Chapter 412 Sound Reasonable?

Half a day later, Black Lotus explained in detail, and Su Li finally figured out the use of soul stones.

Since soul stones were bred by the soul power, the efficacy was naturally related with the soul.

Either the soul of a treasure like Black Lotus or that of a ghost practitioner was extremely difficult to recover, if it was obliterated. Soul stones were the exact magic treasure to get it recovered!

In addition, soul stones could also enhance the power of understanding and speed up the cultivation progress of soul secret method.

Long long ago, when Ghost Clan was thriving, a special palace was established by soul stones in their base camp, which was used as a reward to clan members for healing and enlightenment. That was once the mecca for every Ghost Clan member.

And now, there was no such a place after the extinction of Ghost Clan.

Su Li blinked after hearing that and inquired, “You mentioned that Human Clan and Ghost Clan are basically humanoid beings, so can soul stones possibly restore a soul of the Human Clan?”

Su Li looked at Black Lotus Ring and expected a fierce refutation coming from inside, but there was just silence.

After a good while, Black Lotus’s slightly gloomy voice sounded.

“You’re right. They are basically the same, and Human Clan can use it, but… they don’t know how.”

“Why?”

“Nonsense! Since Ghost Clan was exterminated, how could Human Clan get the secret method to refine soul stones? Refining in a wrong way would bring death!”

Black Lotus became annoyed, as if recalling some not so good memories.

Seeing this, Su Li stopped pushing him and continued to search for soul stones.

The soul stone she found in the size of a fingernail was not enough to practice the secret soul practicing method, the Soul Tactics, which she obtained by chance.

“I was concerned about the sluggish practice progress of the Soul Tactics, and was unable to comprehend it. Besides, it takes time to absorb the secret of the cave, so I was unable to take care of it. The soul stones just come at the perfect time.”

Making up her mind, Su Li searched more and more thoroughly. She dug every piece of land 100 cm deep in the cave, and ignored no trace.

The secret place where the Life Rings were stored was not small, so she searched slowly only with her bare eyes. Besides, everything had to be kept in secret, so Su Li has no other way to accelerate it.

It took Su Li a full month in this place to finish the search.

During this period, she left only once to send Su Yuanhai and others to “visit” Ni Sect and returned to continue.

Those who stayed behind at the Su Family’s camp received this news and took for granted that the head of their family went to seize the spoils, while the headmasters of the other sects escaped had announced their retreat. It appeared to be odd for those of Su Family, but no one gave a thought to it, because they knew their head of the family had subjugated Ni Sect.

“It’s the 3,656th piece!”

Looking at the last grain-sized piece of soul stone Su Li gouged from the mud, she sighed slightly, “Too little…”

The number of three thousand sounded much, but each piece of soul stones were so small that all the soul stones are just in the size of a palm.

“Stop sighing. From the amount of broken porcelain fragments you collected, I can tell the broken Life Rings here were no more than 10,000. It will be a miracle to form a palm-sized soul stone. What else do you wish?!”

Black Lotus wasn’t in a good mood, “I haven’t seen a soul stone after the extinction of Ghost Clan. How could you be so fortunate?”

“No one dies in the Reincarnation Mirror, and it will be absurd if you can see a single soul stone there.”

Su Li refuted. Black Lotus was so annoyed to lose his breath.

Damn. He found that Su Li became ruder and ruder to him since she got the Divine Thunder of Water.

No!

When had this girl ever been polite to him?

Black Lotus thought aggrievedly and this almost brought him cry.

What did he get himself into?

Who the heck was the big guy living for over 10,000 years?

It was so hard for him to wake up, and then he met such a scheming master, what a…

“Qi Xianqing, you’d better be alive! Otherwise, how could I get my revenge?”

Black Lotus said in mind with hatred, staring at the fragments in Su Li’s hands greedily.

“Master, how about we cut a deal?”

Su Li made a fake smile and glanced at the mini phantom that almost came out of the ring, “What deal?”

Seeing that his plan would be in play, Black Lotus suddenly became very enthusiastic,

“Master, think about it. I, Black Lotus, may not be the first in the list of ancient treasures, but I absolutely am one of the top three!”

“If I get recovered quickly enough, you, my master, with my assistance, will achieve a new level and shoot the Realm of Immortals. By then, there is no need to worry about the resources to practice!”

Su Li raised her eyebrows, thinking.

Black Lotus still had no idea that he might have spilled the beans, and continued blathering, “If I had not remind you, my master, you must have missed the soul stones. If you are generous enough to share me a half … no, a quarter of the soul stones, I can give you a precious swordsmanship from a Body Refining School that I keep to myself till now. Once you master it, you will be very powerful to kill anyone in front of you…”

Until that moment, Black Lotus finally noticed Su Li’s uncommon gaze, and lost his confidence. His voice got lowered until nothing could be heard.

He tried to recall his words before, and didn’t find anything inappropriate.

The good thing was that he didn’t need to think about it.

“One of the top three?”

Su Li supported her chin with one hand, staring at Black Lotus Ring. That made Black Lotus’s blood freeze, if he had blood.

“How come I never notice it at all?”

“Since my rebirth, you seemed to provide me nothing but common knowledge of ancient cultivation times plus a faked version of Suiyu Tactics.”

“I broke through to the eighteenth hurdle of Lianqi Realm with my own serendipity. You just talked and what role does that play?”

“You didn’t present the cultivation methods in your hands to your master, but hide it from me. Now at such a critical moment, you want to exchange the methods with the practice resources!”

“This time it’s a swordsmanship, next time it will be a boxing or sabreplay?”

“I have always been wondering that you have been bragging your status and treating the Reincarnation Mirror like dirt. I always thought that it was your ego or self-glorification. Now…I do realize…”

Black Lotus looked at Su Li confusedly, and was totally lost.

“Who am I?”

“Where am I??”

“I just wanted some soul stones to restore my spiritual body. How did I become a selfish, shameless and despicable person?”

“What’s wrong with this little girl?”

In the ring, Black Lotus slapped himself twice, cursing.

At the same time, Black Lotus could not help but thinking.

“Why did I find that her arguments made sense?”

“I was probably selfish. With so many secret practicing methods or fighting methods in my head, I offered nothing but just All Spirits Tactics as a tribute.

Even the complete version of the Secret Records of Black Lotus was found by Su Li herself.

“Hiss… I was going too far.”

Black Lotus pondered and was hesitate to give that swordsmanship to Su Li directly without asking for the soul stones. Giving it to her might calm her down?

Su Li saw Black Lotus Ring became silent, and showed a smile. In a stream of light, she left the valley. Before that, she crumbled this secluded site, for she did not leave a loose end.

“If the first level of the Soul Tactics is exactly what I’ve comprehended, the matter with the Su Family will be much easier…”

Su Li levitated in the sky and disappeared while muttering to herself.

Before her disappearance, the Reincarnation Mirror Ring at her waist swung slightly, revealing a small beast phantom.

If Su Li had noticed it, she would have found that a beast was staring at Black Lotus Ring with schadenfreude.

“Blockhead, you are the Supreme Ghost Lotus, and ranked thirty positions higher than me in the list of ancient supreme treasures. You are coaxed in this way, bah! What a shame for our supreme treasures!”

With its deep eyes, the small beast turned to look at Su Li who was oblivious. A strange sense emerged in its eyes. Was it yearning or… fear? No one could tell.

“That band of people forcibly created the daughter of destiny, who was able to reincarnate and reborn. Was the cause… If she ever found the truth, Qingshui Circle would get into much trouble, tsk…”

…

Su Li naturally had no idea that the mirror spirit of the Reincarnation Mirror was attached to the mirror frame and it had awakened. After returning to Ni Sect, she did not go to check Su Yuanhai and others who were “well taken care of”, but directly went to the forbidden area behind the mountain for retreat.

Black Lotus was somewhat depressed after being reprimanded… To make up for Su Li, though he thought that he didn’t owe to her, he simply presented Su Li a secret soul-refining method.

In the adytum, Su Li placed a fragment in the middle of a lamp, and her nail carefully scratched the edge of the lamp, emitting a harsh noise by the friction and, at the same time, transmitting a special frequency.

The soul stone fragment lying quietly on the lamp began to tremble immediately, and burst out sparks. Soon white fire sprang up from its surface.

The adytum was filled with white smoke, and Su Li immediately sensed that the quiet soul became active and the thinking speed was abruptly accelerated. Questions in her mind could suddenly be answered in tens of different directions.

“The effect was immediate, and my mind was getting much more active.”

Su Li looked at the flame jumping on the lamp, and put a pile of fragments next to the soul stone for burning. Then, she slowly closed her eyes and the secret method from the triangular copper coin, the Soul Tactics came to her mind.

Black Lotus sighed in greed when he saw the scene.

“Why wasn’t I much kinder to this girl before? I am too ashamed to steal the stones now.”

The mirror spirit was lying in the space of the Reincarnation Mirror and taking a nap. It opened its eyes and muttered “Dummkopf!” It was not as wanton as before.

In the environment filled with soul stones, Su Li’s soul became very sensitive. It would be a final end if the mirror spirit was broken into pieces.

“Ah-choo!”

Black Lotus suddenly sneezed and he wondered, “Who is cursing me? Those who knew me should have been dead for a very long time.”

“You’ve been dead for a very long time, so have your whole family!”

Despite the danger of being discovered, the mirror spirit let loose a torrent of abuse in the space.

Before it finished the curse, it suddenly realized and sighed, “The Ghost Clan was schemed so miserably, and its members die together. the ghost lotus family really all died, tsk …”

Black Lotus sneezed again and felt ominous, “There can’t be someone still alive like me, right? What a misery! I had dreamt to be the dominator after ten thousand years. Geezer Bai, you didn’t keep your words!”
