My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 45, The First Strand of Hatred

Edith ultimately failed to kill the Blood Demon here.

Looking at the starry night witch in the distance, so withered and dry, she couldn't help but feel sorrow for the sorcerer.

Although he didn't die, he was only one step away from death.

"Actually, you could have stopped Sargeras, couldn't you?"

Pavitt did not answer, but simply closed his eyes tightly, like a frozen sculpture.

"How tragic."

Edith shook her head, crushed the Blood Demon Heart she had pulled out of her hand, and prepared to leave.

Just then, a prayer book fell at Edith's feet.

That was Pavit's prayer book.

Edith picked it up, but suddenly realized that the prayer book was not the right weight.

Upon opening it, a key was found hidden inside.

"This is?"

Puzzled, Edith tried to spread the shadow.

They quickly found a encrypted space surrounded by a magic circle, hidden directly below the orphanage.

After a moment's thought, Edith led the frozen Pavit to the secret room.

Insert the key and turn the switch.

The scene before him caused Edith's pupils to constrict.

"How could this be? How is this possible?"

Edith muttered to herself, then noticed another wall covered with confessions.

"To Vichy..."

After reading for a few minutes, Edith immediately left the secret room. After pondering for a moment, she added a shadow seal to the room.

She couldn't let anyone else see what was inside the secret room.

She must find Vichy immediately.

......

at the same time.

Red Marrow Dungeon.

Vichy is experiencing the agony of being on the verge of death.

His fair skin was pierced by sharp thorns growing under his skin, his blood and qi were in complete disarray, and the fusion of bone and blood constantly burned his nerves.

This excruciating pain, comparable to being slowly sliced ​​to death, nearly caused Vichy to faint several times.

But each time, when she was on the verge of her limit, Shi Qing would always wake her up, hand her a pill, and clear her mind of distractions.

But they wouldn't let Vichy stop this painful and long transformation.

Looking at her like this, Shi Qing couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, the transformation of Yujin is not something that can be completed in one go.

Because the physical transformation is extremely painful, most cultivators undergo multiple reshaping processes.

Gold is forged through countless hammerings and forgings.

Even pills that alleviate pain and reduce the difficulty of transformation can be easily made by someone like Shi Qing, who has ample resources to guarantee their production.

Few monks would act so recklessly as Vishi.

But hard work always pays off.

After three days of self-refinement, the resistance gained from five bone temperings was finally condensed into a small spiritual core at her heart.

This means that she successfully survived that ordeal.

In an instant, his blood and qi surged wildly, rushing through his meridians. Vixi suddenly opened his eyes and swung a powerful punch forward!

In an instant, the dragon's might erupted, and the phantom of a golden dragon appeared behind her!

With a loud bang, a large bloody hole was punched into the corpse of the golden-scaled dragon, the cut surface of which was intact, and the stone wall behind it was also punched through!

Her powerful punches have become even stronger; Vichy is now confident that she can kill any second-tier monster with a single blow.

"Teacher! I did it!"

"See that! See that!"

Vichy skipped and jumped around, her face beaming with joy.

"I saw it, and the effect is alright, so-so."

Although Shi Qing said this, he actually quite acknowledged the true meaning that Vixi had cultivated.

Judging from this single punch alone, it can produce such power even without the enhancement of blood intent. Once the blood refining is completed, the power of the punch will likely be even greater.

Only then did Vichy truly gain the ability to protect himself from his own wing.

"What's wrong? You seem quite happy?"

"Hehe, no, not really."

Although Vichy said that, her silly grin completely betrayed her true thoughts.

"Actually, it's mainly because I've truly become a first-tier transcendent being."

"The nun always wanted me to study medicine and become a doctor; she felt that was the right path."

"So you've always wanted to prove yourself?"

Shi Qing teased, "Let me guess, are you planning to return like the Dragon King, show off your muscles to your foster mother, and maybe find some clueless neighbors to give them a good beating?"

Seeing that her fantasy had been exposed, Vichy blushed and dared not speak again.

"Hahaha! Oh, it's alright, this is normal. It's like wearing fine clothes in the dark if you don't return home in glory."

Shi Qing smiled; in fact, he had done this kind of thing before.

However, he was a little different from Vishi. After becoming a Golden Core cultivator, the first thing he did was to find his enemies and demand an explanation from them.

Vichy's eyes immediately lit up with anticipation as she asked, "So, teacher, can I go back for a day?"

"Alright, but you can't neglect your blood refining."

"Yay!"

After packing their luggage, they found a clean pool to wash away the filth on their bodies before Vichy and Shi Qing prepared to leave the underground city.

At this moment, Shi Qing frowned, sensing the presence of some visitors.

"Wait, someone's there."

"Um?"

Sure enough, a tall vampire woman walked out from around the corner.

Behind her stood a large group of soldiers, all fully armed, with one person being escorted in the middle.

It's Gabo.

"Hello, ma'am."

Edith lowered her head and looked at Vichy.

Vichy tensed up and immediately relaxed her body, allowing Shi Qing to control her.

This is not good. Gabo has been arrested. Could it be that her previous business of reselling spell templates has been exposed?

As I pondered this, the person before me spoke up.

"Vichy, I don't know why you are so wary of us and don't trust the Children of Shadows."

But there are some things I must tell you.

"Yes, the Blood Demon has returned to Redstone Town and attacked the Starry Night Witch, your foster mother, Sister Pavitt."

"...What did you say?"

Vichy suddenly looked up, and the cloak covering her head slowly slipped down, revealing a rather beautiful face.

This was the first time Edith had seen Vishi. She looked dazed, feeling that the girl was more like a warrior than a mage.

Composing herself, she said:

"I didn't lie. I had to resort to some rough methods to find you. Please forgive me."

As she spoke, Edith handed over a piece of glass containing her memories—the scene of her intercepting the Blood Demon.

For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet, but everyone could sense that Vichy's hands were trembling, and an emotion was spreading in the air.

"...The nun, is the nun alright?"

"Not very good. Although I used the Icebound Aura, it could only stop her death. And this is her keepsake."

"Thanks."

Unexpectedly, Vishi did not erupt; instead, she bypassed everyone and walked out of the underground city.

Wait until you find a secluded corner.

Vichy then lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot, as if a lion were lurking within them.

"Teacher, I'd like to hear your opinion."

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to kill Sargeras."
