Extraordinary rules descend upon the world

No. 15, First Brigade, Liuwan Village.

In the courtyard, Li Guyu continued to explain:

"Those guys threw the half-dead spirit beasts at the village entrance and ran away."

"I had no choice but to feed it some water and some food."

"Just now, I noticed someone who was clearly dying, so I came over to check on them."

"I was thinking that if you're busy, you don't need to worry about it. After all, they're just beasts."

Chu Weiyue tossed a stack of letters aside: "Nothing much for now, let's go take a look."

They arrived together at Li Guyu's residence at the village entrance. Upon entering the courtyard, they saw many dying spirit beasts.

Among them, there were 4 dogs, all big yellow; 3 cats, one orange tabby, one tabby, and one calico; and finally, a budgie.

"That cat is going to die."

In the direction Li Guyu was pointing, the tabby cat was barely breathing, looking like it was about to die.

Besides that, the others weren't much better off; some were convulsing, some were trembling, and some had all sorts of messy discharge from their mouths and eyes...

"Are the side effects of the Spirit Ascension Talisman really that severe?"

This touches on Chu Weiyue's blind spot: the Spirit Ascension Talisman he learned did not mention any "side effects" whatsoever.

Looking at the miserable state of the spirit beasts on the ground, I took out my phone, glanced at the messages, and after reading them, all I could say was:

"Even though they are both spirit-raising talismans, the difference is really huge."

Most spirit-raising talismans, if not used properly, can have significant and serious side effects.

These people in front of us are considered lucky to be alive. There were quite a few who died on the spot after using the Spirit Ascension Talisman.

Chu Weiyue put away his phone and looked at Gouzi. Ever since they arrived in the yard, Gouzi had been observing the injured spirit beasts one by one.

It stood in front of a spirit beast, seemed to be thinking for a while, and then moved on to the next one.

Furthermore, the responses given after each observation were different.

Sometimes it barks happily, sometimes it makes no sound at all...

"Waaaaah~"

  

The dog looked at Chu Weiyue and whimpered a couple of times, then looked at the big orange cat that was about to die.

Chu Weiyue patted the dog's head; the dog seemed very anxious.

"Give it a try."

The Spirit Nourishing Array set up in the two western rooms of the house has been running continuously.

The dog only needs to use it once every ten days to two weeks.

It's usually empty.

The Spirit Restoration Array has a healing effect, but it's unclear whether it will be effective for these injured guys in front of us.

If not, Chu Weiyue has no other choice at the moment.

Pointing to the two-wheeled handcart in the yard, he said, "Uncle Li, I need to use this to push all these spirit beasts to my house."

"No problem." Li Guyu smiled and said, "It's good that we can save it. Although it's an animal, its eyes are just like a human's. It's quite uncomfortable to look at it for too long."

At this moment, a group of people led by Tian Mancang's grandson, Tian Jiekai, entered the courtyard. As soon as they entered, they asked, "Is there anything we can do for you?"

Li Guyu said, "You've come at the right time. Load all these spirit beasts onto the cart. Wei Yue wants to take them home and see if we can try to revive them."

Without hesitation, Tian Jiekai replied, "No problem, it's nothing."

He then said, "Brother Yue, there are many of us here, why don't we each take one and deliver it over?"

Chu Weiyue nodded: "That's fine. They're badly injured, so it's good for them to suffer less. As long as you don't mind."

"Of course it's okay."

Tian Jiekai and the others spoke in unison.

Hearing of Chu Weiyue's whereabouts, I rushed over, just to help him and to make my connections.

The group returned to their lodgings in a hurry. Chu Weiyue opened the doors to the two western rooms and let Tian Jiekai and the others in, then placed the spirit beasts on the ground.

Upon entering the room, feeling the resistance to their movements, and looking at the five array stones—one large and four small—that emitted a beautiful light on the ground, Tian Kaijie and the others marveled.

"Brother Yue, I wish I could stay here in their place."

"So you can set up your own formation? I think it's even better than the Marrow Cleansing Formation."

"It looks very complex and advanced; it should have no problem treating these spirit beasts."

"..."

Amidst flattery, all the spirit beasts were placed in their positions. Chu Weiyue closed the door; he had done all he could. Whether they lived or died was now up to fate.

Shortly after seeing Tian Kaijie and the others off, a notification was received:

[Hint: Obtain the following extraordinary rules:]

【规则1*4、规则2*4、规则3*4、规则4*3、规则5*3、规则6*3、规则7*2。】

"Why have we made another discovery?"

"First of all, you can rule out any connection with me."

"I didn't do anything, I just took in some spirit beasts that were about to die."

"Is it related to Geng Dingjun?"

Rule 7, the Marrow-Cleansing Formation, ended, and statues were reborn one after another. Geng Dingjun, who received Chu Weiyue's instructions, took the task very seriously and had personally killed several statues in the past few days.

Most of the statues that were destroyed hadn't yet had a chance to kill anyone.

Only one of the statues has killed a person.

Geng Dingjun eliminated it, and Chu Weiyue did not gain any extraordinary rules. The rules used by the murdered person were not transferred to Chu Weiyue.

Chu Weiyue opened the log and looked at the most recent entries:

【…】

[Geng Dingjun kills the statue.]

Geng Dingjun breathed a sigh of relief. The statues he killed weren't the kind that wouldn't level up, so his strength didn't increase after killing four people.

Geng Dingjun was somewhat puzzled. How could a statue of this strength kill four people, and two of them, despite surviving the latest Rule 7, still retain their character panels?

Geng Dingjun attributed the problem to the fact that many people only talk the talk but don't have the courage to face real danger.

【…】

Chu Weiyue looked at it for a long time and confirmed that the rules used by the four victims were exactly the same as the rewards shown earlier.

"Therefore, you need to kill the statue that has committed heinous crimes in order to gain the corresponding rule points."

"The last statue depicted three people who were killed; this one depicts four."

"By removing the statues that represent killing 3 or 4 people, we obtained the corresponding rules."

"Removing the statue of one person resulted in no gain."

"That's how it should be; we need to deal with those who have committed heinous crimes."

Chu Weiyue has reached the following conclusion:

"This will make the harvesting of rules much slower."

"And the danger will also increase."

"However, overall it's alright."

"Judging from Geng Dingjun's view, the members he will recruit in the future should also be highly capable individuals."

"It shouldn't be too strenuous."

"So, how can we recruit a second member?"

"To be precise, it's the second 'homegrown' member."

Chu Weiyue needs the help of local members to obtain various rule slots in order to cultivate new members in the Red Mansion Secret Realm.

"No rush, let's take it one step at a time."

"..."
