A life of clearness

Chapter 73 Su Er
Su Er walked out of the cave with a gloomy face and flew for several miles on his sword before stopping on a hillside. The mountain wind blew up his robe. Su Er coughed a few times, and a sweet and fishy feeling came from his throat.

Sure enough, he removed his hand from covering his mouth and saw a blood clot in his palm. Even though he had recovered from the serious injury a few days ago, there was still a strange force in his chest that kept attacking him. "Although I haven't fallen back to a lower realm because of this, but..." Su Er thought, "If there is no elixir to completely heal my poor blood circulation, let alone improve my cultivation, I'm afraid that I will soon be like my mother, and my cultivation will fall all the way to the first level of Qi training."

Su Xing'er's situation is even worse, because she has to take care of Su Tianbao. Not to mention the drop in her cultivation level, it is even a question whether she can maintain her Dantian foundation.

"Mother only cares about my elder brother." Su Er had a deep impression of this incident since he was a child. Whenever he thought about it, he could not help but feel resentful. "She didn't care about my serious injury at all. Now she wants me to go out alone to rob and kill... Even if I get some spirit stones, in the end, she won't leave even one for me. She will give them all to my good elder brother." The more Su Er thought about it, the angrier he got. "He is just a useless person. No matter what I do, in mother's eyes, it can't compare to a word from my elder brother."

Su Er sneered repeatedly. "Just hang in there. Big brother, you won't live long."

After Su Er calmed down, he looked around the hill. His memories of the terrain and surrounding forces emerged one by one. He was used to robbing and killing people. He was particular about where to rob and kill and who to kill. Therefore, in the past few decades, the only real failure was the one with Rong Qing.

Su Er, whose strength was greatly reduced, became even more cautious. Without Su Xing'er's cooperation, he didn't dare to attack the foundation-building cultivator. He just hoped that there would be some cultivators in the early stage of Qi training who could pass by here, and it would be best if the number of people did not exceed three.

"There are two small sects nearby, and their leaders are only at the beginning of the Jindan stage. However, the two sects are of similar strength, and they often send disciples to visit each other and exchange resources. It would be great if there are Qi training disciples left alone..." Although Su Er thought so in his heart, he knew that if he really had to wait like this, he didn't know how long he would have to wait. Opportunities are created by oneself. "If I encounter a group of people, I can also use a little trick to disperse them..."

At this moment, a white figure fell from the sky.

Su Er lowered his head alertly, with just the right amount of respect on his face.

Although far away, he could see clearly that the person coming was not flying a sword, which meant that the other party was at least a senior who had reached the Jindan stage. At this time, one must be extremely respectful, even if the other party was just passing by.

But he never expected that the white figure did not leave, but landed directly in front of him. Looking at the corner of the other party's robe getting closer and closer, Su Er was suddenly startled.

"I didn't know you were coming, but if you have any instructions, I will do my best to fulfill them."

"Oh?" The visitor asked in a playful tone, "Any request is fine?"

This voice... is too familiar! Su Er's heart is already in turmoil.

Run away! ! As soon as this thought came to his mind, the next moment, the powerful pressure from the Golden Core Perfection firmly suppressed him in place.

Su Er raised his head uncontrollably and met Rong Qing's eyes.

It was indeed her! Su Er had no chance this time. When the other party was still in the foundation building stage, they had already fallen into a big trap on her and fled out of the city with their family. This time, this woman not only found him, but even became a Jindan Zhenren.

"Please, Master, spare my worthless life." Su Er reacted very quickly and immediately began to beg for mercy. The middle-aged man with a handsome appearance before now had a pleading face. "All the resources we have obtained in these years can be given to Master. Twenty medium-grade spirit stones, five hundred low-grade spirit stones, and a few magic tools. Of course, they are a drop in the bucket for Master, but these are my little token of my appreciation." Su Er kept apologizing with a smile, "I only ask Master to forgive my unintentional behavior. At that time, it was Su Tianbao who instigated me and my mother to do these unjust things."

Just as Su Er was about to go on about Su Tianbao's abominable behavior and clear him and Su Xing'er of all charges, Rong Qing interrupted him impatiently.

"I didn't kill you right away. As you thought, I had a reason for sparing your life."

"Yes, yes." Su Er nodded quickly. "Master, just give me your orders."

"I want the painting that can perform illusions."

Su Er immediately took out the scroll from his storage bag, held it up with both hands respectfully, and handed it to Rong Qing.

Rong Qing just pulled the scroll open a little and was able to confirm that it was the one containing the illusion.

"Also, I want to know how to perform Su Xing'er's pupil technique in its entirety."

“This…” Su Er’s eyes flickered, “My mother only passed on the complete method of performing pupil skills to my eldest brother.”

Rong Qing suddenly snorted coldly, and slammed heavily into Su Er's sea of ​​consciousness, "The pupil technique was naturally obtained from Su Xing'er, and it has nothing to do with who she passed it on to." She smiled a little bit maliciously. "I just want to get the complete pupil technique, no matter what method. It doesn't matter what method you use... or," Rong Qing raised an eyebrow, "I can dig out Su Xing'er's eyes and study them carefully, and it will still work."

Su Er's face turned pale, and he said quickly, "Reply to the Immortal, I will definitely find a complete method for you to perform and practice this pupil technique. As for digging out the eyes, this is something that cannot be studied out." Rong Qing laughed when he heard it, "Okay, since you said so, I'll leave it to you. I'll come to find you in three days. If you can't hand it over, I'll have to kill you and Su Xing'er. As for your eldest brother, it doesn't matter whether he is killed or not in a few days, right?"

Su Er broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He felt that all his secret thoughts were seen through by the other party. How could this woman change so much? How did A Niang think that she was weak and could be bullied? She was completely wrong...

Rong Qing released her grip on Su Er and watched him fly away on his sword.

Rong Qing did this because she had some calculations in mind. The key to what she wanted was the pupil technique. Whether other people died or not had nothing to do with her goal.

"If I use Su Tianbao to threaten Su Xing'er directly, I'm afraid that woman will do a lot of tricks. I haven't practiced pupil skills. If I don't see the fallacy and cause my practice to go wrong, it will be a loss. Choosing Su Er is to open a gap in their group. As for whether Su Er will pretend to obey me but secretly disobey me..." Rong Qing thought for a while, "He is already afraid of me in his heart, he dare not. And he is also thinking of taking this opportunity to get rid of his eldest brother who makes him jealous."

She summoned the starling. At this moment, it was about the level of a human cultivator in the Qi training stage, but its intelligence was not high.

It jumped on Rong Qing's arm, calling "Rong Rong, Rong Rong".

"Let you go for a spin?" Rong Qing nodded its head. It was too restrictive to keep it in a cage all day. After Rong Qing passed the forbidden enslavement, it was found that it could indeed strengthen itself by passively absorbing the spiritual energy transmitted by Rong Qing, which proved that Chu Yuan's words about its ability to practice were true.

She carved several restrictions on the bird to protect it, and then let it go, following Su Er's whereabouts. Although it was the starling that was tracking, it was actually Rong Qing who focused a bit of her mind on it, following Su Er's whereabouts.

As for Rong Qing herself, she had already decided on her plan for Baishi Temple. So, she did not stay, but turned around and flew in another direction.

After squeezing out the last bit of spiritual power in her dantian, Su Xing'er finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

After receiving so much spiritual power, Su Tianbao finally felt better. Seeing Su Xing'er, who looked tired, he sighed deeply.

"Mom!" The restriction outside the cave was opened, and Su Er rushed in.

He was shocked when he saw Su Xing'er who had fainted. Then he looked at Su Tianbao, "Brother, this time we hit a wall." Su Er shook his head helplessly and coughed a few times but couldn't stop. Under Su Tianbao's worried gaze, he coughed louder and louder until a mouthful of thick blood spurted out.

"Fortunately, my mother hasn't woken up yet, otherwise she would be angry and disappointed again." Su Er said sadly. As he spoke, he stepped forward to take Su Tianbao's wrist and transferred spiritual power to it.

"Erbao, don't blame mother. She still has you in her heart." Su Tianbao said bitterly, "It's just that she can't get over it because of the past. After I die, you will be her only relative. Take good care of her for me. Without my burden, her cultivation will not decline again and again."

Su Er lowered his eyes to hide the disdain in his eyes, and said softly, "Brother, why do you say that? We are a family, and without any of us, it is not a family. But now I am seriously injured, I am afraid that the robbery and murder will become more and more difficult."

Su Tianbao wanted to say that he should stop robbing and killing people, but he also knew that Su Xing'er was stubborn, so he could only say, "Don't be too impatient, Erbao, wait until you are sure before you make a move. Your safety is far more important than those spirit stones."

"Brother, you don't have to comfort me anymore." Su Er shook his head slowly, his eyes dim. "Now the continent seems lively and harmonious, but there are all kinds of people in the dark. If it weren't for my mother's pupil technique, it wouldn't have been so easy to get away from the tough guy we met last time. I don't have the pupil technique to rely on, and if things don't go well, I won't even have a chance to turn things around. Even escaping is at the mercy of fate."

Su Er's complaint actually reminded Su Tianbao.

He said quickly, "It's time for mom to teach you pupil skills. This way you will be safer when you are out doing things."

"Brother, don't mention such things," Su Er snorted, "If mother wanted to teach me, she would have taught me long ago. Why should I bring it up and let mother scold me."

The resentment in Su Er's words made Su Tianbao feel bitter. Even if Su Tianbao himself was unwilling to admit it, he could feel how different Su Xing'er's attitudes were towards her two sons. Even though Su Tianbao usually called Su Er "Erbao", in the names Su Xing'er gave him, one was called Tianbao and the other was called Su Er.

"Erbao, don't worry about the pupil technique. Mom doesn't want to teach you, so I'll help you." Su Tianbao made up his mind, so he stretched out his other hand and patted Su Er's shoulder, "You've input enough spiritual energy today, you should go and heal your wounds."

"Got it." Su Er curled his lips, loosened his wrist, and walked to the side to sit cross-legged in meditation. His eyes were closed tightly, hiding the ecstasy in his heart.
