Luo Hong flipped to the character statistics page, and the first thing he saw was the positive Sin Level.

He almost broke down in tears at that moment. It had not been easy for him to get to this point. After going through life and death, he finally boosted his Sin Level back to a positive number!

He finally regained the price of a Little B*stard!

If he remembered correctly, the last time he saw it, his Sin Level was -56, thus his killing Hu Zhishui and ruining his plan awarded him with 100 Sin Level!

Since the Sin Level he earned from the written target would be doubled, Luo Hong earned a net Sin Level of 50! He was over the moon. He felt a lot better as if the world had somehow turned cuter.

He finally found the correct way to open the cheating manual, so he flipped to the diary page for a quick check. He had become Hu Zhishui’s exclusive antagonist for the day.

“June 20th, the Great Xia Calendar. Sunny.

“I participated in the literature gathering at the Qinghua Theatre and exposed Hu Zhishui as an evil cultivator. I stopped him, ruined his plan, and managed to counter kill him in a desperate situation, Hu Zhishui couldn’t even his eyes in peace after he died.

“Diary entry, 50 Sin Level. Target is set as Today’s Target. Sin Level doubled.”

Luo Hong was extremely pleased with the diary entry.

As he slowly recovered from the excitement of his positive Sin Level, he noticed something else.

He looked at his State and realized that it had changed. His evil cultivation state had changed from Ninth Grade Jusha to Eighth Grade Shazhu!

“I’ve become stronger!” His eyes glistened brightly. “My grade has ascended! Maybe because my dantian volume is bigger now…”

Luo Hong was in deep thought.

His dantian had expanded because he had absorbed Lady Blood and Hu Zhishui’s yin energy. Both of them had been Eighth Grade evil cultivators. In other words, Luo Hong’s cultivation ascension was actually an invasive one as he had forcefully absorbed their energy for his own.

Jusha state was when the ominous yin energy started to gather at his dantian.

Shazhu state was when the volume of ominous yin energy had reached the threshold and had crystalized into a pearl-like form.

Luo Hong sat on his knees in excitement and started to cultivate Phantom Shadow.

The ominous yin energy in his body flowed swiftly and formed a vortex in his dantian.

However, he quickly realized that something was wrong. He surprisingly found out that due to the increased suction force in his dantian, he could not stop.

The yin energy flow in his body was too slow to keep up with the suction force and it shocked him. If he continued the cultivation, the suction force might suck the life out of him.

‘This lousy b*stard of a cultivation art!’ he cursed in his heart.

The cultivation process was important to his cultivation art. If he was any more careless, his own cultivation art might kill him instead.

Fortunately, he suddenly thought of the consolation prize that he had gotten before this.

He took the bottle of low-grade Jusha Pills out and poured them all into his mouth. He had to pinch his nose when he took the pills due to the smell, but he forced himself to consume them because his life depended on it.

He chewed the pills for a while before swallowing all of it.

The effect of the pills quickly came into play by providing yin energy to his body. The energy spread from his stomach and was absorbed into his dantian.

Luo Hong calmed himself down and continued the process.

The room became quiet, which made the moonlight feel cold.

He sat with his legs crossed as if he was a Buddha statue. The bold yang energy in him got brighter as if he had the summer sun in him, and it somehow lit up the entire room.

However, the situation inside his body was completely different. The ominous yin energy in his dantian was rumbling like a raging storm. His dantian felt like a sea of yin energy, and there was a whirlpool in the middle of it, sucking everything inside.

As though his dantian was refining some wicked medical pill and it used Luo Hong’s body as the furnace.

Some time later, when the eastern sky started to turn bright, Luo Hong finally finished his cultivation. He slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his mouth, he spat black muddled qi out.

“I did it.” Luo Hong showed a smile on his pale face.

He was able to ‘see’ the black pearl that had formed in his dantian. The pearl was formed using the energy, and it was constantly absorbing the yin energy from all over his body to strengthen himself.

He closed his eyes. At the thought of it, a black pearl the size of his knuckle appeared beside him. The pearl was formed purely out of his energy.

Buzz!

When Di Shan and Hu Zhishui’s shadows popped up from his own shadow, Luo Hong could tell that he had better control over them.

“So, this is the Shazhu, the sha energy pearl? You are really a little imp. You almost sucked me dry!” he grumbled.

It had been quite dangerous just now. If he had not consumed the bottle of Jusha pills, his life force might have been sucked away.

No wonder the evil cultivators were all barely human. Cultivating a wicked cultivation art was dangerous.

Huh?

Luo Hong suddenly felt that his mind was connected to the sha pearl and that the connection was an unique one.

As he pictured the form of a sword in his mind, the black pearl melted like snow before it reformed itself into the shape of a sword.

Luo Hong’s eyes glistened as he reached out to grab the sword.

Buzz!

The sword qi in his body resonated with the sword in his hand! It seemed like the sword matched the sword qi in his body well.

More importantly, the Shazhu sword was sharper than a real sword, and it was beautifully formed.

After playing with it for a while, Luo Hong kept the sha pearl back into his dantian for safekeeping.

He continued flipping through the human skin manual.

It was already the 21st of the month, five days after the Prize Pool was updated.

The next thing would be checking the newly updated Prize Pool.

[Prize Pool]

Special Prize: Heavenly Demon Indestructible Body (Sin Level: +?? …? Exchangeable)

First Prize: Demon Overlord’s Eye (Sin Level +1,000,000. Exchangeable)

Second Prize, Completed Heaven State Demon Cultivation Arts, Wicked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra. (Sin Level +10,000. Exchangeable)

Third Prize: Damaged Mask of the Evil Gent (Sin Level +45 to +90. Exchangeable)

Consolation Prize: A tasty Jusha Pill (Sin Level +10/-1 ~ ??…? Exchangeable)

The Prize Pool had changed a bit, but the special prize remained. The Heavenly Demon Indestructible Body remained at the top.

Maybe because the manual assumed Luo Hong would never get it, it did not update the special prize. Even the first prize remained the same. Only the second and third prizes had changed. As for the consolation prize, Luo Hong chuckled when he looked at it.

“Even with my 44 Sin Level, the only thing I can exchange for is the…consolation prize?”

He realized a disappointing fact after a quick glance. Even though the third prize lowered its requirement, he was only eligible to exchange for the consolation prize.

Would he just settle for a tasty Jusha Pill? No!

He wanted to go for the third prize. After all, he was only 1 Sin Level away!

Luo Hong looked at the sky. Dawn had arrived in the eastern sky.

‘It’s time to harvest my daily crop!’

He kept the manual, got up, and left his own courtyard. He dashed to Luo Xiaoxiao’s courtyard.

The maid in Luo Xiaoxiao’s courtyard covered her mouth in shock when she saw Luo Hong.

Luo Hong smiled warmly. He put his finger in front of his mouth to tell her to keep quiet before he snuck into Luo Xiaoxiao’s courtyard under the excited gaze of the maid.

A while later, Luo Xiaoxiao’s terrified cry came from her room. “Stupid brother, I don’t want to listen to your stories anymore!”

After he ‘physically’ moved the little girl, Luo Hong returned to his courtyard happily. The maids saw him off as if they were looking at a demon.

He reopened the manual and saw a +1 Sin Level at the diary page after telling the story to Luo Xiaoxiao. Added with his original 44 Sin Level, he now met the requirement to exchange for the third prize.

As for why he did not scold Little Douhua, he could not think of a reason to do so at the start of the day. Therefore, he decided to go to Luo Xiaoxiao since it was simpler and easier.

He took a deep breath and flipped to the Prize Pool. The grayed-out third prize finally glowed in green.

He looked at it and his consciousness started to fade.

After his mind calmed down from the dizziness, he regained his sight and before he knew it, he was holding half a mask in his hand.
