Chapter 496 Backlash
After Qi Baicheng calmed down, he felt something was not right the more he thought about it.
Shan Gao is Jiang Lisheng's pet. Did Wei Qinglan bring it into the forbidden tomb because it had lived for tens of thousands of years? Was it not because the forbidden tomb had anything to do with Jiang Lisheng?
The more Qi Baicheng thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he went to the tomb again.
As he came, the tomb suddenly became extremely quiet.
Qi Baicheng walked along the tombstones, and after a circle, he found nothing. He stopped walking and chose a place to sit down, cross-legged in meditation.
Jiang Lisheng had been extremely tired these days, and was very grateful that he stayed here and did not leave, so that she could take a break.
So, she didn't need to look at the sword manual to learn sword skills anymore and fell asleep quickly.
Qi Baicheng guarded the tomb for ten days, but there was no movement at all.
He couldn't help but doubt himself. Was he wrong? Wasn't it Jiang Lisheng's doing? Did Wei Qinglan bring Shan Gao here because it was a divine beast that had lived for tens of thousands of years. Although its cultivation was not high, it was knowledgeable?
He waited patiently for another five days, and the tomb was still very quiet, so he stood up and left.
Not long after he left, the wind blew Jiang Lisheng, who was sleeping soundly, up high and then dropped him heavily.
Jiang Lisheng was woken up by the fall. He was completely dazed and had no idea what year it was.
It was not until she was thrown down several times in succession that she came to her senses and realized that it was time for her to get up and look at the sword manual and practice swordplay.
After leaving, Qi Baicheng was very helpless. He didn't know what was going on with the sword tomb. He had been guarding it for half a month, but there was no movement. As soon as he left, the spiritual power in the sword tomb fluctuated, and the movement was faintly loud.
He sent a message to Wei Qinglan, "Is that little girl Qingxu awake?"
Wei Qinglan quickly replied, "Uncle Master, the person is still not awake."
Qi Baicheng said: "Why did you sleep for so long? It's been more than a month, right? I'll go check it out."
Wei Qinglan had no objection. "Okay, I'm worried that Junior Sister Jiang has been sleeping for a long time, so it would be nice if you could come and see her."
Qi Baicheng saw that Wei Qinglan did not object, and wondered if he was wrong. However, he did not dispel his suspicion and went to find Wei Qinglan's residence.
Although Wei Qinglan was worried about Jiang Lisheng's spirit being trapped in the sword tomb over the past half month, he felt relieved every three to five days when he received messages from Shang Zhiyi, telling him that Jiang Lisheng's soul lamp was as bright as usual.
Qi Baicheng came very quickly. When he arrived, he saw a new doghouse in Wei Qinglan's yard. Shan Gao was lying in the doghouse and snoring loudly. He snorted coldly, thinking that what future could a beast with no ambition achieve even if he lived another ten thousand years.
Wei Qinglan opened the door and said, "Uncle Master, please come in."
Qi Baicheng said nothing, nodded and went into the room.
Inside the room, Jiang Lisheng lay quietly on the bed, soundly sleeping, breathing evenly, his complexion normal, without any sign of abnormality.
Qi Baicheng stared at her for a few seconds and said to Wei Qinglan, "You said she was unconscious because of excessive loss of spiritual energy?"
"yes."
"I suspect the movement in the tomb is related to her. Can you let me check her soul?" Qi Baicheng did not take action directly, but asked Wei Qinglan.
Wei Qinglan had already expected that he came here to investigate Junior Sister Jiang's spiritual palace, but even Senior Uncle Yu did not dare to investigate Junior Sister Jiang's spiritual palace easily, so even if Senior Uncle Qi investigated, it should be fine. He nodded, "Okay."
Qi Baicheng activated his spiritual power and injected it into Jiang Lisheng's brow. As soon as it touched Jiang Lisheng's forehead, a huge force burst out from Jiang Lisheng and hit Qi Baicheng directly.
Qi Baicheng was startled and dodged quickly, but was still hit by the great force.
Qi Baicheng took three steps back before he managed to steady himself. The blood in his heart was rushing up, but he managed to suppress it and avoided vomiting blood on the spot.
His expression changed in shock, "What's wrong with her?"
Isn't it just a foundation building cultivation? How can he burst out such a strong attack power that he can't even detect it?
Wei Qinglan looked at Qi Baicheng and asked with concern: "Master uncle, are you okay?"
Qi Baicheng was terrified. "How can I look like I'm fine? Tell me, what's wrong with her? How can a person with foundation building level hurt me?"
Wei Qinglan sighed, "Junior Sister Jiang is not at the foundation-building stage. She has survived four thunder tribulations in total, and each one was heavier than the last. But for some reason, from the looks of it, she is still at the foundation-building stage."
He added, "Before Uncle Yu left, I asked him to come and see Junior Sister Jiang. He said that Junior Sister Jiang would fall into a coma for a long time whenever she lost too much spiritual energy, from three to five days to three months. It is normal for her to fall into a coma now."
Qi Baicheng frowned, "So, he didn't come to see?"
"No." Wei Qinglan shook her head. "Uncle Yu didn't dare to easily explore Junior Sister Jiang's soul palace, for fear of backlash."
Qi Baicheng was annoyed when he heard this, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
Cause him to be injured.
Wei Qinglan was helpless, "You have doubts about Junior Sister Jiang, and you believe me and won't investigate her?"
Qi Baicheng choked.
Wei Qinglan added: "Junior Sister Jiang's current cultivation level should be similar to mine. If she were awake, she would certainly not be a match for you, Uncle Master. But she is unconscious now, so the backlash is naturally stronger than when she is awake."
Qi Baicheng was speechless. "Since she has been like this since she was a child, there is nothing to say. The tomb is still the same as it was a few days ago. When I am guarding it, there is no movement. When I am not guarding it, the spiritual power fluctuates violently."
Wei Qinglan nodded.
Qi Baicheng asked again: "No news from the Sect Master yet?"
Wei Qinglan shook her head, "No."
Qi Baicheng looked solemn, "Regarding the destruction of the medicinal plants in the medicinal field, is there any new progress?"
Wei Qinglan still shook her head, "No."
Qi Baicheng asked again: "Where is Taiyi? What's going on? What has Pei Tanyi been doing recently?"
Wei Qinglan said, "Sect Master Pei is leading people to track down the monsters that attacked Qingxu and Taiyi, as well as a group of people who killed disciples from the Immortal Sect. It is said that there has been some progress and they have captured a few people, but as expected, their souls exploded by themselves, and they have not been able to get the mastermind behind the scenes out of their mouths."
Qi Baicheng nodded and asked, "Is there any news about Wen Subai who was sent to the Demon Realm by the Sect Master?"
Wei Qinglan shook her head, "No."
Qi Baicheng speculated, "Could it be that Wen Subai never went to the Demon Realm, and came back for revenge, and the Sect Master is trapped?"
Wei Qinglan didn't dare to make a definitive statement and shook her head, "It's hard to say."
"Where's Yu Wuchen? Is there any news about him?"
“Neither do I.”
Qi Baicheng looked unhappy. "Why are there no news from everyone?"
Wei Qinglan didn't know what to say.
Qi Baicheng looked at him, "Have you been a little lazy these days? Not as diligent as before? Although you have now reached the late stage of out-of-body state, far surpassing all the younger disciples of the immortal sect, there is no end to cultivation, and you must not be complacent and lazy."
Wei Qinglan nodded, "Uncle Master, don't worry, I know."
Qi Baicheng glanced at Jiang Lisheng lying on the bed, "It's good that you know it. Don't delay the great path for love. If she doesn't wake up, will you not practice?"
Wei Qinglan shook her head, "No."
Qi Baicheng reluctantly believed him, "That's good."
