Six Golds out of ten multi-draws!
Just what kind of insane luck was this?!
Nan Zhi was immediately overjoyed, and the heavy pressure weighing on her head for days instantly vanished into thin air.
First were the six Gold Quality items: the Tiger-Head Silver-Ringed Bee Queen, Crystal Minor Blessed Land Cave Heaven, Splendid Jade Lady Screen, Cloud-Emerging Immortal Garment, Pine Snow Plum Crane Painting, and 《Great Freedom External Incarnation Art》.
【Tiger-Head Silver-Ringed Bee Queen (Gold Quality): Ranked 136th on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect Board. A remnant species of the Primordial era carrying the bloodline of a great demon. Can breed tens of thousands of bee soldiers to command in battle and brew spirit honey to aid cultivators in their practice.】
【Crystal Minor Blessed Land Cave Heaven (Gold Quality): A treasure of the South Sea Dragon Palace, later stolen by the Jiao-dragon Ao Run. It contains a self-contained small world—a blessed land cave heaven overflowing with spiritual energy.】
【Splendid Jade Lady Screen (Gold Quality): Casually painted by the Longevity Star of the Heavenly Court. Depicts a total of seventeen court ladies and eight musicians who possess awakened sentience, can speak human tongue, and serve before their master.】
【Cloud-Emerging Immortal Garment (Gold Quality): An immortal garment woven from seven-colored brocade sunset clouds by the female immortals of Chuyun Kingdom. When worn, boundless rainbows and radiant rosy clouds fill the sky, lined with golden thorns of light that keep others from approaching. (Agility +100, Combat Power +100)】
【Pine Snow Plum Crane Painting (Gold Quality): Sealed with the spirits of a century-old Pine Spirit, a thousand-year Snow Monster, a ten-thousand-year Plum Immortal, and a ten-thousand-year Crane Spirit. In battle, it can trap enemies and strangle them with the intent of boundless wind and snow.】
These Gold items were nothing short of the icing on the cake.
Holding them in hand gave Nan Zhi several more trump cards.
Yet the final item, the 《Great Freedom External Incarnation Art》, was truly the charcoal in a snowstorm she needed most.
【《Great Freedom External Incarnation Art》 (Gold Quality): An external incarnation transformation method created by Ancestor Lyu. With a single stir of the mind, myriad forms manifest; tempering the heart amidst the mortal dust, approaching the immortal gate ahead of time.】
This external incarnation cultivation method was precisely what Nan Zhi had eagerly yearned for over the past half year!
—With more and more cover identities piling up, just cleaning up the massive messes left in the Four Provinces secret realm kept her completely swamped.
Heaven only knew how envious she had felt when she saw Daoist Qinglong's external incarnation technique!
“I finally drew it. Even the items in the lottery pool have changed, mostly relating to the twelve nations of the four directions.”
Nan Zhi tapped the item against her chest, and the golden-glowing technique immediately dissolved into specks of flowing light, swirling around her:
【Cultivator:】
【Cultivator: Nan Zhi】
【Level: Level 49】
【Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Level 4】
...
【Skills: Divine Ability · Call Wind, Divine Ability · Summon Rain, Green Beetle Needles, Five Thunder Protection Curse, Beast Craft Sorcery, Mirage Pearl Escape, Painted Skin Art, Water Shield Art, Flying Fire Art, Wood Binding Art, Earth Mud Art, Sharp Gold Curse...】
【Cultivation Methods: 《Small Huanzhen Manual》 (Great Perfection), 《Moon-Worshiping Breathing Method》 (Tier 3 Mid Stage), 《Great Huanzhen Manual》 (Tier 2 Early Stage), 《Great Dao Deduction Record》 (Tier 1 Early Stage), 《Great Freedom External Incarnation Art》 (Tier 1 Early Stage)】
Moments later, Nan Zhi opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them.
This technique differed from the one cultivated by Daoist Qinglong.
The latter split the soul, turning divine sense into countless avatars attached to newborn infants to manipulate them.
Strictly speaking, external incarnations divided this way did not entirely belong to the original body; there was a high possibility that an avatar's soul might grow too powerful and backfire to devour the original.
The former was vastly different.
Following the laws of heaven and earth, this method nurtured the avatar directly from the main body.
Much like a cultivator gestating a nascent soul inside their body, one nourished the avatar with their own spiritual power, channeling uncirculated, excess spiritual energy out of the body to sculpt and shape it.
The avatar was both a fragment of the main body and the main body itself.
With a single thought from the main body, the avatar emerged in response, sharing a singular soul.
When the technique reached great perfection, tens of thousands of clones would all be one and the same person.
One person with a thousand faces—no shapeshifting needed. Even if a True Immortal stood right before them, they would never see through the connection.
As long as the avatars did not perish, the soul would never be extinguished.
This cultivation method felt as though it had been tailor-made for Nan Zhi.
She lightly rolled her tongue, exhaling a breath of spiritual energy, her gaze steady:
“The Deep-Sea Giant Clam Bed, Glazed Yazi Palace Lamps, South Sea Pearl... they all seem to be items from the twelve nations of the four directions. My guess was right: the lottery pool's contents are very likely tied to the game map.
If I can find the legendary Heavenly Court, maybe I could even draw something like a Peach Tree of Immortality or Ginseng Fruit.”
On the system lottery page, beneath the colossal treasure tree, the faceless green-robed girl tilted her chin up.
Though the girl lacked facial features, Nan Zhi inexplicably felt as if she were rolling her eyes at her.
...
...
Half a month later, after meditating and cultivating day and night without sleep or rest, Nan Zhi successfully manifested her first external incarnation.
Inside the room sealed against divine sense, a shapeless mass of primal chaos lacking limbs and facial features floated in midair, while beside it lay two beautiful skins—one human, one tiger.
The human skin was naturally Ma Jiu, Ma Guniang.
The tiger skin was the Mountain Lord, the great king of Qingmeng Mountain.
Nan Zhi had always been exceedingly cautious, ensuring clear distinctions between her various cover identities.
Ma Jiu was an ancient ghost of unknown age, answering only to Mu Changsheng of the Demon Suppression Division.
Her temperament was eccentric—neither purely righteous nor evil. She enjoyed dabbling in mortal affairs, and on rare occasions when kindness struck, she would look after mortals slightly out of shared ancestral origins with humanity.
She was adept in various Daoist arts and lightning magic, had ridden a fish into the sea at the Yellow River Secret Realm, brought about Spring's Return, and was attended by handmaidens Hongluo and Hongyu, possessing a cultivation around the Nascent Soul stage.
The Mountain Lord, the white tiger, had originally been a nameless wild cub in the depths of Qingmeng Mountain, later obtaining the Mountain Lord's legacy by chance and awakening innate wisdom.
Cold-tempered and domineering, it sided with the Demon race.
Wary of Mu Changsheng from the Demon Suppression Division, it disdained communicating with humans and focused solely on pursuing the Dao.
Adept in formations with overpowering demonic power, its cultivation stood at the second-revolution of the demon core (above Foundation Establishment), backed by the loyalty of the fox clan, favoring slaughter and quiet solitude.
Nan Zhi was originally an ordinary corporate wage slave—a diligent, hardworking beast of burden.
By chance, she had gained the favor of an immortal and displayed talent in the alchemical Dao, excelling in raising Gu insects and refining pills.
Although her cultivation had broken through to Qi Refinement level 5—vastly outstripping her peers—she was not skilled in combat, and from head to toe, she was loaded with life-saving dharma treasures gifted by her “Master.”
At her side were two Golden-Winged Flying Centipedes, a charred red-skinned gourd, storage bags, and 128 Green Beetle Needles belonging to “Mu Changsheng.”
