Chapter 35 You need acting skills to survive in the world. Master, you can't touch me!
"Why hasn't Chu Feng come out yet?!" The cultivators of Lianyan Manor were frantic, pacing back and forth as they watched the Qilin Mountain Range collapse.
"The person who came out said that he and the cultivators from Yaochi encountered the Blazing Flames, and they don't know what their fate will be!"
"Look! It's that cultivator from Yaochi!!"
Everyone turned to look at the exit of the underground palace, where a woman dressed in Yaochi white gold clothing shot out.
However, the girl was disheveled and looked quite miserable.
"Young friend." An elder from Lianyan Manor appeared in a flash, his voice urgent:
"Do you know how Chu Feng, who chased the blazing sun with you, is doing?"
Ling Qingxue, still shaken, clasped her hands and said, "Reporting to Senior, that fellow Daoist was burned to death by the flames, and I was only able to escape by chance."
Acting skills are required to survive in the outside world; otherwise, how could she have survived until now? Even if she joined Yaochi, caution is the best policy.
"Burned to death?!" The elder of Lianyan Manor was stunned, and the disciples who rushed over also changed their expressions drastically!
Despite the predictions, they still couldn't accept the outcome.
Chu Feng is one of the two outstanding disciples of Lianyan Manor, and recently he has befriended many geniuses from powerful forces who have visited the sect.
It seemed poised for a meteoric rise, only to be cut short like this?!
'Another genius has fallen...' The cultivators shook their heads.
So what if you're a prodigy? The cultivation world is just that cruel.
Shen Yun looked at the enigmatic expression on the face of the elder of Lianyan Manor in the video, and secretly hoped:
'You old man, you'd better step in and make me spend another bit more money!'
This time he spent over 37 yuan, and he only needs another 10 yuan to reach VIP2 level!
Unfortunately, the elders of Lianyan Manor dared not make a move.
This is because the woman before me is a disciple of Yaochi!
"Alas, perhaps this is Chu Feng's destined tribulation." The old man sighed, then took his leave with his disciples.
As Ling Qingxue boarded the flying boat and sailed away, a disciple of Lianyan Manor transmitted his voice:
'Elder, are we just going to let her go like this?'
"What else can you do? Do you dare to lay a hand on a Yaochi disciple in public?" The elder's tone grew colder.
He would have no scruples if it were an unknown minor cultivator, but this is a disciple of the Holy Land!
If someone were to act recklessly in public, Lianyan Manor would not be able to withstand Yaochi's wrath.
'This woman possesses a powerful aura; she might have obtained the Source of Heavenly Burning!' The old man's eyes gleamed.
'Go back and ask the master of the manor how to handle this!'
'Yes! '
……
"Boring." Shen Yun was speechless.
"Never mind, I'll go play with my Blazing Heaven Source first!"
Ling Qingxue is currently not in any danger. Even if he logs off, he will still receive game notifications if his character encounters danger.
After exiting the game, Shen Yun raised his right index finger and with a thought, a wisp of red flame rose from his fingertip.
The flames flickered in the wind, their red color radiating a divine glow.
The subdued raging flames were very gentle and unaware of their violent and scorching nature.
"In the past, I wouldn't have even dared to dream of a treasure of this quality." Shen Yun smiled and shook his finger, the flames flickering dazzlingly.
"Awoo~!" Bai Xian'er, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, seemed to be startled. Her white fur bristled and she hid behind his neck, examining the flames:
"Such a dangerous aura! Is this a feedback item that Master obtained from the game?"
She was quite familiar with the mobile game "Seeking Immortals," and when Shen Yun suddenly produced a flame with such a dangerous aura, her first thought was to check the game's feedback.
"Hmm, don't worry, it won't hurt me." With a thought, Shen Yun sent the Source of Burning Heaven into his body as a stream of light.
Only then did Bai Xian'er dare to slide off him, staring at him nervously:
"Is there really no danger, Master? It gives me a feeling of destruction, like it can burn everything."
"Of course!" Shen Yun smiled and hugged it to his chest, waving his index finger in front of her eyes:
"look."
Bai Xian'er brought her delicate nose closer and sniffed; indeed, there were no wounds.
"Haha!" Seeing her concerned expression, Shen Yun hugged her and affectionately rubbed her cheek against hers.
Today's harvest was bountiful, and the little fox was so sweet; it's truly a joyous occasion!
Bai Xian'er was still a little shy, but she sensed Shen Yun's joy and narrowed her eyes, feeling happy herself.
"Oh right, it's time to feed you something!" Shen Yun suddenly remembered that she was also a cat owner, so she got up and went to the safe.
Bai Xian'er has already broken through, so she must be out of energy.
"It's alright, Master. I can go into the mountains to find spiritual herbs to eat."
"That's too dangerous." Shen Yun opened the safe and took out a sixth-tier Heart-Nourishing Flower and a Divine Essence Spring:
"You saw the password just now. Take it yourself if you want to eat it in the future. This is undiluted Divine Essence Spring, with extremely rich spiritual energy. Be careful when you eat it."
With the contracted spirit beast's loyalty maxed out, there's absolutely no need to worry about backstabbing.
Seeing that there wasn't much spiritual spring water, Bai Xian'er shook her head: "Save the spiritual spring water for Master to drink; I'll just eat this flower."
The master also needs to become stronger, and this item must be a feedback item, which must be extremely difficult to obtain.
"It's alright, one drop diluted is enough for a whole bottle! It's enough for the two of us in the early stages!" Shen Yun took out the jade bottle and diluted a bottle for Bai Xian'er.
Although the item was valuable, he was confident that he could acquire even better treasures in the future!
Moreover, the Divine Essence Spring is only for building a foundation; its effects will gradually decrease in the later stages, so there's nothing wrong with finishing it.
After Shen Yun handed her the diluted spring water, Bai Xian'er happily swayed her three fox tails:
"Thank you, Master!"
"Don't be so polite with me." Shen Yun saw that her tail was truly beautiful and curiously touched her newly grown tail:
"Speaking of which, was that tail you had when you broke through..."
"Master, no! Ah!" Bai Xian'er cried out in alarm, abandoning her water bottle and darting into her beast-taming space.
Seeing a small dark patch on the expensive carpet, Shen Yun awkwardly picked up the water bottle from the floor and pretended to tighten the cap:
"Ahem, pour yourself a drink if you want one from now on."
Good guy!
So this is the Nine-Tailed Fox's fatal weakness?
"Hmm~." Bai Xian'er, lying in the space, didn't dare to lift her head. She covered her face with her little paws and wrapped herself with her three tails, only daring to weakly reply.
'Waaah, I'm doomed! I've embarrassed myself again!' She was completely unguarded with her master and never expected this to happen!
The initial awkwardness about getting dressed had disappeared, but now, with the awkwardness compounded, how could she possibly go out?
After Shen Yun finished packing, he took out his phone to check his text messages.
Mo Chengfeng should have been one of the members of the Demon Suppression Division who came to him before; it wouldn't be difficult for them to know his number.
Because his phone was set to not display notifications, he had many missed calls and text messages.
After flipping through a few entries, Shen Yun's fingers paused:
[Mr. Shen, this is Mo Chengfeng. We have identified the suspect who posted your video online! The perpetrator is likely the third-tier vampire demon king who recently appeared in Haicheng! A home security camera opposite Zhou's company was tampered with, and we detected his residual demonic energy using our magical artifacts!]
We now have people stationed near your villa; it would never dare to come near.
"A vampire king..." A glint flashed in Shen Yun's eyes!
In his previous life, this vampire bat demon king was quite famous in Haicheng!
He drained the life force of many cultivators in the city, turning them into dried-up corpses. He even managed to evade several hunts by the Demon Suppression Division, and killed many powerful individuals, rapidly increasing his strength to an unparalleled level.
I never expected this guy to have such a keen nose, able to smell where Bai Xian'er was standing that day.
The other party exposed him online, clearly wanting to obtain his information!
However, the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau were near his home, and this bat demon was probably not strong enough during its developmental stage, so they did not make a move out of caution.
'It's time to get them out of here; the second game update is coming soon.' Shen Yun glanced at the time:
6:47pm.
'At 7 o'clock, the whole world will go crazy again because of the game update...' He gazed wistfully at the night outside the window.
The reason is simple: this update mainly focuses on the content and feedback items!
Once players kill monsters that have preyed on humans in real life, they will receive a feedback card of the same level as the monster.
Feedback cards can be directly exchanged for items of the same quality from the character!
Clearly, this update increases the ways players can obtain cultivation items.
This will enhance the players' strength and survivability.
But monsters that have hunted humans are not easy to deal with!
For example, the bat demon in Haicheng is intelligent and powerful. Players who want to hunt it should consider whether they are strong enough.
But it was no challenge for Shen Yun!
If the bat demon dares to come, his newly acquired Blazing Flames will send it flying. Not to mention Bai Xian'er and the eighth-grade mid-level Reflective Heart-Protecting Mirror.
"It'll be perfect timing to swipe the card!" Shen Yun was about to send a message to Mo Chengfeng to tell him to withdraw his men when he raised an eyebrow:
"If I post it now, the game will update immediately, which might make the other party suspect that I have the ability to predict the future... I'll post it later."
It's always better to be cautious; we still have a few minutes left.
Soon, it was seven o'clock in the evening!
As Shen Yun stared at the game projection, a game update notification appeared as expected:
[Server-wide announcement: The game is undergoing an update that will last for two and a half hours. All players are requested to log off within 10 minutes.]
[Update Summary: This update will further enhance the concentration of spiritual energy in the real world, and also include features such as feedback cards.]
[Feedback Card: In the real world, monsters that have killed humans will automatically generate Feedback Cards! After a player kills a monster, they will obtain a Feedback Card of the same level as the monster. This card can be directly exchanged for items of the same quality from the player's in-game character! (Intentionally raising monsters to hunt humans or obtain item cards is invalidated by the game's detection system.)]
[Note: Feedback cards are for personal player use only, cannot be traded between players, but can be crafted. (Items obtained through redemption can be freely traded.)]
