Chapter 62 Sixty-Two Cuts "You bit me, didn't you?"...
Luo Mingshu guessed that when she was organizing magical artifacts in the Misty Star Sea, she must have accidentally flipped the jade bracelet outside, which is why the thing sensed the situation outside.
But what does this thing say? Xie Changming came to see her last night, and... and did this kind of thing?
She was skeptical of what the system said, and now she was preparing to return it to Lu Yaoyao.
"Stop arguing," Luo Mingshu said to the system.
She pushed the jade bracelet back in front of Lu Yaoyao: "Here you go."
"You—you're really that kind?" The system was still bound to Luo Mingshu, and only Luo Mingshu could hear his voice.
"Of course I'm not being kind." Luo Mingshu didn't care what the system said.
In the Misty Star Sea, she had already studied this system. She searched through all the exchange areas within the system but found nothing of value. However, Lu Yaoyao had been able to suddenly break through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage and even find Wei Qing's location, which showed that the system was far from being as useless as it appeared.
What hindered the system's performance was, of course, the Misty Star Sea. Luo Mingshu guessed that the system must need to communicate with a certain party using divine thought, as it was simply not powerful enough on its own.
Later, when the system came into her hands, she dared not use her divine sense to communicate with the other party, because that would attract her attention. She guessed that the system's original purpose was to pretend to be a useless bracelet, and after she threw it into the warehouse, she would secretly have Lu Yaoyao steal it back.
Unexpectedly, in the Misty Star Sea, Xie Changming almost revealed her identity. In order to prevent Xie Changming from revealing the truth, the system rushed out to interrupt them and divert their attention. It wasn't until later, when Xie Changming disguised himself as the Supreme Immortal Lord and her dragon horns grew out, that her identity could no longer be concealed, and the system exposed its true colors.
Luo Mingshu has now blocked the system's communication with the other party. The reason she returned the system to Lu Yaoyao is that she might be able to uncover the forces behind it by taking advantage of the system's trust in Lu Yaoyao.
The current system, simply put, is like a mobile phone that cannot connect to the internet. It can only experience the content stored on the phone, but cannot connect to the internet to update or contact others.
Unable to communicate with its superiors, the system will inevitably make some attempts, such as having Lu Yaoyao find a way to break the divine sense shield spell cast by Xie Changming. In such actions, many clues can be found.
Sure enough, after Lu Yaoyao put the jade bracelet back on, she checked the bracelet's exchange interface and was shocked: "Senior Sister Luo, how come you exchanged everything that could be exchanged in the system, not even a single spirit stone?"
"Once it's in my hands, it becomes my system. I can do the tasks it issues, and once I've finished them, I can redeem them. Why not take advantage of free stuff?" Luo Mingshu said this with a straight face.
At this moment, the system, which had finally returned to Lu Yaoyao's side, also regained its vitality. It excitedly said to Lu Yaoyao, "Host, my database is currently blocked and cannot be updated with higher-level items in real time. You need to find a way to remove the blocking spell on me so that I can update the data and provide you with more exchange services."
Lu Yaoyao glanced at Luo Mingshu. Her acting skills were naturally much better than Luo Mingshu's. She said softly to the system, "Okay."
"I don't know what Luo Mingshu's intention is in returning me to you, but she must have some ulterior motive. She's not a good person," the system said indignantly. "You must be careful; she might have done something to me."
As expected of the only actress in the Misty Star Sea, Lu Yaoyao burst into tears as she listened: "System, she didn't switch you to me for no reason. It's because your divine sense has been blocked and the contents of the internal database have been completely exchanged. Now you have no value to me, so I transferred the rewards I obtained in the Misty Star Sea to her as a trade to get you back."
"I really want you to come back..." Lu Yaoyao said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to break the shielding spell."
Luo Mingshu didn't know what Lu Yaoyao and the system were talking about, but seeing Lu Yaoyao's half-crying expression, she guessed that Lu Yaoyao had already gotten into character.
Although Luo Mingshu had little contact with Lu Yaoyao, she knew that Lu Yaoyao was usually lying when she cried; her tears came so easily, just like the real ones.
Now she wasn't afraid of Lu Yaoyao breaking her promise. She pretended to agree to her first, but actually still wanted to deal with her. The shielding spell Xie Changming had cast was very solid. If Lu Yaoyao wanted to break it, she would definitely take some action. And this "action" was the clue that Luo Mingshu wanted to capture.
Luo Mingshu glanced at Lu Yaoyao and then waved her away, wanting to give her time alone with the system so that the system would lower its guard.
Returning to the Imperial Spirit Sect from the Star Shore would take several more days, given the speed of the Purple Gold Cloud Boat. Luo Mingshu rested well on the boat.
Not long after Lu Yaoyao left, Luo Mingshu sensed a new message coming from her spiritual network.
She opened the Spirit Network interface, and sure enough, Xie Changming had come to see her again. He was calling three times a day. Didn't he have to go to work?
[Anonymous cultivator (192cm tall): You left Star Shore and returned to your sect?]
[Anonymous cultivator (192cm tall): Your junior brother is suspicious, but you don't need to worry about him revealing your identity.]
Because he had secretly erased the memories of Luo Mingshu's identity from Wei Qing's consciousness when he arrived at Luo Mingshu's place last night, he was able to use such an incredible magic to tamper with the memories in other people's consciousness.
[Shushu is so beautiful: Did you come to see me last night?]
[Shushu is so beautiful: She even kissed me?]
Xie Changming would never admit to something he didn't do. Strictly speaking, the physical contact between the two was that Luo Mingshu bit him.
[Anonymous monk (192cm tall): You bit me.]
[Shushu is so beautiful: You really came.]
There was no reply from the other side; they're probably thinking about why they gave themselves away again.
Luo Mingshu's mood improved considerably because of Xie Changming's actions. She was still resentful about Xie Changming's abrupt departure from the Misty Star Sea to play the role of the Supreme Immortal Lord.
Who is the Supreme Immortal Lord? Is he a separate person, or is he related to Xie Changming?
Luo Mingshu didn't know the answer to this question, but she didn't want to ask Xie Changming herself. That would make her seem too concerned about the image of the Supreme Immortal Lord. Although she didn't have her previous memories, he must have left her with some bad memories.
There's no need to dwell on things that will only make you upset and add to your troubles, especially since things are already chaotic enough.
Thinking this, Luo Mingshu switched to her new character, "Beautiful 300-Year-Old Water Spirit Root, Super Easy to Foole," to browse the news on the Four Directions Water Mirror.
Switching back to her original form felt incredibly refreshing. During the time Luo Mingshu was away from the Spirit Network, the Spirit Network environment was very harmonious.
As she stroked Manman's fur, she continued to make her presence felt under various news articles. The long-absent Lingwang's well-known troll reappeared, and the terrified Lingwang cultivators remembered that a long time ago, someone had seemingly silenced her with their words.
As a result, many cultivators summoned Xie Changming after Luo Mingshu's argumentative comments, but they only remembered Xie Changming's previous name on the Spirit Network; the anonymous cultivator was no longer his name.
No one can punish Luo Mingshu anymore. She's having a blast arguing with people on the Spirit Network. Since returning from the Misty Star Sea, she feels her divine sense has greatly improved, only her cultivation level...
By the way, her cultivation level!
Luo Mingshu still remembered Shui Qingnian telling her that the Crimson Copper Lotus was a magic weapon for the Yinglong clan to advance. Although Shui Qingnian's words might not be credible, the Crimson Copper Lotus did react because it came into contact with her blood.
So Luo Mingshu took out the glass bead on her wrist and examined it carefully.
The glass bead has changed! Luo Mingshu narrowed her eyes, looking at the purple light condensed inside the glass bead. When this dark purple light first appeared inside the glass bead, there was only a small wisp, but now the purple light inside has increased.
Why did this happen? Luo Mingshu saw a petal stuck to the glass bead. It was a petal of the Divine Bone Wood. She didn't expect that the petal would still exist after leaving the Misty Star Sea.
She watched as the glass bead absorbed the last petal of the divine bone wood, and then the purple light inside became even more intense. In fact, the shape formed by the purple light inside the glass bead began to take shape.
Although Luo Mingshu didn't want to admit it, the dark purple light inside the glass bead was indeed gradually turning into the shape of a divine bone tree. Damn it, it's that divine bone tree again!
Luo Mingshu suddenly recalled an important detail: when the Supreme Immortal Lord, played by Xie Changming, died in the Misty Star Sea, he also left behind a Divine Bone Tree.
However... Divine Bone Wood is a plant that only grows on the bodies of fallen minor gods. These minor gods cannot even be considered human. They do not have a primordial spirit; they are merely puppet-like beings that act according to predetermined programs.
Why did the Supreme Immortal Lord leave behind divine bone wood after his death?
Luo Mingshu pressed her temples, feeling somewhat troubled, but there was good news: the purple light inside the glass bead had increased.
She didn't believe that the Glass Bead increased its progress by absorbing the Divine Bone Wood. If that were the case, there was still a whole piece of Divine Bone Wood in her Water Stream that the Glass Bead could eat.
The reason why the glass bead is progressing is probably because this divine bone wood flower symbolizes a certain experience of hers. After this experience, she has grown, so the purple energy inside it has increased.
What's so great about this experience? Luo Mingshu was furious; she felt she was already mature enough.
However, although she has not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, her strength has indeed improved somewhat, especially when she fought Wei Qing in the Xuan Tian Mansion. If she had been in the Shuixi Ravine at the beginning, she might not have been able to withstand Wei Qing's attack, let alone turn the tide of battle.
It's always good to improve one's strength. Luo Mingshu hid the glass bead on her wrist in her sleeve. She wasn't as foolish as Lu Yaoyao, who would show everything to others.
What she thought of came to pass. Just as she thought of Lu Yaoyao, she heard the sound of something being knocked over outside her room.
Aside from her, only Lu Yaoyao was on the Purple Gold Cloud Boat. Luo Mingshu was about to go out to see what Lu Yaoyao was up to, but she suddenly remembered something and her hand on the door frame stopped.
