The night passed in silence. After another typical day...
The next day.
The day after hitting the jackpot, Ye Chuan entered the Tianxuan Continent and began his busy routine.
Since he had drawn a special Physique and a Spirit Root for Hu Li, he naturally had to install them for her.
At this moment, Ye Chuan stood inside the smithy and knocked on Hu Li's door.
"Coming!"
The sound of Hu Li trotting over could be heard. After pushing open the door, she immediately saw Ye Chuan—who was shorter than her—and revealed a cute smile.
"Good morning, Boss."
That tail of hers was wagging faster than a car's windshield wipers.
"Yesterday, I said I could help you step onto the path of cultivation," Ye Chuan said.
His sentence left Hu Li stunned for a few seconds. She let out a soft sound of affirmation.
"Boss, you did say that yesterday... Could it be..."
"Yes, I have already prepared the items for you."
Under Hu Li's pleasantly surprised gaze, Ye Chuan nodded. He flipped his hand, and two distinct spheres of light floated above his palm. On the left was a fist-sized orb of pale pink glazed light; its surface flowed like liquid, radiating a warm and heavy aura. This was the Divine Fox Sacred Body.
On the right was a palm-sized sphere of dual-colored light, ice and fire. The spiritual energy within was so dense it seemed almost solid. This was the form of the Top-grade Ice-Fire Spirit Root.
Both were of Gold quality. To Ye Chuan, they were nothing special, but for the average person, they were treasures they had no right to enjoy.
"These are the things that will change your constitution and Spirit Root. In a moment, I will guide the spheres into your body. The process will be a bit painful, so bear with it."
Ye Chuan's tone was flat, yet it carried a reassuring power.
Hu Li looked at the two dazzling spheres of light. She subconsciously swallowed, then couldn't help but grip the hem of her clothes tightly, a look of nervousness on her small face.
"Although they are very big! I... I can endure it!"
Ye Chuan smiled, then motioned for her to sit on the sofa while he stood opposite her.
"Take off your clothes first."
"Oh, oh, okay." Hu Li immediately took off her clothes, though her eyelashes trembled rapidly, and her skin flushed a shade of pink.
Seeing Hu Li's nervous appearance, Ye Chuan moved his fingers slightly, manipulating his spiritual energy to slowly push the glazed-colored sphere toward her chest first.
The moment the sphere touched Hu Li, it pressed against her skin. Immediately following a soft humming sound, it dissolved into countless golden specks of light that surged into her body.
"Ngh!" Hu Li let out a muffled groan. Her brows instantly knitted together, and her small face turned beet red.
Cleansing and refining one's constitution was a painful process.
She could clearly feel countless golden specks darting chaotically through her body. It felt like myriads of fine needles were piercing her meridians, or a ball of fire was scorching her bones. Every inch of her skin was trembling slightly.
She bit her lip hard, her fluffy tail curling up tightly. Her fingernails dug deep into her palms, yet she forced herself not to make another sound.
She knew that this was a hard-won opportunity. To repay the Boss's kindness, she had to possess strength!
Seeing Hu Li's pale face, Ye Chuan tapped his finger in the air, sending streaks of pale golden light into her body. He guided the scattered specks of light to flow smoothly along her meridians.
"Hu Li, use your mind to guide the light specks to merge into your limbs and bones. The faster they merge, the less pain you will feel."
Hearing this, Hu Li hurriedly did as she was told, enduring the severe pain to mobilize the weak power within her body.
As that meager spiritual energy began to circulate, the golden specks gradually became docile. They began to flow slowly along her meridians. Wherever they passed, the meridians were widened, and the bones were tempered. Her originally frail physical body gradually became firm and solid.
An hour later, a pink phantom of a Nine-Tailed Fox actually appeared behind Hu Li. Just as it was about to turn into a soaring pillar of glazed light, Ye Chuan immediately set up a barrier to conceal it.
Nine tails bloomed like a flower, carrying a pink glow that sent ripples through the air.
Hu Li was covered in a layer of fine sweat. Her face was pale, yet it revealed a hint of healthy rosiness.
"I... I'm done," Hu Li murmured. There was now a trace of bewitching pink in her pupils.
"Mm. Next is the Spirit Root. This is the foundation of cultivation." Ye Chuan gave her no time to catch her breath, controlling the Top-grade Ice-Fire Spirit Root to fly toward her body.
As soon as it approached, Hu Li felt a wave of cool air rushing toward her face. But a second later, a scorching heat that defied description began to fill her entire body!
"Ah!" Hu Li couldn't help but cry out in a low voice, the pain causing her body to tremble violently.
Red and blue light spread madly within her body, feeling as if it were going to tear her Dantian completely apart. Bursts of stinging pain came from the location of her originally blocked Spirit Root, as if something were forcibly breaking through the shackles.
Her vision went black in bursts, and her Sea of Consciousness was in chaos. She only remembered Ye Chuan's word—persist—and clenched her teeth tightly to hold on.
Ye Chuan also noticed Hu Li's suffering. The speed at which his hands formed seals increased, and countless waves of power surged into Hu Li's body like a tide, simultaneously guiding the light to condense into the form of a Spirit Root.
Since he couldn't do a "hot-swap," this was already the easiest method available.
After an unknown amount of time, a brilliant burst of red and blue multicolored light suddenly erupted from within Hu Li. The spiritual energy around her surged wildly, forming a massive vortex of qi. In the position of the originally blocked Spirit Root, a Spirit Root emitting an ice-blue glow slowly took shape!
"It's done!" Ye Chuan withdrew his hands.
"Boss..." Hu Li looked at Ye Chuan weakly. However, she immediately noticed a steady stream of spiritual power pouring into her body, beginning to nourish her form.
"How do you feel?" Ye Chuan reached out to check Hu Li's condition. He didn't know if it was due to the change in physique, but he noticed that her figure had also changed.
Did it get bigger?
Indeed. The previously flat location had now reached the level of a handful.
"Boss..." Hu Li's ears twitched. "Can I... Can I cultivate now?"
After saying that, just as Hu Li began to examine the condition of her own body, she suddenly let out a surprised squeak. "Boss, my... my tail... tails!"
Ye Chuan took a look as well and found that Hu Li's tail had changed into nine tails. He had noticed this earlier but hadn't paid it much mind.
"The physique you awakened is called the Divine Fox Sacred Body. This constitution allows you to possess demon power of all attributes and also grants you the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Fox," Ye Chuan explained.
However, Hu Li obviously didn't understand what an Ancient Divine Fox was, and to be honest, Ye Chuan wasn't entirely clear on it either. After all, he had just drawn it yesterday, and the description hadn't been very detailed.
"But your cultivation talent is now very strong, that much is certain," Ye Chuan said. "As for a cultivation technique suitable for you... I'll go to the Treasure Pavilion and take a look in a bit."
It would be best to choose a technique suitable for the Demon Race.
"B-Boss, there's no need for a technique. In my mind, there seems to be a technique already," Hu Li said, sounding a bit unsure.
"Oh?"
"Could it be something existing within the bloodline?"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
