This World's Supernatural Powers

After the door was closed, visibility inside the room became very low.

Please enjoy.

The dark-skinned girl closed her eyes in fear, knelt at Lu Bai's feet, and trembled uncontrollably.

If you look closely, you'll also notice tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Ah, this...

Lu Bai glanced at the village girl, then at the door she had locked.

He was thinking.

Although we don't have a very deep understanding yet, based on this brief contact alone, we can conclude that life in this world must be quite difficult for humans.

Lu Bai squatted down and patted the village girl's head.

Just that touch made the little girl tremble wildly like a quail.

The little girl's hair was so rough that it was severely split and dry, and didn't feel very good to the touch.

However, he didn't mind and said softly, "You might have misunderstood something. Open your eyes first."

Whether it was due to extreme fear or some other reason, the young village girl showed no other reaction besides trembling.

Helpless, Lu Bai could only repeat himself.

Perhaps sensing a turning point, the village girl cautiously opened her eyes.

Throughout the process, she was tense, afraid that she would see some bloody or bizarre scene if she opened her eyes.

"You... aren't you going to eat...?"

Lu Bai was too lazy to explain, so he turned to the side and pointed to the miniature stone house at the base of the wall.

"What's this?"

The young village girl clearly looked bewildered.

Seeing this, Lu Bai simply stopped repeating himself and let her calm down first.

The room fell silent immediately.

About a minute or two passed.

The young village girl stared timidly at Lu Bai, her voice barely audible.

"God of Wealth Tower".

Fortunately, the room was quiet enough that Lu Bai could hear clearly.

He then pressed further, "Are you worshipping the God of Wealth?"

As the village girl spoke, her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the God of Wealth Tower, as if she was a little worried that she might offend someone.

He explained in a respectful tone, "No, the God of Wealth Tower is a place to house household spirits."

After chatting with the village girl for a while, Lu Bai managed to gain a basic understanding of the world.

Just as he guessed, extraordinary powers do indeed exist in this world.

But it wasn't a place teeming with monsters and where the people were suffering.

There is currently an established order.

Great Immortal Lord, Great Yellow Immortal, Great White Immortal, Great Growth Immortal.

This order can be simply referred to as the Four Great Sects.

These immortals are not in conflict with humans; perhaps the term "mutual help" would be a more appropriate description.

Household spirits, or Guardian Immortal, are naturally the lowest level, and are not even officially recognized.

As the Four Great Sects that have attained some spiritual enlightenment, they can only protect the peace of the home and are not qualified to have shrines or statues placed in them. They can only be housed in these miniature human dwellings.

The household spirits have low Mana and are highly animalistic.

Therefore, they generally do not descend to the altar, do not speak, and do not possess family members to make the person seeking Incense Officer.

Family members only need to burn incense and worship at fixed times.

The next level is called Altar Immortal.

It can be simply understood as the most basic frontline organization, such as the neighborhood committee.

As for higher levels, of course there are more, but unfortunately those are beyond the understanding of a country girl like Xiaoli.

"If that's the case, then what were you doing just now?"

Lu Bai noticed the blind spot.

If nothing unexpected happens, those villagers probably thought he was a highly skilled hermit.

Then, why be afraid?

Don't humans get along quite well with these Four Great Sects?

Was his previous action clearly an attempt to appease me by offering Xiao Li as a bribe?

After learning that Lu Bai was human, Xiao Li became noticeably bolder.

She said softly, "Many people have gone missing in the village recently. The templekeepers passing by all say that things haven't been peaceful lately."

She shrank back slightly and continued.

"I heard, I heard, that Grandmother Wang San has disappeared. Anyway, whatever you do, don't go out after dark, and definitely don't walk at night."

Lu Bai nodded knowingly.

If the Four Great Sects, then the one at the very top of the human realm is this Grandmother Wang San.

The Four Great Sects religious beliefs and the folk Incense Sect system were established under his leadership.

If this person suddenly disappears, it's only natural that trouble will ensue.

As for the Qinggang Forest he passed through in the afternoon, it had always been very unsettling, and almost no one dared to pass through it at night.

After Grandmother Wang San disappeared, things naturally became even more dangerous. Many times, even passing through that forest during the day could easily lead to an accident.

This is why the villagers immediately assumed Lu Bai was a wandering immortal when they heard he came from Qinggang Forest and saw his extraordinary demeanor.

"Oh right, you said you've been traveling all day, you must be hungry, right? I'll go get you something to eat."

Xiao Li brushed the dust off her knees and got up to start a fire in the wood-burning stove.

Lu Bai turned around and examined the God of Wealth Tower at the base of the wall.

From beginning to end, there was no movement at all inside the God of Wealth Tower.

Perhaps if I could talk to the household spirits, I could learn more.

He didn't have to wait long; Xiao Li placed a bowl of noodles in front of Lu Bai.

It's bland and watery, so it's hard to expect it to be very delicious.

However, Lu Bai didn't pay much attention to it, picked up the chopsticks with some mold spots at the end, and started eating directly.

Seeing that Lu Bai didn't mind at all, Xiao Li immediately started praising herself.

"Hehe, you look like a young master from a wealthy family, you must have never tasted our kind of cooking before."

Lu Bai swallowed the noodles and smiled gently, "Thank you."

You probably wouldn't see such a handsome man living in a village.

Xiao Li stared blankly at him eating for a while before getting up and speaking.

"I'll go make your bed. Just make do for today."

Chirp~ Chirp~ Chirp~

Lu Bai lay on a simple wooden bed with his hands behind his head.

The chirping of insects outside was incessant, occasionally punctuated by the distant barking of dogs, creating a noisy atmosphere typical of the countryside.

Perhaps because he's been living in modern life for too long, he's not actually that sleepy right now.

He pondered what he should do next.

After most of the day had passed, only six fighters had been eliminated.

Without a doubt, the scope of this Deathmatch Showdown is likely much larger than the previous two rounds.

He needs some easier way to find his deathmatchers.

He lay on the bed in a daze for a while, then sat up.

I got out of bed and walked to the window.

Because it's located near the mountains, the fog rises very early.

The first mist had already enveloped the entire village, making the broken tiles of the wooden houses outside the windows appear hazy, giving everything a mysterious aura.

He didn't just get up in the middle of the night to do some mindless breathing exercises because he couldn't sleep; he sensed that something was wrong.

The chirping of insects around the house... became quieter.

No, to be precise, it's become farther away.

The insects nearby stopped chirping.

On the misty, cobblestone path, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The figure had arms that were noticeably longer than those of an average person, and appeared to be naked, standing on the road looking around.
