The moment Shen Qingmang received the message from Shi Mingli, she felt that her senior brother was somewhat mentally ill.
In order to verify the effectiveness of the spirit-summoning talisman, he actually used his own body for experiments.
She and Gu Suihan entered the room and felt relieved to see Shi Mingli standing alone in the hall without any support.
It seems that I haven't exhausted myself yet.
"Brother, how do you feel now?" Shen Qingmang asked.
"I can walk, sit, or lie down without any problems, but I can't use my spiritual power. Once I activate it, I feel a strong sense of hunger and emptiness, and I can't use any magic. Sending you a message is something I can only do by pushing my spiritual power to the limit."
"Is the spiritual energy in the body sealed, or has it been drained away?"
Shi Mingli closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then said, "The spiritual power seems to still be there, but it cannot be transformed into spiritual energy."
"That means it's sealed. You really should have stopped immediately if you felt something was wrong. Why did you use twelve spells in a row?" Shen Qingmang said helplessly, "What if it can't be restored?"
"We must verify whether this talisman is truly harmful. Right now, I'm the only one injured. If we don't verify it in time, I'm afraid more people will be harmed in the future. Junior Sister, I can't leave Wuya Peak right now. Please tell Master to immediately confiscate all the spirit-attracting talismans in the Taichu Sect and prohibit their use."
"I just got back from Master. When I received the message, I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I didn't have time to explain the situation to him. There's not much time left, so let's figure it out first. Sui Han, do you have a way to help Brother recover his spiritual power?"
Gu Suihan thought for a moment and said, "Disciple can only try his best."
Shi Mingli's eyes showed doubt, and Shen Qingmang explained: "My eldest disciple is like you. He loves reading. He likes to study some strange and bizarre magic. Maybe he can come up with some unexpected tricks."
In fact, she hoped that Gu Sui Han had experienced something in his previous life and had mastered some experience in dealing with restricted spiritual power. After all, the reason why the elders of the Taichu Sect in his previous life could not use their magic was probably because of this spirit-summoning talisman. If they had not recovered later, it would have been difficult for the Taichu Sect to wipe out the Fangyuan Sect.
However, after Gu Sui Han pressed a few acupoints and performed several spells, Shi Mingli still showed no improvement. He shook his head, indicating that he was powerless.
Shen Qingmang pulled him aside and whispered, "You don't have to hide your shortcomings. Even if you reveal something, I can help you make it up and won't let the eldest brother suspect you."
"My disciple isn't hiding his incompetence; I simply lack the strength." Gu Suihan said, "Those elders in our sect who lost their spiritual power before all recovered slowly on their own after years of rest. We've consulted numerous texts and tried numerous methods, but nothing has accelerated the process. The methods I just tried were the same ones we used back then, and they still haven't worked."
Shen Qingmang sighed and had no choice but to step forward to comfort Shi Mingli: "Brother, maybe you will be fine after resting for a while."
"It's nothing." Shi Mingli's expression was calm, as if he wasn't at all concerned about the loss of his spiritual power. "I just used twelve talismans in a split second. I didn't feel any discomfort with the first eleven, but the twelfth one suddenly changed. I think it takes time for the talismans to accumulate their effects."
"A little bit adds up. It's probably eroding the cultivator's spiritual power bit by bit, right?" Shen Qingmang said, "The cultivators who used the Soul-Attracting Talisman before don't seem to have experienced this. Perhaps they haven't used all twelve yet?"
Gu Suihan said, "Perhaps it's because Master Uncle used it so quickly that the effect appeared so quickly. If others don't use the Soul Summoning Talismans often, even twelve might not be enough to produce the full effect. Perhaps more would be needed."
Shen Qingmang nodded, thinking that the crisis of family extermination in his previous life would not break out until twenty years later, and the spirit-summoning talisman was planted very early, so the toxicity of this hidden poison would probably penetrate very slowly.
"I will verify these speculations in the future," said Shi Mingli.
"That's not necessary, Brother!" Shen Qingmang quickly advised, "Since it's already been proven that the Soul Summoning Talisman is harmful, just stop using it. Why bother to thoroughly study how it works?"
"This talisman was developed by Wuwei Peak..." Shi Mingli pondered. "Are they unaware of the hidden dangers of this talisman, or are they doing it on purpose?"
Shen Qingmang and Gu Suihan looked at each other.
Should they reveal Anyan Township's evil intentions? But Shi Mingli was a man who insisted on evidence. If they didn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't believe it. But they couldn't explain it clearly. The fewer people who knew about the past life, the better.
Shen Qingmang said, "Let's collect the Soul Summoning Talisman first and see how Wuwei Peak reacts."
Gu Suihan tugged at her sleeve. She turned around in confusion and saw him mouthing three words: Anyan Township.
Ah, I almost forgot, the master of Wuwei Peak is still locked in the ice cave by her!
Shen Qingmang suddenly felt a headache.
It seems that we have to let this madman out. There is such a big problem with the talisman, he must come out and explain.
"Junior sister, go report to Master. I'm fine."
"good."
Shen Qingmang returned to Wendao Peak and told Yun Xuzhou about this. He stroked his beard, looking a little embarrassed. "This... Yanxiang probably didn't anticipate any hidden dangers, right? Perhaps your senior brother overused it in a short period of time, and that's why he used so much?"
"Because my second disciple Si Rong's beloved rabbit died from biting the Soul Summoning Talisman, we suspect there's something wrong with the Talisman. However, animals are different from humans, so we can't generalize. So, Senior Brother... wanted to find out what the consequences would be if a human came into contact with the Talisman too many times."
"And then he tried it on his own body?" Yun Xuzhou's voice rose an octave.
"Yes." Shen Qingmang lowered his head and prepared to take the blame for his senior brother.
Yun Xuzhou was indeed furious. "What a fool! Who would dare to test the law? Fortunately, he's only unable to use his spiritual power right now, so maybe he'll be fine after a while. But what if he gets the urge to investigate other dangerous techniques and risk his life?"
"Qing Mang also felt that what Senior Brother did was too risky. Unfortunately, when we learned about the situation, Senior Brother had already tried it, and we didn't have time to stop him. I will remind him to take care of his body in the future."
Yunxuzhou's expression slowly returned to composure. "I will immediately inform all the peaks to cease the use of spirit-summoning talismans throughout the Taichu Sect. Thank you for your hard work, Qingmang. You haven't been home long and you're already dealing with all these miscellaneous matters."
"It's not hard. This is a disciple's job." Shen Qingmang shook his head quickly.
"The talisman was made by Wuwei Peak, or it was the idea of that kid from Anyan Township. What on earth is he planning to do... Qingmang, stay home and don't go out."
Yun Xuzhou's words were a bit confusing, but Shen Qingmang understood them at once.
