As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

Having confirmed that the demon in front of him was finally dead, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and slumped onto the sofa behind him. A panel that no one else could see appeared in his field of vision.

Name: Shen Qing

[Cultivation Level]: Early Stage of Ninth Rank (Body Tempering)

[Entry]: Power of Stone Lock (White), Soul Stabilization (Green), Spiritual Root Absorption (Green)

[Karma Points]: 10

As a transmigrator, Shen Qing naturally possesses a cheat ability—hunting down demons and monsters allows him to plunder their traits and transform them into attributes to enhance himself.

From low to high, they are divided into five levels: mundane, strange tales, supernatural stories, legends, and myths. To put it simply, they are white, green, blue, purple, and gold.

[Soul Stabilization]: When the soul is at peace, the mind remains unshaken. Soul strength +30%, provides some resistance to mental attacks, and increases the chance of breaking through bottlenecks.

Having memories of two lifetimes and the existence of the entry, he naturally wouldn't be so easily seduced by the tree spirit.

Feeling the strange sensation that came from the soles of her feet after the demon died, Shen Qing shifted her gaze to the newly appeared entry.

[Absorbing Spiritual Roots]: When spiritual roots are newly formed, they are absorbed for use. Spiritual energy absorption speed increases by 50%. Contact with the earth allows for passive absorption of spiritual energy, approximately 30% faster than normal cultivation speed.

The sparse spiritual energy around him was actually flowing into his body on its own.

"Drawing spiritual roots...like trees taking root in the earth?"

Shen Qing murmured to himself, "Is this the function of the new entry? But now is not the time to study it."

"When will you pay me?"

He turned to look at the young man next to him who was still in a daze—Xie Chong, also an employee of "Ele.me Delivery," although the other was a full-time employee.

"If he wasn't a brother, why did you just kill him like that? And so brutally?"

Xie Chong finally came to his senses, approached with a look of disgust, and looked down at the unrecognizable corpse on the ground.

His face was completely disfigured; he had been beaten to death. Even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

The floor behind them cracked open, red liquid splattered everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of rotting vegetation.

Xie Chong clicked his tongue, never expecting a newcomer to be so fierce, not even afraid of demons.

Back when he first fought against demons, he spent a long time preparing himself mentally.

Shen Qing really has something to do, no, he really has money to burn!

"Isn't it normal for someone to pay with their life for a murderer?"

Shen Qing waved her hand dismissively, got up and walked towards the bathroom, "Although the person who got infected must have had some other motives."

But tree spirits are born with bewitching abilities, which are hard for ordinary people to resist; this is already the third one.

Xie Chong followed behind, still chattering on and on.

"What you said makes sense, but the boyfriend just asked you to check if his girlfriend was home."

And what did you do? You ended up killing someone's girlfriend with your actions. Tsk tsk.

He took out his phone and glanced at the order information.

"Ele.me Delivery" is indeed a food delivery and same-city courier service, but it is also true that it monitors, tracks, and even eliminates demons.

Shen Qing turned on the tap, washed the blood off her hands and face, shook off the water, and walked out of the bathroom.

"Ha, then he should thank me; I've helped him clear the minefield."

Xie Chong sighed helplessly, stuffed his phone back into his pocket, and said, "Alright, alright, at least the mission is accomplished. It's better than running away."

Otherwise, these plant-spirited demons, capable of concealing their presence, would be truly difficult to find; it took them a full five days!

This demon was killing people in his territory, which put him under a lot of pressure, but now it's finally resolved.

Xie Chong's tone became lighter as he patted Shen Qing on the shoulder.

"It was definitely the right decision to use you as bait. A demon like her, who sucks the life essence of people, has absolutely no resistance to a handsome man like you."

As he spoke, he looked Shen Qing up and down with a mocking expression.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall with long legs, and a handsome guy with a muscular physique when shirtless, damn, he was a little envious. Is this the advantage of physical abilities?

"Go away, praising me won't help."

Shen Qing waved her hand and rolled down her sleeve. "Isn't this the time when you guys were saying my physical abilities weren't good enough?"

Xie Chong quickly shook his head in denial, "That has nothing to do with me. It was a conclusion reached by a specialist at headquarters. I was just relaying it."

However, we can't blame the headquarters for having poor judgment.

A week ago, you were only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, barely reaching the edge of F-level. Now you've brutally killed a demon that was close to E-level.

Who could have predicted this? You hadn't changed much except for your physique.

He stroked his chin and added, "But it's a good thing for us. We'll scare them to death during the assessment."

Shen Qing didn't reply, absentmindedly glancing at the middle-aged man on the bed, whose face was withered and who was clearly dead long ago.

"Last time it was ghosts and monsters, this time it's demons and monsters. I'm afraid the situation will only get worse in the future."

Having been reincarnated for over twenty years, he only recently realized that this world was not simple, with extraordinary events beginning to appear in various places over the past few years.

My memories of my past life are hazy. I only remember that one night shift I was working when I saw someone fall into the water, and in a moment of impulsiveness, I jumped in.

As a result, he forgot that he couldn't swim, and when he woke up, he was a baby.

Relying on the memories of an extra life and a decent family background, he thought he would have a smooth life in this world similar to his previous one.

Perhaps he was a little too precocious, because before he even entered high school, he was a "prodigy who failed to live up to his potential." His two adoptive parents disappeared without a trace when he was just starting elementary school.

Having no other relatives, they had no choice but to live in an orphanage.

With the help of the government and my good older brother, I successfully completed my studies and then entered the company normally, working 996.

That's how it's normally done.

Until last week, on her way back from a job interview at a company, Shen Qing encountered a ghost.

Literally, it means a real ghost.

However, as the saying goes, people are afraid of ghosts three parts, and ghosts are afraid of people seven parts, especially those with vigorous blood and energy, who are in the prime of their youth.

Stimulated, he even awakened his innate ability [Stone Lock Power], and was subsequently recruited into an official supernatural organization called "Hummingbird Delivery".

Specialized in monitoring and tracking all kinds of extraordinary events.

With six insurances and two funds, a base salary of 15,000 yuan after probation, commission on tasks, and a formal employment status, only a fool wouldn't join.

Of course, the most important thing is that it can obtain information about demons.

A growing number of extraordinary events suggest that peaceful days may be gone forever.

If you lack the strength, this middle-aged man in front of you is a prime example. Since you can't avoid it, you can only face the challenge head-on and hunt down more demons.

Having a second chance, and still possessing a cheat code, there's no reason for them to remain dormant, especially since the circumstances don't allow it.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Remember to transfer the money."

Shen Qing shook her head and looked away. "I finally don't have to train today, but then we have a mission at this hour. I'm going to get nagged when I get back."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the room and downstairs.

Xie Chong was left with a headache, looking at the messy room in front of him. "Damn it, what a disloyal guy, running away like that?"

"Forget it, I'd better think about how to write the report when I get back."

He took out his phone again, "Hello, yes, Heping District Hotel, please send someone to handle this."

And then there's her boyfriend, who helped erase her memory. Finally, there's the reward for this mission, which Shen Qing completed himself…”

Xie Chong's voice faded into the distance.

At this moment, Shen Qing had already left the hotel. The night breeze blew in her face, carrying the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes from the street.

He glanced at his phone; it was 7:30. It was no longer possible to get back for dinner by 7:00.

"Hopefully this 'bribe' will save me from being nagged for a while."

Shen Qing looked up at the sweet potato stall across the street, jogged over, bought some sweet potatoes, and then hopped on her electric scooter to hurry home.

The electric vehicles weaved through the traffic and soon arrived at their destination.

Shen Qing parked the car and looked at the somewhat old building in front of him. His tense emotions relaxed for a moment, but then he became tense again.
