Chapter 109 Irresistible
Next, following the established procedure, eight kinds of immortal and demonic spiritual roots were placed on the altar, and the white jade immortal lotus obtained from Immortal Lord Qiongyu was presented into the lotus jade bowl that had leaped out from the front. Then, after a great burst of spiritual light, the immortal and demonic spiritual roots, along with the white jade immortal lotus, lightly leaped. At this moment, she could see that the eight flowers, like the immortal lotus, were like lively young girls. They gracefully descended into the darkness, disappearing into the earth. Then, a rumbling sound like muffled thunder came from the ground.
To suggest that the Wood Spirit Root would be immediately unsealed, Song Chi took out his pipa and played a tune. There wasn't anything like that yet, but one could sense a subtle, unusual aura that was different from before.
The report suggests that this will take time, about 30 or 40 years... before a full reopening can be basically completed.
Putting all that aside, the golden scroll indicated there was still a mission. And now, he was at Xie Lanqing's location, truly a severe case of decision-making anxiety. Five vortexes related to weapon-refining inheritance appeared before him, and he didn't know which one to choose. However, two of the five were indeed controlled by evil spirits, so his decision-making anxiety actually had a slight advantage. But if he missed the appointed time, the inheritance he received would be compromised.
The first thing Song Chi did after being sent there was to take advantage of Xie Lanqing's unpreparedness and kick her into the vortex of inheritance. Then she collapsed by the stream where the love flowers bloomed, silently reminiscing… reminiscing my foot! She couldn't help but clutch her head.
I still need to restrain myself and focus on my career a bit. These infatuated women can't be left uncut.
Although she was no longer short of money, the Chinese valued thrift and frugality. Especially having experienced the hardship of being poor in her life, Song Chi diligently collected wave after wave of love potions. After finishing, she felt a surge of relief; this time, the love potion's effect was clearly more potent than before. She continued to swallow mind-clearing pills, her mind still filled with Mo Shubai's blue-clad figure, and various slow-motion images…
After harvesting the love flowers, Song Chi lay sprawled on the grass, gazing at the starry sky. She pounded the ground with her small fists, thinking, "This time, I'll go out and seduce Mo Shubai."
Let's see if it's a younger sister or something else. I haven't figured out how to seduce her yet, but let's set that as the priority first.
Immediately, Xie Lanqing burst out of the vortex of the spiritual realm amidst sparks and lightning, the ghostly fire chasing him like a mountain, even accompanied by lightning strikes.
At this moment, Zuiyun Sanren jumped out and gave an urgent reminder: Xie Lanqing was being chased by the evil spirit Bi Wang, and the barrier here was unstable. She should use the dark current to send Xie Lanqing's spiritual power in all directions to attract the evil spirit's attention and make it easier for them to escape.
She then added, "We might not be able to keep track of your location for a while, and it's hard to say where we'll send you. Good luck, senior sisters!"
Song Chi: "..." Here we go again. Although she cursed inwardly, the sound of her voice, like a pipa tearing silk, still echoed within the maze. She then rushed over, grabbed Xie Lanqing, and ran. Xie Lanqing was probably injured; blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth, and she was a mess, practically unrecognizable. But at least she could muster her strength and fly with her in a flash.
Before the will-o'-the-wisps and lightning could strike, the two were thrown out of the maze by a brute force. During the process, they were separated and fell in different directions.
Considering Xie Lanqing's serious injuries, Zuiyun Sanren, panting heavily, suggested dumping him in an area with towns. As for her... she's probably in the wilderness.
After falling from the sky, Song Chi found himself in a desolate, uninhabited place. He flew to a nearby mountain to determine his location, and thankfully, it was only a month or two's journey from the Azure Sword Sect.
With her current level of cultivation, she naturally has nothing to fear.
Traveling under the stars and moon, Song Chi was still in high spirits. "Senior Brother, I'm coming back to seduce you!"
Because of this intense feeling, she didn't even bother to show herself when passing through small towns, and instead opted to take the Meteor Walk to enjoy the quiet solitude.
However, half a month later, a sharp shout was heard.
"You brat, you—!"
Ahead, the mountains rippled with spiritual energy. Then, Master emerged from within a narrow passage, his flying boat piercing through the air, accompanied by Mo Shubai. It seemed they had used a precious teleportation scroll… Well, actually, she was alright.
Song Chi timidly allowed her master to carry her onto the flying boat. After inquiring about the situation, her master discovered she was mostly unharmed. Furthermore, she had traveled alone in the wilderness for half a month without sending any messages to the sect from the towns along the way. The old man was so angry that his hair and beard stood on end, and he immediately placed her in solitary confinement.
Sigh, Master doesn't understand, love is such a brain-damaging thing. She really hadn't thought about communication at all before.
Besides, being confined is fine; it gives her time to see Mo Shubai again. The moment she saw Mo Shubai, though she didn't want to admit it, she was genuinely a little timid. Falling in love definitely takes courage.
Venerable Xueqiao was initially worried that something had happened to his two disciples, but after waiting and waiting, he found that Shu Bai and the others had returned safely from the sacrificial hall. However, Song Chi and Xie Lanqing were nowhere to be seen. Then, in the middle of the night, Xie Lanqing was found severely injured a hundred miles outside Changge City. He told him that Song Chi had been with him, but when they left the maze barrier, he was thrown away by brute force and his whereabouts were unknown. He should have gone west.
At that moment, Venerable Xueqiao felt a tremor in his heart. Xie Lanqing, a sword cultivator with all five elements of spiritual roots, was already seriously injured. Song Chi was so small and not very strong in combat. What would happen if he were seriously injured and fell into an uninhabited place? Immediately, he mobilized all forces to search for him.
In the end, it was only through the connection of Shu Bai's Divine Lotus that Song Chi's location was found half a month later. At that time, Shu Bai was probably in a hurry. When he tore open the teleportation scroll, he saw that old man Qing Chenzi was so heartbroken that he almost broke off a beard.
But at this moment, there was no time to worry about anything else. Venerable Xueqiao immediately took Shubai and used the flying boat formation to move away.
As soon as they appeared in the mountains, they saw a figure in white leisurely leaning against a large rock in the distance, gulping down water. Judging from her appearance, she wasn't injured at all... she was completely fine. But this brat hadn't sent a single message through the towns for half a month; did she know how many people were worried about her?
When asked why she hadn't been communicating, the brat just glared at him and said she'd forgotten. This infuriated Venerable Xueqiao so much he nearly fainted, and naturally, he put her in solitary confinement.
And this girl… I don’t know what’s wrong with her again. The moment she saw her senior brother, she shrank back like a little quail. Even Venerable Xueqiao was a little worried. Could it be that this girl and Xie Lanqing had developed feelings for each other in the maze? Well, look at this, what a mess this is!
Therefore, he planned to lock the girl up for observation.
Immediately, just as their flying boat turned back, two small flying boats shot out from the distance. It was none other than Hua Shalan and Wen Yujiu, those two lads who had come urgently to find someone. These two… had even gone so far as to use a teleportation scroll; they were probably truly concerned about this girl. The two then escorted her all the way to the Qingjian Sect before bidding farewell and leaving.
The three of them returned to the sacred land of Yunhai Songshan. Before Venerable Xueqiao could say anything, that brat suddenly said she had a premonition and needed to go into seclusion to cultivate.
Upon returning to Scarlet Rose Pavilion, they immediately sealed off the courtyard.
To say she actually sensed something was completely untrue. That very night, she simply stared in astonishment at a huge…blank scroll, then spent the entire night reading it. Was that blank scroll perhaps the opportunity she had obtained this time? In any case, since Venerable Xueqiao couldn't see any writing on it with his divine sense, it was likely an extraordinary inheritance.
The very next day, that brat started her deceptive scheme. Early in the morning, like a dog, she pried open a small part of the seal, then waited for her senior brother to descend from Tingquan Pavilion and stroll along the lake, secretly watching him the whole way.
Since the immortal lotus regained its extraordinary spiritual vitality, Shu Bai's perception of his surroundings had become incredibly acute, especially regarding the seal. He could detect even the slightest ripple. Therefore, he was aware of any movement from his third junior sister's side.
And Shu Bai… you really put your heart into it. You look especially gentle and elegant today. That blue robe is noticeably more exquisite and softer than usual, and the light blue hair ribbon is flowing, making you look like a celestial being walking among the clouds. This is probably all for his third junior sister to see.
Then we circled the lake to the foot of Mount Feimei, and even glanced up at it briefly.
One glance from them, and the person on the other side reacted as if stung, immediately running away from the window and sprawling on the floor…
Shu Bai probably saw it, and with a slightly helpless expression, he smiled faintly and sighed before slowly walking back.
Once he returned, the seal on the Scarlet Rose Pavilion was immediately sealed off.
Venerable Xueqiao, watching this scene, was utterly speechless. You two have already exchanged Lotus Blossoms twice and held hands. Anyone else would probably be deeply in love by now. But these two… they look so hesitant. In fact, it's Song Chi who's hesitant; Shu Bai, on the other hand, was actually standing at the foot of Fei Mei Pavilion Mountain, his steps clearly indicating he wanted to climb up, but seeing the girl's flustered appearance, he ultimately… tenderly gave in to her wishes. He's probably still using that same old trick of slowly getting closer to his third junior sister.
Venerable Xueqiao estimated that what he previously thought would take a hundred years to complete, would now probably take a thousand years.
Over the next few months, both of them died. Even Venerable Xueqiao became numb to it.
Shu Bai, indeed, seemed to have gained some insight amidst their tender moments. He truly needed to go into seclusion; it was feared that after this seclusion, his cultivation would be able to completely elevate to the late Nascent Soul stage, followed by the Deity Transformation stage. Previously, these two were careless, and Venerable Xue Qiao was genuinely worried about their path to enlightenment. After all, upon reaching the Deity Transformation stage, one must have a profound understanding of the Five Elements spiritual roots to gain the Heavenly Dao's approval and forge their own unique path to immortality. Now, however, he was no longer afraid.
However, before going into seclusion, this was the first time that Shu Bai had walked towards Fei Mei Pavilion after a stroll. At that time, that good-for-nothing girl panicked and knocked over her chair when she saw her senior brother taking steps up the mountain. Then she paced back and forth in the room like a crab.
Then she took two deep breaths and quickly fixed her hair and clothes.
When Shu Bai arrived at the door, she put on a calm and composed face, greeting her senior brother in the same manner as before.
Upon entering the room, she immediately saw the overturned chair—a small piece of 'evidence'—and used her spiritual power to right it. Shu Bai, of course, pretended not to see it.
The senior and junior disciples then drank a cup of tea and exchanged a few words. Shu Bai mainly inquired about Song Chi's cultivation progress and whether he had encountered any difficulties. Song Chi replied that everything was fine and there were no problems. Shu Bai didn't stay long afterward, but before leaving, he took out a pure white brocade fan case adorned with lotus patterns, inside which was one of his fans.
It was the white plum blossom fan that Shu Bai painted when Song Chi went to Tingquan Pavilion to learn painting. However, Shu Bai had obviously added a few more strokes, painting a blooming plum blossom next to the half-open little white plum blossom. The two plum blossoms leaned against each other, looking quite sweet.
When Song Chi unfolded the painting, her chest heaved slightly. She thought she was calm, but her face had actually turned a little red. "Thank you, Senior Brother. I will definitely keep it safe."
"No need. Just take it for everyday use. If you like, I can make you a few more fans later."
"Then, thank you very much, Senior Brother."
He then bid farewell and left. Song Chi stayed in the room for almost half an hour, looking at the painting, before gently putting it away.
In the following years, this girl also began to cultivate and gain some understanding. But whenever it snowed heavily, this little madwoman would jump barefoot into the snow, grab her fan, and scream in the snow... more like a scream than a song. The lyrics... were truly unbearable to read.
What? "The wildflowers on the mountain, for whom do they bloom and for whom do they wither? Quietly waiting, will anyone pick them..."
This was a self-comparison to a wildflower, but in reality, this girl was beautiful and pure, and didn't need to embellish herself like that. The snow plum blossoms that Xue Rongzhan gave her were indeed very suitable for this girl. Her appearance was like the purest flower blooming on a branch.
Moreover, the latter half of the song is so plain and direct that it's unbearable to watch.
What? "Because that fire, burning unbearably in my heart. You, whom I yearn for, so strong, often appear in the night; I cannot resist you, I cannot banish you!"
Especially when she sings this line, the girl will suddenly kneel down in the snow and let out a passionate roar…
The sight was truly unbearable to look at. Although Shu Bai was in seclusion, Song Chi was still aware of the commotion on his side. Every time this girl sang this song, a faint smile would appear on his fair face, his eyes shining like stars, and a thousand tender feelings seemed to fall across mountains and rivers onto the person singing in the snow.
Then, after that girl finishes singing, she'll collapse in the snow, covering her face with snow. She'll mutter to herself, calling herself a coward…
To be honest, she's a real coward. Venerable Xueqiao was speechless. He could also see that the two were in a very delicate situation, and Shu Bai really couldn't take things any further, otherwise this girl would truly be too cowardly to resist running away.
Well then… let's wait for an opportunity. There will always be a chance for her to bravely face this feeling. If that opportunity just won't come, then he'll take it upon himself to arrange their engagement and give them a push. They're such a handful.
Ten years later, when Shu Bai emerged from seclusion, he had indeed reached the late Nascent Soul stage. He only needed to cultivate quietly for a while, pondering the future, and wait for the day his Daoist essence was perfected before he could truly ascend to the Divine Transformation stage. Shu Bai passed this stage quite easily.
雪樵尊者本來想着接下來，喊兩個時常上山論道，給兩人一個相處的機會。誰知這日，宋池察覺到崔雪若這邊幾個開始閉關正道，顯見的清氣蒸騰在各自府邸，在雪樵尊者咂舌這幾個悟道的奇絕時，那丫頭也吸吸鼻子看一眼那個方向，然後便開始真正收心悟道。估計長了心就是不一樣，她這邊也很快湧起悟道的清潤。看樣子只怕接下來只需個十來年，也能正道完成。那這丫頭這仙路就走的更順利了。
