The boss of the second section is in a brothel, and deep underground is a tomb filled with ghost Cultivators, among which the ghost queen is the mini-boss of this chapter.
However, according to the timeline, it is only after Lin Fan kills several scattered Vicious Beasts in the small forest outside the city that the ghost queen will awaken. Currently, the ghost queen is in deep slumber, so she has been accompanying the protagonist on her adventures. Now that the sun has set, they have arrived at an abandoned temple in the outskirts.
Here, an unknown deity is worshipped. She gathered some firewood and used her spiritual energy to ignite a fire.
"This outfit has cold-resistant and warmth-retaining properties. With your cultivation level, you shouldn't feel cold. I don't see the point of building a fire."
"Life needs a sense of ritual. Always cultivating can lead to a mental breakdown. You need hobbies to sustain yourself. Living like an ordinary person is my hobby."
Wang Li is not really a Cultivator, and besides, she has been trapped in the Black Sha Realm for who knows how many years. Living this kind of life is a luxury for her.
She opened the System shop and discovered that it still contained some modern items. She glanced and found that most of the items in the System shop were not serious, and the modern items were things like tents and sleeping bags for 'activities' anytime, anywhere.
The protagonist currently has only two usable items: the Spirit Pill and the Fusion Pill. The Spirit Pill can quickly gather spiritual energy and accelerate cultivation, while the Fusion Pill can quickly fuse spiritual energy.
The protagonist now needs the Fusion Pill to fuse the seven-colored spiritual energy within her body. Besides the Fusion Pill, she also chose a sleeping bag to sleep in at night.
"Here, this will make you crave more."
Ji Shengyao was about to refuse, but then she thought that she was already under contract, and the other party could control her at will. Refusing now would be meaningless: "As expected of the Hehuan Demoness, carrying such pills with you. In your Sect, you must be the most diligent in Dual Cultivation!"
Holding it in her hand, she felt the vast spiritual energy rotating inside, and only then did she feel shocked: "This is a ninth-grade top-quality Fusion Pill? This quality of Fusion Pill is extremely rare even in the Holy Land and can be sold for a sky-high price! It is only suitable for use by those at the Body Integration Stage or higher. Giving it to me, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, is wasting nine-tenths of the pill's effectiveness!"
Wang Li was not surprised. After all, it was a product of the System shop, so it couldn't be a first-grade Low Grade item. She smiled indifferently: "As my Cauldron, I am very generous. Only when you blossom and bear fruit can I pluck you, the most beautiful flower."
"Damn it! If that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony." Ji Shengyao swallowed it in one gulp, afraid that Wang Li would change her mind. If her Master had given it to her, she would have refused a hundred times, but this was the Demoness's top-quality pill, so she wouldn't feel bad even if it was wasted!
After taking the pill, the seven-colored spiritual energy within her body began to rotate at an extremely high speed, changing from a rickshaw to a high-speed train. Fearing that she couldn't withstand it, Wang Li deliberately activated the spiritual energy stored within her body to protect her Meridians.
Ji Shengyao felt her spiritual energy seemingly out of control, rapidly fusing and transforming into her own spiritual energy. In just a few moments, she felt her spiritual sea visibly expanding, and her Divine Soul suddenly trembled.
She was overjoyed, and even her face showed uncontrollable joy: "I've reached the third layer of Foundation Establishment! I've never heard of anyone advancing a layer in a day. In the Holy Land, it must be extremely rare even among Prodigies with strong Luck and endless fortunate encounters!"
Cultivators care most about their cultivation level, and Ji Shengyao is no exception. She even wondered if she continued like this, by the time she was rescued and returned to her Sect, her cultivation level might even surpass her Master's.
"How will you repay me? I've heard that in your Holy Land, Disciples often sing and dance together. Your martial arts arena often becomes a stage for Disciples to dance. I wonder if you can dance for me?"
"What did you say? How can I please you, you jerk? Besides, the Disciples who dance in the Holy Land are all Utility Disciples. They do it to enhance the atmosphere during festivals. How can I, a Saintess of the Holy Land, learn such a thing?"
Only then did Wang Li remember that in this cultivation world, dance was often seen as a way to please others. Naturally, Cultivators with high status or cultivation level would not learn to dance.
Her lively eyes held anticipation: "Even if you haven't learned it, you must have seen it before. As a Prodigy of your Sect, even if you've only seen it a few times, you should be able to imitate it, right?"
Ji Shengyao glared at her fiercely: "I can, but why should I dance for you?"
"How about this... your token is still in my hands. I can make your Junior Sister dance for me. What do you think? Otherwise, I'll activate the contract on you."
After speaking, Wang Li took out an unknown Talisman from the System shop: "If you dance well, I'll give you an extra reward."
"You are quite mysterious, Demoness. This is a Soul Transformation rank Heavenly Thunder Talisman, equivalent to a Soul Transformation strike..." Ji Shengyao became more and more shocked. It seemed that the Demoness was not at the fifth layer of Golden Core but more like Nascent Soul, since she could easily break the golden lock sacred seal that could restrain Golden Core Cultivators.
However, she couldn't confirm it yet, as she didn't sense the pressure of a Nascent Soul on her. For now, she could only assume she was a Golden Core Cultivator.
The dilapidated window rattled in the wind and snow, and snowflakes flew into the room through the broken tiles and rotten window paper. Although the wind howled outside, the fire inside the room was exceptionally warm.
Ji Shengyao stared at the flames, her delicate face constantly changing expressions. Finally, she clenched her fists: "I can dance for you, but you must promise not to touch my Junior Sister."
"I can promise you that, but if she comes to provoke me, I won't be polite."
Wang Li suddenly felt that the protagonist seemed more obedient than last night... She placed the sleeping bag on the ground: "Take off your shoes and step on this to dance."
Ji Shengyao gritted her teeth, thinking that since she had agreed, she shouldn't quibble over the details: "Fine!"
Her fair and slender feet were exposed, stepping on the clean sleeping bag. She tried hard to recall the dance moves of the Utility Disciples during festivals.
She spun gently, her skirt fluttering. Although her movements were awkward, her graceful figure and beautiful face made up for it.
Her upright posture and flexible waist made even Wang Li sigh: "If this is your first dance, you truly have the makings of a natural dancer."
"I don't think you're complimenting me!"
Wang Li approached Ji Shengyao and, as she spun, grabbed her sash. As she turned, Wang Li gently pulled, and the sash unraveled, falling into Wang Li's hands.
Without the restraint of the sash, the white long skirt instantly became loose. Ji Shengyao's face turned red up to her ears, her mind boiling like wastewater.
Dancing was one thing, but what kind of dance was the Demoness making her perform!
Under the outer garment was a thin white skirt, vaguely revealing her fair legs and slender waist... Wang Li's eyes were mesmerized, staring intently at the faintly visible delicate body: "Dance! You don't think I'll let you dance fully clothed, do you!"
"I can't... I really can't..."
Ji Shengyao gritted her teeth and refused, but suddenly, the spiritual energy in her spiritual sea that belonged to the Demoness became active again. As the spiritual energy rotated, it brought a warmth that made her skin even more tender and pink.
The Demoness's attraction to her grew stronger, like a delicious Spiritual Plant, and her sense of shame and morality seemed to be gradually worn away.
Looking at the token and Talisman the Demoness held in front of her, her originally resolute determination seemed to gradually crumble, and the scale in her heart silently tipped towards indulgence...
She felt extremely uneasy and struggled painfully: "Do I really have to obey her commands?"
