The male supporting character was actually myself.

Most of the Celestial Masters of Blood Sun Mountain were caught off guard and were instantly torn to shreds and devoured by the evil spirits that rushed out.

The talismans pleading for help exploded one by one, only to be engulfed by the yin energy.

The nearby villages also suffered, and many people became food for the evil spirits before they could even scream.

The aura that erupted was so strong that even I didn't dare to step forward easily!

It should be understood that most evil spirits in the underworld are irrational; they only follow their instincts to devour and strengthen themselves.

An outcast like me could no longer survive in that environment.

The incident happened so suddenly that I only had time to rescue three children who were playing in the field, and then I carried them away as we ran.

after that……

I saw the Celestial Masters of the Celestial Masters Sect break through the air and rush in, hastily forming a magic array... but no one ever came out again.

The battle against the evil spirits lasted for three days and two nights.

Nearby villages were razed to the ground, Blood Sun Mountain was littered with corpses, and spirit cores rolled all over the ground.

Ultimately, the Celestial Masters sect paid a heavy price to suppress the evil spirit, and used various high-level magical artifacts to repair the rift between the two realms.

The evil spirit behind the door let out a heavy sigh, "Only they know exactly how many people from the Celestial Masters Sect died. The first Celestial Masters who rushed in were all gone without a trace, and Blood Sun Mountain has been a desolate mountain ever since."

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the only survivors were the three children I had taken with me.

They were taken in by the Celestial Masters Sect and no one knows where they were sent.

Hopefully, that disaster won't leave a shadow in their hearts.

Young man, although I don't know why you asked about Blood Sun Mountain, I advise you to stay away from that Feng Rui.

He's gone mad!

Back then, Feng Rui was the personal disciple of the Blood Sun Mountain Sect Master and should have become the next Blood Sun Mountain Sect Master.

But when he went out of the mountains to eliminate evil spirits, his entire sect was wiped out upon his return, which shows how devastating the blow was.

The evil spirits avoid him like the plague; you'll likely have a very difficult time finding him.

"Thank you for your guidance." After expressing his gratitude, Jiang Chen asked, "Should I pay you the reward directly? What does 'equivalent to a level four spirit core' mean?"

An old, hoarse voice came from behind the door, "Any rare items dropped when clearing out evil spirits, as long as they are level four, are acceptable."

"Is spirit food made from a level six spirit core acceptable?"

"Spiritual food?" The evil spirit paused for a moment upon hearing this word, then almost threw itself against the door, excitedly saying, "You have spiritual food? This... of course!"

The methods for making elixirs from a century ago have long been lost. Do you really possess them?

Once it was confirmed that it was okay, Jiang Chen had the little white cat put the level 6 spirit core into the food maker and clicked to make three spirit foods that looked like preserved eggs.

"Host, I've put it in your pocket for you!" After finishing his work, Xiaobai squatted on his host's shoulder and continued playing the game.

Jiang Chen reached into his pocket and took out three egg-shaped spiritual foods, placing them on the table. "You can inspect the goods first."

"Gurgle!"

The sound of swallowing saliva was undisguised. The sliding door opened a crack, and a withered, vine-like, thin claw reached out from behind, snatched the food, and slammed the door shut.

"It smells so good! It really is spiritual food! It smells so good..." The evil spirit's murmurs and sniffling sounds mingled together, sounding somewhat greedy.

A few seconds later, the evil spirit spoke, "I apologize for making you laugh, young man."

If we want to remain rational, we must not devour the spirit core or corrupt the soul.

Although not eating won't have any effect, it's hard to resist the urge to eat.

A hundred years ago, there were also Taoist priests who made and sold spiritual food.

Although the price is a bit higher, it tastes good; and secondly, evil spirits can gain energy by eating spiritual food over a long period of time, and may even break through their level.

Unfortunately, it is said that the last Taoist master who knew how to make spiritual food kept the secret recipe to himself, but he died unexpectedly and the skill was not passed down.

After all these years, I can finally taste the flavor of spiritual food again!

Young man, leave me your contact information.

If you'd like to sell your homemade spiritual food, we can help you find a market, and the price will be absolutely right!

Before he could finish speaking, the sliding door opened a crack again.

Its claws, like withered vines, reached out, holding an open phone with a QR code for adding friends.

Jiang Chen: ...

Across the internet, it's impossible to definitively say whether your teammates are human or dog.

Who the hell knows if their teammate is an evil spirit?!

"Host, I suddenly don't think these evil spirits are so scary after all," Xiao Bai muttered to himself, staring at the other person's phone. "Maybe we can even team up and play games together!"

After adding each other as friends, Jiang Chen got up to leave.

The evil spirit pressed on, "Young man, can you tell me why you're looking for information about Blood Sun Mountain? I have a lot of information here, and perhaps there's something you need!"

Jiang Chen paused slightly as he opened the door. "My parents were among the first batch of Celestial Masters who went in and never came out."

"Huh?" A commotion came from behind the sliding door. The evil spirit said urgently, "Descendant of the fallen Celestial Master, this... I can't accept this reward!"

You have the right to know what happened at the time.

Young man, your parents protected the human world; they are great…

Jiang Chen opened the door and waved his hand, saying, "Equivalent exchange is fair."

If you have any further information or needs, please feel free to contact me.

The squad leader waited diligently at the door, and when he came out, he asked enthusiastically, "How was it? Are you satisfied? Boss, our Celestial Master Sect's internal app has posted another high-value bounty. Would you like to take a look?"

"lead the way."

Sitting in the car, Jiang Chen closed his eyes to rest and mentally reviewed the two versions of the plot before the update.

In the first version, various plot points were intertwined, but the theme of "bad luck" remained the same.

As the female protagonist of a supernatural story, Yuan Xuefei has a special constitution, meaning that pots and pans fall from the sky while she is at home.

Evil spirits constantly come to harass her, and she and the evil spirit girl Jin Nian are always at odds. The two of them are prone to turning evil and becoming demonic, which directly leads to a tragic ending.

However, the two girls made a contractual deal by mistake, and after taking the first step towards cooperation, the script was updated.

The new plot revolves around the fusion of the two souls, and various evil spirits continue to invade, causing their fusion to deepen, with each becoming intertwined with the other, influencing one another and affecting the whole, and a slight misstep could lead to a tragic ending.

When the protagonist deviates from the original owner's saintly, naive persona and begins to address the root cause of her sister's school bullying, a hidden storyline is triggered.

Based on the investigation, aside from a slight coincidence, there seems to be nothing strange about it.

According to the information provided by the evil spirit, Feng Rui was deeply obsessed with eliminating the evil spirit due to the stimulation, so it is understandable that he asked Wu Qifan to cooperate with Yuan Xuefei to capture the evil spirit.

After all, it's not surprising that a crazy person would act somewhat extremely.

The Blood Sun Mountain incident... Is it really that simple?

Chapter Seventeen: The Gates of Hell Are About to Open

After clearing out a level 3 minor evil spirit, Jiang Chen asked the squad leader to take him to the bookstore to buy a bunch of books. Almost a whole day passed by, and he just got home when his younger sister came home from school.

"Brother, are you alright?" Yuan Xuefei stepped forward to help him with his things, and said with concern, "I heard that you were called away by the director of the teaching affairs office and didn't attend class all day!"

Did I make you write a self-criticism as punishment?

Did Director Luo lock you up for a day?

Did you have lunch?

Hey? Why did you buy so many books? These are all…

"Self-Control: From Beginner to Giving Up", "Three Years of Healing, Five Years of Life Meaning", "Emotional Self-Help", "Embracing the Sunshine and Being Positive"...

The colorful books left Yuan Xuefei a little bewildered. "Brother, you want to study psychology?"

"Oh no, these are all for Jin Nian to see."

Jin Nian, who was curled up on the sofa engrossed in a domineering CEO drama: ? ? ?

Reading?

What books should I read?

Why should an evil spirit like me read books?

Jiang Chen solemnly handed a stack of books to Jin Nian and said earnestly, "From today onwards, Fei Fei will read these books to you. There's a famous saying: 'Books are the ladder of human progress.'"

Many people have condensed their life experiences into books, sometimes in just a few sentences.

In this age of information overload, you also have the opportunity to absorb a wealth of experience and find meaning in your own spiritual life.

A life without faith is pathetic; the soul will fall into depravity.

As an evil spirit, you are the same. If you cannot find meaning in your spiritual life and have no spiritual support, all kinds of instinctive temptations will fill your heart during your long spiritual life, eventually dragging you into the abyss of depravity.

Reading, thinking, and understanding principles are essential to learning to control your desires; only then can you truly master yourself instead of relying on instinct.

Jin Nian looked completely bewildered, with question marks constantly popping up above her head.

“Brother, you’ve thought this through so well!” Yuan Xuefei agreed. “Jin Nian, I’ll set aside time every day to read and discuss things with you, so you can live a better life in this world and stop living aimlessly.”

"I'm not just drifting through life; watching TV every day is quite interesting!"

“But you can’t watch TV dramas forever,” Jiang Chen prompted. “Besides, our lifespans are limited. What will you do when we all die of old age?”

Jin Nian waved his hand dismissively and said, "I can share my endless lifespan with you. As long as I don't do anything reckless and provoke the Celestial Master to the point of being beaten to death, the three of us can live a happy and blissful life forever!"

“That sounds really good.” Yuan Xuefei smiled slightly, shaking the book in her hand. “But if you learn human writing, you can read a lot of wonderful novels, and the TV series you watch are adapted from novels.”

I've read the original novel; it's much better than the TV series!

"Really?" Jin Nian was immediately intrigued. She flipped through the book, looking at the Chinese characters with some difficulty. "It seems quite difficult..."

Yuan Xuefei hugged her from behind and pushed her forward, saying, "I'll teach you, it's not difficult at all! You're so smart, you've learned to use so many new and interesting things in less than a day, learning to read will definitely be a piece of cake for you!"

The two girls chatted and laughed as they carried a pile of books to the study.

Jiang Chen took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen, closed the door, and pretended to cook.
