Fang Qing heard crisp, rhythmic birdsong in her ears, and consciousness returned as she opened her dark eyes.She sprang to her feet, alert, and surveyed her surroundings.This was clearly a ruined temple, its grey walls riddled with holes. To her left was an opening just large enough for two people to pass side by side; to her right stood only the half-body of a shattered statue. Dust and tattered cobwebs clung to every surface, lending the place a forlorn air.Once she was sure there was no danger, Fang Qing summoned the world information and main quest details for this realm. Every Contracted Member receives a summary of world data upon entry, so they can understand the setting and complete their missions more effectively. The main quest, unlike optional tasks, is mandatory—success brings rewards, failure incurs punishment.Current World: Xiaoyao RealmWorld Level: 1–???World Difficulty: Purgatory (all Core Contracted Member Trials are Purgatory difficulty)World Progress: 0.00% (increases through interaction and exploration; the member’s power rating affects gains; final score combines world progress and quest difficulty)World Description: A {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} standard xianxia cultivation world, with cultivators who fly and tunnel through earth, fierce beasts dwelling in mountains and seas, and oblivious mortals drifting through life.Main QuestQuest Level: Lv27Objective: Obtain the hidden Wood Kirin Fragment within the Fire-Gold Sect by any means and hold it for twenty-four hours.Description: The Fire-Gold Sect is a major power near Weiping City; the Contracted Member is already nearby.Time Limit: 60 daysReward: Official promotion to Core Contracted MemberFailure Penalty: Permanently lose the chance to become a Core Contracted MemberFrowning, Fang Qing realized how perilous her first mission would be.What kind of power did cultivators possess? From the beaten man’s explanations, she learned that worlds often contained formidable systems of strength—and the cultivation hierarchy topped that list. Cultivators progressed through many major realms, from Qi Refinement to multiple Tribulation stages. At higher levels, feats like moving mountains or filling seas were as easy as a wave of the hand.Fang Qing knew her own prowess—and she would be helpless against such foes. Though high-level cultivators were rare, a single misstep could mean death and oblivion.Yet she had to complete the quest, for the reward was too valuable. She knew little of Core Contracted Member privileges, but she knew they far exceeded those of ordinary members—and those privileges were crucial to achieving her goals.Resolved, Fang Qing began to act. In this dangerous world, she needed more power to survive and fulfill her mission. She had already considered what to use Dark Conversion on: her prized blade, Wu Qian. Though precious as a gift from her parents, it was also her strongest equipment. Once she knew the stakes, any hesitation vanished—she needed strength above all.Fang Qing held Wu Qian in both hands and activated her talent, Dark Conversion. A swirl of black and white light rose from her chest, engulfing the blade in her palms until it vanished without a trace.Immediately, the Holy Sanctuary notified her:[Dark Conversion talent activated. Selected item Wu Qian is converting. Estimated completion: 4 hours 39 minutes. Current Dark Energy: 0%.]Understanding that Wu Qian would need time to transform, Fang Qing decided to use the interval for something vital: familiarizing herself with her new body. Not by disrobing, but by practicing her sword techniques to refine her control—after all, the leap from male to female form, and a one-centimeter drop in height from 1.7 m to 1.6 m, would affect her combat performance. Even a slight shift in posture or timing could weaken her blade work. She had to recalibrate.Gripping an imaginary long sword, Fang Qing began rehearsing the forms she had always used.…As the sun dipped below the horizon and night settled in, Fang Qing paused her practice. After several hours, she felt a significant improvement in her control—perhaps seventy percent of her former precision. And according to the Sanctuary, Wu Qian’s conversion was complete.Wu QianTier: Stage 2 GoldenOrigin: Talent – Dark ConversionDurability: 120/120Attack Power: 51–60Equip Requirement: Owner of Dark Conversion talentPassive: Soul’s Will – bound to its wielder’s soul; as long as the owner lives, the sword perseveresPassive: Dark Devour – can consume weapons of equal tier to upgrade its own tierPassive: Bloodthirst – after killing with Wu Qian, the wielder may absorb the target’s blood energy, increasing the blade’s sharpness and storing blood energy (if blood energy is not absorbed for long, this passive becomes unstable)Current Sharpness: 0/50Active: Blood Surge – consume stored blood energy to boost physical and energy strength; duration depends on stored amountActive: Blood Infuse – consume stored blood energy to coat the blade, causing vulnerability, bleeding, and suppressed healing in targetsCurrent Blood Energy: 0%Rating: 30+Description: A demon blade whose potential is unleashed by dark infusion; it possesses immense growth and power.Seeing these stats, Fang Qing finally understood why her talent was S-rank. Previously, Wu Qian was simply sharp and durable—but now its transformation was world-shaking. All thanks to her gift.Fang Qing studied the sword’s new appearance. It measured 120 cm; the blade was black as ink, its edge pure white, the two hues sharply divided. The guard was a circular disk etched with grotesque patterns—at first glance meaningless, but with closer inspection, demonic faces sneered from its surface. The hilt bore a different motif: a lush meadow teeming with life.She sheath­ed Wu Qian, stepped out of the ruined temple into the growing darkness, and set off—for one reason: she was hungry.
