Because of the forest cover?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali Site  instantly dismissed it—she didn’t believe the Goddess of Magic’s prohibition could be so easily fooled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s hesitation, she traced a strand of deep blue aether on her pale palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clouds surged violently, and furious magical thunder rumbled within, restrained but potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a teacher’s warning to a student—loud thunder, light rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t rude, nor did she intend to test the Goddess of Magic’s limits; she immediately dispersed the aether from her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could the prohibition suppress itself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elf lady was stunned. “But why?

When have I ever lied to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally, clinging to Luo De’s arm, leaned her face close: “That zombie corpse just told me through the [Far-Speech Chain]—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De grabbed her cheek again, forcibly silencing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tally jumped, then angrily patted his arm: “Hey! Don’t scare me like that, you stinking master! I almost couldn’t hold it in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hold what in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De glanced at her small belly, fell silent, and didn’t ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said, why are you walking so slowly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t talk nonsense! Show some respect—that’s a goddess!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali Site  sternly warned, “I understand—you must have unintentionally aided Mistralla during your battle with Asmodeus, so she favors you slightly. Don’t get cocky, human. The gods’ patience is limited. Don’t take their favor for granted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one believed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De shrugged and stopped arguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green spiritual energy had ceased flowing; a heavy object had fully formed in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mycelial core’s surface was uneven, coated in a dark brown hard shell, oozing viscous black fluid from its cracked lines, like solidified asphalt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core’s fissures suddenly opened and closed, and black mycelial filaments crawled out, curling and writhing into a living, mycelial pellet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the core’s energy had not dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mycelial Core: Greatly increases the consumer’s energy tier!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Authority Residue: Contaminated impurities filtered out from authority; consuming it enhances mastery of any domain, but risks contamination by the original authority (Lunar Domain).】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impurities, huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De pulled out the [Great Cultivator’s Pruning Shears].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Impurity Removal, Toxin Neutralization, Armor Piercing, Binding, Defense Break, Bleeding, Paralysis, Air Blade】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impurity Removal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mycelial pellet immediately writhed in agitation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulsing to an invisible rhythm, it exuded copious amounts of black-red blood-like substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pellet turned pure, snow-white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Removal Successful!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Original Authority: Filtered authority impurity; consuming it enhances mastery of any domain!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De swallowed it, and without hesitation chose to enhance the Plague Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Partial authority of the ‘Plague Domain’ has been strengthened】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Acquired Domain Skill: Rotting Fly Swarm】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Details: Release a swarm of rotting flies to damage enemies.

The continent is unstable—we all need to strengthen ourselves quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kali Site  fell silent, her delicate brows furrowed, clearly wrestling internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De was used to this; he smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Consider it purchased from me. Or payment for your spellcasting help lately—you can’t just work without pay, can you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not working for you—I’m doing this for the Windwall Forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elf lady said stiffly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she no longer resisted, and accepted the mycelial core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll pay you the appropriate Jin Along based on its effects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.
