The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 469 The Secret to Sealing

Upon hearing the sound, Ginseng Fruit froze, looking at the lynx not far away in disbelief.

"Are you talking to me?"

The lynx nodded: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have woken up so quickly. Forming a bond with you was my way of thanking you, but it failed."

Ginseng Fruit was speechless. He had a system, and this body was fake. What kind of contract was he supposed to form?

But the mountain spirit possessing the lynx was unaware of this.

The ginseng fruit's body has been tempered by heavenly lightning, so any creature that fears heavenly lightning cannot see through its true form.

Seeing the lynx's puzzled look, Ginseng Fruit quickly waved its hand in refusal.

He himself was bound to the host by a twist of fate; he was the host's accessory.

Now that he's one of those charms, he's been bound to another charm, so it's like a nesting doll.

"Forget about the thanks. We didn't save you for any reason. We just did it as a favor."

The lynx clearly hadn't expected that anyone would be willing to give up the benefits they had right in front of them.

However, looking at the small size of the ginseng fruit, I thought he didn't understand the benefits of forming a bond with it.

[Once you form a pact with me, all living beings in this mountain forest will bow down to you, and this place can even become your sacred ground.]

If it were anyone else, they would absolutely be unable to resist such enormous benefits and temptations.

Although this place is now tainted by deathly and evil energy, it still contains many rare and precious natural treasures.

Once you form a pact with the mountain spirit, it's like having a living map. You can easily find those spiritual herbs that have become sentient and know how to hide.

But Ginseng Fruit shook its head firmly: "No need. Even if we don't form a pact, the creatures here will still bow down to me and my master."

Now it was the lynx possessed by the mountain spirit's turn to be dumbfounded. Since its birth, it had never heard such a rejection.

"Now that you're awake, I have something to ask you. What's the situation with the seal in the mountains?"

The lynx then looked around and realized it was very close to the seal.

When the seal malfunctioned, it used up its last bit of energy to resist the evil energy and fell into a deep sleep.

Now it has woken up, but it is still too weak; otherwise, it wouldn't have only just realized something was wrong in the mountains.

This seal existed before I gained consciousness. My mission is to protect everything here. As long as there is enough life force here, the seal will never be broken.

Upon hearing this, the ginseng fruit immediately understood the key to the seal and knew it had to quickly share this discovery with its host.

Upon receiving the information simultaneously, Yunran slapped her thigh in surprise.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. Life force is used as the source of this seal. As long as life force continues, the seal will not break."

If life is extinguished, it means this place has become a spiritless land, so whether the seal is broken or not is irrelevant.

Xuan Chu was also somewhat shocked, but he did not ask Yun Ran how she got these words out of the mountain spirit. People in the Xuanmen sect all have their own secret methods.

"It seems that as long as we clear away all the death and evil energy in these deep mountains and restore the forest to its original vitality, this evil god's clone will never be able to come out again."

Yunran nodded: "That's the theory, but the flowers, trees, and animals in this mountain have been severely harmed."

They all looked half-dead; restoring them to health and full of life again wouldn't be an easy task.

Xuan Chu immediately recalled the strange forest they had encountered before. Those trees could hardly be considered alive anymore. And there were many, many more such trees, and the soil and air here were severely polluted by evil and deathly energy.

Mo Zhi, who was huddled nearby like a quail, immediately flew over upon hearing this.

He pointed to himself: "Master, I... I can absorb most of the death energy here!"

Yun Ran then remembered that she had Mo Zhi, a helper who specialized in absorbing death energy, by her side.

Now that we have a direction, there's no need to wait here idly anymore.

"Fine, you're in charge of the death aura!"

As for the evil energy, Yun Ran waved her hand, and the little paper figures immediately flew over, each one eager to fight.

Once the roles were clearly defined, the little paper man and Mo Zhi immediately got to work.

Yunran and Xuanchu were not idle either; they split up and began to purify the evil energy here.

In the past, Mo Zhi was indeed a bit timid when facing danger, but now, absorbing the death energy that was useful for her cultivation was like a mouse falling into a rice jar.

The endless stream of death energy was sucked into Mo Zhi's body at the speed of a storm vortex.

Theoretically speaking, such a massive amount of death energy would burst even if Mo Zhi were a Ghost General.

But at this moment, Mo Zhi was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much death energy there was, it could not fill that hole.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, causing Xuan Chu and Yun Ran, who were evolving their evil energy, to turn their heads at the same time.

Mo Zhi, who had been sitting cross-legged and suspended in mid-air, looked as if shards of glass had shattered around her.

Visible to the naked eye, the patterns rippled in the deathly air.

Yunran's heart skipped a beat.

Before she could do anything, a completely new Mo Zhi appeared, as if she had been reborn.

Even more shockingly, a pair of devil horns, no bigger than a fingertip, suddenly appeared on Mo Zhi's head.

However, none of this affected Mo Zhi's speed of absorbing death energy; on the contrary, it seemed to be accelerating.

Xuan Chu turned to look at Yun Ran, only to see that Yun Ran also had her mouth wide open, looking dumbfounded.

"Just what is the background of this ghost general you've raised?"

Yunran looked over innocently: "Can I say that I don't actually know either?"
They just happened to capture her during a mission, but she didn't have much to do with, so they locked her up and used her as a slave when needed.

I later sent her back to the ghost realm, but she insisted on staying with me, so she stayed temporarily..."

As she was talking, Yun Ran suddenly remembered that when she went to capture Mo Zhi, she encountered Master Ling Buqu, whose identity had been confirmed to be that of an evil cultivator.

At this moment, the pair of demon horns on Mo Zhi's head had grown to the size of a fist.

Anyone with eyes can see something's wrong.

Yun Ran finally realized that she had probably, seemed to, or estimated that she had indeed snatched a remarkable guy from those evil cultivators.

"Well, I really am a model citizen, the kind who doesn't have a single bad thought, do you believe me?"
