When the old man heard what the woman said, his expression changed slightly, and he said nervously, "After all, the Big Mountain-protecting Tactical Matrix of Huajian Sect is left by that person. If it is really controlled by a tactical matrix master … it is too dangerous for you to stay here. You'd better go back …"
"Calm down, Mr. Wang."
The woman in the palace dress patted the powder in her hands and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about whether this is true or not. Even if Hua Yan really invites a tactical matrix master, she will not have the courage to open the third layer of this tactical matrix. The price … is too low for her!"
Although the old man called Mr. Wang felt it was inappropriate, he could only nod.
The woman in the palace dress held the remaining rune in her hand. After a moment of silence, she suddenly sneered, "I am determined to get the Star-stacked Tactical Matrix. If Hua Yan is sensible, I don't mind exchanging with other tactical matrices. But if she is not sensible … I, Su Zini, am not to be trifled with!"
Mr. Wang looked slightly serious and whispered, "Miss, we don't have much time. If Zhenlou Group realizes it, we … "
"I know."
Su Zini's eyes flickered, "Within a month, Star-stacked Tactical Matrix will fall into my hands. When I get the inheritance of that place with this tactical matrix … I will surpass Su Zipei soon!"
"Miss is wise!" Mr. Wang flattered, and then frowned and asked, "The girl who sent the rune is a clue. Why don't we follow the clues …"
"No!"
Su Zini rejected without hesitation, "It is a critical period now. Don't make trouble. It is not good for us to anger the tactical matrix master."
Mr. Wang felt it was very reasonable, and immediately gave up the idea of investigating Su Li.
…
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During these five days, the door of Su Li's room had never been opened. During this period, Jin Ying came to find her, but she had to leave when no one opened the door.
On the sixth day, when the first ray of light from the east shone on the wooden door, the girl in the room, who was like an old monk in meditation, finally moved slightly. She shook off the gray stone powder and opened her eyes.
At this moment, strands of black lines suddenly condensed in her eyes that were as clear as the sky, transforming into a lifelike lotus that swayed in the void for a moment before dispersing with a loud bang.
Su Li exhaled a long breath and waved her hand to set off a gust of wind, sweeping away the accumulated stone powder on the rush cushion. She looked at the dark spiritual lake in her pubic region, which had occupied 70% of the entire pubic region.
"Level Seven of Qi Disciple?"
Su Li frowned slightly and picked up the remaining seven low-grade spiritual stones on the edge of the rush cushion.
A full ninety-three low-grade spirit stones only let her advance from the fourth level of Qi Cultivating to the third level of Qi Cultivating?
Too slow!
This kind of progress was far lower than her expectation. The unexpected joy of selling two earth-based talismans at a high price also faded in her heart.
She originally thought that relying on these one hundred low-grade spirit stones, even if she couldn't recover to the first level of Foundation Establishment, it would be more than enough for her to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining.
It should be noted that a practitioner with a complete ordinary spiritual root would consume no more than 49 stones from the first hurdle of Lianqi Realm to Zhuji Realm. Even in Yuxu Sect in the previous life, with her heavenly spiritual root, she only absorbed about 110 low-grade spiritual stones to successfully break through.
But now … the change was too great!
The speed at which she absorbed low-grade spirit stones was frighteningly fast. For ordinary Aura Refining cultivators, absorbing one low-grade spirit stone a day was already their limit. However, in less than five days, she had already absorbed close to a hundred low-grade spirit stones. On average, she consumed twenty spirit stones a day.
Su Li couldn't help but be speechless. She felt that the road ahead was difficult. It took her a hundred spiritual stones to advance from the fourth level to the seventh level. She didn't know how much more it would take to advance to the third level of Qi Cultivating …
Thinking of this, Su Li spread out her palm. With a thought, a group of dark spiritual power appeared in her palm. The extremely condensed black shone like a gem in the slightly dark room.
"No wonder … The quality of the spiritual power has reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. Of course, the low-grade spiritual stones are useless. I should be able to absorb the middle-grade spiritual stones now."
Taking back the spiritual power, Su Li hesitated for a moment and injected a wisp of spiritual power into the ring of Reincarnation Mirror.
In the past, when the quality of the spiritual power was still at the level of Lianqi Realm, she had tried it, but the ring of Reincarnation Mirror did not respond at all. Now that the quality of the spiritual power had reached Zhuji Realm, she wanted to try if she could repair the mirror ring slightly, so that she could save the energy of arranging the Tactical Matrix for Camouflage.
After ten minutes, there was no movement from the mirror ring. Su Li was silent and continued quietly. With the consumption of the spiritual power in her body, her face gradually became pale.
An hour later, Su Li's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her body trembled slightly. The spiritual power in her body had been squeezed to the last drop. But at this moment, her eyes were as bright as day.
Under her gaze, there was a trace of black luster on the surface of the originally dim ring of Reincarnation Mirror. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
A faint suction came from the mirror ring. Su Li's eyes were slightly fierce. She grabbed the remaining low-grade spiritual stones with one hand, and the latter turned into powder in the blink of an eye. All the spiritual power flowed into the mirror ring through Su Li's body, and the spiritual power floating in the surrounding nothingness was directly sucked up.
"Not enough!!"
Su Li clenched her silver teeth, almost bleeding, but she was already at the end of her rope. If she continued, it would consume her foundation, which was not worth the loss.
"Do I really want to waste all my previous efforts …"
Su Li was a little unwilling, but her reason prevailed. She slowly moved her hand away from the mirror ring.
Suddenly!
The black lotus ring appeared from the ring finger. The black lotus pattern slowly rotated, and an obscure and profound secret method was transmitted into the awareness sea.
After understanding the meaning of the secret method, Su Li's eyes suddenly condensed. Without saying anything, she slapped the heart with a strange method.
The severe pain affected the nerves, and Su Li's face immediately turned pale. Then she opened her mouth and spat out a mass of bright red blood.
Blood from the heart. It would take at least half a month for her to recover after spitting out the heart blood.
"Black Lotus Ring, don't let me down."
With a gasp, Su Li pinched her fingers with difficulty and pinched a gesture with a strange shape beyond the common sense of the Human Clan.
At the moment when the gesture began, the shape of the blood mass floating in the nothingness suddenly changed, and seemed to form the outline of a word.
"Crack, crack, crack …"
The finger bones constantly made unbearable sounds, and the severe pain made Su Li faint.
But she understood that if she gave up now, it would really be a heavy loss. She had no way out.
"Crack!"
Su Li's movements were stiff, and she sweated like rain. Her little finger hung down softly. If it went on like this, she was afraid that before the gesture was completed, her ten fingers would be broken. She must speed up.
But the pain of speeding up would be increased a hundred times!
A ruthless expression flashed between her eyebrows, and her movements immediately accelerated. The continuous sound of bones cracking sounded like firecrackers. In just a few breaths, the blood mass in the nothingness turned into a word "slave" at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bright red blood suddenly turned dark, just like Su Li's black spiritual power.
With the last strength, Su Li gritted her teeth and sent the blood mass into the ring. Then, regardless of the result, she fainted on the rush cushion.
After a long time, Su Li frowned and opened her eyes. Thinking of what happened before she fainted, she woke up quickly and sat up directly. Jin Ying, who was holding the porridge bowl, was startled. Jin Ying threw the porridge bowl to the bed.
Su Li subconsciously wanted to catch it, but this movement made her ten fingers hurt so much that she almost fainted again.
Seeing that the porridge was finally spilled on the bed without burning Su Li, Jin Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly took a rag to wipe the bed and whispered, "Don't worry. I didn't tell anyone that you are hiding here. No bad guys will find it."
Su Li was stunned and didn't know why. Jin Ying had leaned over and looked at Su Li's hand distressingly. She said tearfully, "Those people went too far. They didn't allow us to practice and hurt you like this! Don't worry. When I become stronger in the future, I will definitely avenge you! "
Hearing Jin Ying's words, Su Li understood that this girl probably blamed her injury on the four maids with silver tokens.
She looked down and saw that her ten fingers were well bandaged, and the blood on her body was cleaned up. It was hard to imagine how a princess who grew up in the imperial palace learned these things.
Her psychic awareness covered her whole body, and a feeling of weakness arose spontaneously. She frowned. The spiritual power lost in the pubic region had not been replenished in time.
But when her psychic awareness flowed to her wrist, she couldn't help but smile slightly. The ring of Reincarnation Mirror had a feeling of being connected with her heart and blood.
In this life, she was no longer a puppet in the hands of Reincarnation Mirror. Even one day in the future, she could become the real owner of Reincarnation Mirror. Even if Reincarnation Mirror became a broken thing now, it still didn't hinder Su Li from being happy.
One day, she would wake up the mirror spirit. She must get back what happened in the illusion!
It was not her style not to take revenge!
When she looked up and saw Jin Ying with a worried face, Su Li's cold eyes became a little more gentle.
Indeed, Su Li never claimed to be a righteous person. For the sake of practice, she did something out of line without any psychological burden. She had always been indifferent to strangers, but once someone got her approval …
Jin Ying was only fifteen years old. It was normal for her to be afraid when she entered the sect at a young age, so she was more dependent on Su Li.
But she was in trouble and didn't want to have cause and effect with others. So, her attitude towards Jin Ying was naturally very indifferent.
But this girl, even if she was rejected by Su Li again and again, she still saved Su Li without hesitation when she saw Su Li sneaking into the room.
Maybe it couldn't be called saving, and maybe this way was stupid, but there was no doubt that she had won Su Li's favor.
She looked up at Jin Ying with a faint smile and teased, "I remember someone said that she would never talk to me, a coward."
Jin Ying's little face immediately turned red, and she stammered and retorted, "You … you must have heard it wrong. I didn't say that!"
After saying this, Jin Ying suddenly froze, and then looked at Su Li with great shock.
Su Li was stunned, and then asked with a smile, "Is there anything on my face?"
"No … no …"
Jin Ying opened her mouth slightly, and finally confirmed that what she saw in front of her was not an illusion. She said blankly, "You … you actually smiled …"
After joining the sect for so many days, she had never seen Su Li smile, let alone talk to her so gently.
