After Zhan Yingluo failed in her attempt to steal the soul and blood, she resorted to refining the spirits of the Cheng family members and transforming them into her own bodies, a method that was almost like evil cultivation, to ensure that she would get the soul and blood 100%.
But despite all her calculations, she still failed by one step in the end.
"I didn't feel wronged for losing to Jindan Zhenren. But it doesn't matter if you know how to break the barrier. Cheng Qingjia's seven spirits have been refined by me and merged with my primordial spirit. You can't even think of getting his soul blood!"
Zhan Yingluo gradually regained her composure. "Anyway, you are not a member of the Cheng family, you are just a guest official. What the Cheng family can give you, I can give you more.
As long as you let me live, I am willing to cooperate. I will absorb Cheng Qingjia's residual soul, break the barrier, and the treasure inside will belong to you, how about it? "
Xu Chunniang sneered in her heart, Zhan Yingluo really would do anything to achieve her goal.
Unfortunately, she is not that kind of person. Treasures are good, but they are just external things after all. She has her own persistence.
She waved her hand, sealed Zhan Yingluo again, and began to think hard about a solution.
The drop of soul blood that Cheng Shangling gave her was used up. Even if it wasn't used up, it would probably not be enough to break the barrier.
It is not an easy task to separate the souls that are blended together.
If you are not careful, your spirit may be damaged at best, or your soul may be destroyed at worst.
Perhaps we should leave this secret place first, and then find a way to separate Cheng Qingjia's seven souls from Zhan Yingluo's soul.
As for the barrier here, it would be a pity to miss it.
But strictly speaking, this barrier was originally set up by the ancestors of the Cheng family. Without the soul and blood of the Cheng family, if she forcibly breaks it, everything inside will be destroyed.
The remaining soul of Cheng Qingjia floated over, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
When the two of them were talking just now, they did not avoid him.
He knew that there was a precious treasure inside the barrier, which was left by his Cheng family's ancestors, and that his soul and blood were necessary to break the barrier.
"Why don't I try and see if I can condense soul blood with the power of three souls?"
"Not right. Without the seven spirits, your soul is not complete. I'm afraid you won't be able to condense soul blood."
Cheng Qingjia remained silent, but secretly began to condense his thoughts. Perhaps he would succeed
His residual soul began to fade away, and then began to tremble slightly.
Xu Chunniang noticed his actions and tried to stop him, but her consciousness passed through the almost intangible remnant soul.
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
"It has already begun, and I can't stop. Don't worry, it's just a drop of soul blood, I won't die. I also want to see the treasure that the ancestor once possessed."
Cheng Qingjia's residual soul continued to tremble, and actually condensed into a drop of colorless soul blood.
Xu Chunniang disagreed with his approach. Without the seven souls, Cheng Qingjia's soul could only be considered a remnant soul.
Can the soul blood condensed with the power of the residual soul really break the barrier
After condensing the soul and blood, Cheng Qingjia's remaining soul became extremely weak, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
His remaining soul was quite excited, and he carefully dragged his soul and blood above the barrier.
The moment the colorless soul blood lightly touched the barrier, ripples appeared like water dropping into a lake.
"It's possible! The power of the barrier seems to be declining."
Xu Chunniang looked at him carefully for a while, but her expression was solemn.
While the soul blood is dissolving the barrier, it is also being consumed rapidly. At this rate, even if the soul blood is completely consumed, it will not be enough to open the barrier.
Cheng Qingjia obviously also noticed this change. A struggle flashed through his mind, but then he made a decision without hesitation and prepared to continue refining his soul blood.
However, before he could move again, a barrier fell on him, both confining him and protecting him.
"Friend Cheng, what do you want to do now?"
Cheng Qingjia's remaining soul revealed a trace of seriousness as he pleaded.
"I am already half dead, my soul has no one to rely on, just like a tree without roots, my soul power will eventually run out. I might as well use my last bit of strength to break this barrier.
After the barrier is broken, the treasures inside will be yours, but if possible, please help me collect my ancestors' belongings and send them back to the Cheng family."
Xu Chunniang looked at the soul and blood above the barrier being exhausted and the ripples gradually disappearing, her expression unmoved.
"Things are mortal, are they worth risking your life for? If you don't want to take over someone else's body, maybe you can find a way to cultivate as a ghost and return to the path of immortality."
"Fellow Daoist Xu said it lightly, but there are very few methods of ghost cultivation. How can I find it easily..."
Before Cheng Qingjia could finish his words, several "bang bang" sounds suddenly came from inside the barrier.
It was as if something was trying to break the barrier from the inside.
Xu Chunniang's face changed slightly. She took hold of Cheng Qingjia's residual soul, dodged and retreated several feet away, staring intently at the barrier behind her that was moving strangely.
The remaining soul of Cheng Qingjia also felt a little nervous. This barrier was the burial place of his ancestors. How could such a strange change happen out of the blue
“Bang, bang!”
Under this kind of impact, the barrier finally couldn't bear it and broke.
At the same time, a cold and powerful aura undoubtedly invaded the entire cave, bringing with it a chilling chill.
Xu Chunniang shuddered all over and her body began to shake uncontrollably.
She subconsciously looked at the residual soul of Cheng Qingjia in her hand, but found that he was safe and sound, and was not affected by the coldness at all.
But at this moment, this cold breath hit her fiercely.
It was so fast that it arrived almost instantly.
Xu Chunniang was hit before she even had time to defend herself, and her body flew backwards.
The cold air hit her and rolled slightly, sweeping away Cheng Qingjia's soul, and forced towards Xu Chunniang on the ground again.
“No, don’t!”
Cheng Qingjia subconsciously emitted a strong spiritual fluctuation, and his remaining soul was shaking continuously.
Xu Chunniang felt the cold chill that was coming towards her, but the cold breath suddenly stopped when it was about to hit her.
The cold air slowly condensed into a ghostly shadow in the air, and then, a sluggish, slightly feminine voice sounded unpleasantly.
"She hurt your life, why do you want to protect her?"
Cheng Qingjia's remaining soul breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the ghost did not attack again.
When this cold aura first appeared, he felt the familiar aura on it, guessed that it might be related to his ancestors, and recognized his identity as a member of the Cheng family.
And its subsequent protective behavior towards him also confirmed his guess.
Hearing this voice, Cheng Qingjia's remaining soul said without hesitation, "She didn't hurt me. Someone else hurt me. If she hadn't saved me, I would have been dead by now."
The ghost was a little surprised, "Oh? So that's how it is. I almost hurt you by mistake. I'm sorry."
Xu Chunniang touched her nose and felt speechless. It was really an unexpected disaster.
Fortunately, she was not seriously injured. The Meteorite Heart Flame moved as she wished, and after a circle in her body, it dissolved the cold and damp air in her chest.
She looked at the ghost with some curiosity. Wasn't it said that the ancestor of the Cheng family had died a thousand years ago? Then what exactly was this ghost
