Chapter 175 Peacock's Words
Half a stick of incense later, there were mountains all around.
Su Qingwu flew here and released his spiritual consciousness to cover the surroundings.
After a long time, his brows gradually wrinkled.
According to Lin Yan, Bailuo Villa is located in this area.
However, within the range of his spiritual consciousness, he could not sense the existence of the villa at all.
After continuing to observe for a while, Su Qingwu turned to contact Su Wen.
The response came quickly from the inside.
"There is a special illusion surrounding Bailuo Villa, which can be easily identified by ghost cultivators, but difficult for living people to detect."
At this point, Su Wen realized something and immediately continued to ask:
"Qingwu, why do you ask this? Are you planning to go to the White Mountain Manor?"
"Yes, Gu Wan has lost contact now. I have a deal with her, but I haven't received the reward yet."
"Well, wait a moment, I'll come over and join you."
"Okay, be careful along the way."
......
After the transmission of thoughts ended, Su Qingwu found an open space to land and began to wait for Su Wen to arrive.
Not long after, the voice of the peacock was heard from across the sea.
"Human, you actually contracted a ghost cultivator?"
"So what?"
"You know, you humans have always viewed ghost cultivation as evil. If those hypocritical people knew about this, you would probably be directly labeled as a demon."
"As long as you have a bottom line in your actions, why should you care about what others think?"
"Oh, you are a very open-minded person."
"The purpose of practicing Taoism is to live a long and carefree life. As long as they don't stand in my way, I don't care what they say."
"What if it blocks the way?"
"Then kill them all. There is no clear boundary between good and evil in this world. In the end, it's all about profit."
"That's not entirely true. You know, some guys value their reputation more than their profits."
"But it's still a minority, right?"
"That's right. You have to hope that you don't run into those people in the future, otherwise you may get into endless trouble."
At this point, Su Qingwu suddenly reacted.
"Can you hear the conversation between me and Su Wen?"
"Of course not. However, when you communicated with the ghost cultivator, a unique wave of soul contract was transmitted. Although it was very slight, it could not be hidden from me."
“That’s right.”
"Of course, what else can I do? Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"You have a very special power... Can you tell me where it comes from?"
Hearing this, Su Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the peacock was most likely talking about the feather given by the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao in Yuehua Realm.
She pulled the corner of her mouth and said firmly: "No!"
Soon, Kong Jiu's voice was heard again in the sea of knowledge.
"...We are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Can't we reveal it? I won't harm you. You have already accepted the Seven Treasures Binding Divine Silk as your master. If you die, I will die too."
"Isn't that right?"
"What's wrong?"
"You have not signed a spirit beast contract with me, you are just sealed in the spirit treasure. If I die, the spirit treasure will naturally become ownerless. Then you can regain your freedom, right?"
"Of course not, what logic do you have, human?"
Kong Jiu seemed to be angry and his voice became much louder.
"Have you never refined a magic treasure that seals beast souls before?"
"...indeed not."
"I think you should learn some knowledge about spiritual treasures in the world of immortal cultivation! The beast soul sealed in the spiritual treasure can only recognize one person as its master for its entire life, and the soul will disappear when the master dies!
If it's really as you said, in the past when I met those guys who wanted to obtain the Seven Treasures Binding Divine Silk, I could just pretend to be their master and then take the opportunity to trick them to death!
Why didn't I do that? Because once you accept the master, you are tied to a boat from now on, and your life and death are not your own!
If the owner of the treasure dies one day, I will follow him! Otherwise, why did I remind you about the ghost cultivation just now? I just want you to be careful and try not to be discovered by people with bad intentions in the future!"
After hearing this, Su Qingwu suddenly fell silent.
The peacock's tone had been less than pleasant since it started communicating with her, and she had not thought at first that the other party was reminding her.
However...
She didn't intend to tell anyone about Hongyu.
Thinking that Kong Jiu's strength had reached the peak of level five, she turned to consider another problem.
"A monster at level 4 can transform, so you should be able to do it too?"
"Of course, but I don't like to transform into a human form. According to your human life span, I am only about thirteen years old..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared in front of Su Qingwu, and the shadow of a girl in strange clothes suddenly appeared in his sight.
Ignoring the horrible attire and just looking at the facial features, they are indeed no different from humans.
As I was thinking this, I saw the girl in front of me speaking in a rough voice:
"This is what I look like after transforming. Anyway, I don't like it very much and rarely become like this."
Su Qingwu was a little curious.
"When a monster transforms, is its appearance fixed? Can't it choose?"
"Of course I can't choose! If I could choose, wouldn't all the demons above level 4 be stunning beauties? How could there be any ugly ones?
Of course, I don’t look bad after my transformation. I’m considered above average among humans. I’m just not used to it. With these tiny arms and legs, how can they be as majestic as my original form?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's shadow disappeared in a flash.
Su Qing was unfamiliar with the country and heard Kong Jiu's voice again.
"You haven't answered my previous question yet. What exactly is that special power?"
"It's confidential for now."
"You, you, you... oh, I'm so mad! Can't you just satisfy my curiosity?"
"No, you will know when the time comes."
"Why does this sound a little off? It sounds just like the tone of those old men in the family... Then again, how old are you now? Why can't I tell your age?"
"I'm already twenty-one."
"What?!" Kong Jiu's voice suddenly became much higher.
"Did I hear you right? You're only twenty-one now?"
"Why? It doesn't look like that?"
"No, no, no, judging from her appearance, there is no doubt. She may even be younger, only about sixteen or seventeen years old. You humans have many appearance-related traits, so it is impossible to judge age from appearance.
I am just surprised... Aren't normal cultivators several hundred years old when they reach the Yuanying stage? Normally, at your age, your cultivation level should only be at the Qi Refining stage..."
"There are always exceptions. I got a lot of opportunities in the past, so my cultivation level improved quickly."
"Your cultivation level has improved not only faster, but it is simply shocking. Fortunately, you have a way to hide your age. Otherwise, if those old guys saw you, they would find a trumped-up crime and arrest you to study you thoroughly!"
Speaking of this, Kong Jiu felt somewhat fortunate.
At the age of twenty-one, he had cultivated to the level of an infant. As for the speed of cultivation, no one from ancient times to the present could surpass him.
Even those disciples from first-rank major sects are far inferior to him.
Maybe she really followed the right person.
If one day this person succeeds in his cultivation, she can also benefit from it and try to reshape her body...
