All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 13 Return to reality
As he walked, Ji Ran looked at the inventory, where there was a source of Qi (spirit) for the main quest and the Qi (spirit) given by Li Jing in the side quest.

It's time to open.

Source Qi (Spirit) is an item obtained within the scope of Journey to the West, and Qi (Spirit) based on its source is most likely the item obtained from Li Jing.

But at this moment, Ji Ran was unsure because he was not in a very lucky state.

He took a deep breath and first opened up his Qi (spirit).

[Qi (spirit) opening...]

[Obtain: Pre-Qin Ancient Jade, Calming Bead (Rare Treasure), Skill: Cutting Hand]

Ji Ran's face was not looking good. The spiritual tool-level Qi only produced one rare treasure item.

【Pre-Qin Ancient Jade】

Introduction: This jade has a long history and comes from the royal family of Ying.

The warm jade is obviously valuable at first glance, but unfortunately it is not just a prop.

【Soul-Calming Pearl】(Rare Treasure)

Skill: Calming the Mind (Passive): Increases energy recovery by 5%
Skill: Concentrate (Active): Increases concentration by 50% and improves the ability of the five senses to capture. (During this period, energy decreases by 2% per second)

not bad.

After looking at the properties of the Tranquilizing Pearl, Ji Ran felt somewhat more at ease. It was an item with no cooldown.

[Skill: Hand-Cut (Passive)]

Description: A high-ranking officer in the Tang Dynasty army learned the art of using force from boxing. When switching between skills, weapons, or other attack methods, they gain a 5-second "Leverage Momentum" state, increasing their attack by 50% and decreasing by 10% per second.

Ji Ran thought about it for a moment. The strength of this passive skill actually depends entirely on his own level, whether he can grasp the few seconds of cutting hands, or even the first two seconds.

Ji Ran took one step and opened the most precious source of Qi from the Journey to the West!

[Source Qi (Spirit) opening...]

[Obtain: Purple Copper Pill (Spirit)]

【Purple Copper Pill (Spirit)】

Effect: Swallow 0.01% to gain Diamond Indestructibility, 1% to gain permanent Copper Skin status, 10% Iron Bone Skills, 30% Copper Skin Skills, 58.99% to permanently deduct 20% of upper limit HP and 20% of defense.

Source: Journey to the West World

Note: The ordinary pills refined by Taoist Qingfeng have not yet completely eliminated the poison and are of inferior quality.

Magic pill?!
Ji Ran's eyes narrowed. He had a chance of gaining four different skills, but the one in ten thousand chance of becoming indestructible was basically irrelevant. Gaining any skill would be a step up for him. The only thing he had to worry about was the 50% chance of losing health and defense.

To eat or not?
Ji Ran pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision.

His heart stirred, and a round, purple-red pill appeared in his palm. The pill was surrounded by a rich purple aura and exuded an intoxicating medicinal fragrance.

Ji Ran tilted his head back and swallowed it, feeling a warm current with a taste of rust flowing into his limbs and bones instantly.

It would be too cautious not to take a gamble with a success rate close to 50%. Besides, the HP and defense deducted can be replenished by continuous improvement later.

【Purple Copper Pill Takes Effect】

[Obtain: Iron...]

【Talent: Three Evil Beasts Triggered!】

[The angry beast ate the skill Iron Bone]

[Angry Beast (Passive): Unyielding, brave enough to face death. (1. For every 1% drop in HP, attack damage increases by 2% and defense by 3%. 2. For every 50% drop in HP, the effect doubles.)
Ji Ran was stunned. Iron Bone was eaten, but in return, his defense was increased? I wonder if that was a loss...

Ji Ran shook his head and had to accept this reality.

At this moment, Ji Ran also walked near the building.

Near that building, you can see some people turning into mist as soon as they enter.

What the hell is this place?

[Do you use the Earth God Temple? ]

"Ok?"

[Enter the Earth Temple's range and offer 1 point of spiritual essence per minute]

[Current Identity: Agent, Authority: Breathing, Casting, Martial Arts, Offering, Forgotten River.] Is this the Earth God Temple?
Ji Ran thought about it and didn't use it.

I still have my worries. I entered this world while pursuing a criminal, and now I don't know what reality is like.

It’s better to go back and take a look first, and then explore this place with peace of mind.

So Ji Ran immediately said: "Return."

There was a faint golden mist at his earlobe, and the sound of cicadas was rippling.

【Please set the return location】

The next moment, a familiar feeling of weightlessness and drowsiness forced Ji Ran to close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Ji Ran saw the familiar display of his bedroom.

[All active skills have expired]

Passive Skill Exists

[All equipment except basic values ​​have been invalidated]

[Do not disclose any information about the reincarnation world to ordinary people. Violators will be randomly deprived of one of their talents, specializations, or skills.]

Ji Ran looked at himself.

All the weapons were left with only numerical values, except for accessories and magic weapons. They could still be used, but he could feel a strong sense of squeezing, and even if they could be used, they would consume a lot of spiritual energy.

"Drip-drip-"

Suddenly, the cell phone next to me rang.

Ji Ran touched his phone and was slightly stunned.

There were more than a dozen missed calls shown on the phone, and only six or seven hours had passed.

"Hey?"

"Ji Ran, where are you?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.

"A large number of bronze artifacts were destroyed at the Shancheng Museum, and the patrol team couldn't find the person. Where did you track him down? Is he okay?"

"Uncle Wang, I lost him last night too."

"Why don't you answer the phone?"

"I lost my phone and just found it."

The caller was Captain Wang from the General Administration, an old colleague of his parents. During the call, Ji Ran learned about what happened last night: most of the bronze artifacts in the Mountain City Museum were damaged and a tripod was stolen.

However, I'm afraid they will never find the murderer.

After explaining it carefully, Ji Ran hung up the phone.

At this moment, he stretched himself and then lay down to rest.

When he woke up, sunlight was already streaming through the gauze curtains into every corner of the room. Everything he had experienced seemed like a dream, thrilling and unreal.

When he saw the Leopard Demon's Hatred placed on the table, Ji Ran became slightly dazed and realized that everything he had experienced was real.

Rubbing his eyes, Ji Ran stood up and planned to take a shower. But as soon as he took off his shirt, he froze.

In the mirror, my original body muscles have grown a circle, but because they are tighter and smoother, they don't look much bigger. This muscle mass is not mine!

Could it be... Ji Ran thought of his previous identity, and his body seemed to be evolving towards the physical strength of the monk!

If I remember correctly, the monk's identity was marked as "allowed to be taken out!" Ji Ran couldn't quite figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. That world had too many secrets. Besides, becoming stronger was a good thing.

The monks who followed Tang Sanzang, besides chanting scriptures daily, had also practiced martial arts since childhood, and had spent decades cultivating their physiques, giving them an excellent foundation. Compared to himself, who had buried himself in piles of books for over a decade and only began practicing martial arts after being admitted to the military academy, the difference was truly worlds.

It's just that... Ji Ran stretched his body slightly and could vaguely feel that his strength had increased suddenly, which he wasn't familiar with yet. However, this could be adapted through practice, and the overall change was definitely a good thing.

After washing up, Ji Ran went straight out to the headquarters.

He plans to take a leave.
