Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 244: The Cave in the Pot (Two in One)

Liyue Harbor, near Yujing Terrace.

As Li Qiuzhi and his companions approached, they naturally attracted the attention of Grandma Ping and the others.

"Is there anything you can do for me?" The little girl with two big bells on her head asked Li Qiuzhi and the others.

"Hey, hello, my name is Paimeng, they are Ying and Li Qiuzhi, we are here to look for Grandma Ping."

Paimon waved to several people and greeted them in a friendly manner.

"Hello, I'm Yan Fei,"

The girl, wearing a slightly bent mitre, crossed her arms under her chest and asked with some confusion. Her top was short and only covered her chest, revealing her snow-white belly.

The pants were a pair of shorts with a red front, and underneath them extended a pair of ruddy-skinned legs.

"I'm Yaoyao!"

The little girl with two big bells on her head also answered with a smile, and then asked, "What do you want to see grandma for?"

"We are here to borrow the Dust-Cleansing Bell on behalf of a man named Zhongli. He said he is a friend of Grandma Ping and that he would need the Dust-Cleansing Bell for the "Sending Immortals Ceremony."

Paimon explained.

"Zhongli?" Yan Fei and Yao Yao had no impression of him, so they turned around and looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, do you know him?"

"Haha, of course I know him."

Grandma Ping lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then seemed to realize something and answered in a kind tone.

"Hey, then can you lend us the 'Dust-Purifying Bell'?" Paimeng looked at Grandma Ping with anticipation in his eyes.

"I actually got the Dust-Cleansing Bell from an old friend. I promised him that I would not be reluctant to part with it if someone wanted to borrow it in the future. But after so many years, I don't know where I put it. I'm old now and I can't remember clearly."

Grandma Ping sighed and said.

"Grandma, do you need Yaoyao to help you find it?" Yaoyao, the little girl with a bun, put her hands on her hips and asked with concern like a little adult.

"Yaoyao, you girl, maybe you won't be able to find it and just go out to play by yourself. It would be bad to delay the ceremony of sending the immortal away." Grandma Ping said with her hands behind her back, shaking her head.

"How about this?" She looked at Li Qiuzhi and the others, pointing at the teapot on the table, "All my belongings are in there, let Yan Fei take you in to look for them."

"Okay, leave it to me, grandma. I will definitely help you find that bell."

Yan Fei opened her palms, pressed the soft skin on her waist, and assured confidently.

"Wait!" Paimon was confused as he listened to the conversation between the two. "Are you saying that the thing is in this teapot and want us to go in and look for it? No matter how hard we try, we can't get in!"

Except for Li Qiuzhi who knew the specific situation, Ying and Paimeng all felt that Grandma Ping was joking.

"Haha, you will know if you try it."

As soon as Grandma Ping finished speaking, Li Qiuzhi suddenly saw the space change instantly, and the next moment they appeared in an environment with a slightly dim sky.

The land under your feet is floating in the air.

Looking forward, there is a curved bridge of light extending towards another land floating in the air above.

"Where is this place?" His fluorescent amber pupils dilated slightly, obviously showing some surprise.

"Hehe, this is grandma's paradise in the pot. Is this your first time seeing this? It's magical, isn't it?"

Yan Fei crossed her arms and said with a smile on her face.

"Dongtian?!" Paimeng covered his mouth in surprise, "Isn't this kind of thing only possessed by immortals? Could it be that Grandma Ping..."

"You guessed right. Grandma is also known as 'Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun'. Come with me, I will take you to look for the bell."

Yan Fei walked towards the light bridge in short boots and answered without hiding anything.

"We used to think that immortals could only be found in the mountains, but we didn't expect that there are some hidden in the city. It's really surprising!"

Paimeng spread his hands and flew to catch up with Yan Fei.

Li Qiuzhi and Ying looked at each other and could see surprise in each other's eyes. Of course, what surprised Li Qiuzhi was the scenery of the cave in the pot.

After all, he already knew about Grandma Ping's identity from the game plot.

However, this was the first time that Dongtian came here on solid ground.

"Ms. Yan Fei, I see that the two long horns under your hat don't look like decorations. Could it be that you are also an immortal?"

Li Qiuzhi and Ying also followed and started the conversation.

If you look closely, you can see a few white scales on the skin on Yan Fei's waist. I don't know which fairy beast her fairy blood comes from.

"Ah, you noticed that."

Yan Fei glanced at the young adventurer with surprise:
"I do have immortal blood, but only half of it. According to everyone's saying, it should be called mixed blood."

"I see. So Miss Yan Fei is a more outstanding being that combines the advantages of both immortals and humans. How enviable."

Li Qiuzhi praised it naturally.

"Haha, you're right."

Yan Fei's immortal blood gave her the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and she could sense that these people all had good intentions.

Therefore, under Li Qiuzhi's praise, he couldn't help but feel a little fond of them.

[Yanfei has a good impression of you and gains 160 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv. 2 (60/200)]

They chatted for a while and got to know each other.

Li Qiuzhi and his friends learned that Yan Fei was a legal consultant. Yan Fei also knew that they were adventurers and were helping Wangsheng Hall prepare for the "Ceremony of Sending Off the Immortals".

It was at this time that everyone walked across the light bridge and arrived at another floating island.

There is nothing here except two trees, let alone the "Dust-Clearing Bell".

On the right hand side of the crowd, there was a light bridge just like the one before, connecting to a higher floating island.

"Looks like we have to keep going up." Ying hugged his arms as if he was a little tired and shook his head gently.

"In fact, I rarely come to my grandmother's cave, and it will take me some time to find the 'Dust Cleansing Bell'."

Yan Fei didn't have any better solution, so she could only lead everyone to continue walking.

"Well, I don't know if it's because the light here is a little dim, plus it's afternoon time, but I feel a little tired and want to sleep."

Paimon yawned and seemed to be floating in the air weakly.

But just when they relaxed their vigilance and thought that nothing could go over the light bridge, they were surrounded by strange things that looked like black air without realizing it.

"Ouch, what are these things!"

Paimeng quickly shrank behind Ying. It was also the first time that Li Qiuzhi saw such a strange thing.

He instinctively activated the "Dandelion Shield" and sacrificed a little bit of strength to expand it to include everyone present to avoid sneak attacks.

"These seem to be the 'karma' of demons. It seems that grandma hasn't taken care of the cave in the pot for a long time, and these things actually appeared!"

Yan Fei frowned, and half of the dark red magic book appeared beside her, which meant she was ready for battle.

"What is 'karma'? Is it a kind of demon? How come it appeared in Grandma Ping's cave in the pot?"

Paimon looked very confused. "'Karma' is not a demon, it's like the resentment left behind by a demon after its death.

"If you are possessed by 'karmic obstacles', your spirit and mind will be tormented until you become a part of them, so don't let them possess you.

"As for why they are here, it's probably because grandma sealed some demons and monsters in the cave in the pot. Over time, their resentment gave rise to 'karma'."

Yan Fei explained it in detail.

As she spoke, those "karmas" clung to Li Qiuzhi's wind element shield like black smoke, and the swirling hurricane did not throw them away.

It's like mud stuck on the wall, which can't be wiped off no matter how hard you try.

"What should I do? Will they infiltrate?" Paimon was a little anxious and scared.

"Don't worry, my elemental shield is still very strong. It won't break down for a while. It's just that it's difficult for us to move in this state."

Li Qiuzhi maintained the shield and did not feel any effort.

“So how do you clean them?”

Ying did not attack directly with elemental power because those "karmas" were attached to the wind element shield, and she was afraid of interfering with the shield when attacking.

If it breaks accidentally, it will be troublesome.

"'Karma' is very difficult to clear. I heard that the 'Great Saint who conquers demons' has always been troubled by a lot of 'karma'.

"But that's when the invading souls have already attached themselves to our bodies. Now it's still easy to deal with. Just attack them with elemental power."

Yan Fei grew up in an immortal family, so she was naturally very familiar with this knowledge.

But how to attack them is a bit difficult for everyone. It’s okay as long as they are not "stuck" on the wind element shield. They can mobilize elemental force outside the shield to launch attacks.

Now it is the elemental shield that protects them and also restricts them.

Li Qiuzhi thought for a moment, looked at Yan Fei and asked, "What is the effect of mental attack on 'karma'?"

"'Karma' mainly attacks people's spirit and soul. Correspondingly, they are most afraid of this kind of attack, so you can give it a try!"

Yan Fei placed her finger on her chin and lightly touched it to show her affirmation.

"In that case, let me clean them up." Hearing Yan Fei's words, Li Qiuzhi said with a smile.

The only means he has now to cause mental attacks is his specialty "Mental Tentacles". "Fluorescent Sword Intent" is still a physical attack for the time being, and the incidental mental effect is only to cause memories.

It is impossible to cause effective damage to "karma".

But it was not a big problem. He now had about 10,000 experience points, so he just needed to upgrade the newly learned "Concentration Technique" by a few levels.

When the mental power becomes stronger, the "mental tentacles" should be able to clear away the "karma". I wonder how effective this method of training mental power is?

With some expectations, Li Qiuzhi invested his experience points into the "Mind Concentration Technique".

Experience point-9999
凝神术Lv.1（1/1000）→凝神术Lv.5（0/5000）

The experience points in the character panel instantly dropped to only 72 points, and the skill level was also raised to level five.

In addition to relevant skills and knowledge, Li Qiuzhi's mental strength is also improving slowly and steadily, as if it has been trained for a long time.

After five or six seconds, Li Qiuzhi felt the mental strength information fed back by his body.

If the mental power before the enhancement is likened to thick fog, then it is now about five times denser than before.

To look at the changes in the "spiritual tentacles" more intuitively, Li Qiuzhi can now summon tentacles at will within a radius of fifty meters centered on himself.

And after the mental power becomes stronger.

The tentacles condensed from mental power seemed to have more substance and became translucent. They could be seen directly by the naked eye. This should be due to the increase in mental power.

As a result, the strength of the tentacles has also increased a lot, to about fifty kilograms.

Of course, if you want to remain invisible, that is also possible, just reduce the output of mental power, and the power of the "mental tentacles" will decrease accordingly.

A force of fifty kilograms is actually still within the range of ordinary people, and I don’t know whether it will be effective for “karma”.

Li Qiuzhi let out a breath and gently patted his brown short-sleeved shirt.

In the cave in the pot, on the dark and windless floating island, he raised his hand slightly and made a gesture to launch an attack.

In an instant, in the space a few meters away, more than a dozen translucent and smooth tentacles with a diameter of ten centimeters spread out and rolled towards the "black gas" attached to the wind element shield.

They have no wisdom, so they can't hide.

As a spiritual power, “karma” was easily grabbed one by one by the translucent tentacles.

The "Karmas" tried to struggle, but their strength was unexpectedly small.

Li Qiuzhi grabbed them in his tentacles, and it felt like pinching the scruff of a kitten's neck. The effect of resistance would only let Li Qiuzhi know that you were resisting.

But it turns out nothing works.

"Hey, is this a technique for releasing your mental power? I didn't expect you to have such a powerful move."

Yan Fei looked at how Li Qiuzhi easily trapped the "karma" with strange translucent tentacles like wrapping dumplings, and she was a little surprised.

The mainstream force in Teyvat is still elemental force, which can generally affect monsters in spiritual form and without substance.

Therefore, there are very few people who specialize in the study of mental power.

If others want to achieve the level of releasing their mental power, it is probably only possible if their own mental power is strong enough to release it naturally.

This requires at least six breakthroughs, or regular training of mental strength!

Could it be that this seemingly ordinary adventurer actually has the ability to achieve six breakthroughs? !
"It's just my special talent." Li Qiuzhi smiled, "Now those 'karma' are bound, but I don't seem to have any way to deal with them."

After he confirmed that there was no potential danger, he removed the elemental shield to avoid consuming too much energy by maintaining two skills.

However, the "spiritual tentacles" with a strength of only 50 kilograms seem unable to crush them. If you attack with elemental force, your own "spiritual tentacles" will be attacked first.

If you loosen up a bit, they might run away.

"Hmm, let me think about it." Yan Fei was a little troubled for a moment. It was worthy of being the "karma" that even immortals were afraid of, and it was troublesome to clean up.

"Idiot, your arrows can travel through space, right? You can just go straight through those mental tentacles and attack them."

Paimeng complained to Li Qiuzhi.

"Oh? It seems that it can work, but it has to be killed with one strike."

Li Qiuzhi nodded, took out the Adventurer's Hunting Bow and aimed at the "karma" in mid-air. They were blended together by the translucent tentacles like a ball of black ink.

The fire element in the evil eye continuously attached to the tip of the arrow, and its concentration was unprecedented.

It accounts for about one-third of the total fire element in the evil eye.

Not long after, Li Qiuzhi loosened the bowstring, and the fire element arrow sank into the space in front of him and disappeared. The next moment, it directly appeared on a dark "karma" inside the translucent tentacle.

"boom!"

The flames exploded, and Li Qiuzhi felt a roar in his head and a little dizzy. This was the backlash caused by the damage to the translucent tentacles, that is, his mental power.

At the same time, a prompt popped up on the character panel:
