I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 65 Reincarnation
puff~
The scorching flames ignited the moment they touched Li Binghui, setting her entire body ablaze.

Thanks to Erhu's help, it finally worked!

Chen Mo had no time to relax.

Erhu was still clinging tightly to Li Binghui's leg. Perhaps due to excessive fear, he closed his eyes and refused to let go, muttering, "If I kill you, you wicked old woman, then my older brother will take me to see my mother. I'll never let go, even if you beat me to death!"

Chen Mo was somewhat moved by what he saw and quickly shouted, "Erhu, let go and run away. Otherwise, you'll catch fire too."

After hearing Chen Mo's words, Erhu let go of his hand and ran away.

"what!"

Li Binghui let out a shrill scream and rolled and struggled on the ground.

"You wicked bastard! You scoundrel! I curse your whole family to die, and all the men in the world to die! Die, die!!"

With a mournful wail, Li Binghui was burned to ashes, bit by bit. His ashes transformed into an extremely strong stench that permeated the forest, making Li Qingniu nauseous.

Chen Mo, however, didn't find the stench so unpleasant.

I used to really dislike it...

I fear I have taken another step down the path of being inhuman.

hateful!

He quickly composed himself, cautiously walked to the place where Li Binghui had died, and carefully examined it using his six senses. After confirming that he found nothing unusual, he then opened the control panel.

Sure enough, I saw a box with three black bars inside.

Three additional lines of text were added:

[130g of absorbable original essence detected]

[Tip: Absorbing the essence of the original solution can improve the recognition level; modification functions can be activated]

【Absorbed? 】

Chen Mo had been itching to act for a while and immediately had an idea:

absorb.

As a wave of dizziness washed over me, the subtitles in front of me changed as well:
[Original Solution Essence +130]

[Currently available original solution essence: 330]

[Consuming 1000 Original Essence will advance you to Deconstruction.]

[Current number of reads: 2]

[Currently modified feature: Available]

After reading the information in the subtitles, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief!
Finally, two read attempts were performed.

This is extremely important to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo had never quite figured out how to acquire reading attempts. But judging from his two experiences obtaining the Essence of the Original Solution, it seemed that acquiring the Essence of the Original Solution would immediately grant him reading attempts. Otherwise, it was a matter of luck... sometimes he wouldn't get any for months, and sometimes he'd get some every other day.

What Chen Mo was most looking forward to was: the modification function... it was finally usable.

Although Chen Mo wanted to modify the Ghost Curse Blood immediately to alleviate his physical symptoms, he was unsure if any unusual symptoms would occur during the modification process. To be on the safe side, he decided to find a secluded place to make the changes.

If Li Qingniu notices anything unusual, it will likely cause unnecessary trouble.

I temporarily put aside my plans to make changes and started working on the reading process.

"We have two chances to read it. Why don't we read this Li Binghui? Such a ghost is hard to find after all. It would be a waste not to read it."

Read!

As the thought took hold, a sharp pain shot through my head. Once the pain subsided, the black bar in front of me transformed into lines of subtitles.

【Name: White-Robed Demon】

[Type: Yin Water System]

[Abilities: Spirit possession, erosion by Yin water.]

[Introduction: After thirty years of cultivation, it evolved from a wandering spirit into a white-robed ghost by accumulating resentment. Before its death, it was tainted by a wisp of a spirit infant's ghostly energy. It lives in a pool of water year-round, growing stronger by luring and killing people and absorbing their life essence.]

[Note: A wisp of the infant spirit's ghostly energy came from his sister. His sister possessed an extremely powerful infant spirit's ghostly energy!]

"Before he died, he was tainted by a wisp of the ghostly aura of an infant spirit..."

Chen Mo frowned. "I remember when I read Li Hongxi's information, it said she was 'born with a wisp of ghostly aura from an infant spirit.' Did Li Binghui get this aura before she died... or did it come from her sister? Could this Li Binghui be the Li family matriarch's younger sister?"

Based on the striking resemblance between Li Binghui and Li's mother-in-law, Chen Mo felt that his deduction was likely accurate.

Then the problem is coming.

As the daughter of Granny Li, and born from Granny Li's womb, it's reasonable for Li Hongxi to be imbued with the ghostly aura of an infant spirit—it's a matter of genetic and bloodline inheritance...

But... how could Granny Li use her own methods to transfer the ghostly energy of the infant spirit to her own sister?
The reason why Li Binghui turned into a vengeful ghost after his death is probably inseparable from this wisp of ghostly energy from the infant spirit.

That makes Granny Li's methods seem rather astonishing.

As their understanding of the ghosts deepened, they felt an increasing sense of urgency from Granny Li, this wicked woman.

Li Hongxi inherited a wisp of the spirit of the infant ghost from Granny Li, and thus developed into a white-robed ghost with twenty years of cultivation.

Li Binghui absorbed a wisp of the spirit of Granny Li's infant ghost and developed into a white-robed ghost with thirty years of cultivation.

Each one is more impressive than the last.

I wonder how many years of cultivation Granny Li has cultivated as a white-robed ghost... and that old man Li, the zombie. "It seems that Granny Li is truly extraordinary. Even if I enter the inner sect and master the Bloodfire Seal, I cannot underestimate her. I must learn the village's exorcism skills as soon as possible to protect myself."

"Furthermore, tonight Yuanzhu deliberately used the village rules to target me. Even if I follow Li Yuanlong from now on, I'm afraid I'll continue to be targeted..."

Thinking about this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

Chen Mo didn't want to waste too much time on these people's scheming; he just wanted to steadily learn the skills of exorcising evil spirits.

Suddenly... the square transformed into an extremely powerful evil aura, which flowed into Chen Mo's body and merged into the cursed blood in his abdomen.

The situation was exactly the same as when I had just absorbed the ghost energy of a hundred ghosts.

Moreover, the density of this wisp of evil energy is close to the sum of all the previous hundred ghosts...

hum!
Chen Mo was terrified, feeling a bone-chilling cold sweep over him, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The next moment, Chen Mo felt something wriggling in his abdomen...

It's the blood of the demon curse!

It got excited.

Fortunately, Chen Mo had previous experience, so he did not choose to reject or resist, thus avoiding physical pain.

After a while, the blood of the cursed ghost stopped writhing and gradually settled down.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: This Ghost Curse Blood is getting more and more strange. When he returned to the village at dawn, he would find a secluded place to properly modify the Ghost Curse Blood.

"Young Master Mo, are you alright?" Li Qingniu noticed that Chen Mo's condition was not right and asked with concern.

Chen Mo regained his senses. "I'm fine. Go find some firewood and start a few fires here. That will dispel the remaining ghostly energy here."

Li Qingniu nodded in agreement and quickly started a fire.

By this time, the water in the pool had been drained. Li Qingniu pointed to the bottom of the pool and exclaimed, "Young Master Mo, look, there are hundreds of skeletons lying inside!"

Chen Mo was also shocked upon seeing this, and said, "These are all innocent villagers who were killed by Li Binghui. This wicked woman is truly vicious. Tomorrow when we return to the village, we'll find someone to sort the remains and have the relatives in town identify them..."

Chen Mo fell silent halfway through his sentence.

In this world, without DNA testing, it's unlikely that the identity of the deceased can be determined solely by skeletal remains.

It's pitiful that when people die, their souls cannot return to their ancestral graves or ancestral halls.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo asked Erhu beside him, "Erhu, do you recognize your own bones?"

“I recognize him.” Erhu rushed to the bottom of the water and pointed to the skeleton of a child. “This is mine… It’s a pity that I have no flesh and skin. Even my mother wouldn’t recognize me.”

After saying this, Erhu's eyes filled with tears, and he was very sad.

Chen Mo took off his cotton-padded coat, wrapped the skeleton up, and then left the pool. He said to Li Qingniu, "Qingniu, there are no evil spirits here anymore. You stay here and wait for dawn. I'll take Erhu back to see his mother."

Li Qingniu then realized, "It's the child of that woman in town who calls back the soul?"

Chen Mo said, "Yes, it was thanks to Erhu who helped me hold onto Li Binghui's leg that I had the chance to kill the ghost. Erhu is a weak wandering spirit and probably can't stand the sunlight. He won't be able to go back when it gets light."

Li Qingniu interrupted, saying, "Young Master Mo is truly righteous and admirable. I'll stay here. Young Master Mo, you should take Erhu home to see his mother soon."

Chen Mo bid farewell to Li Qingniu, carrying the skeleton, and left the dense forest with Erhu.

Besides sending Erhu home, Chen Mo had another plan: to go find Yuanzhu nearby.

If you find him, just chop him up. Blame the ghost's hand.

The ghosts of the Hundred Corpse Pool have already killed Zhou Min, so killing another pillar... is quite reasonable.

Unfortunately, Chen Mo searched for quite a while but couldn't find the cylinder.

"You're lucky you ran fast. Next time I get the chance, I'll definitely send you on your way."

"Looking back at Li Yuanlong's attitude, if Li Yuanlong doesn't kill Yuanzhu, I can't follow him. I'll have to find another leader to learn from to be on the safe side."

Having made up his mind, Chen Mo stopped hesitating and led Erhu toward Wuqiao Town.

It wasn't until early in the morning that they arrived at Wuqiao Town.

The dark clouds in the sky have now dispersed, revealing a bright, clear moon.

When they arrived near the woman's house, they could see her kneeling at the doorway, burning paper money and lighting red candles, calling out Erhu's name in a hoarse voice.

Chen Mo moved closer, placed the cotton-padded jacket in front of the woman, and opened it to reveal the skeleton inside.

"These are the remains of Erhu."

The woman reached out her trembling hand and stroked the skeleton, tears streaming down her face, "Erhu!"

Erhu had already reached the woman, his eyes brimming with tears as he called out, "Mother, I'm back. I'm so sorry, Mother. It's all my fault for being disobedient and causing you pain. Mother, why can't you hear me?"

Seeing that his mother remained unmoved, Erhu became very anxious.

Chen Mo couldn't help but say, "Erhu is back. He's right next to you, talking to you."

The woman suddenly looked up, glanced around but didn't see Erhu, then looked up at Chen Mo, "Young master... what did Erhu say to me?"

Chen Mo said, "Erhu said... Mother, I'm back. I'm sorry, Mother. It's all my fault for being disobedient and making you sad. Mother, why can't you hear me?"

The woman finally broke down and wailed, "Erhu... I'm so sorry, so very sorry..."

Chen Mo couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he turned to leave.

Just then, a sinister female voice came from behind: "Erhu cannot stay in the human world for too long, otherwise his spirit will dissipate and he will not be able to reincarnate."
