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

"Whoosh!"

Almost instinctively, Shen Qing swung his right hand, but it passed right through the distorted phantom beside him.

The other party is perfectly fine.

【煞气缠】 (Sha Qi Chan) restrains the soul, but the phantom in front of me seems to be a combination of yin energy and resentment.

They are evil spirits themselves, how could they be afraid of evil spirits?

"They pose no threat."

Shen Qingtang thought for a moment and explained, "This is the Realm of Evil Thoughts, where there are ghosts and monsters, and it's easy to get lost."

However, this lantern can guide our way and reduce the chances of us being discovered by ghosts, but we can't go too far.

"The Realm of Evil Thoughts?"

Shen Qing repeated it, staring blankly at the paper lantern in the heroine's hand that emitted a faint green light.

This place didn't sound like a good place at all. There was no time to ask Shen Qingtang why she knew about this place; there were more important things to do now.

"How do we get out?"

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze was suddenly drawn to something not far away.

It was a blade of grass with slender leaves and a faint shimmer at the edges, making it quite conspicuous in this dim world.

"Herbal herbs imbued with spiritual energy?"

Shen Qing glanced around and, while not exactly ubiquitous, he spotted at least three or four plants radiating spiritual energy within a hundred meters.

He had never seen the real thing in the real world; he had only been told about it through popular science.

Shen Qing's heart began to race.

Why haven't I seen them? It's because they're scarce. What the real world lacks most are various cultivation resources, such as herbs containing spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy has only just begun to recover, and there isn't enough to create more supernatural beings, so naturally there won't be many cultivation resources.

Even the lowest grade F-level pill is not cheap.

What kind of ability does this female warrior possess?!

Patting his cheeks, Shen Qing calmed himself down. He noticed that although the herb contained spiritual energy, it also contained an unpleasant aura.

"Are you interested in that blade of grass?"

Beside her, Shen Qingtang noticed Shen Qing's gaze. "Those are just ordinary weeds that have absorbed spiritual energy. They might be of some use to ordinary people, but they are useless to those with supernatural powers."

Moreover, it is also covered with various resentments, malevolent energy, and evil thoughts, which need to be cleansed first.

Shen Qingtang seems to understand this world very well.

Shen Qing nodded; he suddenly wanted to explore this world some more.

"This paper lantern will guide us and prevent us from being discovered by the ghosts and monsters here, right?"

Shen Qingtang nodded. "It's fine to explore only the outermost part. This lantern can only confuse these remnant souls for now, since they don't have much strength to begin with."

But the real monsters are probably those whose power I lack…”

"A real ghost?"

Shen Qing was taken aback. "Like that one?"

In my line of sight, a dark green flame was rapidly expanding—it was a horse.

Its entire body was engulfed in flames, and it moved along the flames on all four hooves without making a sound. The surrounding phantoms all gave way.

However, his aura was quite obvious.

"So what if it's only a ninth-rank monster?"

【煞气缠】cannot subdue this kind of evil spirit, but 【辰砂血】does not have such a limitation.

A sharp pain shot through his arm, and Shen Qing didn't hesitate to cut his arm, his fists becoming covered in the thick, fragrant blood.

Looking up, the eerie green flame was already within reach.

Gui Ma was incredibly fast, reaching Shen Qing in just a few breaths. Just as they were about to collide, Shen Qing sidestepped and threw a punch.

This time it didn't feel like hitting thin air; it felt real. However, the ghost without a physical body wasn't dealt with directly.

The moment the cinnabar blood came into contact with it, it made a sizzling sound.

Guima let out a painful neigh and suddenly raised its legs to kick Shen Qing. The eerie green flames seemed to scorch the soul.

Instead of retreating, Shen Qing advanced and grabbed a horse's leg, making a hissing sound.

Taking advantage of its neighing, he used a back throw to forcefully slam the devilish horse to the ground, and then his blood-stained fists pounded down repeatedly.

Each punch was accompanied by a sizzling sound and a groan of pain from the ghostly creature.

Its body began to disintegrate, then exploded, sending green sparks flying everywhere.

[Slay demons and monsters, obtain the entry "Hooffire Mark (Green - Side Story)"]

[Hooffire Mark: A silent, fiery blaze in the dark of night. It can summon a ghostly horse to ride; it neither drinks nor eats, and weakens at dawn. Where its hooves tread, ghostly fire explodes, and evil spirits retreat.]

"Summoning-related terms?"

Shen Qing was taken aback. This entry really had everything. She just didn't know how fast it was.

With a thought, a faint green light condensed in front of him.

It transformed into a ghostly horse engulfed in flames and equipped with its own saddle and other horse gear. It neighed and lowered its head toward Shen Qing.

This immediately piqued Shen Qingtang's curiosity.

Shen Qing swiftly mounted his horse and suddenly said, "Want to go for a ride? We're in the vicinity."

Seeing Shen Qing's outstretched hand, the female warrior instinctively did not refuse.

She grasped Shen Qing's hand, stepped into the stirrup with her right foot, and with a quick movement, nimbly flipped herself onto the horse's back.

Then, things got awkward.

Shen Qing couldn't ride a horse, but fortunately, the female warrior was a bodyguard, so riding a horse was no problem for her.

The posture just doesn't feel right. In TV shows, the girls are always sitting in front, aren't they?

Moreover, the female warrior reached out from behind him to hold the reins, inevitably shortening the distance between them.

A soft touch came over me.

Shen Qing's body stiffened, and he realized that this posture was even more awkward than he had imagined.

However, Shen Qingtang seemed to have a great interest in horseback riding and was completely unaware of this.

"drive!"

She gave a soft shout, and with a slight squeeze of her legs against the horse's belly, the ghost horse instantly transformed into a ball of eerie green fire and vanished from the spot.

In just a few breaths, he had circled the entire neighborhood.

"I estimate the speed at this point is around 100 kilometers per hour?"

To prevent herself from overthinking, Shen Qing made some plans in her mind.

This speed is comparable to that of a car, and most importantly, it doesn't drink water or eat grass, so wouldn't it be able to run forever?

Although it will be affected during the day, it's already quite severe.

Moreover, a warhorse engulfed in flames looks cooler than a sports car, but it's a bit of a shame that it can't be run on the streets right now.

Shen Qingtang gently pulled the reins, and the quirky horse slowed down and gradually came to a stop. Although the hand holding the reins seemed reluctant to let go, it took a while before it finally released its grip.

As soon as the female warrior dismounted, the surrounding scenery began to fade away, and the living room returned to its original state.

If it weren't for the fact that the quirky horse that had been sitting down hadn't disappeared yet, everything just now would have seemed like an illusion.

Fortunately, the flames harmed the soul, but had no effect on the physical floor.

"The Realm of Evil Thoughts, cultivation resources..."

Shen Qing dismounted and put away the ghost horse. He sat on the sofa and began to think. This situation had to be reported; it was extremely important.

Neither the importance of the resources nor the dangers involved make it suitable for individual exploration.

Just as he was pondering, Shen Qingtang's voice suddenly rang out.

"I want to truly understand this world."

Shen Qing snapped out of her reverie and met the female warrior's gaze. She asked earnestly, "Is it alright?"

"Understanding this world?"

Shen Qing replied without hesitation, "You mean you want to go out for a walk? Of course you can, I haven't really restricted your movements."

If it's just a little further away, an ID card is required... We need to find a solution; perhaps reporting it to higher authorities is the most appropriate course of action.

Your situation isn't that unusual, and your living conditions are definitely better than mine, although I personally would welcome you...

He froze at this point.

The report is above.

This idea used to be fleeting, but now it's become clear.

Looking at Shen Qingtang, Shen Qing's expression turned serious, and he nodded.

"it is good."
