Please note that 'confused deception' cannot be hidden or concealed; it must be displayed prominently, as it will relentlessly attract the attention of ambitious individuals.

3. A jade pendant with a blood-red sheen:

A jade pendant left behind on an ancient battlefield, its surface stained with bloodstains that defy comprehension.

Wearing this jade pendant for a long time can increase one's martial arts comprehension and cultivation speed.

According to ancient legends, only high-ranking martial arts masters can truly use this jade pendant.

Please note that this jade pendant has been contaminated by an unknown entity, and wearing it may attract unpredictable pursuit.

Please note that once a jade pendant is contaminated, its interior undergoes abnormal changes, and rashly examining it may cause unpredictable contamination.

Please note that those who are not martial arts practitioners or possess a specific talent sequence may be repelled by this jade pendant and ultimately succumb to madness.

He looked at all three awards from top to bottom.

He felt that these three rewards would probably cause trouble if they were left out in the open.

The first reward is the recorder, which grants crowd control. When playing music, it controls everyone who hears the music, forcing them to dance.

The effect is good in the short term, but if used for too long, the player becomes controlled by the recorder, playing incessantly...

He Ao could almost picture the relevant scenes in his mind.

A quiet town, music that never stops, and people dancing like madmen to the music. Some are exhausted to death, while others are transformed into twisted dancing monsters.

This music might even attract the attention of high-ranking beings like angels.

It's important to understand that 'angels' do not necessarily represent rationality. Based on He Ao's current experience, most of the 'angels' he has encountered and learned about are insane; only a minority possess rationality.

He had no doubt that throwing the flute into the middle of the road would cause a disaster.

The second reward was a broken cross, the name of which was plainly written: 'Chaotic Deception'.

This thing is probably related to the God of Chaos.

Its existence is probably meant to incite wars, with people who crave power and immortality constantly chasing after this item, ultimately leading to chaos and madness.

It sounds like something the God of Chaos would be happy to see.

The third item, the jade pendant, has relatively normal abilities, but it is clearly an item contaminated with some kind of powerful pollution. Its very existence exudes madness.

As the reward level increases, the rewards the system can offer become increasingly bizarre.

what

Ao glanced at the three items again.

The flute has strong crowd control abilities, but while controlling others, the player can also be controlled themselves, and may attract unknown angels, potentially bringing uncontrollable trouble.

The cross can extend lifespan and has a chance to turn others into servants, but Heo is still young and doesn't have a strong lifespan requirement. Moreover, this kind of lifespan extension doesn't seem quite 'normal,' so the item's ability is halved.

So the answer is quite obvious.

You have selected the 'Blood-Nourishing Jade Pendant'.

The reward has been issued; please check your account.

This jade pendant is probably something related to the gods that was obtained from the 'Silent Night Coffin Man's' critical hit.

Just as He Ao's thoughts flashed through his mind, he felt a weight in his hand, and a crystal-clear, almost translucent ring-shaped pendant appeared in his palm.

The pendant was tied with a red cord. It was crystal clear and had the texture of jade, but it was also transparent and did not look exactly like jade.

At the center of this jade pendant, a strange, shimmering red blood was seeping outwards from the center.

Upon seeing the blood, He Ao felt as if his brain had been struck a heavy blow.

It was like a burly man holding a huge stone hammer and hitting him on the back of the head.

At that moment, He Ao almost fainted.

His body swayed slightly, but he didn't fall down. Instead, he staggered to the edge of the bed.

Countless vast and distorted murmurs exploded in his ears.

He stopped and stared at the jade pendant.

He could sense a surge of power within the jade pendant.

The system's description states that only high-ranking martial artists can truly use this jade pendant.

Why a high-level martial artist? Does Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation count as a high-level martial artist?

Since only high-ranking martial artists can truly use it.

Does this mean that this jade pendant can only be opened with something that only high-ranking martial artists possess?

He pondered for a moment, then summoned his divine sense, attaching it to the jade pendant and gradually permeating it along the edge of the circular pendant.

I'm not feeling well, it'll be a little later.

The next chapter will be tomorrow at noon.

Wishing all bosses taking exams recently the best of luck: may you know all the answers, guess all the correct ones, and get full marks in every subject!

Chapter 715 Pseudo-Grade A Item (Mega Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Noise, chaos, distortion.

The first sound to reach He'ao's ears was a roar that seemed to tear his soul apart.

This is some kind of polluting force.

However, this kind of pollution is different from the pollution that He Ao had encountered before. It does not lead people to chaos, nor does it drive people to the extremes of their desires.

If one had to put it into words, the feeling that this pollution gave Heo was more like the feeling of Jess entering a state of near-madness, of peering into the truth and being invaded by the truth.

It entered He's body through the connection of divine consciousness, and then surged into He's soul, but at the same time, the truth of the world unfolded towards He's soul.

Almost instantly, He Ao felt as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, and the whole world unfolded in his 'vision' in a distorted form.

He saw his skin and blood vessels appear in his field of vision at the same time, saw the energy flowing in his body, and saw the 'undulating' energy lines that flowed with the energy.

He Ao had previously used his divine sense to 'introspect' his own body, but even with the 'vision' of his divine sense, he had never seen the flow of these energies so clearly before him.

He could clearly see every tiny pulse in those energy lines as thin as hair.

He gazed at these energy lines, his brow furrowed slightly.

Each pulse of these energy lines seems to strike a string at the very bottom of the world, filled with a rhythm that is almost integrated into nature itself.

This proves that He's energy circulation is normal.

He frequently uses his inner vision to adjust his energy pathways, ensuring that these energies flow smoothly without blockage.

However, while these energy lines were perfect in the details, they felt slightly 'unnatural' to him in the overall direction at this moment.

He couldn't explain why it felt out of place, but he knew that this operating system was illogical.

But he was actually very clear about the source of the problem. After all, he had figured out his martial arts on his own. He not only had no predecessors to teach him, but he didn't even have a complete manual.

The energy circuit he is currently cultivating was discovered through trial and error by comparing the incomplete sixth page of the small book with martial arts books he had seen from Ilya Ann.

He knew that his cultivation method was definitely problematic, but he didn't know where the problem lay. Even his divine sense could only tell him where the energy was not flowing smoothly and that he could make some adjustments, but it wouldn't tell him whether the energy should be flowing in this way or whether it should follow this circuit.

However, in his current state, he could clearly feel the incongruity of these circuits.

So he began to carefully observe the lines, and as his attention became more focused, the chaotic noises in his mind grew louder, and at the same time, he felt his mind rapidly becoming exhausted.

Even if he can resist pollution, it seems that he can only enter this state for a limited time.

He didn't know exactly where the circuits were wrong, so he could only start with the circuits that felt most out of place and adjust them based on his 'intuition'.

This kind of adjustment tends to be aimless and exhaustive, but fortunately, due to frequent use of introspection,

He has a certain understanding of the energy pathways within his body.

Moreover, he felt that his path was 'incongruous' rather than 'wrong,' which proved that his cultivation path was generally correct; otherwise, he would not have been able to break through normally.

This greatly reduces the scope he needs to 'exhaustively search'.

After trying it eight times, he finally felt that the strong sense of 'discomfort' disappear.

Correspondingly, there is an ultimate sense of 'comfort,' like when an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient finally arranges two asymmetrical things into a symmetrical shape—a wonderfully consistent sense of 'comfort.'

At the same time, he could feel the flow of energy within his body seemed to have 'speeded up' a little.

In that instant, he felt a dizziness, his consciousness pulled out the jade pendant, and he fell backward, landing directly on the bed.

The feeling of peeking into the 'truth' and the high-level perspective vanished instantly, leaving only a splitting headache.

His mental state could no longer support him continuing this 'spying'.

The howling of pollution, a severe headache, and a somewhat disorienting mental confusion surged into He's consciousness one after another.

He took a deep breath and lay down on the bed.

Most of the 'knowledge' he had just glimpsed was fading rapidly, but Heo still noted down those incongruous lines.

He carefully, enduring the intense headache, adjusted his trajectory without that super-perspective.

Then he waited a while until he felt a little better, and then immersed his consciousness into the jade pendant again.

The next second, he was once again in that high-level 'peeping' field of vision. This time, he only glanced at the body before immediately withdrawing his divine sense.

This time, the overall disharmony of his body's lines did not disappear, but it was obvious that the disharmony of some lines had lessened.

So he continued to adjust the flow of energy within his body, and once he finished, he would use his divine sense to 'take a look' at the jade pendant to confirm whether he was on the right track.

Time passed second by second, and as dawn approached, he finally adjusted all the lines to their 'optimal' positions.

He lay on the bed, panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face.

His headache was still severe, even more severe, but he felt more comfortable than ever before.

It's like he's always been carrying a huge mountain on his back. He knows there's a problem, but he's gotten used to it, so he doesn't really feel anything.

But now, that mountain is gone, his body is freed, and he feels as light as if he were walking on clouds.

His energy efficiency has increased by at least 20%.

The biggest improvement was in cultivation speed. His energy conversion efficiency had increased by at least double, meaning that as long as there was enough energy, his cultivation speed was twice as fast as before.
