Did I Agree to Steal Tang San's Purple Qi and Cultivate the Purple Demon Eye?

A Lucky Draw Box cost ten Points.

Ye Ying immediately exchanged for one to test the waters.

It yielded thirteen Points.

The second Lucky Draw Box yielded sixteen Points.

The third yielded twelve, the fourth eleven, and the fifth yielded another sixteen.

No more. That was enough.

Lucky draws were gambling.

I, Huang, would never coexist with gambling and drugs!

Take a small profit and run—there was no way he would let the system screw him over.

He had made quite a habit of fleecing scammers in his previous life.

After fleecing the system just a little, his Points reached 2,310.

Now, he no longer had to worry so much about spending Points on modifications.

Even minor modifications that lowered restrictions could be performed twenty-three times.

When Ye Ying returned to the dormitory, Xiao Wu had already finished subduing those self-funded students.

At the same time, he told Xiao Wu that she could collect Gold Soul Coins from Spirit Hall.

Xiao Wu was so anxious that she ran off without even putting on her shoes.

When she had first arrived in human society, she had not understood the value of money. Now, she truly understood its endless uses.

Unfortunately, the amount she received was not even a fraction of the handful of Gold Soul Coins Ye Ying had casually given her.

Although Ye Ying had no ability to earn money, three of the Storage Soul Tools in his possession were filled to the brim with Copper Soul Coins, Silver Soul Coins, and Gold Soul Coins.

[Ye Ying has one Gold Soul Coin,]

He only needed to change "one" into "one hundred million,"

and he would have more money than he could spend in a lifetime.

The days that followed were spent living comfortably every day.

He constantly had all kinds of Mixue Drinks on hand, which could permanently increase his various attributes:

Soul Power, spiritual power, strength.

As expected of the Snow King version of the Drunken Sword Immortal martial soul.

If you said that without the system, I'd just be trash, then I'd admit it.

But if I worked like a beast every day before getting the system, only to keep working like a beast every day after getting it, then wouldn't the system have come for nothing?

Moreover, Ye Ying had finally derived the cultivation method most suitable for training his spiritual power.

It likewise used the trace of purple qi absorbed at sunrise through the Purple Demon Eye, but instead of using it for cultivation, it formed a purple spot within the Sea of Consciousness, continuously stimulating it to achieve the effect of constantly raising his spiritual power every second.

Just as dawn began to break, Tang San arrived at Yu Xiaogang's room and looked outside through the window.

From here, she could see the pale white glow before sunrise—the only time purple qi could be absorbed.

Meanwhile, Ye Ying continued lying in bed, holding Xiao Wu as he slept.

Tang San was just a complete idiot.

Purple qi would not become absorbable just because you stood higher and saw farther.

Douluo Star was so far from the sun that even standing atop Mount Zhumu Douluo would be useless.

Ye Ying silently recited the mnemonic for his spiritual power cultivation method.

You love me, I love you, Ice City Ice City Sweet.

A stream of purple qi swiftly poured into Ye Ying's body before entering his Sea of Consciousness.

Inside Yu Xiaogang's dormitory, Tang San sat there earnestly, watching the pale white glow in the east.

Her eyes were wide as bells as she stared with utmost concentration.

"The purple qi that appears when the sun first rises is here!"

The Purple Demon Eye began operating madly.

But just as she prepared to use the cultivation method to draw that trace of purple qi into her eyes and cultivate the Purple Demon Eye, that trace of purple qi vanished instantly.

It just... vanished.

"Eh!"

"Where did my purple qi go?"

She blinked hard, trying to find that trace of purple qi again, but it was gone.

There was no trace of it at all.

In the time it took her to blink, the sun had already risen.

"How strange."

"This is the first time I've encountered something like this in all these years."

Yu Xiaogang also asked Tang San in confusion, "Little San, what's wrong?"

Tang San smiled awkwardly and did not explain further.

"Nothing. Seeing the sun rise just reminded me that I should work hard at cultivating."

Yu Xiaogang smiled in satisfaction when he heard that.

She was still cultivating very diligently.

At that moment, Ye Ying was drawing a large amount of purple qi into his Sea of Consciousness.

"Didn't they say purple qi was scarce? How could there be such a huge mass of it?"

"Or is it that the cultivation technique most suited to me can absorb more purple qi?"

Ye Ying pondered inwardly, but could not make sense of it.

In truth, it was because the cultivation technique he used was too powerful.

It absorbed every last bit of the already scarce purple qi brought by sunrise.

After absorbing the purple qi, Ye Ying's Sea of Consciousness instantly turned into a vast expanse of purple.

Under Ye Ying's control, the pervasive purple qi rapidly condensed into a small cluster, then was continuously compressed into a spot of light that emitted a purple glow.

[The light spot in the Sea of Consciousness began stimulating the Sea of Consciousness, increasing mental power. Ye Ying felt pain and could not help frowning.]

Ye Ying immediately began making a modification.

"Add a 'not' before 'feel pain.'"

[Modification successful. A "not" has been added before "feel pain." Points +1. Current Points: 2356.]

[The light spot in the Sea of Consciousness began stimulating the Sea of Consciousness, increasing mental power. Ye Ying could not feel pain and could not help frowning.]

Ye Ying could not feel anything at all, yet his brow furrowed uncontrollably. Soon afterward, it relaxed again.

Useful. Extremely useful.

He only needed the good results, while he could directly alter away the negative effects.

After leaving Yu Xiaogang's dormitory, Tang San hurriedly summoned the Blue Silver Weasel.

"Today, I suddenly couldn't absorb the purple qi that appears when the sun first rises. Do you know what happened?"

The Blue Silver Weasel, Liu Ruyan, was also stunned for a moment.

"I don't know. There wasn't anything like this in the original plot."

"Is your Purple Demon Eye no longer working?"

"Don't tell me someone else used the Purple Demon Eye and absorbed all the purple qi?"

When Ye Ying had threatened Tang San, the Blue Silver Weasel had already been knocked unconscious and knew nothing.

At that moment, she guessed this was likely where the plot had changed.

It would need to be resolved through her own modifications.

But why?

Liu Ruyan could not figure it out.

Tang San suddenly thought of something and quickly ran toward the dormitory.

Yet when she returned to the dormitory, she found Ye Ying holding Xiao Wu as he slept.

Tang San was confused. What was going on?

The next morning, she once again waited in Yu Xiaogang's dormitory for that sliver of pale white light at dawn.

Today, she had to absorb that trace of purple qi that appeared when the sun first rose.

The Purple Demon Eye was the guarantee of Hidden Weapons' precision.

Without the Purple Demon Eye, the accuracy of Hidden Weapons would be greatly reduced.

Very soon, that sliver of pale white light appeared in the east once more.

A strand of purple qi swiftly spread out, "Purple Demon Eye, absorb!"

Tang San roared inwardly, straining to activate the Purple Demon Eye technique.

Finally, a tiny trace within a wisp of purple qi was slowly drawn toward Tang San from afar.

At that moment, Ye Ying was also in the dormitory, sleeping while absorbing the purple qi of the rising sun.

Why could he do both at once?

Because

he had modified himself yet again.
