Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Chapter 105 Sect Human-Machine Test (5000 words)

"The twins also said that the Witches' Guild's laboratory in Hulin City was actually searching for a way to enter the remains of the magical girl's mind."

High up on the building, Dong Jun used his ability to make snow fall around him so he could walk to Jiang Si's side and open his umbrella.

He naturally leaned close to Jiang Si, took out a handkerchief from somewhere, and wiped the dust off Jiang Si's face. "It seems that the Witch Society doesn't know how to enter a complete mental image fragment. This seems to be a technology that only the Disaster Management Bureau has mastered. Moreover, the Twins also learned from there that the Disaster Management Bureau has a lot of incomplete mental image fragments of fully opened magical girls."

Why haven't we seen them in East China?

"Because East China is considered a safe area in the General Administration's assessment, many technologies will not be distributed to East China."

Jiang Si sneered, "Instead of sharing technology and expanding the overall combat power, they hoard their own and only ensure the combat power of their own headquarters. It's a common problem of major sects."

After wiping away the dust and folding the handkerchief, Dongjun thought for a moment and then offered an explanation: "Judging from the current strength of the Witch Association, it's not really a misjudgment. Supporting a few Blooming Magical Girls should indeed be enough to handle it. It's just that some of the Blooming Magical Girls that have been sent to support us are not strong enough."

Whether it's the Azure Phoenix or the Iris, from the perspective of the Azure Cloud Sect, they are still quite far from their true full bloom.

Within the Qingyun Sect, this level of magical power and control precision would generally not allow for a hasty breakthrough.

"Heh, large sects hoard their secrets, while smaller branch sects are helpless when they encounter enemies. So they send young disciples from headquarters out to deal with them, calling it an external mission. This way, they can both demonstrate the sect's authority and train their disciples."

"The result was that he was too overconfident and arrogant. Once he encountered a genius or a random emperor, he would lose his life for nothing. Then the sect would be furious and furious, and then they would gradually increase the risk of losing him. It was like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather. It was extremely ridiculous."

Jiang Si shook her head and said dismissively, "I've seen it all."

In online articles.

Dong Jun smiled and said, "After all, other regions need high combat power more."

"There's no need to defend them. Almost every book in my Qingyun sect records their deeds. Every word is written in blood and tears. In fact, they almost wiped out fourteen true disciples from two generations of the sect. If it weren't for that ancestor who overcame the odds and turned the tide, single-handedly plucking stars from the dead end and winning everything, my entire ancestor would probably be ridiculed by the whole world!"

"There's nothing new under the sun, and all crows are black. This kind of problem is unavoidable for every major sect. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people and only consider their own interests. Sooner or later, they will be..."

"Sect Master."

Dong Jun brushed a strand of hair from Jiang Si's temple, tidying up the slightly messy hair, and lightly scratched his earlobe before dropping it. As if somewhat helpless, Dong Jun interrupted him, "Qingyun Sect did it too."

Aside from Jiang Ming and Hu Lin City, which the sect leader dealt with himself, Dong Jun simply dispatched some new magical girls to handle the other smaller branches of the Qingyun Sect.

Furthermore, techniques for purifying unclean magic or methods for developing skills are not readily distributed to branch sects in other regions, since there are fewer people and branch sects in other regions may disband at any time.

Delegating technology is not only a waste of time, but it also carries the risk of leaks.

Jiang Si remained silent for a while before saying, "On the other hand, the way of Heaven is constant and the torch is passed down forever. There must be a reason why this method can exist for so long. This matter cannot be generalized."

"What the sect leader said is absolutely true."

Dong Jun nodded with a smile, without pointing out anything.

As long as Jiang Si can convince herself, Dong Jun is already used to it.

The sect leader loves to spout grand principles and casually quotes classical texts—mostly anecdotes from ancestors. But sometimes the profound truth in the latter part of a sentence might contradict the former. Left brain attacks right brain, Jiang Si beats up Zi Yuan.

As Jiang Si herself said, it still depends on the situation.

After coughing, Jiang Si didn't say anything more and jumped off the building.

Dongjun also floated down, and when he landed, he exited his transformed state.

However, the snowflakes did not stop. It was snowing all over the streets. Even without transforming, Dongjun could manipulate some ice to create visual interference by controlling a little magic.

The two people jumped off the building without any apparent concern, and no one noticed, even though there were still many people on the street.

Compared to when she was at Qingyun Sect, Bing Tang has changed her clothes.

A hazy blue knitted dress, a white scarf draped across the chest, and a pair of pretty blue and white ankle boots—a gentle and sweet style of dress.

The contrast between her and Jiang Si's stiff trench coat was quite striking, making them look like a couple.

There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, but not much.

These snowflakes won't melt into water and make the streets dirty. Bing Tang hates dirty streets, and she hates getting her and Jiang Si's shoes dirty even more.

The temperature on the street dropped considerably, and many passersby, who weren't dressed warmly to begin with, were shivering with their arms wrapped around themselves.

Only a few children were running around in the streets, chasing and playing with the snowflakes.

"What kind of weather is this? Why is it snowing..."

Bing Tang pretended not to hear the complaints of the passersby, and just held her umbrella and stood close to Jiang Si. "Shuang Sheng said she wanted to go to South China to take a look. The larger witch associations here have basically been wiped out, and we can't get any more information. Shuang Sheng said that we might be able to get more information in South China. Besides, she has acquaintances there, so it's easier for her to gather information."

“She can go if she wants to.” After a pause, Jiang Si added with praise, “It must have been hard for her.”

If they weren't twins, dealing with the Witch Association would probably be quite troublesome, whether in Jiangming, Hulin City, or even Beihai.

This girl's contributions are evident to all.

"When I have time in the future, I'll grant her the title of honorary disciple."

In terms of strength, the twins are still a bit lacking, so it's not really appropriate for them to be promoted to true disciples.

But with such a great contribution, being a mere inner disciple is somewhat inappropriate; an honorary disciple would be the best choice.

Upon hearing this, Bing Tang was genuinely happy for Shuang Sheng. "Yes, I will tell Shuang Sheng. She will be very happy to have your approval. Why don't you tell her the news yourself?"

"Forget it, I don't know why, but she always trembles when she sees me." Jiang Si seemed a little confused as well. "Did you use me to scare her?"

"No, not at all," Bing Tang retorted. "It's clearly you who's too scary. Just become Zi Yuan, and the twins won't be afraid anymore. Zi Yuan is also easier for disciples to get close to."

"unnecessary."

As Jiang Si spoke, the two walked out of the street. By then, Bing Tang's power had almost worn off, the sky cleared, and there was no more snow. So he nudged the girl's umbrella and said, "Put it away, there's no more snow."

Bing Tang snorted: "Can't I use the shade from the sun?"

Jiang Si looked up.

It seems like I didn't see much of the sun.

But anyway, Bing Tang always does some random, silly things, and he's gotten used to it.

The two of them have been doing this for the past three years, so there's no need to force each other to do anything.

Halfway there, Bing Tang asked, "By the way, what about the gifts I asked you to buy for Yu Mo and the others?"

"forget."

“…They really will cry, especially Yumo, let’s buy some.” As she spoke, Bingtang tugged at Jiang Si and walked into the shop next door. “Let’s buy some snacks for Yotsuba and Rokuyo first.”

Jiang Si casually picked up a snack from the store's display case and said, "I'll take this one."

Rock Sugar glanced at it.

"Overlord Spicy Strips, the triple-spicy kind, '...you really want to see those two girls cry, don't you?'"

With a sigh, Bing Tang pulled Jiang Si to the next-door cake shop, which was extremely deserted and had a sign advertising 30% off everything. "Buy some small cakes and bread. Si Ye and Liu Ye love these."

Jiang Si picked one at random, while Bing Tang covered her forehead, "Maimai sauce toast, this isn't for normal people."

"Just by looking at it, you can tell it's not for human consumption, right?"

"Blue cheese soda bread. Glutinous rice natto milk... Do you have a grudge against Yotsuba and Rokujo?"

In the end, Bing Tang had no choice but to put Jiang Sixuan's things back, saying, "I'll do it myself."

While picking out the egg tarts and small cakes that Yotsuba and Rokuyo love, Bing Tang turned around and said, "Girls usually like these kinds of pastries that are both pretty and delicious. Remember to buy these egg tarts next time."

I've said it so many times, but I've never remembered it even once.

After packing up the cakes for the four-leaf and six-leaf cakes, Bing Tang handed the bag to Jiang Si, who looked puzzled. "Why don't you just take it back and give it to them?"

"You must deliver the gift in person; you can't let someone else deliver it for you!"

"This is so troublesome..." Jiang Si picked up the plastic bag.

"Be careful not to break it. Yotsuba likes to take pictures before eating the cake. She'll be sad if it doesn't look good."

"..."

Then we found a jewelry store that wasn't particularly high-end.

"I'll buy Yumo a hair clip, something pretty..." Bingtang said as she went to the counter next to her to pick one out.

Jiang Si looked around at the entrance and saw that most of the items were hair accessories and earrings for girls, and most of the customers were couples.

Before long, a waiter who had a moment to spare immediately came over with a big smile, "What would you like, sir?"

"A hair clip, for girls."

"Oh, oh." The waiter glanced at the rock candy still being selected, his eyes lit up, and he whispered, "I'll pick one for you, it'll definitely surprise her!"

"Oh." Jiang Si nodded. "It would be best if it could be done as quickly as possible."

"Right away, right away." The waiter jogged over to the side and then brought over a small box.

The small box is heart-shaped. When you open it, the hair clip is almost the size of a ring, with a sparkling little heart-shaped stone set in it. The whole thing is pink.

"It perfectly matches that elegant and gentle temperament; girls will definitely love it! And the price isn't expensive either..."

Jiang Si took a look and immediately called out, "Rock sugar, waiter, you've chosen it."

The waiters were stunned.

If you tell me now, all the surprise is gone! How can there be such an amazing boy!

That girl is blind to have fallen for a boy like that...

The rock candy who was still picking out the candy paused for a moment, then looked back.

Then Jiang Si saw the bright heart in her hand, "Give this to Yu Mo..."

"Absolutely not!"

……

In the end, she chose a cute hair clip with a bow, which suited Yumo perfectly.

Love is definitely not an option; it would cause Yu Mo to misunderstand.

When Bing Tang came out of the shop, he also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Picking out gifts for the disciples with Jiang Si was more tiring than fighting...

Seeing the pastries in Jiang Si's hand and the jewelry in her pocket, Bing Tang asked, "Should we give them to them when we get back to the sect?" "I'll go home first, and then go to the sect this afternoon."

"All right……"

Bing Tang waited a while longer, took a breath, knowing she wouldn't get any more money, and then asked, "Is there any money left?"

"Ah."

Shaking her little umbrella, Bing Tang peeked out and glanced at the shop next door.

"I want to eat ice cream, Jiang Si."

Holding Jiang Si's wrist with one hand, Bing Tang pointed to a nearby shop with her umbrella, "That ice cream is delicious."

"Just buy it."

"I didn't bring any money."

Jiang Si looked at her like she was an idiot. "Mobile payment."

"Please, please, I beg you."

Shaking Jiang Si's hand as if she were being affectionate, Bing Tang looked at him expectantly, "Anyway, I don't need the rest of the money, so buy it for me, and I'll buy it for you in the future too."

Jiang Sishen has a deep understanding of the saying that the richer people are, the stingier they tend to be.

Bing Tang's family is incredibly wealthy, but over the years they've always liked to take advantage of her.

Even after taking advantage of the situation, they will still provide a sufficiently generous return.

However, since it was all money given as a gift by Bing Tang, he didn't really care.

Jiang Si wasn't really in the mood for ice cream after the snowfall.
So I only bought one ice cream.

When the ice cream was handed over, the girl gave a sweet smile, "Thank you for your generosity, Lady Jiang Si!"

"You clearly have your own money, don't you?"

"Oh dear, it's always better when someone else treats you." Bing Tang took the ice cream, stuck out her tongue, and licked it a couple of times. "It really is delicious."

He then shoved the ice cream into Jiang Si's mouth, saying, "You should try some too."

Anyway, I bought it with my own money.

Jiang Si took a big bite out of it.

“It’s such a waste to eat such a big bite at once… Oh well, that’s just how you are.” Bing Tang snorted and continued to lick the ice cream inside a few more times. “Oh, I almost forgot, Shuang Sheng also said that Hu Lin City has actually found a way to enter the Heart Image Remains.”

"what?"

"It involves finding girls with the potential to become magical girls, then using experiments to find magical girls who resonate with the mental fragments. These magical girls can then be used to open the mental fragments and find a way to enter."

Like a little hamster, Bing Tang crunched and ate the cake shell around the ice cream, then licked the ice cream inside in small bites, revealing a happy expression. "It is said that it was finally found, but the witch was wiped out by you as soon as it was found, so they don't know where the girl who can open the Heart Remnant passage is now."

"Really? That's a bit of a shame."

"However, the twins have already found out her name. The girl who can enter the remnants of the mind is called An Shiyu."

Jiang Si paused for a moment, then asked, "An Shiyu?"

“Yes, the twins said her ability can resonate with the remnants of the mind…” Seeing Jiang Si’s expression, Bing Tang tilted her head, “What’s wrong?”

"I think I've met her before."

Bing Tang's face lit up with joy. "Where is it?"

“I shook them off, I don’t know where they are now.” Jiang Si pondered for a moment, “They were in Hulin City, but they were in the forest at the time, so they must have gone somewhere else later.”

"Hey, Sect Master, why don't you bring her back?"

"Too tasty."

Rock Candy stomped her foot. "Just nurture it a bit! This is the key to entering the remnants of the Heart Image!"

“Mainly,” Jiang thought for a moment, “she said she wanted to be with me, and I found that a bit suspicious.”

Upon hearing this, Bing Tang, who had been somewhat anxious, immediately calmed down and nodded repeatedly. "It is indeed very suspicious. As expected of the Sect Master, you recognized the person with ill intentions at a glance. This must be a conspiracy by the Witch Society!"

"It's a pity I lost a key, otherwise I'll go look for it again later."

"No, no, leave this to us. You just need to rest." Bing Tang immediately rejected Jiang Si's suggestion. "If we let you do everything yourself, then there's no point in us establishing the Qingyun Sect!"

Jiang Si nodded, "That makes sense."

Are forbidden zones of life really such inconvenient things? As long as Jiang thinks it through, he can go there even without a key!

If it's lost, it's lost. There's nothing to regret.

Thinking this way, Jiang Si didn't take it to heart, and instead focused her gaze on Bing Tang's umbrella.

I asked instinctively, "Why do you like to carry an umbrella when you go out so much?"

Bing Tang, who had just finished her ice cream, was still thinking about how to tell everyone in the sect how to get Si Ye and Liu Ye to find An Shi Yu.

How should we deal with this girl who actually dared to confess her feelings to Jiang Si?

The boy's sudden question startled her for a moment.

The sky had cleared, and the sunlight was not glaring. The warm rays shone through the umbrella and fell on the two of them.

Bing Tang stepped on Jiang Si's elongated shadow, twirling her umbrella to merge the shadows together, making it look like they were holding hands.

Why do you like to carry an umbrella?
That brings us to why someone brought an umbrella when they transformed that day.

The scene of him walking against the flow of the crowd and taking out the miracle seed under an umbrella.

Even today, I can still clearly recall every detail.

Whether it's a boy holding a miracle seed or a magical girl as fiery as flames.

For the little girl lying helplessly in the rain, they were like the sun, unforgettable after just one glance.

However, the fact that I suddenly asked this question made Bing Tang sigh a little.

Perhaps there's nothing worth remembering for him.

"You're still interested in this?"

"Because sometimes the weather is very nice, and you still carry an umbrella, aren't you tired?"

Twirling the umbrella in her hand, Bing Tang turned around to face Jiang Si, leaning slightly forward as she walked backward with light steps. A sly smile played on her lips.

"This is a girl's little secret."

Jiang Si nodded, understanding perfectly.

Perhaps it's some kind of secret of cultivation.

It's indeed difficult to fathom the secrets of other people's cultivation techniques.

I misspoke.

……

After parting ways with Bing Tang, Jiang Si returned home.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, I quietly returned to the bedroom, pressed the play button on the tape recorder, and the clear, tinkling sound of the wind chimes rang out. Then I prepared three sticks of incense.

Today he plans to fast properly.

For those who cultivate immortality, the most important thing is to abstain from grains.

Fasting is the biggest dividing line between cultivators and ordinary people. Only those who have truly succeeded in fasting can say that they are cultivators.

Otherwise, one would still need grains to nourish the body, so how could one be called an immortal!
Although she had failed several times before, Jiang Si had found the problem.

One reason is insufficient personal strength. Although the magical girl form is already at the Nascent Soul stage, the real body is still only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and even the Foundation Establishment stage is unstable, so it is easy to fail to achieve the desired result.

On the other hand, the most crucial prop was not used.

Bigu Pill!
Jiang Si took out the Seed of Sorrow and the Egg of Calamity.

He planned to use these two materials to refine a fasting pill.

Although he didn't know much about weapon crafting, he had some knowledge of alchemy.

He had followed Emperor Yan in various alchemy competitions, crushing countless alchemy geniuses and becoming famous throughout the Pill Tower!
This was a piece of cake for him.

The most important things in alchemy are: first, the strange fire; second, the equipment; and third, the materials.

What alchemists value most is actually the strength of the soul. Emperor Yan was able to become an alchemist because he was a transmigrator and had a very strong soul.

Coincidentally, Jiang Si was the same way.

The path of Emperor Yan's alchemy is about to be retraced!
Just as he took out the furnace he had prepared, intending to summon the Nascent Soul True Fire to refine the Calamity Egg and the Seed of Sorrow into a Bigu Pill.

Suddenly, they heard the door of the house below being opened.

Jiang Si initially thought it was just Coco returning and didn't pay much attention, but the four different footsteps and slightly noisy conversation quickly made her realize something was wrong.

When refining medicine, the worst thing is to be disturbed.

No wonder alchemists all need to be confined to a secluded place...

He temporarily abandoned alchemy, put away the small furnace—a small bowl he bought by the roadside—and also put away the Egg of Calamity and the Seed of Sorrow.

Once downstairs, I wanted to see who had come and why there were so many of them.

However, just as she went downstairs, she saw Coco, Li Yi, Susan, and An Shiyu...

An Shiyu?
He glanced at the girl, who was also staring at him blankly.

"elder brother……"

Before Coco could speak, Jiang Si suddenly turned around, went back to her bedroom, and immediately dialed Bing Tang's number.

"The key has been found."
