It turns out, they were the main characters.

Under normal circumstances, a cauldron can only hold a maximum of one Heavenly Dao Qi. If Mu Zhi'an were to forcibly attempt to refine a second Heavenly Dao Qi, no one knows what would happen.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled faintly: "Actually, Sister Lin Ling said before that she would give me the second Heavenly Dao Qi after the Ascension Conference. I think my cauldron should be different from others."

“You should know that too.” He smiled and looked at Wei Mengrou.

Wei Mengrou opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but when she looked into Mu Zhian's eyes, she fell into a strange silence.

After a while, Wei Mengrou said, "Don't push yourself too hard."

"I know what I'm doing," Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Then, he glanced around at the group, raised his hand, and opened his personal profile.

[Witch's Body: Born to be the protagonist of destiny, with a chance to start over every ten years - save current progress and reload] Current usage count: 2

You have two chances to save your game.

Because I reloaded the save file, the number of attempts also had to be reloaded...?

But wouldn't that be a bug?

Mu Zhian was unaware that while he was looking at his personal interface, the maid behind him was staring at him without saying a word.

After saving the game again, Mu Zhian turned around and looked at everyone, then smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble everyone to protect me."

Without a doubt, Wei Mengrou's Heavenly Dao Qi was somewhat strange; her Misfortune Body was only exposed after she refined the Heavenly Dao Qi.

In other words, as long as the person refining the Heavenly Dao Qi is not Wei Mengrou, the body of misfortune will not be exposed.

At least it won't be exposed in the martial arts world... That's what Mu Zhian thought.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Then, he sat cross-legged on the flying sword and tried to incorporate the Qi of Heaven into his own cauldron.

However, Mu Zhian clearly underestimated the difficulty of refining this Heavenly Dao Qi.

Just moments ago, the black aura of heavenly Dao was very friendly to Mu Zhian outside, but when it came to refining it into his body, it showed great resistance and refused to accept the refining no matter what.

Mu Zhian remained unmoved, keeping his eyes tightly closed, guiding the spiritual energy, and trying to 'drive' the Heavenly Dao Qi into his own cauldron.

Meanwhile, Lan Feiying, who was protecting the area outside, watched this scene. Her gaze inadvertently fell on Wei Mengrou, and she said softly, "Miss Wei, don't you mind? This is the aura of Heaven."

Wei Mengrou glanced at Mu Zhian and then slowly shook her head.

“I have no interest in the Qi of Heaven. If he wants it, I can give it to him. Besides…” Wei Mengrou paused, as if she wanted to say something.

"Besides?"

Wei Mengrou shook her head: "Never mind... it's nothing."

Besides, the young master probably doesn't really want the Heavenly Dao Qi.

The personal interface he just opened, and the description on the Witch's Body, are both very intriguing...

Time slips away silently.

Nearly fifteen minutes later, Ye Qian suddenly pointed to the air and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Mengrou, look at that!"

Wei Mengrou looked up slightly, and her gaze suddenly froze.

In the sky, thick, leaden clouds slowly gathered, with flashes of lightning seemingly appearing within them.

Boom!

A flash of lightning illuminated Wei Mengrou's cool and beautiful face.

Within the clouds, a jet-black beam of light silently descended from mid-air, pointing directly at Wei Mengrou!

"What is that...?" Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, looking at the somewhat ominous black pillar of light, her eyes filled with doubt.

Bai Ruoxi also stared at the black pillar of light, and after a brief moment of contemplation, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "A body of misfortune...?"

As if sensing something, Lan Mulian looked up and gazed at the area not far behind the dark pillar of light.

A golden image of a deity appeared silently in people's sight.

Gu Boxing.

……

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

This black Heavenly Dao Qi was much harder to refine than he had imagined. It had been very friendly to him when they were outside, but it seemed to be very resistant to being refined by him.

Even at the very end, Mu Zhian could only barely suppress the Heavenly Dao Qi within the cauldron.

However, it will probably take some time to refine it.

"Young Master Mu..." At this moment, a soft voice with a hint of hesitation suddenly came to my ears.

Mu Zhian turned his head slightly and saw the Holy Maiden of the World Sea. This beautiful woman in a blue dress had appeared here at some point and looked at him with a somewhat hesitant gaze.

Mu Zhian then realized that the people who had been protecting him just moments before were now gone.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhian asked.

Then, as he glanced at the pitted and uneven holes around him, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he calmly said:

"Gu Boxing has been here before?"

Tang Sufei glanced at Mu Zhian with a hint of surprise, then nodded and said, "He wanted to take Miss Wei to the Great Qian Dynasty. After Miss Lan cast an array to isolate you from the outside world, she went to stop him."

"However, given the combined power of a dynasty's faith, and the fact that he is currently suspected of being at the peak of the Void Returning stage, it will probably still be difficult to stop him..."

At this point, seeing Mu Zhian remain silent, Tang Sufei immediately comforted him, "After returning to the World Sea, I will explain this matter to the clan elders and ask them to ask for Miss Wei back."

However, after speaking, Mu Zhian remained silent, only lowering his head with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

It seems we have to refine the Heavenly Dao Qi before Gu Boxing arrives in the Martial World, and attract the 'Heavenly Dao's punishment' before Sister Mengrou does, right?

It wasn't that Wei Mengrou refined the Heavenly Dao Qi, which attracted Gu Boxing. Rather, it was because Wei Mengrou was about to enter the Returning to the Void Realm, and her increased strength drew the attention of the Heavenly Dao, which is why she attracted Gu Boxing!

The Qi of Heaven is an opportunity for the body of misfortune to be exposed!

"Young Master Mu—"

Tang Sufei seemed to want to say something more, but before she could finish speaking, Mu Zhian had already pressed the save/load option with a blank expression.

This time, he underestimated the difficulty of refining the Heavenly Dao Qi. Although Wei Mengrou's Heavenly Dao Qi was close to him, it refused to be refined by him.

If he could have refined this ominous aura of the Heavenly Dao earlier, he might have been able to attract Gu Boxing's attention before Wei Mengrou did.

……

After the sixth failure, Mu Zhian slowly exhaled. Even with his usual composure, he was somewhat affected at this moment.

The difficulty of refining the Heavenly Dao Qi was far greater than he had imagined. Every time he finished refining the Heavenly Dao Qi, Wei Mengrou's cursed body would already be exposed.

He needed to refine it faster... to refine this Heavenly Dao Qi within two incense sticks' time.

Therefore, more proficient skills are required.

The thirteenth time, Mu Zhian's refining speed was much, much faster than before. After the Heavenly Dao Qi was refined into his body, it stubbornly refused to enter the cauldron.

But when it dodged to the left, Mu Zhian's spiritual energy had already blocked it there, and when it dodged upwards, Mu Zhian had already controlled the spiritual energy to weave it into a net to intercept the Heavenly Dao Qi.

If he can refine this Heavenly Dao Qi before Wei Mengrou's cursed body is exposed, Gu Boxing will look for him, not Wei Mengrou.

This celestial energy itself symbolizes 'ominous'.

In this game, Mu Zhian is a pawn, but not a discarded one.

As long as he is the one with the 'misfortune body', he will be the winner.

This time, Mu Zhian came closest to success.

Mu Zhian carefully and quickly guided the Heavenly Dao Qi into his cauldron. Mu Zhian seemed to have anticipated every surge and movement of the Heavenly Dao Qi.

He used his spiritual energy to block the escape route of the Heavenly Dao Qi, allowing it to enter his cauldron as quickly as possible.

After nearly five minutes, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the yellow-clad maid in his field of vision, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this time it was finally a success.

His thoughts suddenly stopped, because he saw that the black beam of light in mid-air had enveloped Wei Mengrou at some point.

Then, a golden Dharma body appeared in sight.

He gazed indifferently in the direction of Mu Zhi'an, his gaze lingering on Wei Mengrou for a moment before finally settling on Mu Zhi'an.

Before he could speak, Mu Zhi'an smiled and said, "Young friend Mu, I would like to invite your maid to the Great Qian Dynasty. What do you think... Is that what you're asking me?"

Gu Boxing's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise in them.

Mind reading...?

How could that be... How could a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm possibly know his thoughts?

"How did you know?" he asked slowly.

Mu Zhian did not answer, but looked at the high and mighty golden Dharma image and showed a warm and friendly smile.

Then, he gently tapped the save/load option.

……

For the seventeenth time, Mu Zhian and the Heavenly Dao Qi engaged in a fierce battle. The Heavenly Dao Qi dodged to the left, but Mu Zhian's spiritual energy intercepted it half a second in advance. Then, the Heavenly Dao Qi tried to escape from its body, but Mu Zhian's spiritual energy was already waiting above.

Every step was perfectly anticipated, and compared to the previous dozen or so times, Mu Zhian did not waste a single moment this time.

In the end, the Heavenly Dao Qi seemed to yield as well, slowly seeping into Mu Zhian's body.

Lan Mulian, who was not far away, obviously noticed this scene as well. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she whispered, "How can he refine the Heavenly Dao Qi so quickly...?"

It has only been less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn since Mu Zhian began refining the Qi of Heaven.

Even she couldn't have refined the Heavenly Dao Qi in such a short time, let alone the Heavenly Dao Qi showing no sign of resistance from beginning to end.

Not only Lan Mulian, but the others also turned their gazes to the boy sitting cross-legged, each of them showing a degree of surprise.

At this moment, Wei Mengrou suddenly seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked up into the air.

boom!

A deep black beam of light silently descended.

Lan Feiying's eyes changed slightly, and she murmured to herself, "A body of misfortune...?"
