I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 50 Recognizer Evolution: Modification
Chen Mo entered the inner courtyard, and his six senses underwent a transformation, enabling him to see and hear spirits and evil spirits. However, the others in the courtyard had not entered the inner courtyard and were separated by a courtyard wall, so they could neither see nor hear Li Hongxi.

Even so, Chen Mo still felt somewhat horrified when he heard Li Hongxi pleading for help from her mother.

Her mother was that wicked Granny Li.

A symbiotic entity of madness.

He had previously used paper figures to manipulate himself on two separate occasions.

This wicked woman is truly bizarre.

"We can't let her keep calling out, or something bad will happen!"

Without further hesitation, Chen Mo slashed his palm again, spilling blood onto the blade. The blood-and-fire-laden slash instantly aimed at Li Hongxi.

Li Hongxi, rolling away, couldn't dodge, but her blade missed, slicing through her opponent's body without obstruction. However... the blood and fire on the blade remained on Li Hongxi's body, instantly intensifying the flames.

"Mother, save me!!"

"Damn it, it's still yelling, come on!" Chen Mo was fighting a ghost for the first time, so how could he be careless? He immediately cut his palm again and continued to unleash blood and fire.

As streaks of blood-red flames descended upon Li Hongxi, the flames on her body grew ever larger. She struggled and screamed within the inferno, quickly becoming a human torch. Her screams and cries for help gradually faded, eventually dissipating into scattered, damp vapor carrying a strong, foul stench.

Chen Mo stood with his knife held horizontally, quietly watching Li Hongxi disappear, his cold eyes gradually calming down.

call!
Chen Mo took a deep breath. "Finally, he's dead."

My body and mind, which had been tense, slowly began to relax.

Although this battle wasn't exactly a life-or-death struggle, it was certainly not easy.

The main reason is that I have cultivated my own internal energy. With the surge of my internal energy, my opponent cannot get close and cannot hurt me.

Without internal energy as a foundation, one could be killed in minutes if the opponent grabbed them a few times.

Despite his victory, Chen Mo felt no joy whatsoever; instead, the image of Third Master Xie appeared in his mind.

Compared to Li Wenqing, an outsider, Xie Sanye had a much better understanding of evil spirits.

No wonder Master Xie's first thought after learning what had happened was to run away, rather than seek help from his relative Li Wenqing. Master Xie already knew that Li Wenqing was no match for an evil spirit like Li Hongxi.

It's just a pity...

Chen Mo tore off a piece of his sleeve and used it to bandage the wounds on his palm. Then, straining his eyes, he saw a square appear where Li Hongxi had disappeared.

Chen Mo suddenly remembered: when he accidentally entered the haunted place at the Li residence, he saw the essence of the original solution on Li Hongxi's body. It was three black rods.

At that time, Chen Mo was thinking: perhaps he had to kill Li Hongxi in order to obtain the essence of the original solution.

Unfortunately, I lacked the strength back then, and it was a miracle that I was able to escape with my life. Now, more than three months later, I've finally managed to do it.

Chen Mo put aside his distracting thoughts and focused his gaze on the square frame.

It's still three black bars.

However, there are three more lines of subtitles.

[100g of absorbable original essence detected]

[Tip: Absorbing the essence of the original solution can improve the recognition level]

【Absorbed? 】

After three months of effort, I can finally obtain the original essence!

This is really not easy.

Without a second thought, Chen Mo immediately made up his mind.

absorb!

hum!
A moment of dizziness passed, but my mind quickly cleared again. The panel in front of me had also changed.

[Original Solution Essence +100]

[Recognition level is being upgraded...]

【update successed! 】

[The recognition has been upgraded to reading; it's still 1000 more original solution essences away from the next level of deconstruction.]

[Note: Identification can only recognize superficial information, reading can read internal information, and deconstruction can deconstruct the factors that formed the object.]

[Bonus Reward: Gain modification capabilities. Consuming Original Solution Essence allows you to modify key elements and vulnerabilities revealed during the process. This includes your own character, cultivation techniques, items, and more.]

After reading all the information, Chen Mo felt delighted.

Chen Mo had anticipated the upgrade in recognition level. Now that it's upgraded, he can read more of the black bars and obtain more detailed information, which will bring him great convenience.

What surprised Chen Mo the most was the modification function. Consuming the essence of the original solution allowed him to modify cultivation techniques, items, and even himself?

This sounds pretty good, and Chen Mo is really looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, the original solution is required to enable the modification function.

Based on Chen Mo's past experience, as long as the evil spirit is killed, the original essence can be obtained.

Now that he has entered the inner circle, and is about to enter the Black Mountain Village to learn the skills of exorcising evil spirits, there will be plenty of opportunities to exorcise evil spirits.

Getting some of the original essence should be a piece of cake.

Don't rush this moment.

"Reading doesn't require the essence of the original solution. Let me first test how the reading efficiency compares to recognition."

Chen Mo stared at the square frame with the three black bars.

[A readable item has been detected.]

[Current number of reads: 2]

"Huh? There are already read attempts again. That's alright."

Chen Mo had an idea.

Read.

The next moment, lines of subtitles appeared.

【Name: White-Robed Demon】

[Type: Yin Water System]

[Abilities: Spirit possession, erosion by Yin water.]

[Introduction: After twenty years of cultivation, it evolved from a wandering spirit into a white-robed ghost through the accumulation of resentment. Its spirit cannot dissipate when exposed to light. At birth, it was tainted with a wisp of the ghostly aura of an infant spirit. It had lived in an ancient well for many years, unable to emerge. But because of your blood, it has come out.]

[Note: A wisp of the infant spirit's ghostly energy originates from its mother. The ghostly energy within the mother is immense, far surpassing that of this white-robed ghost!]

"As expected, the information is much more detailed and profound. It even explains the path of growth and the source of the ghostly energy within. It truly lives up to its upgraded cheat system."

"But that last sentence...it's unsettling."

Without a doubt, Granny Li is more difficult to deal with than Li Hongxi.

Furthermore, the author explicitly stated that Li Hongxi was able to escape from the ancient well because of his own blood.

But Granny Li hadn't kidnapped him the previous two times she had tried.

The only time was when Liu Mazi injured him, cutting him. At that time, Liu Mazi's soft sword was stained with his own blood.

Could it be that Granny Li could remotely draw her own blood by sticking the paper figure on Liu Mazi's back?

Does such an evil technique of drawing blood from a distance still exist in this world?
If that's the case, then Granny Li is far too strange.

Now that I've killed her daughter, I'm afraid Granny Li will be resentful and will seek revenge sooner or later.

You can't hide from it.

That wicked woman must die!

And that old man Li, he can't be kept either.

To cut the weeds, we need to get rid of the roots!
Chen Mo's eyes gradually turned cold and ruthless, and his relaxed hand slowly tightened, gripping the hilt of the knife tightly.

Although Old Master Li and Old Lady Li must die, we must not act impulsively...

Putting aside whether he could kill Granny Li, the more important thing was that he had a large family behind him. If he went to the Blood Ridge Black Market to find Granny Li now, and fell into Granny Li's trap of luring them away, the Chen family would be in danger.

Chen Mo doesn't like being treated like a fool and played with.

"Fortunately, Master Li will be coming to our residence tomorrow to discuss my studies at Black Mountain Village. Black Mountain Village is a secret branch of the Red Lantern Clan. If I can get in, the Chen family will be under Black Mountain Village's protection. At that time, no matter how fierce Granny Li is, she won't dare to come to our door to cause trouble."

Chen Mo could wait a whole day.

Having made up his mind, Chen Mo no longer hesitated and went to Xie Cui's side with his knife.

Xie Cui was, after all, the wife of Li Yu, the magistrate. Although she was hacked to pieces by Chen Mo with a broadsword and suffered multiple burns, her body still had to be taken back.

Just as Chen Mo was about to lift Xie Cui's body—

A wisp of peculiar ghostly energy quietly flowed into his body...
