Please control me, my divine being!

Li Qinghe looked at the bronze wine vessel.

The blood volume inside had decreased further and was no longer able to cover the mother's body. Perhaps once the blood disappeared, the body would decompose.

The illusory figures that used to flicker on the water's surface have never been seen again.

The effects of the bronze wine vessel are gradually fading.

The girl's eyes were filled with sadness.

To avenge his mother, he must gain greater power.

I touched my left eye; it was still aching slightly after using the Insightful Eye technique.

The use of common skills always comes at a price.

Some of the consequences manifest physically, while others are felt mentally or otherwise.

Hesitated for a moment.

Her eyes hardened again. She drew a machete from her waist, cut her finger, and used her blood as ink to draw a ritual diagram on the ground.

After several rituals, she became quite skilled at drawing ritual diagrams, and in no time, the entire diagram was drawn on the ground.

The Taiyi Prayer for Blessings and Return to Dust Ritual Diagram is a basic ritual diagram for communicating with the divine, derived from knowledge imparted by the Green Lord.

It was also the only ritual diagram she learned.

After drawing the diagram, she turned pale and used grass leaves to wipe and press the wound until the bleeding stopped.

Although her health has improved considerably compared to before, she still feels dizzy after losing too much blood.

Complete the drawing of the ritual diagram.

She then took out three pairs of incense sticks and lit them on the triangles of the ceremonial diagram. She then used stones and wooden planks to build a small platform in the center of the diagram.

The altar has been erected.

Although simple, it was indeed a complete altar in a certain sense.

This was also the first time Li Qinghe had set up a ritual altar.

From conversations with other cultivators, she also learned some basic common sense about the cultivation world, such as the importance of ritual diagrams and altars.

She had always been controlled by the gods, which was why she had never been troubled by sacrificial rituals.

(Please remember 1110.com for the fastest chapter updates)

However, to truly respect and revere a deity, one must never be careless in matters of sacrifice.

She realized that the gods were exceptionally lenient with her, whereas others had to pay a heavy price to worship them, but that was no excuse for being perfunctory.

"call."

Take a deep breath.

Li Qinghe placed the offerings on the altar.

That soul-nourishing plaque contained an extremely rich and unique aura.

In her spiritual perception, only this Soul Nourishing Tablet was a sacrifice with "immense value".

Li Qinghe did not hide his identity as a rogue cultivator.

Therefore, Shen Cishuang thoughtfully explained to her the various procedures of cultivation and sacrifice, as well as the selection of offerings.

value!

Human flesh and blood, emotions—these are all valuable, and they are the most common offerings.

Apart from that, there are just some mundane things that contain "value".

The value inherent in such mundane things needs to be judged by the practitioner using their own experience and intuition.

According to Shen Cishuang, in some large cities with a large number of cultivators, such as Sili Capital and Nandu Jiang'an, there are appraisers who specialize in appraising the value of worldly items.

After gathering my thoughts and making all the necessary preparations,

Li Qinghe knelt before the altar with her hands clasped together, bowed her head, and began to recite the prayer:

The Xuan Tian has a master, whose name is Qing.

With the release of the Qi, my Lord will be remembered.

Disciple Qinghe is devout in his pursuit of the Dao.

To practice the righteous law and help those suffering.

I am ashamed that my strength is too weak to subdue the demons.

May divine light descend and bathe my crown chakra.

I am willing to bestow upon you the talisman and seal, enabling you to communicate with the netherworld and reach the underworld.

May you open your eyes of wisdom to distinguish truth from falsehood.

All prayers are answered.

As the prayer was recited, a gentle breeze swept by.

That indescribable, immense power descended upon his body once more.

Li Qinghe only saw a vast, sky-covering scroll unfold before her eyes, and saw a pale, magnificent shadow floating in the heavens.

……

"You're getting more and more formal in your studies, and you're progressing quite quickly."

Zhou Qing observed the quality of this sacrificial ceremony.

[Current Altar: Taiyi Prayer for Blessings and Return to the Mortal Realm]

[Offering: Soul-Nourishing Tablet]

[Sacrifice Efficiency, Level 3]

With the opening of the altar, the scroll of Taoist tradition and the lives of ordinary people in the marketplace is once again unfolded.

Merchants, fortune tellers, beggars, peddlers... a vivid picture of the everyday life of ordinary people unfolds before our eyes.

[Divine power gained from this sacrifice: 23 points]

Current Divine Power: 23 points

[Please select to give to believers: blessing, trial, or divine revelation.]

After selecting "Blessing," a tower-shaped icon with numerous dots, resembling a constellation of stars, appears.

Twenty-three points of divine power!

Zhou Qing had never fought such a rich battle before.

He brought up Li Qinghe's control panel.

[Believer: Li Qinghe]

[Faith Level: Two]

[Blessings: Strength 1, Spirit 1, Intuition 2]

[Common Skills: Keen Insight]

After looking at the skill point allocation chart, Zhou Qing prioritized increasing Strength, Spirit, and Intuition to level three.

In this way, thirteen points of divine power were consumed immediately.

Ten points of divine power remain.

Zhou Qing looked at a special golden node: [Promotion].

[Advancement: By following the deity you worship, you advance further on your spiritual path and gain even greater power!]

[To choose this node, you need to nourish your entire body with popularity, have a faith level of three, possess two worldly arts, and have one worldly item from the path of the Yaman.]

Well, the requirements for promotion are quite stringent.

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then turned his attention to the other two routes.

[Folk Art: Eloquence], [Folk Art: Hidden Secrets]

Zhou Qing had already seen the effects of the tongue-wagging technique; it could alter cognition and confuse the mind—it was very powerful, but it required eloquence to work with it.

The effectiveness of folk arts depends on many factors, and their power varies from person to person.

Clearly, Li Qinghe is the type of girl who has a lot on her mind but says very little.

This is also related to her upbringing.

She is somewhat insecure, sensitive, and cautious.

Therefore, this mundane technique was clearly unsuitable for her, and as for the other technique, "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve," Zhou Qing didn't know how effective it would be, but the amount of divine power consumed was evident.

It takes a full seven points.

This is hardly a multiple-choice question, but rather an elimination question.

Without hesitation, Zhou Qing chose [Common Techniques: Hidden Universe in the Sleeve].

……

Splash!

Amidst the howling wind.

The offerings on the altar had completely disappeared, and Li Qinghe suddenly gripped her right hand tightly.

Veins bulged from under the skin, and drops of blood seeped out through the pores.

An unseen force descended upon her body, constantly helping her suppress the pain and repair her skin.

Strength, spirit, and intuition are all rapidly increasing at this moment.

He possesses immense strength, is as powerful as an ox, and can punch through a large tree.

With keen hearing and sharp eyesight, it can hear the buzzing of flies and see the patterns on their wings even when they are dozens of meters away.

With a heightened spiritual sense, one can perceive intangible and formless things in the air, and in the deep, dark woods, there are even some indescribable ghosts.

However, the biggest change was in her right hand.

His entire arm was covered in seeping blood, and the veins were intertwined and twisted, forming strange and distorted patterns.

The excruciating pain almost made her faint.

Along with the pain, knowledge about this mundane art also flooded into his mind.
