Please control me, my divine being!

Li Qinghe lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Bloodletting, drawing, moving corpses, sacrificial rites...

Throughout the entire process, although her body was controlled, her consciousness remained clear.

The pain of bleeding and the stench of burning flesh when moving monster corpses remain vivid in my memory.

The eeriness of the final ritual made her even more terrified.

She grew up in a shantytown and often heard stories of people who sacrificed themselves to evil gods and eventually died violently.

Fortunately, the power that was controlling my body has faded.

Li Qinghe hurriedly got up and climbed up into the underground cave.

Climbing up this time was actually easier than coming down. With a push of my hands, I felt like a nimble kitten, easily landing on the ground.

She was stunned, staring incredulously at her hands, which had become much stronger.

Moreover, the wound from the machete is already almost scabbed over.

"Sacrifice..."

Li Qinghe recalled her feelings during the final sacrificial ceremony.

It was as if a deity had descended upon me, and my body was filled with some kind of intense, scalding power, before everything quickly returned to calm.

She initially thought it was just her imagination, but to her surprise, the ritual actually worked.

The god who controlled them accepted the offerings and also bestowed upon them His power.

"No, I can't think about it anymore."

Li Qinghe shook her head, banishing all the random thoughts from her mind.

The bizarre and terrifying experience she had just had was still fresh in her mind; even if it could increase her strength, she wouldn't want to go through it a second time.

Getting my mother cured and living a peaceful life is the most important thing.

Government officials, laws and religions, the River God... these things are not for her, a sixteen-year-old girl working as a day laborer for the Zhang family, to worry about; it wouldn't do her any good anyway.

Her feelings toward the mysterious entity that controls her body are extremely complex.

What she wants most right now is to communicate with the other party and have a proper discussion about her right to her body!

This guy...

Remembering that there are gods watching over us, Li Qinghe ultimately didn't dare to voice her grievances. With her body held in His hand, she had no choice but to lower her head.

After leaving the River God Temple, she, like the previous followers of the Fa religion, disappeared into the nearby woods.

There are constables patrolling the fish market area; returning the way you came would likely result in you being caught.

Running briskly through the mountains and forests.

Li Qinghe discovered that not only had her strength increased, but her hearing and eyesight also seemed to have improved to some extent.

The chirping of insects in the grass was crystal clear.

Even the veins of the leaves in the distance can be seen with perfect clarity.

The whole world seemed to have changed before her eyes, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.

She walked briskly and soon ran back to town, heading straight for the clinic, without encountering many people along the way.

Only after visiting the clinic so frequently recently did Li Qinghe notice that Huangshui Town had changed a lot. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and some remote streets were particularly deserted.

Furthermore, members of the Fajiao sect with yellow talismans wrapped around their wrists are appearing more and more frequently.

Officials and constables guarded important intersections.

Li Qinghe ignored all of this and strode into the clinic.

Compared to yesterday's hustle and bustle, the clinic is unusually quiet today. The groans of the patients, which used to be audible as soon as you entered, are now completely silent.

As if overnight, all the patients had disappeared.

The front of the clinic was the counter, and the back was the wards.

The usually busy senior doctor was now dozing off behind the counter.

"Dr. Liu, are you so free today? Where are the other patients?" Li Qinghe walked up to the old man, speaking respectfully.

The elderly doctor, who was over sixty years old, opened his eyes and sighed: "Some died, and the others who were seriously injured were taken out of the city by the constables. I didn't dare to ask where they were going."

As for the remaining patients, since I had run out of medicinal herbs, and having heard that the talismanic water from the Fajiao sect could cure evil sores, they all rushed over there.”

Li Qinghe frowned.

Dr. Liu's family has been doctors for generations. He has run a clinic in Huangshui Town for decades and is the best doctor in the surrounding area.

"These sores are hard to cure, and the medicinal herbs are hard to find. Besides, there's the Liu Ren divination method now," Doctor Liu sighed, his gaze fixed on the girl. "Has your mother felt any better after taking the medicine?"

"Dr. Liu, I've come to ask you to make a house call. My mother can't take her medicine by herself, so I need you to come and see her."

Li Qinghe placed the half-full basket of Yin-dispelling vines on the counter: "These are the medicinal herbs I picked from the riverbank. That should be enough for the consultation fee, right?"

Doctor Liu stared wide-eyed at the sheer number of Yin-dispelling vines.

Even the herb gatherers who usually supplied him couldn't get any, but this little girl in front of him gathered a whole basketful.

"That's enough, that's enough, there's even a surplus." Doctor Liu stood up impatiently from behind the counter, a smile spreading across his old face. "This way, we can save a few more people! Please wait a moment, young lady, I'll go to the backyard to make medicine right away, and we'll set off as soon as it's ready."

Li Qinghe nodded hurriedly, feeling a great weight lifted from her shoulders.

Finally, my mother's illness has been resolved!

...

"This game is great in every way, except it's too realistic."

Zhou Qing yawned.

After the girl arrived at the clinic, the storyline of medicine making began, and a long ink timer popped up.

And by the time the ink timer runs out, it will be another hour before the girl and the doctor return to the shantytown.

Operations like traveling or waiting take a lot of time and cannot be skipped.

"Let's play again tomorrow, it's getting late today." Zhou Qing stood up from his chair, stretched, and rested his hand on the edge of the desk.

Click.

He knocked off a corner of the exquisitely crafted mahogany desk.

Zhou Qing stared at the broken edge of the desk, momentarily stunned. But soon, he noticed the footsteps of a maid outside the courtyard and the intermittent chirping of insects hiding under the artificial rocks.

Zhou Qing pushed open the door of the warm pavilion and looked at the artificial hill in the courtyard.

The patterns on the rocks are clearly visible, and even from a distance of more than ten meters, you can clearly see ants moving in and out of the crevices.

He was as strong as a tiger, with sharp ears and eyes.

This is how Zhou Qing feels about herself right now.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he turned around, went back to his study, hurriedly picked up a book, and entered the game.

Soon, Li Qinghe's condition appeared before my eyes.

[Li Qinghe, Blessed: Strength LV1, Spirit LV1, Inspiration LV1]

Yes,

The blessing I bestowed seems to have not only strengthened my game character, but also simultaneously strengthened my body!

The increase in strength made him incredibly powerful, and before he could adapt, he broke off a corner of the desk.

A spiritual uplift makes one more perceptive and alert.

This seemingly strange cheat code isn't just for killing time!

While Zhou Qing felt joy, he also harbored some suspicions.

If the enhancements a game character gains can be synchronized to the player, does that mean the game is connected to reality, or perhaps they are the same world?

Moreover, Li Qinghe used blood to draw an array and offered three monster corpses in the sacrifice, which turned into three points of divine power. Only after receiving the blessing did he become a cultivator.

But it seems that I can continuously become stronger simply by developing my game character?

Zhou Qing let out a long breath and looked at the enhanced attributes.

Inspiration LV1, what does it improve?

Due to the game's weak guidance and strong exploration characteristics, many functions need to be explored on one's own, and the attributes are naturally not explained at all. Zhou Qing can only distinguish the function of the attributes based on their literal meaning and experience.

Both strength and spirit are very intuitive.

However, the meaning of "inspiration" is somewhat uncertain, and there are no obvious physical changes.

Da da da.

Just as Zhou Qing was pondering, footsteps sounded from afar outside the courtyard.

In the past, Zhou Qing would never have been able to hear it, but now he could not only hear it, but also recognize that the person who came was Steward Zheng.

really,

Not long after, Zheng Chi arrived outside the warm pavilion.

After knocking and entering, he said with a delighted expression, "Young Master, the old item you asked me to find has been found!"
