The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

"Gods?" So there are gods in this place too.

This is the first idea.

How much is it worth in terms of bizarre lifespan?

This is the second idea.

This is yesterday's update. I'm so sorry it's only now because I've been adjusting my sleep schedule (bowing).

Please continue reading, love you all!

Volume 1: 241. [The Hearth Sea] (A)

In terms of actual presence, the gods of Taiheng City are probably not many at all.

At least since Bai Qian arrived here, she has never heard of this name before.

Unlike Bai Fengcheng and Changcheng Prefecture, where the Bai Feng Temple in Bai Fengcheng is self-evident, there are at least some traces of Chenghe Divine Capital in Changcheng Prefecture; it's not that no information has been found at all.

The gods of Taiheng City...

Bai Qian followed behind Bai Yao, stepping on Bai Yao's shadow one step after another.

"Not long after you left, that deity sent someone to find us, saying that he had something to ask of us and wanted us to come over." Bai Yao was explaining to Bai Qian about the deity of Taiheng City.

"What that deity said..." Bai Yao glanced at Nian Qi, who was clearly having some kind of clone beside her.

Nian Qi noticed Bai Yao's gaze and quickly nodded, saying, "That deity is the local City God. I heard my sister say that he defeated a ferocious beast that had existed in our area for a long time, which is why he was worshipped. He is usually called Yang Gong, which is said to be based on his secular name."

"However, not many people believed in Him long ago, because it was said that He could only drive away hungry beasts, but could not protect people."

"A beast?" Bai Qian asked curiously, stepping on Bai Yao's shadow as if she were leaping.

"It's the 'hunger' in 'hunger,' and I've heard it's a monster that causes famine."

"From this perspective, shouldn't we be believing in that Master Yang right now?" This was the question Bai Yao asked.

"It might be because of the Lotus Cult." Nian Qi shrank back as he looked at the emaciated corpse lying on the roadside.

Two bloated demons blocked the way. One still retained its human form, and one could vaguely recognize its appearance before it became a bloated demon, but the other had completely transformed into a monster.

The two bloated demons only saw the three of them before they could pounce on them. Bai Qian flicked her long sleeves, and the bloated demons died on the spot. Their blood condensed together and turned into two bright red beads that rolled on the ground.

Bai Qian walked to the bead, picked it up casually, and put the dark red bead back.

Bai Yao glanced at the two beads and finally understood what those blood-red, amber-like beads that the girl had shown him earlier were.

I wondered if I had raised this girl wrong. She seemed to have strayed far from the image of a well-bred young lady I had initially envisioned. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved.

It's always better to hurt others than to be hurt by others. She didn't think Bai Qian did anything wrong. If she could have used her brain a little more and been more careful, that would have been even better.

"That Lord Yang is probably in a bad situation right now, but if we can get in touch with him, we might be able to find out what's really going on in Taiheng City." We can put the Lotus Sect aside for now; we need to get the information about the Hundred Demon Pavilion first, which was our initial purpose for coming here.

"Hmm." Bai Qian gave a soft "hmm," her attention not on Bai Yao's words.

My gaze was fixed on the panel.

It should also be said that thanks to those demons just now, the lifespan of the demons in our hands has now reached a considerable number.

Five hundred years of a demon's lifespan can be squandered at will. Apart from that, although the mysterious red-haired woman had no lifespan after her death, the amount of blood energy obtained by refining her body was enormous, much more than the blood energy obtained from refining the corpses of the previous demons, if quantified.

The bloated demon is at most a dark red blood bead, while the lion demon is probably equivalent to a little over a hundred blood beads. The red-haired woman has more than three hundred and fifty. The one who releases lightning is not easy to compare because it is incense, but based on the effect, it is probably around two hundred.

For Bai Qian, the current problem is probably how to allocate the resources at her disposal.

Based on previous speculation, to advance to the fourth realm, the first thing to do should be to upgrade the Willow Shade Mansion. However, upgrading the Willow Shade Mansion requires filling it with strange avatars, which requires strange lifespan and various martial arts. Currently, the strange lifespan in hand is not enough, so we can leave it aside for now.

But what actually drives all of this is the [hearth].

After only a moment's thought, he made his decision and threw five hundred years of the demon's lifespan into the [heart of the furnace].

[You realize you've hit a bottleneck, a bottleneck you can't break through using current methods. If the [Furnace Core]'s initial purpose was to transform your body into a giant furnace, then you are currently the perfect embodiment of that. The furnace fire burns constantly within you, causing your body to rise at an endless rate, but you are still not satisfied with the speed of this rise.]

Based on past experience, you began searching for a solution. Fortunately, your current knowledge is quite extensive, with various martial arts techniques allowing you to draw inferences from one instance to another. You attempted to use divine will to combine the furnace fire with your divine will, but after only a brief attempt, you discovered that this method was not feasible. The essence of the furnace fire is combustion, while divine will represents your spirit. Combining the two would only harm your three souls and seven spirits. It might work as a temporary burst of power, but it was completely unsuitable as a core technique.

[When divine intervention failed, you began to try countless other methods. After trying numerous approaches, you realized that while the fire in the hearth might be endless, there was always a limit to how much it could sustain you. To raise that limit, you might need a sublimation of your very essence, or perhaps there were other methods as well.]

[You have merged the [Bright Spirit Body] and the [Furnace Fire] together. The [Bright Spirit Body], representing essence, and the [Furnace Fire], representing energy, are remarkably compatible, almost as if they complement each other. The Furnace Fire, which originally only flowed within your body, has begun to assimilate into it, and you feel as if your very essence has changed.]

This is not a feeling, but a fact that is happening. The flames of transformation can no longer be called furnace fire; you call them spiritual fire. At this point, they are no longer just flowing within your body, but rather as if they are condensing into a vast, indescribable ocean of spiritual fire in a void, and this ocean of spiritual fire continues to grow as it circulates within you.

[You refer to your current state as the Sea of ​​Qi, and the cultivation technique that combines the [Bright Spirit Body] and [Furnace Fire] is named [Furnace Sea], representing the twin blossoms of essence and qi. If one day you cultivate the [Furnace Sea] to its peak, perhaps you will achieve the perfection of the twin blossoms. Adding another technique would bring you to the gathering of the three blossoms at the top.]

[Has learned [Furnace Sea] (A)]

Bai Qian looked at the panel thoughtfully. This should be the second Class A martial art she had learned, and from her feeling, it was more powerful than [Sword Qi Surge].

She had already sensed the so-called ocean of spiritual fire. Even without considering anything else, the amount of spiritual fire she could now mobilize was nearly twice as much as before, not to mention the improvement in her physical fitness.

But can this ocean of spirit fire be combined with the Willow Shade Mansion? This thought popped into my head subconsciously; I might try it later.

Three flowers gather at the top?

My gaze lingered on that line of text for a long time before I slowly looked away.

He touched the blood beads in his pocket, and without stopping, he decisively fed most of the blood beads to [Sugar].

[[Sweet Sugar] gains the following traits: Decay (Tier 1), Regeneration (Tier 2).]

[The Agility trait has been enhanced; currently at Tier 2.]

A string of information came into view.

【Corruption (Tier 1): Attacks from Bloodforged weapons inflict a corrosive poison, the intensity of which depends on the trait tier.】

[Regeneration (Tier 2): Bloodforged weapons can regenerate themselves when damaged.]

Looking at the characteristics that appeared first, Bai Qian gently raised her eyebrows.

Suddenly, I became curious: if [Candy] had hundreds of stacked traits, what would happen if that sword were swung...?

Suddenly, I became interested in collecting blood beads.

It's a bit late QAQ. There are still two more chapters to go, but I should post them in the morning. After posting this chapter, I'll go to sleep. I'll wake up at nine in the morning and start writing, and I'll post them as soon as possible. According to the schedule, it should be about right? I guess I'm adjusting my sleep schedule.

Love you all, please continue reading!

py, Teacher Baishui's book

Chihaya Aine Has Nine Wings

Volume 1: 242. Use lotus seeds to make soup.

Yang Gong was not in Taiheng City. To be precise, he was located on a small mountain outside Taiheng City, a barren mountain where no vegetation grew.

Bai Qian felt that the location was similar to the dilapidated temple she was in when she first transmigrated. In fact, Yang Gong was also in a temple, only this temple was much larger than that dilapidated temple.

Of course, it was also very dilapidated, with ruins everywhere, and you could even see several corpses lying next to the temple, as if it had been the site of a massacre.

[[? ?] Acquired Trait: Blood Control (Tier 1)]

Bai Qian followed behind Bai Yao, lost in thought the whole way, and also used the remaining blood bead to try refining other things.

For example, the boots she was wearing at that moment, given to her by Pei Huan, were used to try refining with blood beads.

Currently, the [Blood Sacrifice Method] seems quite versatile. Basically, any object can be refined using the [Blood Sacrifice Method], and the effects produced so far seem to be quite good. If there are enough Blood Orbs, even without stacking hundreds of traits on a single weapon, it would be possible to mass-produce something similar to initiating a sacrifice.

Name the boots "[Rice Cake]".

"It's just ahead." Bai Qian was still thinking about how to obtain as many blood beads as possible when she heard Bai Yao say this.

Banyan tree?

What came into view was a huge banyan tree. If we were to describe it, it would probably be somewhat similar to the Willow Shade Mansion, except that the willow tree in the Willow Shade Mansion covered half the world, while the banyan tree in front of us only covered most of the dilapidated temple.

The tree roots were intertwined, but their withered state was clearly visible, as if they had been washed by flames. The entire temple gate seemed to have been forcibly smashed open by something, carving out a huge passage.

"There's something wrong with this place." Bai Yao raised her eyebrows slightly as she looked at the ruins scattered all over the ground.

It felt like it had been ransacked... or rather, it was exactly like it had been ransacked.

Seeing this, Nian Qi shook his head, unaware of the situation either.

She had no recollection of the scene at that moment, and she didn't even know about the temple. She rarely left home, and most of her knowledge of Taiheng City came from her older sister.

The two remained where they were, still lost in thought about how to build the Willow Shade Mansion. Bai Qian didn't hear the footsteps and bumped into Bai Yao.

Bai Yao gently helped Bai Qian up.

"Let's just go in," Bai Qian suggested. Compared to the other two, she had no worries at all; she was simply carefree.

"Hmm." Although Bai Yao still had some concerns about the temple, since Bai Qian had said so, she could only bury her concerns in her heart.

Bai Qian walked at the front, slowly entering the temple. Dust floated in the air under the sunlight. The scene inside the temple was no different from what was seen from the outside. Withered tree roots stretched out in the temple, charred marks were everywhere, and there were some charred black bodies that looked like they had been torn apart by wild beasts.

"It looks like it was burned in a fire." Bai Yao's gaze was focused on the charred bodies lying in the temple, and she saw that her younger sister had squatted down next to these bodies at some point.

Her fair, delicate fingers gently poked at the bodies, then regretfully withdrew them.

Bai Yao glanced at her, unsure of what she was thinking.

Ignoring Bai Qian, he continued walking forward.

As the three of them walked forward, the tree roots surrounding them seemed to come alive, and began to stir faintly.

It wasn't an illusion; these tree roots were indeed moving.

A slight, strange sound was heard, and a tree branch suddenly swelled up and exploded in front of the three people, splashing a pale green liquid onto the ground.

It was like igniting some kind of special fuse; almost simultaneously, one branch after another swelled up and then burst open at the same time.

The pale green liquid obscured their vision.

Bai Qian blinked and looked to the side.

Or rather, looking behind these water-like curtains of liquid, a charred black monster, its torso the only thing remaining, had somehow hidden behind the water curtain, using the splashing liquid as cover, and was slowly approaching the three of them.

A moon-white spiritual flame quietly rose, easily dissolving the pale green liquid. Bai Qian then grabbed the head of the charred monster.

It didn't realize what was happening, or rather, although it did realize it, it was afraid to accept reality.

He pinched down, his neck slumped, and black dust splattered on his hand as the monster's corpse rolled on the ground.

There was no blood; even when the head exploded, only some strange, ashes-like things splattered out.

Bai Yao helped Bai Qian brush off the dust that had been splashed on her body before looking at the body on the ground again.

"demon?"

“Strange,” Bai Qian replied definitively.

It's quite easy to distinguish between the lifespan of demons and the lifespan of the supernatural; you can tell at a glance.

"Judging from this, it doesn't seem like that Master Yang had good intentions." Bai Yao frowned slightly.

"That's good," Bai Qian nodded.

Bai Yao couldn't help but glance at her.

As she continued forward, she saw more and more charred tree roots, intertwined together, creating a sinister and terrifying atmosphere, which gave Bai Qian some inspiration.

Looking at it this way, perhaps the construction of the Liuyin Mansion later on could serve as a reference?

Two more charred black monsters appeared in the middle, just like the ones before, but Bai Qian crushed them with one hand.

Bai Yao kept staring at Bai Qian without saying anything.

Walking deeper into the temple, to the location of the banyan tree trunk, the massive trunk gives one an inexplicable sense of oppression. Like the surrounding tree roots, most of the banyan tree's trunk has been charred. Looking from the bottom forward, all you can see is pure charred color.

Bai Qian was pondering why this banyan tree was called Yang Gong. If there was a proper name, it should be called Banyan Tree.

"Those vengeful ghosts on the road just now were not intentional on my part." An aged voice came, and an old man in a black robe slowly appeared in front of the banyan tree. His face was extremely old, and his voice was so slow that it seemed as if he could not breathe. His body was hunched and his skin was full of wrinkles.

"Because of the previous changes, I have no way to control them. They are also pitiful people. They were burned alive by the Lotus Sect. Their resentment after death is locked here. They will attack the living indiscriminately."

He explained what had just happened the moment he appeared.

"Are you Master Yang?" Bai Yao didn't mention what had just happened, but frowned and looked at the old man opposite her and asked.

"It's me," the old man sighed and nodded.
