Master Lin stroked his beard and smiled smugly inside the golden circle. "Girl, I obtained this from a Buddhist monk. It's called the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle, which is used to ward off evil spirits and heretics. If you can get in, you'll pass the first test and be qualified to compete with me. Otherwise, you'd better wait for me to investigate you."
His tone was polite, but his words were anything but.
This treats Mingluo as a heretic or evil person.
He was genuinely angry today, so the magical artifact he took out was a top-grade (first rank) artifact.
This is an excellent protective artifact that can keep evil spirits and heretics out, ensuring the safety of those inside. Anyone from the Xuanmen sect who wants to enter must have some special skills.
He roughly calculated that no more than twenty people in the entire Xuanmen sect could enter his magical artifact.
Although Minglu is skilled at exorcising evil spirits, she may not be skilled at breaking magical artifacts. He doesn't believe he can't deal with this brat today.
"..."
Minglu raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
This golden ring is imbued with Buddhist power; it appears to be a ritual artifact created by a Buddhist practitioner who spent a lifetime cultivating it.
It is truly remarkable to have achieved this in a world where spiritual energy is scarce.
But, it's nothing special.
She took a step forward and kicked away the force blocking her, and she even heard the sound of the spiritual energy barrier shattering... It was exceptionally beautiful.
The light on the golden ring dimmed instantly, and the Buddhist mantras that had been shimmering with golden light disappeared completely, gradually shrinking into an ordinary golden ring, just like the one Master Lin had just taken out.
The gold ring lay alone, cold and lifeless on the ground.
Master Lin stared at the golden ring, his eyes filled with disbelief. He looked up at Mingluo incredulously. "My Vajra Subduing Demon Ring..."
"Here you go!" Minglu bent down, picked up the Vajra Subduing Demon Circle, and handed it to Master Lin with a smile.
Her fingers were slender and white, and she wore a gold bracelet, making her look inexplicably beautiful.
Master Lin held the gold ring tremblingly in his hand, his heart bleeding. This was something he had worked so hard to obtain, and this girl had ruined it just like that?
Excellent, excellent!!
If he doesn't teach this rebellious brat a lesson today, he'll change his mind.
Mingluo said calmly, "Master Lin, how are you? If you're not feeling well, then let's reschedule for another day?"
"I'm perfectly fine, I'm not going to die!" Master Lin was furious.
He glared at Mingluo angrily, then said as if suddenly realizing something, "Did you deliberately break my things so that I wouldn't compete with you, so you could tell people you defeated me and make a name for yourself? Let me tell you, no way! I have plenty of magical artifacts. I don't even care about a Vajra Subduing Demon Circle. You've passed this test. Let's officially begin."
As he spoke, he took out a crystal bone. The bone was crystal clear. Master Lin held it in his hand, chanted a few incantations, and formed a few hand seals. It then shone brightly and rushed towards Mingluo.
Soon, Mingluo was bathed in light, and gusts of cold wind rose from the ground, as if they were sentient, and began to penetrate Mingluo's body.
He sneered, "Girl, to prevent you from accusing me of bullying a junior, I'll tell you what this is. This is a magic weapon I often use, called the Jade Bone. It's a supreme treasure of the Taoist sect."
“Buddhism has relics, and this jade bone is the finger bone of a Taoist master. It can subdue evil spirits. If you have evil energy in your body, it can automatically drive it out. I advise you to stay put and wait for it to expel the evil, so that you don’t act recklessly and hurt yourself.”
After Master Lin finished speaking, he smiled smugly.
What he didn't say was that he obtained this item from several tomb raiders who were already half-dead from the torture inflicted by the jade bone.
He expelled the evil aura from the tomb raiders and then took the jade bone for his own use.
This jade bone has abundant spiritual energy, and I've always found it very useful. Using it to subdue Mingluo today is a bit of a waste of its potential.
However, he thought that Minglu must have some secrets. If he could use the jade bone to force out Minglu's secrets, it would be a good thing. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy will lead to victory in every battle.
Mingluo was enveloped by a burst of light and a cold wind, and those around her could no longer see her. They only felt that this seemingly unremarkable old man was mysterious and profound, truly a master.
Zou Jinnian watched nervously, a hint of regret creeping into his heart, wondering if Mingluo would be hurt by Master Lin.
However, when his gaze fell on his two broken legs, he suppressed his worry.
His eyes grew cold. If Mingluo was really in trouble, he would take care of her. A woman who wouldn't run away was better.
Mingluo quietly watched the jade bone spinning in the yin wind. The jade bone was full of spiritual power, and the cultivator's skill was indeed profound.
She could feel the spiritual energy emanating from the jade bone surging within her body. If there was any impurity in her body, this spiritual energy would expel and eliminate it.
That process can be understood as a sheepdog chasing a flock of sheep.
This is indeed a good thing.
Minglu opened her arms wide, letting the spiritual energy surge through her body. She wanted to see where the limits of this jade bone were.
The spiritual energy of the jade bone swept through her body as if it were nothing, until it reached Mingluo's collarbone, where the peach blossom mark seemed to be activated and began to frantically sweep away the spiritual energy on the jade bone.
Master Lin's expression changed slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. He felt that something was not right.
His jade-like bones seemed to have encountered an opponent. Could it be that Mingluo also possesses a powerful magical artifact?
He snorted coldly, hurriedly chanted a spell, and urged the jade bone to release its spiritual power, determined to make Mingluo's magic weapon suffer a great loss.
Minglu chuckled softly and placed her palm against the intensely beautiful, almost eerie peach blossom mark...
As if divinely aided, the peach blossom seal began to spin rapidly, absorbing the spiritual power of the jade bone like a violent tornado.
The jade bone shone brightly. At first, it could resist, but when it realized something was wrong and tried to escape, it seemed to be sucked in and could not escape no matter what.
Minglu whispered, "Hurry!"
Like a giant sea swallowing a whale, the peach blossom seal absorbed all of the jade bone's spiritual power in the blink of an eye, returning it to its place.
The eerie wind has dissipated...
The light suddenly stopped...
Mingluo's appearance gradually became visible. Her long, black hair fell down, and her beautiful starry eyes were dark and bright. Her whole being was both pure and alluring, dignified and enchanting. All these contradictory feelings formed an amazing beauty in her.
Jade Bone suddenly lost its supporting spiritual power and plummeted from the sky.
Mingluo reached out and caught it, looking at the jade bone that had turned black, and gave a kind smile.
She handed the items to Master Lin, smiling as she said, "Here, these are yours."
