Chapter 0009 Origin

This has nothing to do with the so-called descendants of the Qin family and their family heritage; rather, it is related to the Qin and Qing dynasties of the previous life

The reason is quite simple, it is naturally due to the efforts of the Qin and Qing dynasties

In order to maintain the existence of Yue'er and prevent her from falling into a deep sleep again due to insufficient spiritual energy supply, Qin and Qing, under Yue'er's urging, engaged in spiritual energy cultivation frequently. However, their efforts were merely a drop in the bucket, yielding no significant progress. As they watched Ling'er’s condition deteriorate increasingly, they were on the verge of resigning themselves to fate and allowing Yue'er to sleep. Yet, during one of their nighttime outings to relax, an unexpected situation suddenly arose.

Then Qin and Qing got back on their bicycles, folded up the kickstands, and began to stroll around the Shinjuku district with the moon, who had once again entered a state of spiritual transformation

... ...

Indeed, the topic has strayed a bit. Now, let us return to the main subject and discuss how he obtained this legendary artifact

Therefore, Qin and Qing have reason to believe that they must have inadvertently harmed themselves, and then somehow their blood activated the Demon Refining Pot, which, along with their fragile souls, broke through the spatial barrier and entered this seemingly paradoxical parallel world, which is largely consistent with the original world except for certain differences in the lives of specific individuals and the details of events.

Yes, a woman, and a rather beautiful one at that, dressed in a black office lady uniform that clearly accentuates her exquisite curves. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she is not wearing glasses. Although she appears somewhat tipsy and her makeup is smudged—whether from sweat, alcohol, or some other liquid—it is still evident that she is in her mid-twenties, around twenty-six or twenty-seven, and quite youthful.

After that, Qin and Qing were no longer aware of the matters at hand

The expression was filled with intoxication, the gaze was hazy, and one was swaying unsteadily while walking down the street

The mysterious light that appeared on the surface of the demon-refining pot lasted for two to three minutes, and then suddenly flashed, retracting back into the thickly patinated body of the brass pot, showing no further response

That person fell to the ground

It was an afternoon when a batch of newly excavated artifacts, awaiting cleaning, was delivered to the nearest and most qualified public museum to the excavation site, where he was responsible for their registration and safekeeping. Everything went smoothly, and there were no unexpected incidents. However, unexpectedly, at the very last moment, as the personnel from the archaeological team were leaving the warehouse, for reasons unknown, one of them misstepped, kicking their left foot against their right heel, stumbling and falling to the ground, hitting their head against the corner of a nearby storage box.

Single, the age of not having a girlfriend is basically the same as the age of birth, undoubtedly one of the numerous apprentice members qualified to become a great magician

At that time, Qin and Qing were fearful—after all, he was an ordinary person before his time travel. Although he was engaged in work closely related to archaeology, to put it bluntly, he was merely a logistics manager in charge of the warehouse, having hardly experienced much. How could he possess the strong psychological resilience that is typically honed by general archaeologists through their extensive encounters with burial sites?

Qin and Qing drove their car to the woman and inquired, "Hey, are you alright"

However, there is a prerequisite, which is that the user must be strong! Otherwise, all of the aforementioned is in vain

Thus, Qin and Qing surrendered at that moment, shouting for help and urging Yue'er to take action against the monsters. However, before they could proceed, the Demon-Refining Pot, which had been dormant within his body, suddenly sprang forth. Without a word, it pounced like a famished ghost, directly ensnaring the monster and dragging it into its pot. Only then did it leisurely return to stand before Qin and Qing, and with a flash, it re-entered his body.

"Who are you?" The woman opened her hazy eyes and asked with a look of confusion at the indistinct face before her

Therefore, in order to enhance its own strength—objects refined by the Demon Refining Pot can be used by the master, as well as to restore the former glory of the Demon Refining Pot—refining objects is merely the most basic ability of the Demon Refining Pot. There are other more powerful abilities sealed within it. Additionally, nurturing one's own familiar, Yue'er, since that day, apart from the daily training of the priest, Qin and Qing have added another task to their daily routine—that is to seek out ghosts and monsters.

And this search has lasted for more than six months

At that time, he was still a curator working in a museum located in the heart of the Central Plains. Apart from being busy with archaeological excavations and the collection of unearthed artifacts, his daily life was quite leisurely, as he generally had nothing to do for 24 hours a day. Therefore, his greatest hobby was to read online novels or to watch newly uploaded movie resources on websites during the weekends

Then the question arises, since it has become an ordinary bottle, how does it now possess the ability to absorb ghostly entities

Qin and Qing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately stopped their cycling, turned back, and returned to the woman's side

However, this time, the ghost did not notice, but instead found a person

Moreover, what is most critical is that the area that was struck is one of the vital points of the human body, the temple. The level of danger, while it did not claim his life on the spot, still resulted in a profusion of blood, with droplets splattering everywhere

In any case, when he wakes up again, he will have become the current Qin and Qing, not only possessing a house and a temple, but also inheriting a considerable amount of savings, thus becoming the master of the shikigami, Yue'er

At that time, he also learned the name of the Demon Refining Pot, as well as some basic functions—refining objects

This is another important reason that prompted Qin and Qing to turn back and show concern for her. Otherwise, if it were another aunt here, who would care whether she would encounter any problems

He hardly engages with anime and plays very few games, which is also the reason why, despite being at the well-known location of Fengzhiji High School, he remains completely oblivious to certain important characters around him

However, in the context of the original world where the end of the Dharma had occurred, the Demon Refining Pot, whose power had nearly dissipated, also exhausted its final energy, completely sealing its might and transforming into an ordinary-looking brass bottle

This is just like how Qin and Qing would not spare a second glance if it were changed to a man; the influence of hormones is that simple and direct

The matters of this evening are not yet concluded, and there is no need to hastily open the lid and take out the contents. Not only is the timing inappropriate, but the location is also unsuitable. Therefore, it would be better to wait until everything is finished before addressing it at home.

Qin and Qing understood that once the refining was completed, there was no need to manage it further. With a shift in thought, they directly retracted the Demon Refining Pot back into their body

Thud

After all, the Spirit-Refining Pot is a treasure that was crafted by the goddess Nüwa as a replica of the Celestial Cauldron (or the Cauldron of Creation). While it may not possess many other powerful functions, its ability to collect and refine objects is extraordinarily formidable. Whether you are a mountain spirit, a ghost, a precious stone, metal, or even a living creature, anything that exists in this world can be absorbed and refined by it

As for how this divine artifact ended up in the hands of someone as obscure as Qin Heqing...

He encountered a ghost

What?
