"You have gathered three types of demon artifacts containing different demonic natures and induced the demonic nature within them. The demonic power of the three artifacts has poured into your body, enhancing your Level 1 Devilish Blade Intent to Level 3."
"The demonic power continues to enter your body, wandering through the governor and conception vessels, and finally condenses into a Demonic Seed at your tail pillow."
Jiang Dali opened the panel and saw the two notifications that appeared.
At that ti, seeing the notification that the level of his Devilish Blade Intent had improved, he stopped resisting the entry of demonic power into his body.
However, upon seeing the second ssage, he was very surprised that the demonic power had condensed into a Demonic Seed within his body.
"Village chief, how are you? What did you just do?"
At this mont, Wang Yuyan and Murong Qingqing both covered their noses and approached. Only after slling no stench did they lower their sleeves, looking at Jiang Dali with astonishnt.
"It might be because the power from the Heavenly Demon Zither, the Crescent Moon Saber, and the Evil Emperor Relics on was induced and poured into my body. It shouldn’t be a bad thing."
Jiang Dali said, glancing at the three treasures that had returned to calm.
Not sure if it was an illusion, he now felt that these three items were quite close to him, with a little less coldness.
More subtly, they seed to resonate with the demonic power within his tail pillow, but these items now seed to have lost so of their demonic nature.
"After absorbing so demonic power, have these three items lost so of their demonic nature? I don’t know if it will recover."
Jiang Dali handed the Heavenly Demon Zither to the anxious Murong Qingqing.
Seeing Murong Qingqing carefully examining it, fearing that the zither would be damaged, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
He then claid the need to calm and regulate his inner breath and closed his eyes, carefully examining the demonic introduction displayed on the sub-level page approaching the Extre Realm in the panel.
"Intent: Level 3 Demonic
Corresponding Intent — Blade Intent
Effect of Intent: After activating Level 3 Demonic, Blade Intent will have extrely strong demonic power deterrence for a certain period, enhancing ntal damage by 30% and physical damage by 10%, exempting 30% of enemy ntal damage.
(Note: Demonic nature is restrained by Buddha nature, and demonic nature is extrely unstable. Those without strong willpower find it difficult to endure and may go mad, recognizing no kin.)"
"Power Seed: Demonic Seed
Corresponding Acupoint — Tail Pillow
Seed Effect: Can instantly multiply the enhancent of demonic power for a certain period, and completely unleash the power of the Demonic Seed to fully enter demonic state, doubling spirit.
(Note: Once the Demonic Seed erupts, there is a great chance to enter demonic state, and those without a firm will find it difficult to turn back and will completely go down a path of no return.)"
"Impressive!"
Jiang Dali was excited after reading the information that appeared on the panel.
Despite the demonic power having strong side effects,
the effect of enhancing strength is still very powerful. At a critical mont, it’s akin to a small realm improvent in the Heavenly Human Realm, or even more.
In Jiang Dali’s view, the side effects of demonic influence on the spirit, if in a Heartless Extre ntal state, can be almost mitigated to a bearable range, greatly reducing risks.
Hence, this demonic power is indeed quite suitable and well-matched for him.
Opening his eyes, Jiang Dali looked at Wang Yuyan and Murong Qingqing waiting nearby, then glanced at the sky and said, "Alright, I’ve gained a lot this ti, it wasn’t a wasted trip. It’s already the hour of the Ox, let’s all go back and rest."
Murong Qingqing, having found no abnormalities after inspecting the Heavenly Demon Zither, sighed in relief, nodded, and then looked at the Crescent Moon Saber in Jiang Dali’s hand, "Your saber..."
Jiang Dali casually fastened the saber to his waist, "I’ll return it to Ding Peng tomorrow, the way you’re looking at , do you think this village chief would keep it for himself?
Even though this village chief grew up as a bandit, he still has so principles. Besides, this saber is too light, not suitable for ."
He said, though another thought lingered in his mind.
This Crescent Moon Saber is sothing Ding Peng will eventually abandon.
According to the ancient records, Ding Peng ultimately gave up the saber, even giving it to that scoundrel Liu Ruosong, and said sothing flamboyant—"Even with a Divine Saber in hand, one cannot beco the God of Sabers."
So even if he wants this saber, there’s no rush.
He can take it to forge a saber once Ding Peng gets bored with it.
This Crescent Moon Saber is indeed formidable.
But clearly, it’s the material with demonic nature used for forging the saber that’s formidable, not the saber itself.
Otherwise, the old Sect Master of the Demon Sect who inscribed the poem "One Night Listening to Spring Rain in a Small Tower" on the blade must have been an extraordinarily powerful figure.
Therefore, Jiang Dali is interested only in the material for forging, not just a flimsy Crescent Moon Saber.
Before heading to the dwelling to rest,
Jiang Dali gathered over twenty Mountain Village Players who had diligently guarded nearby and symbolically issued a few reward-based quiz tasks as a gesture to savor them a bit.
The result was that as soon as the quiz tasks were issued,
he realized he had overestimated the intelligence of his Mountain Village Players.
"Please answer: Are the following two phrases idioms? Please choose.
1: "Pharmacy Flying Dragon"
2: "Hotel Fierce Dog"
Answer: A: 1 is;
B: 2 is;
C: Both 1 and 2 are.
D: Neither 1 nor 2 are.
Answer ti: half a cup of tea, please begin answering quickly."
More than twenty players looked at the first question, sowhat dumbfounded, and started discussing.
"’Pharmacy Flying Dragon’ and ’Hotel Fierce Dog’, what kind of wild phrases are these? These definitely aren’t idioms. Just go with C."
"Wait a mont, wait a mont! Let’s be cautious. I think with our village chief’s intelligence, he wouldn’t fool us with such an obvious answer. One of these phrases must be an idiom."
"Why overthink it? Just use the elimination thod. I’ll choose A, if it’s wrong, you choose B, and if that’s wrong, he can pick C, so we easily get the result."
"Yeah, let’s do that! I’ll go first to answer! Better hurry before ti runs out."
A male player with a face full of pimples volunteered and imdiately stepped up.
Bowing respectfully to Jiang Dali, he said, "Village chief, I know the answer, I choose A."
Jiang Dali smiled and nodded, "Alright, you’ve noted your choice. You can step back for now. Hurry and let the others co to answer. I’ll announce the correct answer later."
Players: "!!!"
More than twenty Mountain Village Players were buzzing, all feeling imnse malice.
Shit, this village chief is indeed too clever and has a brain.
He didn’t announce whether the answers were wrong or right on the spot, leaving their idea of using elimination to find the correct answer dashed.
Now they can only rely on guessing.
Half a cup of tea is about five minutes or so.
The ti is so tight.
There’s not even ti to post on the forums and wait for help from big shots.
More than twenty people imdiately queued up quickly, all joining the battle.
So purely relied on guesses, while others used their brains to think through their choices.
But most players chose answers between A, B, and D.
Thinking that these two terms didn’t look like idioms, there might be an idiom among them, or perhaps none.
Until finally Jiang Dali announced the answer, all players were dumbfounded.
The correct answer was C—both "dicine Shop Flying Dragon" and "Hotel Fierce Dog" are idioms.
"How is this possible!?"
"Which ancestor made idioms so casually? Can you be a bit more rigorous?"
Players felt collectively hit hard, their intelligence severely insulted.
Absurd!!
How could these two casual terms possibly be idioms?
If these are idioms, then "I’m taking a dump" could be counted as an idiom too.
Other than one player who guessed and randomly chose the correct answer.
The other 22 players all chose wrong.
The player who luckily answered correctly finally received the lucky item Jiang Dali had prepared early on, the [Black Wind Village Chief’s Death Exemption Token].
This is a pitch-black waist card with the words "Black Wind" hand-carved by Jiang Dali.
It was also his sudden inspiration to imitate Divine Sword Manor’s [Death Immunity Token] and casually carved it out of wood.
The wood’s material isn’t valuable.
Just so ordinary wood picked from the tables and chairs at Divine Sword Manor.
The value lies in the "intimidation power" Jiang Dali bestowed upon the wooden token.
Divine Sword Manor’s [Death Immunity Token] is very useful in the Martial World of Tang Country.
As long as you show the [Death Immunity Token], even if you commit so wrongdoing in the Martial World, as long as it’s not heinous, generally Martial World people would choose to give Divine Sword Manor so face, and choose to forgive, thus spare you from death.
Jiang Dali felt that with the current Black Wind Village 4th-tier power’s prestige and his own stronger reputation in the Martial World, imitating Divine Sword Manor and making the [Black Wind Village Chief’s Death Exemption Token] available to players is definitely justifiable.
Moreover, players are surely very fond of such items.
The main thing is this waist card can ensure that in the Martial World, any NPC who has heard of the Black Wind Village Chief’s infamous reputation will imdiately turn away upon seeing it, ensuring they won’t make it difficult for the holder of the waist card.
Even if there really is so foolhardy person who insists on making trouble, Jiang Dali plans to later arrange for the Yin Yang Temple People to form a "door-to-door service" knife man team, to give so thick-headed individuals a few slashes and let them calm down.
The player who received the waist card from this quiz task reward was excited and thrilled.
The other 22, though frustrated and envious, also received so goodwill, cultivation points, potential points, and Silver Tael rewards, so they didn’t leave empty-handed.
Once he finished dealing with this group of players brought into the Mountain Villa.
Jiang Dali, along with Wang Yuyan and another woman, returned to their residence to seize the monts before the third period of night to take a nap and regain their energy.
...
The following morning.
After returning the Crescent Moon Saber to Ding Peng.
Jiang Dali didn’t linger any longer and agreed with Xie Xiaofeng and Ding Peng on searching for War God Temple together at the right ti, then left with Murong Qingqing and Wang Yuyan.
As for the Fist Tao God and the Yin Yang Temple People he recently recruited, Jiang Dali assigned other tasks to the three, getting them to complete them.
...
Three days later.
In the sky over a picturesque forest in Tang Country, Demon Hawk carried Jiang Dali, Wang Yuyan, and Murong Qingqing flying over.
Here turned out to be the territory of the Yin Gui Sect.
Murong Qingqing had been here before, and recognizing the familiar sights from afar, she realized Jiang Dali’s intent for coming here and softly said, "You finally agreed to co here to see Miss Wanwan."
Saying this, she glanced at Wang Yuyan by her side who imdiately seed a bit nervous upon hearing this, and sighed inwardly.
She had seen Wanwan before and heard the Heavenly Demon Sound played by Wanwan and watched Wanwan’s Heavenly Demon Dance.
At that ti, she thought, for soone as rough as Jiang Dali to have such an elf-like beautiful and deeply affectionate woman longing for him, it was truly a blessing earned over three lifetis.
But until she t the pitiful-to-see, mory-evoking Wang Yuyan, she didn’t know whom to favor.
After spending ti with Wang Yuyan for long now, making a choice between Wanwan and Wang Yuyan puts her in a position where she can only sigh in her heart.
"I really don’t know what’s so great about this numbskull? No, not numbskull, it’s a steel skull! Even so, he has managed to attract so many beautiful won? Humph! I definitely don’t like him!"
Murong Qingqing snorted lightly in her heart. Seeing Jiang Dali not replying but focusing his gaze on the buildings in the distant forest, she imdiately shifted her gaze.
But monts later, she suddenly perked up her ears, her expression changed, and she used all her power to employ the Miracle Technique of Sound Capturing quickly.
"Hiss—there seems to be fighting inside Yin Gui Sect!!"
