Chapter 12: Application of Abilities, Accepting Gokou Ruri as a Follower.
As Zhongli sensed the two new spiritual techniques appearing in his mind, a slight smile curved his indifferent lips.
【Dual-wielding Hands】, one of the eight extraordinary skills appearing in Under One Person, is a skill coveted and fought over by extraordinary individuals throughout the world.
It possesses extremely strong healing abilities, especially when it falls into the hands of Zhongli, whose medical skills are at max level (LV5).
Healing capabilities will only become stronger
Similarly, despite its seemingly healing nature, the Dual-Handed Swordsmanship is actually extremely powerful in terms of damage output.
If touched by the red or blue hand, even a slight alteration to the body or soul can cause damage, with damage to the soul being the most terrifying.
It was also because of Zhongli's medical skills.
He was acutely aware of the fragility and lethality of the human body; even touching just a finger could instantly kill a person.
It can be said that the dual-wielding technique not only solved Zhongli's survivability problem, but also further enhanced his lethality.
In addition, Zhongli thought of many other applications of the dual-wielding ability.
After all, it involves the manipulation and modification of the body and soul, and the abilities that can be developed are numerous, and it is not even limited to the human body; other animals can also be affected.
Everything depends on how high the level of thought and knowledge the person with the ability possesses.
As for the second spiritual technique, [Words of Infinite Deception], it is also an extremely powerful ability.
A lie that is denied by others can become reality.
Therefore, Zhongli didn't need any sophisticated deception techniques.
A clumsy lie can be easily dismissed.
Once you deny the enemy, you're not far from death.
Besides killing enemies, Kotoba's Infinite Deception can be used in many other situations to produce various effects, depending on whether Zhongli can keep up with it.
The only thing to be careful about is using your abilities as little as possible.
If you overuse it, people will discover the true nature of your ability. As long as you don't respond to the lies, your ability will be half-useless.
Therefore, Kotoha's infinite deception will more often be used as a trump card by Zhongli.
In short, the two evolved spiritual arts gave Zhongli a great deal of room for maneuver.
When Zhongli was learning spiritual arts, Gokou Ruri's father appeared.
No matter how much Wugeng Ruri called out, Wugeng Zhenxiong did not wake up.
Even when Chen Miaomiao went to check on him, she couldn't fully wake him up.
Because of the influence of the unknown coffin, Wugeng Zhenxiong fell into an eternal sleep of body and soul.
Chen Miaomiao used the neuro-worm to awaken her physical body, but she couldn't awaken her soul, leaving her like a vegetable.
"So, is Dad destined to become a vegetable?"
Ruri Gokou looked at the peacefully sleeping Shigeo Gokou, her face filled with sorrow.
They had already been rescued, so why did they become a vegetable?
Thinking of all this, even though she was strong-willed and hadn't cried when facing the coffin bearer head-on, Gokou Ruri's eyes reddened and tears flowed involuntarily.
Zhongli, who had just finished learning the spiritual arts, heard Wugeng Liuli crying beside him and turned to look at Chen Miaomiao in confusion.
"What's going on? Hasn't the person woken up yet?"
Zhongli knew about the eternal sleep in the unknown coffin.
That's why he waited on the sidelines to learn spiritual arts, so that Chen Miaomiao could try to awaken Wugeng Zhenxiong.
Chen Miaomiao shook her head.
"I don't have the Gu worm to awaken the soul, so I can only take it back to the company to take a look."
In fact, Chen Miaomiao does have Gu worms that target the soul, but those are only for killing and supernatural purposes, and they can't save people.
Ruri Gokou, who was standing nearby, heard that her father could still be saved and was about to say something.
After thinking for a moment, Zhongli spoke first.
"I see. I'll give it a try. Maybe I have a solution."
As he spoke, he knelt down beside Wugeng Zhenxiong, his hands glowing with a blue light, and pressed them directly onto his head, attempting to awaken his soul.
Ruri Gokou watched expectantly from the side.
A strange and puzzled look appeared on Chen Miaomiao's face.
She could tell that the previous Void Tears was a supernatural power, so she didn't find it strange.
After all, Zhongli is a Heavenly Blessed One with Heavenly Fortune, so his awakening will inevitably grant him supernatural powers.
But where did this inexplicable spiritual magic come from?
Could it be, like cultivation methods, that he was also self-taught?
Is her brother Zhong so outstanding that he can create his own spiritual arts?
The more Chen Miaomiao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
After all, she had witnessed Zhongli's genius firsthand.
She has never seen anyone possess the combat power to rival a lower-level spirit mage at the mortal stage.
Even among the geniuses of the sects in the Celestial Empire, none of them were so extraordinary in their mortal lives.
While Chen Miaomiao was deep in thought, Zhong Li had already completed the awakening of her soul.
Ultimately, it's a low-level supernatural method. Awakening a soul isn't that difficult; the difficulty lies in not having the means.
As his hands loosened, Gokyo Shigeo slowly opened his eyes and saw the three people in front of him.
Zhongli was a stranger to Chen Miaomiao, but he was very familiar with his own daughter, Wugeng Liuli.
He immediately sat up from the ground, and the team and Liuli said nervously.
"Liuli, where is the monster?"
And who are these two?
Seeing her father wake up, Gokou Ruri happily wiped away her tears and explained the current situation.
After hearing the explanation, Wugeng Zhenxiong finally understood the situation.
He immediately turned to Zhongli and Chen Miaomiao, solemnly bowed, and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you both, Onmyoji, for saving my family. I will give you 100 million Sakura Coins as a token of my gratitude for saving my life."
I know this amount of money is insignificant to the two adults, but it is all the money my family has.
So please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything done for you in the future.
Seeing this, the five glass figures standing to the side also performed a proper dogeza (a type of prostration).
Chen Miaomiao looked at Zhong Li. She usually didn't charge for company assignments because Sakura had already paid her, unless she took on private commissions.
However, it depends on what Zhongli thinks now, since she prioritizes Zhongli.
Seeing that Chen Miaomiao was giving him the choice, Zhong Li waved his hand.
"No need for money, your daughter can stay with me from now on."
He was not short of money at all, but after experiencing the supernatural world, Zhongli felt it was still very necessary to train some subordinates.
Gokage Ruri, who has awakened supernatural powers and is a chosen one, is quite good.
Yes, Zhongli recognized Gokou Ruri.
I didn't recognize him at first, but I recognized him when I woke up Wugeng Zhenxiong.
When Gokou Ruri heard Zhongli ask her to come along, her face immediately lit up with excitement, and she was overjoyed.
Don't let her seemingly normal demeanor fool you; she's actually a severe case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
It's just that because of his precocious personality, he can hide his childish side and not worry his parents.
She was really looking forward to being able to follow Zhong Li into mysterious events.
Wu Geng Zhenxiong was also very excited, as he understood all too well the benefits of being by Zhong Li's side.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a leap in social class.
Even the newly awakened Gokou Ruri can be guided, since having guidance makes a difference between having guidance and not having it.
"Yes, Onmyoji, from now on you will be taking care of Ruri."
Wu Gengzhenxiong nodded excitedly.
The subsequent events were somewhat affected by the fact that the company's mission had been completed and three people had died nearby.
Chen Miaomiao called someone from her company to come and handle the aftermath.
Zhongli then told Wugeng Liuli about registering at Yilutong Company the next day.
To be honest, Zhongli doesn't have many resources to train Wugeng Liuli, so it would be better to register her under the company's name and help train her.
Furthermore, Ruri Gokou is a student at Sakura United School, and she will also register after awakening.
So it was just a side trip.
Before leaving, Zhongli used his double-handed technique to blur the memories of Gokou Ruri's mother and two younger sisters.
The three of them were traumatized by the incident and remained in a dazed state.
Only then did Zhong Li take Chen Miaomiao away and ride his bicycle to send her back to the company dormitory.
He also exchanged some cultivation supplies at the company before going home.
Chapter 13: Review of Task Exchanges and Frenzied Drug Use for Cultivation.

Zhongli returned home and sat on the sofa, taking stock of what he had gained from the mission.
He took out a small purple pouch, about the size of his palm, from his backpack. It was covered with intricate patterns.
The purple pouch is called the "Empty Pouch," a low-grade spiritual artifact with a storage capacity of two cubic meters.
It was obtained by Zhongli after he completed the task, using a lower-level task point.
Zhongli opened the empty bag and took out four white porcelain bottles and a talisman.
The four white jade bottles contain spiritual energy pills for cultivation. They contain a large amount of active spiritual energy that is easy to absorb and can accelerate cultivation.
One bottle contains ten pills, four bottles contain forty pills, enough for a normal lower-level spirit mage to cultivate for a month or two.
As for the talisman, it is a life-saving talisman, capable of blocking one fatal attack.
After exchanging these, Zhongli used up five lower-level mission points.
Fold the life-saving talisman neatly and keep it close to your body, and place the four jade bottles on the table.
Zhongli glanced at the empty bag, where the unknown coffin was still stored, and then put the empty bag away.
He felt that this unknown coffin was so hard that it could not be broken except by spacetime properties, and that he might be able to use it as a shield in the future.
Then Zhongli took out her phone, opened the company system, and went to her personal interface.
Looking at the list above, he saw that he had used his last four lower-level mission points to exchange for three spiritual techniques and one type of knowledge.
He felt a pang of sadness, realizing he didn't have enough mission points. He had a lot of things he wanted to exchange for, but he was struggling because he didn't have enough mission points.
He had actually considered buying it with money, but unfortunately the company wasn't short of funds, which made him quite frustrated.
Zhongli's frustration was short-lived; he quickly opened the three spiritual techniques and began learning them.
Thanks to the system's learning capabilities, Zhongli quickly mastered it.
