A colorful candy, if she were a child, might only be focused on wanting the candy.
But she was a mature adult, more than twenty years older than Wen Ying.
She clearly remembered that when Wen Ying arrived, she brought nothing with her.
"Auntie, you should eat this candy."
The landlady was somewhat stunned, not expecting that this thing was actually for her
Not cheap, right?
Thinking this, she also asked out loud.
At such an old age, there's no room for embarrassment anymore; it's important to be clear when taking advantage of others.
"Compared to the fox spirit, it might be a bit cheaper?" Wen Ying answered casually.
The landlady understood the implied meaning in Wen Ying's words.
This candy might have some effect she wasn't aware of, ensuring her safety here.
Things that have value but no market, yet in front of the Fox Immortal, they seem less valuable than the Fox Immortal?
Thinking this way, the landlady didn't refuse and ate it directly.
The sweet and sour taste, I must say, is really quite good.
It was only when she ate the candy that she felt her body warm up, as if it wasn't just a psychological effect.
It also seemed that I was no longer afraid to enter this street.
A feeling, or just a psychological effect.
Wen Ying's profession seems truly profound, not as superficial as it appears to be.
In the crisis that the landlady imagined had not yet appeared, they saw the staggering arrival of the fox... the Great Fox Spirit~!
The fox spirit walked out from the depths of the old street with graceful steps.
It was only when he saw them, when he heard the landlady's exclamation, that the fox spirit suddenly collapsed to the ground.
The proprietress couldn't see it, but Wen Ying could. There was a black aura swirling around the Fox Immortal.
Wen Ying quickly stepped forward, took out a talisman, and placed it on the body of the fox spirit. The surging black aura then slowed down, until it gradually disappeared.
Although the landlady didn't know what was going on, seeing Wen Ying's serious demeanor, she stood aside without causing any trouble, waiting for instructions.
Wen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and looked at the landlady, "Auntie, you take it back. I still have something to do, I need to go and check again."
"Xiaoying, should I take you back to the hotel or directly to the clinic?"
The landlady's question was something Wen Ying had never considered, so hearing it now inevitably took her by surprise.
"Xiao Ying, it seems my fate with the Fox Immortal has come to an end. You are a capable child. If possible, I would like the Fox Immortal to follow you."
"Let's take it back first and discuss it later. It won't wake up for now."
The landlady finally agreed to leave, but she reminded Wen Ying to be careful.
Watching Wen Ying's figure disappear before her, the landlady, holding the fox deity in her arms, turned and left.
Wen Ying walked towards the direction given by the system. The system's positioning function was much simpler, more straightforward, and more useful than those map navigations.
The enclosed area seemed to be an old junkyard, one that appeared to have been there for many years, somewhat out of place with the old street outside.
The old street, though filled with broken walls and ruins, was relatively clean compared to the junkyard.
This junkyard is truly garbage.
The most important thing was that Wen Ying saw an endless stream of black gas in the junkyard, spreading outward.
The landfill was fenced off, likely with the help of an expert using some method to block it, so the black mist continued to swirl within the confines of the landfill.
But because of the appearance of the Fox Immortal, it entered here and disrupted a certain delicate balance.
So much so that the black mist seemed to begin to slowly and gradually diffuse outward through an invisible pinhole.
Wen Ying was just about to use her talisman paper and cultivation to try to patch up this hole when the system's voice timely sounded, [Dear Host, wouldn't you like to draw a prize?].
Although the dog system is a scam, when it usually says this, it means you can draw something useful.
I just don't know how much reputation it will cost.
[This malevolent energy is not ordinary; if it really spreads outside, it will cause deaths, Host.]
"Do you think I look like a busybody who cares about everyone else's business?"
"Draw ten times!"
[Alright!]
The moment the big wheel appeared in front of Wen Ying, she felt that the spread of the black mist seemed to slow down even more.
It seems the dog system isn't that bad after all.
"I won't choose, my dear. Draw ten times for me and let's see how lucky your system is. After all, the system is so noble and unique."
The system often boasts that their system is omnipotent, lofty and superior.
At this moment, upon hearing Wen Ying's words, the system furrowed its nonexistent brows.
So, in human terms, is this called digging your own grave?
Forget it, let the host take advantage this time.
The big wheel started spinning rapidly. Ordinary people couldn't see the words on the wheel while it was spinning, only the afterimages. But Wen Ying was not an ordinary person; she possessed cultivation.
[One million reputation points have been deducted. Congratulations to the host for drawing: Array Stone*6, Low-Grade Soul Shattering Talisman, Meeting with Zhou Gong, Koi Possession]
The system's voice was so fast that it had finished speaking by the time Wen Ying started talking!
"One million reputation points? Wasn't it one hundred thousand?"
[The host requests this system to draw a prize on their behalf. The host is also aware that this system is a noble existence, so the cost is naturally different. Moreover, the items drawn by this system are not those useless "thank you for participating" prizes~]
The system's voice was tinged with a hint of smugness.
Wen Ying ground her teeth. This trap was definitely set for her; most of what she drew was meant to handle matters here!
[Host, please act quickly. Once the big wheel stops working, the suppression effect will disappear.]
The system's voice ended, and six small pebbles floated before Wen Ying's eyes.
The pebble was about the size of a quail egg. Wen Ying reached out and took it in her hand, only to realize it wasn't a stone.
I don't know what material it is; it feels hard, but there seems to be a hint of softness within the hardness.
It wasn't a stone, nor did he recognize it; he only knew it was the cornerstone of the grand formation.
What is a formation? Wen Ying had heard of it before, but this was the first time she saw the things truly needed for a formation.
When Wen Ying held the formation stone in her hand, the system's explanation came.
The chatterbox who, though late, always arrives.
[Formation Stone: Of course, it's something used in a certain formation. The host just needs to hold it in their hand to understand its usage and function. Isn't that convenient? The system still loves the host very much~]
"It is indeed convenient, similar to forcibly instilling memories. The advantage is that it doesn't cause headaches and is quite comfortable."
Wen Ying held the item, her footsteps leaving behind ghostly afterimages.
According to the manual in her mind, Wen Ying placed the six array stones in their designated positions.
When she stopped, the six array stones suddenly vanished, and what appeared before her eyes were six beams of crimson light converging into a hexagonal pattern in the sky above the junkyard.
Then, it descended upon the junkyard.
But, at this moment-
