American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

Sensing the divine wine that was originally emitting intense spiritual energy fluctuations, under the assistance of the [Jade Ointment] given by Lai Hengli, it gradually became like a gemstone ore whose sharp edges had been polished, its aura becoming smooth and gentle, like a golden elixir. Zhu Mingyao knew that this elixir had been successfully prepared.

Without hesitation, he picked up the bowl and drank the paste in one gulp.

Rounding up, I guess I could say I've been treated to a feast of fine food and drink of the finest wine...

As the miraculous medicine melted in his mouth and slowly seeped into his heart and soul, Zhu Mingyao secretly quipped to himself.

But the next second, intense spiritual energy seemed to surge out from the void, sweeping his leisurely thoughts to the ends of the earth.

Zhu Mingyao felt waves of intense pain in his chest, as if sharp knives were stabbing and stabbing through his meridians. His true energy and magical power were almost scattered, and large beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

"I go!"

"Even after the medicinal properties were harmonized, the backlash was still so strong. Ordinary people would definitely die if they used it. No wonder such a precious divine medicine can only be ranked at B1 level in the official collection."

He had no time to let his mind wander. He focused on using the mental techniques from the Shangqing Huangting Neijing Jing, enduring the pain, itching, soreness, and numbness, and controlling his magical power to operate according to the predetermined path.

A moment later, the sweat on his face did not recede but instead began to accumulate, slowly gathering together and turning into damp, worm-like streaks that ran down his cheeks.

"I miscalculated!" Zhu Mingyao's body trembled, and his face turned pale.

"Unexpectedly, the Twenty-Four Divine Spirits of the Inner Realm that I cultivate actually conflict with the functions of the Somo Divine Wine!"

Yes, the abilities gained from unlocking the inner realm of the gods are not spells learned through cultivation, but rather belong to the first-class supernatural powers. Even though I have only unlocked two types at the moment, traces of the other twenty-two types have also emerged as my skill deepens.

The current situation is like having two large trees in front of a limited area, surrounded by twenty-two saplings; there's simply no space left to plant new trees!

Feeling the special spiritual power of the divine wine surging within his body, gradually becoming more violent as he found himself with nowhere to go, Zhu Mingyao gritted his teeth and opened the system panel.

Originally, I planned to activate [Kidney Spirit Mystic] first, but now I'll have to postpone "male sexual happiness"...

System skill point allocation! Unlock the Inner Realm Gods - [Liver God Dragon Smoke]!

Within the verdant depths of the liver resides the Azure Child, a divine prince. He governs all key aspects of intelligence, and his external manifestation is the clarity of the eyes, like the sun and moon…

As reward points were poured in, Zhu Mingyao looked inward and saw a faint blue aura swirling around his liver, with a dragon shadow looming in the shadows.

【Liver God Dragon Smoke】belongs to the Wood element in the Five Elements theory and is in charge of dispelling diseases and detoxifying the human body!

According to the description in the Daoist manual, activating the Liver Spirit can resolve not only toxins in a physical sense, but also toxins in an energy sense!

And this out-of-control medicinal power of the divine wine is a kind of spiritual poison!

As expected, once the liver spirit was formed, a strange force immediately arose between the chest and abdomen, gently enveloping the chaotic medicinal power of the divine wine and slowly dissolving and dissipating it.

As the pain gradually subsided, Zhu Mingyao clutched his stomach and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's a pity; due to a lack of foresight, the medicinal power of this precious medicine has been wasted...

He was wallowing in self-pity when suddenly his expression changed. He frowned, carefully sensed the surroundings, and was surprised to find that the weakened spiritual power of the divine wine had not dissipated as expected, but instead gathered nearby...on his spleen.

Sensing the budding changes coming from his spleen, Zhu Mingyao's expression shifted from surprise to delight.

"Seriously... there's such a good thing!"

I worked all day at my father-in-law's house yesterday and didn't even have time to write a few words. Resting was more tiring than working; I'm exhausted! π_π

Chapter 122 Two Gods Open in Succession, Innate Realm in Sight

Mid-May is an extremely delicate time for Los Angeles, which is located in the south. The farewell kiss of the maiden of spring and the alluring glance of the lady of summer at first sight both descend upon this place.

Unlike the elderly who complain about the sudden changes in temperature between day and night, causing confusion about what to wear.

The young boys happily admired their girlfriends' alluring figures, constantly shifting between the charm of long skirts and high heels and the freedom of shorts and sandals.

Of course, that's assuming... you have a girlfriend!

"Why...why are you so happy today?"

Under the lush greenery of the street, Michelle held a large cup of red and white strawberry sundae, looking at her "boyfriend"... well, for now, a male friend, her pretty face full of confusion.

The dappled sunlight filtered through the trees, transforming into soft arcs of light that danced nimbly on the girl's smooth blonde hair. She scooped up a large spoonful of ice cream and stuffed it into her mouth, savoring the rich creaminess and the sweet and sour taste of fresh strawberry jam bursting on her tongue. Her large eyes narrowed happily into slits.

"You've been smiling all day."

"Did I laugh? No way."

Zhu Mingyao rubbed the muscles in his cheeks and denied it with a normal expression.

"You smiled again when you said that."

"Did I laugh? Did I laugh? That's because..." The boy's lips trembled as he made an exaggerated expression of panic.

His expression changed, and he burst out laughing, "Of course it's because of my lovely friend, she looks so beautiful today!"

Having been a high school cheerleader, Michelle was used to this kind of teasing, even though she came from a conservative Catholic family. She wasn't particularly shy, but her face flushed slightly. She casually tucked her short hair behind her ear, revealing a silver gemstone earring with a smooth pattern. Her breasts under her yellow cotton T-shirt seemed to have become even more prominent.

After praising the girl's outfit, Zhu Mingyao successfully diverted her attention. Feeling the abundant true qi and magic power flowing through his body, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips once again.

This world is not a martial arts world of the metal element, and Zhu Mingyao was not poisoned by some kind of rare poison like the Three Laughs Carefree Powder.

His attitude was, of course, not without reason.

A few nights ago, he was refining the Somo Divine Wine, but it clashed with the inner gods he was cultivating. He had no choice but to change his pre-designed cultivation route and spend reward points to activate the [Liver God Dragon Smoke], which is good at curing all poisons, to neutralize the rampaging medicinal power.

The result was unexpectedly good. The spiritual power of the divine wine, which had been neutralized and processed by the liver spirit, was not wasted. Instead, it activated another nearby spirit of the five internal organs.

——[Spleen spirit is always there]

At this point, Zhu Mingyao only needed the [Kidney Spirit Xuanming] to complete the five internal organs' supernatural powers, the circulation of the five qi, and the completeness of the five elements.

He could clearly sense that as long as he activated his kidney spirit, he would naturally advance to the Innate Realm and would skip the early stage of the Innate Realm and go straight to the middle stage!

How could that speed not make him burst out laughing? My genius persona is finally saved!

"It's getting late, Michelle, we should go back. You haven't finished your occult homework yet." A nonchalant middle-aged woman's voice rang out from the side, interrupting Zhu Mingyao's secret smugness.

He rolled his eyes and, with a hint of helplessness, turned his gaze to Ms. Lisa, who was walking along the street closely behind the two of them.

She took off her brown sunglasses, stuffed them into her handbag, and looked over expressionlessly.

These days, whenever Michelle comes to see him, the fortune teller always comes with a group of agents as bodyguards, ostensibly for close protection, but he knows perfectly well what her real intentions are.

Since the third wheel was acting openly and honestly, Zhu Mingyao had no reason to kick her out. Although he and the girl had some feelings for each other, their relationship hadn't reached the point of being officially a couple. In terms of status, he wasn't as close as Ms. Lisa, who was Michelle's nominal mentor.

Before the girl could put on her usual pitiful expression and beg for more time, Ms. Lisa turned her gaze to Zhu Mingyao, her tone carrying just the right amount of doubt:

"Mr. Milyo, you shouldn't be so idle, should you?"

I remember the job you accepted was scheduled to depart this afternoon, right?

She solemnly rolled up the sleeve of her cardigan to reveal her watch and glanced at it.

It's almost midnight.

"Is it already noon?"

Zhu Mingyao took out an old-fashioned brass pocket watch with a chain attached, glanced at it, and shook his head with a sigh.

That simplest description of basic relativity is truly a classic.

"...Time seems to pass slowly when you sit idly by the fireplace, but if a beautiful girl is with you, time will vanish in an instant!"

He winked playfully at Michelle.

"Then...see you in two days!"

……

……

The sky was clear and cloudless.

A large black SUV sped past on the wide, straight interstate highway.

Fortunately, the afternoon sun wasn't too harsh for the current month, allowing passengers to open the windows and enjoy the majestic Cascade Mountains in the distance.

A long wind from the high sky swept across the snow-capped peaks, bringing a refreshing coolness to pedestrians on the road at the foot of the mountain.

"Are we really that short-handed? They transferred people again right before departure? Now I'm all alone!"

Zhu Mingyao, holding the free cell phone issued by the Special Investigation Bureau, complained to Bai Ziyuan on the other end of the phone.

"There's nothing we can do. Recently, strange phenomena have been occurring frequently in various places, and all sorts of messy things have been happening one after another. Those strange monsters in the darkness are like they've taken aphrodisiacs, popping up one after another. A few days ago, there was even one that rushed into the street in broad daylight! It almost made the headlines."

Currently, it's not just us; the authorities have also mobilized other organizations and skilled individuals from the general public to launch a coordinated crackdown.

Bai Ziyuan's helpless voice came through the phone:

"Don't talk about others, I'm also out there with people."

You only have a few Wendigos on your side, and with summer approaching, their strength has decreased significantly. They won't cause you any trouble, so you should be content.

Hearing the busy tone of the call ending, Zhu Mingyao pursed his lips and rolled his eyes.

Well, it's convenient for me to collect reward points if I go alone, and there's no one to steal my kills.

After offering himself a word of comfort, the young man struck up a conversation with the agent who was also working as a driver in the front seat, and received the mission documents that had just been printed out.

Since the chance encounter led to the simultaneous attainment of the Liver God Dragon Smoke and the Spleen God Everlasting, Zhu Mingyao was overjoyed. However, looking at the Kidney God, the only one among the five internal organs that had not yet been activated, he felt extremely uneasy, as if his heart was being scratched by cat claws.

It feels like playing a mobile game and suddenly finding yourself incredibly lucky, getting two gold characters in a 10-pull, and your favorite character is just one step away from maxing out their constellation. In this situation, it really makes you want to spend a few 648 RMB purchases.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is too much to handle!

Under these circumstances, Zhu Mingyao, who originally planned to take a good rest, had become more hungry for reward points than ever before.

If the official urgent request hadn't arrived at that exact moment, he was prepared to go out in the middle of the night, masked, to find two places selling drugs and see if he could snag some rewards.

but……

Zhu Mingyao flicked the paper in his hand, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Is Wendigo in full swing this season?

Off-season vegetables?

I'm already very satisfied with my initial word count of over 200. If I can maintain this level of achievement, I'll keep writing until I reach over 100 million words.

Chapter 123 Off-Season Monster

The mission came urgently, but the situation was not particularly complicated:

—The day before yesterday afternoon, a monster attack occurred in a forest near Oregon in northern Golden State. According to eyewitnesses, the attacker was suspected to be Wendigo.
