Crash!
Opening their eyes again, a few blacksmiths found themselves in a wild forest.
Snow covered the ground, and beneath their feet was a temporary Teleportation Array.
Since it was not a permanent Teleportation Array, its duration was not very long; depending on the number of transmissions and the load of heavy objects, its use would last for about one month to half a year.
Outside the Teleportation Array was a barren area.
A group of people were camping in the distance, evidently having just arrived.
The leading woman controlled a tall and mighty black bear.
That black bear had rotting skin all over, holding a massive black curved blade in its paws, and there was a hollow O-shaped cavity in its belly, with a little girl in black clothes and boots sitting right in its center.
"Hello, I'm Shi Youyou, Five-Body Realm Great Perfection, eighteen years old this year."
Sitting inside the bear's belly, Shi Youyou raised her head and smiled as she spoke, "By the way, where are the adults in your household? At least send over some of the more powerful young generation."
The people here now were all in the first body of the Five-Body Realm, newcomers who had just entered, even without the family's Blood Separation Flower blooming yet, clearly not the family's direct lineage.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Leading the group, Embers Jiucai Rong said, "Our family's powerhouse hasn't arrived yet, so we're just here to camp first."
Shi Youyou furrowed her brows.
Why let a Ghost lead a group of living people?
This Wandering Embers shouldn't he settle somewhere?
Moreover, the ten people opposite wearing stiff smiles, were they provoking us?
But Embers Jiucai Rong and the others only greeted once, then said nothing more, glanced around for a suitable place to set up camp.
Digging earth, cutting trees, building houses.
A few cultivators from the Shi Family in the distance frowned slightly, surprised and a bit puzzled.
"What are they doing?"
"Didn't they say this generation of them is a bit ill, being rather savage?"
"Building houses, it must be for when their big figures arrive, building a house in advance to avoid being beaten or bullied, after all, not every Demon Cultivator family is as harmonious as ours."
"I said they are skilled at bricklaying and house building, turns out they're used to being bullied, they're not the savage batch, they're the abused lower-tier ones."
"But really bullied? Why do they look so excited on their faces?"
By nature.
When cultivators from both sides meet, it's often young generations compete a bit, displaying their means and strength.
If nothing else, there's at least some verbal jousting!
Especially after a Patriarch's communication, it's said that the opposing generation of Blood Separation Flower Demon Cultivator disciples is rather savage, with twisted characters, to be cautious.
Possibly cultivating Brain Separation Flower, Brain Flower Separation!
Although that Patriarch has a penchant for evil tastes, often bullying, intimidating, deceiving them, such things he shouldn't lie.
Brain Separation Flower?
Even without knowing specific abilities, just thinking about the name makes it sound a bit abnormal.
So with a bit of vigilance, they awaited their provocation.
But the other side, upon arrival, started building houses, leaving them perplexed.
And the blacksmiths in the distance were also confused, conversing among themselves:
"Why do those Demon Cultivators keep staring at me?"
After all, they aren't Demon Cultivators either, lacking knowledge in these areas, completely unaware of such traditional rituals of greeting, involving muscle competition.
In their view, this was simply an instance run.
Why compete in muscles?
These farming management-type games don't have a proper upgrade monster-fighting system; they can't cultivate quickly, naturally not thinking about unnecessary combat.
If suddenly there's a plot of combat competition now, they'd blame the creators!
Crazy, farming game suddenly bringing this stuff out?
So while building houses, they'd glance toward the other side:
"Why are they standing there doing nothing? Aren't NPCS supposed to have houses? An instance isn't completed in a day, you have to sort out logistics first."
"They seem like the AI intelligence isn't great, dumbly standing there, is the budget for the creators tight, environmental lighting darkens, AI intelligence also retrogrades."
In the distance.
Su Yuniang, busy building houses, blinked her eyes.
She thought for a moment, then took a roasted River Demon over, opened the fragrant rice and lotus leaf wrap, revealing the roasted meat inside, "We made this; want some?"
The leading Shi Youyou: "?"
Not showing muscles, hosting a meal?
Did the Patriarch mention it incorrectly?
This group of people is friendlier, kinder than any Demon Cultivators we've seen before; arrive and start building houses, inviting people for a meal.
If you don't reveal your identity, people might think you're one of those simple and honest migrant workers from the city, incredibly adept at bricklaying and wall-building, with clean and swift movements!
Shi Youyou stiffened for a moment, while Su Yuniang instead casually exchanged some simple information with the other party.
The Shi family, their spirit root is the Seven-Breath Grass, middle grade Yang spirit root, infinitely close to upper grade.
Yang spirit roots and Yin spirit roots are actually types of mutated spirit roots, most are quite sinister, strange, and even terrifying.
They naturally belong to the camp of evil cultivators and demon cultivators.
If you talk about Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, I might not think you're an evil cultivator, but if you talk about Yin and Yang, the first reaction of people in this world is: evil cultivator, demon cultivator!
Yang spirit roots mostly involve extracting flesh and blood, making blood and flesh puppets, engaging in blood and flesh transformation...
Yin spirit roots then involve things like the Soul-Draining Banner, Ghost Control Technique, manipulating souls with a sinister laugh.
There are proper paths too, but they're relatively few.
For instance, Ning Zheng's Yin attribute divine technique is relatively upright.
But the blood separation flower of the manor's demon cultivators, the iconic Meat Field Elder with its unfolding meat field, skeletal forests, and flesh rivers, seems to literally embrace you with open arms.
This immediately looks quite demonic.
On the contrary, spirit roots of the five elements like Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth are dignified, and more advanced mutations like ice, wind, thunder, etc. are also majestic.
As for the Shi family, the Yang spirit root Seven-Breath Grass is not very adept at combat, its divine technique's trait is: bloodline aura simulation.
It seems trivial, but it's actually a historically long-standing family with three branches.
The first, Tomb Raider branch.
Aura simulation, disguising as descendants to enter tombs, deceiving elders for abduction.
Typically abducting ghosts of the Five-Body Realm, and ancestors of the Four Viscera Realm.
After all, some prominent families maintain simple traditional aristocratic customs in their tombs, requiring these handmaidens and stewards to accompany them in death.
Thus, there arises a demand for purchasing burial attendants.
Previously, they were abducting ghosts from tombs, and even went to neighboring Pingchang City to steal too.
The second, Assassination branch.
Mainly cultivating combat power, disguising aura quietly, assassinating in secret, killing in one blow.
Don't think the aura disguise is weak.
Actually, the weaknesses of the first few realm cultivators are quite obvious.
Just continually tracking, observing in secret, determining which organs haven't been refined, then ambushing.
The third, Puppetry.
Aura simulation, disguising as the same species of the demon beast, easily ambushing the other side, then transforming them into a puppet.
And aura simulation can let your blood temporarily disguise demon blood, temporarily controlling the opponent's demon beast body.
For example, taking this Five-Body Realm Great Perfection black bear, hollowing out the Four Viscera, sitting in the stomach to replace the "Four Viscera," temporarily merging with the bloodline, controlling the demon beast for combat.
"Sister, isn't this too cool?"
"Is this a baby?"
"This Five-Body Realm circular demon beast, can still live quite long even hollowed out?"
"So handsome."
"Sitting in the belly to control, isn't it like a cockpit, is this a biological Gundam?"
A group of blacksmiths gathered around, exclaiming in surprise one after another.
Shi Youyou introduced herself and instantly drew the enthusiastic attention of this group of people.
She felt they were a bit overly dramatic, as if they'd never seen the world.
Why weren't they behaving logically?
Yet they had a demeanor of praising her, with sentence after sentence of "gorgeous lady" compliments, it made her utterly bewildered.
It made her uncomfortable to put up a challenge.
These blacksmiths actually had already studied in the "compliments group," frantically praising and flattering you from all angles with fancy words, offering diverse accolades.
Launching a wave of mental attacks that left you dizzy.
They felt they were exceptionally clever!
After all, they're from the farming faction, establishing good relations to sell merchandise and raid dungeons together.
The saying goes, harmony brings wealth!
They planned to keep a proper demeanor like Zhang Huaping and the old blacksmith, with a gentle spring breeze smile.
The farming management stream prioritizes making friends when going out, aiming to become the richest, with friends all over the world.
"It's alright, my bear isn't very powerful; we are cooperating this time for joint exploration."
Surrounded by ten people, Shi Youyou ultimately felt somewhat embarrassed from the praise, thinking these demon cultivators were completely misrepresented; the family had deceived her, talking nonsense about Brain Separation Flower and having head problems.
It's all a lie.
They're actually quite nice.
