Chapter 69 The Reason for Mo Hannian's Gu Poison
The person is alive, but the clay figurine is dead.
If a person dies, then the clay figurine is... alive!
Therefore, the clay figurines in Chu Wei's house were very likely made by him using the flesh and blood of the Wuqi people. Once they were skinned and their flesh was removed, they would come back to life!
Ye Li was increasingly horrified. What exactly did he want to do?
"Young Taoist priest?"
Xie Sixing waved his finger in front of her eyes and laughed, "Look at you, your face has turned pale. You don't need to be so nervous. After all, those clay figurines may not be from the Wuqi Clan. What if they were just something that sect leader you mentioned made for fun?"
Will it...?
If it's really just for fun, why set up a barrier?
Ye Li's mood grew increasingly heavy. "The Wuqi Clan, are they that powerful?"
Xie Sixing nodded casually, "Impressive. Otherwise, how could they have ruled the human world for thousands of years? They can control all living things on earth. One person is equivalent to an army."
Ye Li's voice tightened, "Then, how were they wiped out back then?"
"How were they wiped out?"
For some reason, even though Xie Sixing was smiling, Ye Li felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had asked something she shouldn't have.
That feeling was fleeting, and Xie Sixing quickly recovered. "You guys have a saying, what was it again? Oh right, good triumphs over evil, that's the idea."
Ye Li did not ask any further questions.
She could sense that Xie Sixing had many secrets, which he was unwilling to reveal to outsiders.
Xie Sixing seemed to remember something, "Right, the clay figurines of the Wuqi tribe can't be made from just any kind of soil, only from Kuangshagang. You can take a look at those clay figurines and see if they're made from the red soil there."
Kuangshagang...
It is the place where Mo Hannian was poisoned by Gu.
The Mad Sand Ridge Secret Realm is an ancient battlefield where treasures abound, but dangers also coexist.
She still remembered that when they went to the trial, it was Chu Wei who protected them.
She had suspected something when Su Ying'er accurately pointed out the location where Mo Hannian was attacked. Now that she thinks about it, everything was foreshadowed!
Could it be that Mo Hannian was poisoned by a Gu poison because he saw something he shouldn't have seen?
Just these past few days, the entrance to Kuangshagang has reopened, and she wants to go and find out what's going on.
Ye Li couldn't sit still any longer.
Just as she was about to leave, Xie Sixing called her name from behind.
"Ye Li."
He rarely addressed her so formally.
Ye Li turned her head, her expression somewhat surprised, "What's wrong?"
Xie Sixing said, half-seriously and half-jokingly, "Little Taoist priest, I advise you not to investigate anymore. After all, I quite enjoy talking to you, and it wouldn't be good if you didn't come back."
"Besides, judging from what you said about your past, neither the Lotus Sect nor the Heavenly Gate Sect are worth your attachment. Wouldn't it be better to live a carefree and happy life?"
Ye Li pondered for a moment, then shook her head firmly, "Even if I am not a disciple of the Lotus Sect or the Heavenly Gate Sect, I am still a person who seeks the Dao. If I didn't know, that would be one thing, but now that I know someone is going to wreak havoc on the world, I cannot turn a blind eye!"
Xie Sixing raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at Ye Li for a few seconds, and then shook his head with a smile.
"What a stubborn little Taoist priest."
After saying that, he casually tossed a silver mirror to Ye Li.
Ye Li caught it and looked at it. "What's this?"
"This is called the Lover's Mirror. As long as you activate it with spiritual power, you can communicate no matter where you are in the world. Oh right, you can also send things."
Ye Li was stunned. Teleporting something?
All she knew was that there was a magical artifact that could be used for communication, which was already a top-grade artifact, costing more than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, and was extremely rare.
She had never even heard of this before.
She was skeptical. "Really?"
"You'll know once you try it."
That's true, but something so valuable...
Ye Li became wary. "You wouldn't be planning to use this evil artifact for something, would you?"
Xie Sixing chuckled, "Do you know how many people would love to have this but can't? Never mind, if you don't believe me, you don't have to use it, but I advise you to keep it. If you encounter danger, it might be of some help to you."
Ye Li didn't believe it at all.
That's just bragging.
He can't even get out himself, how can he help her?
Not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings, she nodded and said, "Thank you."
After putting away the magical artifact, she looked up and saw Xie Sixing staring at her. "Is there anything else?"
“You just said that you are a rejected person.”
Ye Li swallowed the bitter taste in her throat and murmured, "Mmm."
A person who is not cared about even after death is indeed a despised person.
Although she no longer cared about their opinions, she was indeed someone whom all her closest and dearest loved ones despised.
She knew she was old-fashioned and serious, and not likable.
Both the Lotus Sect and the Heavenly Gate Sect preferred lively and adorable people like Su Ying'er.
She had been envious too.
They even felt that perhaps it was because she was so unlikable that they were not on her side.
She's probably really boring.
Just as Ye Li felt a pang of pain in her heart, Xie Sixing said, slowly and deliberately, "You are not."
Ye Li was taken aback and looked up. "What did you say?"
Xie Sixing smiled seductively, "Ye Li, among all the cultivators I've met, you are the most likable. As for those who don't even deserve to be called human, they have no right to despise you."
"..."
Xie Sixing's affirmation felt like a hot spring flowing into her lifeless heart, gently washing away her wounds.
"you……"
Seeing that her eyes were red, Xie Sixing casually crossed his legs and said, "Touched? Then bring some fruit wine and dried fruit when you come back. I don't really need any, but Huo Huo and A Jin want to eat some."
Ye Li: "..."
Do you really think she's stupid?
Leaving the Chaos Realm, Ye Li looked back at the gate with its fluttering yellow paper.
Suddenly, I realized that this place wasn't so eerie anymore.
-
The ancient battlefield of Kuangshagang is only open in March each year, and only for half a month.
However, because it is an ancient battlefield, it not only contains rare treasures, but also legends say that mythical beasts roam there.
For this reason, countless disciples, both inside and outside the sect, want to go to Kuangshagang every year.
Previously, Ye Li, as a direct disciple, naturally had a spot, but now, she needs to register together with the outer disciples.
On the day of registration, when Ye Li arrived, the area outside was packed with people.
She was just about to find a place at the end of the line when she heard a mocking laugh.
"Oh my, isn't this Jiang Li, who got lucky and entered the outer sect? What, you also want to sign up for Mad Sand Ridge?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Jiang Mengyao.
She already hated Ye Li to the core for taking her spot as an outer disciple, and when she heard that Wen Yao had hugged and kissed her in public a few days ago, she was so jealous that she almost went crazy.
So now that she had the opportunity, she spared no effort in suppressing Ye Li.
She sized up Ye Li, her tone contemptuous, "How dare you come here? Don't you know that only those at the Qi Refining stage or above can register for the Mad Sand Ridge Secret Realm? What are you doing here, a mere Qi Induction stage cultivator? Are you here to embarrass yourself? Hahahaha."
Ye Li ignored her mockery and frowned slightly.
Is it true that only those at the Qi Refining stage can register for Kuangshagang?
Does that mean we need to help Jiang Li break through to the Qi Refining stage?
To be honest, with her skill level, cultivation wouldn't be difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that Jiang Li's mixed spiritual roots are all incompatible. If she wants to cultivate, she must cleanse her marrow.
However, the ingredients for the Marrow Cleansing Pill are extremely difficult to obtain. The medicinal materials that Wen Yao previously refined for Su Ying'er were personally obtained by Master Qingyu from the pharmacy. Where could an outer disciple like her get the Marrow Cleansing Pill?
"That's easy, just steal it with your soul."
Ye Li was startled by the sound in her arms and quickly went to a secluded place before taking out the silver mirror.
