Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

Xiao Yun closed his eyes, but suddenly a ball of fire appeared before him.

A deep call came from the void, resounding directly within the soul.

A sudden realization dawned on Xiao Yun's mind:

"Someone is calling me..."

So he followed his heart, reached out, and slowly touched the flame.

Rumble!

A deafening roar erupted, and blazing flames rushed towards him, instantly engulfing him.

But Xiao Yun felt no discomfort at all; in fact, he felt warmth and comfort.

His consciousness seemed to rise to an infinitely high place in an instant, where the azure Eternal Terra could be seen looking down.

Then everything started to rise again, except for him, who was falling.

Soon, a familiar sense of security settled under my feet.

Xiao Yun slowly opened his eyes.

Amidst the wind and snow, the South Gate was right before our eyes.

But what caught the eye even earlier was Gu Shen's smiling face.

Gu Shen placed his right hand on his chest and bowed respectfully.

"Welcome, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yun smiled and nodded in response, then checked his current status.

The bad news is that this figure, made of ash, connected by blood, and forged with flames, has a humanoid shape, but in reality, it is completely outside the realm of humanity.

The good news is that all the system functions work!

Xiao Yun glanced at his personal panel and noticed that a few words had been added after his name.

【Xiao Yun】(Descent State -80%)

"80%, does that mean I can perform at 80% of my potential right now?"

Xiao Yun tried it out and found that, in terms of mana circulation efficiency and skill output efficiency, it was indeed about 80%.

However, without core equipment such as the Mithril Sword, Dragon Heart, Legendary Beginning Set, and Star Tear, the actual strength that can be exerted is at most half of its peak.

"It's roughly equivalent to the eighth sequence of a normal S-rank talent."

Xiao Yun nodded, he probably had it.

"You can take off all your equipment, put it in the system warehouse, and put it back on after you arrive. Your combat power will then be real."

However, this is not realistic, because the Descent state is not lasting, and if something goes wrong, the equipment is very likely to be lost and cannot be found.

"However, this state is very useful for dealing with unexpected situations that occur within the guild area."

80% of our strength is enough to handle the vast majority of situations.

"If we were to descend from a distance... our strength would definitely be greatly reduced."

"Especially when other members of the Tarot Society descend to other regions, their strength may drop directly to the level of ordinary people."

However, Xiao Yun had already made preparations for this.

"Come out, little dragon!"

Xiao Yun opened his follower space and pulled out the little fire dragon that was sleeping in.

Norton was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Xiao Yun burning in front of him, and involuntarily stuck out his tongue and licked it.

"Slurp... Hehe! (Master, you smell so good!)"

The little dragon's eyes gleamed, and it pounced on Xiao Yun, beginning to lick him wildly.

"Stop licking! I'll lick it all out in a minute!"

Xiao Yun used all his strength to hold it down and stuff it back into his follower space.

However, through this experiment, Xiao Yun also confirmed one thing—

Followers who have signed a contract will retain their original strength upon arrival!

"After consuming the flesh and blood of the Jade Pool Amethyst Scorpion, the Little Fire Dragon is about to advance to the seventh rank. In addition, with the [Follower Advancement Card] in my hand, it's like I have two seventh-rank helpers."

"Even if I were to become a mortal, I would be able to handle most situations with these."

Moreover, if you lose equipment outside, you have to look for it, but if you lose a follower... they'll come back on their own.

"Moreover, the addition of this flame perfectly matches the low-key image of the alchemy master that 'Death' has always cultivated, except with the addition of a trump card: raising a legendary creature."

Xiao Yun was not worried about this added setting.

"They'll fill in the blanks with the moon and the warriors themselves."

Over the next few hours, Xiao Yun chatted with Jiang Shangzhen and Gu Shen, sharing their feelings about the arrival and formulating a plan for the next experiment.

One hour later, the time for the arrival of the sun came to an end.

Xiao Yun returned to his original form and felt a sense of dreamlike reality.

"How is it?"

Ji Mingyu asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just a bit of a headache, similar to the aftereffects of overworking one's talent."

Xiao Yun rubbed his temples and said in the small group chat:

"continue!"

With the remaining half-day, Xiao Yun made two more descents.

One test was to examine the effects of the same material at different distances on the application system. Gu Shen held an initiation ceremony in the Tiger Legion area.

The effect is the same, except there will be a slight delay when summoning minions and taking items from the inventory.

The second test was to examine the impact of different ritual materials on the arrival at the same distance.

Gu Shen used the flesh and blood of the Jade Pool Amethyst Scorpion to perform the descent ritual, and the effect was remarkable.

Xiao Yun's strength was significantly enhanced upon his arrival, and the duration of his attack was longer.

This time, however, Xiao Yun's own energy couldn't hold up, so he had to end the test early.

It was already late at night when the group finished summarizing and analyzing the results of several tests.

The other three, exhausted, were about to go back to rest when Xiao Yun grabbed them.

"Wait, don't go, do me one more favor."

Before the two could refuse, Xiao Yun pulled them straight to the hot spring center.

There were also some members who had just returned from their exploration at the hot spring center, soaking in hot baths in small groups to relieve the fatigue of the whole day, and many of them even fell asleep in the hot spring.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Xiao Yun and his group took the internal passage and made their way to the private hot spring room deep inside.

Ji Mingyu yawned, glanced at Xiao Yun with displeasure, and said:

"Why did you have to drag the three of us over here? Do you expect us to give you a bath?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yun stuffed a bunch of amethyst crystals into his hands.

"This should be enough. Lao Ji, you're in charge of grinding these amethysts into powder. Remember to grind them finely."

As Xiao Yun spoke, he took out two more large buckets and handed them to Gu Shen:

"Old Gu, your job is simple. This bucket contains the blood of the Jade Pool Amethyst Scorpion, and the other bucket contains the Spirit Spring. You're responsible for mixing these two buckets together, and make sure to add plenty of blood."

Gu Shen stared at the massive barrel in front of him, which was almost as tall as a one-story building, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

He desperately wanted to refuse, but the mithril sword hung there behind his neck.

"Damn it!"

Gu Shen gave the middle finger, pinched his nose, and started working.

Finally, Xiao Yun turned to look at Jiang Shangzhen.

Jiang Shangzhen gave him a half-smile and said quietly:

"Do I have to work too?"

"right!"

Xiao Yun nodded, then took out a large pile of high-grade herbal materials and stuffed them into his hands:

"Teacher, could you please extract all the essence from it, preferably into a liquid state?"

After saying that, Xiao Yun took out the complete set of equipment and placed it in front of Jiang Shangzhen.

Jiang Shangzhen almost laughed in anger, and said irritably:

"Are you planning to use the blood of a King-level wild monster for a medicinal bath? Why don't you just throw these ingredients in directly?"

"It's different. Direct extraction and purification make it easier to absorb and less likely to waste the medicinal power."

Xiao Yun said with a serious expression, then added in a low voice:

"And the herbs are all bumpy and lumpy, which hurts my butt."

Jiang Shangzhen was speechless. He gave him a thumbs up, snatched the herbs, and started fiddling with them.

The three of them worked for more than half an hour, sweating profusely, and finally finished preparing the medicinal bath.

In the misty air, purple blood surged in the clear spring of spiritual energy, mixed with fine amethyst powder. Countless purifying materials from herbs and plants flowed within, and every now and then, a stream of brilliant golden light flashed across the pool, like a pool of dazzling starry sky painted with thick paint.

Although the main ingredient is blood, it has no trace of bloodiness. Instead, it exudes a rich fragrance. The top notes are as strong as musk, the middle notes are heavy with herbs and trees, and the base notes have a refreshing scent like a mountain forest after rain.

Ji Mingyu took a deep breath, his eyes lit up, and he smiled:

"That's good, it wasn't a complete waste of time."

The other two nodded and were about to soak together for a while when Xiao Yun stopped them.

"Ahem, thank you all for your help. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

The three of them stared wide-eyed and asked in unison:

"You little brat, you dragged us to work, and now that the medicinal bath is finished, you're kicking us out? Don't you have any conscience? I'm your brother/teacher!"

Xiao Yun, without blushing or skipping a beat, pointed to another slightly larger empty pond outside:

"Hehe, don't rush, there are still so many ingredients left, you can take them and soak them there."

The three frowned and asked in confusion:

"Isn't there some readily available right now? You can't use it all by yourself, so why not share it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a beautiful figure pushed open the door and entered.

Upon seeing Ji Mingyu and the other two, Su Muqing, who was only wearing a light shirt, blushed and quickly wrapped her shapely body in a bath towel.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were here. Xiao Yun called me... I'll leave now."

Su Muqing hurriedly turned around, but Xiao Yun grabbed her arm.

"Hey, hey, don't go, you didn't come to the wrong place."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Mingyu and the other two, and coughed a few times:

"Ahem, you three, you don't want to be third wheels, do you?"

The three men's lips twitched violently, and they all gave a thumbs-up, praising him through gritted teeth:

"Xiao Yun, you're ruthless!"

They are all people with principles and wouldn't take advantage of their own brothers or their students' girlfriends.

Therefore, even though he was unhappy about working for free, he still reluctantly went out, and even closed the door for the two of them and set up a shielding array.

The entire hot spring room fell silent instantly, with only the trembling breaths of a man and a woman remaining.

Su Muqing held a bath towel to her chest with both hands, bit her lip lightly, lowered her head, and glanced at Xiao Yun through her wet hair.

Xiao Yun was momentarily mesmerized, letting out heavy breathing, his body involuntarily reacting.

Xiao Yun's face flushed red, and he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Seeing his expression, Su Muqing burst out laughing and jokingly scolded him:

"Idiot, what are you still standing there for?"

As she spoke, her voice suddenly softened, and a blush appeared on her face:

"Didn't you tell me to come to the hot springs? They'll get cold if I wait any longer..."

Xiao Yun nodded frantically as if waking from a dream, and said:

"Ah yes, while it's hot, while it's hot."

As he spoke, he jumped into the hot spring first, turned around and reached out his hand to Su Muqing, revealing a very gentlemanly smile.

However, in Su Muqing's eyes, Xiao Yun had a silly grin on his face, full of eagerness, and almost drooled.

"Idiot, you can't even pretend properly. How can you look at a girl like that?"

Su Muqing thought to herself, shook her head helplessly, and reached out to take Xiao Yun's hand.

She took a light step. Her skin pushed aside the pool water, and the bath towel slipped off her body, revealing her already soaked and transparent undershirt.

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"

Seeing that beautiful, faintly visible outline, Xiao Yun's breathing became more rapid, and he couldn't help but lean closer.

Seeing his impatient look, Su Muqing rolled her eyes at him and then slowly moved closer.

Skin to skin, the warm pool water rippled over our bodies, as if flames were rising.

However, just as he was about to take the final step, Xiao Yun stopped moving.

Su Muqing looked bewildered, but when she saw the vortex gathering around him, she suddenly understood.

"Is he cultivating? At this time?!"

Su Muqing's pretty face turned icy cold. She snorted and kicked Xiao Yun.

With a splash, water rippled up from the pool.

Hearing the commotion, Ji Mingyu and the others outside exchanged strange glances and sighed softly:

"That was quite a commotion..."

Unbeknownst to us, Xiao Yun had already fallen asleep in the pool.

Su Muqing's face was unpleasant. She sat quietly soaking in the hot spring, occasionally cursing this useless thing.

Xiao Yun was also devastated.

"Holy crap! This [Blood Sacrifice Technique] is way too good! Why did it start operating on its own at a time like this?!"

Just now, at the critical moment, the enormous energy in the pool rushed into his body like a madman, forcibly dragging him into a state of cultivation.

It seems that the blood of the king-level monster and the ingredients in this hot spring were too potent, causing the [Blood Sacrifice Technique] to go into full power and not stop for a while.

"What a tragedy! What a tragedy! Such a great opportunity, just a tiny bit short, just a tiny bit short!"

Xiao Yun inwardly pounded his chest and wept bitterly, wishing he could throw this thing away.

But after trying for a long time and finding that he couldn't stop, he resigned himself to it and forcibly used the "Unity of Heaven and Man" to suppress the restlessness in his heart and digest the energy in his body.

A surge of new power emerged from the body of the Death Will, and on the panel, the three dimensions of Strength, Agility, and Constitution were increasing at a visible rate.

Before he knew it, Xiao Yun had gradually gotten used to it.

While maintaining its own operation, it refines blood to enhance attributes.

While contemplating the initiation ceremony.

"Based on today's test results, using the flesh and blood of a King-level monster as ritual materials should be sufficient to meet the requirements for long-distance descent."

"But we still need to put it into practice. The next tarot session is the night after tomorrow, so we'll see if there's an opportunity then."

"Fatty should have accumulated enough points today. I heard he went back early this morning to prepare for his advancement. He should be able to complete his advancement and job change tomorrow. Then we'll see what's so special about 'Purple Blood Overlord'."

"There's also the Relic of the Eternal Blood. It seems the Celestial Spirit will die this week, but with the Spirit's Soul Sanctuary and the Sanctuary of Rest, it's not a big problem. I'll go find it tomorrow."

"By the way, tomorrow is the week's settlement. I wonder how many points I'll get this week, and whether I'll be able to meet the requirements for advancing to the seventh sequence..."

The night passed quickly.

The next day, Xiao Yun opened his eyes and found that the pool water around him had become cold.

He absorbed all the energy from the materials, and the once vibrant pool water had turned into a muddy mess.

The beauty from before had long since left, leaving only a piece of paper behind.

"It stinks, I'm leaving now."

"Oh, by the way, Ah Ming gave me a photo stone this morning. The contents inside are really interesting. (*^_^*)*"

Upon seeing that ambiguous smile, Xiao Yunhu shuddered, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Holy crap! The recording stone! Didn't I already destroy it?! I'm doomed, I'm really screwed!"

Xiao Yun's face was ashen; he didn't even bother to look at the benefits of refining the King-level blood, and prepared to go and apologize.

"Susu is so kind, I shouldn't die, right?"

Xiao Yun felt uneasy and walked heavily toward Su Muqing's office.

They had only gone halfway when they were stopped by a city wall.

"Brother Yun, I've finally found you! I've been promoted! Come spar with me, you're no match for me now!"

Zhong Mo spoke with great excitement and animated gestures.

Xiao Yun frowned and said:

"Fatty? I don't have time to mess around with you today, let me pass."

Zhong Mo pouted his lower lip and waved a finger in front of Xiao Yun's eyes:

"No, no, no, I won't let you pass unless you fight me."

"By the way, if you can't beat me, Brother Yun, I'll give this record stone that captures the highlights to Sister Su."

Zhong Mo pulled out a recording stone, a wicked grin on his face, as if victory was assured.

Meanwhile, Ji Mingyu and the others, who were hiding nearby, gave a thumbs-up and nodded repeatedly.

"Well done, you didn't embarrass yourself!"

"Absolutely!"

Zhong Mo proudly raised his chin.

Just then, a loud sword cry rang out, causing the entire dormitory building to tremble.

A pair of crimson-gold eyes slowly rose, their violent flames flickering like a volcano about to erupt.

"You brat...you're incredibly arrogant!"
