The couple stared at the phone screen, listening intently to what Mr. Spirit Crows had to say next.

"In the Supernatural Domain, any attempt to take shortcuts cannot avoid the cost. Forcibly advancing to a Warrior through blood sacrifice is no exception.

"Most people might not know that, in essence, a blood sacrifice is using a Super Converter to transform the life and soul power of the offering into other forms of power.

"And the ’Super Converter’ I’m talking about is actually something of an extremely high level.

"Each blood sacrifice is equivalent to borrowing the power of the Super Converter. Do you think such power would let you use it for free?

"With an ordinary mortal’s insignificant body, to wield an unimaginably powerful force—how could there not be a price to pay?"

The couple nodded repeatedly as they listened.

Erin showed a thoughtful expression: "Makes a lot of sense."

Ha Xiaofu looked at the matter from a different angle: "A big shot is a big shot, just a few simple words, and he explains the essence of a blood sacrifice so clearly."

Erin also noticed one key point: "Mr. Spirit Crows says the Converter is an ’unimaginably powerful force.’ Perhaps even a big shot like him can’t reach this level of power."

Ha Xiaofu speculated: "The creature that created blood sacrifice might be something more terrifying than a Venerable."

Canglan Star is a networked society, and the division of ranks like Warrior, Knight, and Venerable has now become common knowledge, even for children.

On the screen.

Yang Fan revealed a faint smile: "Now everyone must be very curious about what the cost of a blood sacrifice is."

He paused and uttered a word: "Contamination!"

A woman’s voice, full of strength and intention, suddenly came through: "What do you mean by contamination?"

With this voice, the camera slightly adjusted its angle.

A very beautiful female soldier appeared on the edge of the screen.

This shot was quite intriguing.

Mr. Spirit Crows still occupied the central region of the screen, while the female soldier’s back remained outside the frame.

In terms of height, the female soldier’s head barely reached the height of Mr. Spirit Crows’ waist.

The official photographer used this shot to convey a visual language—beside Mr. Spirit Crows, the female soldier was an insignificant presence.

Erin took a glance at the side of the female soldier’s face, her eyes brightened: "So beautiful!"

Ha Xiaofu let out a "Hmm," his eyes full of amazement: "Indeed, beautiful."

This was a beauty that hit the aesthetic point for both men and women simultaneously.

It’s not a frail beauty, but one that perfectly blends strength and delicacy.

In the scene.

Yang Fan did not immediately answer the question: "Explaining contamination with language might not be very intuitive, so let me change the approach."

The moment he said "change the approach,"

the scene suddenly flickered.

The elegant teahouse disappeared, and Spirit Crow’s Nest was nowhere in sight.

In its place was an enclosed space, resembling a basement.

"Hiss—"

This sounded like a gasp from the photographer, indicating he was quite startled.

Yang Fan explained: "This is the Dongli Kingdom. Yesterday, Great Xia discovered the traces of a blood sacrifice here."

Ha Xiaofu directly exclaimed: "Wow! He’s absolutely incredible!"

Erin was also quite taken aback.

Ha Xiaofu added: "Any country where Carmenians are stationed might have blood sacrifice incidents. I suppose that’s why he suddenly went to the Dongli Kingdom, probably to warn other countries."

Erin nodded: "That should be the case."

On the screen.

Yang Fan softly said: "Great Xia and Dongli Kingdom collaborated on a detailed investigation, and there is ample evidence that at least 2,000 foreign laborers have gone missing.

"They all came from the Southern East Continent countries, and those countries are currently in turmoil, utterly incapable of tracking this down.

"If Great Xia hadn’t intervened, they might forever remain unnoticed, like dust."

When he mentioned "like dust," Mr. Spirit Crows’ tone noticeably became somber.

Erin was suddenly moved and remarked: "Mr. Spirit Crows is a great person."

She came from a nation that wasn’t very powerful, with several friends who mysteriously disappeared, so she felt deeply for the plight of these foreign laborers.

Someone like Mr. Spirit Crows, a super-powerful individual, yet willing to stand up for the most humble people, deeply touched her.

Ha Xiaofu cursed: "The Carmenians are truly a cancer to Canglan Star!"

On the screen.

The female soldier posed a question: "Did the missing ones become victims of the blood sacrifices?"

Yang Fan nodded: "Yes."

As he took a few steps in the basement, he sighed: "When the Carmenians withdrew their troops, this altar was dismantled. But I can still smell the stench emitted from the blood sacrifice."

The female soldier wrinkled her nose: "Mr. Spirit Crows, I don’t seem to smell anything."

Yang Fan explained: "The ’stench’ I’m referring to isn’t in the conventional sense of smell but rather a kind of soul affinity.

"When your soul intensely rejects a certain force, if you come into contact with that force, you’ll experience a strong repulsion.

"The stench experienced at this time is essentially feedback from the soul.

"Conversely, when encountering an environment that resonates with your inner self, your soul will feel relaxed and joyful, and you’ll detect a fragrant scent at the tip of your nose."

He paused, then added: "There’s also a critical prerequisite that the soul must be strong enough to sense the supernatural powers present in the surroundings."

The female soldier suddenly realized: "I see."

This was considered top-tier ’online science popularization’ by a big shot, so Ha Xiaofu and his wife listened especially attentively.

Ha Xiaofu then recalled something: "I saw a post online before where someone said they smelled a very faint fragrance whenever there was heavy snow. At the time, many people said there was something wrong with their nose. Now it makes sense."
