Hua Xiangyun quietly looked at the Nine Lotus Cauldron, waiting for him to continue weaving.
Nine Lotus Cauldron, "...Well, whatever I do is definitely for the good of my master..."
"Then thank you," Hua Xiangyun asked again, "but you still haven't said whether it's okay or not?"
Nine Lotus Cauldron, "That's fine..."
Hua Xiangyun directly severed the connection between the two sides. Since it was feasible, there was no need for further discussion.
Other people's divine artifacts are all focused on their main purpose. I wonder if the Nine Lotus Cauldron was intentionally designed this way when it was forged, or if it has grown crooked over the years and has somehow managed to retain a secret weapon.
She must have had no choice but to sign a master-servant contract with me back then; otherwise, given the pride of a spirit, she certainly wouldn't have made a contract with a lowly cultivator like her.
But now that the two of them are bound together, she doesn't know how to break the bond, so she might as well just stay like this for now.
They can be used, but not completely trusted. Let's see how things develop over time.
Now that it is known that the Nine Lotus Cauldron is also capable of fighting against cultivators, she has gained an extra layer of protection.
Having been given a second chance at life, she cherished this life all the more, especially since her and Jiang Yi's good days were just beginning and she couldn't allow them to be ruined.
After calming my mind and circulating my energy for a week, I went directly to my desk, took out all the necessary supplies for drawing talismans, and began today's talisman-drawing task.
Whether she needs them or not, drawing talismans is a daily ritual for her.
Now, not only Jiang Yi, but even his master has stockpiled his own works from his spare time.
Wu Chenxi was also struggling in her room, wondering whether she should notify her fellow practitioners.
She feared that she and her master alone could not handle it, but they hadn't been in contact for so many years. Would they be willing to lend a hand at this last moment?
After much deliberation, she decided to first test the waters. If the other party was truly difficult to deal with, she would rather take her apprentice and temporarily avoid the situation. She herself didn't mind, but her apprentice was still young and had just begun his life.

Hua Xiangyun returned to work in the village as usual the next day. The atmosphere in Qianjin Village was even more tense than the day before. Everyone was yawning in front of the brigade leader.
The work in the fields couldn't be delayed, so Captain Ren could only pretend he didn't see it and assigned the work to others.
"Comrade Hua, how is it?" Captain Ren took the opportunity to quietly ask Hua Xiangyun.
Hua Xiangyun said, "She said she would come to check on things when she had time, so we can just wait in the village."
Captain Ren knew that Wu Shenpo rarely went out to perform divination; she usually sought help from people who came to her door.
Now that they say they'll find time to come and visit, that's already a huge favor, and he doesn't dare to insist.
It's best if neither side makes things clear; otherwise, if it gets discovered that he, as the captain, was actually engaging in crooked practices, that would be an even greater crime.
"It's really troublesome for Comrade Hua," she said, knowing that Wu Shenpo had made an exception for Comrade Hua's sake.
Hua Xiangyun exchanged a few polite words with him and then hurried off to work in the fields.
Today was the same as usual, weeding on the hillside. The weather didn't seem very good today, with dark clouds covering the sky. We didn't know if it would rain, so everyone quickened their pace.
If you get wet in this autumn rain, you might catch a cold. It's best to do as much as possible before the rain starts.
Hua Xiangyun and several other educated youths were not too far apart, but not too close either; they could see each other if they looked up.
After exchanging greetings, Hua Xiangyun began weeding.
Ren Jinpeng appeared beside her with his son at that moment, "Master, the person is currently in Xunjia Village. He has been inquiring about the people who died suddenly before."
People from the village often come to visit relatives, so we didn't think much of it, and he took advantage of the situation.
Hua Xiangyun sensed the guilt in his voice, "This is not your fault. The other party did put on an act. Did you even bother to find out if the other party was a sorcerer?"
Ren Jinpeng said, "We didn't notice that. Just like you have cultivation, we can sense it as soon as you get close, but there's no sign of that on the other side."
That's probably why they overlooked it.
The thought that the person coming might be one of Xiao Rizi's lackeys filled Ren Jinpeng with uncontrollable hatred.
"Master, could you go and take a look? If he really is here to inquire about that matter from before, we must not let him get away with it."
People who betray their ancestors are more infuriating than petty thieves.
Hua Xiangyun said, "Don't get too close. Just keep an eye on things from a distance. I'm afraid the other side might trace your line of investigation."
Now that the formation has been broken, Hua Xiangyun doesn't understand why the other party isn't hiding and instead coming over to investigate. Is it because they are fearless, or do they have other plans?
Ren Jinpeng: "But what can he possibly find out like this?"
Those people all died suddenly at the same time, so why did he make such a big fuss?
I've heard that similar paranormal events have occurred in other villages, and they were all discovered in the middle of the night. Everyone suspects that the person who suddenly died mysteriously has returned to investigate.
Once this was compared with the spirits of the other villages, the information they received was largely the same, which made them wonder how such a coincidence could happen in this world.
Moreover, those who died suddenly were all accomplices in the evil deeds. Their souls were directly scattered by the underworld officials when they died, so they could not even become ghosts, let alone come out to scare people.
Everyone is guessing that someone is playing tricks, and that the commotion is caused by the person who has been wandering around several villages these past few days.
The movement of people between the villages was so great that they didn't take him seriously, which led to him causing such a commotion that none of the spirits noticed.
No one would have guessed that an ordinary-looking man would actually be a member of the Xuanmen sect.
What made them very curious was how the other party had managed to accomplish so much right under their noses.
Nighttime is supposed to be the domain of their souls, yet the other party managed to bypass them and do such a thing without their knowledge.
Hua Xiangyun saw the doubt in his eyes, "Some talismans and magical artifacts can help them avoid you silently."
The other party made such a big commotion in order to get the people in these villages to find a nearby Taoist master to help them solve their problems.
The formation on the nearby mountains has been broken, clearly the work of our Xuanmen sect. Their attempt to lure us out is nothing more than a ploy to draw us out.
Hua Xiangyun was still a little confused. The reputation of the witch doctor was quite well-known in the area, so why hadn't the other party come looking for her?
Little did they know that while the witch doctor was renowned, she usually only performed minor supernatural feats. Such a small-scale practitioner posed no threat to them and was not taken seriously. They did not believe that a mere witch doctor could break such a large formation.
Moreover, the formation on this mountain has existed for nearly a hundred years. If Granny Wu really had supernatural powers, she wouldn't have only discovered it now.
