Chapter 58 Teahouse Discussion
Su Wen hesitated and said, "It is indeed possible, but... it has only been more than half a year since his death. Under normal circumstances, even if he could become a ghost cultivator, his strength would be low and it would be impossible for him to seize or possess a cultivator who has reached the Qi Yuanman stage."
Hearing her say this, Su Qingwu recalled the incident with Wang Gu in the past.
"Seizing a body... what are the specific conditions? I once saw a fellow disciple being seized in the sect. Later, the man was discovered by the steward and arrested on the spot."
"As long as you believe that your soul is stronger than the other person's, you can try. This action is against the harmony of nature. The person whose soul is seized will be destroyed on the spot. Even if the seizer succeeds, his soul will be trapped in the occupied body forever. If he dies in the future, his soul will also be destroyed."
"What about possession?"
"The conditions are the same as for possession, but the difficulty is relatively lower and the success rate is higher. After all, possession only controls a person for a period of time, not completely killing them."
Su Qingwu frowned and thought for a moment, then continued to ask:
"Although Wang Gu was captured that day, he looked like an ordinary person. If it weren't for the mole incident, he would have been hiding forever. What exactly is the situation with him following me today?"
Su Wen said frankly:
"If you just look at his appearance, he is indeed no different from an ordinary person. Because I am a ghost cultivator, I am more sensitive to such things, so I was able to detect it. From my perception, there is a faint black aura surrounding this person."
Having said this, she paused for a moment and then added another sentence.
"If the matter is really as you guessed, Qingwu, then that person must have gained a great opportunity after his death. Otherwise, as a new ghost, it is impossible for him to possess or seize the body of a Qi-refining monk!"
"Su Wen, I can't stay in Yuxiang Tea House forever. No matter who the opponent is or what opportunity I have, this battle is inevitable."
"I will do my best to help you then."
"It takes about two cups of tea to get from Qingmu Market to the sect. If I were him, I would choose to take action half a cup of tea after leaving the market. This way I would be relatively far away from the sect, but not too close to the market, which would reduce the possibility of rescue."
After saying this, Su Qingwu picked up the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip.
The unique fragrance of tea wafts into your nose, refreshing your heart.
If there were no crisis ahead, drinking tea here would be a pleasant experience.
Inside the teahouse, many discussions could be heard from time to time.
"Fellow Daoists, have you heard about Luo Yunqian's incident?"
"I've heard that this place is forbidden to visit!"
"Hey? What happened? I've been practicing recently and haven't paid much attention to it."
"Fellow Daoist Li, people have been dying in Luo Yunjian these days. I heard that the circumstances of their deaths were extremely bizarre. The Qianzhi Sect is sending people to investigate!"
"Can you tell me more about it? What's the weird way?"
"Their necks were bitten off, their flesh and skin disappeared, leaving only blackened bones."
"What? Could this be the work of an evil spirit?"
"Who knows? Anyway, don't go near Luo Yunqian again. Your life is at stake!"
"But Luoyunjian is only a hundred miles away from Qingmufang City. Doesn't that mean... this place is not safe either?"
"Well, the elders of Qianzhi Sect are stationed here to guard it, so it's very safe. Fellow Daoist Li is worrying too much."
......
Listening to these discussions, Su Qingwu finished his spiritual tea, walked out of Yuxianglou, went to another industry, spent twenty spiritual stones, and bought a map.
According to the markings on the map, Luo Yunqian's specific location was quickly found, which was located in the southwest of Qianzhi Sect.
"Su Wen, are the people following me related to Luo Yunqian's case?"
"Maybe. Some ghost cultivators do suck the flesh and blood of living people to achieve the goal of rapidly increasing their strength."
Talking about this, Su Wen felt a little disgusted.
Although she is also a ghost cultivator, she hates this behavior deeply.
However, the more ghost cultivators who behave in this way, the more they fear things that can ward off evil.
Thinking of this, she immediately asked:
"Qingwu, should the Snow Spirit Peach cores you collected earlier be enough to string together?"
"Well, but I've been busy with space transformation and the reclamation of spiritual fields recently, so I haven't started to do it yet."
"Well, don't leave the market for now. Find a jewelry business, make the bracelet quickly, put it on, and then if possible, buy some evil-repelling items to carry with you."
Hearing this, Su Qingwu immediately agreed and looked for related industries.
Although Aokibo City is large, there are only a few industries of this kind.
About half a cup of tea later, she arrived at the attic of a restaurant called Bao Shi Xuan.
Due to its remote location, there are very few monks coming and going here, and it looks very deserted.
When I walked into the pavilion, I saw a nun with double spiral buns and a light gray double-breasted long dress sitting in front of a mahogany table, fiddling with her jewelry with her head down.
Noticing someone coming, she paused what she was doing, looked up, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Welcome to Jewelry Pavilion. What kind of jewelry would you like to buy?"
Considering that the enemy had been secretly following them, Su Qingwu did not explain in detail, but simply said:
"I want to make a bracelet, and I have prepared some materials."
“That’s right.”
After hearing this, the female cultivator wanted to ask Su Qingwu to take out the materials directly so that she could judge whether it could be made. However, at this moment, a voice rang in her ears.
She looked at the girl in front of her calmly, and changed the words she was about to say.
"Fellow Daoist Lao, please follow me to the private room for detailed discussion."
After she finished speaking, the female cultivator extended her hand as a gesture of invitation, and Su Qingwu nodded and said yes. The two of them walked one after the other and came to a secret room in the pavilion that was equipped with anti-peeping restrictions.
"My name is Liangyue, may I know what your name is?"
"My name is Su Qingwu."
"This place is now safe. Daoist Laosu will take out the relevant materials."
Not long after, Liangyue looked at the ten snow spirit peach cores floating in the air, and recalled the previous voice transmission, and had a guess in her heart.
"Would you like to use silk made from yangji wood soaked in cinnabar as the connecting rope, Fellow Daoist Su?"
“I wonder how much it’s going to cost?”
"Yangji wood is rare. The silk made from this wood is worth twenty low-grade spirit stones per inch."
"Okay, then choose this one."
Su Qingwu had seen records about Yangji Wood in the encyclopedia of spiritual plants. Its properties were extremely strong and yang, and it was considered one of the nemesis of evil spirits.
Those soaked in cinnabar are more powerful.
Liangyue worked very quickly and finished the bracelet in less than half a cup of tea.
The thread made of Yangji wood was five inches long and cost a total of one hundred spirit stones.
After Su Qingwu received the bracelet, she observed it for a moment, confirmed that there was no problem, and then put it on her left wrist.
At this time, Liang Yue continued, "There are still some items in the pavilion that can ward off evil spirits. If Daoist Fellow Su needs them, I can take them out."
"Okay, thank you, Daoist Lao Liang."
"Friend Su, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."
......
A moment later, Liangyue returned with a storage bag.
With a wave of his right hand, more than a dozen ornaments of various shapes suddenly appeared in front of Su Qingwu.
