This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 173: Look, I’ve Found a Huge Treasure!

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Look, I’ve Found a Huge Treasure!

Countless experts sensed the anomaly within Qingliang City and collectively released their Divine Sense to the city walls for inspection, witnessing a spectacle that shouldn’t exist.

Normally, Qingliang City and the surrounding guard cities don’t have walls, but this time, due to the Devouring Spirit Sect’s members hiding too well and restrictions on leaving the city, a wall encompassing the four sides of Qingliang City was built within a day.

Usually, cultivators are forbidden from casually sending out their Divine Sense to investigate within the city, but the current circumstances are exceptional, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this matter.

When they saw the ethereal figure on the city wall, they were simultaneously taken aback.

"Banished Immortal?"

"No, that’s not right, it’s the Banished Immortal’s eldest disciple, Liang Yi."

"I was scared to death, I thought it was that guy who came again."

"This youngster seems to share some of the Banished Immortal’s elegance."

"This sword’s power is average, but the conception of the Sword Dao is outrageously advanced. Who knows how the Banished Immortal taught his disciple."

Hidden within Qingliang City, the big shots communicated through the air, all finding this younger generation to be fearsome.

[Ding! Congratulations on killing lv43 Zhao Feng, you have gained 100W Experience.]

Although the things Zhao Feng did were quite lowly, his strength and Realm were genuine; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to live so freely and elude capture for many years.

In the previous life, it was Zhao Feng who first made the players realize that swarming tactics were ineffective in this game; his Poison Skills gave early players headaches.

Now, in front of Liang Yi, Zhao Feng had a red mark on his forehead and still maintained a fleeing posture as he stared dumbfounded in the direction outside the city.

Liang Yi effortlessly picked off the doll hanging from Zhao Feng’s waist, gently pushed him, and Zhao Feng, unresponsive, fell backwards off the city wall.

Just now, the Mystic Bureau had transmitted a message to him, informing that the doll hanging from Zhao Feng’s waist was transformed by the Chu Family’s young miss using a Secret Technique, so he should be careful when cutting.

As Zhao Feng fell, his body began to disintegrate into ash, mixing with the bright snow; by the time he was close to the ground, nothing was left, leaving the players eagerly waiting below, hoping to loot the body, deeply regretful.

Su Youyi appeared behind Liang Yi, causing another stir among the players, with CP fans feeling extremely satisfied!

Glancing down at the players below, Liang Yi flicked his robe and, with his junior sister, gracefully turned to leave!

Having accomplished the deed, they left without a trace, hiding their fame and presence!

"Ding! Regional quest [The Eccentric Hua Yu・Zhao Feng] completed!"

"Ding! A special dungeon crystal [Chu Family: Storm Clouds] has been formed."

All the players present were moved by the notification that sounded in their ears. When they looked up again, the two figures had disappeared into the gradually subsiding snowstorm on the snow-covered city wall, leaving players somewhat lost.

They hadn’t seen enough!

But immediately, their attention was drawn to this newly formed dungeon, which was the first dungeon of the game since its launch.

This dungeon crystal would appear in all the players’ inventory, with a restricted activation area, only near the Chu Family in Qingliang City. Entering the dungeon would recreate this scenario, with Zhao Feng as the final BOSS.

"There are three difficulty levels, does the flow of time inside the dungeon match that of the outside world?" Bai Xiaomo examined the description of the dungeon crystal in her inventory, almost understanding what it was for – as a source of experience and equipment for future players.

With three difficulty levels and the lowest being a challenging 20th level, entering now would only result in a beating.

But this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the players to take on the challenge; after all, they can’t die, so they might as well familiarize themselves with the dungeon through death first.

Countless players even skipped the rewards for the regional quest from the Mystic Bureau and directly headed to Chu Family’s residence, eager to experience this devilishly difficult dungeon.

On the other side, Liang Yi, supported by his junior sister, had already returned to the courtyard. At this moment, his little fox was drooling over the birds in the cage, feeding them handfuls of food, planning to fatten them up first.

Realizing that Liang Yi and Su Youyi had returned, he quickly wiped off his drool to prevent them from noticing.

Liang Yi swayed, looking somewhat unsteady, and Su Youyi immediately supported him by his side.

"Senior brother, you really should stop pushing yourself so hard every day." Su Youyi’s concerned voice came, her tone carrying a bit of reproach.

"Seeing such a good stone for honing my sword, I couldn’t resist the urge to try it out—I’m sorry for worrying you." Liang Yi felt guilty for causing his junior sister to worry, but if he had to do it over, he’d still choose not to let her intervene.

Executing that sword technique he had newly comprehended from Sword Births All Techniques with ten points of Swordsmanship Talent and full Comprehension upon his promotion really emptied his body thoroughly.

Liang Yi slumped into a chair while the little fox Yue Bai hurried over to give his master a relaxing massage after getting Su Youyi’s permission.

"Master, is it here?"

"Move a bit to the right!"

"Apply a little more pressure! Eh, that’s just right~"

Liang Yi wore an expression of pure bliss. Now he felt that the 150,000 spiritual coins were well spent.

Su Youyi looked disdainfully at her senior brother who was thoroughly enjoying himself and took out an elixir that relieves bodily fatigue, preparing to brew a cup of Elixir Tea for her senior brother.

After watching his junior sister leave, Liang Yi sneakily stuffed two elixirs into his mouth. He also took out his spoils of war, a ring, and a cloth doll.

Inside the ring was the life’s savings of Zhao Feng, first entering sight was a huge pile of spiritual coins. After a quick glance, he could afford another little fox for free.

Disinterested in some of the lower-grade magical treasures that were unique to the flower thieves, he didn’t even bother to take a look at them. What he was most interested in was the Secret Technique Zhao Feng used to turn the young lady of the Chu household into a puppet.

However, after searching through, he couldn’t find it—it seems like it was purely transmitted through Divine Sense and not recorded in books.

Other items included a purple poison-oriented Cultivation Technique and its complementary poison-breeding secret manual, none of which were of any use to Liang Yi.

"All garbage." Liang Yi fiddled through the items with some disappointment.

"Hm? Demon Spirit Poison Grass?"

Liang Yi was pleasantly surprised. This was good stuff! A fifth-grade purple-level heavenly material and earthly treasure.

But he didn’t take it out; the poison of this grass was not weak. Although he wasn’t afraid of it, the little fox couldn’t withstand it.

"Goodness, was this prepared for breaking through to the Fifth Realm?" Liang Yi casually guessed what Zhao Feng had in mind for keeping this treasure.

This item was somewhat similar to the previously obtained Purple Crystal Heart; to those who needed it, its value was comparable to orange level, while those who didn’t might even regard it as less valuable than sixth-grade medicinal materials.

"Nice, just for this one Poison Grass, it’s worth it." Liang Yi cheerfully stored it in his backpack and then took out another puppet, curious to see what the deal was.

"Wow, this doll looks so pretty!" The little fox Yue Bai’s eyes shone brightly as she stared at the delicate doll.

Liang Yi was momentarily stunned; it seemed that a little girl of her age would indeed be interested in all kinds of dolls.

Looking down, the cloth doll was indeed exquisitely made, with details in all aspects as realistic as a real one, as if a beauty of stunning appearance was lying in Liang Yi’s palm.

No, this was real.

Liang Yi slapped his forehead. The young lady of the Chu Family—how could he have no recollection of her? In his previous life, Zhao Feng didn’t come to Qingliang City, nor was there this regional mission.

Zhao Feng’s dungeon crystal was looted after the player himself got killed, but that was a matter from level 30 to 40 versions ago, and currently, players hadn’t even finished the closed beta testing.

He flipped the doll over a few times, this kind of Secret Technique was indeed unheard of.

Liang Yi casually opened the item description of the doll but got such a fright after one glance that he jumped up from his chair, his heart surging with shock.

[Devouring Spirit Sect Saintess·Wan Tinggui](Puppet Form):A special form created by the Secret Technique of the ancient grand Mechanism Sect’s Radiant Spectrum Art, which renders the subject oblivious and insensible, can significantly extend one’s lifespan in puppet form.
