How to resurrect Wudao was the biggest issue, but Xiao Buli had no idea where the resurrection could take place. The crazy old Taoist had never explained clearly before diving into the Soul Absorption Pearl, beyond reach for contact, as though he had completely disappeared.
Fortunately, his master should know, so Xiao Buli decided to go to Mystic Hollow Palace to find out the exact details.
As the trio headed in the direction of Mystic Hollow Palace, they struck up a casual conversation which eventually turned to the way He Suoju spoke.
As a down-to-earth guy, Du Yibo directly asked, "Speaking of which, why do you always talk like soone from the Martial World? Doesn't it feel awkward?"
Embarrassed, He Suoju chuckled, "Actually, there's a reason for it. I started doing this because of a friend's suggestion."
Xiao Buli was curious, "How so?"
He Suoju then explained, "My friend is also a gar I t in the ga, a solo player who advanced as an Arcanist, quite the tall, rich, and handso compared to . We tead up for a while and got to know each other well."
"During a casual chat, we naturally discussed how to apply abilities from the ga in real life, a topic you've probably explored as well. I've tried using swordsmanship from the ga in reality, often failing to perform it or finding it completely impractical in combat. He then shared a trick with ."
"He told he initially couldn't utilize his gaming abilities in real life either, but then he figured out a thod. He started imposing the standards of a mage on himself in reality, doing everything in the style of a mage, such as ditating instead of sleeping at night, being ticulous about eating, and even designing his own set of mage etiquette. Surprisingly, it worked.
The more he imrsed himself in the identity of a mage, the easier and more natural it beca for him to cast spells. Eventually, he completely embodied a mage, performing spells in the ga effortlessly."
"He then suggested that I try the sa. His approach seed logical, so I followed suit, and it did have so effects. However, I'm not that good at imrsing myself, and sotis I still forget my identity as a Swordsman."
Xiao Buli was astonished by the idea of projecting a ga profession into reality, which seed to be a form of self-hypnosis with more specificity, and of course, likely more challenging. But if it was successful, it surely would be more effective than temporary self-hypnosis. Should he also give it a try?
However, the Cursed Swordsman profession didn't seem to have a real-world counterpart, Xiao Buli pondered whether he should hold himself to the standards of a Swordsman or a cultivator. Either way, it was probably going to be quite bizarre.
He imagined speaking to people in the real world in the manner of soone from the mortal world and couldn't help but shiver at the thought.
When he snapped out of those thoughts, the three had already reached the Misty Forest, not far from Mystic Hollow Palace.
He didn't dare reveal the location of Mystic Hollow Palace casually, so he said to the two, "Wait here for ; I need to consult my master."
After he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. Du Yibo and He Suoju watched the place where the lightning vanished, both feeling a touch of envy.
Xiao Buli descended to an deserted clearing above Mystic Hollow Palace.
He did not imdiately seek out Xuanxu Zi, but first went to check on Gao Baina, who had been conscripted by Qingfeng Mingyue, now busily helping with further processing of so equipnt.
"Ah, you're finally back. I've got sothing to tell you; your follower really has so skills. How about lending him to temporarily?" Qingfeng Mingyue rarely asked for Xiao Buli's help.
Xiao Buli looked uncomfortable and typed, "That's not very convenient."
With a slight smile, Qingfeng Mingyue said, "Hehe, you think I don't know what you're thinking? Don't worry, it'll be worth your while."
System prompt: You've triggered the quest 'Qingfeng Mingyue's Free Labor.' Accept/Decline?
Qingfeng Mingyue's Free Labor: Temporarily lend your follower Gao Baina to Qingfeng Mingyue for one month of labor. Reward for completing the quest: 500 Contribution Value.
Alright, Xiao Buli thought, with Contribution Value on the table, it was easy to agree. He clicked accept, then chose to hand over the quest, completing it imdiately.
System prompt: You have completed the quest 'Qingfeng Mingyue's Free Labor,' earning 500 Contribution Values, raising your Prestige in Mystic Hollow Palace by 500 points, increasing Qingfeng Mingyue's favorability towards you by 100 points, and achieving a Friendly personal Prestige with Qingfeng Mingyue.
Earning 500 Contribution Value and lending Gao Baina to Qingfeng Mingyue seed like a good deal to Xiao Buli, not to ntion the increase in Prestige and Qingfeng Mingyue's favorability.
The spike in Qingfeng Mingyue's favorability was a one-ti boost. Xiao Buli wondered what benefits reaching Friendly status would bring. Could it make buying things cheaper?
But after clicking, he found that the price hadn't dropped at all, it was still the original price. Xiao Buli couldn't help but feel speechless, as this thing seed to be of no use at all.
However, Qingfeng Mingyue's attitude towards him had obviously improved a great deal. After saying goodbye to Qingfeng Mingyue, Xiao Buli made his way to the main hall of Mystic Hollow Palace.
"You want to know how to resurrect?" Xuanxu Zi looked at Xiao Buli, seemingly puzzled, and asked.
"That's right, Master. The disciple has learned Spirit Reincarnation, and I've recently earned so rit Points, so I wanted to ask about it. In case sothing happens while I'm outside, it's good to have a backup plan," he replied.
Xuanxu Zi nodded, "Hmm, it's good to be prepared for a rainy day. It's indeed rare for you to think of this. Very well, I will tell you. In fact, resurrecting is quite simple. You just need to find a Nuwa Temple and talk to the temple priest there. As for the specific process, I can't explain it clearly.
You'll have to experience it for yourself. However, finding the priest won't be easy. You'll need to learn Omniscient Eye first."
Xiao Buli vaguely rembered the term Omniscient Eye, an Arcanist skill, which was a third-level supportive spell that allowed one to see spiritual bodies and invisible creatures for a short ti. Learning this spell cost 230 Contribution Value, and it was good that Qingfeng Mingyue had previously given him 500 points; otherwise, he really wouldn't have managed to learn it.
After paying the 230 Contribution Value, Xiao Buli successfully learned Omniscient Eye.
Omniscient Eye: Infuse spiritual power into your eyes, allowing you to see things normally invisible for a short duration of 30 seconds, consuming 12 True Yuan points. Learning requirents: Spirit 23, Taoist Heart LV3.
Aside from finding the temple priest, this spell would also make it easier to kill ghosts for experience in the future. After learning the spell, Xiao Buli typed, "Thank you for your teachings, Master. Your disciple takes his leave."
After leaving the main hall of Mystic Hollow Palace, Xiao Buli used Cloud Thunder Leap and flew out of Mystic Hollow Palace. After flying so distance and seeing two green dots appear below, he imdiately descended.
With a crackle, a flash of lightning streaked by, and Xiao Buli reappeared in front of the two n.
"Holy shit, that move was pretty cool. Where'd you learn that?" Du Yibo asked with envy.
Xiao Buli shook his head, "Exclusive skill. No other professions can learn it."
Du Yibo could only sigh.
Nuwa Temples could only be found near big cities, and Nine Dragons City had one. Xiao Buli looked at the map and felt puzzled. Why had he never heard about it? He had also never passed by it. It was, after all, a place that offered the ability to revive. How could it not be famous?
It wasn't easy to return to Nine Dragons City. Not to ntion the long distance, there were also significant dangers since the three of them were being pursued by the Aweso Empire. Xiao Buli discussed with the others and said, "Why don't you two go to Black Stone Village instead? You haven't taken any quests anyway, and there's no need to make such a trip.
As for how to revive, I will tell you about it later."
The two nodded, "Then it's settled." Having said that, the two set off, while Xiao Buli rushed back to Nine Dragons City on Cloud Thunder Leap. After a while, he reached the outskirts of Nine Dragons City.
He didn't dare to go directly there and found a secluded spot to fully restore his True Yuan, just in case he encountered enemies and needed enough True Yuan for a fight or escape. Then, he headed towards Nuwa Temple.
Nuwa Temple was not located inside the city but behind a deserted mountain outside the city. The temple was scarcely visited. Xiao Buli found the Nuwa Temple only then did he realize why he had never seen it before – it was in an incredibly remote place, hidden beneath a cliff behind a deserted mountain. If one wasn't searching intentionally, they would probably never find it.
The temple's location wasn't just remote; its appearance was also quite humble, just a solitary, dilapidated little temple that seed to have been uninhabited for a long ti. As he walked in, there was no one inside, just dust and spider webs everywhere, indicative of negligence. Only the Statue of Nuwa in the center of the hall still looked decent.
Could it be that the temple was already abandoned? Xiao Buli thought critically to himself, but since he had co all this way, he ought to at least give it a try.
While thinking, Xiao Buli activated Omniscient Eye, and suddenly, everything in front of him sparkled with golden light.
As soon as Omniscient Eye was activated, the Nuwa Temple transford completely. The small hall instantly turned into a majestic grand hall. Not only was it grand and magnificent, but it was also awe-inspiring. There were also two rows of serpent-bodied, human-headed guards holding spears on either side of the hall, all motionless as if they were statues, every one of them a high-level elite.
Xiao Buli was startled. It was the first ti he had seen such a sight.
But the 30 seconds of Omniscient Eye were ticking away, and he hurriedly walked up to the hall. Beside the Statue of Nuwa stood another serpent-bodied, human-headed figure, clearly a female. She was enchanting yet dignified, beautiful but also imposing, clad in gossar, holding a Five-Colored Spirit Stone, and her na was accompanied by the words 'temple priest'.
PS: I've recently rented an apartnt and moved today. Finally, I can be independent. Starting from tomorrow, I will burst out writing, and this ti I will not drag it out. (
