Chapter 8: Great Joy
Cough cough cough
Completely inexcusable, quite disgusting, no wonder the few disciples of the Floating Cloud Sect, despite their formidable strength, can only endure in a desolate village, neither human nor ghost.
Ten portions of gray luck have precisely increased the cultivation progress of the second layer of the Returning Heaven Scripture to 1%, while the upper limit of magical power has just reached 200 points
The current time is approximately 2 PM, and that terrifying black mist appeared in the evening, therefore he has two hours of adventure time
I am so happy
alienation pollution level + 0.001%
Alienation pollution level + 0.1%
The cold and cruel information dragged Li Si out, but soon after, a small red mushroom, swaying in the wind and looking delectable, sprouted from Li Si's belly
The spell to ward off evil erupts, with enemies present but not myself, and with myself present but no enemies.
But what does this count as
Although he was aware that this behavior was extremely dangerous, he was even more certain that if he did not take advantage of this period before the members of the Floating Cloud Sect became suspicious to accumulate his first pot of gold, his fate could very well become quite dire
The exorcism spell was cast, revealing a multitude of crimson skulls. Great威天龙, uh—Li Si collected his thoughts, no longer daring to indulge in reckless joy, and all other thoughts vanished, as he currently possessed no magical power.
... ...
Great joy
He is incredibly bold, directly consuming a portion of gray luck to exchange for a luxurious gift package that restores 1,000 points of magical power within the span of a single incense stick.
Following this, he cast a protective spell on himself, creating a powerful protective aura
Continue the great joy
Ah, my sorrow
So, who would not like grass
Li Si's degree of alienation pollution surged directly to 40%, with a mana consumption of 500 points, yet the gray fortune was also obtained in a substantial amount of ten portions
Alienation pollution level + 0.1%
Li Si was overjoyed in place for a long time, but in the end, he did not attract any joyful little mushrooms. Could it be that all the joyful little mushrooms in this area have been wiped out by him?
Several dark shadows suddenly sprang up ahead, but before they could come within five meters of Li Si, they were forcibly suppressed in mid-air by an invisible force
There was no other way; Li Si quickly consumed two portions of gray luck, adding them to his bloodline and foundation, raising the evolution degree to 12.4%, while simultaneously reducing the degree of aberrant pollution to 38%
Oh, sadness
Smelting
Li Si swiftly eliminated five sorrowful mushrooms, causing the degree of aberrant pollution to rise rapidly by 40%. He consumed 250 points of mana and obtained five portions of gray fortune
The cold information pulled Li Si back to reality, and immediately, he discovered a small blue mushroom protruding from his forehead, which was a symbol of blue melancholy, but that was not important
Oh, no one understands my sorrow
Without the protective barrier against evil spirits, Li Si felt a surge of joy in his heart. However, in less than three seconds, he was dragged into a blissful illusion. The goddess appeared once more, her smile enchanting, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and her long...
Boom
Due to a gray fortune, it is possible to restore 1000 points of mana
Great joy
Whoosh!
As for the remaining ten portions of gray fortune, although they can be used to learn the Heart-Calming Mantra or the Iron Prison Law, it is evident that his greatest limitation at present is the cap on his magical power
Comfortable, very happy
Whoosh!
The profit is not very high, indeed making money is truly difficult
Li Si felt greatly comforted, his happiness revealing eight teeth
Great joy
Then, he was overjoyed
As his thoughts stirred slightly, yet another hundred portions of gray firewood were refined into a single portion of gray fortune, and regarding those remnants of strange herbs, he could not be bothered to organize them.
alienation pollution level + 0.001%
Although his current mana limit is only 100 points, if he truly encounters danger, he can completely expend this portion of luck. This 1,000 points of mana will last for a period of time, and with such ample mana, combined with his Taoist exorcism spell and demon-slaying stab, he should be able to escape back to the desolate village
Boom
In addition, Li Si also prepared a trump card for himself, which was a portion of gray luck that he had just refined. He did not rush to use it, but instead chose to keep it.
He does not intend to go up the mountain, but will stay at the foot of the mountain
The cost he incurred was merely 0.014% of the alienation pollution level
Oh, it is a transition from joy to sorrow
Slay the foreign sorrow mushroom and obtain one hundred portions of gray firewood
I am very happy today, I must be overjoyed
However, for Li Si, this is a benefit
Today is a day of great joy
Therefore, last night, he had already made a decision: once he possessed the ability to protect himself, he must quickly separate from the members of the Floating Cloud Sect. He could not gamble on the assumption that everyone else was a good person
This is no joke; others cannot be exempt from alienation and pollution, so why should you be able to?
If he is unfortunate, he will become the elixir of the Floating Cloud Sect's members
Li Si then stopped, first consuming two portions of gray luck to raise the evolution degree of his bloodline and root bones to 12.6%, and further reducing the aberration pollution degree to 38%. Only then did he pour the remaining three portions of gray luck all at once into enhancing the Daoist technique of the Demon-Slaying Spike.
Whoosh!
The only trouble is that
At this point, the enhancement effect of the Demon Slayer Spike has changed to ーー
If he is lucky, he will be treated as medicinal waste by that terrifying old lady
Alienation pollution level + 0.3%
Thus, he began to strengthen the Returning Heaven Sutra, where a portion of gray fortune could enhance the cultivation progress by 0.1% and increase the mana limit by 10%, which translates to an increase of 10 points
It is alright
Requires 50 points of mana release, effective attack range of 100 meters, dealing base damage plus an additional 400% damage to the target
At this moment, Li Si is heading west towards the desolate village, where there is a mountain. The mountain is quite barren, but it is certainly abundant with unusual grasses and peculiar trees.
Effortlessly earning six bundles of gray firewood, he moved forward without pause, specifically heading towards areas abundant with strange grasses. He didn't even need to take action himself; his enhanced fourfold anti-evil aura was sufficient to sweep away everything. The speed at which he eliminated monsters was astonishing.
The Joyful Mushroom in this area has likely gone extinct, while the Sad Mushroom can still be farmed; however, its cost-effectiveness is too poor, making it unworthy of friendship
I am so happy
Li Si charged forward recklessly, utilizing the exorcism aura, and successfully eliminated one hundred and four strange herbs before this exorcism aura was finally broken.
In the dim light of the sky, Li Si was walking alone in the wilderness, a full three miles away from the desolate village
A violent bout of coughing, with blood streaks being coughed up, indicates that the body has reached a very serious level of weakness
Whoosh!
It is the weakest type of exotic grass, so weak that they do not even qualify to pierce through the evil energy field. Li Si does not even need to take action; they are simply eliminated.
In the face of survival, concepts such as morality are nothing but illusory matters
At this point, he has exactly 200 points of mana remaining
In one breath, a great joy of ten consecutive wins
Li Si scorned it, yet he still prepared to gather the alien grass, as it offered the highest cost-performance ratio. With the same one hundred portions of gray firewood and the same 50 points of mana, it surprisingly only accumulated 0.1% of the alienation pollution degree.
In a matter of seconds, Li Si realized that his goddess had run off with someone else, leaving him utterly heartbroken
Simple, convenient, quick, and effective
Wait a moment
Li Si let out a long sigh, feeling a deep sorrow within. The sadness surged from within, flowing like a river, and the desolation was impossible to suppress. Oh, sorrow, why are you so sorrowful
