I'm a male god in Liyue

It feels like such a waste to just recycle a gold-quality item like that, since the [Blazing Incense Burner] is not as practical as the [Virtue Template].

Xia Zhi frowned and fell into deep thought.

To the crane in front of him, this appearance was the image of him suddenly falling into a daze and worrying state after touching her broken wing.

Is this young man making things difficult for me because of my injuries?

My injury isn't so easy to heal.

But seeing this scene, she still felt a warmth in her heart.

She leaned closer and gently touched his shoulder with her beak as a sign of comfort.

Xia Zhi was brought back to his senses by her human-like actions. He smiled at her and said softly, "Don't worry, I will heal you."

Such a beautiful and kind spirit beast deserves good fortune.

Not for any other reason than for her warm and fragrant wings last night.

Xia Zhi looked into the distance and said, "Let's go, we need to find a place with water first."

He walked in the direction indicated by the [Divination Staff] he had used yesterday, with the crane quietly following behind him.

After bypassing the large pit and walking another two or three miles, Xia Zhi faintly heard the sound of water.

I discerned the direction from which the sound came, and it was directly in front of me.

Xia Zhi continued walking forward, and the sound of water became clearer and clearer; it must be a small river.

At that moment, the crane behind him suddenly let out a low cry, then stepped forward and blocked him with its beak.

Xia Zhi stopped and looked at it in confusion.

"what happened?"

The crane let out another low cry, as if reminding him of something.

Is there something ahead?

Xia Zhi's detection range is only twenty meters. Beyond that distance, he is truly blind. The crane probably saw something in the distance, which is why it gave such a warning.

"It's okay, I won't do anything reckless. Let's see how things go first."

Xia Zhi gently pulled aside the crane blocking his way, holding the Holy Light Judgment in one hand and the Space Transfer in the other, and slowly walked forward.

He still chose to believe the result of the divination staff.

Yesterday he encountered an injured crane and obtained the [Blazing Incense Burner] from it.

Perhaps something lucky will happen today.

Familiar footsteps came from behind, and the crane caught up.

Perhaps it was worried about him, or perhaps it wasn't afraid of those things.

But no matter what, it caught up with him and didn't leave him behind.

Xia Zhi's fondness for it grew even stronger.

The sound of water ahead grew louder and louder.

There were also some strange "thump" sounds.

It looked like something collided with each other.

Xia Zhi became vigilant.

As he got closer, his probe finally reached the source of the sound.

The translucent color, round and rolling, resembles enlarged gelatinous jelly.

It actually looks kind of cute.

"Is this... a slime?"

Xia Zhi stopped in his tracks, his gray eyes fixed on the largest slime among the group.

In his eyes, a progress bar was clearly visible on its body.

It's still silver-white.

Progress: 0%.

Chapter Six: What a single glance can ruin a lifetime

It's a bit troublesome.

These wild slimes are not as docile as the cranes around him, who allow him to touch and interact with them to increase their progress bar.

Standing here and staring at the slime probably won't work. He tried this method on the crane last night, and the progress bar didn't increase at all.

It might be because he is blind.

It may be because only the gaze between deities has the effect of divine corruption that it is judged as an interaction.

Upon sensing that outsiders had entered their territory, the slimes suddenly became agitated.

Led by the largest slime, this group of adorable creatures came bounding and hopping towards Xia Zhi with great momentum.

The visuals are indeed quite cute, but unfortunately the speed is a bit slow.

Xia Zhi looked at them, kept his distance, and then unleashed a skill at them.

Second-tier light spell: [Holy Light Judgment].

Although the effect of [Radiant Wings] is to automatically master all light spells of the fifth rank and below, he cannot use light spells of the third rank and above because his mana is too low.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to buy elixirs from the [Shop]; he could just use a fourth-tier light-elemental spell, [Holy Healing], on the crane to heal its broken wing.

Suddenly, a bolt of white light appeared in mid-air and struck the slime running in the lead.

When the white light dissipated, the slime had vanished, leaving only a small puddle of slime on the ground.

Such a fragile monster, not difficult to deal with.

Xia Zhi glanced at it, feeling confident. He pulled back while locking onto another slime and unleashing another [Holy Light Judgment].

Another slime has been killed.

However, the deaths of their companions did not affect the offensive rhythm of the other slimes in the slightest.

They don't seem very smart.

After striking with [Holy Light Judgment] a few more times, Xia Zhi felt his magic power was running low, so he kept his distance and slowly recovered under the sun.

This is the characteristic of [Radiant Wings]: Light Healing. As long as he stands under the sun and is bathed in sunlight, he can quickly restore his vitality and mana.

Once his mana had recovered sufficiently, Xia Zhi then used [Holy Light Judgment].

The crane stood silently by, watching.

For some reason, the slimes seemed to ignore her, jumping past her without attacking her at all.

Seeing that Xia Zhi could handle these slimes on her own, she didn't make a move.

It's not that she lacks combat power. Although she has been reduced to her original form, she can still easily kill ordinary monsters with her claws.

She wasn't just watching the spectacle; she was observing the Daoist techniques Xia Zhi was unleashing.

This brand-new cultivation system is very interesting, and she is very interested in it. If she can completely deconstruct it, she might be able to use it as a basis to create a new Taoist art of her own.

After a while, only the largest slime remained.

Xia Zhi raised his hand and unleashed a [Holy Light Judgment] on it as well.

Its health points seemed to be higher than its companions, and it didn't die, only its size shrank a bit.

At the same time, Xia Zhi noticed that the progress bar on it had increased slightly.

Progress: 5%.

Xia Zhiwei was slightly taken aback.

So attacking can be considered a form of interaction, and can be used to refresh a progress bar?

But this slime is too weak and can't withstand twenty hits of [Holy Light Judgment] at all. Unfortunately, there are very few attack spells in the light magic system, and there is no skill gentler than [Holy Light Judgment].

Xia Zhi felt somewhat regretful.

Or, could we use [Heal] to restore its health, and then slowly use [Judgment] to heal it up?

This seems a bit too much of a torment.

With a crane watching nearby, this kind of devilish behavior is likely to lose you favor.

Forget it.

Xia Zhi raised his hand again and unleashed a second [Holy Light Judgment].

As the white light fell, Xia Zhi heard the system's voice echo in his mind.

"Progress bar has reached 100%, Silver Treasure Chest reward obtained."

Xia Zhi stared at the silver-white treasure chest lying quietly in his inventory, lost in thought.
