Bing Tang to share, but Jiang Si didn't like sweets.

The part about reaching out was still given to Yu Mo.

Yu Mo, who had hair clips in her hair, no longer even wore her hood.

She would reach out and touch it every now and then, as if afraid that the hair clip would suddenly disappear.

This is probably what a child would look like when they receive a gift they like.

Thinking this, Bing Tang walked into the conference room and patted the table. "We've received most of the gifts. Now it's time to get back to work."

"Yes!"

Several female disciples leaped in and took their seats, waiting for the sect leader to announce what needed to be done.

But when Jiang Si walked in, she didn't go straight to the prayer mat under the memorial tablet. Instead, she took out a tape recorder and placed it behind a screen. Bing Tang immediately understood and took out a bundle of incense from under the table.

Yu Mo, Si Ye, and Liu Ye immediately straightened their clothes, and even Qing Hua put away her phone, which she was on the phone with in the middle of a call.

Just kidding, the current sect leaders are terrifyingly serious.

This always happens when something important is about to happen...

As the clear sound of flowing water rang out, a wisp of sandalwood fragrance swirled and spread out like a dragon in front of the futon.

Jiang Si sat on the futon, feeling the wisps of smoke carried by a faint breeze around the room. She nodded in satisfaction, and her gaze toward Yu Mo was filled with a hint of relief.

At least it's not a human-machine interaction anymore.

Then, with a wave of his hand, three more incense sticks floated into the air, spontaneously combusting before the ancestral tablets. Jiang Si then spoke, "The Qingyun Sect has been established for over thirty years..."

"It's three years, isn't it?" Qinghua interjected from the side.

“Thirty years is just a figure of speech,” Bing Tang explained. “Also, don’t interrupt when the sect leader is speaking.”

"Oh……"

After Bing Tang finished speaking, Jiang Si continued: "In more than 30 years, Qingyun Sect has grown from an unknown sect to what it is today. It has seven true disciples, countless honorary disciples, and countless inner disciples. Its outer sect is flourishing and spread all over the world. It is a thriving sect."

“I observe that the disciples under my tutelage possess wisdom that shines forth from the darkness, and spiritual essence is gathered within them. Every move they make is sharp and undeniable, and their actions are unprecedented in history.”

The girls couldn't help but think that, apart from the sect leader, there didn't seem to be anyone so incredibly rare...

"...However, the world changes, and divine artifacts are replaced. The cultivation world has never been a peaceful place that has remained unchanged since ancient times, and the Qingyun Sect is no exception."

"Over the past thirty years, more and more enemies have invaded the territory of the Qingyun Sect. The level of our opponents has gradually changed from Foundation Establishment cultivators to Golden Core experts, and there are even Supreme beings who have cut themselves and are eyeing us covetously in the forbidden area!"

Both Four Leaf and Six Leaf were stunned. Blue Flower stammered, "Yes, is there?"

Then Jiang Si called out, "Yu Mo!"

"Ah...! Yumo's here!"

"Tell me, have you noticed that the enemy is becoming increasingly troublesome?"

“Ah, um, Yumo… I don’t seem to feel any difference…” “…”

Jiang Si waved her hand without changing her expression, "Sit down."

"I have a premonition that an era of great strife is about to begin."

Bing Tang rubbed her forehead. So, what's the point of having Yu Mo answer the question...?

"We cultivators seek immortality and strive for the Great Dao."

"In short, for more than thirty years, you have been free to cultivate as you please. Now, on a whim, I feel it is time to test the results!"

"Having cultivated the Great Dao, why fear a battle? From this day forward, the Qingyun Sect will hold its first all-sect competition to test the steadfastness of your Dao hearts, the sophistication of your spells, and whether you can face the formidable enemy of the future!"

Qinghua reached out tremblingly, "Sect Master, how... how is the grand competition conducted? Is it going to be a civil war among the true disciples by drawing lots?"

Jiang Si shook his head. "There is only one goal in the sect competition, and that is for everyone in the sect to do their utmost to defeat me."

The sect, which had just begun to feel lively and warm with the gifts, instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Bing Tang covered her forehead and sighed.

Only the sect leader, full of energy and with a gleam in his eyes, waved his hand and said expectantly:
"In short, please give it your all."

……

After the sect finished explaining the requirements for the competition, Jiang Si began his seclusion on his own.

Take out the furnace and start a fire.

First, refine the Seed of Lamentation into a pure medicinal essence, and then process the Egg of Calamity in the same way.

The two materials were arranged in order—although Jiang Si didn't know what the order was, so she arranged them in the order she had discovered them.

He discovered the Seed of Lamentation first, and then the Egg of Calamity.

With this cause-and-effect relationship established, the order in which the materials were prepared becomes clear; ultimately, the elixir of immortality is determined by cause and effect.

The elixir is slowly heated and refined in a furnace to form its initial form.

The pure magic power within the Miracle Seed was slowly poured into the embryonic form of the elixir.

This step is extremely dangerous, as the conflict between pure magic and corrupted magic is severe, and a slight carelessness could lead to an explosion.

But who is Jiang Si?

The Qingyun Sect Master's control over magic power had long reached its peak. Under his precise control, there was no repulsion between two opposing types of magic power.

Instead, they gradually began to merge under the mysterious materials of the Calamity Egg!
The two magical powers eventually merged perfectly within the pill, and were then continuously nurtured by a strange fire until the pill became smooth and round.

Only when the fragrance and luster of the cinnabar appear can it be considered a true success!
Although it didn't take much time, Jiang Si still felt that it wasn't easy.

I popped one into my mouth and tasted it.

A warm feeling instantly spread throughout my body, and along with the warm current, that abundant power also flowed through my entire body!

The relief made him let out a soft sigh.

Even though I haven't eaten a meal—I only had a bite of ice cream with rock sugar—I still don't feel hungry.

Indeed, fasting still requires fasting pills.

"I think it's probably just that you're not hungry yet, and this thing only replenishes magic power, right?"

Jiang Si suppressed the inner demon of the Black Dragon.

The magic absorption and conversion rate of the Seed of Lamentation alone is not high, and it even requires a large amount of disaster beast supplies to keep up with its consumption.

Now, this fasting pill can not only help me get through hunger, but also replenish a lot of magical power.

It is clearly a genuine precious medicine.

He planned to refine a large quantity for future use, and incidentally told the rock sugar how to refine it.

Alchemy can also help improve magic control, so Jiang Si plans to promote it within the sect and have them help her with alchemy.

Such a precious medicine, the more the better!
Once Jiang Si became proficient, he could easily stuff the Seed of Sorrow and the Egg of Calamity into the furnace without much effort, and the pills would be ready within three minutes.

The problem is that there are currently too few Calamity Eggs.

Although the three Great Witch Guilds were wiped out, there are still only a few hundred Calamity Eggs left.

It's completely insufficient for the sect's needs.

Although he possesses the methods for creating calamity beasts and calamity eggs, they can only be used once. The Blood Cross memory imprint will disappear once used, and he has not yet found a good solution to this problem.

However, you can buy it from the Witch Guild.

Especially since he is the head of the Witch's Guild in East China, his desire to make a comeback and purchase the Calamity Egg is well-founded. As long as the money is enough, there will always be someone at headquarters willing to sell it.

With this thought in mind, a thought struck him, and he considered the sanctuary.

Isn't this the time when money is spent?

The Holy Temple must have quite a bit of money now, and he plans to get himself a thousand Bigu Pills for future use.

You can never have too many pills. In which online novel about cultivating immortality isn't someone who's constantly taking medicine?
So he put on the mask, opened the crystal ball, and contacted the sanctuary in Jiangming City, only to find that Hua Hu was the only one there.

"How much money have you raised?"

"Uh, sir, we've raised a total of 300,000..."

"so little!"

Flower Fox, looking distressed, said, "Sir, ever since the company was acquired by the Ice Color Group, their cash flow has been strictly controlled. Several accountants have been arrested. We can't act recklessly, or we'll be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs..."

"Fine, three hundred thousand it is. Transfer it all."

"Uh, now we only have 100,000 left..."

"What?! Where's my 200,000?!"

"Miss Ruoyun spent 200,000 yuan on equipment and a hunting team of over ten people, and it's all basically gone..."

After a long silence, a muffled growl came from the other end:

"My money! She took 200,000 for herself, and I only got 100,000! And I'm supposed to thank her?!"

Inside the crystal ball, the Holy Walker, who had just called, was in a fit of extreme rage.

In fact, Flower Fox also wanted to complain.

The 300,000 yuan was supposed to be spent sparingly, but in reality, Ruoyun spent most of it.

Although forging weapons is her ability as a magical girl, it's impossible for her to create materials out of thin air.

She had to purchase a large amount of materials and also pay salaries to the team she had built.

Two hundred thousand or so is actually not considered expensive...

But the church only has so much money in total.

Less than 100,000 remained; the missing portion was covered by Hua Hu herself…

"It seems as if my sanctuary has been built by her!"

That's not wrong...

Hua Hu thought to herself, "From the beginning, it's basically been Hua Hu who makes the money in the Holy Temple, and then Ruo Yun spends it."

Because Lord Jiang Mo Tu basically doesn't get involved in anything and can't be contacted, Hua Hu can't very well defy a magical girl.

"Ten thousand it is. Where is Ruoyun now? Tell her to contact me immediately!"

"Reporting to you, my lord, Ruoyun has been out clearing out the calamity beasts. Ever since you said that the Seed of Lamentation could also be exchanged for points, she has been out clearing out the calamity beasts and searching for the remains left behind by the calamity beasts to make weapons!"

"Tell her! I'm kicking her out of the sanctuary!" Jiang Si roared furiously. "Tell her to get out and never come back!"

"Yes, sir." Flower Fox smiled broadly, finally getting rid of this troublemaker, otherwise she didn't know how much suffering she would have endured. "Oh, right, during this time, while we were out of the city clearing out the calamity beasts and witch guilds, we collected more than seven hundred Calamity Eggs. Some were left behind by Red Serpent, and many were left behind by other witch guilds."

"More than seven hundred?"

"Yes."

Jiang Si was silent for a while, "It only cost 200,000. Does Ruoyun think my Holy Temple is broke? Let her spend it! Tell Ruoyun to collect more Calamity Eggs, and she won't be shortchanged on points."

"Ah? Sir, but just now..."

"Just because I told you to go doesn't mean you have to! Do you want to ruin my opportunity?!"

"Yes Yes!"

Jiang thought about the more than seven hundred eggs of calamity and took a deep breath.

At the Witch's Guild, it takes over a hundred contribution points to exchange for a Calamity Egg, and a contribution point is not cheap.

After putting on the mask, I contacted my twins and opened a live stream for myself.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Here's a live broadcast announcement: In about three days, I, Si Motu, the person in charge of the East China region, will be challenging the Qingyun Sect."

By changing my surname, I shouldn't be exposed.

He imitated the streamer from the Witch's Guild in the live broadcast room, saying:
"The challenge is not difficult, four stars, one run of the North Sea Demon Cave."
