Chapter 207 Goddess?
Yu Huang decided to tell Lin Jiansheng about Su Tingxue’s existence. “Mentor, the remnant soul hidden in my Spiritual Abode is actually Su Tingxue.”
Lin Jiansheng was shocked. “Purifying Spirit Grand Master Su Tingxue?”
“It’s her.”
Lin Jiansheng was astonished and said subconsciously, “Didn’t Su Tingxue die a long time ago? Why is she still alive?”
“Senior Su has indeed died long ago, but her remnant soul has always been attached to her remains and had fused with the Purifying Spirit Sacred Pearl. Last year, when I was refining the Purifying Spirit Sacred Pearl, Senior Su’s remnant soul took the opportunity to hide in my Spiritual Abode.”
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s explanation, Lin Jiansheng’s expression became even more solemn.
“Foolish!”
Glaring fiercely at Yu Huang, Lin Jiansheng said angrily, “Su Tingxue is such a heaven-defying person. She is the founder of the Spirit Restraining Parasite. Six hundred years ago, she single-handedly caused the Su family of Kui Mountain to fall! You actually dared to let her stay in your Spiritual Abode. Should I call you stupid or naive?”
Yu Huang also knew that this was very risky, but Su Tingxue had saved her life. Yu Huang had also promised Su Tingxue that she would find a way to revive her. She could not go back on her words.
“Mentor, when I was in the abyss, I almost died in the hands of a level-six mutated demon beast. At the critical moment, it was Senior Su who used the last bit of his ability to help me kill that demon beast. In exchange, I swore on my soul that I would do everything I could to resurrect Senior Su.”
“Soul oath?” When Lin Jiansheng heard this, his face turned livid with anger. “This woman has ulterior motives! We must capture her!” With that, Lin Jiansheng placed his left hand on Yu Huang’s shoulder. His powerful psychic energy pressed down on Yu Huang’s body. Yu Huang was unable to move and instantly lost control of her body.
IO
Lin Jiansheng’s right index finger tapped on Yu Huang’s glabella. A wisp of faint silver-colored psychic energy entered Yu Huang’s body and headed straight for her Spiritual Abode.
Sensing Lin Jiansheng’s intrusion, Yu Huang did not dare to resist and quickly closed her eyes obediently. Lin Jiansheng and Yu Huang had a blood pact, so he easily entered Yu Huang’s Spiritual Abode world. Su Tingxue had been in a deep sleep for a year and absorbed another Spirit Gathering Grass. Her phantom image was much more solid than a year ago.
The moment Lin Jiansheng entered Yu Huang’s body, he discovered Su Tingxue.
Su Tingxue floated above Yu Huang’s spiritual sea. She was dressed in a gray, long-sleeved robe. Her white hair reached her waist and her chin was slightly lowered, making it impossible to see her face clearly.
She just stood there quietly without saying a word. She also had an extraordinary aura. Lin Jiansheng looked at the illusory figure in the distance. Seeing that the other party’s aura was imposing, he sneered and cursed in disdain. “An old monster who has been dead for more than 600 years is putting on airs. How dare a weak remnant soul act like a big bad wolf in front of me?!”
No matter how strong Su Tingxue was, that was before she died. The woman in front of him was only a soul that had survived for more than 600 years. Lin Jiansheng did not even take her seriously.
At the thought of the threat that this woman posed to his disciple, Lin Jiansheng was enraged and had the intention to destroy her.
Lin Jiansheng gathered his willpower and a long whip formed from his willpower appeared in his hand. The Psychic Soul Lock Whip could lock all living souls in the world.
Lin Jiansheng raised the Psychic Soul Lock Whip and flung it at the remnant soul in the void before capturing it easily without much effort.
Su Tingxue had long realized how powerful Lin Jiansheng was, so she gave up struggling against him.
She did not believe that Lin Jiansheng would kill her.
After all, she had a deal with Yu Huang. Once she died, Yu Huang’s soul would dissipate.
The Psychic Soul Lock Whip caught Su Tingxue, and Lin Jiansheng gently pulled her in front of him.
The two of them were very close to each other. Lin Jiansheng stretched out his right index finger and thumb and pinched Su Tingxue’s chin. He said, “You old witch, how dare you exploit my disciple!”
Raising Su Tingxue’s chin and forcing her to look up at him, Lin Jiansheng continued, “Why don’t you ask around and see if my disciple is easy to bully?”
As Lin Jiansheng spoke, Su Tingxue was forced to raise her head. The white hair covering her face fell to the sides, revealing a cold and stunning face.
“I, Lin Jiansheng, hate people who bully my people the most. You old demon…” Upon seeing the appearance of the woman in front of him, Lin Jiansheng, who had been chattering non-stop just now, suddenly turned mute.
He looked at Su Tingxue’s face in shock and murmured in disbelief, “Goddess… Goddess…”
Su Tingxue did not hear Lin Jiansheng’s murmur. She said weakly, “I didn’t want to harm her. I just want to revive.”
Upon hearing that hoarse voice, Lin Jiansheng finally came back to his senses. He stared at Su Tingxue in bewilderment for a long while before regaining his composure.
“No matter what your intentions are, I won’t let you stay in my disciple’s Spiritual Abode.” Su Tingxue was like a time bomb. Lin Jiansheng would never allow her to stay in Yu Huang’s body.
Su Tingxue couldn’t beat Lin Jiansheng, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be at his mercy.
Lin Jiansheng suddenly said, “You can follow me from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Su Tingxue opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Lin Jiansheng in astonishment. “Follow you?”
Lin Jiansheng said, “I’m a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master. My soul energy is much stronger than my disciple’s. You need to be nourished by a soul. Wouldn’t it be more useful if you follow me?”
That was true, but Su Tingxue could not understand Lin Jiansheng’s motive.
They were neither relatives nor friends. He had been so eager to get rid of her earlier. How did things change so quickly? Su Tingxue couldn’t be bothered to think about it.
She said, “Don’t worry, I won’t take the body of an innocent person. If you two can help me revive, I won’t mistreat you two.”
“We’ll see…”
Lin Jiansheng left Yu Huang’s Spiritual Abode with Su Tingxue.
Yu Huang opened her eyes and saw that her master had stored that faint gray remnant soul into his Spiritual Abode world. Yu Huang frowned and asked, “Mentor, you placed Senior Su in your Spiritual Abode. Aren’t you afraid that she will snatch it from you?”
“She doesn’t have the capability.” Lin Jiansheng’s attitude was arrogant when he said that.
Yu Huang knew that Lin Jiansheng took the risk and did this all because of her. She felt even more touched. “Mentor, thank you.”
“What are you thanking me for?” Lin Jiansheng said. “Take out that red elm tree root and let me take a look.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang hurriedly took out the roots of the red elm tree.
In order to preserve the freshness of the tree’s roots, Yu Huang stored it in a preservation bottle. She took out the red elm tree. The black tree root was still covered in soil, and when the she smelled the tree root, there was a rich fruity fragrance.
Lin Jiansheng said, “Find a large potted plant and plant it.”
“Sure.”
Yu Huang opened the door to Lin Jiansheng’s resting room and walked out. She saw that there was a potted plant every few meters in the corridor outside the room. She casually carried the potted plant back into the room and uprooted the plant inside. She then renovated the soil before planting the red elm tree inside.
Lin Jiansheng told her, “The red elm tree is a spiritual tree. Ordinary soil cannot make it grow and germinate. You have to mix your blood in the soil and use your psychic power to help it grow.”
Yu Huang clicked her tongue and said, “How fussy. When raising a child, feeding it with milk will make it full. When raising a tree, you need to release blood. How high maintenance.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng couldn’t help but laugh. “Raising a child is much more troublesome than planting a spirit tree. The spirit tree doesn’t throw a tantrum and cry.”
“That’s true.”
Yu Huang sat down cross-legged on the carpet, took out a dagger, and cut her palm.
As the bright red blood dripped into the soil, the red elm tree sensed the smell of blood and immediately extended its tentacles to take root in the soil before greedily absorbing all the blood in the soil.
“Keep doing it.”
Yu Huang complied.
It was only when her entire body lost too much blood and her body temperature became abnormal that the elm tree root felt satisfied and stopped absorbing.
Lin Jiansheng walked behind Yu Huang and sat down. He transferred his psychic power into her body to help her recuperate. After an hour, Yu Huang’s body temperature returned to normal.
Lin Jiansheng gave her a red-colored elixir. He didn’t tell her what it was, and out of trust, Yu Huang didn’t ask further.
Seeing Yu Huang swallow the pill, Lin Jiansheng said, “This is a Blood Replenishing Pill extracted and refined from the blood of demonic beasts. After you eat it, it can quickly replenish your blood.”
“Thank you, Mentor.”
Lin Jiansheng waved his hand and pointed at the potted plant. “Every three days, you have to feed the red elm tree’s roots with blood once. Every morning at noon, you have to use your spiritual power to purify the red elm tree’s roots’ spirit. After half a month, the red elm tree’s roots will sprout. This process is very troublesome, but the spiritual trees have tempers. You can only follow the rules.” “… I understand.”
“Yes. Stay by my side for the next half a month. When the red elm tree sprouts, you can report back to school. Take this opportunity to cultivate your Purifying Spirit Art.”
“Alright!”
Following that, Yu Huang sat cross-legged in the living room. She calmed down and started cleansing the red elm tree’s spirit.
Lin Jiansheng had a foreign remnant soul in his mind. He still had many things to do. Lin Jiansheng returned to his bedroom, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Lin Jiansheng entered the Spiritual Abode and retracted the Soul Locking Whip that was tied to Su Tingxue.
Su Tingxue collapsed weakly in Lin Jiansheng’s sea of consciousness. After being bound by the Soul Locking Whip for a moment, Su Tingxue’s figure seemed to have faded a little.
Lin Jiansheng walked over and struck something that resembled a Sanskrit bell on her body. There were many Sanskrit characters on the bell, and an endless stream of soul force was being released from the Sanskrit characters and automatically entered Su Tingxue’s body.
Su Tingxue stared at the Sanskrit bell, which had trapped her, and said softly, “Soul-Subduing Bell…” Su Tingxue turned to look at Lin Jiansheng and said in surprise,” You’re a rank 9 Purifying Spirit Master.”
Only a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master could create the Soul-Subduing Bell.
The Soul-Subduing Bell was a kind of spiritual converter. It could repair the soul of a person whose soul was injured. Therefore, Lin Jiansheng had used this Soul-Subduing Bell not to suppress Su Tingxue, but to nourish her soul.
This person was too kind.
