Chapter 148: The Mystery of the Blood Talisman as a Spirit
Long Qi took out a yellow talisman from his arms. The talisman was shaped like a human, and the runes on it were dark red, unlike the cinnabar color seen in daily life. It was now glowing with purple light.
Just as Long Qi was wondering why he had this thing on him, Mai Dong was startled. Seeing the purple light getting brighter, she hurriedly snatched it from Long Qi's hand and threw it to the ground.
At the moment when the talisman fell to the ground, the phantom of the spiritual fragrance appeared where it landed, and the phantom changed between reality and illusion, and from time to time it turned into a solid entity.
"Oh my, the blood talisman is indeed more powerful. It can actually be activated from such a long distance." Lingxiang looked at Maidong in admiration. "Next time, even if it's your master, he will definitely not say that it's because my cultivation is not enough and I can't withstand his spiritual power."
Although it was just a joke, Maidong had some knowledge of the art of talismans. Drawing talismans with blood would shorten one's lifespan. What was so important that required the use of blood talismans?
Seeing the worry on Maidong's face, Lingxiang looked unconcerned.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. If I can help the Kunwu Sect this time, they will owe me a great favor. I will never do business at a loss, so I will naturally ask for it back, right? Don't worry."
But these words made Long Qi confused. What on earth was this little girl planning?
Xinyi, who had been silent all the time, looked over when he saw Lingxiang. Seeing the expression on his face, Lingxiang knew that he must have discovered something.
"But did you gain anything?"
Xinyi frowned, but remained silent for a long time before speaking: "It's not just about the harvest..."
Upon hearing this, Lingxiang became interested and sat down next to him: "That's interesting. Now I use blood talismans to replace my spirit. I have plenty of time to listen to you. Please tell me in detail."
"That person is a female general beside the Demon Lord, named Yinghua, who is skilled in the art of punishment and transformation..."
…
"You are! Yinghuan!" Xinyi was horrified. Yinghuan always stayed by the side of the Demon Lord and had never been seen outside. Why would she risk her life to come to Yuanqing?
Isn't she afraid of Yuan Qing's elders?!
"Oh my~" Yinghuan sighed, her tone full of seduction, "I didn't expect you to realize it was me just now. I thought you would know after watching me for so many days."
"How could you enter Yuanqing? This Yuanqing sect clearly has..."
Before Xinyi finished speaking, Yinghuan interrupted and said, "It's the mountain guarding formation~" Yinghuan said, and walked to Xinyi with a sigh.
"This Yuanqing Sect is truly getting worse with each generation. When Ling Xiao was the Sect Leader, there wasn't even this ridiculous mountain defense formation. How could they be so afraid of demons like us? And yet none of his disciples are any good, yet they still go to the trouble of setting up these things. Besides, these things are useless, how can they stop us?"
As she spoke, Yinghua placed a hand on Xinyi's shoulder and whispered into his ear, "Don't you agree, Lu family boy?"
This look seemed to be teasing Xinyi, but Xinyi remained motionless, just closing her eyes: "What are you doing here?"
However, Yinghuan's face looked extremely aggrieved, and she even wrapped her arms around Xinyi. "After all, I am your master, and I have taught you for many years. It's been so long since we last met, and yet you are so stiff. It makes me so sad! Or..." As she spoke, she even kissed Xinyi's earlobe, "Or maybe now that you have a new master, you despise me, your old master."
Xinyi clenched her fists, remaining unmoved, like a pine tree. "You went to such great lengths to enter Yuanqing, just to find out about Elder Fucang?"
Upon hearing this, Yinghua let go of Xinyi and covered her mouth with one hand, as if she was very surprised. "Oh my! He's actually called Elder Fu Cang? Listen to this name, it's so unlucky, it really is such an unlucky name!"
Xinyi couldn't help herself anymore and pushed her away with a wave of her hand. "How on earth did you hide this from the elders of the Yuanqing Sect? What is your purpose in coming here? Given your personality, it's definitely not as simple as just trying to find out about Elder Fu Cang."
Yinghuan leaned against a nearby tree and chuckled softly. Her laughter was frivolous, and her posture was extremely charming. "You, you, even though you've grown up so much, your concentration is still so poor. It's a pity that I've been training you since you were young. Of course, I just want to see what kind of ability this Elder Fu Cang has. She can actually refine the life-extending elixir. If she can really refine it, then I will kidnap her and go to refine medicine for the Demon Lord every day, right?"
Xinyi frowned upon hearing this: "Do you think you can succeed in front of all the elders?"
"How can you know if you will succeed or not if you don't try?"
…
"So, she's coming for me." Lingxiang said, pinching her chin, with no worry on her face.
Long Qi, who was standing by, was unwilling to listen to this and said, "Since you have discovered this, why don't you tell the Sect Leader and kill this monster as soon as possible to prevent future troubles?"
Mai Dong, however, had a different opinion. "I find this quite strange. Although Senior-Martial-Uncle Zhao Ming's cultivation isn't as high as our Grand-Master's, this mountain-guarding formation was designed by the Old Man with the Bamboo Staff. It's impossible for him to let any demons in. So how could someone called Chang Pu be a demon?"
"You won't let any demon go? Have you forgotten what happened during the martial arts performance?"
Upon hearing this, Lingxiang pulled Long Qi beside her. She knew the reason for the previous incident. It was just a confrontation with Xinyi, but she had never told anyone about it. To be honest, it was not Master Zhaoming's fault.
"The demons have always had many methods, but what is certain is that Acorus is definitely not a demon."
Xinyi was very confused when he heard this. He had clearly seen her before and was sure that she was the transformed form of Yinghuan. How could she not be a demon?
"you mean?"
Lingxiang smiled and said, "I don't mean anything. I just want to make sure she's not a demon."
Just as everyone was wondering why she was so sure, she turned to Long Qi and asked, "I asked you to go to the Ancient Bamboo Forest to ask for the Cizhu Sword. Did you get it?"
Long Qi was shocked when he heard this. Was he going to get the sword or not?
If she said that it was coming, Lingxiang would have to take the flute back, but if she said that it was not coming, what would she do if Lingxiang really wanted to use it to exorcise the devil?
Long Qi hesitated for a long time, and Lingxiang became impatient. She pulled him and asked again, "Are you going to get it or not? This is a matter of life and death, and there can be no room for carelessness."
Hearing this, Long Qi hardened his heart and replied as if he had suffered a great injustice: "Of course I came, and I got beaten up by that old man! He looked so skinny, but I didn't expect him to be so strong. He even beat me so hard that my head was swollen!"
Lingxiang was a little confused when she heard this. Although the old man with the bamboo stick had a strange temper, he was not an unreasonable person. Besides, she had asked Long Qi to take the jade flute with him, so why would he hit him?
As soon as Lingxiang thought of the jade flute, she immediately understood. Her face flushed and she said to Long Qi in a bad mood:
"Since it's about to arrive, hurry up and get it!" He said with a sullen smile: "It's time to teach that Yinghuan a lesson!"
