Chapter 297: Refining the Trapped Spirit
Perhaps because they were thinking of Grandma Huang and the others, Xijing and the others were in a bad mood the whole morning.
Cheng Wuchou thought about it for a moment and knew what was going on. He whispered to Tao Zi, "I sent someone over there and built a cenotaph for him at the Cheng family cemetery."
She knew that the so-called cenotaph was probably just a handful of soil on the southern cliff, but this attitude still made people feel at ease.
He continued, "If you need anything, you can tell me. After all, you are registered with Yisanmen."
Tao Zi curved his eyebrows, bowed, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Master Cheng. I do have a favor to ask."
"But it's okay."
She said, "The young and old who are nominally under the Yisan Sect don't know where to struggle."
He nodded directly and said, "Will you bring them here?"
"No need, Yisanmen is not peaceful right now."
"Then I'll have someone take care of it."
Tao Zi thanked him again, and her expression relaxed a little.
The Cheng family has members in many sects, so when it comes to finding mortals, they are definitely better than Liu Yue and the others.
In the evening, Xi Jing counted all the spirit stones and came to her dejectedly.
Tao Zi touched her head and said with a smile: "Xi Jing, what's wrong?"
"Senior Sister, I miss Nan Ya a little bit."
She soothed him, "Once things settle down, we'll take them over, okay?"
Xi Jing's eyes lit up and she asked, "Senior Sister, do you know where they are?"
Tao Zi shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, but I've asked someone to look for it."
She nodded vigorously, and her spirits improved visibly.
Yue Shan and the others who were eavesdropping on the side also became happy and continued to work on their tasks.
Yue Qingya hesitated to speak, Tao Zi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to check that matter tomorrow."
She smiled and said, "I might go too. Leave a photo ball so we can keep in touch."
All the cultivators looked over, and Lu Shaobai said, "Senior Sister, are you going too?"
Tao Zi put away her smile and said expressionlessly, "Do I have to stay here and continue to be irritated by you?"
He closed his mouth silently, and she softened her tone: "I have already corrected many of your problems. The rest of your training will depend on your own efforts. I hope that when I return, you will be in better condition."
All the cultivators responded in unison.
Han Yueshan looked at her in shock and said, "Senior Sister, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"I just made the decision, but I won't rush." Tao Zi said with a gentle smile, "I originally wanted to familiarize myself with the surrounding area before looking elsewhere, but after what happened last time, I don't think anyone will come looking for me again."
Li Xiu walked past her holding a basket of herbs: "Let me make it clear first, I won't go this time. I can't leave these herbs nearby."
She nodded and said, "Brother Xiu..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Xiu turned around and looked at her, full of vigilance, "What's the matter with you?"
Tao Zi was a little amused and said, "I just wanted to ask how the research on the medicine is going."
He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's with my master. I have to wait for him to come."
Xi Jing was quite surprised and said, "Brother Li, don't you like that medicine very much?"
Li Xiu replied depressedly: "It's too high-level. I don't know where to start. I have to wait for my master to figure it out."
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "That's perfect. After Qianzhen comes, I can leave without any worries."
He asked in surprise: "Senior, are you going to look for your sister?"
"No news at the moment, but there are other things to do."
Yue Qingya stood aside and waited until Tao Zi had almost finished arranging everything before saying, "You're making arrangements so quickly, are you sure you won't leave with me tomorrow?"
She shook her head and said, "No, I have my own ideas. I'm not sure if I can leave tomorrow."
Yue Qingya said half-jokingly, "Okay, is there anything I should pay attention to? As long as it doesn't affect the capture of the murderer, I can smuggle some contraband."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Just don't say you are a casual cultivator."
He also smiled and replied: "Then I understand."
That night, Tao Zi set up a soundproofing spell and a spirit-blocking array, took out the doll, and said, "Senior, can you help me?"
The senior popped up: "What are you going to do?"
"Use your spiritual consciousness to nourish the trapped spirit."
I couldn't make a decision before because I was worried that my sea of consciousness wouldn't be able to handle the trapped spirit and cause a backlash, but now I don't have that concern anymore.
The senior nodded and said, "I can tell you the steps, but you will take certain risks."
"I understand. Senior, is there anything I need to prepare in advance?"
"No need. This trapped spirit is already at the end of its strength, and your spiritual sense is strong. You can refine it without assistance, but if you are worried, you can prepare more."
She said without hesitation: "Then let's do it directly."
The senior asked again, "Do you want to completely erase its personal consciousness and use it for your own purposes, or do you want to retain its consciousness and allow it to coexist with you?"
Tao Zi frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Is the latter in danger?"
"It can't hurt you, but it might disobey you or even betray you."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "The latter."
She followed the advice of her predecessors and refined the trapped spirit step by step, tricking it into recognizing her as its master.
The doll gradually broke into pieces, and a curled up, almost transparent soul slowly approached her under the control of divine consciousness, until finally merging into one.
This process is very thrilling. The despair and anger that the trapped spirit has experienced are affecting her consciousness. At the same time, she will also know all of the trapped spirit's past.
When she opened her eyes, about three days had passed. The senior had been standing by her side watching her.
She wanted to speak, but her consciousness still felt a little tingling, so she closed her eyes and rested for a while before she stood up and said, "Thank you, senior."
"No problem."
Tao Zi removed the formation, opened the door and walked out.
It was midnight outside, and the moonlight was surprisingly bright. Cheng Wuchou was drinking tea. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "Xi Jing and the others thought you had left."
She said, "It's almost time to leave."
"Excuse me, what were you doing in there before?"
Tao Zi did not hide it and said calmly: "Refine the trapped spirit."
Cheng Wuchou looked at her in surprise, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have a lot of tools that can be used."
"No need, I will refine it directly."
His expression was filled with shock. "Directly? Apart from a few daring ghost cultivators, no one would dare to do that."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "The trapped spirit is very weak, so I will be bold and reckless just this once."
Cheng Wuchou actually bowed to her and said, "I admire your courage."
Tao Zi burst out laughing.
He took out a box and said, "Here is the photo ball that Daoist Yue left behind. Please be careful."
She took it and thanked him.
Cheng Wuchou looked at her receding figure and continued drinking tea.
