A life of clearness

Chapter 78 Take care of yourself
Rong Qing took a step forward leisurely, just in time to block the murderous look that Su Xing'er was giving Su Er.

"Fellow Daoist Su?"

Su Xing'er, who was named, then withdrew her gaze and looked at Rong Qing.

"...It's not that the pupil technique cannot be given to a real person. But after giving it to a real person, it's hard to say whether the lives of my mother and I can be preserved." Su Xing'er snorted coldly.

She is a monk who makes a living by robbing and killing. She doesn't even believe her own promises. How can she dare to believe the casual words of others?

"You have no choice but to trust me." Rong Qing smiled.

Now, almost every one of the three members of the Su family, mother and son, knew how to perform this pupil technique. Of course, the most complete one must be in Su Xing'er's place.

Su Xing'er pursed her lips, having already lost her usual composure.

Because Su Tianbao is here!

In the past, she would always protect Su Tianbao firmly on the other side of the yard. The people she chose to rob and kill were only at the foundation-building stage at best.

But now, she was facing a Jindan cultivator, and Su Tianbao was also in Rong Qing's hands. She was at the mercy of others. No matter how she looked at it, Su Xing'er had no chance of winning.

"How about this." Rong Qing touched his chin. "I don't like fighting and killing easily, and I won't use torture. But you still have to keep your promise that I will let you go if you give me the pupil technique. Why don't you take turns recording the pupil technique into the jade slip, and then I will let you go."

She took out a blank jade slip from her storage bag, turned around and threw it to Su Er.

"You go first." Rong Qing ordered calmly, "Record all the pupil techniques you know. I have given you many chances, this is the last one."

Su Er only felt his spiritual consciousness suddenly loosen. Even though his body was still imprisoned and unable to move, he could use his spiritual consciousness without any hindrance.

He didn't care about anything else as his spiritual consciousness suddenly rushed into the blank jade slip and quickly engraved the key points of the pupil techniques he had learned in the past few days into it.

Rong Qing said this was his last chance. Su Er could tell that this was no joke!
The first time, he tried to kill Rong Qing but failed and was about to be killed by Rong Qing. Fortunately, Su Xing'er stopped him for a moment and he was able to escape.

The second time, Rong Qing asked him to perform the Pupil-stealing Technique and did not place any slavery restrictions on him.

The third time was his last gamble. He pretended to offer his pupil technique, but actually placed an illusion inside it...

Again and again! If Rong Qing didn't want to obtain the complete pupil technique, she wouldn't let it go again and again.

At this time, she couldn't help but think of the soul-searching technique. If she knew the soul-searching technique, why would she have to go through so much trouble? However, firstly, this technique had long been extinct and was only a rumor. Secondly, this technique was too cruel and was no different from murder...

"I'm not sure what technique I'll major in. In the future, I'll have to search for secret techniques to strengthen myself. Do I have to kill people every time if I want secret techniques..." Rong Qing thought, "Maybe I can temporarily look for illusion techniques as a substitute."

Rong Qing didn't care too much about the magic that Su Er put in the jade slip. Because it was a one-time magic stored in the jade slip. It was unknown which of their robberies and killings they had gained. Regardless of whether Rong Qing cracked it or not, the magic would dissipate once it was activated.

The reason why she takes pupil skills seriously is that it can be learned, and this is the most important thing.

Su Er tried his best to squeeze out his memory and recorded every bit of information about the pupil technique. The material of this jade slip was very good, and it was still a long way from being overloaded and shattered.

It's a long story, but the process of engraving the jade slip only took two or three breaths. Su Er checked it once before retracting his spiritual consciousness, and said flatteringly, "I have already engraved all the essentials of the pupil technique." Then he said seriously, "I dare not hold back even a little bit!!"

Rong Qing didn't waste any words, raised her hand to take the jade slip, and pressed it directly on her forehead. Her powerful spiritual consciousness swept into it, and she read it all in one breath.

Su Xing'er noticed a conspicuous smile on Rong Qing's lips and thought to herself that something was wrong.

"You know the situation very well." Rong Qing's mind moved, and the word "trapped" that imprisoned Su Er suddenly dissipated. "Of course I keep my word. You can leave now."

Su Er's eyes showed surprise, and he got up carefully from the ground. "Thank you for sparing my life, Immortal. I still have some spiritual stones here, all of which I will give to you, Immortal. Hehe." He left his storage bag behind, and ran out of the cave without looking back.

He fled for dozens of miles before he dared to stop and looked back tremblingly.

There was no movement behind him.

Su Er's face was pale and his hair was messy. Rong Qing only trapped them but didn't hurt them at all. But even so, he was still scared when he met Rong Qing's eyes.

"This is the Jindan cultivator." Su Er seemed to be happy and sad. Under the pressure of life and death, he instinctively fled. This time, looking at the dense forest in the distance, Su Er didn't know who he hoped would come out, or if no one would come out!
"Mom, you are too biased." Su Er murmured to himself, "You forced me to do this."

Rong Qing, who was in the cave, put the jade slip into the storage bag and took out another blank jade slip. The quality was the same and could record a lot of content.

"Who will go first this time?" Rong Qing asked the mother and son lying on the ground. "Su Er must know the least. If the content I see is not new, then the person who recorded it must have concealed something. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."

Rong Qing laid her plan out in the open.

She could roughly guess the situation within this family, but she couldn't be sure how complete the pupil technique was.

The mother and son looked at each other emotionally, and were unwilling to abandon the other. Therefore, without knowing how many pupil techniques Su Er had recorded, they could only record as much as possible to avoid missing some of the content due to the calculation error later.

If Su Tianbao recorded it first, he would definitely record everything he knew. When it was Su Xing'er's turn, she could only record everything she knew.

If Su Xing'er went first, if she wanted to cheat, without knowing whether Su Er had recorded everything, the places she deliberately missed would be discovered by Rong Qing. Doing so would ensure that Su Tianbao could leave after recording everything, but she couldn't imagine what would happen if Su Tianbao was left alone outside.

So Su Tianbao sighed and spoke first. "Master, I'd like to go first."

"Okay." Rong Qing handed the jade slip to him and at the same time removed the restrictions on his body.

Su Tianbao was weak and his face was covered with wrinkles. Although he was tall, he was like a candle in the wind, and the robe he wore looked light and fluttering.

He is Su Xing'er's son, but judging from his appearance, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Su Xing'er's great-grandfather.

Rong Qing was not curious about the past of the mother and son. She watched calmly as Su Tianbao used his spiritual power to record his memories in the jade slip.

In Su Tianbao's state, the recording process was much slower than Su Er's...

He suddenly groaned and looked painful.

"I will tell you all the essence of the pupil technique!" Seeing her beloved son in pain, Su Xing'er was obviously more painful, "I haven't had time to tell him everything. He doesn't know much." Tears flowed from her eyes. Even without the pupil technique, people who saw it could feel the sorrow hidden in it. "Master, I beg you. Xing'er knows she was wrong. Xing'er was really wrong..."

"Shut up." Rong Qing just glanced at him, "It's not your turn yet."

Su Tianbao, who was about to collapse, suddenly felt a tiny wisp of spiritual energy entering his meridians, and instantly turned into a river flowing freely in his meridians. This spiritual energy was extremely pure, and he was refreshed.

With Rong Qing's support, Su Tianbao finally completed it. When he took the jade slip off his forehead, his eyelids drooped heavily, covering his cloudy eyes.

After Rong Qing's spiritual consciousness read it, she placed the third blank jade slip in front of Su Xing'er. The girl-like mother no longer had the energy to make any plans at this time, and resigned herself to pouring everything she knew into the jade slip. This process took a full ten breaths.

"I have memorized all the training and application methods of pupil skills. You can let us go now."

Rong Qing did not answer, and remained silent after reading the jade slip.

"Could it be that the real person still doesn't believe it?" Su Xing'er smiled bitterly. This silence made Su Xing'er feel anxious. But no matter how anxious she was, she didn't dare to confront Rong Qing directly. Now she was under someone's control, and she had told the other party all her hidden skills. If she wanted to leave safely, she had to be patient.

Rong Qing heard Su Xing'er's words and shook her head. It's not that she didn't believe it, but...

"How did you come?"

Beside Rong Qing, a snow-white figure suddenly appeared.

The man was tall and slender, with black runes embroidered on his snow-white coat, flowing gracefully between the hem and cuffs. His face was covered by a large hood, but his high nose, soft lips, and pointed chin showed how beautiful he was.

Su Xing'er thought that Rong Qing obviously knew the other person, otherwise she wouldn't have been just slightly surprised. However, with this person coming, Su Xing'er really didn't know whether the next direction would be good or bad for them and their son.

"The time has come." Chu Yuan said simply and clearly, "It's time to go to the rooftop."

Rong Qing immediately realized what Chu Yuan meant. A place that matched Rong Qing's spiritual roots appeared.

"I thought we had to wait until the last day." She thought for a moment, "That's good. I can learn more about the situation if I go early. As for these two people..."

Rong Qing was a little hesitant. Should she kill or let go? Of course, she was more inclined to kill. Including Su Er who had escaped, she placed an inconspicuous ban on him, and her spiritual consciousness was also firmly locked on him.

Maybe it was because Rong Qing's expression was too obvious, Su Xing'er instinctively felt the danger of dying. She screamed, "We still have spiritual stones to give to the real person! There are also many secrets of many families in the city, and..." Su Xing'er's words were confused for a moment. Tears were streaming down her face, and she was distorted beyond recognition. She was no longer as lovely as Rong Qing had been when they first met.

"Mother, forget it, this is fate." Su Tianbao sighed and hugged Su Xing'er. At least Erbao escaped, but he couldn't tell his mother about this, lest it upset her again.

"What can you do?" Rong Qing asked him.

Although Rong Qing had already figured out the pupil technique, she was still not completely sure that what Su Xing'er had given her was correct and complete. If she killed Su Xing'er now, it would be very troublesome if there were problems with her cultivation later. Leaving her behind and confirming it after she had learned the illusion technique or obtained a magical instrument with similar functions seemed to be more reliable. In this case, Su Tianbao was the best means to restrain Su Xing'er.

"Me?" Su Tianbao said sadly, "I am useless. Perhaps the only thing I can say is that I have some knowledge of medicinal herbs."

Medicinal herbs? Rong Qing thought of the medicinal herbs that filled the yard. Although they were all low-grade, some were even used by mortals...

"Do you know medical skills?"

"Yes." Su Tianbao was stunned, because he had not heard this word for a long time. "When I was young, I studied medicine for more than ten years. Later, when I came to Cangliuzhou, I no longer had the opportunity to practice medicine. Therefore, my medical skills are no longer as good as they were back then..."

Just need to know medical skills!
"I won't kill you, and I won't let you go now." Rong Qing said coldly, "For three years, you will work for me. From now on, all our grudges will be wiped out."

"Thank you, sir. I will do my best for you." Su Tianbao answered before Su Xing'er, fearing that Su Xing'er's mind would become confused again.

Seeing that this side agreed, Rong Qing immediately said to Chu Yuan, "I will send them to Baishi Temple first."

In fact, she could easily move them over through the Baishi Guan in her Dantian. However, Rong Qing subconsciously did not want to reveal all her cards in front of Chu Yuan.

"No need to bother." Chu Yuan shook his head. "Write down what you want to tell me on the jade slip and I'll send it over."

"can."

After taking the jade slip handed over by Rong Qing, Chu Yuan raised his hand and lightly drew a black line with his fingers, which appeared in front of everyone.

This black line cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is only because everyone present is a cultivator that they can use their spiritual sense to see things that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye.

At first, it was just a black line, but in the blink of an eye, it expanded into a perfect circle. Su Xing'er and Su Tianbao were swallowed up without any control and disappeared. After Chu Yuan threw the jade slip in, the circle suddenly closed like a giant mouth and turned into a black line again and disappeared.

It's delivered already? Rong Qing pursed her lips.

On the other side, in the quiet valley, Feng Cong looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in the square in a very embarrassed state. If they were not both in the Qi Refining Stage and were not a threat, he would have taken action long ago.

At the same time, a jade slip suddenly floated out, and a familiar voice came from it...

Regardless of how fierce the fight was on the Cangliuzhou Heavenly Platform, in places unknown to ordinary cultivators, the fight never stopped. In fact, it would never stop.

The huge palace was filled with monks, which was rare. They were all powerful and unyielding. They were silent and angry, and their eyes were focused on the girl standing alone in the center.

"Do you know your crime?" An old voice came from deep inside the palace. There was a position there that belonged only to the powerful people in the family, the real backers. And at this moment, he was sitting there.

"I know what I did, but I don't admit it." The girl raised her chin. Her eyes were calm because she didn't think it was a mistake.

But as soon as these words came out, the many eyes that gathered around him became even more angry! If it weren't for the old ancestor's watch, I'm afraid someone would not be able to resist taking action.

"Originally, there was indeed a place for you. But there was suddenly one less place allocated for this time's inheritance of the hall, so my clan only has one of the two places left. Tell me the reason for this."

"Because," the girl closed her eyes, "my tribe is ranked last. So we get the fewest places, so once something unexpected happens, my tribe will be eliminated first."

"Since you know clearly, you know how much effort the clan has spent to train you. You killed your sister in order to get the only spot, but how can you make up for the loss of the family? How can a person who has committed a crime deserve a spot?"

The girl opened her eyes at this time. Even though everyone disagreed and even the ancestor wanted to criticize her, the pride on her face did not diminish in the slightest.

"I killed her to prove that I am stronger than her. The elders' decision to give her the quota was clearly wrong. I turned a wrong into a right, so what's wrong with me?" The girl didn't care about the looks around her, some of which even had murderous intent in their eyes. "Since I did nothing wrong and no one among my peers is stronger than me, it's natural for me to get the quota. As for what the ancestor said about making up for the loss... Do we feel bad for the death of a waste? Then our clan should just go back to the mother world and live in misery."

She was not afraid at all, her eyes staring straight into the depths of the palace.

There seemed to be silence for a long time in the depths of the palace, but it also seemed to be only a moment. A low, hoarse laugh came from there, "Interesting, it's been passed down to your generation, and a junior like you has appeared. What's wrong with me fulfilling your wish?"

inappropriate!

Several monks standing in the front wanted to say something, but the spatial fluctuations coming from the depths of the palace made them change their expressions immediately. Even with the strength of the ancestor, such obvious spatial fluctuations were generated. Obviously... the news of the quota change has spread to the Tangcheng Realm.

The old ancestor didn't care about the thoughts of these younger generations. Before leaving, he said to the girl meaningfully: "Take care of yourself."

She heard this, her expression remained unchanged.
