Chapter 376 Let me introduce my sword spirit to you
The golden light core that gradually illuminated inside the cabin indicated that the Five Elements Light Core that Yu Sui had placed into the spirit puppet's body had been upgraded again, advancing from the ninth realm to the tenth realm, and transforming from the Five Elements Light Core into a Divine Soul Light Core.
Yu Sui looked around and saw that the light cores inside all the spirit puppets had transformed into divine soul light cores. The dazzling golden wisp within the crystal-clear light cores was astonishing.
The shock and joy that activating the mountain spirit brought Yu Sui had not yet faded when the world gave her another surprise, making her feel as if she had come to the clouds, almost unreal.
Yu Sui took out the first Divine Soul Core that had advanced to the tenth realm. It was in his palm, still fragile and easily broken, but it contained energy unlike anything he had ever seen before.
Previously, those tens of thousands of Five Elements Light Cores could only maintain the form of the Ghost Path Death Talisman, but what about the Divine Soul Light Cores?
At that moment, Yu Sui felt an immense sense of security from the light core before him.
Yu Sui smiled only after confirming that the light cores that had advanced to the tenth realm had calmed down and showed no signs of further advancement.
We need to buy more spirit puppets from the mechanical experts.
Take the spirit puppets out of Qingyang, ideally spreading them throughout every part of the six kingdoms.
While preparing to discuss a big business deal with the mechanical experts, Yu Sui did not hesitate to shatter his own light core and replace it with a new tenth-realm divine soul light core.
Because the incident happened so suddenly, and Yu Sui was afraid of causing trouble for others, she did not prolong the time she was on the verge of death, but instead accelerated the speed of Tianmu's repair.
The other destroyers only felt a sudden, sharp pain in their chests, and the suffocating agony of impending death descended upon them, turning their faces deathly pale instantly.
Han Ziyang was walking behind Nangong Ming when suddenly his legs gave way, and Cao Yan, who was next to him, quickly reached out to support him.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Ming turned around and looked over.
Han Ziyang lowered his head, restraining himself from clutching his chest in a frenzy. He waved his hand and said in a muffled voice, "I've been cultivating too intensely lately, and there's been a bit of a backlash."
He thanked his God; although the empathy came suddenly, it didn't last long, only three moments, allowing him to recover immediately.
“There’s still time, no need to rush,” Nangong Ming said.
Han Ziyang helped Cao Yan to his feet and then pulled away, saying in a low voice, "I'm in a hurry."
Nangong Ming just smiled and said, "Your health is important. I'll have the doctor examine you later. Just tell me what you need."
"good."
As soon as Nangong Ming stepped into the hall, he heard a woman coughing rapidly inside. He frowned slightly and walked towards the partition behind the screen.
Han Ziyang and Cao Yan remained in the hall and did not follow.
But judging from her cough, Madam Su seemed to be in poor condition.
Nangong Ming entered the cubicle and saw Madam Su standing by the table, her face pale. She covered her mouth with one hand, her body trembling slightly. She turned her head slightly when she noticed someone coming in, but then lowered her head again because of a cough.
Bright red blood seeped from between the woman's fingers.
Madam Su bit her lower lip, trying her best to calm the pain of the backlash, not daring to let Nangong Ming discover that one of her magical beasts was missing.
Because Yu Sui's light core suddenly shattered and he almost died, the Wuxiang Snake, which had been hiding quietly all along, was startled and thought that its host was also going to die. It panicked and tried to escape, but Yu Sui held down the back of its neck. In its great fear, it turned to torment its master and sent a distress signal to its master.
The treacherous snake is inherently cunning and treacherous. When Lady Su is unable to completely suppress it, it will have its own ulterior motives and will not take its master seriously.
Yu Sui watched the anxious and uneasy Wuxiang Snake from the depths of his own soul, and dragged it into the Nine Provinces Star Sea.
She stood atop the burned-down Luoshan Mountain, looking down at the snake's shadow writhing beneath her feet. She bent down, reached out, and pinched the snake's head, pulling it out of the shadows.
The Formless Serpent trembled under the oppressive power of Yu Sui's Five Elements.
Yu Sui exerted force, and the Wuxiang Snake writhed in pain.
Watching the serpent's desperate struggle for survival, Yu Sui's eyes held a silent, mocking smile. He tossed it off the cliff, sparing its life for the time being.
Madam Su couldn't hold it in any longer, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and slumped down at the table.
Nangong Ming stood still, but said to the outsiders, "Call the doctor over."
Upon receiving the order, Cao Yan immediately went to fetch a physician.
“Your health has suddenly deteriorated a lot recently.” Nangong Ming stepped forward and reached out to put his hand on Madam Su’s wrist, but she grabbed his hand instead.
The woman raised her delicate yet pale face. Her usually indifferent black eyes now held a hint of pain and vulnerability. When someone who is usually aloof and indifferent reveals a pitiful expression, it always evokes pity in people.
Madam Su said softly, "My health is indeed getting worse, so... when do you plan to give me that half of the Breath Soil?"
Only with the complete Breath of Earth can she completely suppress the Formless Serpent and not fear backlash.
Su Xing couldn't bear being tormented by the Formless Serpent all the time, but she also couldn't bear to give up the five phantom beasts she had finally obtained. They were the greatest pride in her cultivation life, and she couldn't bear to part with them.
Nangong Ming sensed Madam Su's weak and sickly aura, and for her sake, he transferred the Five Elements Qi to her, but he smiled and said, "Didn't you hear? Sui Sui's strength has increased greatly recently. She is no longer the ordinary girl she used to be."
"Gongsun Xi's son is also very fond of her, and now is the time for him to make meritorious contributions every year. How do you expect me to give you that half of the Breath Soil?"
Lady Su took a slow breath and said in a trembling voice, "You kept her alive to keep the Yan Kingdom in check. Now that Master... Yan Manfeng is dead, and the Yan Kingdom is under your control, is there any need for her to live?"
"It is an honor for the children to sacrifice their lives for the family's goals." Nangong Ming lowered his eyes and gazed at Madam Su. "But now is not the time for her to make sacrifices year after year. She must make a meaningful sacrifice. Do you think it is enough for her to simply return the Breath Soil to you?"
Madam Su couldn't help but say sarcastically, "You want to squeeze every last bit of value out of her as Nangong Sui."
It would have been better to just strangle her on the summit of Mount Luo back then; at least it wouldn't have been so painful.
"Just making the best use of things." Nangong Ming didn't take her sarcasm to heart.
Madam Su said, "She is a human being!"
Nangong Ming said, "If you want the Breath of Earth, she has to die. Susu, don't act like you treat Suisui like a human being. You are the one who is most anxious about her death."
Madam Su's face paled even more at his words, and she angrily flung his hand away.
Nangong Ming glanced at the hand she had shaken off, then calmly grabbed the woman's slender wrist back and firmly controlled it in his palm.
"Did the phantom beast backfire?" he asked calmly.
Madam Su kept her head down and remained silent.
Nangong Ming channeled his Five Elements Qi into her to help suppress her, saying, "Make a decision when you can't hold on any longer."
Madam Su gave a slight smile. For a moment, she suddenly wanted to ask, "If that child becomes more and more useful to you in the future, and her value surpasses mine, then who would you choose?"
But even though the words were on the tip of her tongue, she didn't have the courage to ask them.
For the first time, Madam Su was afraid.
She wasn't the one who was afraid of Nangong Ming's choice.
Who isn't afraid of death?
Who wants to die?
When faced with a life-or-death decision between people with weak blood ties, they make their choice without much thought.
Nangong Ming and Madam Su were able to get together because they were the same kind of people: ruthless enough, disdainful of all emotions, and only concerned with their own interests.
But Su Xing has already fallen into the hands of her eldest daughter, so what about him?
Su Xing gently raised her eyes, her dark pupils trembling slightly, reflecting the figure of Nangong Ming rising to greet the doctor with his back to her.
Can you really stay the same forever?
...
The bright moon shone on the sea, and the merchant ship approached the island, docking in the moonlight.
Yu Sui, draped in a black cloak, stood at the stern of the ship, reaching out to touch her still slightly numb chest. Time was running out, and the allure of the Tenth Realm Divine Soul Core was too tempting, making her unable to resist.
Seeing that he would miss the agreed time, Yu Sui used the Listening Wind Ruler to send a message to the Yin-Yang Monster to express his apologies.
Gongsun Qi: "I understand."
Yu Sui inwardly praised him for his good temper. Gongsun Qi then said, "After all, you are known for being untrustworthy, so I didn't expect you to keep your promise on time."
"..."
I need to change this nickname for myself first.
After the merchant ship docked safely, Yu Sui mingled with the crowd and left the shore, heading in the agreed direction, gradually arriving at a desolate and uninhabited place.
In the Tearful Sea of the Island of the Machine, there is an abandoned small building. This small building is built by the sea and stands on the blue sea.
The seawater of the Sea of Tears glows with a ghostly blue light at night. As the waves toss and turn, the seawater is divided into two halves, which, when viewed from above, resemble a pair of eyes brimming with tears.
I heard that this place used to be a private residence built by a wealthy man to hide his mistress. After the beauty passed away, the place was abandoned.
The once exquisite little building is now covered in cobwebs, its doors and windows have collapsed, and half of the building is submerged in the sea.
Gongsun Qi stood on the collapsed pillars of the small building, feeling the raging sea air around him. It would take a lot of effort to get here from the shore. He wondered if the little girl could successfully cross the Sea of Tears.
As he was thinking this, he heard the wind chime humming. Gongsun Qi answered the telepathic message and heard the girl's cheerful voice: "I've arrived."
Gongsun Qi had just raised his eyes, about to look for the person, when he heard a crackling sound.
White smoke rose from the seawater, and the glowing blue seawater began to boil, bubbling and turning white. From the boiling water, a jet-black skeletal claw emerged, grabbing a beam and leaping out of the seawater.
Gongsun Qi lightly lifted his eyelids to examine the monster before him, his expression remaining calm and composed.
He heard a girl's voice in his ear: "This is my sword spirit."
"Its name is Yanyan."
"You can give it the fragment."
Gongsun Qi looked at the charred, blackened skeleton sword spirit in front of him. Just by standing there doing nothing, it could raise the temperature of the surrounding area and make the cold seawater boil.
The fact that crimson flame crystal flowers kept falling off and growing back on its body was also incredible.
Those crimson crystal flowers seemed to be symbols that were still burning; as long as they had a breath left, they would be burned by the strange fire.
Gongsun Qi's sword spirit used to be similar to others, until after his wife and daughter died, he accepted the strange fire, and half of the sword spirit's body became charred black from the constant burning.
Different flames can change the form of the Nine Streams Techniques, but when they change, it means you have accepted their power and can no longer separate from them.
Therefore, Gongsun Qicai was not interested in Yu Sui's research on separating the strange fire, believing it to be impossible.
It's useless to him now, at least.
Looking at the sword spirit before him, its body charred and still burning, and hearing the girl's lighthearted voice in his ear, Gongsun Qi finally showed a hint of surprise. He was clearly consumed by hatred or a desire for destruction, yet he appeared so full of life.
"Why is it called Yan Yan?" Gongsun Qi asked, taking out the box containing the fragments of the Floating Pagoda.
Yu Sui said, "Because it hates this world."
Gongsun Qi: "Then it should be called annoying."
Yu Sui said, "But I wanted it to be cuter, so I named it Yan Yan."
Gongsun Qi listened to her explanation, then looked at the charred skull in front of him, and said calmly, "Its face, combined with its cute name, becomes somewhat disgusting."
Yu Sui: "..."
“Then I won’t change it,” she said.
Gongsun Qi didn't care about this. He handed the black box containing the fragments of the Floating Pagoda to the sword spirit Yan Yan, and said, "You didn't say you were sending your sword spirit to get it."
“I’m not that untrustworthy, look back.”
Gongsun Qi turned around and saw a dark figure standing on the distant cliff. The sea wind was raging, blowing her robes wildly. As if afraid that Gongsun Qi could not see her clearly, she waved to Gongsun Qi on the sea.
I saw her waving, but I couldn't see her face clearly.
Gongsun Qi couldn't see Yu Sui clearly, but Yu Sui, using the Five Elements Light Core that was following the sword spirit, was able to thoroughly observe Gongsun Qi.
She doesn't resemble her senior brother in appearance, but they share a similar sense of madness.
A man who has weathered many storms possesses a calm and reliable aura, but it is precisely because he is so calm and composed that the occasional glimpse of his expression in his eyes reveals his fearlessness.
A person who cannot be found to have self-control is a madman.
As Yu Sui was looking around, she suddenly felt a scorching, burning aura coming from behind her. The cool sea breeze that was rushing towards her turned into a blazing heat. In the instant she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the tall sword spirit standing behind her at some unknown time.
The sword spirit, with its black and white body, was unlike its master, who exuded a restrained and composed aura. The sword spirit was burning with arrogance and looked down on all things in the world.
Yu Sui looked up and met the empty sword spirit's gaze, but could feel the stare. She heard Gongsun Qi say, "In return for courtesy, let me introduce my sword spirit to you."
"Its name is Jinghong."
Yu Sui's eyelids twitched, because she discovered that the fragment box that should have been in the hands of the sword spirit Yan Yan was now being held by Jing Hong, who was handing it to her.
