Chapter 23: Soul-Soothing Pill
Chapter 23: Soul-Soothing Pill
Knowing that this matter involved the other party's secrets, Luo Huanxi quickly changed the subject.
"That's not true. Young Master Wei's mishap was caused by my distraction. Besides the illness, Young Master Wei, I have another question."
"Miss Luo, please speak freely."
"I wonder if Young Master Wei's martial arts cultivation method shares the same origin as that of Wu Dingbang, the grandmaster of martial arts in Haozhou, Central Plains?"
After asking the question, Luo Huanxi immediately added, "When the vast fortune of heaven and earth bestows upon a person, there is absolutely no way to send them back except through death. I have only heard that Grandmasters of Martial Arts possess such a method."
Wei Wuxian nodded slightly: "They can be considered to have the same origin."
"Then what about the relationship between Young Master Wei and Grandmaster Wu..." Luo Huanxi probed.
Wei Wuxian shook his head: "I'm sorry, Miss Luo."
"I was being presumptuous."
Luo Huanxi appeared apologetic, but her heart was once again in turmoil.
Wei Wuxian himself was already a hidden dragon in the abyss, but over the years he had secretly made contact with the number one martial artist in Haozhou, the Central Plains!
It's obvious that their relationship is more than just ordinary!
And the spying she had just vaguely sensed, which could even alert the Dao Discussion Platform, must be from a powerful being at least at the tenth or eleventh realm.
Such a figure would be a renowned sect leader anywhere in the world.
Yet, this very person immediately turned his attention to Wei Wuxian because of a single mishap during his cultivation.
Not to mention the missing soul and spirit, what else is Wei Wuxian hiding?
Are these things related to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion?
The more Luo Huanxi pondered, the more she felt that beneath the calm surface of the Great Wei Dynasty lay countless surging undercurrents.
She's only a sixth-level Qi cultivator; she's probably not even good enough to fill someone's teeth.
At this moment, she no longer cared about the harmony between her friend Wei Yunyi and her husband. Luo Huanxi was thinking that perhaps she should latch onto Wei Wuxian's coattails, or at least build a good relationship with him.
This is a hidden dragon who appears to have a saintly father standing behind him on the surface, but is secretly watched by several powerful figures!
Just as she was thinking this, Wei Wuxian looked over.
"Miss Luo is from Haozhou in the Central Plains? I wonder which sage she is a disciple of?" Wei Wuxian asked curiously. "Being able to easily explain the background of a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, Miss Luo's sect must be extraordinary."
"I am from Qingyunque in Haozhou, Central Plains. My master is Zixiao Yuanjun. A year ago, I came to Dawei Dao Academy for exchange on the orders of my sect."
"So she's a fairy from Qingyun Palace."
Wei Wuxian feigned surprise at first, then chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Then I, the third young master of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, seem rather inadequate in front of Fairy Luo."
Zixiao Yuanjun was Luo Huanxi's teacher's wife in her previous life.
"You flatter me. The National Preceptor is renowned throughout the land, and my master speaks of him with the utmost respect."
Luo Huanxi, dressed as a man, finally smiled slightly like a girl, then took out a bottle of pills and handed it over.
"Young Master Wei, I have a bottle of pills here called Soul-Soothing Pills, which may alleviate your symptoms."
"I've heard that Zixiao Yuanjun is unparalleled in the world for her thunder magic, but I never imagined she also had some knowledge of the divine soul?" Wei Wuxian reached out and took it, surprised.
Luo Huanxi hesitated for a moment: "It's not my master, I obtained it by chance during my travels."
Wei Wuxian was secretly shocked. In this short period of time, Luo Huanxi had already embarked on the path of Soul Path cultivation?!
What exactly did the person who placed the card on Luo Huanxi want her to do?
"Fairy Luo is truly blessed. The realm of the soul has always been mysterious, let alone this elixir that aids the soul."
Before the Second War Against Heaven, the concept of reincarnation did not exist in the world.
Almost all powerful cultivators are troubled by the same problem.
Lifespan.
When it comes to lifespan, there are two aspects: physical lifespan and soul lifespan. All cultivation methods cultivate this mortal body. The true spirit is locked within the flesh and blood, so the body can remain youthful and enduring. Once the soul perishes, even if the body is immortal, it cannot escape the fate of death.
After the second war against the heavens, the underworld returned to the human world, and only then did the cycle of reincarnation begin, giving cultivators the opportunity to come into contact with the path of the divine soul.
Just like the 360 questions, these are things that are usually presented to players in the later stages of the game.
After a slight pause, Wei Wuxian lowered his voice and said, "Fairy Luo, there is something I'm not sure if I should say."
"Please speak."
Wei Wuxian gestured to the pill in his hand: "It would be best if Fairy Luo did not easily show this pill and other spiritual items related to the soul, even to her closest relatives."
Luo Huanxi's heart skipped a beat.
Unlike the Great Wei, in other places, embarking on the path of cultivation basically means severing ties with the secular world, and the only people one can be considered close to are one's master or sect.
The closest one is one's own master.
What did Wei Wuxian mean by saying that?
Could it be that the other party also knows that Zixiao Yuanjun intends to change the foundation of the Great Dao?
It should be noted that she was only able to see through her master's wife's schemes after being brought to her door by that immortal lord in her reincarnation.
Who exactly is Wei Wuxian?
Suppressing her shock, Luo Huanxi forced a smile and said, "I understand the principle of keeping one's treasures hidden. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Wei. I've already troubled you repeatedly, but today I've distracted you and caused you to stumble in your cultivation. I'm truly sorry. Although elixirs for the soul and spirit are precious, I have more faith in Young Master Wei's character."
When Luo Huanxi spoke about his character, his tone became slightly more forceful.
Wei Wuxian understood the goodwill she was showing. Luo Huanxi knew one of her secrets, so she took the initiative to reveal one of her own secrets.
He smiled and nodded.
Luo Huanxi was wary of his backing, but he was just as wary of Luo Huanxi's backing. He deliberately revealed the news that the other party was being plotted against by Zixiao Yuanjun in order to get closer to Luo Huanxi.
Now that his goal has been achieved, his words have become even more sincere.
"I will remember both of your kindnesses today, and I consider Miss Luo my friend. In this Great Wei, if there is anything I can do to help you, Miss Luo, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Okay." Luo Huanxi replied with a satisfied smile.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Luo Huanxi got up to say goodbye and leave.
Once the room returned to silence, Wei Wuxian looked at the pill in his hand and began to ponder.
Such a drastic change in the plot could only have been caused by Bei Hanyue and Feng Qingling.
Because of the relationship between him and the two of them, he left them gifts.
It's highly likely that Bei Hanyue or Feng Qingling are behind Luo Huanxi.
What are they planning to do behind the scenes?
Although she raised them all, games are not the same as reality, not to mention the way he raised them, it always felt like they would turn into BOSS.
The future looks very worrying.
But as long as his identity isn't exposed, it's fine. What he fears more is that Bei Hanyue and Feng Qingling will each plot their own schemes and stand on opposite sides.
Whether he shows up or not at that time.
Who will they help after they show themselves?
These are all questions that have no answers, so let the future Wei Wuxian worry about them.
Wei Wuxian, free from distractions, poured out a pill from the bottle of medicine given to him by Luo Huanxi and swallowed it.
Sitting cross-legged in meditation, although he couldn't see into his sea of consciousness, he could still feel the elixir entering his body, transforming into a warm current that slowly nourished his soul.
Half an incense stick later.
Wei Wuxian opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them!
After fully digesting the Soul-Soothing Pill, he indeed experienced some differences...
