Chapter 42: The Flesh and Bone in Green Dress is about to Enter the Dreamland
Although Ning Wan’er had proactively brought medicine over for him to borrow, it had somewhat altered his opinion of this "little green tea."
But it wasn’t something he was particularly concerned about.
After returning to his room, Li Muyang sighed as he looked at the girl on the bed who was in a deep unconscious state, even whimpering in pain as if she was suffering.
"This is why I hate socializing…"
Had Li Yuechan not arrived, Li Muyang would still be comfortably playing his game instead of dealing with all these troublesome matters.
It had been several days since he last played his game, which made Li Muyang rather frustrated.
His progress in cultivation had also stalled, with the experience bar on the system interface stuck at "Li Muyang: Qi Condensation Stage Six Layers (39%)."
The main issue was that Li Muyang hadn’t eaten any high-quality rice for several days, and therefore hadn’t replenished his spiritual energy.
He walked over to the bedside, looked at the girl’s pained expression in her unconsciousness, and shook his head.
He then went to the cupboard and brought out a bowl filled with Spirit Rice.
Li Muyang then poured the high-quality Spirit Rice from the bowl into the alchemy cauldron, starting to operate it in an attempt to refine it.
High-quality Spirit Rice contains spiritual energy as well and can be used to refine Spiritual Liquid.
However, the efficiency was so low it was exasperating, almost to the point of being wasteful.
The best option would be to exchange the high-quality Spirit Rice for gold, and then use the gold to buy Spiritual Medicine.
Li Muyang had asked about the prices, and the silver coins that two pounds of high-quality Spirit Rice could be traded for were more than enough to pull out the remaining Demonic Qi inside Li Yuechan.
— High-quality Spirit Rice was truly valuable.
But now Yunxiao City was slightly chaotic, with Inner Sect Disciples and Direct Disciples flying about, and some mysterious person causing trouble within the city.
Li Yuechan’s unfortunate injury had been a wake-up call for Li Muyang, making him even less inclined to take risks than his already cautious self.
An Outer Sect Disciple suddenly taking out two pounds of high-quality Spirit Rice in the Demon Sect’s territory… it’s like plastering the words "I’m an easy target" on one’s face.
Li Muyang did not plan to take that risk.
After all, the Endless Spirit Rice Jar could produce two pounds of Spirit Rice each day, and by refining all of it, he could barely manage to get together half a bowl of Spiritual Liquid.
A few more days of refining, and he would surely be able to heal his "bargain" little sister.
It was this Endless Spirit Rice Jar that gave Li Muyang the greatest assurance, so he wasn’t very anxious.
As for whether Li Yuechan would suffer during these days...
Looking at his "bargain" little sister who was still unconscious on the bed, Li Muyang shook his head, powerless to do more.
We’re neither biological siblings nor siblings in any sense... after all, Li Muyang is just a soul from another world. Theoretically, he had no connection with Li Yuechan whatsoever.
What he had done so far was already out of Li Muyang’s humanitarian concern.
As for the discomfort the young girl would experience during the delayed treatment, she would have to blame Qin Haie for that.
Speaking of Qin Haie...
After refining all the Spirit Rice, Li Muyang was preparing to rest when he suddenly thought of Qin Haie and opened the system interface.
In the bottom left corner of his system interface, a small dynamic bubble was present.
[Evil Corpse: Flesh Bone Qingyi (Waiting to fall asleep)]
Clicking on the bubble, a cute chibi version of the Flesh Bone Qingyi was running around in the dark.
The Flesh Bone Qingyi, which looked very creepy in reality, surprisingly became somewhat cute in its chibi form.
This interface had appeared the night before, but Li Muyang was too busy and exhausted, so he had only taken a quick look before falling asleep.
Now that he had some free time, Li Muyang took another glance at his "bargain" little sister still sleeping on the bed, then immersed himself into the system interface.
Curiously observing the Flesh Bone Qingyi running around in the dark bubble, he hadn’t expected the system-provided item to show a status indication when cursing someone.
Other items given by the system, like the Endless Spirit Rice Jar and the three Taiyi Dividing Light Talismans, had no system indicators and seemed to disconnect from the system the moment they entered reality.
But this Flesh Bone Qingyi had its little bubble within the system interface – this item was a bit special.
The player’s intuition told Li Muyang that this Bone-Cloth Green Robe might be more formidable than he had imagined.
As he was still studying it, the chibi version of the Bone-Cloth Green Robe suddenly stopped moving and stood still.
At the same time, the text in the bubble changed.
[Evil Sha: Bone-Cloth Green Robe (about to enter the dream)]
As the bubble’s text changed, a system option emerged.
[Would you like to personally control the Bone-Cloth Green Robe?]
[Yes/No]
[(Choice Countdown 04:44)]
The sudden pop-up choice, along with the 4-minute 44-second countdown, made Li Muyang blink.
You can actually play it hands-on? It’s not on auto-attack?
He hadn’t noticed last night...
Watching the countdown decrease, Li Muyang pondered briefly and chose [Yes].
He was very curious about what this personal control meant... Was he going to control the Bone-Cloth Green Robe to kill in dreams?
Li Muyang’s eyes widened with curiosity.
And as he selected [Yes], darkness immediately engulfed him.
That feeling of entering a system instance happened again.
Only this time the darkness lasted much longer.
About half a minute passed, and the darkness receded like a receding tide around Li Muyang.
In the gloomy graveyard, pale spirit banners were hanging.
In the fluttering gloomy wind, Li Muyang stood high among the graves, looking forward.
The gravestones and tomb mounds in the cemetery were not even as tall as his knees, extremely low.
Or rather...
Li Muyang lowered his head and saw his bizarre and unnerving lower body and the colorful costume he was wearing.
Under the dim light, this vibrant green robe was inexplicably terrifying.
When he opened his mouth, he let out a sharp and strange "hiss" of cold laughter, not at all like that of a living creature.
And in the graves ahead, there was a face full of terror, trembling as it looked at Li Muyang.
"No... don’t..."
Qin Haie, the direct disciple of Elder Qi of the Refinement Demon Sect and a young genius who had entered the Core Formation Realm, was now trembling with fear.
Seeing Li Muyang, she wailed loudly as if seeing a death-claiming ghost.
"Don’t come over... my master is an elder of the Refinement Demon Sect..."
"You can’t harm me; my master won’t let you off!"
"Master! Save me! Save me!"
The woman’s piercing screams spread throughout the room.
Those guarding beside the bed all had gloomy expressions.
"It’s come just as she fell asleep... such a persistent evil spirit!"
The speaker was Elder Ge Hongshan of the Enforcement Hall, who was invited by Elder Qi to assist.
With a grave expression, he looked at the disciple on the bed who was asleep and crying for mercy, saying, "Elder Qi, don’t be alarmed. With the four of us here today, we shall make sure that evil spirit will fail miserably!"
Ge Hongshan was full of confidence.
The four people in this room were all elders of the Refinement Demon Sect, each commanding their own sector, with high authority and extraordinary cultivation.
With the four of them working together, common curse killing methods like witchery and gu poison could be easily broken!
