Chapter 369 Too Bizarre
Although Lan Xiaoxiao was a little confused, she still restrained the spiritual veins in her body that resisted the unfamiliar spiritual power and stood upright.
Luo Li watched this scene from the side, and the confusion in her eyes deepened.
What happened to the ancient people? Did they all have some terminal illness?
Shu Ya put her hand on Lan Xiaoxiao's chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next second, his expression suddenly became horrified, and he looked up at Lan Xiaoxiao in disbelief, "How could it be..."
His expression went from relief to horror in just a moment.
Lan Xiaoxiao was also a little frightened, "What's wrong, mother?"
Shu Ya's spiritual power was about to enter Lan Xiaoxiao's soul to check it out.
Lan Xiaoxiao's soul was shaken, and she immediately took two steps back, frowning and asking, "Mother, what happened?"
The place of the spirit cannot be invaded without preparation, even by relatives.
Shu Ya came to her senses and realized that what she had done was not right. She pressed her forehead and said, "Mother was impulsive."
Lan Xiaoxiao shook her head and moved closer to Shu Ya. "Mother, don't be anxious. Speak slowly."
Bei Mingyu and the others stood in front of Luo Li, "What happened?"
Luo Li's lips moved slightly, and she uttered two words, "Pills."
Bei Mingyu and the others looked at each other and realized that this was the case.
They stopped talking and waited to see what Shu Ya was going to say.
Shu Ya suppressed the turmoil in her heart and looked at Lan Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, what on earth happened to you? How could it be..."
"We'll talk about this later." Lan Xiaoxiao, though innocent, was definitely not stupid. She frowned and said in a deep voice, "Mother, you never told me about what's happening in this city. Why? And today, did you come to Ah Li to ask for the elixir?"
Shu Ya pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly, "This..."
Luo Li took a sip of tea and said, "Aunt Shu, Xiaoxiao is not a child anymore. She should know."
Lan Xiaoxiao also nodded heavily, agreeing with Luo Li. "That's right, Mother. I'm already seventeen, and I'll be eighteen after the New Year. Don't treat me like a child anymore. I also ran into Lord Shi Heng today, and I roughly know why he came here."
"That's why I'm confused as to why our ancient clan would actually cooperate with Lord Shi Heng to find the elixir for us in such a major event. It's so strange."
She looked into Shuya's eyes and said, "Mother, tell me, what exactly is our identity?"
Shu Ya looked at her daughter's determined gaze, then suddenly raised her eyes, sighed slightly, and nodded, "Okay."
Lan Xiaoxiao was delighted, "Mother, you say."
Shu Ya looked at Luo Li and the others. Before she could speak, Luo Li and the others immediately understood and said, "Auntie, you guys chat first. We'll go for a walk outside first."
"No." Shu Ya smiled, "Stay."
Luo Li was stunned and asked hesitantly, "We..."
Shu Ya smiled and shook her head, "It's okay."
Luo Li no longer hesitated. After all, she was very curious, and since Aunt Shu asked them to stay, it was probably not a big secret.
She nodded immediately, "Okay."
Shu Ya invited Luo Li and the others to sit down, held Lan Xiaoxiao's hand, and began to tell the story, "You probably all know that our hidden ancient clans actually have the tiny bloodlines of those ancient clans..."
Luo Li and the others listened attentively. The first half was normal, but when it came to the second half, Luo Li and the others were so shocked that their mouths opened slightly.
It turns out that although these ancient tribes possessed a trace of the ancient bloodline, most of them could not activate their own bloodline. If they could not activate their bloodline, they would be no different from normal spiritualists.
There is even a very special shortcoming...
That is, the soul leaves the body...
However, this is different from the recorded cases of soul leaving the body. Ordinary soul leaving the body usually only wanders around one's own physical body, but they are different.
These ancient tribesmen, especially those with high talents and activated bloodlines, will feel that their souls are being pulled to another continent.
The onset time is irregular and very random, and the process is very painful.
Some of the ancient people simply gave up resistance and followed the inexplicable attraction and left, but no news came back from them, and their bodies were all dead.
This serves as a warning to all members of the ancient tribe that they must never allow their spirits to be pulled away, and they must actively seek solutions.
They are not unreasonable people. If it weren't for this strange disease, they would never negotiate with Shi Heng at this time.
However, Shi Heng is the strongest man in the continent, and he has many followers. Si Qingyun, the dean of Tianyuan College, one of the four major colleges on the continent, is his junior fellow student. After all, his network of contacts is wider than those of these hidden ancient clans.
So they discussed it and asked Shi Heng to help them find the whereabouts of the Soul-Condensing Pill.
Moreover, they had agreed at the beginning that even if Shi Heng failed to find the Soul-Condensing Pill within the specified time limit, they would join forces with Shi Heng to solve the problem of the continental barrier.
After listening to Shu Ya, Luo Li and the others fell silent.
Lan Xiaoxiao was even more stunned, muttering, "So it's a genetic disease of the ancient people, not our Lan family's family genetic disease."
That’s right. In order to prevent Lan Xiaoxiao from being exposed to the mess of the ancient clan, the couple had kept it a secret and told her that it was a genetic disease certificate of their Lan family bloodline.
Luo Li frowned and asked, "It might be inappropriate for me to ask this, but I still want to know, Auntie, how did you guys determine that the Soul Condensing Pill worked for you? Does the onset of that 'symptom' have no regular pattern? For example, does it always occur at a certain interval?"
Her eyes moved slightly. Lan Xiaoxiao had been in Longyue for quite some time, at least a year and a half.
Except for the time when she was missing, An Shuxue stayed with Lan Xiaoxiao almost every day, and she never had an attack.
"Actually, we're not entirely sure." Shu Ya sighed and shook her head. "But we've seen similar symptoms in the records of the ancient tribe, so we thought we'd give it a try. After all, hope is always better than nothing."
She thought for a moment and continued, "As for the interval, what is known is that it will definitely occur once a year. There is no other pattern to speak of."
Lan Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, "Mother, I haven't had an attack once in more than a year."
Shu Ya suddenly looked up, her face full of disbelief, "What?!"
Lan Xiaoxiao looked at her and nodded, "That's right, it hasn't happened once."
Shu Ya frowned, her eyes filled with doubt. They were originally worried that Lan Xiaoxiao would have an attack after she left, so they specially asked the nobleman who was living in seclusion nearby to use the formation to refine a magic weapon for Xiaoxiao that could stabilize her soul during an attack.
Half on Xiaoxiao, half on her.
If Xiaoxiao has a seizure and loses consciousness, she will receive the message immediately and use the teleportation array in the spiritual weapon to go to Xiaoxiao.
For more than a year, the spiritual weapon has indeed been silent and there has been no movement.
