Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Instance Card

The Six Vault Immortal Thief, also known as the "Sage's Thief," originated in the world of Under One Person and was one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

This cultivation method used the body's six hollow organs as its foundation to construct a perfect digestive system. It could instantly break down ingested substances into the purest energy, produce a corrosive effect through saliva, delay aging, and eliminate body odor.

Its core lay in stealing the vitality of heaven and earth and converting it into one's own energy. Not only could it repair bodily injuries during combat, but the vitality broken down through this method could also help companions recover their stamina.

Whoosh!!!

As three thousand Villain Points were deducted, a black skill card appeared out of thin air in Nalan Sheng's hand.

Use it!

At Nalan Sheng's silent command, the skill card in his hand transformed into a mass of dark light and shot into the center of his brow.

At the same time, memories concerning the cultivation of the Six Vault Immortal Thief appeared out of thin air in Nalan Sheng's mind.

Once Nalan Sheng finished absorbing those cultivation memories, he successfully mastered the beginner-level Six Vault Immortal Thief.

"So this is the Six Vault Immortal Thief? It feels amazing~"

Nalan Sheng instinctively activated the Six Vault Immortal Thief and immediately felt the energy of heaven and earth sweeping toward him from all around, pouring endlessly into his body.

Although Nalan Sheng could also absorb the energy of heaven and earth when cultivating the Jinglei Formula, that method could only refine lightning-attribute energy.

The Six Vault Immortal Thief, however, turned nothing away. It could devour the energy of heaven and earth of every attribute and convert it into the purest energy.

Although that energy could not directly improve Nalan Sheng's cultivation, it could rapidly restore his depleted Dou Qi and stamina, greatly increasing his staying power in battle.

However, the beginner-level Six Vault Immortal Thief still recovered them a little too slowly.

So Nalan Sheng spent another three thousand Villain Points to upgrade the Six Vault Immortal Thief from beginner level to minor mastery.

Compared with its beginner level, the Six Vault Immortal Thief at minor mastery had not changed much. Only the speed and range at which it devoured the energy of heaven and earth had increased severalfold.

"The Six Vault Immortal Thief at minor mastery should be enough for now, right?"

Nalan Sheng stroked his chin, grumbled inwardly for a moment, then headed toward the training grounds.

Boom, boom, boom...

After reaching the training grounds, Nalan Sheng wasted no time. He repeatedly used the Benlei Palm and the Lightning Divine Movement Technique, draining the Dou Qi in his body as quickly as possible.

After exhausting his Dou Qi, Nalan Sheng used the Flame-Flame Fruit's power to launch giant fireballs into the sky one after another.

Thud!!!

When the last shred of Nalan Sheng's stamina was drained, he collapsed onto the training grounds, his face deathly pale.

Feeling his utterly depleted reserves of Dou Qi and stamina, Nalan Sheng curled his lips slightly, then activated the Six Vault Immortal Thief at full power.

Rumble...

A powerful suction immediately emanated from Nalan Sheng's body, forming an invisible vortex dozens of meters across that drew in the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.

As that energy poured into him, Nalan Sheng's Dou Qi and stamina rapidly recovered.

In just a few breaths, Nalan Sheng's depleted Dou Qi and stamina returned to their peak.

Nalan Sheng could recover to his peak so quickly partly because the Six Vault Immortal Thief's restorative power was truly astonishing, and partly because he was too weak.

After all, Nalan Sheng was only a five-star Dou Zhe, with very limited reserves of Dou Qi and stamina.

If Nalan Sheng had been a Dou Huang expert, he could not possibly have recovered to his peak in such a short time.

However, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to replenish his depleted reserves was merely a basic ability of the Six Vault Immortal Thief.

The Six Vault Immortal Thief's greatest strength lay in its ability to devour all kinds of energy-containing substances. The more energy those substances contained, the faster he would recover.

For example, if Nalan Sheng used the Six Vault Immortal Thief to devour the flesh and magic cores of magical beasts, his recovery speed would certainly far exceed what he could achieve by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

After briefly testing the Six Vault Immortal Thief's abilities, Nalan Sheng summoned the System Shop again.

Among the newly listed merchandise, besides the Six Vault Immortal Thief, another item greatly interested Nalan Sheng. Its attributes were displayed as follows:

[Name: Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Instance Card]

[Effect: Allows the user to temporarily travel to the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and remain there for six months.]

[Price: 6,000 Villain Points]

Since Nalan Sheng was a transmigrator himself, traveling to another world was nothing unfamiliar to him.

Besides, he only needed to spend six thousand Villain Points to explore another world for half a year. Nalan Sheng thought that was quite a bargain.

System, I want to purchase the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Instance Card.

With a thought from Nalan Sheng, another six thousand Villain Points were deducted, and a golden card appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The instant Nalan Sheng touched the golden card, a piece of information appeared in his mind.

The information was simple: when using the [Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Instance Card], Nalan Sheng could decide whether to synchronize the passage of time between the main world and the instance world.

If Nalan Sheng chose to synchronize them, then after he spent six months in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, six months would also have passed on the Dou Qi Continent.

The advantage of doing this was that it allowed Nalan Sheng to temporarily avoid certain dangers.

For example, if Xiao Xun'er took a dislike to Nalan Sheng and sent Ling Ying to assassinate him, he could flee to the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils for refuge.

Unless Ling Ying stayed in the same spot waiting for six months, he would surely have left long before Nalan Sheng returned from the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

If Nalan Sheng chose not to synchronize the passage of time, however, time in the main world and the instance world would be relatively frozen.

Put simply, no matter how long Nalan Sheng stayed in the instance world, only an instant would pass on the Dou Qi Continent.

Seeing that the [Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Instance Card] could save his life at a critical moment, Nalan Sheng no longer intended to use it in a hurry.

Nalan Sheng planned to wait until he encountered trouble he could not resolve himself, or until a new instance card appeared in the System Shop, before using the [Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Instance Card].

After putting away the [Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Instance Card], Nalan Sheng finally dismissed the System Shop, then shifted his attention to his character status panel.
