Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

Seeing Ji Nanbei's wary look, Lin Mengxi waved her hand dismissively.

"There's no need to be so wary. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for you. Soon, the Demonic Path will hold a grand event with large-scale competitions and generous rewards. Go and gain some experience, and while you're at it, bring back some resources for your own use."

Ji Nanbei was somewhat surprised to hear this.

He had never heard of such news before.

I've been in the Happy Forest Demon Sect for quite some time now. Although I rarely see my master, I do meet my senior sister quite often. Why have I never heard her mention him?

Lin Mengxi seemed to be able to read his mind and said:

"I didn't tell you before because your cultivation level was still too low, and it wouldn't have been of much use even if you went. But now it seems that with your current rate of improvement, you might as well go and investigate."

Ji Nanbei then realized what was happening.

"Senior sister, when will this competition be held? Where will it take place? What is the approximate cultivation level of the opponents?"

Lin Mengxi answered calmly:

"One month from now. If you can reach the Foundation Establishment stage by then, I will personally take you there. Our opponent's cultivation level will be roughly around that level."

Ji Nanbei: ?

Senior sister, do you listen to yourself? Are you even speaking human language?

"Senior sister, one month to Foundation Establishment? Is it reasonable to put these two terms together?"

Lin Mengxi nodded seriously.

"That makes perfect sense. Your cultivation has progressed so rapidly; you've broken through five realms in just a few hours. At this rate, you should be at the Foundation Establishment stage by tomorrow. Junior brother, your senior sister has high hopes for you. Keep up the good work!"

What a load of rubbish!

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat this unconventional senior sister, Ji Nanbei would really like to take action right now and hang this senior sister who always loves to play pranks up and teach her a good lesson.

He broke through five realms in a row thanks to a lucky break. Moreover, how can the difficulty of breaking through the first few levels of the Qi Refining stage be compared with the difficulty of breaking through the later levels?

What's more, there's the real hurdle of Foundation Establishment standing in our way!

That little sword immortal spent a whole year establishing his foundation back then!

Lin Mengxi completely ignored Ji Nanbei's almost dead-fish-like gaze and patted his shoulder.

"Your senior sister has high hopes for you!"

After speaking, she vanished in a flash.

Ji Nanbei was left standing there, speechless for a long time.

After a moment of silence, Ji Nanbei simply stopped dwelling on the matter. Anyway, there was still a month left, and with the system's help, there might actually be enough time.

Even if it's too late... that senior sister wouldn't really push herself to the brink of death, would she?

Putting this matter aside for the moment, Ji Nanbei turned his attention to the system panel.

The interface clearly displays his current number of magic points: three thousand.

This was obtained from completing the previous task.

The uses of magic points are quite numerous right now.

The first priority is to directly exchange for talents.

Currently, the only talents available for exchange are the three from Xiao Jingxi.

The talent "Glassy Sword Heart" requires three million Magic Points to exchange.

The talent "Invincible among its peers" requires 100,000 Magic Points to redeem.

The talent "Leader of the Righteous Path" requires 200,000 Demonic Path Points to exchange.

(Note: To help the host grow rapidly, the exchange price for the talent of the first target to be possessed is reduced by 90%.)

This is the price tag for Xiao Jingxi's three talents, and that's after a 10% discount.

In other words, if it's not the first target of possession, the magic points needed to exchange for these talents would have to be increased by another zero.

That's an astonishing astronomical figure!

However, Ji Nanbei was mentally prepared for this. After all, each of these three talents was far more powerful than the norm.

In particular, the "Glassy Sword Heart" is the fundamental reason why Xiao Jingxi can remain at the top of his generation.

Fortunately, this first-time offer gave the redeemers a glimmer of hope in the short term.

Even so, more tasks need to be completed in order to accumulate enough points to exchange for talents.

Alternatively, you can exchange them by defeating powerful enemies and consuming rare and precious materials.

Besides exchanging for talents, magic points have other uses.

Currently, Ji Nanbei only has two possession locations, meaning he can only maintain a stable possession connection with two people. If the number of potential possession locations increases to three or more in the future, he will either have to delete the previously associated objects or spend magic points to unlock more possession locations.

Unlocking the third possession location requires 30,000 magic points.

In addition to designated targets and random possession, the method of possession can also be filtered based on conditions for random possession targets.

For example, the target should be a woman who is 18 years old, has a graceful figure, fair skin, and amazingly long legs!

This requires consuming magic points to perform a specific search.

Of course, the standard practice should be to limit the talent type, so as to acquire the desired talents more effectively.

Another function is that when Ji Nanbei is not in combat, he can consume magic points to repair his own injuries.

As long as they haven't completely stopped breathing, they can generally be saved.

This feature is clearly designed to ensure the survival of the host, Ji Nanbei.

These are the main uses of Demonic Path Points for now; other functions will be unlocked gradually as cultivation levels increase.

Browsing through the system panel and recognizing his current "penniless" state, Ji Nanbei sighed helplessly.

How hateful! Why am I not a wealthy person!

If only I could be as wealthy as Xiao Jingxi, I could probably exchange a few items for a few million or even a few thousand Demonic Path Points!

Just as Ji Nanbei was lamenting the injustice of the world, his stomach started growling loudly.

Although Ji Nanbei had previously devised a plan to get rid of that unreliable senior sister, it was an undeniable fact that he had been starving for more than ten days.

If he hadn't successfully drawn qi into his body, making his physique far superior to that of ordinary people, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Ji Nanbei rummaged through the sack and pulled out some dry food. He didn't care that it was cold and hard; he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although Ji Nanbei also prefers delicious food, he is already very lucky to be able to fill his stomach at this moment.

Thinking back to the time when I first arrived here...

Back then, let alone food, even survival was extremely difficult.

Therefore, Ji Nanbei still felt grateful to his master who had taken him back to the sect and then never showed up again.

Of course, it's best to eliminate this Happy Forest Demon Sect if possible.

If it weren't for the system, Ji Nanbei would most likely have already run away, waiting for the day he could make a name for himself and return to repay his master's kindness in taking him in.

Oh, right, and one more thing—we must give that senior sister who always loves to play pranks a good "retribution"!

After eating and drinking his fill, Ji Nanbei picked up the iron shovel and headed straight for the back mountain of the sect.

The Happy Forest Demon Sect is located in a remote, deep mountain area, a place where it is difficult to find any other human habitation for hundreds of miles around.

In this way, the so-called "back mountain" is actually a continuous stretch of barren mountains and wilderness.

For most of the time before, Ji Nanbei was either cultivating or hunting for prey in the back mountains to fill his stomach.

During that time, they also encountered a few slightly stronger beings who could be considered demonic beasts. Ji Nanbei, of course, made a quick getaway.

But now...

Ji Nanbei: Watch me smash your skull with this shovel!

Petty and vengeful.jpg

At the same time, he also wanted to verify whether the system's claim of "gaining magic points by defeating powerful enemies" also applied to hunting in these mountains and forests.

What? You're asking why this guy uses a shovel to hunt?

This is a long story, and the reason for it goes back to that book, "The Method of Raising Corpses"...

When Ji Nanbei first entered the sect, he was a dreamer who planned to try raising corpses, just in case he had a special talent for this.

So he took his shovel and went up the back of the mountain.

However, his youthful naiveté made him overlook a crucial point: there was hardly a soul to be found within a hundred miles, so where could he possibly find a ready-made corpse?

However, although the body was never found, Ji Nanbei honed a rather sharp shovel technique through the experience.

With his Qi Refining stage cultivation, he was practically a "tyrant" in this mountain forest near the sect!

Small creatures like wild rabbits almost all perished, becoming Ji Nanbei's prey, earning him the title of "Shovel Killer" that strikes fear into the hearts of small animals.

It was precisely because of this skill that Ji Nanbei was able to survive these days in the Happy Forest Demon Sect and not starve to death.

Later, all the small creatures nearby had become victims of Ji Nanbei's shovel, but if they ventured deeper into the dense forest behind the mountain, they might encounter truly dangerous monsters...

This led to Ji Nanbei's predicament of going hungry for more than ten days in a row.
