Su Yu and Yu Ke’er standing next to him changed their expressions upon hearing the news, standing astounded for a while. Su Yu changed his look again, startled, he asked: “Chen Sisi is gone? How could that be? Isn’t she in charge of guarding the base at Bai Yue Fairy City?”
Yu Qianqing mournfully replied: “Four months ago, a celestial relic was discovered in the Eight Demon Ridge. Sister Chen wished to go there in search of opportunities. After she broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, she felt a bottleneck in her cultivation. She would reap no rewards from peaceful cultivation, so she considered gaining experience from the outside world.”
“The Golden Jade Fairy Gate relic appeared just in time, and Sister Chen applied to go.”
“Who could have imagined it would end up like this.”
Su Yu appeared dazed. He hadn’t seen Chen Sisi for a while. He never saw her again after welcoming her and Yu Qianqing to Bai Yue Fairy City for a feast. And now, the next time he hears about Chen Sisi, he finds out she is gone forever.
Not everyone is suited for quiet cultivation.
Su Yu has the proficiency panel. He can quietly cultivate every day, step by step, gradually accumulating proficiency to break through his cultivation base.
But for others, it’s challenging.
Both resources and the state of mind can affect one’s cultivation.
Therefore, it was normal for Chen Sisi to want to go to the Golden Jade Fairy Gate ruins for experience and luck.
However, any practice can be dangerous.
Especially in a place like the Eight Demon Ridge where crucial events would unfold.
“What injured her?” Su Yu looked at the slightly overweight Yu Qianqing and asked.
Yu Qianqing replied: “I heard she ran into a demon practitioner, the Blood
Saber Luo Bang who snatched the incomplete supreme artifact in the Cloud Mountain market. His power is terrifying. Sister Chen was severely injured by just one of his attacks.”
“Sister Chen couldn’t make it due to the corrosion of Blood Saber Luo Bang’s demonic qi. If not for that, Sister Chen would surely have recovered.”
Blood Saber Luo Bang.
Su Yu murmured this name in his heart, remaining silent.
Yu Qianqing also spoke about Chen Sisi’s grave. According to Chen Sisi’s last wish, she was finally buried in the Su Family’s Cang Mountain Cemetery and should have been laid to rest more than half a month ago.
After a while, Yu Qianqing left.
“The cultivation world is like this. Almost every day, accidents happen everywhere, and one can face danger anywhere.” Yu Ke’er looked at the silent Su Yu, murmured a sentence softly, then asked: “Should we go back and take a look?”
Su Yu thought for a moment, then said: “Let’s do it tomorrow.”
Yu Ke’er said: “We should inform Sister Chen’s apprentice.”
Then Yu Ke’er also left Dan Pavilion. She had to arrange matters at the Yu Family base first.
The two of them had known Chen Sisi for over twenty years. A good friend has passed away, and they naturally could not stay indifferent.
At least, going back to pay their respects and see her off was the least they could do.
Su Yu looked at the Qiankun Bag that Chen Sisi had asked him to keep, feeling somewhat curious. He then unlocked the restriction and allowed his Divine Sense to enter it.
There were quite a few things inside the bag, which should all have been used by Chen Sisi in her lifetime.
There were also several hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, some elixirs, clothes, etc.
“She said she wanted to hand over the Qiankun Bag to me. So there must be something she wanted to give me inside. But what could it be?” Su Yu let his Divine Sense sweep over the Spirit Stones, elixirs, artifacts, clothes, and everything else.
Finally, at the bottom, he found a few ancient jade boxes that had been opened and resealed.
After some hesitation, Su Yu removed the restrictions on these jade boxes that carried Chen Sisi’s familiar mana aura and opened them one by one.
There were six jade boxes in total, five of which were empty.
Only one contained an ink-colored round bead, which emitted a trace of soul energy. This made Su Yu’s pupils suddenly contract: “This thing—”
He seemed to recognize it!
Underneath the round bead, there was also a letter.
Su Yu took out the letter, opened it, and a line of delicate small characters came into view.
She detailed some of her experiences in the Eight Demon Ridge and how she had stumbled upon some unexpected opportunities. It was there that she discovered the extraordinary bead.
After much thought, she decided to give it to Su Yu.
The letter ended with a request for him to look after the Chen Family.
After reading it several times, Su Yu fell silent:
The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable.
The path of immortality is equally challenging; no one dares to assert a perennial progress.
He stashed the letter carefully. As his gaze landed on the bead, which was as dark as black jade, his pupils slightly contracted. Feeling the soul power emanating from the bead, he couldn’t help but exclaim in terror, “Is this really a Puppet Soul?”
Above magic artifacts exist magical treasures, and above common talismanic charms, there also exist talismanic treasures.
In the field of puppetry, ancient cultivators had also developed a special supreme treasure known as the Puppet Soul, also known as the Soul Treasure.
This round bead should be a Puppet Soul embryonic form.
According to the teachings of “The Golden Jade Heaven Puppet Crafting Method”, Puppet Soul is the ‘magical treasure’ or ‘talismanic treasure’ within a puppet.
It can be integrated into any puppet, turning it into a puppet akin to ‘magic treasure’, and can be nurtured in the Dantian, slowly upgrading its tier and cultivating the Puppet Soul by consuming special materials.
It’s like the Life-bond Flying Sword nurtured by Sword Cultivators in the legends.
This Puppet Soul in its embryonic form, while still only an embryonic form, emitted an extraordinarily powerful divine soul aura, which made even Su Yu’s scalp tingle.
Possibly, this Puppet Soul in its embryonic form had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and maybe even the pseudo pill stage.
In the teachings, it was written that the Heaven Puppet of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate required a Puppet Soul for its crafting.
However, there was no record about how powerful this Heaven Puppet could be.
With a light frown on his brow, Su Yu started deliberating anxiously yet delightedly, “Can this Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast withstand the integration of this Puppet Soul embryonic form bead?”
Just give it a shot!
Su Yu gritted his teeth, summoned the Taoist Puppet, and to his surprise, the fusion of the Puppet Soul embryonic form bead and the Taoist Puppet was incredibly smooth.
He severed a strand of soul that was integrated into the Taoist Puppet, made it the master of the Puppet Soul, and then fused the Puppet Soul with the puppet. The combination of the Gold Cicada technique, Taoist Puppet technique, Puppet Soul, and Puppet seems to be a perfect match.
However, after the Puppet Soul was integrated, Su Yu discovered that without activating the Puppet Soul, everything was fine. But once it was activated, the power of the Puppet Soul needed to be accumulated and nurtured anew.
Other than that, under the full explosion of power from this tier Puppet Soul, the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast might be severely injured in one battle and unable to bear it.
Of course.
These two issues are not major problems.
Under the Golden Cicada technique, the speed of recovery for the Puppet Soul would greatly increase.
As for the second issue –
If the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast could be upgraded to a second-tier high-grade puppet by consuming materials, then there would be no problem.
And if it could not be upgraded in a short period of time, having the Puppet Soul, as long as it consumed materials, the Dragon Alligator Puppet Beast could still recover as before. It would not be destroyed directly, so the problem wasn’t too serious.
Ignoring all these.
The appearance of the Puppet Soul embryonic form bead provided Su Yu with an unprecedented life-saving method.
Chen Sisi had given him an irresistible opportunity and a generous gift.
Mulling it over, Su Yu gazed silently in the direction of the Yunjian Sect for a long time. He had never thought of getting involved with the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate.
But who could have imagined that he, a man all the way in Bai Yue Immortal City, could obtain a great fortune from the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate?
However, the karmic tie Chen Sisi had established for him had to be paid back..
