Chapter 496: The Soul is Restricted, the Life Is Not Controlled by Others (Please subscribe)

“How much late-stage Jindan essence do you want?” Gong Shulan withdrew her gaze and began to negotiate the price with Wei Tu.

“Five late-stage Jindan essence, or one early-stage Nascent Soul essence.”

Weitu thought for a moment and came up with a higher but reasonable price.

 Gong Shulan, like him, is a ruthless person who worked his way up from the bottom of Danqiu Mountain. He is not a fool and will not let him take advantage of him in transactions.

So, instead of having the lion open his mouth and let him repeatedly counteroffer, it is better to directly state a price that everyone can accept and successfully complete the transaction.

“Five golden elixir late-stage essences…”

Gong Shulan pondered deeply, with a tangled look on his face.

Two or three late-stage golden elixir essences could be easily obtained with her savings, but five would be too much unless she went to Hu Shan to borrow some.

It was just today's transaction. She didn't want Hushan or her master Scorpio Ancestor to know about it, so this path was not feasible.

Although she has the essence of the early Nascent Soul in her hand, it is a means of protection given to her by the Scorpion Ancestor and cannot be used easily.

Hearing this, Wei Tu declined politely.

But this may not be the case for the second transaction.

"Equivalent spiritual objects?" Wei Tu's eyes flashed slightly, but he did not agree immediately. He paused and asked tentatively: "I wonder if Miss Gong can bring out the "Spirit-Absorbing Talisman" and "Spirit-Transforming Talisman" from your sect? The legal transaction of making a big talisman?”

Gong Shulan took the initiative to take a step back.

“Of course, I can also give you a late-stage golden elixir essence as a deposit.”

“Fellow Daoist Wei, I only have three late-stage Jindan souls, so there are no more.”

As for the spirit-transforming talisman that activates the power of spirit...

It is still effective against Golden Elixir monks, but it is somewhat difficult to deal with Nascent Soul monks.

The Soul-Retaining Talisman in his hand is just a simplified version made by trying to figure out the Soul-Retaining Talisman of the Kuling Sect.

In the Demonic Path and the Juling Sect, the souls of monks and monsters are far less scarce and precious than in the Righteous Path.

Gong Shulan said in a consultative tone.

If he could obtain the original "Ling-Juling Talisman" making method of the Juling Sect, then he could capture the Nascent Soul monk and, like the Juling Sect, completely ban him to prevent his Nascent Soul from releasing itself.

It is called an equivalent spiritual object, but in fact, it is a loss to her, a monk from the Juling Sect.

So, if you can trade in one transaction, it is best to succeed in the transaction in one transaction.

"If you can trust me, how about waiting for a while and asking you to do business again?"

This transaction was taken by him on his own initiative and he was well prepared, so the risk was not high.

Do you think you can trust it?

Gong Shulan raised her eyebrows slightly. With her intelligence, how could she not hear the hidden meaning of Wei Tu's words.

There are too many uncertainties.

"Wei can trust Miss Gong. However, Wei has urgent matters to attend to in the near future and does not have time to continue trading with Miss Gong."

She added.

“In this way, how about I supplement the other two late-stage golden elixir souls with spiritual objects of equivalent value?”

This thing, given his attainments in talismans, has not yet been imitated, which shows how profound this talisman is.

"This is impossible!" Gong Shulan refused directly, leaving no room for discussion with Wei Tu.

As if she felt her tone was too strong, after Gong Shulan finished speaking, she opened her mouth to explain:

"These two great talismans are the foundation of the Juling Sect. Even if we, the disciples, want to pass them on, we dare not pass them on."

“Don’t dare to spread it?”

Wei Tu heard these three words correctly.

He didn't think that demons like Gong Shulan could be frightened by the mere rules of the sect.

Since he doesn’t dare to spread it, there is definitely a reason why he doesn’t dare to spread it.

This reason is very likely to threaten the lives of Gong Shulan and other Juling sect disciples.

“Is it some kind of soul restriction?”

Wei Tu recalled the scene where the soul of Luqiu Jinyuan's clone instantly self-destructed when he searched for its soul.

This is not a random thought on his part.

In the magic sect, it is almost routine to use special secret techniques to control lower-level disciples.

The Juling Sect is also a demonic evil sect. This sect is far more evil than ordinary demonic sects.

In other words, it is almost impossible for Gong Shulan and other members of the Juling Sect to escape the fate of being restrained by their souls planted by the Scorpion Ancestor.

From this it follows that—

Leaking to outsiders the making methods of the two talismans, the "Spirit-Absorbing Talisman" and the "Spirit-Transforming Talisman", should be one of the triggering conditions for the soul restriction in Gong Shulan's body.

That's why Gong Shulan had such a big reaction when she heard him mention these two methods of making talismans.

"Is it difficult for the palace girl's ghost body to solve this consequence?" Wei Tu frowned and asked.

When he said this, it was not that he was worried about Gong Shulan's safety, but that these two talisman-making methods would be of great use to him in the future, and he did not want to lose this source.

“The ghost body has one soul and two souls, it does not have two souls.” Gong Shulan shook her head and said with a slightly helpless tone. "However, my master's final day is coming soon. In another three hundred years, I will be free from this problem."

“At that time, Fellow Daoist Wei can also come to me and trade these two talisman-making methods.”

Gong Shulan smiled and her starry eyes flashed, as if she was full of expectations for the future.

But Wei Tu is not optimistic about it.

He had previously discussed with the Red Dragon Ancestor and the Scorpion Ancestor, and knew that this person had the "Soul-Swallowing Wood" in his hand. He had successfully extended his life several times and had become a miracle of longevity in the Da Cang Cultivation World and the God Transformation Realm.

However, he and Gong Shulan were not good enough to tell such secrets, so they casually said a few words and skipped the topic.

“Since these two methods of making talismans are not feasible, then I wonder if Miss Gong’s Nascent Soul puppet can be traded?”

Wei Tu groaned and asked.

Although human puppets are taboo on the right path and are not as useful as ordinary puppets, their value is not low and they are most suitable for exploring dangerous places.

One hundred and sixty years later, he will not be absent from the secret realm of Zunwang Palace. It is also a good thing to prepare for a rainy day and exchange for one or two Nascent Soul puppets.

“I have a few Nascent Soul puppets, but I don’t know if Fellow Daoist Wei dares to use them.”

Gong Shulan raised her hand, and a six-foot-tall black wooden coffin appeared behind her.

Wei Tu swept his consciousness and saw that the names, realms, and powers of the people in the coffins were engraved on the coffin lids of the six black wooden coffins.

【Tai Xuanmen: Xu Xinhua, early Yuanying period】

【Beast Control Sect: Huyanpeng, Yuanying Middle Stage】

【Cangqiongcheng: Master of the Emperor Tian Sword, Mid-stage Yuanying】

【…】

Seeing this, Wei Tu secretly took a deep breath, wondering how many tombs of the Yuan Ying sect Xindao Gong Shulan had dug up, and how many Yuan Ying sect ancestors he had found.

If the names on these coffins were leaked to the outside world, I am afraid that Gong Shulan would immediately be besieged by all the righteous factions.

“Since Mr. Wei dares to ask the palace girl to ask for the Nascent Soul human puppet transaction, he is not afraid of such threats.”

Wei Tu looked calm, waved his hand, and took away the coffin named "Emperor Tian Sword Master".

Seeing this scene, Gong Shulan nodded slightly, and took out three demon cultivating essences from the late Golden Elixir stage, and exchanged the money and goods with Wei Tu.

Next.

Wei Tu then asked about Qi Chengchu’s current situation.

“If we don’t get rid of this beast, Wei will feel uneasy.” Wei Tu said with a cold expression on his face.

Back then, in front of the Stone Demon Tower, although Qi Chengchu had a benevolent heart, he deceived Hu Shan and others and took the opportunity to let Che Gongwei and Su Bing'er go.

But this kindness is not enough to eliminate his sin.

In the world of immortality, there is no such thing as letting the devil put down his butcher knife and forgetting about it.

After all, if it weren't for this beast, he wouldn't have been coerced into the Taixu realm and almost escaped death.

"Qi Chengchu..." Mentioning Qi Chengchu, Gong Shulan was silent for a while. After all, she had also tricked Wei Tu once before like Qi Chengchu.

If it hadn't been for her, Geng Wen and others would not have suspected that the Gong family's treasure might have been with Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou back then.

However, after the silence, Gong Shulan still regarded Wei Tu as a friend and told the relevant information about Qi Chengchu.

“A hundred years ago, Qi Chengchu and Brother Hushan were stopped by Master Jiuli at the exit of Master Shentu’s underground palace…”

"At that time, in order to protect himself, Qi Chengchu was forced to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation in advance. But unfortunately, the Heavenly Tribulation fell and he failed to overcome it, completely losing the chance of Nascent Soul."

“However, my master noticed that his talent in the Formation Path was astonishing, so he transplanted the “Five Elements Infant” into his body to help him become an infant from a different path.”

“The Five Elements Infant is the most important treasure of our Juling Sect. Although it is difficult for Qi Chengchu to exert the strength of this infant, after transplanting this infant, he will have strength that is not weaker than the mid-stage Nascent Soul.”

"If possible, I would like to advise fellow Taoist Wei to put down this hatred. After all, Qi Chengchu is not a cultivator on the right path, and his lifespan is only two hundred years at most."

“In two hundred years, he will die of old age.”

Gong Shulan said slowly.

“Two hundred years…”

Hearing this, Wei Tu didn’t know how to view the matter. After all, two hundred years is not a long time for Yuan Ying ancestors like him.

 And his hatred towards Qi Chengchu did not seem to be to the extent that he had to retaliate.

"I hope that the palace lady will tell Wei the specific location of Qi Chengchu." After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu still bowed his hands and said these words.

He is not a man blinded by hatred.

However, if given the opportunity, he would not let go of the possibility of avenging this hatred.

Although the Immortal Way does not pay attention to the killing of martial arts and the pleasure of revenge, if you can find a clear idea, it will be a good thing for your own cultivation.

“Fellow Daoist Wei, can’t you wait even two hundred years?” Gong Shulan couldn’t help but persuade.

She didn’t think that in just two hundred years, with Wei Tu’s qualifications, he would be able to break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and avenge his past.
