In the mist-heavy bathroom, Fang Qing kept her gaze straight ahead as she deftly removed her clothes and placed them several meters away.Then she pressed the button beneath the tool shaped like a lotus-pod showerhead.Warm water sprayed from the showerhead, and Fang Qing used it to wash the grime from her body.Feeling the comforting flow of water sliding across her hands, Fang Qing narrowed her eyes and thought.The cultivation world really did have some black-tech—when it came to creature comforts, cultivators weren’t lacking.After a moment, Fang Qing had rinsed away every trace of dirt. She then walked over to the nearby bath tub and sat down.Settling into the inviting warmth of the water, she felt its embrace soothe her entire body and thought with pleasure.泡澡才是洗澡最为精髓的事情。Immersed in the warm water, Fang Qing opened her Personal Panel to check how her strength had changed.实力评价：一阶圆满 法力值：380 力量：25 敏捷：24 体力：30 智力：18 魅力：17 当前暗黑能量储存量：1.8%个人功法名称：寂灭刀谱（功法篇） 等阶：七阶紫色 功法效果：法力值提升200点，可将寂灭真气附着与身体或武器上，提升其强度。 修习后可根据精深程度提升身体强度，当前提升强度为： 力量 12，敏捷 10，体力 18，智力 6，魅力 3 （注，此提升不计入个人属性） 当前真气特性为：死寂个人能力刀术类型：技巧类 当前等阶为：专家（技巧等阶分为八阶，专家位于第四阶） 当前专家等级为：3（等级分为1～10级） 提升近战能力72%，提升刀术类能力72%，提升刀类武器熟练度。 刀术一阶奥义：提升握刀力量，更难以被缴械。 刀术二阶奥义：握刀时，对于“气”的感知力提升，更容易引导“气”；对周围感知力提升。 刀术三阶奥义：刀术伤害阶位＋1。血气凝练法类型：秘法类 主动效果：可吸取控制生灵血气；可随意改变血气形态；可通过吸取血气来恢复生命力或提升生命力。 被动效果：提高肉体生命力，当前提升量为：0Ignoring entries that hadn’t changed, Fang Qing studied the panel she hadn’t looked at in ages. Back then, she’d been in too much of a hurry and only checked her talent, never scrolling further.Only now did she see the rank of the Juemie Dao Pu she’d cultivated all her life.The Juemie Dao Pu had been given to her by her parents: she’d practiced it from childhood until now. But she hadn’t expected its rank to be so high! Seven-tier—what did that mean?The blood-path cultivator she’d met before, Xue Dao, had been only third-tier, yet the Juemie Dao Pu she practiced was seventh-tier. She’d never met a seventh-tier practitioner, so she couldn’t pinpoint its strength precisely—but she knew it must be formidable!Now that she knew the rank of the Juemie Dao Pu, she could deduce her parents’ identity and fate.Fang Qing leaned back in the bath tub and recalled her past.She was, in fact, an orphan. But her birth parents must have had some conscience—they left her at the gate of an orphanage. She was raised by the director and grew up safely.When she was six, her adoptive parents took her in. They gave her a cultivation manual called the Juemie Dao Pu, and she had practiced it ever since. Her foster parents occasionally disappeared for periods of time, but she, raised by an orphanage, could live independently. She practiced the Juemie Dao Pu daily and read books when she had free time. That was her life—until one day.It was her fifteenth birthday. Her foster parents, though often absent, would never miss her birthday. But that day they didn’t show up. They must have had an accident—but she could celebrate alone. In the lonely darkness, she comforted herself.The next day, they still hadn’t returned. A month later, she broke through the bottleneck that had tormented her for so long and gained a huge increase in strength. Then she made up her mind: she would find them!She searched for two years but found no trace—until she encountered the man who invited her into the Holy Sanctuary. He had been locked in a death struggle with another Contracted Member and barely won. She seized the opportunity to ambush him…The memory ended. Fang Qing came back to the present and stared at the characters “七阶” on the Juemie Dao Pu. She finally understood who her foster parents must have been.They were surely Contracted Members of the Holy Sanctuary!So long as she grew strong enough, she would learn their fate and find them. To that end, she needed to complete the Sanctuary’s quests as quickly as possible and gain power! Because…Fang Qing dispelled that thought and resolved in her heart.They must still be alive! They must!…Looking into the mirror, Fang Qing sensed subtle changes in herself. First, some barely noticeable flaws on her face had vanished. Next, her skin seemed slightly paler. She had been very fair before, so the change was almost imperceptible—only her keen observation noticed.She shook her head, no longer caring. What good was beauty if it couldn’t help her grow stronger? It couldn’t! Better to cultivate, then!Fang Qing sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing while waiting for her hair to dry. The sky was still early; before sleeping, she would strive to train and improve her strength.…The next day, a rooster’s crow sounded like an alarm across countless homes. Fang Qing entered the Wugou Alliance’s task hall to pick up some quests and raise her power. The process needs no detail—given her persona, she easily selected the desired missions.After accepting them, she went to Gu Yuan’s residence. Her persona couldn’t slip—traveling with the World’s Progeny might yield unexpected gains.She didn’t knock. She pushed the door open and shouted,“Gu, want to do a quest with me?”“Ah?” A weak, feeble voice replied. If Fang Qing’s hearing weren’t sharp, she might not have heard it.Following the sound, she saw Gu Yuan lying in bed, wrapped in thick blankets with only his head exposed. Dark circles framed his vacant eyes, as if thirty succubi had drained him dry.“What happened to you? Why so weak?”Gu Yuan slowly turned his head to look at Fang Qing in her exquisite white dress and said softly,“Ah, something tortured me last night and left me like this. Don’t worry—I’ll recover in a few days.”Fang Qing stared expressionlessly into Gu Yuan’s eyes. After a long moment, she said, “Fine, I’m off.”She left Gu Yuan’s residence, closing the door behind her, and went to complete her quests.Hearing the door shut, Gu Yuan glared in his mind at the man inside it.“It’s all your fault, that thing you made me fight—I can only be a sickly lord now!”The man chuckled, “Don’t worry. Get through a few days, and you’ll thank me for it.”Gu Yuan snorted. “What have you learned all your life? You can’t even deal with {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} a bit of spiritual energy.”“Heh,” the man said, “if I really fixed it for you, you’d become my shape.”“What do you mean?”“Figure it out yourself.”
