Yi Shu awkwardly touched the tip of his nose. "It was indeed wrong of me to lie to you. I was just momentarily bewitched. Let me tell you the truth, there is no such thing as the Yun Gang Bottle in this world."
"No Cloud Gang Bottle?! Then what's in my hand?!" Fu Chishang frowned.
"This bottle is a low-level sacred artifact that I found. Its main function is to absorb one attack from a pseudo-immortal realm."
“But I’ve heard that the Cloud Gang Bottle is something that can restrain the world’s most precious treasures,” Fu Chishang said.
"Those are just messages I spread. As the spirit of the Luo Scroll, I have to devour many top-grade spirit stones every day to increase my power and maintain my talent of changing my form at will."
"I needed more and more top-grade spirit stones each time. Later, I heard that you were inquiring about a supreme treasure, so I fabricated a Cloud Gang Bottle for you, just to make a fortune in top-grade spirit stones."
"I made all of this up. How could there possibly be a divine object like the Cloud Gang Bottle that could restrain all kinds of treasures?"
Fu Chishang stood there dumbfounded, his fists clenched. The Cloud Bottle didn't exist at all, so what would happen to his sister?
"You are really not afraid of being beaten by doing this." Ruan Xiyan said lightly.
"If you want to beat me up, you'll have to find me first. If it weren't for you, I would have run away long ago. They can't stay here forever. I'll come back when things calm down."
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. They will never expect that I will continue to swagger around here. I can just change my appearance again later."
"You ruined my perfect plan in the end." Yi Shu looked at Ruan Xiyan with a hint of resentment.
"From what you're saying, you're a repeat offender." Ruan Xiyan clenched her fist. "Sure enough, a little brat like you just needs to be taught a lesson."
"You're the little brat. You didn't even know where I was when I first came into existence," Yi Shu retorted, craning her neck despite her fear.
However, seeing Ruan Xiyan approaching him, he panicked completely, "You... what do you want to do? I... I will return all the top-grade spirit stones to you."
Yi Shu took out all the top-grade spirit stones he had obtained from Fu Chishang. Seeing that Ruan Xiyan had not stopped walking, he said in a trembling voice, "Don't come any closer. It's very rude of you to touch me like that."
"Let me tell you, although I am a book spirit, I am actually very powerful. If I get angry, even I am afraid of myself."
"Enough with the nonsense." Ruan Xiyan tossed the top-grade spirit stone in his hand to Zi Ren, who was standing to the side, and then grabbed him by the collar. "Sect Master Fu, what are you going to do with this guy?"
Upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, Fu Chishang finally came to his senses. Looking at Yishu, who was thrashing about with his feet off the ground, his expression was grim.
"Do you know how important this is to me? Do you know what it feels like to give someone hope and then despair? Now you want to erase everything with just one wrong word?"
"What else do you want? I lied to you, you don't want to kill me, do you?" Yi Shu was on the verge of tears, truly regretting her actions.
He was a book spirit who couldn't even kill a chicken, and he only knew how to reason with people; martial arts were really not his forte.
Facing these fierce-looking people, not only did he fail to obtain the top-grade spirit stones, but now he's also going to lose his life here!
“As the spirit of the Luo Scroll, you know many unknown things in the world. If you don’t want to die, answer whatever I ask you.” Fu Chishang looked at Yishu. “If you satisfy me, I might spare your life.”
"Ask me, ask me, ask me! I'll tell you everything I know."
How should we resolve the issue of the "Avoidance Cone" (a magical acupuncture point)?
"A mind-avoiding cone! Is someone's body sealed by a mind-avoiding cone?"
Fu Chishang nodded.
"No wonder you're searching for treasures everywhere; there are even people using such a vicious thing as the Mind-Avoiding Cone."
"If you're thinking of finding a treasure that can solve the problem of the Mind-Avoiding Cone, I advise you not to waste your time and to give up on that idea as soon as possible, because the Mind-Avoiding Cone has always been unsolvable."
Upon hearing the words "avoiding the awl," Ruan Xiyan's eyes fell into deep thought.
The awl of thought-avoidance seals away desires and emotions. Only by being free from desires and thoughts can one avoid the backlash of the awl of thought-avoidance. Otherwise, once the backlash occurs, the suffering one will endure is unimaginable.
But whether it is a human or a god or demon, it is impossible to sever desires and be free from all attachments. Even the creator god could not do it.
Therefore, people with a constricting pore in their bodies are experiencing extreme pain at any time.
“You say there isn’t one because you don’t know. I don’t believe the Avoidance Cone is unsolvable. I will definitely find a way.” Fu Chishang’s gaze was firm.
"Why are you so stubborn? You can question my strength, but you can't question my abilities in this area. I am the spirit of the Luo Scroll. This is an insult to me."
"You dare call yourself the Luo Huajuan Book, who knows everything in the world? You don't even know how to break the Averting Thought Cone. What kind of book spirit are you?" Zi Ren sneered at Yi Shu.
"Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. Let's keep looking. We're sure we can find a way," Zi Ren said, comforting Fu Chishang as he looked at the grief in her eyes.
Fu Chishang looked at Yishu and said, word by word, "I am very dissatisfied with your answer."
Yi Shu shuddered at Fu Chishang's appearance. "Well... although I don't have a solution for the Mind-Avoiding Cone, I can alleviate the pain during its attack."
Yi Shu hurriedly replied, fearing that if he was even a step too late, he would not see the sun rise tomorrow.
A green ball of light appeared on his palm. "When the 'Avoidance Cone' attack occurs, it can cause excruciating pain that can kill a person. This is the spiritual source that I nurtured when I condensed my spirit."
“Spiritual sources are extremely precious and rare, containing boundless vitality. Placing a spiritual source within the body can alleviate some of the pain caused by the Mind-Avoiding Cone.”
"Consider this wisp of spiritual energy compensation for deceiving you." Yi Shu handed the spiritual energy to Fu Chi Shang with a pained expression. "Can I leave now?"
Zi Ren glanced at Fu Chi Shang, and after Fu Chi Shang agreed, he waved to Yi Shu, "Hurry up and leave! If you try to trick us again in the future, it won't be so easy for you to leave."
Yi Shu felt as if he had been granted a pardon and ran away without looking back.
These people are his nemesis. He'll definitely stay far away from them next time he sees them. No! There won't be a next time. He's moving!
Ruan Xiyan looked at the dazed Fu Chishang, "Sect Leader Fu, are you alright?"
She could tell that the person Fu Chishang was talking about was very important to him, but she didn't know who that person was.
But since Fu Chishang is a member of the God Clan, this matter must be related to the secrets of the God Clan, so she couldn't pry too much.
