After a long silence in the room, Li Muyang once again opened his eyes, a faint divine light flashing through them.
The next second, he rose to his feet, a small turning wheel appearing out of nowhere in his hand.
The wheel was about the size of a palm, its material unknown, its surface etched with many fine and mysterious patterns.
Refining a Magic Artifact was not difficult, especially since the Magic Artifact at hand was merely a common item, and Li Muyang refined it with ease.
As soon as he had successfully refined the Magic Artifact, Li Muyang stepped out the door and into the outdoors.
The night sky was filled with stars, the moonlight washing over everything, with the occasional beast roar coming from the wilderness and forests not far away.
This mid-mountain area, far from the crowds, was empty and quiet.
Li Muyang stood at the doorway for a moment before turning into a blur and heading straight into the ancient forest behind the spiritual fields.
The forest was filled with ancient towering trees and dense shrubs, which was almost never visited. Li Muyang found a secluded corner, rarely visited by others, in the depths of the dense forest, where he started to operate the turning wheel in his hand.
A gleam of spiritual light faintly emerged above the wheel, then it flew straight out, cutting a large tree thick enough to be embraced by one person cleanly in half, the cut surface extremely smooth.
Li Muyang clicked his tongue in wonder, "This power, even among common Magic Artifacts, must be considered formidable, right?"
Truly, a Magic Artifact given by the system; even as a common item, its power completely outclasses ordinary common Magic Artifacts.
Not to mention that aside from throwing this wheel to hit people, it also has another clever use...
With a thought, Li Muyang's gaze fixed directly on a leopard hiding in the bushes nearby.
The wild beast lay hidden in the bushes, vigilantly watching Li Muyang, seemingly wanting to ambush him.
However, Li Muyang retracted the wheel, and the small wheel began to spin in mid-air in the palm of his hand.
As the wheel slowly spun, an invisible force locked onto the leopard in the bushes.
The leopard's body stiffened abruptly, terror in its eyes, unable to comprehend why it could no longer move.
The instinct to survive made the leopard struggle.
But as the wheel in Li Muyang's hand turned slowly, like a grinding stone over a millstone.
When the wheel in Li Muyang's hand had made a full rotation, the leopard in the bushes collapsed weakly, lifeless.
The leopard seemed unharmed, but a wisp of smoke drifted out from its body and eventually floated into the wheel in Li Muyang's hand.
— This is another marvelous use of this Magic Artifact, it can grind down souls!
But now, even killing a leopard was somewhat strenuous, and using this to kill a cultivator's soul seemed difficult.
"Why does the face in this illustration look like mine?"
Li Muyang was dumbfounded for a moment, subconsciously touching his own face.
Everything about this Mysterious Immortal Master's character card was great; it's just that the facial features exactly matched Li Muyang's.
—Or rather, the thing was practically a photograph of Li Muyang!
"Could it be because of the real mode?"
Li Muyang hesitated, speculating as such.
Clearly, in the previous game's opening animation, Immortal Master Nan Hua looked nothing like him.
But with real mode, after personally entering the game and clearing it, the character card had transformed into his likeness.
"This game feels a bit strange this time,"
Li Muyang frowned as he said.
He always felt that "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" was somewhat off.
It claimed to be set in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but aside from the NPCs with Three Kingdoms character IDs and health bars above their heads, there was hardly any Three Kingdoms element to it.
Intuition told Li Muyang that this "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" was different from the previous two games.
Yet he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly the difference was.
"Forget it, if it looks the same, it's the same. It's just a character card, and I might not even use it in the future,"
Li Muyang exited the system interface and turned to walk out of the forest.
To clear "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles", he had pulled several all-nighters in a row. Now that the game was cleared, it was time for a well-deserved rest.
The withered seeds in the ground also needed to be replanted.
Although he didn't rely on farming for a living, if he wanted to live a peaceful life at the Refinement Demon Sect, then he'd have to keep up with the facade of being a spiritual plant farmer.
However, according to his current progress, Li Muyang had already reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage; it wouldn't be long before he reached the Great Perfection of the ninth level.
When that time came, he could proceed to the Foundation Establishment, becoming a true cultivator, and then consider leaving the Refinement Demon Sect.
The Cultivation Technique given to outer sect disciples by the Refinement Demon Sect only went up to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
For his next game clear reward, Li Muyang definitely had to choose a secret manual for cultivation.
For Li Muyang moving forward, a cultivation manual was going to be a necessity.
