Chapter 551

Seeing Himeko somewhat dazed, Alice still comforted her gently.

Himeko suddenly took a deep breath, came back to her senses, and looked at Alice in disbelief.

"I... I can probably understand."

Although she didn't like reading novels on weekdays, she couldn't help but have an Academy Director who loved reading manga.

When she confiscated Theresa's manga, she would occasionally flip through a few pages when she was idle.

Naturally, she had seen this cultivation system at the time, and Himeko had also sighed that if there really was such a cultivation system, Honkai didn't seem to be a troublesome matter.

And now, fantasy had become reality...

"Since that's the case, let's reintroduce ourselves."

Alice looked at Himeko with a giggle.

"My name is Alice, Law Enforcement Elder of the Dragon Head Peak Law Enforcement Hall of Shushan, a cultivator in the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"Where you are now is the peak of Dazhu Peak, one of the seven veins of Shushan."

"Additionally, insert a sentence: the Shushan world was created by the Sect Leader for us cultivators to practice."

"The Sect Leader is a cultivator at the peak of Refining Spirit into Void."

Himeko looked at Alice in a daze, and after a long while, she seemed to have come back to her senses, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to ask.

After a long time, Himeko said in a low voice:

"Refining Qi into Spirit late stage... what is it like?"

"Hmm... how should I describe this to you..."

Alice pondered for a moment while pinching her chin, clapped her hands, and said:

"Based on my understanding of your world, if I go all out, I should be able to shatter the sun of your world."

"But it's not certain. I don't know how dense the spiritual energy in your world is, and I don't know how strong the world is."

"But if it's the Sect Leader, with his cultivation at the peak of Refining Spirit into Void and the techniques he has mastered, wanting to destroy the Tree and Sea world would be just a thought."

"The energy inside this gem of yours is probably at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi to the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"But in terms of quality, it's much worse."

Hearing this, Himeko looked at the Gem of Haste she brought; this thing was very obedient now that its autonomous will had been obliterated, like a part of her own power.

Himeko could even feel a quite vast life force wandering in her body.

This life force seemed to be what saved her; now that there was some left, it was enough for her to prolong her life and live to the limit of human life without illness or disaster.

"Elder Alice must have paid quite a price to save me."

Himeko looked at Alice somewhat melancholically; originally, she thought if this world was a medieval world,

she would find a way to get the data from Schicksal's database to help this world evolve into a technological world.

Now it seemed she was too wishful.

Technology or something...

They didn't need it at all.

They are cultivators who play with individual power greater than everything.

How was she supposed to repay this life-saving kindness?

"Elder Alice used a Three-Turn Rebirth Pill, which is a very precious kind of pill, used by cultivators for healing."

Lisa chuckled, pointing out:

"Now, Himeko, you still have unconverted life force in your body. If you can use it reasonably, you won't need to worry about Honkai erosion in the future."

"Even, this life force will strengthen you to an unimaginable degree. From the perspective of a mortal, it will be an excellent physique."

After listening to Lisa's words, Himeko didn't feel happy; instead, she felt increasingly conflicted.

She definitely couldn't repay this.

At the very least, for now, even if she went back and emptied Schicksal, she probably couldn't take out anything to exchange for this pill.

This is a proper cultivator's pill.

Even if Otto saw it, he would probably be interested.

"Alright Lisa, stop talking."

Seeing Himeko looking somewhat worried, Alice glared at Lisa, who shrugged and added:

"Does Elder Alice have anything else? If not, I'll go back to practice."

"For the next period of time, before the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration, I plan to stay in seclusion to try to break through to the peak of Refining Essence into Qi as soon as possible."

Alice nodded slightly and said softly:

"You go."

Lisa didn't stay, nodded to Himeko, and turned into a stream of light, flying back to her cave dwelling quickly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back too. The Origin Return Pill is still being refined, and that side can't be left without someone for too long."

Following Lisa, Bai Zhu also said goodbye and left.

Most of the others also had their own things to be busy with; visitors from outside the world were very interesting, but by comparison, cultivation was more important.

Before long, only Alice and Venti remained with Himeko.

Looking at the flyer for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor that Hu Tao had forcibly stuffed into her hand, with a tombstone clearly on it, she knew very well what that meant.

Himeko was somewhat lost.

After a moment of silence, she said with some disappointment:

"Elder Alice, am I being excluded by everyone?"

"How could that be? Why would you think that?"

Alice looked at Himeko in confusion, and the latter shook the flyer in her hand.

"Why did that Miss Hu Tao just stuff this to me?"

"Ah, this... don't mind it."

Alice laughed awkwardly.

"Hu Tao's personality has always been like this; in her eyes, funerals are not a topic to be avoided like a snake or scorpion."

"A few days ago, she even advertised for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in front of millions of people. I heard the effect was quite good."

"That day, someone went to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to get a membership card and even pre-ordered the deluxe coffin gift package."

Hearing this, Himeko had already gone from initial helplessness to being somewhat shocked.

This serious topic of life and death could actually be spoken of so easily and happily.

Going to a funeral parlor to get a VIP membership card and pre-ordering coffin services?

Himeko truly couldn't understand the brain holes of the people in this world.

"Don't think too much; everyone has no malice toward you, it's just that the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration conference is starting soon."

"The Nine Nether Secret Realm is extremely dangerous; the Seven Kings of Nine Nether are Demon Kings at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit and have a blood feud with Shushan."

"There are countless demon tribes under their command at the Refining Essence into Qi and Refining Qi into Spirit levels. In order to survive in the Nine Nether Secret Realm exploration conference and obtain more resources,"

"everyone naturally has to race against time to cultivate."

Venti on the side replied with a smile, and Himeko suddenly realized, looking at Alice with some worry.

"Will it be too dangerous?"

"It doesn't matter; the Sect Leader said that Shushan disciples cannot always shrink in an ivory tower. Every generation of Shushan geniuses has walked an invincible path carved out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."

Alice patted her chest confidently.

"Our ancestors could do it, and so can we! We can't lose face for Shushan!"

Himeko sighed in her heart; although she didn't know how strong the Nine Nether Secret Realm was,

she thought that if it could make a powerhouse like Alice feel dangerous, it meant the Nine Nether Secret Realm was more terrifying than the so-called Finality descent.

The world of cultivators is also not peaceful, although this lack of peace is something they pursue themselves.

"By the way, who is this..."

Himeko suddenly looked at Venti on the side, and Alice introduced him:

"His name is Venti, the acting Peak Master of Shushan's Chaoyang Peak, and like me, he is in the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"In Teyvat, he is one of the Seven Archons, the Anemo Archon, the Archon of Mondstadt."

Venti looked at Alice somewhat helplessly.

"Hey! Alice, I said the identity of the Anemo Archon doesn't need to be mentioned!"

"Although I didn't have a special ceremony like the old man, I can be considered retired, right?"

Alice ignored him, but Himeko looked at Venti with some surprise. ===== CHAPTER 552 =====
