"My lord, this is Wine Transformation Jar. We who walk the path of the underworld have a heavy amount of Yin Energy on our bodies, which we need to neutralize with strong wine. This Wine Transformation Jar can be used to put in the flesh and blood of demons and transform it into pure yang Blood Wine, which is the most yang-energy-rich."
I see that you are still alive, and staying on this Yellow Springs Road for too long is not good for your health. Therefore, I will give you this Wine Transformation Jar as a token of my gratitude for saving my life.
[Wine Transformation Jar (Blue): A tool that can dissolve the flesh and blood of various monsters and transform it into wine. Any Demon Beast's flesh or herbs can be placed inside. The corresponding recipe is also provided next to the jar; following the recipe will yield higher quality wine.]
Gu Xi took the wine jar from Chi Mu and found that the jar looked like a clay jar, and was quite ordinary.
But upon closer inspection, one would find that there was still more than an inch of red liquid inside the jar.
Gu Xi only peeked out and immediately felt the strong smell of alcohol and Blood Qi.
Gu Xi dipped his finger in the wine and felt that it was like Holy Water that had been diluted tenfold, containing a pure yang energy.
If a normal person drinks this, they probably won't be able to sleep at night.
Peeking closer, I discovered that there were indeed three different recipes engraved inside the wine jar.
One type is Tiger Body Wine, which requires the release of a fierce tiger and the addition of various tonics to transform it. The yang energy of this wine is much stronger than that of wine that can be transformed at will.
Another type is Five Venoms Wine, which requires five poisonous monsters to transform it. Drinking it can strengthen the body.
The last type of wine has no name, but it requires a great many ingredients, such as deer antlers, fish scales, and bear bile. There are more than ten ingredients that can be listed. Most importantly, these ingredients are used in large quantities, but the wine's effects are not described.
I just need these materials.
This left Gu Xi somewhat stunned.
However, Gu Xi eventually accepted Chi Mu's kindness and put away the Wine Transformation Jar.
Just then, a slight tremor came from the Wild Temple. Gu Xi looked up and saw a large number of blue light spots spreading outwards.
"Thank God, those trapped souls have finally been released."
Seeing this situation, Chi Mu felt a mix of emotions.
The centipede had previously occupied this Wild Temple, almost completely cutting off the road.
All the undead that came from here were trapped in the Wild Temple.
Now that the centipede is dead, the undead are released, and they naturally scatter and flee immediately.
However, Gu Xi noticed that those blue dots that flew in all directions like shooting stars quickly flew back in reverse.
They did not transform into human form, but instead hovered around Gu Xi like specks of light.
Gu Xi understood their meaning immediately.
This is clearly an attempt to be taken in.
Gu Xi didn't think much of it, Steel City Gate appeared behind him on the spot.
Then Gu Xi pointed behind him.
"Those who want to come are welcome. We can't guarantee anything else, but we can at least provide a safe place to stay."
At Gu Xi's command, a large number of light spots flew into the Steel City Gate.
Meanwhile, messages kept popping up in front of Gu Xi's eyes.
[You have subdued 7102 Wandering Souls, and your Death Lord experience has increased by 7102 points.]
Finally, the system thoughtfully provided Gu Xi with a statistical summary, showing how many souls had entered the Aryadovi City.
Chi Mu also somewhat shocked by Gu Xi's actions.
He then bowed to Gu Xi and said, "My lord, you are a good man."
"Don't say that. I just did what I was supposed to do. The Wild Temple is open now, you can leave on your own."
As Gu Xi spoke, he entered the Wild Temple.
He wanted to go inside and take a look at the situation inside the Wild Temple.
After entering the Wild Temple through the gap in the city wall created by the centipede, Gu Xi immediately saw an incense burner magnified a hundred times.
The incense ash inside was scattered all over the ground, which showed that the centipede had hidden itself here.
Behind the fallen incense burner was a statue whose face was obscured.
Although the place had been occupied by centipedes for an unknown period of time, the statue remained undamaged.
It's clear that the centipede is also somewhat afraid of the statue placed in the Wild Temple. Even though he has taken over the place, he doesn't dare to do anything to the statue.
As Gu Xi was examining the statue, Chi Mu also entered. As soon as he entered the Wild Temple, he knelt and bowed three times and nine times before the statue. After muttering a few words, he took a step toward the statue.
Then a red line shot out from the statue's hand, grabbed the Chi Mu, and flung it outwards.
Seeing this, Gu Xi wanted to go and help Chi Mu, but found that Chi Mu had taken the opportunity to leave Yellow Springs Road.
This situation surprised Gu Xi.
This also made him understand the purpose of the statue in front of him.
Gu Xi thought for a moment, then turned to Yong Dou and asked, "What are you going to do with the mana that was just extracted?"
"When we took back the altar, we used thirty bottles of miniature Magic Potion that add 100 mana each. We haven't dealt with the rest yet."
Gu Xi immediately understood that what was being said as "not yet resolved" meant that there was no way to resolve it.
The extracted mana is not so easy to preserve; the Skeleton Mage's technology can only preserve a miniature Magic Potion with 100 mana.
Yong Dou hasn't yet developed a ritual to store magical power, so this extra magical power is somewhat wasted.
During battle, Skeleton Mage can also use mana to sustain themselves.
Now that the battle is over, there's really nowhere to put all this extra mana.
If we delay any longer, we're afraid it will all be wasted.
However, Gu Xi had neither the technology nor the materials to store them, so even though it was a pity, Gu Xi could only choose to waste them.
Fortunately, Gu Xi a good mindset. After all, every time his Death Avatar attacked before, Gu Xi would waste a lot of his magic power. Now, he wouldn't be so concerned about a little bit of magic power.
Now Gu Xi has an idea.
"Go and bring all that magic power over here, and offer it to this statue."
Upon hearing Gu Xi's words, Yong Dou offered no objection.
He was unable to deal with the magic power at the moment, so Gu Xi ordered him to immediately send the jar that had been placed on the altar to the Wild Temple.
At this moment, Gu Xi had already directed his men to straighten the incense burner again.
All the incense ash that had fallen to the ground was put back into the incense burner.
As for the things inside the Wild Temple, Gu Xi didn't touch any of them. At least he didn't do what he used to do, like digging three times to clear the ground if he encountered anything.
After Yong Dou brought over the magic power extracted from the centipede, Gu Xi personally offered it as a sacrifice, presenting the centipede's magic power before the statue.
After doing all this, Gu Xi was about to turn around.
At that moment, he heard a voice in his ear.
