After saying goodbye to Elder Lanli, Su Man, who was happy to receive the forgiveness card, did not return to the Fox Palace, but walked in the opposite direction.
Now that she had the token, it was a good time for her to slip away.
Sure enough, the journey was smooth, and no one stopped her until she left the fox clan's barrier.
Su Man identified the direction and set off without stopping.
Fortunately, although Shi Man did not become an immortal, he was at least a nine-tailed fox spirit. In less than an hour, he arrived at a place hundreds of miles away.
Wuyou Cave is located in a wasteland desert. Although it is spring, the sky is filled with flying yellow sand.
Su Man walked in the dust relying on her memory, searching for the entrance to the Worry-Free Cave.
After about an incense stick of time, Su Man finally saw a ruin.
Most of the bluestone brick walls had been weathered, and the flags tied to the fallen railings had rotted beyond recognition.
She closed her eyes and chanted a series of spells, walked around in circles a few times, and suddenly opened her eyes, "Open."
The sound of the wind died away in an instant, and a few mud-filled houses came into view. Confined by the geographical environment and lacking any decoration, they looked like yurts.
Su Man called out, "Is anyone there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cholera came out of one of the sand rooms.
"Shiman, you're back."
He was very surprised to see Su Man coming back, and he quickly came up to Su Man and asked, "He is willing to let you come back?"
"I slipped out while he was out. How's Granny Tree?"
Although Cholera was a little disappointed, he also understood that Suman had no choice. He pointed to one of the slightly larger earthen houses and said, "Grandma is in there."
inside the house
An old woman lay on the ground, covered with a net of leaves and vines. Her face was wrinkled like bark, with a slight depression around her mouth.
"Mother-in-law..."
Su Man called out softly.
Seeing that Granny Tree didn't respond, Cholera stepped forward and nudged her, "Granny, the little fox is back."
He called for a long time before the old lady opened her eyes. Her cloudy eyeballs rolled a few times and looked at Su Man's face.
She slowly raised her hand and pointed in Su Man's direction, "You're back."
Su Man quickly knelt beside her and held her hand. "It's Grandma, I'm back. How are you?"
The tree lady was seriously injured and had to rest for a while after saying a word. "I'm fine, child, don't be afraid."
She took a few deep breaths and said, "Have you... eaten yet? Grandma left some fruit for you."
Seeing that the old lady was still worried about whether she had eaten enough at this point, Su Man's nose was sore and she said in a hoarse voice, "Grandma, I'm full. Please don't move and rest well."
Grandma Tree did not respond to Su Man. Her body was already frail and saying these few words was already her limit.
Seeing that she was about to fall asleep again, Su Man hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, you called me back in a hurry, do you have something to say?"
The tree grandmother's eyes had begun to blur, but she still insisted on not closing them. "Man'er, you are in danger. Hurry, run..."
Su Man was puzzled. "Danger? What danger?"
“Run…”
The tree lady's consciousness had become blurred and her eyes were closed. No matter how Su Man called her, she couldn't wake herself up.
"Stop yelling. Grandma Tree has been like this for a while now. She's been awake for less and less time these days. I'm afraid..."
Cholera didn't want to say the word, so he just gritted his teeth.
Su Man frowned, "Is there any way to save my mother-in-law?"
"Yangyan Immortal Pill."
Cholera helped the tree grandmother cover herself with a blanket and whispered, "But this kind of elixir is only found in heaven. The elders have all gone out to look for herbs. I want to see if I can make the elixir."
Su Man didn't say anything. Generally speaking, the materials used to make elixirs were extremely precious. Not only that, but even the picking season was fixed, not to mention that they also required the blood or inner elixir of rare and precious animals.
There are also some elixirs that even require souls to be refined. Behind one pill are the wronged souls of countless people.
At the moment, it is obvious that Grandma Tree is running out of time, and it is nothing but a fantasy to think that she can refine the elixir under such circumstances.
No wonder Wuyou Cave is so quiet. I guess everyone is busy looking after the tree grandma.
Su Man narrowed her eyes. If it was an elixir from heaven, going there to get it would be the easiest way. She had a vague plan in her mind.
As she was thinking, Su Man suddenly thought of something very important. "By the way, Cholera, what is the origin of this black jade you gave me?"
Cholera's eyes flickered. "What's wrong? Is it not working?"
“No, it’s just that it’s so useful.”
Su Man briefly talked about what had happened in the past few days, and then took out the black jade.
Seeing the dense red lines on it, Cholera's eyes widened. "I never thought it would be willing to form a blood alliance with you."
Su Man was puzzled, "What does the blood alliance mean?"
"Well, in that case, I'll tell you, actually, inside this black jade..."
Cholera chose his words carefully, "It's sealed with ghosts."
"What?"
Su Man suddenly felt that the black jade became hot. Why did this story become so scary?
...
According to Cholera, the magical instruments of the ghost clan are all used to seal ghosts. Most of these ghosts have incomplete souls, and if they don't have a place to live, they will eventually die.
"But because of this, these magical instruments also have their own minds. I have worn this black jade since I was a child, but it has always refused to form a blood alliance with me. Although I know it is powerful, I can only use it as a low-level magical instrument. I didn't expect it to recognize you."
Having said that, Cholera looked at Suman with a complicated expression.
Su Man tried to comfort him, "Well, if the old doesn't go away, the new won't come."
"Forget it, it's a gift from me anyway."
At this point, Cholera also accepted this fact. "From what you said, you should have entered the ghost path with Heizi's help, but you are not able to control the ghost energy in your body well yet."
"Kuroko?"
"Oh, it's this Black Jade. When it followed me before, I always called it Blackie."
Suman: No wonder it refused to follow you...
Although the name Cholera was unreliable, the person was still reliable. He sat cross-legged with Su Man facing each other, using his own ghost energy to pull Su Man, guiding her to condense the ghost energy in her body.
But the ghost energy in Su Man's body was like thick fog, visible but not touchable. As soon as it was pushed to one side, it dispersed to the other side, with no fixed direction.
Just when she was at her wit's end, Cholera reminded her, "Use the power of Heizi and let it help you."
Su Man followed his instructions and urged Heizi to let its breath envelop the mischievous ghost energy in her body, guiding them to gather together.
Soon, the feeling she had in Yueyin Cave came back. She felt a chill between her brows, as if something was taking shape.
Cholera looked at the black air on Su Man's forehead condensing into a vortex with surprise.
The Ghost Sect's cultivation is different from that of the Demon God. The Demon Gods all form the Dan, while the Ghost Sect cultivates the soul. Seeing that Su Man's soul body is about to be completed, it means that she has reached the Soul Gathering Stage.
When Su Man opened her eyes again, she felt something was different.
