Refining Qi into Essence

"The Princess's Magic Mirror (Special Item/Extraordinary)"

Rating: SS+

Special Effect 1: Peerless Beauty

"Peerless Beauty: After paying 10 Copper Coin and dressing in front of a mirror for 1 minute, your appearance will receive a huge boost (equivalent to +2 charm), lasting for 6 hours."

"Restriction: Once per day"

Special Effect 2: Nowhere to Hide

"Nowhere to Hide: Pay 1000 Copper Coin and silently think of the person or thing you are looking for. There is a chance that relevant clues will appear on the mirror; if the search fails, you will receive a full refund."

"Restriction: Once per week"

Special Effects 3: The Princess's Story

"The Princess's Story: Pay 100,000 Copper Coin and you will have the chance to learn the Princess's Story in the history of Quenan;

The main character of the story is refreshed every month.

"This month's protagonist: The last princess of the Sailing Ship Country"

To be fair...

The first two special effects of this mirror are quite good.

"Peerless Beauty" is a special effect with extremely high cost-effectiveness.

Roger had already witnessed the advantages of high charm in Xu Xiu.

When negotiating with others.

This special effect will help him get more benefits.

"Nowhere to Hide" is a little short—

The main difference lies in the price-performance ratio.

However, it can also be used as a supplement to the Ultimate Hunter and divination.

As for "The Princess's Story".

Roger simply muttered to himself, "It's just too expensive!"

Then he placed the small, round mirror next to Cindy.

The Abyssal Demon Fish Leader's generosity in giving Roger both special skills and equipment greatly stimulated Roger's desire to fish.

After quickly tidying up...

He then began the next round of operations in earnest.

This time.

He was no longer satisfied with the speed of shooting six poles at once.

Instead, they doubled the number of fishing rods! This greatly increased the difficulty of operation.

But he could handle it! And so...

Beneath the dark, gaping crack.

Clumps of fresh and tempting bait were spreading rapidly.

More and more of the Abyssal Demon Fish, unable to control their bodies, swam upwards with longing.

One hour later.

Near where Roger cast his line.

He had caught all the Abyssal Demon Fish.

In the "Sky Dragon's Jaw Pouch," in a compartment labeled "Unprocessed Seafood," the number of Abyssal Demon Fish has accumulated to 168.

Seeing this, Roger put away his fishing rod and began his happy Taobao shopping spree.

He skillfully manipulated the demon fish's belly.

Under the influence of Extraordinary Perception.

Is there anything inside the fish's belly?

He can tell just by squeezing it.

If an item is out of stock, simply drop it into the "Edible Seafood" section; if it is available, cut it open and retrieve it.

Then go through the above process again.

that's all.

In the hidden trench.

Roger was having a great time cutting it.

He was filled with anticipation for every unfamiliar magic fish.

Every grasp and retrieving of the treasure is filled with the joy of opening a blind box.

As for what was actually taken out...

It's not that important anymore.

After all, these are just extras.

On the data panel.

Lines of information flashed by.

"You have dissected one Abyssal Demon Fish and obtained ' Black Turquoise *3'."

"You have dissected one Abyssal Demon Fish and obtained 'Parasitic Eggs*12'."

"You have obtained an ' Ancient Forefathers' Chamber Pot '."

You have obtained '24 Erotic Picture (Complete Set)'

"You have obtained a ' Repeatedly Used Resilient Fish Maw '."

"You have obtained the ' Corruption Ring ' (a cursed item)."

The field of vision of the Qi Divination Technique has already been opened.

Amidst a blue sky and white clouds.

Roger touched a pale purple ring! He was immediately invigorated.

He held the ring in his palm and examined it closely.

"Corruption Ring (Accessory/Special/Set)"

Rating: SS

"Attribute: Curse Resistance +10%"

"Curse: The Heart of Corruption"

"Heart of Corruption: Uses the target's hair, blood, body hair, etc. as a medium to cast a 'corruption' curse on them."

It can be used a maximum of once per day.

Each time, it consumes 1 unit of medium and adds 3 layers of 'corruption'.

When the 'corruption' level reaches 69, the target will suddenly die as a lump of rotting flesh.

"Symptoms of being cursed: In the early stage, one feels lethargic and drowsy; in the middle stage, one's day and night are reversed and one's mood is depressed; in the later stage, one becomes suspicious, irritable and easily angered; as the layers of 'corruption' increase, one will emit a stench like that of a corpse."

"Solution to break the curse: Destroy this ring."

"Nice one."

Regarding this strangely shaped ring.

Roger was generous with his praise.

He has no interest in casting curses on people.

But he was interested in anything that could ward off curses! He felt he wouldn't need "Heart of Corruption," such a vicious and slow method of killing.

But 10% Curse Resistance is just too good to pass up.

He lacks defensive items such as curses and souls.

The "Nuo Ou's Binding Chains" attribute can certainly greatly increase Curse Resistance.

But that thing is Exotic Weapon.

Roger didn't find it very convenient to use.

In terms of versatility, it is far less versatile than jewelry such as rings.

After placing the "Corruption Ring" into the "Alternative Equipment Slot".

Roger sped up the process of cutting into the fish's belly.

A short while later.

All one hundred-plus demon fish have been dissected.

Overall, the results were mediocre.

The main thing is happiness.

Apart from the "Corruption Ring".

Only one waterproof booklet, which appears to be Qi Refiner's notes, is of some value.

Most of the magic fish have gold coins and porcelain inside their bellies.

The rest was a jumble of random things.

For example, ' Ancient Forefathers' Chamber Pot '.

Even at the bottom of the sea.

When Roger cut open the belly of the demon fish.

They also realized that this was a demonic fish with a distinct smell.

Another example is ' Repeatedly Used Resilient Fish Maw '.

At first, he didn't realize what it was.

Driven by curiosity.

Roger studied it with great interest for a while, and finally used his Sixth Sense.

After one round of perception is completed.

He threw away the fish bladder, his face ashen.

But the most outrageous one was that set of Erotic Picture.

Roger approached the research with the intention of studying the cultural and historical materials of Ancient Ancestors.

The result was a description of "a vibrant atmosphere in a royal palace during springtime".

This was the first time Roger had wanted to switch the system to that unconventional translation method.

After one round of inventory was completed.

Roger was somewhat disheartened.

But he didn't stop.

Instead, they changed locations and continued fishing.

Even the thinnest mosquito leg is still meat!

"Earning a lot or a little is still earning!"

Through Roger's persistent efforts.

The demon fish generously came to join them.

Very soon.

The number of demon fish that died at his hands exceeded 500.

Unfortunately, the attribute given by the Abyssal Demon Fish was "Your sleeping ability has been slightly improved"—the two were ultimately destined to be apart.

While Roger was diligently opening blind boxes...

News has finally come from the Divine Art Channel, which has been muted for a long time!

Cecilia: Attention everyone! Place the ' Ao's Sand ' and ' Candle of the Sun ' at the designated locations in 10 seconds.

In the channel.

The others all replied with a single sentence.

Roger was the only one who typed a "1".

In a tense atmosphere.

No one interfered.

In the trench.

Roger quickly packed up all his fishing rods.

After changing outfits with one click.

He cautiously held the two props, straining to sense the changes in his surroundings.

In Extraordinary Perception.

Roger vaguely heard a crisp sound of cloth being torn.

Immediately afterwards.

The cracks beneath his feet shattered inch by inch.

A surge of immense energy erupted like a volcanic eruption! That energy carried with it an eternal, undying resentment.

It seemed to want to devour everything above its head.

But the next second...

An evenly matched force field opened up from the sea surface and slowly pressed down.

The collision of the two forces did not produce any exaggerated consequences such as an explosion.

Roger could sense it.

They became entangled and wrestled together.

The commotion wasn't significant.

But the forces involved extend to every corner of the sea! (See the data panel.)

"Insight: You perceive that the Deep Sea Giant Serpent has broken free from most of its restraints and is about to leave its divine realm to begin this generation's 'hunting'."

"Insight: You have realized that the Sea Serpent Queen has opened her divine kingdom."

The realms of the two ascendants became inextricably intertwined.

Due to the inclusiveness of the Ocean Authority Rank.

They began to merge with each other.

This was destined to be a life-or-death battle, where the loser would lose everything.

"Sixth Sense: You have sensed that the Celestial God Quinan has opened the ' God-Human Passage '."

"Hint: Your servant Diana has killed one Sea Wolf Knight."

"Waaaaah!"

After the crack broke.

Large numbers of trench creatures rushed out of that land where the sun never shone.

Amidst the chaos.

Roger went in the opposite direction, bypassing the area where the Queen's and the Serpent's kingdoms overlapped, and successfully reached the world beneath the rift!

*Puff puff puff! Underwater Catapult is launched at full power.

A short while later.

Roger then found a secluded place.

It was a bottomless underwater cave.

He found an inconspicuous spot and crawled inside.

Following Cecilia's instructions, the "Candle of the Sun" and "Ao's Sand" were successfully placed! Now all that's left is to wait.

This was accompanied by messages of quest completion appearing in the Divine Art Channel.

An invisible chain quietly took shape at the bottom of each trench.

Roger opened the bottle of "Ao's Sand".

Pale golden sand began to emerge little by little and started to grow slowly.

At that moment.

Roger could sense it.

This sand is constantly eroding the "Ocean Authority Rank" deposited here.

And under the influence of that invisible Divine Art Chains.

The weakening effect was amplified infinitely.

This will put a lot of pressure on the "Deep Sea Giant Serpent"!

"No wonder they wanted it to drag on as long as possible..."

"The Deep Sea Giant Serpent isn't stupid; I reckon an uninvited guest will be visiting soon..."

Inside the underwater cave.

Roger cunningly hid the Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Sword under the silt at the entrance.

Then, with a righteous air, he took out the Red Moon.

Not far away.

A round, deformed monster slowly appeared.

After discovering Roger.

It let out a low growl.

But as he kept shouting...

Its saliva began to flow involuntarily.

On the seabed.

This scene is truly disgusting.

What's even more disgusting is...

This thing has a whopping eight heads.

Every head is spitting saliva!

Roger frowned.

Just as the deformed monster rushed through the cave entrance.

He suddenly shouted angrily.

He raised the Red Moon high in his hand!

Immediately afterwards.

A beam of white light shot out from the mud, piercing the demon from below!...

"Hint: You have severely injured the ' Cage Demon ' using the Flowing Magnetic Diffraction Sword."

"' Cage Demon ' (LV69) has entered a critically injured state."

"Pinion count suppression, huh..."

Roger hesitated for a moment, then swung his sword and charged forward.

After dodging the Cage Demon's spittle, he slashed the heavily injured demon more than ten times in one go.

Who knew that this still couldn't kill it! The Cage Demon was in Near-Death State, but it was still tirelessly spitting saliva.

Left with no other choice.

Roger had no choice but to open the data panel.

Your Qi Master level has been upgraded to LV10.

"Your Qi Master level has been increased to LV12 (total level LV59)"

"Your overall attributes have received a slight increase."

"Notification: The ring-based suppression between you and the Cage Demon has disappeared."

"You have acquired a new skill from Qi Master - Refining Qi into Essence (LV11 reward)"

There will be another update very late. Update times may be a bit irregular lately, but there will definitely be two updates per day.
