Chapter 249: Vision and Harvest (2)
The series of strange phenomena that just occurred brought a huge amount of information and more confusion.
First, the original will-o'-the-wisp sparks could touch the soul seal, then the green-hearted white flames inexplicably appeared, and finally, the soul seal transformed into feathers. Luo Xuanyi could only take every detail into account, listing them in detail, analyzing them one by one in an attempt to grasp the full picture.
The focus of this change is on the soul seal and the green heart white fire. What ignited the two was her original ghost fire and a spark.
Luo Xuanyi knew very well that the spark did not ignite the soul seal, but exploded the moment it touched it, and then the strange green heart and white fire suddenly emerged.
Regarding the Soul Seal, it has now been confirmed that it can be touched by her original will-o'-the-wisp fire, and can be burned by the green heart white fire and transformed into blood drops. Adding to the previous evidence that the Death Qi could not touch the Soul Seal, the method of enacting the Soul Seal is now clear - soul and blood.
Although Luo Xuanyi found it difficult to imagine how one could perform magic with just soul and blood without relying on spiritual power or dead energy, the fact was this: the mark engraved on the soul with only blood was the soul seal.
Logically speaking, using a Daoist method derived from the soul or blood would have a chance of erasing the Soul Seal. However, even if they had a slight understanding of its operating principles and confirmed that the Origin Ghost Fire could touch the Soul Seal, Luo Xuanyi would not conduct further experiments on herself.
At least before the next experiment, she had to find out what the Green Heart White Fire was.
The Green Heart White Flame could easily incinerate a soul seal, so its essence must be within the realm of soul, blood, or something similar, based on the origin of the budding energy. Before attacking the soul seal, it first absorbed a large amount of soul energy to increase its own strength. Even Luo Xuanyi's original will-o'-the-wisp fire was involuntarily captured by it. If she hadn't reacted in time, she would have suffered a serious blow from the root.
Before the Soul Seal appeared, Luo Xuanyi had a feeling in her heart that something was wrong, but then the Green Heart White Fire suddenly appeared. After it was shattered by the Soul Seal, Luo Xuanyi vaguely felt something snap in her heart.
What made her so wary wasn't the Green Heart White Flame's soul-sucking and blood-burning power, but its ability to move freely within Luo Xuanyi's sea of consciousness. She could probably guess that the Soul Seal was the work of the Yao family, but she couldn't guess what the Green Heart White Flame was, let alone why it had come.
The only purpose of the Green Heart White Fire seemed to be to devour the blood drop transformed from the soul seal, but after it was cut, it could obviously continue to absorb the living soul to replenish its strength and forcibly seize the blood drop, but it chose to leave directly.
Luo Xuanyi couldn't see through it, but alarm bells were ringing in her heart.
If someone controlled the Green Heart White Flame, wouldn't her life be in danger at any moment from an unknown entity? She had no idea of their motives. If that unknown entity one day turned its attention to her, how would she respond?
Luo Xuanyi looked down at her hand. In pursuit of power, she had transformed herself into a treacherous cultivator, leaving this hand merely a decorative facade, a product of death energy. Her vision, hearing, smell, touch—everything—had been replaced by the perception of death energy. But she had gained a power that brought her peace of mind.
What if the power she constantly pursues cannot protect herself?
Luo Xuanyi didn't think about that much now. The only thing she could think about was to continue to become stronger, even stronger. Even if it meant exploiting and squeezing others dry, before she was exploited and squeezing herself dry.
Luo Xuanyi let go of all distracting thoughts and exhaled deeply. Although she didn't need to breathe, she could feel a sense of mental relaxation every time she did it.
Withdrawing her gaze, Luo Xuanyi sat cross-legged on the ground and finally began to calculate the gains of her trip.
The two storage bags in her sleeves, which she hadn't yet managed to store in her sea of consciousness, contained the materials for the trade between Guhu Town and Luo Xuanyi this month. She had spent the last of her spirit coins from the Ghost Market raid on these, but it was definitely worth it—a total of 26,000 spirit herbs and 15,000 demon beasts.
A rough estimate shows that these materials can be used to make at least fourteen formation flags!
Of course, the material consumption may change after the formation flags are refined into eight, but Luo Xuanyi is absolutely guaranteed to be able to use the eight formation flags to perform the basic formation.
Luo Xuanyi's frown relaxed slightly. Her strategy of doubling her purchases had worked. To earn more spirit coins, the residents of Guhu Town had hoarded almost their entire harvest this month and refused to sell it to the six major trading houses and Puji Trading House. Without the groundwork laid in the first month, such success would have been impossible.
With just these materials, Luo Xuanyi was already well-funded. And she hadn't even started collecting the other spoils yet.
Luo Xuanyi placed the two storage bags on her left hand side, raised her right hand, and it turned into a long, pure black thread woven from death energy, just like the Styx in the sky that swallowed up Yu Zhilaimian's caravan, flowing silently on the grass in Taoyuan Realm.
The deathly aura spread out, gradually creating ripples. The domes of bronze chariots rose to the surface of the black water. Within a few breaths, the fleet of bronze chariots, some damaged and some intact, covered the forest meadows, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The chariots were all made by the six major alliances, magnificent and adorned with countless jewels, but Luo Xuanyi had no interest in them. Although she had long since learned the number of materials required from Master Ding Jing, she happily inspected each chariot one by one—another ten thousand spiritual herbs and ten thousand demon beasts.
Furthermore, the spiritual herbs and monsters from the six alliances were generally 10% higher in quality than those sold to Luo Xuanyi by the townspeople of Guhu Town. This meant Luo Xuanyi no longer had to worry about materials for her formation flags.
Among them were the souls of the remaining cultivators, captured specifically using the death energy within her sea of consciousness. Luo Xuanyi individually pulled out the gold paper belonging to two formation cultivators and tucked it into her sleeve, awaiting a soul search. The remaining souls were stuffed into Rong Gui, and the corpse of the Thunder Beast was not to be wasted, so it was stored in the storage bag for the demon beast.
After a careful inspection, she confirmed that the orbs on the chariots were useless and there was nothing good left in the caravan, so she put away the empty chariots. Maybe she could sell them as scrap at the ghost market later.
These gains were enough to make her blood boil, but think about it, there were also several cities' trading houses with full warehouses of goods.
Luo Xuanyi finally smiled, rubbing her hands together and began to count the various goods offered by the trading houses.
