Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 441: Lady Rat
"Is this the Great Sun Essence?"
Lin Qianxing looked at the hot liquid with golden light in the small porcelain bottle with a strange expression.
This was something he bought from the sect's workshop at a considerable cost.
It itself is the highly condensed essence of the sun.
This thing has extremely high temperature and can melt everything, especially weird things. It can eliminate weird existences and can only be stored in special containers.
When the disciples of the Yunlong Sect go out on missions to eliminate strange creatures, most of them will carry one or two drops with them to use when the time comes to eliminate strange creatures.
"I don't know if it can be completely eliminated. If it can, then what I have accomplished will have a place to go." Lin Qianxing murmured.
Of course, destroying the monster is a matter for later. Lin Qianxing bought the essence of the sun at the moment in order to use it to cut the crystals of pain.
With a thought in mind, Lin Qianxing tried to use his spirit to scoop up the essence of the sun in the porcelain bottle.
As soon as his spirit came into contact with the essence of the sun, it began to be melted by it.
Fortunately, the melting speed is not fast and Lin Qianxing can withstand it.
Under Lin Qianxing's manipulation, his spirit transformed the essence of the sun into a golden thread that was so thin that it was almost invisible.
Then Lin Qianxing took out the crystal of pain and used the golden thread to cut one of its corners.
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the golden thread easily cut into it. Soon, Lin Qianxing had cut off a few particles from the indestructible crystal of pain.
Lin Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief and poured the remaining little bit of Great Sun Essence back into the porcelain bottle and sealed it with a special lid to prevent evaporation.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing took the crystal of pain, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it directly into his mouth.
After the crystal of pain entered his stomach, Lin Qianxing began to practice the mental method of the divine body in "The Art of Body Refining". After a while, he felt a little bit of strange power emanating from the crystal of pain and spreading throughout his body.
After completely digesting it, Lin Qianxing opened his eyes, with a flash of blood red in them.
Lin Qianxing stretched out his index finger, and there was a little bright red light flashing at the tip of his finger.
That was the power of pain that he controlled.
He now possesses a part of the rules of pain, and can actively transform the power of pain that contains some power of rules through his body.
This kind of rule power needs to be transformed by absorbing the suffering of all living beings.
It has many effects. It can be used to alienate all things and turn them into strange creatures with some rules of pain, or it can be used directly to strengthen the body to attack the enemy, etc.
It mainly depends on how to develop it.
While mastering this rule, Lin Qianxing also had an additional curse on him.
A curse that would cause him to exist in pain forever.
Only those who suffer can master suffering.
Power in this world is often like this; you must pay a sufficient price to gain it.
However, the "Body Refining Art" on Lin Qianxing's body offset the pain in his physical body. The pain he could feel now was only mental.
As for the mental pain, Lin Qianxing's mental attributes were strong enough , so it was almost non-existent.
The mental pain that the pain crystals he absorbed now could bring him was at most a little bit of noise in his skull, and Lin Qianxing could actively block it.
As a result, Lin Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief.
If the side effects were too obvious, he might consider whether to continue swallowing the pain crystals.
As long as you can resist this side effect, then there's no problem.
After two days of practice, Lin Qianxing took the initiative to propose going down the mountain to gain experience.
"Since you think that ascetic practice is not good, then go down the mountain to practice." Yu Si said.
He did not stop Lin Qianxing's request.
There are also true disciples of the Yunlong Sect who like to practice in the secular world.
Having more experience is beneficial in many ways.
So Lin Qianxing came out of the True Transmission Hall and went to the Foreign Affairs Hall.
The Foreign Affairs Hall is the place that specifically manages matters outside the mountain.
The elder here was none other than Lin Qianxing ’s old acquaintance, Elder Zou Dan.
After Zou Dan saw Lin Qianxing, his eyes fell on the badge of Lin Qianxing's true teachings, and there was still disbelief in his heart.
No matter how hard he thought about it, he could never have imagined that Lin Qianxing could become a true disciple in such a short time.
"Lin Zhenchuan, what is your purpose in coming here?" Zou Dan asked Lin Qianxing politely.
The status of a true disciple is equivalent to that of a candidate for a supreme elder. Although his status is equal to that of the elders, in reality he is still one level higher.
"Elder Zou, you are too polite. I have been in the mountains for some time. This time I want to go down the mountain to gain some experience, so I came to the Foreign Affairs Hall to find two foreign affairs tasks to do." Lin Qianxing explained.
Zou Dan nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand."
Immediately, Zou Dan found several files for Lin Qianxing and asked Lin Qianxing to choose.
After reading it, Lin Qianxing frowned and said, "Elder Zou, what does this mean? Sending a letter to the governor of Yanxia County? Visiting Zifeng Zhenren at Zifeng Temple? Collecting rent from Pukou County... I am going down the mountain to gain experience, so I am afraid these foreign affairs tasks are not appropriate, right?"
"Lin Zhenchuan, what do you mean?" Zou Dan asked.
"Are there any strange beasts? Or places where strange things are causing trouble? The more dangerous the better." Lin Qianxing said.
"This..." Zou Dan was stunned.
"No?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Of course." Zou Dan nodded, then took out another file and gave it to Lin Qianxing.
After taking a look, Lin Qianxing expressed his gratitude to Zou Dan and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, an inner disciple caught up with Lin Qianxing with a wooden box.
"Lin Zhenchuan, Elder Zou said that this was something you originally stored with him, and now it has been returned to its original owner." said the inner sect disciple.
Lin Qianxing took a glance and knew that the gold inside was the one he had given to Zou Dan. However, Zou Dan saw that his status had risen and was afraid that he would use this matter to make trouble for him in the future, so he returned it, and even put some extra things inside.
However, Lin Qianxing did not care about these mundane things. He waved his hand and said, "No need. Tell Elder Zou that I gave these things to him."
After saying that, Lin Qianxing leaped forward and disappeared on the mountain path.
…
Yincui Mountain, Zhuxi County.
This place is more than 200 miles away from Yunlong Sect.
Not long ago, there was a large-scale rat plague here, which killed and injured many people and destroyed many crops in the fields. Even the county magistrate was devoured by the rats, leaving only a pile of bones.
This incident was originally just a simple natural disaster, but behind it was a lewd temple involved.
In that temple, there is a statue of an evil god called "Rat Goddess".
It is said that this disaster was caused by the fact that the newly appointed county magistrate wanted to demolish the temple.
However, there seem to be some problems within Fuyao country right now, and the ability to control the local areas is limited, so that the official is temporarily unable to handle this matter, and ultimately the people have to turn to the Yunlong Sect for help.
The Yunlong Sect has always been very enthusiastic about these things.
Firstly, it is profitable, and secondly, it is for fame.
When Lin Qianxing arrived at the county town, it still seemed a little deserted. There were signs of being gnawed on the buildings everywhere, and most of the passers-by had sad expressions on their faces.
After thinking about it, Lin Qianxing did not inform the local administrator, but went directly to the temple of the Rat Goddess.
Soon, Lin Qianxing saw the temple on the top of the city.
Compared to other buildings around it that are somewhat dilapidated by rats, this building is much more unique.
Because it was surprisingly intact.
Moreover, Lin Qianxing can still see many believers worshiping and praying in front of the temple, and the incense is extremely strong.
Because there were quite a lot of people present, Lin Qianxing just took a look from a distance and then left.
He plans to come back in the evening.
I'll investigate the specific situation carefully at that time.
Soon, it was night time.
Lin Qianxing came to the temple again.
Without disturbing the sleeping temple keeper, Lin Qianxing lightly climbed over the city wall and entered the main hall where the Rat Goddess was worshipped.
Then Lin Qianxing saw a statue of a god wearing a red skirt and with a rat head and a human body.
The red dress looked like a new dress worn for a wedding, and the rat-headed creature's eyes were filled with a strange anticipation, as if it was a bride waiting to get married.
There is no doubt that this should be the so-called Rat Queen.
Lin Qianxing's mind moved, and his spirit directly covered the statue.
After spiritual detection, Lin Qianxing did not feel anything strange, as if this was just an ordinary statue?
Lin Qianxing was a little confused and wondered whether he should just smash it.
But he was also worried that another large-scale rat plague would break out at that time.
Lin Qianxing himself was not afraid, but he was worried that it would be inappropriate if it affected the common people.
“Chichichichi~!”
Suddenly, Lin Qianxing heard a few rat calls.
He looked over and saw a few little mice looking at him curiously.
For some reason, Lin Qianxing saw some humanity in their eyes.
“Chichichichi~!”
Suddenly, accompanied by a few hurried calls, they turned around and ran into a rat hole not far away.
Lin Qianxing moved, his spirit probed into the ground, and quickly tracked the rats.
Soon, Lin Qianxing arrived outside the county town.
The rats were still crawling underground, and Lin Qianxing was suspended in the air, following them quietly.
Not long after, a cave appeared in front of Lin Qianxing.
Without going in, Lin Qianxing's keen hearing could hear the countless sounds of rats inside.
Lin Qianxing was a skilled and courageous man, so he was not afraid and walked straight in.
After entering, the sound of chirping was endless, which reminded Lin Qianxing of his experience in the Ten Thousand Bat Cave.
From time to time, some mice wanted to approach Lin Qianxing, but they were blocked by the spiritual power covering his body.
Gradually, no more mice came forward, they just looked at Lin Qianxing quietly.
As we walked into the cave, the space became increasingly empty.
Spots of blood-red light shone through the cracks above the cave; that was the moonlight of the blood moon.
Soon, Lin Qianxing arrived at the bottom of the cave.
The decoration here is like a woman's boudoir, with all the necessary items such as tables, beds, and stools. However, they are all made of stone, and from the appearance, they seem to have been bitten out by mice's teeth.
Next to the bed was a dressing table. Through the light of the blood moon, Lin Qianxing could see a woman in a red dress with her back to him, dressing herself in front of a bronze mirror.
A mouse as thick as half an adult's arm handed over a bone comb, which the woman in the red dress took and gently combed her black and smooth hair.
Lin Qianxing's gaze fell on the bronze mirror in front of her, and what was reflected in it was a huge rat head.
