Chapter 0: 90. Spirit Tool Advancement
Qin Gou immediately asked the White Robe Girl to investigate if there was anyone else in the entire Profound Realm with a similar aura to the Ying Wusheng in front of him.
The answer was ‘absolutely not’.
“A Xi, do you have any clues about this? Could it be that the original Ying Wusheng was sent to the Western Heaven Realm in his place?”
“Ding. That is indeed a possibility, but I don’t know if only consciousness and cultivation were exchanged, or if the two soul pearls were truly swapped. Host, do not forget that there is an invisible connection between the beings of the Western Heaven Realm and this place.”
“He said that as soon as he woke up, he was in a dangerous turbulent flow. Should that be the Law Turbulence Zone at the border? Is it related to this?” Qin Gou continued to ask.
“Ding. If there was no human intervention, the possibility is extremely small.”
“So, the karmic restraint of the Goose Return Cage is indeed that strong,” Qin Gou couldn’t help but sigh.
“Ding! The strength of Goose Return Cage’s restraint has a major premise, and that is whether the conditions set can be met by the Host themselves. As long as it does not exceed the Host’s own ability, the other party will definitely arrive on time no matter what.”
“In that case, could this Goose Return Cage be used to help the people of the Western Heaven Realm, or everyone here, travel to each other?”
“Ding… It’s really not certain that everyone can be as intact as Ying Wusheng.”
“Indeed, this matter is truly strange.”
Qin Gou looked at Ying Wusheng again, formed a hand seal with his right hand, and chanted incantations.
“What did you do?” Ying Wusheng keenly sensed something was wrong.
Besides, how could Qin Gou not leave some backup when he confined him back then?
In an instant, brilliance bloomed on the chest of Ying Wusheng’s Dao Body, and a soul pearl flashing with dark light uncontrollably flew towards Qin Gou.
Holding the soul pearl in his hand, Qin Gou couldn’t help but be shocked.
At this moment, an obvious mark had appeared on Ying Wusheng’s soul pearl without anyone knowing when.
“This aura is Human Race, Demon Race, and…”
The answer was obvious.
Nine Saint Monarch!
“Is it Luo Wei Ban from the Western Heaven Realm? Is she involved in this matter?”
Qin Gou suddenly thought, could it be that the ‘important matter’ that the Nine Saint Monarch Luo Wei Ban was going to handle, as mentioned by the people of the Western Heaven Realm, was that she would personally come to this realm from the Western Heaven Realm?!
Even now, perhaps she had already arrived? But how did she discover this realm, and how did she manage it?
For a moment, a trace of genuine admiration appeared in Qin Gou’s eyes. One must never underestimate the Nine Saint Monarch’s extraordinary wisdom and boundless ambition at any time.
At the same time, Qin Gou re-confined Ying Wusheng’s soul pearl for further research later, and his trial by the White Robe Girl still had to continue.
In the end, within the Profound Realm, besides Shu Yinxing and Ying Wusheng’s soul pearl, there were no other Demon Races.
After all, most people were still trapped in the pure white space or the law turbulence zone at this moment.
And in the previous battles, whether it was Qin Gou fighting alone or the White Robe Girl acting on her own, all the final cleanup work was completed by Qin Gou, and the Merit points were not lacking.
“Does this trial count as completed by me too?” Qin Gou asked.
Upon hearing this, the White Robe Girl first glanced at Shu Yinxing, then hesitantly said, “Barely, not as good as before. The difficulty will automatically increase later, because this Demon Race…”
“As long as it can pass,”
Qin Gou quickly interrupted and changed the subject, “Could it be that in the later stages, the challenger in one of the rounds becomes you?”
“I will not make a move against the Human Race,” the White Robe Girl said directly.
“Fellow Daoist is truly devoted to the Human Race,” Shu Yinxing couldn’t help but sigh.
Hearing this, the White Robe Girl quickly glanced at Shu Yinxing again, but without saying a word, she quickly turned her face away and muttered to herself under her mask.
Shu Yinxing felt a little doubtful about life. Although she knew early on that the other party had a completely negative attitude towards the Demon Race, she never expected it to be to the extent that she wouldn’t even want to say more than a word.
Qin Gou rubbed his nose and said, “That’s good, cough, shall we continue?”
“It’s a bit far.”
Saying that, the White Robe Girl pointed the way, but this time, she stood between Qin Gou and Shu Yinxing.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Gou asked, confused.
“Protection,” the White Robe Girl confidently pointed at herself, then at Qin Gou.
“You protect me?”
“Yes.”
“Then you’re guarding against me.”
Shu Yinxing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I really won’t harm Fellow Daoist Qin. Look, I was taking this Heavenly Profound Stone from my Nas to give to Fellow Daoist Qin to replenish spiritual power as quickly as possible.”
“I am the Heavenly Profound Stone.”
As she spoke, the White Robe Girl directly held Qin Gou’s wrist, and Qin Gou immediately felt a large amount of pure Profound Realm power surging in.
“Fellow Daoist, you are truly an extraordinary person,” Shu Yinxing said with deep emotion.
“Actually, my consumption is not that great,” Qin Gou said truthfully.
“Do not lie,” the White Robe Girl shook her head.
“What?” Qin Gou was completely bewildered.
The White Robe Girl never let go of Qin Gou’s wrist, “You need a large amount of spiritual power and Profound Realm power.”
Qin Gou immediately examined himself internally. It turned out that the pure Profound Realm power given by the White Robe Girl was not absorbed by his Dantian, but was continuously flowing directly into his Natal Spirit Tool, ‘Bud of Taihuang’, which was in the process of advancement.
Since uniting with the Mother Tree of Asking Tao, ‘Qin Xiaoyou’, the Bud of Taihuang had entered a very quiet and slow advancement process, and there had been no movement for many days.
At this moment, the White Robe Girl’s Profound Realm power seemed to be very helpful, but the problem was that the consumption it caused her was also quite large.
Qin Gou was really worried that he might absorb too much and hurt the kind-hearted White Robe Girl, and immediately wanted to stop it.
Unexpectedly, seeing that Qin Gou was about to break free, the White Robe Girl proactively said, “Wait, it’s not over yet.”
“No, you are bearing such a large consumption, how can it be…”
“Don’t be polite. I have stored a lot over the years,” the White Robe Girl said, not minding at all.
“Isn’t this suspected of aiding the enemy?”
The White Robe Girl suddenly looked at Shu Yinxing and snorted coldly, full of vigilance.
“I didn’t mean that, damn it!” Qin Gou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
A moment later.
One had to admire the White Robe Girl’s honesty.
Qin Gou already felt that he was absorbing a bit too much, but she still remained expressionless, as if it were only a drop in the ocean, showing no intention of stopping on her own.
Just then, a crisp sound, like jade striking jade, suddenly rang in Qin Gou’s mind, and his whole aura changed.
At the same time, the System prompt also immediately sounded.
“Ding…”
Qin Gou’s eyes lit up, and he said with mixed feelings, “Thanks to my dull… my kind and devoted good fellow Daoist! The Bud of Taihuang has finally advanced to the ‘Heavenly Rank’?”
“Congratulations Host, your Natal Spirit Tool Bud of Taihuang has successfully advanced to the ‘Dao Rank’ extreme realm.”
