After My Favorability Level Is Up to the Top

Chapter 225 - Fell into Deep Thought

“He went to check out the collapsed white jade palace, meow.”

The hammer rested on Guo Fan's shoulder, rubbing its head against his neck and speaking with a squint.

Guo Fan nodded and pinched the Orange Cat's ear. He analyzed, “Since this guy is being used as a host by the Martial Emperor, he definitely won't hand over the Qingfu Zi money this time. After all, to earn contribution points, he needs to use the mission process as evidence.

Moreover, the Martial Emperor has given me the Purification Scripture. Perhaps he can only take the cultivation technique from the body demon outside the tomb. This way, it would be better for him to betray the Soul Haunt Ship and escape with his belongings… He also holds the identity of a disciple of the Blistook Pavilion, and it doesn’t seem to be a low one. He would most likely report this matter to the Blistook Pavilion, which would definitely protect him. There's no need to fear the Soul Haunt Ship hunting him down.”

Guo Fan had roughly analyzed Dong Yuan's mindset and had even thought of a way out for him. He turned to Yijun and said, “That's fine too. It just so happened that you two should rest for a while and wait for him to come back. We will walk along the way for a bit and send him out.”

Yijun nodded and then asked, “Father plans to befriend him?”

Guo Fan cleared his throat and said with a smile, “It’s not exactly befriending him… Senior Martial Emperor previously mentioned that he wouldn’t disappear for the time being because he wants to do something he should do. I dare to guess he’s going to seek revenge on the person who framed him and his wife in the past, and in the previous battle… The last time he killed the Three-head Heavenly Devil, he definitely held back a lot of strength. He didn’t even try his best.”

Although Guo Fan almost wanted to switch sides because of Hee Mengyao, he didn’t intend to vent his frustration on the Martial Emperor’s inaction. After all, the Martial Emperor wasn’t obligated to help him. He felt more helpless.

That Purification Scripture should have been given to him as compensation, so it wasn’t a loss.

Yijun’s pupils constricted. She hadn’t had the time to observe these things in the previous battle. Guo Fan guessed it was because he didn’t participate in the battle that he had the leisure to notice these details. But his sensitivity to details was already amazing.

The young girl said in a deep voice, “He is preserving the strength of the remnant soul.”

Hammer was filled with righteous indignation. “This old devil… Wu, Wu, Wu!”

Guo Fan quickly suppressed the vulgarities coming from the cute Kitty's mouth.

He continued, “We need to conserve our strength, but he genuinely wants to kill the Tianma. So on one hand, it might be for revenge, and on the other hand, it’s because his remnant soul has a time limit. And the time should be relatively short. It’s not that he doesn’t want to occupy Dong Yuan’s body forever. It’s just that he can’t.”

Yijun understood. “So after borrowing Dong Yuan’s body for revenge, the Martial Emperor’s remnant soul will very likely disappear. As for the aftermath of the revenge, Dong Yuan will have to handle it himself. Father wants to see what Dong Yuan will do, then decide whether to befriend or help this person. For now, it's only temporary to form a good relationship.”

Guo Fan was very pleased. “This child can be taught.”

Yijun smiled, not just because Guo Fan praised her, but also because of this child… Actually, there was also the implication of having a concubine.

The young girl looked at Guo Fan’s expression and felt he probably didn’t know.

Hence, Yijun hid this little joy in her heart. With just a smile, she returned to her originally indifferent demeanor.

Guo Fan was stunned by Yijun’s brief but beautiful smile, but he didn’t know what kind of young girl’s thoughts were hidden in it.

They sat down to rest. Qingfu once again flipped through the Puppet Master diary, and Guo Fan planned to study the changes in his Dantian.

This newly formed black and white vortex, compared to the vortex in his Dantian formed from the condensation of Spiritual Energy, had nearly double the absorption efficiency.

The friction between Spiritual Energy and devilish energy was like a millstone. With each breath, a large amount of spiritual energy could be absorbed and refined at an extremely high efficiency. There was visible improvement every minute and every second.

The Golden Core stage had always been a dividing line that separated mortals from cultivators.

Only upon reaching the Golden Core realm could one truly touch the threshold of cultivation, known as the “Golden Core Great Dao.” Cultivating the inner core would turn the human body into a furnace, using the essence and qi in the body as medicine and refining it with divine flames.

The efficiency of burning and refining depended on each cultivation method.

Guo Fan's method… could be considered unprecedented and unparalleled.

However, he frowned, feeling something was amiss. The vortex in his dantian seemed to be moving in a certain direction.

Guo Fan estimated it was probably where the Three-head Heavenly Devil had fallen.

It was a kind of “hunger.”

Currently, the vortex in his Dantian had barely balanced with the Spiritual Energy. However, as his cultivation base increased, the Spiritual Energy would grow, while the devil energy would only be controlled.

Unless he could obtain more devil Qi, he would have to kill and devour more Devil Clan.

Indeed, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world…

After a while, Qingfu suddenly tugged on Guo Fan’s sleeve.

Guo Fan opened his eyes from deep thought, and the small figure whispered, “I found out…”

“Hmm?”

Guo Fan was stunned and didn’t react.

The miniature person opened the diary and pointed to one of the locations. “This is the white jade palace.”

Guo Fan nodded. “And then?”

The miniature person moved his finger downwards and said, “This is the appearance of the white jade palace after its transformation.”

… “?”

Guo Fan looked at the yellow book that resembled a Gundam and fell into deep thought.

This sharp white main body, these eight wings… This game planner must be crazy, right?!

“Rumble…”

Guo Fan subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the white jade palace. His tone was drifting. “Oh, Dong Yuan has gone to check the palace. I hope he won’t trigger a flag…”

“Boom!” A loud sound was heard, followed by the trembling of the ground.

A huge white jade body slowly rose from the ground in the woods. The various parts were still assembling, opening up pieces of soil and trees that fell to the ground with a swoosh. The lower half of the body was covered in mud and dust.

From afar, Dong Yuan's voice could be heard, “Quick, run!”

Guo Fan, “… “

Qingfu added from the side, “That wing is not just for decoration. It really can fly.”

…

At the entrances of the island, teams from different sects were sent in one after another.

They all looked up at the Eight-winged White Jade Mechanical Marionette that looked like a demon god.

The eight wings, slender and featherless, appeared mighty but seemed to lack power.

“Wuuu - Xiu!”

After a buzzing sound, those eight wings emitted the brilliance of Spiritual Energy, then shot out waves of Spiritual Energy from within… Just like the beautiful wings of a butterfly, indicating its danger clearly.
