Chapter 248: A Thousand Gold for Horse Bones Yes, a sacrificial contract, how...
Yes, the sacrificial contract can never be cancelled unless Senior Wei Yuan dies.
But what should I do now? Should I really give up on Senior Wei Yuan?
The moment the thought flashed through her mind, she firmly rejected it. After going through so many twists and turns and paying such a huge price, how could she give up so easily?
But if she doesn't agree, how can she help Senior Wei Yuan?
Xu Hui was deeply confused, staring blankly at the gate of hell, her voice filled with helplessness. "But he's our companion. We can't just give up on him like this."
Guimenguan's voice remained indifferent, "This is his own choice."
Xu Hui didn't give up and asked again, "Is there really no other way?"
However, Guimenguan chose to remain silent and did not give any further response.
Xu Hui felt helpless and frustrated, as if things had reached a deadlock.
She didn't dare to close the gap in the Ghost Gate easily, because she couldn't be sure whether Senior Wei Yuan's soul was in the ice shell or had fallen into hell.
If his soul is in hell, once the gates of hell are closed, there will be no hope at all.
Without the guidance of souls, they could no longer find that world and open the door to hell.
Therefore, she could only delay time, trying her best, regardless of everything. The longer the delay, the better. She would think of a way after Wei Mubai and Wei Muheng finished their training.
And Guimenguan seemed to understand Xu Hui's persistence and determination, and did not continue to increase the pressure and break the Wanxiang Sword.
From this point of view, Ghost Gate seems to still retain a trace of kindness and tolerance, and does not always show toughness and cruelty.
That's right, if he wasn't so gentle, he wouldn't have allowed cracks to appear in himself and ignored them.
So, Xu Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer manipulated the Wanxiang Sword to widen the gap, but carefully maintained the status quo, waiting for a miracle to happen.
A miracle actually happened, or rather, the Wei Muheng brothers have always been good at creating miracles.
"Is the method you just mentioned really feasible?" Xu Hui was shocked. She never expected that Wei Muheng's plan was so beyond her imagination.
"To face death and then to be reborn, this is our only way out!" Wei Muheng said firmly, "Since only the scattering of the soul can solve the problem, then we will first face death and then be reborn from the ashes!"
Speaking of Nirvana rebirth, Xu Hui immediately thought of Phoenix Feather, "Are you saying to use this? But we still need Phoenix Blood."
You should know that although a single phoenix feather has magical effects such as purifying evil spirits, being immune to all evil, and summoning phoenix fire, it does not have the ability to be reborn from the ashes.
Wei Muheng smiled slightly and waved his hand gently, and a crystal clear bottle of unknown material appeared in his hand.
In the bottle, a drop of golden red blood was flowing slowly, flashing with dazzling light, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
This is the legendary phoenix blood!
Xu Hui was stunned for a long moment before she couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up and praised him sincerely, "Brother, you're truly amazing! You've thought of everything!"
A treasure like Phoenix Blood is not easily obtained.
Even if someone is lucky enough to get it, few people are willing to give it away. But Wei Muheng carried it with him, which shows that he had anticipated what would happen today.
With the phoenix feathers and phoenix blood, Senior Wei Yuan's chance of survival was finally guaranteed.
But such treasures are extremely rare and difficult to find, not only in the world of cultivation, but even in the world of immortals.
After all, the Phoenix clan is powerful, and Phoenix feathers and Phoenix blood are the treasures of their clan and the key to their rebirth. How could they be easily lost and picked by anyone?
The Wei family and Xu Hui were fortunate enough to obtain and gather these two treasures together. This was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle and was fate's ultimate favor to them.
This indescribable good luck ultimately brought Wei Yuan and Han Yueyan together.
Even if they were torn to pieces, they would still be unable to repay this deep kindness, right?
It seems that the two of them are destined to be closely connected with the Wei family for the rest of their lives and become an indispensable part of the Wei family!
The methods used by the young master of the Wei family to win over people's hearts and calculate cause and effect are really extremely clever!
With such a young master, why should the Wei family worry about not being able to prosper again for ten thousand years and stand firm?
However, Xu Hui thought of herself. Wasn't she bribed in this way?
The Wei family generously gave countless treasures, showing the ultimate kindness and protection, and Wei Mubai sincerely gave her...
This is how she fell step by step, from the initial alienation and vigilance to the current wholehearted devotion. She completely regarded herself as a member of the Wei family, considering the interests of the Wei family, and was even willing to give up the opportunity to become a god for Wei Mubai.
Xu Hui smiled lightly. These two brothers were no simpler than the other. Both were good at calculating people's hearts.
But Wei Mubai also gave his absolute sincerity, willing to do everything to help her and protect her with his life.
Who would be willing to refuse such kindness?
Xu Hui couldn't help but step forward, tightly holding Wei Mubai's hand, and said with a smile, "How can it be possible? I hope our meeting didn't start from a transaction."
How wonderful it would have been if it had been an accidental encounter!
Of course, there was nothing wrong with a deal where they each had their own goals. As long as the feelings were sincere, that was enough. She never got bogged down in the details.
But she would also be curious. If there were no such prerequisites, and she and Wei Mubai had just met normally, would they have any intersection?
It should be difficult, right?
Given her personality, she might admire a banished immortal like Wei Mubai, but she would definitely keep a respectful distance from him.
Just like she never took the initiative to approach Fang Tiantian, because of the difference in abilities, they seemed to be from two different worlds.
At that time, Wei Mubai was truly a character like ice and snow, indifferent and noble. It seemed that his eyes were never stained by worldly dust, and he probably would not notice a small character like her.
In this sense, their meeting was definitely a wonderful accident.
And this accident made her and him become especially good friends!
Xu Hui thought contentedly: That’s great, isn’t it?
If it weren't for that accident, she might have been able to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, but it would be such a pity to miss Wei Mubai!
She couldn't help but hold Wei Mubai's hand tighter. Meeting you is my luck and what my heart desires!
Wei Mubai lowered his head slightly to look at her, affection surging in his eyes, and his voice was gentle and affectionate, "Even without that deal, you are the most special one, attracting all my attention."
Of course, what he didn’t say is that it might also attract other people’s attention!
She didn't know how special she was, with a pure and flawless, rock-solid soul and independent and free thoughts. She was not shaken by the mundane world and always held on to her unswerving self.
The whole soul seems to be glowing and shining.
Wei Mubai knew that as long as he saw her and got to know her, he would fall for her again.
But without that transaction, I might not be the one who won her favor, and she would be surrounded by many people who have a discerning eye for talent.
At least, Mu Yuan admires her very much!
Mu Yuan's luck has always been better than his, so he was grateful for the deal, which allowed him to tie Xu Hui firmly to his side in advance so that no one else could covet her.
The love in Wei Mubai's words was almost overflowing. Xu Hui's cheeks felt slightly hot when she heard it. She couldn't help but cough lightly to hide the throbbing in her heart. That magnetic and lingering voice was too tempting for her.
"What are you talking about? Big brother is still here." She muttered softly, turned around to avoid his lingering gaze, and the tips of her ears were as red as a sunset cloud.
Wei Mubai chuckled, feeling happier than ever before.
Even though their friendship was so deep, he still enjoyed her shy reaction. Every heartbeat and every indulgence of hers made his love more intense and difficult to suppress, as if there was a fire burning in his chest.
Wei Muheng, seeing his younger brother and future sister-in-law flirting with each other, curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not disturb them and made preparations on the side.
Soon, a Burning Heaven Fire Array with an ice shell as its core was set up.
The key to this formation lies in the Burning Heaven Fire, one of the most peculiar fires in the world.
It is born out of divine punishment. As one of the most difficult heart fires, it specifically burns the merits and fortune of the punished, so it is called "karma fire". It is an almost incurable stubborn disease that is born with the coming of divine punishment and disappears as the divine punishment dissipates.
The conditions for the birth of karmic fire are extremely harsh. Only those creatures who continue to suffer from heavenly punishment without stopping can give birth to this strange flame.
For example, people like Wei Muheng who practice calculations and often spy on the secrets of heaven will never stop being punished and retaliated by heaven.
But he had never produced karma fire before. It was not until he deduced the method to plot against Qilin and summoned the evil god that karma fire began to linger in his heart like a nightmare.
Every time he practiced, he felt a burning pain in his heart. It was a pain that penetrated deep into his bones, as if it was going to burn his soul and body to ashes.
But nothing is absolute in this world, and crises are often accompanied by opportunities.
If a cultivator can endure the excruciating pain of a raging fire burning his heart and refine it, he will be able to obtain the one-in-a-million, unparalleled Heaven-Burning Fire.
The power of the Burning Heaven Karma Fire is strong enough to burn merits, purify the soul, and remove all filth, curses and negative energy, retaining only the purest soul, which creates the conditions for rebirth.
And Wei Muheng did just that. Before his merits were bestowed upon him and all heavenly punishments were cleared, he successfully refined the karmic fire and obtained the Heaven-Burning Karmic Fire.
This strange fire uses merit as fuel, and each use consumes a large amount of merit. For Wei Muheng, merit is not only a shield during cultivation and calculation, but also a precious resource for him to resist heavenly punishment and backlash.
Therefore, using this strange fire is tantamount to burning his cultivation and health. He will never use it lightly unless faced with a crucial matter.
However, Wei Muheng used it without hesitation at this time, which can be regarded as a model of "spending a thousand gold coins to buy horse bones".
Xu Hui couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She felt that she owed Senior Wei more and more favors.
But think about it the other way around, if someone is willing to expend his or her own merits to save you, isn't that a sign of their utmost regard for you?
Isn’t such dedication enough for you to completely trust him?
Wei Muheng and the Wei family have paid a huge sunk cost for this trust. This deep friendship and commitment make them lend a helping hand without hesitation when facing any difficulties, unless you are in desperate situation and cannot be saved.
For someone like Wei Yuan, it is extremely difficult to fully trust a person or a family.
However, from this moment on, he could rest assured.
Because the Wei family has proved through their actions that their sunk costs are so high that they will not easily abandon him and Han Yueyan no matter what!
For a moment, Xu Hui even felt that Wei Muheng did it on purpose, and at a huge cost to tie Wei Yuan and Han Yueyan completely to the Wei family.
But, does Wei Muheng value these two people so much?
