Chapter 157: Stimulating the Inner Demon Xu Hui stood up and used her magic energy to...
Xu Hui stood up and used her magic energy to disguise herself as a fallen demon. Her image was based on Zhong Lingyue's, but she was more restrained.
She is in the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally she is more deeply possessed by the devil than Zhong Lingyue who is still in the Golden Core stage, but she is also better able to restrain herself.
Everything was ready. Xu Hui removed each layer of defense one by one, putting away all the defensive formations. Only then did she detect a faint sound coming from not far away.
When forming a baby, one needs to concentrate completely and not be distracted at all. The formation she had set up earlier completely isolates all movement and noise from the outside world.
Only now did she realize that when she was forming her baby, Zhong Lingyue had apparently found the location of the treasure.
And she seemed to be fighting with something, and the sound was quite intense.
When Xu Hui got a little closer, she was surprised to find that there was nothing around Zhong Lingyue. She was the only one waving the weapon in her hand, fighting against the air, and fighting extremely hard.
It was as if invisible things were besieging her from all directions. Zhong Lingyue seemed powerless and was caught in a dilemma. She was knocked down from time to time, and then stood up awkwardly to continue attacking.
This scene is like a one-man farce, which makes people laugh and cry.
Xu Hui stood leisurely by, with amusement in her eyes, quietly enjoying this extremely absurd "one-man show".
Zhong Lingyue's figure looked particularly thin on the empty glacier. Every time she swung her sword, it seemed as if she was fighting against an invisible enemy, but in fact it was all in vain.
She was becoming very exhausted, her clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking to her skin and outlining her scarred body.
His hair was scattered messily on his shoulders, with a few strands sticking to his cheeks, soaked with sweat and stuck to his skin, making him look particularly disheveled.
His breathing was rapid and heavy, and the gasps after each sword swing were particularly clear on the silent glacier.
His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with deep fatigue and weakness.
She was knocked to the ground again and struggled to get up, but her body seemed to be out of control and she collapsed limply to the ground.
He gripped the sword tightly with both hands, trying to use the power of the sword to support his body, but in the end he fell down weakly.
"How long do you want to see?" she said weakly, her eyes turning slightly, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
If she hadn't pretended to steal her demonic energy, she wouldn't be in such a mess!
Damn Xu Hui! Damn monster!
When she contracts the Netherworld Cold Flame and becomes powerful, all of you will die!
She roared inwardly, but had to compromise on the surface, showing weakness and saying, "This thing is invisible and extremely difficult to deal with. You don't intend to stand by and watch, do you?"
Xu Hui spread her hands, "It's you who's looking for the treasure, not me."
After saying that, he simply took a few steps back, making it clear that he had no intention of intervening.
Zhong Lingyue was so angry at her behavior that she laughed, "Do you know what that is? I don't believe you can still hold it in after you know it!"
She chuckled twice, stared at Xu Hui and said word by word, "Ice, Heart, Snow, Lotus!"
Xu Hui: ...
Crazy heartbeat!
The Ice Heart Snow Lotus is something that has an extremely tempting effect, and no cultivator can resist it.
Any monk!
That is to purify the spiritual roots. For cultivators, it is like being reborn!
After taking it, a single spiritual root has a chance to become a mutated spiritual root, double spiritual roots will become a single spiritual root, triple spiritual roots will become double spiritual roots, and four or five spiritual roots will become three spiritual roots.
Three spiritual roots is a hurdle, but there is still a chance to advance to the Golden Core stage, with a lifespan of 500 years. If there is a chance to find suitable natural treasures, it is not impossible to open the road to ascension.
It is difficult to build a foundation with four or five spiritual roots, let alone form a pill.
But before the Golden Core Stage, with the cultivation base of the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is impossible to go out and seek opportunities. There are dangers everywhere outside, and they cannot protect themselves at all.
The places where disciples in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages train are all designated territories that have been plowed over and over again by the cultivators, and the resources collected are sufficient for their current practice.
To talk about opening up the path to spiritual ascension is simply a dream!
Unless you have the aura of a protagonist, a fully developed cave like Quinine Cave will have unexpected surprises waiting for you!
Therefore, spiritual roots are particularly important before the Nascent Soul stage. The spiritual medicine that can purify spiritual roots is what all cultivators are eager to obtain!
Xu Huixin missed a few beats, but she remained expressionless and said, "It's really good stuff."
Zhong Lingyue's eyes showed a smile of success, but the next second, she said, "But I already have the five Chaos Spiritual Roots. There is nothing to improve. There is no need to risk my life for this."
She glanced into the void and said, "Besides, we can't even see the enemy. It's really dangerous. Let's go quickly, quickly!"
After she finished speaking, she pretended to turn around and run. Zhong Lingyue's expression froze instantly, and she asked anxiously, "You don't need it, and Wei Mubai doesn't need it either? And what about the Wei family?"
Xu Hui looked back at her in surprise, her bright eyes seemed to be saying: What nonsense are you talking about?
Not to mention that Wei Mubai's spiritual roots are already top-notch and beyond compare, Wei Mubai's relatives are not much behind.
The technology of giving birth in the world of cultivation is really high-tech. As long as the operation is done correctly, the children will all be excellent. There is no need for her to risk her life to find the Ice Heart Snow Lotus.
Besides, "I have fallen into the devil, and my relationship with him will not last long," Xu Hui said sincerely.
"You're just as selfish as that woman Zhong Xinyue," Zhong Lingyue's eyes turned red after hearing this, and she roared, "Wei Mubai is so good to you, and the Wei family even gave you the inherited planting space, and yet you're so selfish. You must know how important the Ice Heart Snow Lotus is, yet you don't even try to fight for it. You're so petty and selfish! How could Wei Mubai fall for a woman like you?"
As she spoke, she became filled with strong personal emotions, as if she had returned to the time before her rebirth, and saw the hypocritical and pretentious look of Zhong Xinyue, who had taken advantage of the Wei family step by step, and couldn't wait to seduce Mu Yuan.
Why is such a woman so lucky and always gets the favor that others dream of? Why?
She was so angry that her whole body was filled with demonic energy, her eyes were bloodshot and red, and the look she gave Xu Hui was filled with hatred and unwillingness.
It was as if she was the enemy whose flesh and bones she wished to eat.
Xu Hui looked at her speechlessly, "With the way you behave, would I think that the person you like is actually Wei Mubai?"
Then, she pretended to suddenly realize something, "It can't be true, so you want to make me possessed just to ruin our engagement? What a vicious mind!"
She had a look on her face that said, "You're so vicious!" It irritated Zhong Lingyue so much that she almost vomited blood. She gritted her teeth and spoke word by word, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Isn't it?" Xu Hui was puzzled. "Then why are you so indignant?"
Zhong Lingyue's face twisted, "Wei Mubai is such a fool, falling for women like you!"
"So Mu Yuan is not stupid, he just looks down on you!" Xu Hui smiled and hit her sore spot directly.
Zhong Lingyue's pupils suddenly shrank, and her expression twisted for a moment. She yelled frantically, "Shut up! Shut up!"
"No way! No way? You still haven't faced the truth, the truth that Mu Yuan will never choose you?" Xu Hui pretended to be surprised, but the words she spoke were like a knife, piercing Zhong Lingyue's heart deeply, making her feel excruciating pain!
"I thought he was smart," Xu Hui muttered softly, but Zhong Lingyue could actually hear it clearly. "After all, Mu Yuan showed it so obviously. Anyone can see his emotional bias."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhong Lingyue unintentionally. "That's true, actually. Zhong Xinyue is prettier and has a noble character. She... is evil and crazy. How could Mu Yuan choose someone like her as the young master's wife, the future head of the family's wife!"
Yes, she was deliberately misleading Zhong Lingyue. Mu Yuan still admired Zhong Xinyue.
She believed that Zhong Lingyue cared more about Zhong Xinyue than Miss Haitang, who suddenly appeared and had no connection or grudge with her.
The fact that Zhong Xinyue became Mu Yuan's sweetheart again would definitely drive her crazy.
Sure enough, Zhong Lingyue was so angry that her mind went blank. She rushed forward regardless of everything, waving the magic sword in her hand, wishing to kill her immediately.
Xu Hui dodged and said in the most innocent tone, "Why are you angry? I'm not wrong. It's true. Between you two sisters, she is always the best one. You were born to be her foil. Whether it's family background, appearance, temperament, talent or understanding... you can't compare to her..."
"Ahhh! Shut up! Shut up!" Zhong Lingyue lost her mind and could hardly utter a word of rebuttal. She could only roar, "Kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Perhaps she knew in her heart that even after being reborn, fate would still favor Zhong Xinyue.
She was not convinced! But she could do nothing and could only feel so angry that she felt powerless!
Xu Hui curled her lips. This was the consequence of being too obsessed. After her rebirth, Zhong Lingyue had an inner demon that she could not overcome from the very beginning, and that was Zhong Xinyue.
She wanted to surpass Zhong Xinyue, get everything from her, and live a glorious life like her!
In the original book, she was naturally successful. She dealt with Zhong Xinyue in advance, obtained the resources of the Wei family, and successfully married the male protagonist Mu Yuan, repeating Zhong Xinyue's path step by step.
In the end, she realized that this path was just like this. Zhong Xinyue was already dead, so there was no need to persist.
The inner demon will collapse on its own!
But now it's different. She didn't succeed in her plan from the beginning. Zhong Xinyue is not dead and is still standing in front of her. Although she has lost the resources of the Wei family, she is still very popular.
Coupled with Mu Yuan's unintentional preference, Zhong Lingyue dreamed back to her previous life where she was crushed. The more she compared, the more tragic it became. It seemed that no matter in her past life or this life, she could never compare to Zhong Xinyue.
The obsession turned into a demon, and after she fell into the devil, this obsession was infinitely magnified.
As long as Xu Hui provoked her a little, she would be affected by the obsession and completely lose her mind. She chased after Xu Hui and hacked at him like a mad woman.
But she was in the Jindan stage, her demonic energy was depleted and she was exhausted, so she was no match for Xu Hui.
Xu Hui easily led the person away and set up an illusion array and a trap around her.
The trap array can trap her and prevent her from getting out, while the illusion array can make her obsessed and unable to wake up, falling into even greater inner demons.
And the reason Xu Hui did this was, of course...she wanted to keep the Ice Heart Snow Lotus for herself!
