I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 874 - 326: The Gifted Director Xu! Farewell, Paper Flying Girl!_2
Apart from his physical strength becoming more exaggerated, he also gained a deeper understanding of the yin-yang and the five elements.
After all, Dragon Qi is the original force that maintains the stability of mountains and rivers, from which attributes like fire, earth, metal, and water are derived, sharing the same origin and inseparable.
Chen Mo casually pointed, and the mirror dissolved, transforming into a drizzling rain.
Moments later, green buds sprouted from the gaps in the floor, brimming with vitality.
This is not a means of creating something from nothing; it’s merely a simple application of the five elements.
"There’s already Vitality Essence within my body, and both earth and wood attributes can act upon it. This way, I can bear the Heavenly Primordial Spirit Fruit earlier, to extend Ling Yishan’s life..."
Chen Mo still remembered the promise he made to Ling Ningzhi.
Ling Yishan’s lifespan was already running low, and now, after being injured by Monk Huineng, his condition is feared to be worse.
Who knows how much longer that old man can hold on; it’s best to quickly gather the materials for the Creation Golden Pill—he doesn’t want to see the young Daoist Nun crying.
After pondering for a while, he opened the system panel.
In the section of Divine Skills, there were four new small characters: [Nine Heavens Thunder Rune].
This is a Divine Skill comprehended from the "Ancient Spirit Edict" and requires the use of Dragon Qi to activate.
His body hasn’t been completely transformed yet, making it difficult to unleash its full power.
To prevent leaking his aura and being detected by others, Chen Mo didn’t hurry to test it.
"Last time during the interrogation of Chu Heng, I maxed out ’Floating Life Dream,’ consuming too many Dao Essence Crystals."
"To break through the first level of the ’Ancient Spirit Edict,’ at least four more crystals are needed. Since they can’t be acquired immediately, I better take it slow."
"It’s getting late, and soon the curfew will be imposed."
Chen Mo took out a set of new clothes from the Heavenly Profound Ring and changed into them.
Then he came to the desk, and with a thought, the ink in the inkstone floated into the air, forming numerous characters that directly printed onto the rice paper.
In just a few breaths, the content of five Chapters was completely written.
"This efficiency is almost like a human printer!"
"Even if I don’t sell underwear, setting up a bookstore to mass-produce adult magazines would still bring in a fortune!"
Chen Mo rubbed his chin, considering whether to give the people of Great Yuan some modern cultural shock, after all, the Azure Darkness Seal and the Array Plate are big spenders, and silver is always welcome.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt like he was forgetting something.
"Oh right, where’s that dumb cat?"
Chen Mo turned his head and saw the black cat sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed.
It seemed to become much more lethargic than before since he last saw it.
He walked over to pick up the dumb cat, his figure flashing and disappearing.
About an hour later, Xu Qingyi’s eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her hazy eyes.
"Mr. Chen?"
She supported herself on the bed and sat up, finding no one around; it seemed Chen Mo had already left.
By now, the night was deep, the room dimly lit, silent and still, inexplicably making her feel somewhat lonely and alone.
Originally, she intended to help Chen Mo dissipate his fire, but after toiling for an entire day, she couldn’t accomplish it despite using all her means, instead exhausting herself until she was drenched in sweat and collapsed, unknowingly falling asleep.
"I’m really useless..."
Xu Qingyi sighed faintly.
After composing herself, she put on her outerwear and came to the desk.
Taking up the candlestick, she pinched the wick with her fingers, igniting the candle flame, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Upon seeing the scene in front of her, she was stunned.
"Hmm?"
"What is this..."
A stack of rice paper lay on the wooden desk, the handwriting neat and flowing, it was the latter five Chapters of ’Silver Bottle Plum.’
But this wasn’t the main point.
Xu Qingyi’s gaze fell on the inkstone beside it.
At the heart of the inkstone stood an exquisite human-shaped sculpture, pitch-black as if formed by gathering ink, grinding the red ink skillfully, appearing with the grace and virtue of a virtuous wife.
Every strand of hair was vividly detailed, the facial features lifelike—it was a miniature version of herself!
Disbelieving, Xu Qingyi tentatively reached out to touch it, feeling its warm and smooth texture, it had completely solidified into an ink jade state!
Below the ink pool, a line of small characters was carved:
[Pure as unhewn jade of the primordial state, Graceful as orchids unstained by dust. A glance cuts the cold stream like a moon of tranquility, Sleeves roll up the clouds over the mountains.]
The first characters of the first two lines form "Qingyi."
There was an acrostic poem, and the sculpture was made of the ink she personally ground, the sentiment behind it was self-evident.
Xu Qingyi’s cheeks flushed, holding the ink sculpture to her chest, her heart pounding furiously, the dim candlelight reflected in her eyes, as if stirring a serene moon in a cold pool.
"You rogue..."
"After bullying people, you still make them cry, you’re truly detestable..."
...
...
Melody Avenue, as the evening lights first lit.
The Imperial Music Bureau, located in the east of the city, wasn’t affected by the explosion, but due to the recent city curfew, the flow of people had dwindled, and the pavilions were less lively.
After all, the incident was too heinous, causing heavy casualties among the city’s residents, inevitably leading to some fear among the populace.
The court has yet to issue an official notice, but various rumors have already spread widely.
The Cloudwater Hall.
In the usually packed tavern, there were only two or three tables of guests tonight, drinking and chatting leisurely.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, Landlord Wang from the west of the city tried to flee the Capital City overnight with his family, but after leaving just two blocks, he was detained by Six Gates as a suspect, brutally tortured, nearly having his old bones broken apart!" said a man dressed as a scholar.
