Please control me, my divine being!

Upon seeing the ear symbol, Zhou Qing immediately realized that this battle could end in another way: by creating enough momentum to gain support from the Huang family and the brokerage firm.

After all, Li Qinghe now holds the position of a guest elder in the brokerage firm, and his outings are also aimed at combating the Fajiao sect.

However, if two groups of people arrive, the spoils I can get will definitely be less, and I might not even get a single bit left.

More importantly, this is a hidden map.

The map clearly indicates the mission details: [River God Side Quest].

This is what Zhou Qing most wanted to know about the map.

This is the first time I've encountered a clear quest hint since starting the game, and it was discovered in a hidden map, making it extremely tempting.

As several talismans flew out, Zhou Qing stared at the badges belonging to the six disciples in the battle arena.

At that moment, they all retreated, not immediately launching an attack. Clearly, the talismans they had thrown were extremely powerful, and they were worried about accidentally injuring themselves, so they chose to dodge.

"The talismans used by the Fajiao sect are indeed a bit of a nuisance."

Zhou Qing immediately dragged Li Qinghe's badge, trying to dodge the attack of these talismans.

Generally speaking

In the past, I could easily dodge such an action.

However, the talismans cast by the several disciples can automatically target enemies.

No matter how fast you move, you can't dodge it.

Helpless, Zhou Qing could only press the girl's badge, and two buttons for mundane arts popped up: [Insightful Eye] and [Hidden Universe in the Sleeve].

Without hesitation, Zhou Qing selected "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve".

After learning this traditional dish, the girl used it as a portable storage space.

However, Zhou Qing was usually bored and had some unique insights into the use of this common skill, developing some strange and unusual applications.

Activating this mundane technique consumes far more divine power than the Eye of Wisdom, and its potential for growth and usefulness should also be greater than that of the Eye of Wisdom.

This is the first use Zhou Qing has developed: a shield.

Aiming at the flying talisman, [Sleeve Universe] was used, and the talisman, surging with immense power, was instantly absorbed into the void and disappeared.

Zhou Qing glanced at the combat notification next to him.

[You used the "Hidden Universe in Your Sleeve" technique to easily block the talisman used by the Fa Sect. The six disciples looked at you with extremely strange expressions.]

[However, the Immortal Master's Hall was a sacred site of the Dharma Sect, and the group only hesitated for a moment before attacking again. The statue of the Six Ren Immortal Master standing tall within the hall now exuded an astonishing pressure, and a faint, murmuring voice rang out.]

[You have been affected by the site effect: The Celestial Master's Whisper.]

The next moment, the rousing battle drumbeats in Zhou Qing's ears slowed down, and eerie music began to play. The statues in the Immortal Master's Hall emitted a glow, and then a check popped up instantly.

The Immortal Master's Whisper:

A mental health test (level 10) is required; failure will result in a short period of mental confusion.

The verification popped up almost instantly.

At that moment, the badges of the six protégés began to move across the battlefield, surrounding Li Qinghe and attacking him.

Zhou Qing felt flustered and hurriedly took the dice cup from the prop table.

Li Qinghe's dice only have a range of 1-6, and her mental attribute is only 3 points.

Even if you roll the highest number, you can't pass the check, so you have to add your own dice.

At this point, Zhou Qing had no choice but to pass this check first, otherwise he would be unable to turn the tide if he was controlled.

Add your own fate dice, and soon you roll a number five or seven.

With the original three points of mental strength added, a total of fifteen points were accumulated, and the test was passed.

However, during the inspection, six of his disciples approached and launched an attack.

Zhou Qing dragged the badge again, dodging most of the attacks, but several attacks still landed on Li Qinghe's badge, causing her to lose a small portion of her health.

Continuing to play like this will put us at a disadvantage.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qing once again activated the mundane skill, "Insightful Eyes."

We must speed up the pace of the battle, otherwise we will easily be slowly worn down and killed.

If you still can't gain an advantage after using this common trick, you can only use the knife coins on the nearby prop table.

Physical strength alone is unlikely to resolve the battle quickly in the current situation, and may even attract more followers, creating a more complicated situation.

The power of the piercing eye twisted once again upon a badge.

Bang!

The badge exploded instantly, scattering countless droplets of blood mist, and a large portion of the health bar went black.

Although it wasn't immediately destroyed, its size has shrunk considerably.

Having used his two trump cards, Zhou Qing was preparing to fight and retreat, first leaving the area of ​​the Immortal Master's Palace. Unexpectedly, the six disciples dispersed again and stopped their attack.

The direct disciple of the Liu Ren divination school hesitated slightly, a thought of retreat arising in his mind, and requested to negotiate.

[Some of them with sharp eyes recognized you and knew that you were not a member of the Huang family; there was no irreconcilable conflict between them.]

Should we accept negotiations with them?

【whether】

[Note: Your current choice will unlock a faction path, allowing you to join the "Celestial Master's Mystic Arts - Six Ren Divination" faction. Please choose carefully.]

Zhou Qing glanced at the two mundane techniques; they were still on cooldown and would probably be unusable again in a while.

There's nothing wrong with talking to them.

Of course, it would be ideal if one could take advantage of the negotiation to eliminate one or two people instantly. As for joining the Liuren divination sect, that's even more impossible.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath and immediately selected "Yes".

……

Inside the Immortal Master's Hall.

The fierce battle shattered the surrounding furnishings.

The solemn statue in the center no longer radiated divine light, and the whispers that filled the room came to an abrupt end.

A disciple's chest was blasted open by the Insightful Eye, and blood was gushing out.

"Yin and Yang in harmony, water and fire in convergence."

As the disciple was about to pass away, the other disciples chanted in unison.

The next moment, her body suddenly turned into a pool of clear water and flowed into the body of another disciple in the Immortal Palace.

Under the discerning eye, the two exuded the same aura.

After they merged into one, the disciple's aura rapidly weakened, and his face turned pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

The art of Yin and Yang merging!

This is a secret folk art from the Liuren Fajiao sect, and it is also a means for each of the personally taught disciples to save their lives in critical moments.

Inside the main hall, Pang Ziyue looked at the familiar-looking girl in front of her and was so shocked that she could hardly believe her eyes.

She has an excellent memory.

Not long ago, the girl was just an ordinary person with some superhuman strength but no extraordinary abilities.

They may have some talent, but without the guidance of a master and sufficient opportunities, it is absolutely impossible for them to embark on the path of cultivation.

But now the opponent is able to withstand the attack of six people with ease, and is unharmed even when facing the attack of the Celestial Master's statue. He even used this strange attack technique to blow up their Dharma bodies.

Zhang Tan, standing next to Pang Ziyue, was equally incredulous.

He had more contact with Li Qinghe and was more familiar with her. She was just an ordinary girl in Huangshui Town before, but now she could suppress six of her disciples!

Is this even reasonable?
