Chapter 217 Mirage
At this moment, Su Luo and the others are dealing with the advice of the crowd.
Finally, Su Luo sighed and replied helplessly, "I don't want to bring it either, but the Soul-Devouring Beast really likes it, so I can't help it! Sigh~ I'll still have to rely on the Soul-Devouring Beast for the rest of the journey, and even though I'm its master, I don't dare to make it angry."
Upon hearing this, everyone around was taken aback, and then they understood.
Yes! Although Su Luo is the master of the Soul-Devouring Beast, this kind of lifeless monster doesn't necessarily listen to her completely. If you really anger it, even if it doesn't dare to kill its master, it can still throw a tantrum!
Although the vengeful spirits and puppet army in the oasis have been eliminated, quite a few vengeful spirits still managed to escape. If they encounter those vengeful spirits again after leaving the oasis, and the Soul-Devouring Beast throws a tantrum at Su Luo and refuses to help, then they will truly be in a difficult situation!
Su Luo could tell that Qin Zheng and the others genuinely cared about them, so she didn't want to keep them worrying. Therefore, she changed the subject and said, "But don't worry, the Soul-Devouring Beast only likes things for a few days. Once it doesn't like them anymore, I'll immediately find a place to destroy those red flowers!"
Of course, this is a lie.
Chu Wenqing and the other two exchanged glances and then repeatedly assured each other, but their expressions were somewhat unnatural.
They fabricated this lie to get those Netherworld Flowers, and not only did these people completely believe it, they even cared about them so much! Even someone as thick-skinned as Chu Wenqing felt a pang of conscience...
Hearing their assurances, Qin Zheng finally felt a little relieved. "That's good. Please be careful, and feel free to contact me if you encounter any difficulties later."
After saying this, Qin Zheng handed a communication stone and a square magic weapon to Su Luo.
"This is a communication stone that can be used to contact me. Also, this magical artifact can be used for teleportation. If you encounter danger and are really unable to defeat it, you can use this to make an emergency evacuation. You helped us a lot in defeating so many vengeful spirits and puppets this time. This is a token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Su Luo was extremely surprised; she truly hadn't expected Qin Zheng to thank them.
She quickly refused, but Qin Zheng's attitude was very firm, and Shen Anzhi and the other disciples of the Fengying Sect also told them to accept it.
However, as if by a chain reaction, Bai Jinyan and Gu Changhuai also took out their magic treasures and gave them to Su Luo and the others as a token of their gratitude, and the disciples behind them also asked them to accept them.
"Fellow Daoist Su, please accept this! It's all our way of expressing our gratitude!"
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for your help, we would have suffered even greater losses!"
"Yes! You were the ones who notified us in advance and went to such great lengths! We are very grateful to you!"
Please accept this!
Su Luo was extremely helpless. She turned to look at Feng Xiyue and the others. Seeing them nod at her, she took the things from Qin Zheng and the others and said, "Then I will accept them. Thank you all for your kindness. I will definitely treat you to a feast when we leave the secret realm."
"no problem."
Qin Zheng nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her usually icy face, like a beautiful flower blooming on ice, making one momentarily lost in thought.
Even Bai Jinyan and Gu Changhuai softened their expressions considerably. Among the people of the Lingxiao Sect, Su Luo was the most adept at interpersonal relationships.
Thinking of this, Bai Jinyan glanced at Feng Xiyue without making a sound.
This Feng Xiyue, as the senior sister, is even less socially adept than Su Luo! They're childhood friends, and they haven't seen each other in ages, yet she never takes the initiative to contact him!
Feng Xiyue was feeling uneasy at the moment, so she didn't notice Bai Jinyan's gaze.
Therefore, Bai Jinyan could only sulk in frustration.
The numerous interactions Su Luo had with the people of the three sects besides Tianyi Sect during their time in the secret realm had greatly improved her opinion of them. Furthermore, their concern for them and the many gifts they had given as a token of gratitude made it difficult for Su Luo, no matter how hard-hearted, to simply give without receiving anything in return.
So she thought for a moment, and before everyone left, she took out a handful of talismans from her storage bag and stuffed them into the hands of the three of them, giving each of them a large handful.
"It's only right to reciprocate. Since you've given me such nice things, I'll give you something in return. These are all hand-drawn; they're not valuable, but they're still useful. I hope you won't find them offensive."
"Hand-drawn?"
Qin Zheng and the other two were stunned for a moment. They looked down and their eyes widened when they saw the large handful of talismans in their hands.
The surrounding disciples all fell silent.
Swiftness Talisman, Hemostasis Talisman, Spiritual Healing Talisman...
So many dazzling talismans, each one of them incredibly valuable in the cultivation world, were thrown over by Su Luo like trash, with her saying they were worthless and not to be disgusted?!
This isn't worth anything? Then what is?!
How could they possibly look down on it?!
In an instant, everyone looked at Su Luo with respect and amazement.
This guy is definitely a talisman master! He can just casually toss out a bunch of talismans, that's incredibly extravagant!
Qin Zheng's first reaction was to refuse.
Su Luo didn't give them time to refuse, saying, "Anyway, I've already given the things away. If you don't want them, just give them to the disciples below." After saying that, she grabbed Lin Ji and ran towards the Soul-Devouring Beast.
Chu Wenqing and the other two also took off running, afraid that they would be caught up at any moment.
Qin Zheng and the other two sighed helplessly, but ultimately decided to accept the talismans and distribute them to each disciple.
The disciples who received the talismans were all beaming with joy.
Meanwhile, the disciples of Tianyi Sect stared wide-eyed in disbelief as they distributed the talismans, then one by one regretted it and slapped their thighs.
If they hadn't stopped Senior Brother Ye from going over there, would they have gotten a share of those talismans?!
They could see clearly that even a single Swift Travel Talisman among those talismans was worth several hundred taels of mid-grade spirit stones!
Ye Danqing's expression was not good at the moment.
It wasn't that he regretted not getting those talismans, but rather that he simply couldn't understand how Su Luo, a self-taught talisman cultivator who had only recently entered the profession, could draw so many powerful talismans, even surpassing Qin Xiu, his direct disciple!
Could it be that Su Luo is truly a peerless genius in talisman cultivation?
Was the reason she wasn't outstanding or powerful in the past simply because she chose the wrong path of cultivation?
Not only Ye Danqing thought so, but Qin Zheng and the other two also quickly realized this. Looking at the many mid-level talismans they still had, their gazes toward Su Luo became even more solemn.
Through their interactions over this period of time, they had to admit one thing: Su Luo was even more powerful than any other young talisman cultivator they knew!
Putting everything else aside, Su Luo's terrifying talisman-drawing ability is absolutely top-notch among the young talisman cultivators in the Spirit Realm!
Qin Xiu, the direct disciple of Tianyi Sect and a talisman cultivation genius in the eyes of everyone in the Spirit Realm, is completely inferior to Su Xi!
Thinking of this, the three couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the Tianyi Sect, and then chuckled to themselves.
The Tianyi Sect must be kicking themselves for forcing away such a powerful talisman cultivation genius!
Soon, the Soul-Devouring Beast had finished picking all the Netherworld Flowers.
The very next second after it finished picking all the ghost flowers, the bones instantly turned into powder and drifted into the air with the wind, followed by strange phenomena in the sky.
In the distance, over a barren area, dark clouds had gathered, obscuring the sun. Scattered purple lightning bolts could be seen flashing back and forth among the dark clouds.
On that desolate land, countless black and white figures roared and fought in the terrifying weather. The white-clothed ones were cultivators wearing fitted Taoist robes, while the black-clothed ones were demon soldiers wearing armor!
It's obvious that there's great danger ahead!
Su Luo instantly felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, and pulled the Soul-Devouring Beast back.
Lin Xu stepped forward and blocked Su Luo's path, silently reaching for the demonic sword he had hidden in his heart.
Chu Wenqing and the other two immediately picked up their weapons.
A commotion arose behind them, and everyone who had seen it was now rushing towards them with weapons in hand.
"what is this?"
"Enemy attack!"
"How can there be demons?!"
Upon arriving, no one moved immediately; they were all tense, staring into the distance as if facing a formidable enemy.
After watching for a while, someone suddenly noticed something was wrong. "Huh? That's strange. The people over there seem to be unable to see us?"
"besides……"
Someone looked up at the sky above their own side, then at the view ahead, and frowned. "The sun is shining brightly here, the weather is different from over there..."
Just then, Su Luo took a deep breath and uttered a few words softly, "This is... a mirage!"
Chu Wenqing and Ning Wanshuang's expressions changed instantly.
The others looked completely bewildered.
A mirage?
what is that?
