Chapter 250: Exorcist

Chapter 250: Exorcist
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Xiao Jie and An Ran arrived at Chen Tianwen's home on time.

Chen Tianwen had already set up the formation in the living room, and all kinds of talismans and flags were placed all over the room.

There is a sofa in the middle of the magic circle, surrounded by a bunch of talismans, which looks like the formation in Hong Kong zombie movies where a thousand-year-old zombie is sealed away.

"I say, aren't you mobilizing too many troops?" Xiao Jie felt a little uneasy when he saw this situation.

(Is this all prepared for me?)

"Nonsense, if you really go crazy, of course you have to be prepared. Just sleep in the magic circle, so that you don't have to be led into the circle when the time comes. Come on, lie down."

Xiao Jie thought, let’s do it.

"An Ran?" he called out.

An Ran on the side clenched her fists and said, "Don't worry, I'm ready to wake you up physically at any time."

Xiao Jie sighed, lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to sleep. He calmed down and soon fell asleep...

There was darkness before my eyes. I didn’t know how long it had passed before bizarre scenes began to appear in my dreams.

Having had the experience last time, Xiao Jie was not controlled by the emotions in the dream. He watched the scenes that kept appearing coldly.

First there were some scenes before Chi Meijian's death, and soon they turned into Dong Lingzi's memories before his death.

Xiao Jie is very clear about these memories. After all, he was involved in the incident. It is interesting to recall them from another perspective.

Especially from Dong Lingzi's perspective, the scene of fighting with 'Yin Yue Sui Feng', I have to say, his skills are really cool.

Especially the last move where the Azure Dragon is released from mid-air to form the ultimate ultimate move, the aura of slaying the demons from a high position is truly shocking.

But from Dong Lingzi's perspective, watching 'himself' being killed was a bit creepy.

"Be careful, it's not dead!"

"Quick, kill it!"

Xiao Jie looked at the ferocious humans who were brandishing swords and attacking in groups in front of him, and watched Dong Lingzi struggling to escape in an empty direction.

However, he did not expect that an invisible force suddenly bound him tightly and he could not break free.

Xiao Jie could feel the shock and anger in Dong Lingzi's heart, and his perspective also turned accordingly, looking towards a cold and beautiful woman in black not far away, who was making hand gestures and casting a spell with all her might.

He could feel the anger and despair in Dong Lingzi's heart, and the next second -

Thunderfall technique!
Boom! A flash of lightning completely obscured its vision.

Xiao Jie suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He still seemed to have a tingling sensation from being struck by lightning, and the frightening feeling made him lose consciousness for a moment.

"Hey, awake?"

When Xiao Jie looked up, he saw An Ran's familiar face in front of him. Not far away, Chen Tianwen was holding a book in his hand and looking over at him.

"How is it? Is there any effect, Xiao Jie? Do you want me to give you another physical awakening?" An Ran pretended to wave his fist.

Xiao Jie thought of the bear paw that night and said hurriedly, "I'm fine. I'm very sober now."

"It seems that with the last experience, you have become immune." Chen Tianwen concluded.

"I guess so. I felt that I was very clear-headed when I dreamed this time. It was completely from the perspective of an observer, but I could still sense the psychological changes of the two monsters before they died..."

As Xiao Jie spoke, he sat up from the sofa.

I looked out the window and it was already getting light.

He had two nightmares that night, one was about Chi Meijian and the other was about Dong Lingzi. Both were scenes of them being beaten and killed by players, which made him mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, I was not affected by the remaining spirit of the monster this time.

"You'd better go wash it first, it's soaked."

Xiao Jie touched his clothes and found that he was sweaty all over.

This made him a little dazed. Ever since he reached the second level of Qi Refining, he almost stopped sweating. Looking at the sweat on his body at this moment, he seemed to have regained some of his human feeling.

Coming to the bathroom, Xiao Jie stood under the shower, feeling the hot water flowing through his body.

I have to say that this immunity to cold and heat also has a bad side, which is that you can't feel the heat at all.

While washing, Xiao Jie suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why was his back a little hard? Hey, what is this? Damn, scales!
Xiao Jie was frightened and looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. Just below his ribs and on his back, he could faintly see something like scales, which appeared silvery white.

I touched it with my hand and it felt hard and smooth.

Xiao Jie felt uneasy. He had a feeling that this thing must be related to the influence of the monster's inner elixir.

The white snake scales, could it be the influence of the white snake's inner elixir?

I quickly checked other parts of my body.

Fortunately, other parts of his body didn't seem to have changed much, except that his body hair seemed to have become more abundant. He touched his chest. He used to be white, but now he had grown a lot of chest hair. Although it was not too thick, it was clearly visible.

He touched his chin and found that his beard seemed to have grown thicker and harder.

The muscles on his body became more muscular. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he looked vaguely wild like a wild beast.

Xiao Jie suddenly remembered that there seemed to be some changes in his body last time, but they disappeared after he woke up. He thought it was an illusion at the time, but now it seems that is not the case.

He dried himself hastily and went out.

In the living room, Chen Tianwen and Ye Luo were preparing breakfast.

"Do you see any changes in me?"

The two men looked him up and down.

"It's a bit thicker."

"Looks like he's growing a beard?"

Xiao Jie told them about his transformation, and they were both amazed, especially An Ran, who forced Xiao Jie to take off his clothes to show her.

"Oh my god, you have well-trained eight-pack abs." An Ran went up and touched it, leaving Xiao Jie speechless. I didn't let you see this.

"What are you practicing? It's all about adding some points. I'm talking about the back——"

Since adding points, Xiao Jie's muscles have become very obvious. As long as the basic attributes are slightly increased, he can basically have a muscular body.

"No, you are adding points to agility, right? People who add points to agility usually have a lean and sturdy body type. There is definitely something wrong with your current body type - Hey, it turns out to be snake scales!"

Anran stroked the scales on Xiao Jie's back, which felt itchy.

"Do you know what's going on?" Xiao Jie couldn't help but ask.

"Where do I know where to go?"

"Aren't you a sorcerer?"

"A sorcerer is a person who temporarily transforms into a monster. You are not a monster now. You are a mutation. You are completely different from us."

When a sorcerer learns from a monster, the process of transforming the monster into a human form is actually reversed.

It is said that the earliest sorcerers were those who made friends with monsters and helped them change into human form. In the process of constantly studying the way of transformation, they learned the ability to transform from humans into monsters.

This process is complete, so it is either a human form, a monster form, or a monster beast form. People like Xiao Jie have a little bit of monster characteristics in their body, but they are still human as a whole. An Ran has never seen this before.

Now Xiao Jie was a little depressed.

An Ran said, "I think you'd better ask a professional, preferably someone who knows more about Qi Refining."

Xiao Jie's heart moved, and he suddenly smiled, "I think I know who can answer this question for me." Dong Lingzi! Since this old guy is a wolf demon who has lived for thousands of years and knows something about Qi Refiners, he might know something.

After breakfast, Xiao Jie thanked the two of them and went home.

After returning home, Xiao Jie did not rush to go online. The evil spirit could be triggered at any time, so it was better not to take the risk.

In real life, we have Chen Tianwen to protect us, and we also need helpers to be safe in the game.

I logged into QQ and contacted Qianlong Wuyong.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Qian Long, have you contacted the person?
Qianlongwuyong: I have contacted you, a level 38 exorcist. It is very easy to exorcise the remaining soul of a monster. Where are you now?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I’m offline at the Luoyang Town Martial Arts Hall. You can come find me here. When you arrive, tell me and I’ll come online.

Only a dozen minutes later, Qianlong Wuyong notified Xiao Jie that he was online.

Xiao Jie logged into the game carefully, and as soon as he came online, he saw several people standing outside the practice room.

Qianlong Wuyong, Bai Ze, Deidara, Ye Luo, I Want to Become an Immortal... and a female Taoist priest.

Jiuxiao Huanpei (Exorcist): Level 38. HP: 720.

He wears a purple gold lotus crown, a Taiyi Qingyun robe, and holds a golden sword, giving off a somewhat immortal look.

Level 38... Oh my god, he is indeed a master.

"Is he the one who wants to exorcise the demon? If it's okay, I'll do it."

"Wait a moment, I'll... Ouch!"

The shadow of a wolf's head suddenly appeared above Xiao Jie's head, and his character let out a shrill wolf howl. The next second, Xiao Jie pounced towards the people on the opposite side.

Xiao Jie hurriedly reminded loudly.

"Be careful, I'm going crazy."

I was thinking "Fuck!" in my heart, Dong Lingzi must have done this on purpose.

Jiuxiao Huanpei was not panicked. He raised his hand and cast a golden talisman.

Certainly!
A golden light flashed, and a talisman directly fixed Xiao Jie in place, while his body continued to move forward with the sword.

Oh my god, what kind of magic is this, so powerful? Xiao Jie thought to himself that he is indeed a master, completely different from Bai Ze and Didara's two idiots.

If it were those two guys, they would probably be so scared that they would turn around and run away.

Bai Ze Deidara next to him was full of envy. Such advanced magic was indeed mysterious.

The Jiuxiao Huanpei continued to cast spells.

"The Taoist magic of the Xuanmen sect can eliminate demons and monsters. The gods and ghosts will retreat and the evil spirits will be destroyed! - Hurry up and obey the command!"

Swish, a dazzling white light suddenly fell on Xiao Jie.

[System prompt: Your demonic spirit has been dispelled.]

Looking above my head again, there is no DEBUFF.

Oh my god, is it that simple?
Oh no, I haven't asked Dong Lingzi yet...

Xiao Jie was speechless for a moment, but he knew that he couldn't blame the other party for this, after all, the situation was urgent...

Besides, it is unlikely that Dong Lingzi would be willing to help him answer the question. Unlike the former Wei Lishan Jun, this Dong Lingzi died at his hands.

Of course, he didn't dare to blame the other party.

"What's wrong?" Qianlong Wuyong asked in surprise.

"Nothing, thank you sister for helping me exorcise the evil spirit."

"You're welcome. I have also accepted the mission." The Jiuxiao Huanpei responded calmly.

"Thank you, Brother Qianlong, for helping me contact the expert."

"Why are you being polite? You were possessed by an evil spirit while your team was killing a boss. Of course, our guild has to help you exorcise the evil spirit."

Xiao Jie knew that the other party had misunderstood, but he did not explain.

"Oh, sister, I have some questions about refining... monsters, and I want to find someone to consult. But there are no forums or guides for this game. Can sister give me some advice?"

Jiuxiao Huanpei was very polite. "Of course, I suggest you go to the storage room of each state capital to look for it. A lot of information about this game will be recorded officially. If your reputation is high enough, you can go and check it out."

This is an option, maybe there will be some gains.

"Ah, thank you for your advice, sister."

"You're welcome. Okay, if everything is alright, I'll leave."

After saying this, he floated away.

"Is this person from our guild? A level 38 exorcist, a master!" Bai Ze on the side asked excitedly.

"No, but he is from a brother unit, so we can ask him for help."

"Brother unit?" Bai Ze was a little curious.

Qianlong Wuyong smiled and said, "If you really want to know, just formally join our guild."

"Okay, I'm just asking casually. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Bai Ze, like Xiao Jie, doesn't like being restrained.

At present, he is just a guest official, and the constraints he receives are even smaller than those received by Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie also said goodbye to Qianlong Wuyong, and then rode straight to Xiaofeng City.

This problem of demonization is of great importance. Not only does it pose hidden dangers in the game, it has also had an impact on reality, and we must get to the bottom of it.

He doesn't want to become a monster or something in the future.

They rushed all the way to Howling Wind City and headed straight for the storage room.

The so-called storage room is a bit like an archive or a library.

However, unlike modern libraries that are open to the public, the background world of this game is similar to the ancient worldview after all, with clear distinctions between superiors and subordinates. Only official personnel or people who have made great contributions to the state can enter.

Fortunately, his reputation had reached a level of respect, so after he spoke to the guard at the gate, he was let in.

The interior of the storage room is quite large, with rows of bookshelves filled with bamboo slips, books, and ancient scrolls.

Due to the age of the silo, the earliest records were even made of stone slabs and carvings of gold and stone, and later records began to be made of bamboo slips and silk books.

Only the last one or two thousand years have been recorded in paper books and scrolls.

Qi Refiner... Qi Refiner... Qi Refiner...

Xiao Jie kept clicking the mouse on the bookshelf to check, but there were too many books and he had to open them one by one to read the contents. The amount of text was simply exaggerated.

Looking at the vast collection of books, Xiao Jie was a little dumbfounded.

Where the hell can I find this?

But as for the storage room, there should be someone like a librarian here, right?

After walking around the storage room for a few rounds, I found an old man behind a desk in a corner.

He was wearing a blue cloth robe, a scarf on his head, had white hair and beard, and a deep gaze. He was holding a book in his hand, and there was a pot of tea on the desk. He was reading and sipping tea leisurely.

Yuan Tianke (Chief of the Storage Room): Level 32. HP: 800.

Xiao Jie's eyes lit up, it was him!
