She reported seriously.

After she finished, a woman’s voice came from behind the screen.

"The abbot will handle it. The Buddha hopes the faithful will have rewards. Go now."

Jing Miao found the Buddha Mother’s voice strangely familiar, but only slightly.

She respectfully responded, put her hands together, said "Namo Amitabha," and then turned to leave.

Prince Qing presented supplies, which the Buddha Mother gladly accepted, but the one handling them was her.

This gave Jing Miao a heavy sense of mission.

Three years ago, she was still a rebellious daughter.

Two years ago, she took refuge in Xinci Temple.

Last year, she became the abbot of Xinci Temple.

And these days, she walked through the post-disaster ruins under Xinci Temple, seeing the suffering of the common people, wives losing their husbands, children losing their mothers, the sick struggling to survive, the deceased unable to rest.

As she traveled, she witnessed so much human suffering, and her "rebellion and immaturity of a young girl" was slowly washed away, making her willing to bear it all.

She wants to use her own hands to soothe this post-disaster state city.

’No more crying.’

Cao Yi was completely dead.

From now on, only Jing Miao lives.

...

...

Another few days passed...

Li Xuan was dressed in a form-fitting outfit, with his waist filled with empty crystal bottles.

Suddenly, a golden glow emanated from around his body.

The golden glow gradually spread with the incense in the air, covering an area of over a hundred miles.

Because of the events like "Buddha’s manifestation" and "Xinci Temple’s salvation of the people," now not only Cyan Wood Province, but even surrounding prefectures, counties, and villages started inviting the Buddha into their homes, offering prayers and blessings.

At this time, the incense Li Xuan could enjoy was not limited to the state city of Cyan Wood Province but spread throughout most of Cyan Wood Province.

Wherever the Buddha’s incense was present, it was his domain.

At this time, Li Xuan rapidly swept the surroundings, scanning a hundred miles at a time, extremely conveniently.

As the incense spread, his perception expanded with it.

Soon, he sensed a wisp of demonic qi, the aura was not strong, hidden in a cave deep in the mountains, the cave overgrown with weeds and scattered with white skeletons, evidently leftovers from the demon’s meals.

Due to the exaggerated expansion of his perception by the incense, Li Xuan could sense the demon, but the demon was completely unaware of him.

In the shimmering golden glow, another incense tendril reached out, extended into the deep mountain cave, and directly pulled out a red-striped python.

In the next moment, the python appeared in front of Li Xuan.

The python’s face showed surprise, astonishment, fear, shock.

Li Xuan didn’t want to waste words with it, reaching out with a terrifying black and red hand, gripping the python’s seven inches, and squeezing.

Crack.

The python’s head immediately bent backwards.

A twist.

Crack, crack, crack...

The python instantly became a twisted pretzel, dead to the extreme, scorching demonic blood bursting out.

Li Xuan raised his hand and drew a line, dropping the "ordinary wild boar spirit" demonic blood from his body into the crystal bottle, then reached for the python’s demonic blood.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The demonic blood was absorbed into Li Xuan’s body.

Li Xuan glanced at the panel.

Change one, Demon Points increased by 7.

Change two, in the nine blood slots, the original "ordinary wild boar spirit" disappeared, replaced by an image of a red demon python enshrouded in red clouds.

Ninth slot: Red Cloud Demon Python (Young Demon)

Injecting the complete blood of a young demon Red Cloud Demon Python can provide 14 extra agility and mastering the demon technique [Poison Fog].

Li Xuan was momentarily stunned.

Originally, he wouldn’t have been surprised at all, but after witnessing so many "ordinary demons," the more he looked at the Red Cloud Demon Python, the more he felt it could be something special.

This had no "ordinary" prefix, so it seems it’s not an ordinary demon, just hasn’t grown up yet.

Immediately, he tried injecting the Red Cloud Demon Python’s demonic blood into himself.

A faint layer of scales appeared on his body surface, and that was all.

This was normal; even injecting the "Fog Panther" demonic blood wouldn’t cause significant physical changes now.

Because the strength of these demonic bloods was relatively weak compared to his physique.

’Try this demon technique.’

Li Xuan took a deep breath and exhaled, spitting out a cloud of dark green mist.

The mist moved forward, where it passed, plant life withered rapidly, and even rocks were corroded and pitted.

And its spread reached a full mile!

Li Xuan took off his clothes, his form transforming into that of a giant nearly one zhang and eight feet tall, then breathed out fire poison mixed with the mist.

The mixture of green mist and fire poison created a dazzlingly horrifying scene in the air.

In front of Li Xuan, everything with life vanished instantly within a mile.

’What a powerful technique.’

Li Xuan couldn’t help but praise. He naturally recognized the potential of this demon technique, far superior to those like [Great Strength], [Strong], [Agility].

After complimenting it, he quickly moved the "Red Cloud Demon Python" demonic blood to the seventh slot, as a type he wasn’t planning to discard.

As for "Ordinary Rhinoceros Horn" and "Ordinary Bear Spirit," he pushed them back two slots.

After testing, Li Xuan began searching for more demons.

That evening, his gaze locked onto a certain place, and the terrifying incense tendril reached out, pulling out a gecko with demonic qi.

The gecko reacted swiftly, its eyes staring intently at Li Xuan.

But before it could do anything, Li Xuan had already crushed it.

Afterwards, Li Xuan removed the "Ordinary Bear Spirit" demon blood, stored it in a crystal bottle, then absorbed the gecko’s blood.

Instantly, new information emerged.

This time, Demon Points increased by 8.

In the nine blood slots, the eighth slot, a gecko image appeared amidst clouds and mist.

Eighth slot: Cloud Mirage Gecko (Young Demon)
