"In ancient times, Liyue was full of miasma and demons. The corpses of the demons that died in the war between demons and gods exuded resentment, which gradually turned into karma, corroding their lives and turning them into demons. In today's Liyue, there are still some places that seal the corpses of the defeated demons. Ordinary people may be corroded by karma just by getting close..."

As he spoke, Xiao glanced at the [Evil Spirit Assassin].

"However, your situation is different from that of ordinary demons. They acquire karma from the outside, but your body emits karma on its own. Moreover, the karma on your body is much weaker than that of normal demons, and it doesn't seem to come from the devil..."

"Well, great immortal, I know a little about the reason... My ancestors may have some special bloodline, and I seem to have activated this bloodline accidentally, so I became like this now. So, great immortal, what should I do in this situation?"

"...I have karmic obstacles, and now they are leaking out, so it's hard for ordinary people to get close to me. But you don't seem to be in any abnormal state, and you seem to instinctively want to get close to me. I'll give you two choices."

As he spoke, Xiao took out a golden talisman.

"Take this and go to places where immortals are said to live. Tell them that you were summoned by the Great Sage to subdue demons, and ask them to seal your bloodline. There is another way. Follow me to deal with the monsters nearby and let me see how you perform."

After saying that, the young man disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived downstairs of Wangshu Inn.

"...What kind of skill is this? It looks so cool and convenient, but can you take me with you?"

The Wangshu Inn is a bit high. There is no way but to take the elevator down.

"Come here quickly, we are going to deal with those hillbillies who have been corrupted by karma today."

Following Xiao's steps, [Evil Assassin] came to a lawn where some Hilichurls were lying on it.

They exude an ominous aura, and through identification skills, [Evil Spirit Assassin] discovered that these guys have acquired an effect of "karma", and their levels have also increased by about 5 levels.

Feeling the breath emanating from the Hillilchur Man, he discovered that his evil spirit power seemed to be, probably, similar to this thing...

"That's incredible. He didn't blame me wrongly. But then again, I don't know what his second choice would be."

There are many things in my heart that have not been answered, but the enemy in front of me must be eliminated.

The Hillilians also noticed the two of them, slowly stood up, roared, and rushed towards them.

These guys, haunted by karma, are even more violent than those you usually encounter in the wild.

But he only barely made it from E rank to D rank. For enemies of this level, the [Evil Spirit Assassin] only fought for 1 minute and eliminated all the Hilichurls.

However, in order to prevent Xiao from treating him as a demon, he did not completely liberate his undead bloodline.

During this process, Xiao next to him just watched quietly, without saying anything, and frowned from time to time.

When the battle was over, Xiao came to the side of the [Evil Spirit Assassin].

"Well done. In the battle just now, I confirmed that you were not affected by your own karma, and it seems that you really have some special bloodline... You have passed my test. Now I will give you the second choice I mentioned before."

As he spoke, Xiao took off the mask hanging on his waist and put it on.

"Become my apprentice, and I will teach you the power of the guardian Yaksha, the Yao Nuo Dance."

With the mask on, Xiao looks even more powerful than before. This kind of power really makes the [Evil Assassin] jealous.

"This ability can allow you to better control your own karma. I will pass it on to you now."

"Beep, it's detected that the adventurer has acquired a learnable skill, the Yao Jing Nuo Dance. Do you want to learn this skill?"

Chapter 74: Nuo Dance to Suppress Demons

"Beep, it's detected that the adventurer has acquired a learnable skill, the Yao Jing Nuo Dance. Do you want to learn this skill?"

"what?"

[Evil Spirit Assassin] never thought that he had just killed a few monsters here, and the young man next to him who claimed to be an immortal, who was obviously not ordinary, would actually give him a skill...

"Don't be surprised. Although I don't want to do this, at least for now, learning the Jingyao Nuo dance is the best choice for you."

As he spoke, Xiao looked at the [Evil Spirit Assassin].

"Your body will automatically emit the aura of karma. If there is no way to control it, you might turn into a demon one day. Even if you can control yourself and not lose control, the aura of karma will attract those demons that have been corrupted to attack you."

"The Yao-Soothing Nuo Dance I'm going to teach you is a way to control the power of your karma and transform it into your own ability. This way, you won't have to worry about your karma getting out of control or being attacked by evil spirits."

After hearing Xiao's explanation, [Evil Spirit Assassin] thought about it and felt that he would not suffer any loss, so he accepted the skill "Jingyao Nuo Dance" according to the prompt of the secret realm.

In an instant, he felt that there was a lot of knowledge in his mind, about how to control his own karma, how to purify the karma around him, and how to turn karma into power.

Then [Evil Spirit Assassin] opens the skill panel to confirm the situation of this skill.

Name: Jingyao Nuo Dance

Level: D (Growable)

Display the Yaksha Nuo mask that terrified gods, demons, and monsters thousands of years ago.

Inject the negative energy you possess into your body for high-intensity operation, and enter the Yaksha Nuo mask state.

While in Yaksha Nuo Mask state, the user's jumping ability and movement speed are increased.

Improves the user's ability to control negative energy.

Increases the user's attack range and attack damage.

Converts attack damage into negative energy of the type used by self.

In this state, the user's health will continue to be consumed due to the high intensity of negative energy circulation.

Growth conditions: This skill cannot be used to gain proficiency. The proficiency of the skill can be improved by destroying negative energy monsters or purifying negative energy within a certain range.

Description: Wearing the demon-killing Nuo mask, one becomes the [Dharma-Keeping Yaksha] who scare away all evils and eliminates all evils. One gains great power, but also leads to great pain. This style is called [Soothing Demon Nuo Dance].

Usage restrictions: limited to melee professions.

After reading the detailed description of Jingyao Nuo Dance, [Evil Spirit Assassin] had a feeling that this skill was simply prepared for adventurers like them with negative energy attributes.

You know, people like him, the [Evil Spirit Assassin], [Undead Knight], and [Vampire Hunter], have all more or less transformed into a half-human, half-ghost state because of their professions.

In order to ensure that his negative energy does not affect his physical condition, he can basically only maintain 80% of the level during normal combat.

It is different now, with this Jingyao Nuo Dance, which perfectly controls negative energy, they can obtain 100% or even 120% combat power.

The only regret is that because of their negative energy, the nurse's healing effect is not very good. Now they are losing blood in the battle, and their health is a little unsafe...

In fact, this skill was prepared by Lin Fei for these guys. As an easter egg, if there is an adventurer with negative energy attributes among the adventurers entering this secret realm, Xiao will appear nearby.

Then, as long as the adventurer does not experience negative energy outbursts during the subsequent battles (this situation does exist, such as the [Ghoul Knight], they are prone to enter a "hungry" state during battle, and then they may really lose control), then even if they have passed Xiao's test, they can obtain this skill.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't pass it. Xiao will take you to find the immortal and get a D-level item that suppresses negative energy.

In this way, with this extra prop, it is possible to suppress the loss of control that may occur during the battle.

Of course, it is limited to melee professions. After all, those mages can't just poke the ground with their magic wands...

"Ah, that is, Xiao Shangxian, no, Master, do you have any instructions now?"

After obtaining this skill, the attitude of [Evil Spirit Assassin] suddenly changed. He took the initiative to move next to Xiao, with a flattering tone in his words.

Xiao took off his mask and said to the [Evil Assassin].

"You are very good. You have mastered the basic method of using the Yao Jing Nuo Dance so quickly... However, this is not enough. You need more actual combat to consolidate your skills. There is an abandoned immortal cave nearby. I can sense the breath of karma from it. There should be many demons. Next, I will take you there for the next step of training."

Xiao turned around and pointed to a place not far away, while the [Evil Assassin] behind him had a more subtle expression.

"Um, Master, I have teammates who need to go back to Liyue Harbor. I am a member of the Thousand Rocks Army. How can I leave at this time..."

"That's it, then. You should be resting now. They can go back to Liyue Harbor first, and then you can practice with me. You should live here from now on. Whenever they need you, they can come to Wangshu Inn to find you. As for the Qianyan Army, I will talk to the boss."

Now that things have come to this, I can't refuse.

They first arrived in the morning, and [Evil Spirit Assassin] went here to talk to his teammates about the situation, and then the others said: Anyway, it won’t delay our mission. You have finally found such an opportunity, you must seize it well. If you want to set off at that time, we will come back to inform you...

In this way, [Evil Spirit Assassin] began his training journey with Xiao, and the other adventurers, after lunch at noon, were led by Lao Ma towards Liyue Harbor.

Arriving at the entrance of the cave, "Master, why don't I see anything special? How do we get in?"

Xiao next to them used some unknown method, and a golden rune appeared in front of their eyes. Then, a strong attraction appeared, and the two people entered the cave.

Meanwhile, in Liyue Harbor.

“(⊙o⊙)Wow, this place is really spectacular. Is this Liyue Harbor?”

Chapter 75: Infiltration

“(⊙o⊙)Wow, this place is really spectacular. Is this Liyue Harbor?”

"We are here. You can go back and rest for a few days before going there to investigate the situation. Don't worry, in theory it won't take too much time, and you will definitely be able to catch up with the ceremony of inviting the immortals..."

After saying that, Lao Ma left alone.

Several adventurers came to their residence in Liyue Harbor according to the address they found in their clothes. Several houses were connected together, which was convenient for their daily communication.

"We still have a few days to rest, why don't we take a good look at Liyue Harbor to see if there are any special characters? What if we can meet an immortal or something? Wouldn't that be a big win?"

“Come to think of it, what on earth is this Summoning the Immortal Ceremony that Old Ma keeps talking about? It sounds like Liyue takes it very seriously…”

"Isn't it called the 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals'? It must be related to the immortals. There is a chance that an immortal will come. But there will probably be a lot of people, so we may not have the chance to talk to the immortals."

"That makes sense, but it's getting a little late now, so let's set off tomorrow."

(Here is a patch. If the secret realm has not yet started to affect the outside world and an adventurer has already entered, then no matter how long the adventurer stays inside, the outside world will not be affected by the secret realm. But if two teams enter at the same time, as long as one team is wiped out, the secret realm will immediately start to affect the outside world. If an adventurer enters the secret realm that affects the outside world, the expansion of the influence range will also stop.)

…………………………Dividing line…………………………

During this period, in the outside world, at the Honkai Energy Research Institute.

The director and several professional mechanical scholars spent several days to make a preliminary analysis of the Honkai energy reactor of the Flame Prison Patrol Supernova and copied it based on its structure.

"Is this the Honkai energy reactor inside the robot? It looks so complicated. Everyone, please pay attention and don't neglect any parts. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome..."

"Well, theoretically, there should be no problem with our current design, right? As for the material, we are not sure which metal will work best. And no matter what, according to calculations, there will still be some dissipation of Houkai energy..."

"The escape of Honkai energy is not a big problem. We can put this reactor somewhere farther away. Try to find a deserted place nearby and put the reactor there."

"As for the materials, this is also relatively simple. We can offer a bounty and ask adventurers to go to the secret realm, Wind Poetry, to swipe some anti-entropy mechas, and then bring them back for us to dismantle, right? Those metals must be able to block Honkai energy, right?"

"That makes a lot of sense. I'll post the reward now..."

The project inside the institute is progressing smoothly, while outside the institute, a conspiracy is also taking place.

…………………………Dividing line…………………………

About two kilometers away from the institute, on the highway.

A large truck drove towards the institute.

The driver's name is Xiao Shuai, and he is responsible for transporting living monsters to the research institute.

Because we have been conducting experiments on Honkai energy during this period, the monster materials are being consumed very quickly.

Today, he needs to transport 15 anesthetized goblins.

There was no need to worry about safety, because in this kind of transportation, there would be a D-level adventurer accompanying him in the co-pilot seat. Even if the anesthesia effect wore off, these guys would not cause any trouble.

"Bah."

Suddenly, the car stopped.

Because, in front of the car, there appeared the corpse of a demon pig. It was very large and blocked the road.

"What's going on? Why are there monsters blocking the way here?"

"I don't know. It looks like he might have been injured. He ran all the way here, and then he collapsed... But you'd better be careful. It would be troublesome if he was a robber."

"Should we go down and take a look?"

"No, this thing is too big. If we really move it, I don't know how much effort it will take. We also have to consider the safety of the car... Let's notify the institute first and ask their security to come and help."

The two people called the research institute and told the security guard about the situation. The security guard said he would be there soon.

So the car still has to wait here for a while.

In their blind spot, in the container behind them, two red slime-like creatures used their soft bodies to crawl in through the crack in the door.

They both succeeded.

In the past few days, Parasite No. 1 relied on the body of the magic wolf to hunt some goblins and other creatures for his companions, and now they have all gained a certain degree of intelligence.

By observing the traffic patterns near the institute, they came up with a way to enter the institute.

This demon pig was the individual that was previously parasitized by parasite No. 2. It asked No. 1 to control the demon wolf and make many wounds on it, pretending that it had lost too much blood after escaping here.

Just like now, the two of them quietly entered the container, each found a goblin, and got in.

The parasite is already a D-class monster, and it is not something that a mere goblin can deal with, not to mention that it is anesthetized.
