Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 3 Demonic Writings

"Huh!" Fu Haoyu next to him frowned, looked at the rubble on the ground, sighed and said, "It turns out that the stele is broken. This has happened several times." He thought he had encountered another high-grade spiritual root.

Seeing Qiu Ci still frozen in place, he thought she was frightened and explained, "Don't be nervous. This spirit-detecting stele is a relic from ancient times. It's normal for it to be broken after its age. This matter has nothing to do with you. I'll apply to the Immortal Alliance for a new spirit-detecting tool."

In fact, spirit-measuring stone tablets like this one are ancient artifacts and should have been eliminated hundreds of years ago. Only remote towns like Yanlin City still use them, while other places have long used spirit-measuring rulers.

"Judging from what happened just now, I believe you also have spiritual roots. Here is your proof." He took out a white jade token and handed it to her. Seeing that she didn't take it for a long time, he added, "Take it! As for your bloodline, it will be the same if you awaken it during the Immortal Sect's election."

Qiu Ci finally took it, still a little dazed, his entire attention focused on the prompt tone that suddenly rang in his mind.

system? ! ! !
Is this the system she thought it was? Her essential cheat code for traveling through time is finally arriving!

Qiu Ci resisted the urge to cheer, took the jade token dazedly, and shouted frantically in his mind.

"system?!"

"Are you there? What's going on?"

"If you're here, make a sound!"

"Hey?"

"hello?"

But no matter how she called out, there was no response in her mind, as if the voice just now was just her illusion.

what's the situation?
The system is stuck?
What about the successful binding?

"That's great, Sister Xiao Ci!" Feng Ting, who was standing beside her, came over with a cheerful look on her face. As usual, she took her hand and said excitedly, "We both have spiritual roots, so we can go to the Immortal Gate together."

"Hehe..." Qiu Ci really couldn't laugh. He was extremely anxious inside, but there was still no response in his mind.

The bloodline awakening had concluded, and the people in the hall gradually left, some happy, some worried. Feng Ting was the happiest one. She pulled Qiu Ci out of the room and happily told the Niuma Village Chief, who was waiting outside, about their spiritual roots.

The village chief was naturally delighted. After all, this meant that the village was going to have two quasi-immortal masters. Seeing that it was almost noon, he happily decided to take a group of village children to have lunch before going back.

Qiu Ci's mind was full of things about the system. He was dragged to the street by Feng Ting in a daze. It was not until he was bumped into three times by people next to him that he realized that there seemed to be suddenly more people in the city.

Qingniu Village is not rich, so the village chief naturally cannot take a group of children to a restaurant, so they went to a roadside porridge stall. However, even such a small porridge stall was almost full at this time.

The streets were full of people, all gathered in the direction of the city center, talking about something.

"Is this...something big happening in the city?" asked the village chief Niuma, who also noticed something was wrong.

The porridge stall owner handed them the porridge and replied, "Yes, it is a big deal! I heard that there was an evil cultivator in our city. It took four immortal masters from the Qingling Sect to catch him. Today they are going to execute him in public!"

"What is an evil cultivator?!" The village chief was stunned. It was rare to see a person with spiritual roots in the village every hundred years, and evil cultivators were even more far away from them.

"It seems like they've repaired a forbidden book, something from the ancient demon clan." The porridge stall owner said mysteriously, "What good could the demon clan use? They're just evil cultivators, aren't they?"

"Demon Clan?" Qiu Ci, who had been unable to summon the system for a long time, felt a pang in his heart and couldn't help but look up. Could it be that this world not only had immortal cultivators, but also demon cultivators? "You haven't heard of them, have you?" The porridge stall owner, noticing their curiosity, immediately opened up and continued, "I've also heard from immortal masters that the Demon Clan was a group of demons that appeared ten thousand years ago. Back then, they wreaked havoc on the continent, devastating countless lives. I also heard that they were the ones who caused the Undertide."

"So the undercurrent came from here. Didn't the border town just suffer a disaster?" the village chief said in shock.

"you do not say!"

Anchao Qiuci had also heard of it. It seemed that it was a common disaster in this world, just like floods and mudslides. She was also considered a refugee at the beginning.

"What happened next?" She couldn't help but continue asking. Since it happened ten thousand years ago, what is the situation now?

"Later... I heard that the demons disappeared overnight just like they appeared at the beginning, and we finally had a good life. But those harmful objects they created are still there, and now they have all become taboos, and most of them have been sealed away by the immortal sects. Once someone tries to practice these things, no matter which immortal sect they are from, they will take action to severely punish them. I'm afraid that the demons will suddenly appear again." The porridge stall owner shuddered.

So that's how it is. Qiu Ci sipped his porridge while listening. This seemed a little different from the villain demons he had in mind. They were not driven away by the immortal sect, but disappeared on their own.

"Oh right." The porridge stall owner suddenly thought of something and pointed to the wall next to him. "The city lord sent a piece of paper to all the shops in the city yesterday, saying that this is the magic symbol drawn on the cover of the forbidden book practiced by the evil cultivator. If anyone sees anything similar, they must report it to the Immortal Sect immediately."

Qiu Ci looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there was a piece of paper stuck on the wall, with eight eye-catching characters written on it in awkward strokes.

Three Years of Golden Elixir, Five Years of Simulation

Phew~~~~
Qiu Ci suddenly spat out a mouthful of white porridge!

What the hell? !
!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

------

Something is wrong. Qiu Ci feels that there is something extremely wrong with this world!

Not to mention the system that suddenly appeared in her mind and had no response at all.

Just with a title like "Three Years of Golden Elixir, Five Years of Simulation," does this world of cultivation really exist? Isn't this something that only exists for the college entrance exam?!

"What is written here?" the village chief also looked over and asked.

"Who knows?" The porridge shop owner shook his head. "These are all ancient magic words. We peasants can't understand them."

Magic text? ! !

When did Chinese become demonic? Then what was she, a demon?
and many more!

They don't recognize this kind of writing, and don't even know that it is a word!

Qiu Ci had been staying in the village and hadn't noticed it before, but now he looked around, especially at places with words like plaques, and found that the characters used here, although somewhat similar to Chinese, were obviously a different system.

It is normal that the text is different in a different world.

But why is Chinese language here?! And everyone treats it as a taboo, even those who have read Chinese books are considered evil cultivators.
