"Senior Brother, what did you put in your storage bag?"
Seeing Wen Jianxi's current miserable state made Shushu happier, but she was also curious to know what tricks Lu Li had played to make Wen Jianxi so pathetic.
"It's nothing, just some things that spirit beasts like to add. Yeah, it's an enhanced version that my second uncle made in his spare time."
Lu Li was overjoyed to finally find out what she wanted to know. She didn't hide anything from Shushu and told her directly.
He had just promised her this, but he had been in a hurry and forgot to say it. It wasn't too late to make up for it now.
What do spirit beasts like?
After listening to Lu Li's words, Shushu was a little puzzled. What exactly do spirit beasts like?
It was an enhanced version that her second martial uncle had made in his spare time. She remembered that her second martial uncle had made enhanced versions of many things. What exactly were they? Shushu racked her brains.
'Senior Brother, did you add beast-attracting powder? A super-strength version of beast-attracting powder?'
It wasn't until quite a while later that Shushu found something that was somewhat relevant to Wen Jianxi's current situation.
Beast-attracting powder, as the name suggests, is a powder made from various spiritual plants that can attract spirit beasts, according to a certain formula.
Once the spirit beasts smell the scent, they will all follow the scent and then gnaw on the thing containing the beast-attracting powder.
If it sticks to an object, that's fine, but if it sticks to your skin, you're in trouble. The spirit beast will definitely chase after you.
Furthermore, in the cultivation world, spirit beasts and humans have always been in a competitive and antagonistic relationship, and human cultivators capture spirit beasts.
Once captured, low-level spirit beasts are dismembered. Their meat is served as spiritual food, their blood is used as raw materials for drawing talismans or refining pills, and their tendons and bones are refined into various weapon materials. In short, there is no part of them that cannot be used.
As for those high-level, powerful spirit beasts, once captured, they will be tamed and contracted by beast tamers, and will begin to be enslaved by human cultivators, serving as battle pets or means of transportation.
All of these factors make spirit beasts inherently unfriendly towards human cultivators; those with bad tempers might even chase them for ten miles.
The spirit beasts attracted by the beast-attracting powder will subconsciously chase after the person or thing that has been stuck with the powder, treating the carrier as an enemy or food, and relentlessly harassing and attacking them.
If the regular beast-attracting powder is this strong, then the enhanced version is even more so. If the scent doesn't dissipate, it can definitely chase you to the ends of the earth.
During this time, a continuous stream of spirit beasts will join in, enough to wear someone down.
This is how Wen Jianxi is now. The spirit beasts attracted by the enhanced beast-attracting powder are under the influence of the powder she carries.
They all turned red-eyed, lost all reason, and only knew how to keep attacking her.
Thinking of this, and looking at Wen Jianxi, who was being chased all over the mountain by spirit beasts and desperately trying to escape, Shushu felt that he had vented a lot of the anger he felt when he was relentlessly chased in the Frost Ash Mountains.
Hmph~ Let her try to kill me back then, chase after me relentlessly, and tease me. Now it's her turn to enjoy this treat.
'Senior brother, how long will the beast-attracting powder last?'
Thinking back to how she almost lost her life being chased, and how she would probably be in her hands by now if she hadn't met her master, Shushu felt that she couldn't let Wen Jianxi go so easily.
If the beast-attracting powder doesn't last long, she wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire. In any case, given Wen Jianxi's status as a woman of destiny, she shouldn't be so easily killed by her.
Moreover, she felt no resistance when she thought about these things, which means that the beast-attracting powder could not actually have any substantial effect on her.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother put high-grade beast-attracting powder in his storage bag. She won't be able to get rid of it anytime soon. Unless she leaves Xianglai Forest, these spirit beasts will keep chasing her until the scent dissipates."
Lu Li obviously knew what Shushu was thinking. He patted her head and added that he had really put in a lot of effort, and Wen Jianxi wouldn't be so easy to get rid of.
Furthermore, one of the reasons he used the beast-attracting powder was to avenge his junior sister.
To ensure the success of his plan, he subtly tampered with the teleportation talisman when Wen Jianxi activated it, sending her directly to the inner perimeter of Xianglai Forest, just to ensure that she would encounter spirit beasts and be chased by them.
'My senior brother is so kind.'
Although Lu Li didn't say it explicitly, Shushu knew that he was avenging him. Shushu happily nudged his palm with his head while expressing his gratitude.
Then, the senior and junior disciples watched with great pleasure as Wen Jianxi was constantly being toyed with, attacked, and ganged up on by the spirit beasts, but they did not show any intention of helping her.
'Senior Brother, I remember Wen Jianxi has a spatial dimension, why doesn't she hide inside?'
After a while, they looked at Wen Jianxi, who was running around the mountain in a frantic manner, struggling to save her own life.
Shushu suddenly remembered her space and wondered why she didn't hide inside it. Wouldn't everything be fine if she did?
She clearly remembered that in her past life, Wen Jianxi would hide in her spatial dimension whenever she encountered danger. Why didn't she go in this time? Was she training herself?
But looking at Wen Jianxi, she didn't seem to be undergoing training. So what was it for? Shushu was completely puzzled.
'Space? Does her space have a spirit?'
Just as Shushu was scratching her head in confusion, Lu Li heard what she said, paused for a moment, and then asked, "So, that artifact spirit is the artifact spirit of the space?"
"Yes, it's a space with a spirit, a space that can hold living people, like a small world, and the spiritual energy inside is very rich."
Shushu originally thought that this time, she would be unable to bring herself to talk about Wen Jianxi, just like before, but she didn't expect that she would not encounter any obstacles this time and could just say it directly.
After she said it, she was stunned. It wasn't until she heard Lu Li's question again that she came to her senses and quickly explained to him.
Then she saw Lu Li smile, a smile that was both knowing and slightly mocking, and then she heard Lu Li's words in her ear:
'So that artifact spirit was the spirit of a spatial artifact. That makes sense. I just gave it a little nudge; it should be injured now and unable to open its spatial portal.'
Upon hearing his words clearly, Shushu was first stunned, and then almost burst out laughing.
She wondered why Wen Jianxi didn't escape through the space; it turned out that her artifact spirit had been injured by Lu Li and couldn't open the space. This was simply fantastic news.
She wanted to see how Wen Jianxi would escape next.
Thinking this, Shushu's gaze towards Wen Jianxi turned entirely gloating; he was just waiting to see a good show.
