It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

After the wandering soul was promoted to a ghost, it regained its consciousness before death. However, the recruitment of ghosts only takes once every ten years. Most of the ghosts survived in the Yin Land by absorbing Yin Qi after waking up, which is just like drinking wind.

Such delicious food is a hundred times or a thousand times better than the cold wind!

It can also help with spiritual practice...

Logically speaking, the ghost who just got out of the pit cannot resist this temptation.

"Hmm... I should ask the kitchen to make another one."

Xia Li pondered for a while and finally gave in.

Xiao Min was overjoyed when she heard this.

I secretly thought that no matter how careful you are, you will still be unable to escape. After two or three years, when your cultivation level has stagnated and you lose the favor of Lord Yin Jiang, I will teach you how powerful I am. Hehehe...

Just when he was feeling so proud, he heard Xia Li chuckle.

"...But who's going to tell the kitchen to redo it?"

"Of course it is the servants and others. How dare we trouble Madam to move?"

After hearing this reply, Xiao Min was very confused.

I feel that the other party's words are incoherent and a bit confusing.

"That's how you put it~."

The soft voice sounded again, reaching the maids' ears. The owner of the voice gave people a feeling that she was easy to bully, but the words she said at this moment were like a bucket of ice water, chilling the four maids from head to toe...

"But can you still walk... oh, I mean, don't you have stomachaches?"

Xiao Min and the other three servants were shocked when they heard this.

They did have some stomachache, but they thought they were overeating.

——Could it be...!

Before they could think more, the pain in their stomach suddenly intensified.

At this moment, Xia Li's soft voice also floated into the ears of the four girls.

"...Is there a feeling of increasing pain, gradually intensifying and spreading throughout the trunk and limbs? As if the next moment you will be completely powerless and can only fall to the ground and twitch."

With every sentence the girl spoke, everything she described was reflected back to Xiao Min and others.

And finally.

They actually fell to the ground, twitching.

"You, you...you...you poisoned me!"

Among the four maids, Xiao Min is the strongest and has reached the sixth rank.

So she was able to speak after falling down, but her teeth were shaking so badly that it was extremely difficult for her to utter just a few words.

"Eh? What kind of poison?"

Xia Li slowly squatted down in front of the other person's face, put his hand beside his ear, and made a listening gesture.

"I can't quite hear you. Is this poison you're talking about strong? Can it kill people?"

Xiao Min was shocked...

At this moment, she finally came to her senses!

Fang Shengsheng definitely knew that there was something wrong with the food, she definitely knew it... It was just a pity that she was too careless and even had a lucky mentality when the other party deliberately made things difficult for her.

At this time, Fang Shengsheng had something else in mind.

She asked "what poison?", was she trying to get me to tell her what was hidden in the reception? Then she hinted that the poison she put in was very strong and could kill people...

But it was a warning to her that if she didn't tell the truth, she would bear the consequences.

——Vicious, cruel and so decisive!

——He was so unscrupulous on the first night after entering the mansion.

Xiao Min endured the tearing pain in her body and tried to look up at the person squatting in front of her.

She saw a smiling face.

The teeth are snow-white, the eyebrows are curved, and the smile is bright...but such a sweet smile lacks any warmth.

Icy.

The man who was smiling had extremely cold and indifferent eyes.

In a trance...

Xiao Min seemed to see a snake. She was bitten by a snake before so she was particularly afraid of it. She could not forget the look of the snake staring at her, just like now.

Her body was twitching, but her frightened heart was shaking even more violently than her body.

Fang Shengsheng's snow-white teeth.

——It’s the bared fangs of a poisonous snake!

"I, I'll tell you...anything...I'll tell you everything, spare my life..."

"Yeah, it would have been better if it was like this earlier."

Hearing that Xiao Min was going to make a full move, Xia Li nodded in satisfaction. He then touched the other person's head with a look of pity, as if he was touching a bamboo rat that had suffered from heatstroke.

"Be good~, stand up and talk without shaking."

Xiao Min trembled even more violently when she treated her gently.

"Sheng... Madam Sheng, can you detoxify me first?"

"I am going to die..."

Really.

Xiao Min felt like she was about to die from the pain.

Even with Fang Shengsheng's support, he still felt dizzy and couldn't even stand steadily.

"Then you should explain it quickly."

"After I finish talking, I can give you the antidote. After all, Shengsheng, I am not a vicious woman. How can I watch a lovely maid die in front of me?"

Having said that, Xia Li wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

Her face showed the sadness and sorrow of Daiyu burying flowers...

Chapter 25 () may be late, but it is never absent!

Under the threat of death, Xiao Min quickly confessed everything.

Even though food is really helpful for spiritual practice, it’s just that the newly promoted seventh-grade ghost cannot handle it, and will be too weak to be replenished, which will damage the foundation.

Including the main messenger, Madam Yi, who has used this trick to secretly harm many ladies...

Xia Li felt that Xiao Min did not tell the whole truth. After all, she had tested Xiang Yi before, and that guy looked very scheming on the surface, but in fact he was weaker than ordinary people.

This kind of sinister trick that even Lu Man couldn't detect would be difficult for the other party to come up with given their intelligence.

of course.

Xia Li didn't care whether Xiao Min was trying to divert the target of hatred, she had her own judgment. In addition, the four people who just fell to the ground and twitched in pain were not poisonous, but a unique method of hers.

Xia Li absorbed a huge amount of Yin energy, although most of this Yin energy went to fill the 'black hole', making her cultivation no stronger than other newly promoted Yin souls...but in the process of madly absorbing Yin energy, she still gained some benefits.

awareness.

Or it can be called consciousness, spirit, or something like that.

She is much stronger than ordinary ghosts!

The most obvious difference is that the perception she releases can cover the entire No. 3 Yunyin Land without being detected by other Yin generals.

In addition, she can cause targets with cultivation levels lower than that of Yin generals to experience hallucinations.

It's not an illusion.

There were only illusory physical sensations such as pain, numbness, and itching. If one was a person with a strong will, the effect would probably be very poor... The four maids suffered this fate, and they thought Xia Li had secretly used a deadly poison.

--Huh?

Just as the girl was thinking about how to deal with Xiao Min and others.

She suddenly discovered something extremely bizarre...

A drop of water!

Xia Li blinked to make sure he was not hallucinating.

It's really a drop of water...

It was about the size of a little finger, and had a very standard shape. It rose from the maid Xiao Min's fontanelle, which was the top of her head, and then slowly floated out to her chest and abdomen.

When the drop of water was about to fall on her, she subconsciously blocked it with her hand.

But I didn't touch anything, it was like a vague cloud that could be seen but not touched.

The maid Xiao Min was so frightened by the action of raising her hand that she took a half step back. Sheng Sheng noticed that there was an inexplicable doubt in her eyes, and she immediately realized... Xiao Min can't see!

That drop of water.

Finally entered Xia Li's body.

At the moment of contact, a flash of inspiration suddenly passed through my heart... In my consciousness, it seemed as if something had pushed away the clouds and mist, and light shone out from the vast depths.

In just a moment, she saw something.

It is hard to describe its beauty, the patterns are complex and delicate, yet it makes people feel simple and unpretentious...

It was placed upright in the middle of his chest, like a treasure vase, or a wine container used in ancient sacrifices. The surroundings were dark, but only this vessel was emitting light. The light was so bright that it made the vessel look like glass, almost transparent!

--pot?

In a trance.

Something flashed through her consciousness, carrying some fragmented and unknown information. Xia Li savored it carefully and it seemed to be introducing the bottle on her chest.

——Ming...the light of embers is born.

——Ming cinder pot?

What the hell?

At this moment, the girl felt dizzy.

The amount of information flowing through at that time was so huge that even with her excellent awareness, it took a while for the system to start running again.

"Oh my goodness—!"

After restarting, Xia Li was shocked.

She almost screamed out loud...

——Is this, this meow, a benefit for time travelers?

It’s hundreds of years late!

——No, no!

——It was distributed at the beginning, but it could not be activated due to insufficient energy.

Case closed, case closed at last.

Xia Li was filled with sorrow...it turned out that this thing called [Mingjin Pot] was the culprit that caused her to leak energy infinitely during her practice and it took her ten times as long as others to become a ghost!

The 'black hole' in the body is it.

It has absorbed a huge amount of Yin energy over the past one hundred and thirty years, and now it is finally activated!

The drop of water that floated over the maid Xiao Min's head was the first effect after its activation...

Xia Li's stepfather, Xia Ye, has been wandering around various ruins for many years. When he was a child, he often brought back some treasures that were said to be from the previous dynasty, so she is not unfamiliar with such items.

Treasures can be roughly divided into two categories.

Functional and combat types!

This pot.

It is a functional treasure that helps the owner to practice.
