Gu Qing Shan didn't answer him, only crouched down and placed her hand on his chest.
He made a strange expression.
— — although there was quite a bit of blood, the dagger didn't actually go very deep.
This kind of injury is actually very easy to heal for a cultivator, and in battle, this kind of injury wouldn't be a problem at all.
But why did his soul leave his body?
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and thought for a bit, recalling the many Cultivation-type techniques that the worlds of the past taught her, one of which was a decent healing technique.
Once this technique is used, it should be able to quickly heal the other party's wound.
Gu Qing Shan formed a hand seal with both hands.
"You … clearly still have one breath left, why did your soul leave your body?" Gu Qing Shan gathered all her spirit energy and asked first.
The man's soul hovered in the air, having noticed that Gu Qing Shan was a cultivator, he clasped his fist: "Greetings, fellow Dao seeker, this is a unique technique that I created myself, able to allow my soul to leave my body before I die — — I'm not a ghost right now, but a soul that can communicate with living beings"
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "Soul leaving your body before you die? What's the main use of this technique? "
"It can make people die earlier" the man pridefully replied.
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
What's there to be proud of about dying earlier?
Wait a minute!
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized something.
If I want my soul to leave my body, I need to use [Sealed Body Yin Shift] and [Soul Comes Soul Goes] Secret Arts to enter a state of suspended animation and head to Huang Quan.
This person was able to create a similar technique, although it's still far from being a Secret Art, he can still be considered a genius.
Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist: "So fellow Dao seeker had created a technique that allows me to die earlier, what a unique and ingenious technique, this humble one is truly impressed"
Hearing her say that, the man joyfully exclaimed: "Good! Very good! I've finally met someone who knows what they're doing, unlike those old bull-noses who are so inflexible "
Gu Qing Shan's heart skipped a beat. She asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you were handsome and talented. You had a bright future ahead of you. Why did you die here?"
The man angrily said, "I was originally talented, talented and good-looking, erudite and knowledgeable, a pillar supporting the heavens …"
Gu Qing Shan interrupted him, "Fellow Daoist, 'supporting the sky' is not used to describe talent."
The man paused, muttering to himself, "'To be able to fuse the will of heaven and earth, a pillar supporting the heavens in the Southern Region' — actually, this idiom can also be used to describe a person who is able to shoulder great responsibilities, and who is able to accomplish great things."
Gu Qing Shan also pondered and said, "What you said … seems to be right. Please continue."
The man said, "I was originally a pillar supporting the heavens —"
"Fellow Daoist, please get to the point."
"Ah, very well. I was such a talented person, but because I was too outstanding, I became a nobody, attracting the jealousy of others. A tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop it, causing others to be jealous. In the end, I was framed and slandered by a bunch of nobodies, my reputation in the academy is now at rock bottom, about to be expelled. Hah, what meaning do I have left to live on? I might as well die and reincarnate as soon as possible, starting all over again "the man sighed.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Then how did those people frame you?"
As soon as this was mentioned, the man trembled in anger, shouting: "They said that I wandered around the red-light district, lusted after beauties, indulging myself in pleasure every day, not thinking of seeking Dao!"
"But you didn't actually go to that kind of place?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I did" the man answered.
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
If it wasn't for the thread of fate connecting them, he really would have turned around and left.
Seeing his expression, the man could guess what he was thinking and hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood the main point of this matter"
"What's the main point?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The main point is that they said that I didn't think of seeking Dao, that's just an empty insult to my reputation — — in truth, who doesn't know that I, Su Qing, have been cultivating diligently ever since I entered the academy, creating many spells and techniques, becoming stronger by the day, a strong contender for the upcoming Seven Academies Dao sparring" the man answered.
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, asking: "Just because someone tried to frame you, you're seeking death?"
"They've already convinced the Disciplinary Elder to call for an Academy-Wide Assembly at dawn to criticize me in front of everyone, then kick me out of the academy"
Su Qing resolutely said: "But they don't know that I'd rather die than suffer such humiliation"
Gu Qing Shan tried asking: "If a talented disciple like you were to die, wouldn't it be a loss for the academy?"
Su Qing replied: "Hmph, now that the Seven Academies Dao sparring is about to begin, if a pillar of support like me were to suddenly fall, our Kunlun Daoist Academy's strength would surely be greatly damaged — — - a perfect opportunity for the Disciplinary Elder to shoot himself in the foot, as well as to let the entire academy know that it was them who caused my death!"
Gu Qing Shan facepalmed for a few moments, unable to say a single word.
He suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Fellow Daoist Su, if you want to die, I won't stop you, but you might have something I want on you, can you open your Inventory Bag and help me take a look?"
"Something?" Su Qing doubtfully asked.
"Yes, I'm looking for something related to me, can you — — can you revive first and help me take a look?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
— — his gaze fell onto his left arm.
The black thread flew out and wrapped itself around the Inventory Bag at Su Qing's waist.
"You want me to revive first?" hearing that, Su Qing looked at Gu Qing Shan with a strange expression.
"That's right, fellow Daoist Su, I'm indeed looking for something" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"What are you looking for?" Su Qing asked.
"I need to see what you have first to know what I'm looking for" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Su Qing's expression once again showed a meaningful expression.
"What is it?" Gu Qing Shan didn't understand.
Su Qing clasped his fist: "I won't hide it from you, fellow Daoist, ever since I joined the path of Dao, I've seen people stealing things, I've also seen people robbing others, I've even seen people killing others for their treasures — — - but I've never seen someone like you who would even rob a soul, how creative, this humble one is in awe"
Gu Qing Shan's finger twitched, almost activating a sword seal.
He took a deep breath and restrained himself: "Fellow Daoist Su, I'm not robbing — —"
Su Qing raised his hand to stop him.
"Very well, you and I have never met before, we've only met by chance and had a pleasant conversation, so I'll help you" Su Qing said.
His soul formed a hand seal in the air and slowly returned to his body.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan circulated her spirit energy to release a healing technique to help him heal his wounds.
Su Qing opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, tapped his Inventory Bag and took out his things one by one.
"You want spirit stones?" Su Qing took out a handful of spirit stones and asked.
"I don't" Gu Qing Shan answered.
Su Qing was surprised and muttered: "You don't want spirit stones, could it be …"
He took out a few albums of beauties and said reluctantly: "I've been collecting them for three whole years, I'll give them all to you now"
Gu Qing Shan said: "I don't want them"
Su Qing looked at him strangely and said: "These are the most precious things I have, what exactly do you want?"
"I don't know either, please take out everything else and let me take a look" Gu Qing Shan told him honestly.
Su Qing turned the Inventory Bag upside down and shook it a bit.
Clatter clatter!
A bunch of broken things fell to the ground.
The black thread on Gu Qing Shan's arm flew out and coiled around something.
— — -it was a fragment about half the size of a finger, made from an unknown material, but its surface was glowing beautifully.
As Gu Qing Shan waved his hand, the fragment flew back into his hand.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Discovered Samsara Delimitation sword fragments]
[Attention, you need to collect all of the fragments to have a chance to reforge this sword]
Gu Qing Shan's heart calmed down.
That's right, this is it.
I came here from the great tomb of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts and finally found the first fragment of the Samsara Delimitation sword.
Only by reviving the sword can I once again suppress the great tomb and save the Tomb of Myriad Beasts from the threat of the Apocalypse.
"Fellow Dao seeker Su, where did you get this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"This thing? A few days ago, I picked it up by the stream. At the time, I thought it was a beautiful piece of jade, so I was going to look through some Smithing books to see what it was, but I've been framed for the past few days, so I've been delayed "
Gu Qing Shan said: "Fellow Dao seeker Su, this is what I'm looking for"
"Take it, I'm going to die anyways, there's no point in keeping it" Su Qing answered without hesitation.
"Thank you"
Gu Qing Shan put the sword fragment away.
At this point, the black thread on his hand disappeared like mist, then reformed into a thread again.
The black thread was pointing at the great city outside the wilderness.
— — -the next fragment should be inside the city.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Su Qing, then clasped his fist: "Then … fellow Dao seeker Su, I'll be taking my leave"
"Hm, go do what you need to do, I also need to die quickly" Su Qing replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, then turned around and left.
Behind him, Su Qing raised his dagger high up, then stabbed it towards his own chest.
Gu Qing Shan took a few steps forward, his eyes flickered, then suddenly called out:
"Stop him"
— — Clang!
A clear sound of impact.
A longsword as clear as autumn water blocked the dagger.
Su Qing asked in surprise: "Fellow Dao seeker, what are you doing?"
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a while before sighing.
He returned and looked at Su Qing.
"Fellow Dao seeker Su, what you're doing isn't enough to take revenge on those people"
"Why not?" Su Qing asked.
"Because they wanted to get rid of you in the first place, didn't they?" Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
"But if I die, it would be a great loss to the Institute" Su Qing replied.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "But a dead person wouldn't give you any benefits — — once you die, you'll lose your value. No one would go to war for a dead person, unless it's someone close to you"
"I … don't have anyone close to me, my parents all died in the previous Wraith war" Su Qing replied.
Gu Qing Shan silently sighed, then said: "That is indeed the case, if you die, you'll only die for nothing"
Su Qing appeared confused.
Gu Qing Shan took a step forward and continued: "You gave me a treasure, so I'll help you as repayment, what do you think?"
Su Qing shook her head: "Their forces are very powerful, a few of them are even young masters sent down from the heavens, so there's nothing I can do"
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
He patted Su Qing's shoulder and said: "Facing the pain of others, some people will be defeated and forever live in the painful memories; while others will use this pain to endure humiliation and finally grow into a Combatant capable of controlling their own fate"
Su Qing looked at him in surprise, then asked: "You're very good at enduring humiliation?"
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit awkward, then thought for a bit before replying:
"Reason is only reason, you don't need to use it on me — — I have a short temper, not to be trifled with, I don't hold back when I kill"
