Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

"That's an interesting idea."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro fell into thought.

Battles between psionicists actually involve an element of luck.

Sometimes, a slight deviation of the katana can change the course of a battle.

If there is a lucky gemstone, the outcome should be even more favorable.

"You can try it."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro provided the answer, "But don't you need to work on making talismans?"

"It can also be used to make talismans when inlaid into a katana."

Haruhiko smiled and said, "Theoretically speaking, as long as the lucky gem is with you, it will work."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro didn't say anything more after hearing this.

"Do you want it inlaid on the Red Phoenix?"

Tsuchimikado Mari looked at him and asked.

"Ah."

Haruhiko pondered for a moment and then nodded.

He actually has many spiritual tools.

However, the Three Goddess Scepters and the Red Phoenix Scepter are more commonly used.

The former does not require lucky gems at all.

The latter, being an upgradeable spirit tool, is worthwhile after being socketed.

"When you get back, give me the Red Phoenix and the Lucky Gem."

Mari Tsuchimikado casually replied, "I'll take care of it for you."

"Thank you, Mari-neechan."

Haruhiko immediately smiled.

Tsuchimikado Mari withdrew her gaze and continued counting.

Under the inspection of the two fifth-tier psionicists, Tengshe's spatial ring was quickly searched through completely.

Most of them are good items, but Haruhiko has no use for them.

It was probably the lucky gem that worked, because he obtained a rather useful psionic material.

Name: White-based green jadeite.

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

[Effect: Stores a large amount of spiritual energy, increasing cultivation speed by 30%.]

[Note: A miracle born from a spirit mine, this jade was formed by absorbing spiritual energy.]

Previously, at the ruins of Ōkuninushi, the Utsunomiya clan and Izumo Shrine reached an agreement to jointly mine spirit ore.

Haruhiko decided then and there to train in the vicinity from then on.

But now that he has this white-based green jadeite power bank, he can cultivate anywhere without having to run around.

Efficiency is naturally improved significantly.

time flies.

The Tsuchimikado clan and their party arrived at the ruins.

There were nine in total, all of whom were core members of the Tsuchimikado clan and were all fourth-tier psychic.

When they saw the Teng Snake, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro has no pretentiousness whatsoever.

Since Tengshe had already made it clear, she didn't hesitate to extract his corpse as material for spiritual energy.

Haruhiko packed two bottles of Jade Essence Liquid, intending to take them back to Qingning and Izumi, the two demon-taming beings.

"I'll take you back."

Mari Tsuchimikado said with a faint smile, "Anyway, there's no point in you staying."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

Even though it's the truth, I can't say it to your face; it would hurt your self-esteem.

"Once Mina Utsunomiya has dealt with the Kawasaki clan, I will hand over the reins to her. You don't need to worry about it."

Tsuchimikado Mari reached out and lifted his chin, saying, "You should stay home and train properly."

Her condescending posture, combined with those words, made her seem exceptionally queenly.

Haruhiko recalled her behavior that evening, and it was the same.

There was only one woman who could keep him at arm's length.

However, it's also great to occasionally give up.

Haruhiko and Tsuchimikado Mari left the Tengu Ruins.

Then, using the teleportation array, they returned to the South Campus of the University of Tokyo.

"Your Yukihime is really in a hurry."

Mari Tsuchimikado gave a light snort and said.

Haruhiko realized what was happening and saw Yukihime open the door and walk towards him.

He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

These two, one ice and one fire, are truly difficult to get along with.

Aside from the occasional competition, they never cooperate.

"Welcome home."

While Haruhiko was pondering, Yukihime had already arrived in front of him.

She glanced at Tsuchimikado Mari, then hugged him.

With her red lips slightly parted, she lowered her head and sealed Qingyan's lips with hers.

"..."

Marie Tsuchimikado's expression froze.

This provocation is truly blatant.

If it weren't for Haruhiko's sake, she would have breathed fire at him and burned him to ashes.

Tsuchimikado Mari pursed her lips and turned to leave.

A stunning smile bloomed on Yukihime's face.

Haruhiko took it all in.

But he had no time to appreciate it; he just felt that he had survived another ordeal.

"How was the loot from the ruins?"

Yukihime took a half step back and licked the corner of her mouth.

The red lips were slightly dull, but with a touch more gloss, making them even more alluring.

In the past, she would have checked Haruhiko to see if he was injured.

However, she knew that with Tsuchimikado Mari by her side, nothing would happen.

"pretty good."

Haruhiko took out two bottles of Jade Essence Elixir and said, "We found a large pool in the ruins."

"Jade Marrow Elixir, not bad."

Xue Ji opened the bottle cap, sniffed it, and said, "Your demon-controlling ability can be used, but why are there only two bottles?"

In her mind, the white fox that was transformed into Jinguji Fuyumi was also Haruhiko's tamed spirit.

Therefore, there should be three bottles.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

He had indeed forgotten about it, which revealed a slight flaw in his deception.

"There's another bottle inside the ring."

Haruhiko put away the two bottles of Jade Essence Elixir and said with a smile, "Isn't it because I don't have any hands to hold them?"

Yukihime had no doubts.

She took Haruhiko's hand and led him into the living room.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Yuki knelt down and helped him take off his shoes.
