Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Xuanwu Ruoshui

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Flipping its lightning wings as it soared in the sky, Zong Shou could only see the mountains and rivers beneath him pulling backward.

Flying in the sky at the Night Wandering realm was a different feeling. He felt a bit more freedom and a bit less careful. However, these few people didn’t know why the skies were covered with dark clouds and lightning. It made them feel uneasy.

Not long after, he had reached that place that he sensed the spiritual vein was at. The three mystery reflecting spiritual technique could only reflect spiritual energy changes within a thousand miles. It couldn’t show the actual geography.

When Zong Shou reached that area, he realized that it was a 3 thousand foot tall mountain. The vein was hidden deep inside the mountain.

Zong Shou instantly felt a headache coming along. Luckily, this situation was within his ability. His soul, which transformed into the Phoenix, spread out and turned into a ball of smoke. Threads of pure spiritual energy escaped, a portion of which was led into the surface of the mountain and flowed downwards.

As expected that spiritual vein was attracted and moved outwards. Although it was an unpredictable and sentient thing, it didn’t have a mind and just instinctively swallowed energy to grow itself.

Zong Shou waited quietly. To avoid scaring it, he didn’t move his soul. It wasn’t until the ball of spiritual energy was being sucked away did the three-layer exquisite pagoda rise up into the air.

Instantly, a ball of light shone down. Within Zong Shou’s soul, there was soul power which formed into runes which entered the pagoda.

A serpent-like spiritual energy ball was forcefully pulled out from the mountain.

With Zong Shou injecting in soul power and with the help of the charm technique, the attractive force of the pagoda slowly increased. It was as if a tug of war entered a standstill.

He took a full 45 minutes before totally being able to pull it into the pagoda.

Zong Shou relaxed, keeping this less than a feet high five-colored small pagoda into his soul, letting his soul power carry it.

He couldn’t help but feel delighted. What a good start, and what good fortune.

The spirit absorbing pagoda he snatched from Mingjue was great.

This item was something that the spirit masters had to have and could absorb and bind spirit veins. The higher the grade was, the stronger the absorption as well. The number of spirit veins it could restrict would obviously be more.

A normal Out of Body, if they didn’t have a sect to rely on, having a grade 1 spirit absorbing pagoda was really good already. This Mingjue came out of the Demon Flag Sect and seemed to be well-liked. The pagoda he had was grade 3. Even if peak spirit masters used it wouldn’t be a loss of dignity.

However, Although Zong Shou was great at charms, his spells were really rusty and weak. Even if he had any great spiritual artifacts, they wouldn’t be able to use their powers in his hands.

“Grade 1 spirit absorbing pagoda can restrict 2 veins. Each increase in grade can increase by 1 vein. My 3 layer pagoda can restrict 4. Who knows whether or not in the future I would be so lucky to succeed at once like just now.”

Using the three mystery reflecting spiritual technique, the amount of spiritual energy used up was even higher than that of the spirit finding technique.

If he didn’t recently obtain 200 mind stones from Ye Feishaung. He also got some beast crystals from Yun Xu and Chou Ling and the others.

So in the last life, when he was really poor, every time he searched for spiritual veins, he had to try his luck everywhere. He definitely didn’t dare to invite those spirit masters to help him.

He could only do this in the later stages, when he earned a lot in the virtual world. He was really rich and directly bought a few spiritual veins that were a fit for his cultivation method and spiritual energy compatible ones in auctions.

“It is just nice midnight. After meditating and recovering, I can still use it once. I still have enough mind stones and beast crystals. I can use this 20 times. I don’t think I can find it...”

With that thought, Zong Shou transformed into a lightning Phoenix once more as he spread his wings and soared. In a blink of an eye ten thousand feet past, just like that he flew 300 miles. Then his body suddenly rooted and looked with doubt in the Southwest.

There was some energy that seemed to be roughly there. Sometimes it was dim whilst sometimes it became really strong and evident.

“There seems to be someone there? This aura looks familiar, is it that Xuanwu ancestor?”

Zong Shou made up his mind. He turned into a ball of frenzied wind and chased over. With a few flaps of the lightning wing, he arrived on top of a small hill only to see a girl, whose hair was disheveled, lying beside a stream.

On her head were a pair of fox ears and behind her back were 6 white and furry tails.

This energy came from within this girl’s body. The surrounding air suddenly shrunk and then suddenly expanded, seeming unstable. Her hair covered her face, but the portions of her hand revealed were purple-black in color. Thick blood was seeping out of her wound.

It died the entire small steam into a purple-black color, numerous fishes, shrimp corpses laid on the water surface. Their bodies actually decomposed by a large amount, leaving only their bones.

This poison flowed downriver. The flowers and trees on both sides were mostly withered. Looking out, pretty much everything was purple-black.

Beasts in the surrounding area all didn’t dare to get close. They all got 10 miles away from the area, looking on from the sides like they were really afraid and wary.

When Zong Shou’s soul descended here, they gave out a threatening roar like they were forcing him to bring this person away.

Zong Shou sighed and knew that this girl must be the one who was protecting her in secret these few months. The person that Hu Zhongyuan said to him.

No wonder this girl didn’t want to meet with him. No wonder when he battled Li Yaling, she would arrive so late and didn’t show herself to him, just hurriedly leaving.

This girl had such an intense poison and heavy injuries and was still able to barely hold on to this date.

Looking at the situation she has been unconscious for at least 3 days. If he hadn’t found her she would have died here, her body decomposing beside this stream.

“Purple black blood. What poison could be so overbearing? And also the identity of this person. Hu Zhongyuan only knew that Wei Zongran had a hidden guard protecting him that was really strong and was only weaker to the few martial ancestors in the city. Her name was called Ruo Shui. He didn’t know her past nor how she looked. He wasn’t sure whether or not it was this person, but sky fox race, 7 earth meridians, heavily injured, it would most probably be her.”

Zong Shou slightly expanded his soul power, causing a slight breeze. This pushed her hair aside. He was startled. This features of the girl’s features were great. However, her face was protruding out in purple and black spots, like there were bugs hiding underneath—looking really ugly.

With her current looks, he couldn’t tell what her real age.

He felt lost for a moment before he carried her up using soul power. Like she felt something, her eyelids moved and she woke up. Her face was ugly but her eyes were really beautiful, purple-red, really pure and bright. It was like they could touch one’s soul.

Her eyes were initially filled with wariness, but she instantly relaxed. Her consciousness had awakened for just a moment. She managed to take a look st Zong Shou before falling unconscious once more.

Zong Shou shook his head and continued to fly. He was unable to use the Pheonix form, so his speed was 10 times slower. He was also holding a person and was much slower. He took an hour before rushing to where the formation was placed.

When he arrived, Chuxue and Hu Zhongyuan were already worrying. When they looked at Zong Shou carrying that girl using soul power, they were startled.

“Sky fox race, 6 tails. Who is this girl?”

Hu Zhongyuan subconsciously swept towards her face but his brows furrowed, showing a look of disgust. He suddenly had a thought, was this girl the person out of the many Gantian Mountain experts that didn’t reveal herself?

When Zong Shou got close, his face turned ashen white, “It’s so smelly! No, it’s actually disgusting...”

He couldn’t take it, directly retreating backwards several hundred feet before the situation got better.

The next moment, even Hu Zhongyuan and the rising moon lion couldn’t sit still anymore and left.

Although Chuxue didn’t leave, she covered her nose with her hand and gave off a bitter expression.

Zong Shou didn’t feel anything, instead he was unhappy with their reactions. However, when his soul entered his body, a really smelly stench surged into his nose.

It wasn’t a pure stench but one that made the vital energy in the body boil, making one feel extremely disgusted.

One subconsciously had a thought to go far away. He really couldn’t blame them two.

He stared coldly at the 2 of them. He didn’t bother to cover his nose, suppressing the energy in his body.

Just as he was about to feel her pulse, wariness rose up in his heart.

“What a good fellow. It had unknowingly infiltrated into my soul. This poison is really strong!”

Within his soul ocean, a lighting glow exploded, fire and water energy ferociously attacked. The spiral energy was also activated. In just a short moment a drop of black liquid was forced out by Zong Shou and onto the grass beside.

In an instance 3 thousand feet of grass and trees withered, leaving a white land.

There were also threads of smoke rising up. Even a portion of the soil was corrupted.

Chuxue and Hu Zhongyuan exchanged glances, seeing worry and shock in each other’s eyes.

...Wasn’t this poison a little too overbearing! Just getting close was already a huge danger.

Zong Shou didn’t care at all, grabbing her hand. In the next moment, he sighed. As expected the poison entered her bones, it was the worst and also hard to solve the situation.

The only thing good was that the spiritual veins in her were still providing spiritual energy—her energy hadn’t stopped and was resisting. She still had a bit of life, but she was most probably going to die.

In the next instance, Zong Shou took out his lightning tooth sword and stabbed into her left chest!
