Chapter 366: A Talking Teleportation Array
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“Sir! A demon is here!” The moment Zou Mo opened his door in the early morning, he was so startled that he almost dropped to the ground.
A cloud of black mist floated in the corridor, roaring shrilly, “Hahahaha! I can never die; how can you deal with me with your weak trick?!”
Fang Qi opened his door with sleepy eyes. “What’s this noise outside?”
A door-shaped engraving appeared on the wall at the end of the corridor between Fang Qi’s room and Zou Mo’s room.
However, this door didn’t have a handle, which meant that it couldn’t be opened from the outside.
The complicated patterns around the door frame showed that this door was actually an array.
A dark-red cloud floated in the corridor with a faint mist connecting it to the center of the wooden door covered by complicated patterns and an engraving of a pale golden demon face.
“S… Sir, what’s this?!” As a minor cultivator whose cultivation strength was lower than the customers, Zou Mo was still scared when he remembered yesterday’s battle. Seeing Mr. Fang walking out of his room, he immediately hid behind his boss.
“You mean this thing?” Mr. Fang looked at the door and then at the cloud of mist as big as a washing basin. “You’re still alive?”
“Of course!” The crimson eyes in the cloud of mist looked smug. “Besides, I recovered a lot of my strength! You’re a little guy at the Grand Ancestral Warrior Realm, and I can blow you guys away with one breath!”
With that said, the cloud of mist opened its mouth and sucked in all the nearby spiritual essence.
Its body expanded to twice of its size while a chilly power gathered in its body.
“Gulp.” With a strange sound, a big surge of spiritual essence flowed from its body into the door through the tail-like misty thread connecting its body and the engraved door.
“Hu!”
It blew out a breath, and Mr. Fang felt a breeze on his face; even Zou Mo felt nothing but a breeze.
Instantly, Fang Qi saw the number of usages of the teleportation array turned from [1] to [2] on the System Interface.
“Where’s my demonic energy?!” The cloud of black mist shook its head in the air. “How can it be?!”
“Ahh!” The cloud of mist screamed in frustration. “You puny humans! You are mere humans; how can you deprive me of the demonic energy that I just condensed?!”
Undaunted, it sucked in the surrounding spiritual essence again.
“Gulp.”
Quickly, the new surge of spiritual essence slowly flowed through the misty thread into the door with golden engravings.
Mr. Fang had gotten a general idea of the mechanism and waved his hand at it. “Keep working. Although you don’t get a bonus for your work…” he leaned toward it with a harmless smile, “you will receive fewer beatings.”
“I don’t believe it! It’s impossible!” Then, it tried to condense spiritual essence again. On Mr. Fang’s System Interface, the teleportation array’s number of usages gradually grew.
When Fang Qi opened the shop, he saw a rare beam of sunshine shining through the clouds onto the gloomy city. After yesterday’s upheaval, a big area of the city was destroyed, and the whole city was busy with reconstruction today in an orderly way.
After all, all the buildings in the area except Mr. Fang’s shop were ruined.
Ruan Ning stood outside of her shop and directed the reconstruction with high spirits. “After I understand the Immortal-Slaying Grand Array, I will build one outside my shop!”
The biggest concern for people such as Tianxu Daoist and Wang Lingxiao was the demon. After making some arrangements in their factions, they hurried to the shop.
“Mr. Fang!” Wang Lingxiao cupped his hands. “I’ll take one bottle of Coke!”
“I wonder how you’re going to handle that demon?”
“Little Mo, get the bottles of Coke for the customers,” Fang Qi told Zou Mo to get the Coke for them and then said, “As for that, you guys can go upstairs and see it yourselves.”
“See it ourselves?” People like Wang Lingxiao, Tianxu Daoist, and Duan Yue took their Coke from Zou Mo, paid crystals, and took a big gulp from the bottles. Did Mr. Fang suppress the demon in this place?
They immediately went upstairs to check.
A dark cloud was turning around in the corridor in frustration. “What’s wrong?! I just can’t believe it! Ahh!”
It sucked in a mouthful of spiritual essence, and its whole body expanded like a full balloon.
Then, its body deflated while the spiritual essence leaked out.
“No! Again!” It sucked in another mouthful of spiritual essence.
“Hiss!” It leaked again.
“Again!” It sucked in another mouthful of spiritual essence.
“Hiss!”
It leaked!
“Puchi!” Wang Lingxiao laughed and spat out the Coke, and the dark liquid splashed onto the face of the black cloud.
“…”
– On the other side –
“Junior Sister, I’ve made a huge mistake, right?” Shui Xianyun had woken up, and she sat on the bed with dull eyes while she listened to the talk between her Junior Sister Xichi and the disciples. She had complicated feelings inside her.
“Senior Sister, we are all responsible for this disaster. Besides, in the past hundreds of years, you had been guarding the Forbidden Place of Nanhua Faction; the Forbidden Place of Nanhua Faction is the toughest to guard out of all the forbidden places, and you had a hard job. No one blames you for what happened. After all, despite the upheavals, the big factions mostly lost no more than some properties. Don’t take it to heart.”
“By the way, Faction Master said that the spiritual essence in your body has merged with the demonic energy, and even the combined forces of the Yimu Daoist Palace, the Haoran Faction, and our Nanhua Faction can’t do anything to it.”
“It means that my cultivation strength is destroyed, right?” Her eyes had no light in them as if she were dead inside.
“No.” Xichi Spiritual Master shook her head and said, “We still have one method…”
“You still have a method?” Shui Xianyun shook her head with a bitter smile and said, “Junior Sister, don’t try to comfort me with lies. If the combined forces of the Yimu Daoist Palace, the Haoran Faction, and our Nanhua Faction can’t do anything about it, where else can we find a method?”
“Of course, there’s a method!” the Xichi Spiritual Master said confidently.
“What is it?”
The Xichi Spiritual Master said earnestly, “You just need to eat a lot of instant noodles. One bowl of instant noodles each day, and it is better with a sausage.”
Shui Xianyun was stunned. “Eat what?!”
“Eat instant noodles!” Mo Xian explained for her master, “The instant noodles in Origins Internet Club is made of special secret ingredients and can purify our spiritual essence at great speed. It can also help you remove the impurities in your spiritual essence and increase its circulation. So, as long as you keep eating one bowl of instant noodles each day, the impurities in your spiritual essence will be removed eventually.”
Shui Xianyun was dumbfounded.
