(The soul doesn't disperse, and the skeletons don't decompose. After death, the corpse turns rigid, and you can cultivate the corpse into a demon and then into a drought demon. A drought demon is a rare creature under the heavens, which can avoid the Heavenly Dao three times.)
Can avoid the Heavenly Dao three times, what does it mean? Joohyun continued to read on.
(A drought demon has a Profound Fiend, and the Profound Fiend cannot be transformed. It can only be sealed, and it never dies. However, when a drought demon is born, the world will suffer a great drought.)
In other words, because it was hard to resolve a profound fiend, and the Heavenly Dao would spare him three times, a drought demon could only be sealed. However, every time the seal was lifted, and the drought demon came out, there would be a severe drought, until it was sealed again.
(The founder of our sect painstakingly studied this technique and discovered it. It can purify the profound fiend and kill the drought demon.)
So awesome? Joohyun couldn't wait to read on.
(It requires a person with great merit to sacrifice himself and extradite the evil spirit.)
What the hell? That is to say, to kill a drought demon, you must find a Celestial Master with great merits to die with the drought demon and sacrifice himself to save the world. How dare they pass down such a technique? Joohyun grumbled. She threw the silk cloth back into the box, and then continued to search for spiritual artifacts in the room.
After searching for it for a long time, there was nothing in the room that could be regarded as a spiritual artifact. Joohyun frowned and pondered for a long time. Then she remembered the spear that the zombie carried. She ran out of the room and picked up the long spear that had fallen beside a pile of dust.
The zombie's evil qi was still attached to the spear. Joohyun injected spiritual power to it, however, the injected spiritual power did not devour the residual evil qi on it. The two Qi coexisted and didn't interfere with each other.
Yes, it indeed was a spiritual artifact.
Joohyun happily carried the spear behind her. Just as she was about to climb out of the cave, she turned back and pulled away the wooden box in the stone chamber and the black armor on the zombie.
As for the night pearl on the wall, Joohyun gave it a thought. After all, it was also something of her sect. She was not poor enough to sell her property, so she didn't go to the wall and take them down.
Because the armor was too heavy, Joohyun divided it into two, before stepping on the flying compass and leaping back to the ground. Considering that it was so late, the cable cars must have been closed. Joohyun carried her harvest back to the stone chamber where the Luoshan Sect stored their magic artifacts. She planned to spend the night there and leave the next morning.
And because Joohyun was late in coming out, Lu Ning, Liang Guang and others kept waiting in the valley at the entrance of the cable cars. They appeared tense, observing the summit of the mountain. It seemed that as long as they kept watching, a miracle would happen.
"Brother Lu Ning, let's go back for now," Yan Xin couldn't help but say, "Her grandfather said that she will be fine."
Earlier, Lu Ning, Liang Guang and others were anxious when they confirmed that Joohyun had not come out from the magical barrier. Immediately, they rushed to the hotel to find Elder Wu and told him that Joohyun remained inside.
At that time, Elder Wu only raised his eyebrows in surprise. He obviously did not take it to heart. On the contrary, he also kindly reassured them, "Don't worry. That girl cannot die. You just finished the competition, so you should go home and rest for now."
After he finished speaking, he went back to his room to continue watching TV.
Lu Ning simply could not understand Elder Wu's reaction. He couldn't complain about his elders either, so he could only return to the valley once more and kept watch outside the magical barrier.
"Xin'er, if you're tired, you should go back," Lu Ning told Yan Xin without turning his head.
"But..." Yan Xin was about to say something else, but Yan Wei dragged her aside.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Yan Xin asked with a pout.
"Xin'er, when exactly can you be sensible?" Yan Wei's face was full of helplessness.
"What's wrong with me?" Yan Xin instantly expressed dissatisfaction at her brother's complaint.
"Joohyun is Aunt Lin's lifesaver, and the weight she carries in Lu Ning's heart is different from others."
Yan Xin felt disturbed because she knew Joohyun was special in Lu Ning's heart: "But her own grandfather said she was fine. Moreover, when Brother Lu Ning was in the magical barrier before, he wasted a lot of spiritual power. I just want him to go home early and rest."
"Xin'er, although we have known Lu Ning since we were very young, you should have figured out where exactly you stand." For the first time, Yan Wei said something harsh to his sister. "I know you like Lu Ning, but whether he likes you or not, you should not meddle in his affairs."
"Brother..." Yan Xin looked at her brother incredulously.
"In my heart, my sister has always been a very lovely girl. I don't want her to become rambunctious and spiteful," Yan Wei said in a serious tone.
"Brother, I..."
"It's useless for us to stay here. I'll take you back," Yan Wei finished speaking. He ignored Yan Xin's objection, turned around and walked back to Lu Ning. He said, "Lu Ning, I'll take Xin'er back. Send me a message if you have any news about Fellow Daoist Chen."
"Mm." Lu Ning nodded.
Yan Wei finished speaking and dragged his reluctant sister out of the valley on the cable car.
Liang Guang, who also stayed in place, could no longer restrain himself when it was taking Joohyun a long time to make an appearance. He couldn't help but start to ask Qin Guanhai, "Guanhai, did you sense danger when you sensed the magic artifact?"
"The time was too short, and I only had time to sense the magic artifact," Qin Guanhai said.
"Fellow Daoist Chen's cultivation is so powerful. She should be fine." After traveling within the magical barrier for a day, Shao Qi, more or less, had an in-depth experience about Joohyun's cultivation base.
The four stopped talking, found a stone to sit down on, and waited quietly until the sun rose from the east again. A piercing sound, as if something was rubbing the ground, broke the silence of the dawn. It caught the attention of several people, and the crowd turned their heads to look.
Joohyun, who was carrying her spear and dragging her long zombie armor, caused successive bangings along the way. She, who thought there must be no one outside this early, met four pairs of surprised eyes as soon as she came out of the cave.
"Hey, you're here so early?? It's over. The sect entrance is exposed.
"Irin!" Lu Ning regained her senses and ran toward ahead of the others.
"Fellow Daoist Chen." The rest of the three ran together right after him.
"You're all here." Joohyun smiled sheepishly.
"It's good that you're alright," Lu Ning checked Joohyun's condition. Seeing that she was in high spirits with sufficient spiritual power and looked much more energetic than them, he finally set his mind at ease.
Qin Guanhai, on the other hand, noticed the spear behind Joohyun and asked, "Is this the second magic artifact?"
"Yeah." Joohyun nodded.
"This armor too?" Liang Guang asked, looking at the seemingly heavy armor that Joohyun was dragging with both hands.
"This one isn't. It's something I picked from a zombie." Joohyun said, "That zombie has been around for years. The quality of the armor is so good. It's probably a good antique, so I'm going to take it out and see if I can sell it for some money."
"..." Why does it sound like it's reasonable when Fellow Daoist Chen does such a thing?
"Let me help you carry it." Seeing that Joohyun was hauling two pieces of armor with difficulty, Lu Ning reached over to help.
"No, no, it's quite heavy. I'll just do it myself," Joohyun refused.
"It's okay, I'll help you carry it." Lu Ning insisted on helping.
Since he was insistent, Joohyun released her hold.
"Thud!"
Lu Ning was almost brought to his knees by the heavy armor. Embarrassment immediately painted his face. He forced a smile and bent down to pick up the fallen armor. However... he could not drag it at all.
I told you it's heavy... Joohyun grumbled deep inside.
So the four men watched as a petite girl dragged two heavy armors and walked down the mountain at a fast pace. If it weren't for the fact that the tires of the car sank a lot when the armor was put into the car, they would have wondered if the episode in the valley was a dream.
When Joohyun returned to the hotel and just got out of the elevator, the internet addict next door, who had been playing games all night, opened the door and stared at the thing Joohyun was dragging in her hand with disgust: "Didn't you think of cleaning it up before bringing it back? It stinks to death."
"Your nose is too keen. Am I to blame?" Joohyun had purified the armor before she took it down the mountain. Although there was still some residual evil Qi left on it, it would not affect ordinary people. Elder Wu's cultivation was just too high, and his senses were much better than others.
Elder Wu took a glance at the armor and knew that it contained dense evil qi. It probably needed a second purification to completely clean it, so he did not say anything else. He just swept a glance at the spear on Joohyun's back and asked: "Have you found the spiritual artifact?"
"I found it." Joohyun nodded.
"You're bullshit luck." He himself had spent so many years in Qilian Mountain without finding it, and yet this girl found it as soon as she went.
"I'm in a good mood, so I won't argue with you." Joohyun did not get angry when Elder Wu commented on her luck. Instead, she took out the wooden box she brought out from the stone chamber and handed it to him, saying, "I found this together with the spiritual artifact."
Elder Wu reached out and took the box, examined it and said, "This has the unique seal of our Luoshan Sect on it."
Elder Wu opened the wooden box, saw the silk cloth inside, and then unfolded it. After reading the contents inside, his expression instantly became ugly.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Joohyun asked with concern, feeling that her grandpa's expression wasn't quite right.
"I didn't eat breakfast, so my blood sugar is low." Elder Wu folded the silk cloth, glanced at Joohyun, and instructed, "Pack up and go out to buy me breakfast. I want steamed buns at the sixth street corner and fresh soybean milk at the eighth."
After giving orders, Elder Wu closed the door and went back to his room.
If they weren't in a hotel, Joohyun would have rushed forward and kicked the door, but then she'd have to pay the hotel for a broken door.
Come on, I have fought a zombie for a whole night, yet he can't say a word of greeting on my return. I was even ordered to buy breakfast for an old man who plays games at home!!
The Capital, the Lou Residence.
With the return of the Ling Ji Sword, Lisa's memories of his previous life were becoming clearer and clearer, and he vaguely felt that the origin of his evil spirit should be during the Ling Ji Sword era.
Tian Fei prepared breakfast, stood at the door of Lisa's bedroom, waited for a few seconds, then turned around and went back downstairs. He sat on the sofa in the living room and sent a message to the group chat.
Tian Fei: (Young Master is still sleeping.)
He Qi: (Young Master seems to be sleeping a little longer recently.)
Cheng Peng: (Young Master doesn't seem to be sleeping well lately.)
Assistant A: (That's right. The last time I was on duty, I found that Young Master woke up three times at night and seemed to have some kind of nightmare.)
Assistant B: (One day at noon, the Young Master also took a nap for the first time. But when he woke up, he was pale, sweating profusely, and also seemed to have been startled awake.)
Tian Fei: (What's happening with Young Master?)
He Qi: (It may be related to those spiritual artifacts.)
Cheng Peng: (That's right. I think it was after the arrival of those spiritual artifacts that Young Master became like this.)
Assistant A: (Then... what are we going to do?)
He Qi: (Master Mao did not say that there is a problem with the spiritual artifact. Let's wait and see what happens.)
...
While the assistants were discussing, Lisa's dream made new progress. He dreamed that he brought Princess Ling Ji back to see his master in his previous life.
"Will your master like me?" Ling Ji asked worriedly.
"My master is very nice and loves me very much. As long as I like you, he will definitely like you." Feng Luo smiled to comfort her.
"Aren't all Celestial Masters Daoist priests? Can you really marry and have children?" Ling Ji asked curiously.
"You suspect that I am a Daoist priest, so why are you still with me?" Feng Luo retorted with a smile.
"I was going to let you return to the secular world, you know?" Ling Ji said with some embarrassment.
"You really..." Feng Luo was downright speechless.
"Hee-hee-hee..." Ling Ji smiled slyly. Her cute appearance instantly melted Feng Luo's temper.
...
The scene shifted and an old man with white hair and white robes stood majestically in front of Feng Luo.
"I don't agree with your relationship," the old man said.
"Why, Master?" Feng Luo did not understand.
"I am doing it for your own good," the old man said in a serious tone.
"If you are doing it for my good, then please fulfill our wishes, Master." Feng Luo knelt down in front of his master and pleaded.
"What if... I'm doing it for the sake of that girl?" the old man asked again.
Feng Luo stiffened and looked at his master in bewilderment.
"There are two unique skills of our Luoshan Sect. You are excellent at exorcism, but you are not very proficient in Divination." The old man's face was full of worry. "However, I conducted a divination for you..."
Thinking of his Master's divination test, Feng Luo's face instantly turned pale...
And the face of the sleeping Lisa also turned terribly ugly...
The author has something to say:
Young Wu, who was recovering from his injuries, found out the cruel fact that he could not beat his master, so he decided to leave home.
Young Wu: Master, when one day you want to hang yourself, remember to tell me, so that I'll come back and set off firecrackers for you.
Master: You bastard, I raised you for so long, yet you'll only light off firecrackers! Why aren't you going to buy fireworks?
So a long time later, in order for Young Wu to let his Master watch fireworks, he arranged a firework display at the Ghost Gate for a full hour.
