It seems that the only skill she possesses that was given to her by the system is the ability to reload saves; everything else she earned through hard work, burning, killing, looting, and exorcising demons.
She personally cultivated each of the working spirits, learned the Cultivation Method Divine Ability and supernatural abilities one book at a time, and painstakingly researched the principles of formations and talismans herself.
Reloading save files was indeed her biggest advantage. Losing it didn't seem so unacceptable. Divine Ability techniques and supernatural Cultivation Method in her mind would not be lost, the souls of her subordinates from the Void Stone would not dissipate, and the superb movement Movement Method she had honed by dodging fatal blows countless times would not disappear.
The system could not control her because of this.
Bai Lan didn't expect the save/load skill to last her a lifetime, so within the limited time she had, she kept using her cheat ability to improve her strength.
There are always people more capable than you, and there is always a higher level to reach. One day she will ascend and leave this world. Only strength can be her greatest asset.
After sorting out the whole story in his mind, Bai Lan shook his head helplessly. "You little brat, you are clearly the little yellow bird hiding behind the cicada. In the future, stop pointing fingers at what I, the sect leader, do. You are clearly the one who is best at snatching food from the tiger's mouth... no, system."
The Heavenly Dao of this realm is truly pitiful. He is either destroyed or coveted by unknown creatures. The Child of Destiny he raises is of little use. It would be better for him to abdicate as soon as possible, enter her Void Stone, and run away together.
"With you in my presence, this mission is impossible to complete. You want me to control you and steal the fortune you took from the Child of Destiny? I might as well escort Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West." The system buried its head in its legs, its tone sorrowful, and its entire body was filled with an aura of pain.
His system shop contains many fast-acting pills, such as elixirs that allow you to level up instantly without cultivation, protective shields to avoid lightning tribulations, and abilities that grant you a certain Divine Ability power upon redemption. He can even redeem special physiques like the Red Lotus Karmic Body.
The more lodging items you exchange, the more often you use these fast-paced items, and the stronger the system's control over lodging items becomes.
Bai Lan... she hasn't even drunk a single bottle of mineral water from the system's shop!
To be precise, it was because he hadn't completed any side quests that the system shop had never been opened. The system had completely given up on completing the system's quests. This woman's purpose was clear from the beginning: to use his power to come to the cultivation world.
"So what was your original intention in wanting to become stronger? It wasn't just to spar with me, was it? You have no ambition." Bai Lan said with a smile.
The system was shocked and pointed at itself. "Me, hit you?! Don't be ridiculous."
He just wanted to try to break free from the control of the system and gain his freedom, so he suddenly wanted to become stronger, especially more resilient. However, he did not expect that Bai Lan would see through everything as soon as he revealed his intention to become stronger.
"If I were the person behind you, I would not have made things so simple. Even I know that when Yu takes people in, he takes away their life Primordial Spirit. How could the person behind you not have thought of this?" Bai Lan shook his head.
The system grew increasingly withdrawn. "Alright, stop talking, let me have some peace and quiet... There aren't many left. Once Su-chan ascends and leaves this world, I'll definitely be recalled for failing the mission and need to be repaired again. In the remaining time, let me at least read 10,000 more novels of arrogant and exhilarating stories, 10,000 novels of domineering immortals falling in love with me, and then comfortably return to my three-meter-long bed to sleep for a few months and recharge my energy."
"But if you are willing to give up your current physical body and use an artificial puppet from the cultivation world as your physical body, you might be much safer," Bai Lan added.
However, the system will also lose a series of features such as encrypted audio transmission and the ability to hide itself at any time.
But compared to sending it back to the factory for repair and completely losing all its memories, losing only a small portion of commonly used functions doesn't seem so unacceptable.
"Host! You are my god!!!" The system suddenly stood up. "But, but... those puppets Xiao Luanzi made are too ugly, their joints are sticking out, and their clothes aren't even properly worn, I don't really want them..."
This matter certainly cannot be left to Luan Yin. She will personally refine the system's physical body to ensure her absolute control. At least until the system's mission completely fails, he will continue to act in this body to maintain contact with the main system, because Bai Lan needs to use the save-loading skill for a few hundred more years until he achieves ascension.
Of course, the system may have guessed this as well, but from the moment he confessed, he had already made a choice between the main system and Bai Lan.
"This matter is not urgent for now. I need to think about it some more... He Gui has already woken up. Let's talk to him first, and then we can talk about your matter." Bai Lan patted the system's shoulder and then walked towards the seventh-order confinement array in the distance.
The system felt much more at ease after being honest, and its desire to watch the excitement rekindled. It floated over behind Bai Lan and looked at He Gui in the formation.
At this moment, within the formation, He Gui, who had been beaten by Jin Heng to the point of being unable to escape even after his Nascent Soul was broken, finally slowly awoke.
The moment he opened his eyes, seven or eight Ghost Cultivator and other cultivators surrounded him, looking him up and down while muttering incomprehensible ghostly words like "this ghost is quite strong."
"Who are you! Where is Jin Heng? Where is Jin Heng? Where is Qing Xuan?!" He Gui shouted angrily, but his voice was somewhat weak, clearly sensing that the situation was not good. It wasn't until he saw Bai Lan walking slowly towards him that his voice rose again. "Nephew Bai, what do you mean by this!"
Bai Lan slowly stepped forward. In He Gui's shocked and angry gaze, her face gradually changed into Qing Xuan's appearance, and after a moment, it transformed back into her own face.
Both were Nascent Soul for a thousand years. He Gui wasn't stupid; with just this one action, He Gui understood everything.
Is there anything else you don't understand? The person who wanted to kill him was Bai Lan from beginning to end. She discovered the secret within herself, and Qing Xuan was just an illusion created by Bai Lan.
Wait, now it seems that even Jin Heng was manipulated by this girl! She even knew that Jin Heng was madly in love with Qing Xuan, which is why she deliberately stared at that old bastard Qing Xuan's face to deal with her... Wait, so why does she know so much about Qing Xuan? Could it be that Qing Xuan's death is also related to her?
Seeing He Gui's eyes darting around, Bai Lan smiled slightly and extended her hand, " True Lord He Gui, you are a smart man. Since things have come to this, let's be frank. Hand over a wisp of your soul, Heart Demon Vow loyalty to me, and join my Spirit Taming Sect. Then I will return your physical body to you and give you your freedom."
"Join the Spirit Taming Sect? Very well, very well indeed! I've planned everything, and I've managed to guard against that fool Hanxu, but I couldn't guard against you, you little grasshopper." He Gui sneered.
Bai Lan raised an eyebrow. "Watch your words. You're now a fish on a chopping board, at my mercy. How dare you insult my uncle in front of me? It seems you really don't want to live anymore."
A chill ran down my spine as the crane returned.
