Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

Chapter 80 This is not a trap, I'll eat it.

on the way back.

Chen Feng was prepared to reopen: "Even the old man sweeping the streets can cultivate immortality, but I can't. Who can understand how I feel?"

Just then, a motorcycle sped past on the sidewalk, yelling at the distracted Chen Feng, "Are you in such a hurry to die?"

How did he know what I wanted to do?

Chen Feng suddenly didn't want to die, because there were still people in this world who understood him.

Although I decided to rely on the demon-slaying system to fight my way out, there was really no need to waste this life.

First, gather intelligence and record all the major events that are about to happen. Then, make the best choice based on your memory to gain benefits. This is the normal operation of the save/load system.

Chen Feng set a goal for himself in this life: "Don't cause trouble, don't stir up trouble, don't provoke trouble, don't provoke trouble, and don't cause trouble."

one year later.

Li Guolong returns to the internet addiction school.

At this point, he was already in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the spiritual energy in his body surged and roared like a giant wave. With a casual strike, he could send the sheep-faced man and the teaching building flying together.

Watching the battle from the sidelines, Chen Feng thought to himself, "The Demon Lord said that their Foundation Establishment cultivators could destroy a country with a single blow. He really wasn't lying to me."

Throughout the year, Chen Feng had been observing the trio's progress. The early, middle, and late stages of Qi Refining already corresponded to the levels of exploding bricks, walls, and buildings. Therefore, the early, middle, and late stages of Foundation Establishment should correspond to the levels of exploding streets, cities, and countries, which should be no problem.

At this moment, the Great Philanthropist System sent a notification:

[The mental hospital has been destroyed. You can choose to complete the mission immediately, but since you didn't personally participate, and the Holy Bull Cult and the Bull Noodles are still around, you can only get the minimum reward of one point.]

Fifteen points turned into one point.

Chen Feng naturally did not choose to complete it, but he could still glean a lot of information from the prompts: "This mental hospital is at least a five-star checkpoint, but it only accounts for one-fifteenth of the entire mission. You can imagine how terrifying the Holy Bull Cult is."

On the other side, at PEACD.

After surviving the horror park, Captain Wu continued to grow stronger and successfully rose to the A-level, receiving a meeting with his superiors. And then, that was the end of it.

The pastor was deeply affected and decided to return home, but when he boarded the plane leaving Cihang City, he found himself extremely sleepy.

"That's strange, I slept really well yesterday."

thump!

The pastor collapsed in his chair.

At this moment, the captain, looking at the passengers slumped over, said to his subordinates, "Are they all hypnotized?"

His subordinates said, "He definitely won't wake up within a day."

The captain waved his hand: "Then let's send them directly to the great demon. Remember to notify the Ghost King to send someone to collect the souls. We've been using up too many people lately, and we're running out of resources. We need to get the Queen Mother to produce a batch of living people as soon as possible."

No one can leave Cihang City, neither alive nor dead.

As for the spiritual medium genius Meng Chengcheng, she quickly broke through the tormenting stage and reached the binding stage. Then, after the invocation ceremony, she mysteriously disappeared and never appeared again.

Chen Feng guessed, "They must have invited some dirty stuff."

And it's no surprise that India and Meng Chengcheng are sworn enemies. Not long after Meng Chengcheng went missing, India went mad during a mission and never regained her senses.

One went mad, the other disappeared.

Chen Feng thought there was nothing left to pay attention to regarding PEACD, until he saw the news:

"A mysterious incident occurred in our city today. Witnesses claim to have seen ghostly figures in an old house near Cihang Mountain."

"A large number of paranormal enthusiasts were drawn to the area, eager to see if the legendary ghosts actually existed."

The news circulated on television, in newspapers, and on social media for a whole week, becoming the talk of the town. In the end, the authorities stepped in to refute the rumor: "Experts say that the ghost does not exist at all; it is just the wind blowing the shadows of the trees, which look like people."

However, in PEACD, it's a completely different story.

Newcomer Jiang Die went to an old house to carry out a C-level vengeful spirit elimination mission. She was lucky enough to discover a ghost cultivator's secret treasure. Inside, there were not only ghost cultivator's cultivation techniques, but also ghost cultivator's magic weapon to summon spirits. Shaking it could make the fierce ghosts inside do things.

"This is good stuff."

Chen Feng had seen that bell with everyone at the base.

The evil spirit inside is very powerful, but unfortunately the bell is of too low a grade to unleash its full power.

"If I could assemble the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and collect the vengeful spirits inside, that would be amazing."

"Although I feel a little sorry for Brother Jiang Die, I can go to the old house and dig out the bell after I reload my save file."

Of course, with so many traps in Cihang City, Chen Feng had his suspicions that the bell was problematic. However, in the following period, Jiang Die relied on the bell to overcome all obstacles and quickly advanced to the A-level.

Then, naturally, he mysteriously disappeared.

"He wasn't killed by the bell."

"Instead, like Captain Wu, they were targeted by the devil because of their great potential and were nipped in the bud."

Since the bell was fine, Chen Feng naturally made a note of the incident.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Feng still couldn't refine his Qi, while the old man by the roadside actually broke through first and started his Foundation Establishment attempt.

Then Chen Feng was very glad that he hadn't immediately reloaded the save file.

Because on that day, the weather suddenly changed, and thunder rumbled.

The old man's laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth: "I'm going to become an immortal!"

Is this a tribulation of lightning?

Chen Feng was taken aback. According to common sense, cultivators do indeed have to undergo the trials of heaven and earth and temper their bodies with heavenly lightning before they can break through their cultivation level.

But those are things after the Nascent Soul stage. What's going on here? Even Foundation Establishment requires tribulation?

"What can a mere tribulation lightning do to me?"

The old man was boasting loudly.

But when a bolt of lightning struck, he was instantly refined, reduced to nothing but ashes.

Chen Feng was secretly alarmed.

What a powerful lightning strike!

As mentioned before, with the Xuanwu Longevity Technique, once you reach the late stage of Qi Refining, your body is already comparable to that of a building-exploding expert.

"Since even that old man couldn't hold on."

"Then I can't hold on either."

Chen Feng now has another task to complete: how to withstand the heavenly lightning.

Having witnessed the old man's example, both Fatty and Yellow Hair were terrified, and even after reaching the peak of Qi Refining, they dared not break through any further.

Only Li Guolong decided to give it a try.

To avoid the five monsters, Chen Feng led the group to a desolate mountain in Cihang City.

The lightning bolts rolled down, but Li Guolong also activated his cultivation technique with all his might.

In the later stages of Qi Refining, the Xuanwu Longevity Technique can convert lifespan into defense!

If a person is healthy and free from illness, living to eighty years old is no problem. The Xuanwu Technique can increase lifespan tenfold, which is eight hundred years.

Li Guolong had his lifespan shattered by the lightning, losing a full six hundred years before finally breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage through the tempering of heavenly lightning.

Then the great demon came following the scent.

He looked at Li Guolong, his cloudy eyes filled with astonishment: "Strange! Strange! I tampered with the tribulation lightning in Cihang City. Not only did it advance to the Qi Refining stage, but its intensity also reached the Nascent Soul stage. Logically speaking, there is absolutely no way a Qi Refining stage cultivator could survive."

Huh? You can play it like that?

Chen Feng listened with a pounding heart. No wonder everyone in Cihang City had a sacred body for cultivating immortality, but not a single cultivator.

It turns out there are countermeasures against cultivators.

This is not something I can eat under false pretenses.
