Chapter 22 Repair Pill
Repairing Chu Chu's spiritual root is actually quite simple; one repair pill would suffice. However, for someone of her level, let alone one, even ten repair pills wouldn't be of any use. So, she shouldn't get her hopes up. Lu Jinyan looked at the system's somewhat sly expression and felt utterly speechless.
She was well aware of the system's little scheme; it simply wanted her to spend more points to level up. This system often tricked her into spending points, and she would be a fool not to understand. However, with each system upgrade, she would receive much better rewards. Even if the system did this, she would still work hard to earn points and level up.
After all, who would want something bad when there's something good? It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, so she naturally wouldn't stop it.
The system simply wanted to take advantage of her kindness towards Chuchu and make her spend some points; it wasn't a big deal.
The repair pill would benefit Chu Chu. She considered Chu Chu a good friend and sister, so naturally she couldn't bear to part with it. She also had a mission to complete and couldn't stay here indefinitely. The demon realm was not like the human realm; it was fraught with danger. Although she couldn't cultivate, she had pills from the system that could help her improve her cultivation.
She was the kind of person who treated pills like candy, so naturally she wasn't worried about her cultivation level. As long as she consumed enough pills, her cultivation level would naturally improve. But once she gave those pills to someone else, they would truly be no different from candy.
The system said that only she could eat that thing; it would be useless to others. Therefore, if Chu Chu wanted to improve her cultivation, she could only rely on her own cultivation, but her current state was naturally not suitable.
She will go to many places in the future. If Chu Chu wants to stay by her side, she must have the ability to protect herself. If she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself, her future may be dangerous.
Of course, if she were strong enough, she could protect Chu Chu. However, at her current pace, she probably has a long way to go to become strong. Two weaklings wandering the world would just be two sitting ducks.
So naturally she wouldn't be stingy with those points. However, when Lu Jinyan opened the system shop and found the Repair Pill, she discovered that the page was grayed out. The system said that she would only have the right to purchase those items after she reached level three.
This surprised Lu Jinyan somewhat. So, with the system upgrade, the system shop will also be upgraded? Wouldn't that mean she'll be able to buy even better things in the future?
This deal is a great deal!
However, when Lu Jinyan saw the price of the Repair Pill, she still felt a pang of pain. Ten thousand points! A whole ten thousand! That's several times more expensive than the Transformation Pill!
However, the system said that this repair pill is much more precious than the transformation pill. It is much more expensive in the demon realm and is almost impossible to find. After all, there are many little demons like them with damaged spiritual roots. If everyone could buy repair pills and resume cultivation, wouldn't that be chaos?
While the repair pills available on the market can repair damaged spiritual roots, they cannot restore them completely; at most, they can only repair them by 50-60%. However, the pills produced by the system are naturally not that bad, providing at least 60-70% repair. Although the repaired spiritual roots can still be cultivated, the progress will be much slower than that of normal demons.
But at least you can cultivate now, right? Demons have long lifespans, so as long as you cultivate diligently, you will reap the rewards.
Lu Jinyan didn't expect Chu Chu to be very capable, but at least she should be able to protect herself, so that she could feel at ease keeping her by her side.
Points don't matter; she's already saved over 20,000, enough to buy Chu Chu a healing pill. The problem is that upgrading the system to level three is a bit troublesome. At this rate, the system won't be able to upgrade until she successfully wins over Mo Xuan.
During that time, they still needed some self-defense items, so Lu Jinyan gave Chuchu a pair of Shadow Chasing Bracelets and a Moon Goddess Bell. Although they had a system with them that could remind them of their safety at any time, it was better to be safe than sorry.
It never hurts to have some self-defense items on hand!
When worn normally, the Shadow Chasing Bracelets look like an ordinary pair of bracelets, serving as an ornament. However, those in the know can discern their rank as magical artifacts. But the items given by the system, although of low rank, are actually equivalent to many mid-rank magical artifacts in the demon realm.
It's enough to deal with some ordinary little demons. The Moon Goddess Bell is the same; it's usually worn on the waist as an ornament. It just so happens that Lu Jinyan also carries these two, so they make a matching set, which is quite nice.
After all, it would be somewhat incongruous for delicate beauties like them to carry a sword, especially since she didn't know how to use it.
After leaving the Demon Bureau, Lu Jinyan led Chu Chu toward Uncle Mu's inn. Mo Xuan remained quietly wrapped around Lu Jinyan's wrist the whole time, without uttering a single word.
That's because he was intently searching for Chu Li's aura, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any clues. What Mo Xuan didn't know was that due to the system's limited level, the isolation shield she provided actually had a drawback.
The advantage of an isolation shield is that it can isolate one's own aura, making it impossible for outsiders to detect one's presence. However, its disadvantage is that while isolating one's own aura and preventing outsiders from detecting one's presence, it also blocks spells that can probe outwards from within the shield.
In other words, even if Chu Li stood in front of Mo Xuan, they wouldn't be able to sense each other's presence. Lu Jinyan was aware of this drawback; the system had informed her of it when she made the purchase.
However, she had neither magical power nor the need to probe for any external aura, so she didn't pay any attention. Anyway, she had a system that could inform and remind her of any danger within a five-mile radius, so she didn't need to go to such lengths.
So she had long forgotten about it, which is why Mo Xuan had tried to contact Chu Li but had not succeeded since he regained some of his magical power.
For example, at this moment, Chu Li, who was painstakingly probing for auras, was passing by Lu Jinyan with his subordinates, but they seemed to have no sense of each other's information at all.
If Mo Xuan knew that the person he had gone to so much trouble to find was right passing by him, he would be furious.
Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing, to Uncle Mu's inn. As soon as they entered, they saw Aunt Chun cleaning.
"Aunt Chun!" Lu Jinyan quickly stepped forward and took the broom from Aunt Chun's hand.
"Yan'er is here? Oh, it's alright, I'm here. You can sit down and rest for a while. This is..." Aunt Chun said, trying to take the broom from Lu Jinyan's hand, but then she noticed a little girl in pink next to Lu Jinyan, who looked very unfamiliar.
"Aunt Chun, it's me, Chu Chu!" Chu Chu quickly went over.
"Chu Chu? You're Chu Chu? You've transformed?" Aunt Chun exclaimed in surprise. She had always known that Lu Jinyan had a good friend who hadn't yet transformed. She had chatted with Chu Chu when she visited Lu Jinyan's house before.
I never expected that this girl would actually transform into human form after only a few days. That's really something.
"Yes, Aunt Chun, I successfully transformed!" Chu Chu was very happy and spun around twice in front of Aunt Chun.
"Good, good, good child, not bad at all! Now Yan'er will have a companion!" Aunt Chun nodded repeatedly, feeling very happy.
"Aunt Chun, where's Uncle Mu? Why are you all alone here?" Lu Jinyan asked with a smile as she helped Aunt Chun sweep the floor.
"Your Uncle Mu went to the new shop. They started renovations there today, and he has to go over and keep an eye on things, so I'm watching over things here." Aunt Chun smiled and poured two glasses of water for the two of them.
"The shop has already started renovations? So fast?" Lu Jinyan was surprised. Uncle Mu's efficiency was too high! The shop was only secured the day before yesterday, and the renovations started today.
"Hey, that old guy, he can't sit still. He says the shop is all set up, and the sooner it's finished being renovated, the sooner it'll open. Every day it's delayed, the more money he loses. So yesterday morning he went to find the renovation workers, but he was worried they wouldn't understand your drawings, so he went over to keep an eye on things this morning!"
As she spoke, Aunt Chun got up and poured a glass of water for Lu Jinyan and Chu Chu each.
"Uncle Mu is thinking of opening as soon as possible, and it would be good to start decorating sooner. Oh, by the way, Aunt Chun, this is the recipe I wrote. Please take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be improved or added. If you think it is okay, I will come over tomorrow to teach you how to cook it." Lu Jinyan took the written recipe out of her bosom and handed it over.
"Hey, sure, of course! As long as it's written by you, Yan'er, it's fine. I don't trust anyone else, but I definitely trust you, Yan'er. I don't need to look at it. Just come over tomorrow." Aunt Chun took the recipe and put it away without even looking at it.
She had complete confidence in Lu Jinyan's cooking skills, so it didn't matter whether she watched or not.
“Alright, I’ll come over first thing tomorrow morning. Aunt Chun can just prepare all the materials according to what I wrote down.”
Lu Jinyan smiled and agreed. She really liked the feeling of being trusted. Mo Xuan watched all this quietly without saying a word. But for some reason, he also felt a little happy, although he didn't know why he was happy.
Lu Jinyan helped Aunt Chun tidy up with Chu Chu, then chatted with her for a while before leaving with Chu Chu. The two strolled around the street for a while, bought a bunch of things, and then reluctantly went home.
Mo Xuan didn't say a word the whole way, which made Lu Jinyan forget about him. When she got home, the first thing she did was go to her room to change into some clothes that would be easier to do chores, and then she would water the vegetable garden behind the house.
"Stop!" Lu Jinyan had just taken off her outer garment when she heard a cold voice.
"
