Suffered

Changfeng secretly thought to herself that things were not good. If the other party hadn't said that, it would have been fine. But because she said it, Ye Mingqiu would definitely pay more attention to the conversation. After all, he wasn't a local who knew nothing; he was a psionicist.

After a brief struggle, he noticed the girl's gaze growing increasingly impatient, so he retorted in a desperate manner, "The Blue Demon is very strong. It's currently impossible to determine whether he's human or a Red Hidden One. He can easily kill ordinary Red Hidden Ones, and his killing intent is enough to make them beg for mercy. I witnessed that myself."

This feels kind of familiar.

Ye Mingqiu frowned slightly, picked up his coffee and continued to sip it silently.

"Level prediction".

"S-level or above".

"I'll go survey the location where it appeared."

"North District Machinery Factory".

"it is good."

The silver-haired girl stood up and walked out of the coffee shop without hesitation, continuing to blow bubbles nonchalantly, as if the S-class and above that Changfeng mentioned posed no threat to her whatsoever.

In the back corner, Ye Mingqiu was quietly drinking coffee, feeling an urge to corner Changfeng in the alley and give him a good scolding.

"Dong dong!"

Just as he was thinking this, there was a knock on the transparent glass next to him. Ye Mingqiu looked up in confusion and saw that the silver-haired girl was standing outside the coffee shop, basking in the sunlight, smiling and waving at him, as if she was signaling him to come out.

Ok?

What does she want to do?

Ye Mingqiu didn't know what the other party was thinking, but being able to communicate with a superhuman in this world was a good thing in itself. If he could get more information from it, he could also gain more benefits, which was great.

So he finished his coffee and followed them out of the coffee shop.

In the alley

"Peng!"

The silver-haired girl planted her huge backpack on the ground, leaned against it, and asked with a smile, "Hey, do you know why I called you out?"

"do not know."

"Heh, still being stubborn. You have a very strong blood energy aura on you. It's impossible for a normal person to have so much blood energy on them," the silver-haired girl said with a smile.

"What, you doubt that I am the Crimson Hermit?"

Ye Mingqiu appeared casual, seemingly full of openings, but in reality, he was ready for battle at any moment.

“Of course not. Crimson Hermits can’t drink coffee like you. They have a blood curse and can’t eat any ordinary food unless you are a Crimson Supreme, but that’s impossible,” the silver-haired girl said.

"Then why did you contact me?"

“I’m looking for someone to take the risk with. You have a strong aura of blood energy, which means you must have killed a lot of Crimson Hidden Ones recently, or even a powerful one. You are very strong, stronger than that guy, so I’ve chosen to travel with you.”

The silver-haired girl smiled, casually spat the bubble gum in her mouth into the nearby trash heap, and then took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her mouth.

Is it really just that?

Ye Mingqiu maintained a certain level of skepticism and vigilance. Anything could happen when exploring the spirit world, and staying alert at all times was the most basic thing.

He thought for a moment and said, "I've seen you before."

"Oh?"

"Give."

Ye Mingqiu reached into his pocket, took out a photo of the Bloodstained Butcher from his storage space, and handed it to the girl.

The silver-haired woman took the photo, her previously casual gaze instantly turning serious. She flipped the photo over to the other side and demanded, "Where did you find this thing?!"

"When the Red Hermit was killed."

"."

She paused briefly, then asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Where is the owner of the photo?"

"Killed by the Crimson Hermit."

"Phew~ Was he killed by the Crimson Hermit?"

The silver-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief, gently biting her lip as she looked at the crooked handwriting on the back of the photo. Her eyes flickered, and there seemed to be tears welling up in them, but she only said, "That's good. That's good."

She accepted the photo, took the lollipop out of her mouth, stepped forward, and extended her hand, saying, "Pure Flame Society, Silver Princess, please take care of me."

[Hint: Silver Princess's affection level +50]

Current favorability rating: Friendly

Ye Mingqiu shook hands with him, gently shook him, and said, "I am the Divine Lord, please give me your guidance."

Yin Ji popped the lollipop into her mouth again and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have some kind of connection with Ao Oni, right?"

"reason."

“When you were talking to me just now, Changfeng seemed a bit off. There was no one else in the coffee shop, so I guess it’s related to you. You must have some kind of connection with Qinggui, or you might even be Qinggui himself,” Yin Ji replied.

"How perceptive."

Ye Mingqiu exclaimed in admiration.

Yin Ji may seem carefree and reckless, disregarding the feelings of others, but she is actually very careful and meticulous. She can observe every detail and deduce the answer from it. She is a bold yet meticulous person.

"so?"

"If the Blue Demon refers to the powerful figure Changfeng encountered at the machine factory, then it is me."

"Alright, mission accomplished!"

Yin Ji smiled brightly, stretched casually, revealing her perfect curves, picked up the large bag on her back, and continued, "Did you get anything good? If so, you can trade with me."

A deal?

Ye Mingqiu instinctively wanted to take out the Blood Butcher's Notes from his storage space, but ultimately gave up. He had more than one chance to make a deal, and it would be too cruel to trade with her using the notes.

It's the world's fault

"Money, is that okay?"

"Sorry, I don't need the money."

Yin Ji shrugged, but then smiled mischievously and said, "However, in light of the photo from earlier, I can sell you something good at a low price that you can use when you're looking for the Crimson Hermit."

White Flame Earrings

Rank: First Rank

Quality: Bronze

Type: jewelry

Equipment effect: Spirit +2, Agility +1

Additional skill: Energy Perception

Skill effect: Consumes 10 points of spiritual energy to activate a wide-range spiritual energy perception, which can sense the magnitude of energy fluctuations on surrounding targets. The higher the spiritual energy, the more obvious the perception.

It's a detection device!

Ye Mingqiu's eyes lit up. This was a good thing. Early detection abilities were hard to come by. Although he could learn detection techniques through general skills later, Ye Mingqiu didn't want to waste his general skill slot.

He prefers to learn combat skills rather than detection skills. Anything that can improve his strength is what he likes. As for detection abilities, he'll leave that to his equipment.

However, this equipment skill is rather mediocre. It can only sense energy intensity and cannot specifically sense attributes, which is far inferior to detection techniques. However, since this skill is for group detection, it is not unacceptable.

After all, this is the early stage. How strong can you expect a bronze-level equipment to be? The effect of just improving basic attributes is already quite good.

"how much is it?"

"One million, no bargaining."

"make a deal."

Ye Mingqiu readily paid the money. In any case, he couldn't take the currency out of this world anyway, so using it to buy bronze-level equipment was a huge profit.

After taking the White Flame Earring from Yin Ji, Ye Mingqiu chose to wear it directly. The increase of 1 point in Agility and 2 points in Spirit made him feel great. His body felt lighter and his spirit was more abundant.

"By the way, you're from the Pure Flame Society, so you should be in charge of missions related to the Crimson Shadows, right? Is there any hunting down of the Crimson Shadows that I can help you with?"

"why?"

"Because I like fighting."

One day later, inside the unfinished building

The blood spear pierced the Crimson Hermit's throat once more, and the dead Crimson Hermit turned into black fragments scattered all over the ground.

"What a monster."

Silver Princess's numb whisper.

There were thirty-seven Crimson Hermits inside the unfinished building, but they were powerless against the heavily armored man wielding a blood spear, and were hunted down one-sidedly, just like ordinary people encountering Crimson Hermits.

Actually, this was an accident. The information from the Pure Flame Society said that there were only three Crimson Hermits here, but in fact there were thirty-seven. Perhaps something happened within the Crimson Hermits, causing a large number of them to gather.

Yin Ji walked through the unfinished building, carefully observing the details of the interior layout. Then she said, "The blood energy reaction is abnormal. It is suspected that a higher-level Crimson Hermit has appeared here. Be careful. The other party's aura has not completely disappeared. They may not have gone far yet."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu nodded and asked, "Approximately in which direction is it, and how far away is it?"

Could it be that he's planning to chase after them?

Yin Ji's eyes flickered as she replied, "Northwest. The distance is uncertain, but the level is at least S-rank or higher. It's not something these small fry can compare to. Don't let your guard down."

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu responded.

During this period of battle, he also asked Yin Ji some questions about the ranking of Red Hidden Ones in this world. Ordinary Red Hidden Ones are ranked B, weak Red Hidden Ones are ranked C, extremely weak ones are ranked D, and powerful Red Hidden Ones are ranked A.

S-rank Red Hidden Ones are beings so strong that they seem to belong to a completely different species from ordinary Red Hidden Ones. They possess exceptionally powerful strength and are characterized by the following features.

① It possesses incredibly strong vitality; even if its skull is shattered or its heart is pierced, it will not die and can even recover from its injuries in a short period of time.

② Skin color: The skin of S-rank Crimson Shadows is closer to black than the crimson muscles of ordinary Crimson Shadows. Their skin will appear as a dark brown like solidified magma, and at the same time, it will emit a scarlet glow.

③ Blood Energy Utilization: S-rank Crimson Shadows can actively utilize blood energy to a certain extent, manifesting in various forms, such as constructing weapons for attack, forming energy armor, or creating energy projectiles or other types. In short, the types are quite diverse.

An S-rank Crimson Hermit is on a completely different level from an ordinary Crimson Hermit.

Ye Mingqiu turned his gaze to the northwest. The blood spear seemed to be pulsating with life. A crimson power flowed from Ye Mingqiu's arm, which was gripping the blood spear, into his body, giving off a refreshing feeling.

[Note: The Blood Spear has replenished you with pure life energy, increasing your maximum health by 20]

Life: 904

With his maximum lifespan increased again, Ye Mingqiu's strength also increased. Although ordinary Crimson Hermits contain less boiling blood and blood energy, they can still improve some attributes after being refined by the Blood Spear.

Furthermore, the attack power of the Blood Spear itself has increased by 2 points, making it even more powerful.

Although the descriptions in the Spirit Realm state that the Blood Spear can only be enhanced and its attributes strengthened through Blood Crystals, this is not actually the case. Perhaps it is because the Crimson Hermits of this world also possess blood-based energy, and the power of Boiling Blood Source Blood belongs to the lower level of Blood Crystals, so the Blood Spear can strengthen itself by absorbing its energy.

Inside the unfinished building, a chilling wind blew. Ye Mingqiu used his 20-point spirit power and the White Flame Earring to probe, and the world before him suddenly changed.

He felt as if he had opened a second pair of eyes, gaining the ability to observe energy. The traces of crimson energy were incredibly clear in his second field of vision, and he followed the direction Silver Princess pointed to, looking northwest, and spotted a cluster of blood energy not far away.

The energy was enormous, far exceeding that of ordinary Crimson Hermits, but Ye Mingqiu did not back down; instead, he revealed a look of great interest.

He asked, "Hey, Silver Princess, if I can kill the S-rank Crimson Hermit, will you be my referrer and help me join the Pure Flame Society?"

"of course."

Yin Ji gave an affirmative answer.

Throughout the battles, she gradually came to understand this man. He was a battle maniac, craving combat and intense battles. Fighting ordinary Crimson Shadows could not satisfy his desires, and he had asked more than once if there were any missions related to S-rank Crimson Shadows.

This guy... he really only wants to fight. He probably joined the Pure Flame Society just to get information about the Crimson Hidden Ones so he can keep fighting at an even higher intensity.
