I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 175 Great, Beat the Bad Guys
"What about me, sister, can I?"

Another pair of cold little hands pulled up her sleeves.

Ruan Xing lowered her head and saw Cai Jiao's ignorant face with a complicated look in her eyes. "You... can't do that either."

"why?"

Cai Jiao asked stubbornly, "Grandpa taught me that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. Sister, you saved me."

"I have no favor to you." Ruan Xing said softly, "That was just a deal between your grandfather and I. The first time I saved you, it was in exchange for your grandfather letting the Red Head Gang go. The second time I saved you, it was in exchange for your grandfather collecting intelligence for me in Liuyang Study. So, you don't owe me anything."

Similarly, she didn't owe Cai Wen anything. Cai Wen asked Cai Jiao to follow her. Not only did she restore Cai Jiao's sanity, she also often took her out to play, allowing Cai Jiao's young mind to have the happy childhood she had lost, instead of locking her up for her safety. This was enough to repay Cai Wen, so she had no psychological burden to give up on him as an undercover agent.

Cai Wen also had the same awareness. From the day he asked Ruan Xing to accept Cai Jiao, he knew that unless Liuyang Study was destroyed, he might die every day in Liuyang Study.

"But, sister, if we don't go back, will we never see grandpa again?" Cai Jiao's voice was a little choked up in the mind link.

Ruan Xing promised her that she could see her grandfather when she returned this time.

But I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise.

Ruan Xing remained silent.

Cai Jiao continued: "I don't want Grandpa to die, and I don't want my sister to be unhappy, so let's give it a try, okay?"

"You don't know what you will experience as a weapon spirit. It might be painful. You might not even..."

Cai Jiao interrupted Ruan Xing and said firmly.

"Nannan, don't be afraid!"

To be fair, if the factor of voluntary participation is not considered, Ruan Xing feels that the most suitable candidate is Demon Lord Xie Feng.

In her eyes, Xie Feng has always been a time bomb by her side. If he did not currently understand the specific content of the puppet contract and temporarily needed a place to hide, he would have rebelled and left Ruan Xing long ago.

But it is definitely impossible for him to do it voluntarily. He can't even be ordered to do something, let alone voluntarily die for Ruan Xing.

Among the few people who are willing to volunteer, Cai Jiao is the one most likely to be abandoned.

Because towards Cai Jiao, she only had a sense of responsibility that she had promised to Cai Wen.

After hesitating for a while, Ruan Xing still refused, "I promised your grandfather that I would not let you do anything dangerous."

Pushing away Cai Jiao who was about to speak, she looked at the Hanshan Snow Marrow in her hand, wondering how to use it.

How about trying it with the evil ghost in the pennant first?
Those evil ghosts have no mind and act entirely on instinct. Because of the control of the pennant, they will temporarily obey her orders. Can it be considered semi-voluntary?
Thinking of this, Ruan Xing first used his spiritual sense to nourish the Hanshan Snow Marrow, and used the method given by Xu Shengping to shape the Hanshan Snow Marrow into the shape of a sword bit by bit.

Because there were no other gold and jade ores to assist in refining the form, the entire Hanshan Snow Marrow was only the size of an eyeball, so after being extended, the sword body was slender and only half the width of a thumb. The hilt was slightly thicker than the sword body, with some spiral patterns on it, and there was no decoration at the joint in the middle, as if it were a flawless white jade, perfectly formed by nature.

After the shape was formed, Ruan Xing took out an evil ghost from the pennant and tried to integrate it into the sword body refined from Hanshan's snow marrow.

However, as soon as its soul touched the white jade sword body, it let out a silent scream, white smoke rose up, its soul twisted and struggled, and its Yin Qi quickly dissipated. In less than a moment, it had become a listless ball, no longer a soul.

Ruan Xing was suddenly startled, but the process had already reached this point and even if he stopped, this evil ghost would be devoured by other evil ghosts if he returned to the pennant, so he had to continue.

As expected, the fusion failed.

Ruan Xing frowned and thought, why did this happen? Was it mentioned in Xu Shengping's method?
He quickly searched through his memory.

Voluntary...similar...attributes...

Ruan Xing suddenly understood that the prototype of Hanshan Xuesui was a wisp of pure air between heaven and earth!
The clearest and brightest of all naturally cannot contain the evil ghost's soul filled with evil thoughts.

If it is ink marrow, it should meet the conditions for accommodating evil spirits.

But Mo Sui has become the essence of Jian Lai's puppet. If it is replaced, it will not only be harmful to Jian Lai, but Ruan Xing is more worried that Jian Lai's ghost will not be able to adapt to Xue Sui.

Don't take risks, the risk outweighs the gain.

While she was thinking.

suddenly!

Cai Jiao grasped the sword!
"What are you doing!" Ruan Xing asked in surprise.

But unexpectedly, the Snow Marrow Sword formed by the pure energy did not cause any harm to Cai Jiao.

She thought about it and realized that Cai Jiao's soul was nurtured by the soul-nourishing wood and was inherently pure. She also had a childlike nature, was innocent and kind, and had never killed anyone or done anything evil.

Cai Jiao begged stubbornly, "Sister, let me try."

She ignored Ruan Xing's obstruction and covered it with her other hand.

The body of the Snow Marrow Sword has begun to merge with her.

She looked up at Ruan Xing in surprise, "Sister, it worked!"

Ruan Xing withdrew his outstretched hand weakly, looking at the white light that continued to overflow from Cai Jiao's hand. The icy air spread outward, and Cai Jiao was shivering all over from the cold. The illusion spell cast on her gradually lost its effect, revealing her pale skin with rune patterns.

She just asked Cai Jiao softly with a complicated expression, "Ah Jiao, does it hurt?"

Cai Jiao looked up and smiled at her, "I don't want Grandpa to die, and I don't want my sister to be unhappy. In the past year, my sister has treated me very well. Grandpa said that if you treat me like a great man, I will repay you like a great man..."

"I am willing to be your sister, with the sword in your hand. Sister, you must take me with you to fight the bad guys..."

Her voice dissipated in the wind, and after a white light, her entire body disappeared. The sword made of snow marrow had a pure white blade and a circle of wooden raised patterns on the hilt. That was the original puppet essence of Cai Jiao.

Ruan Xing stretched out her hand, and the sword fell into her palm. She could feel the huge spiritual power and might in the sword. She lowered her eyes and said sadly: "Ah Jiao..."

"Sister, I'm here."

Ruan Xing:?
I was just sad for less than a second?

Cai Jiao's voice came from the sword, "Huh? Sister, I can speak now!"

This time it was real, a clear and crisp children's voice that actually existed, not a voice in the mind link.

Her voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "It's amazing! It's like I have a new body! I can fly! And I can also grow bigger and smaller!"

The sword flew up and kept circling around Ruan Xing.

Ruan Xing felt Cai Jiao's joy and couldn't help shaking her head and smiling helplessly, "Fortunately." She really didn't expect that she could still maintain her original consciousness after becoming a spirit of the weapon.

Could it also be because of the pure energy of the snow marrow, which is in harmony with Cai Jiao?

In short, Ruan Xing owns a spiritual weapon from now on!
Ruan Xing touched the sword floating beside her and said with a smile, "Then let's go and fight the bad guys together."

"Great, let's beat the bad guys!"

Gillian happily rushed out of the Shuttle Spirit Boat and flew alongside it!

Although Ruan Xing's plan would be basically error-free after he had the magic weapon, he still simulated it again in words to make sure there were no problems.

The shuttle boat quickly arrived at its destination.

Several people got off the shuttle boat. Ruan Xing sent a communication talisman to Cai Wen, inviting him to meet her in Yunyang City. However, she went to the village and left all her puppets and Jianlai with Jianlai, asking them to obey Jianlai's command. Then she told Jianlai, "It would be best if you can hurt them, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Your own safety is the most important. One of them has a mirror that is a spiritual weapon. If it is covered, your ghost escape technique will not be able to escape. Be careful."

After Jianlai nodded, Ruan Xing asked them to hide first and went to the town himself.

After taking over Li Jinfu's identity again, he came to the dungeon according to the original plan.

Cheng Zijue had just captured Cui Yurong.

While Ruan Xing was arm in arm with Cheng Zijue and guiding him to talk about the mortal, he turned his back and stuffed two pieces of paper to Cui Yurong who was struggling on the ground.

Cui Yurong felt a little strange, but she still took it and read the contents carefully. After reading it, she was shocked and believed what was said in it.

Apart from her benefactor, no one could call out her name, knew that the martial arts she practiced was called the Netherworld Ghost Record, and knew that she owed her benefactor 50,000 taels of silver.

So the person who gave her the paper was either transformed by the benefactor, or was related to the benefactor!
After memorizing the instructions on the paper, she quickly stuffed the paper balls into her mouth and swallowed them.

Ruan Xing saw this scene out of the corner of her eye, secretly praised him, and let go of her hand on Cheng Zijue's shoulder. Cheng Zijue still regarded her as a good junior brother who was sincere and thanked her profusely.

"That's not the case." Ruan Xing declined, "Let's go and report to the host as soon as possible."

After some operations, she successfully boarded the Black Hawk to the Xumi Realm with Sun Xian.

As soon as the two landed, Ruan Xing held him and went to the National Master's Palace as usual. After entering the National Master's Palace, he sent him to capture the mortal.

She was not worried that Sun Xian would betray her in front of the host after returning.

because……

More than an hour after Ruan Xing and Sun Xian set out, Cheng Zijue found the master again and said, "Master, that ghost cultivator has let go!"

"Oh? What did she confess?" asked the host.

"She said that since we are sincere and willing to help her catch her enemy, she is willing to tell us part of it first." Cheng Zijue said, "But she wants you to see it in person."

The host stroked the short beard on his chin and said, "Okay, then let's ask the master to go with us again."

The matter of the Sumeru Realm was of vital importance. Even if this ghost cultivator made him run to the dungeon several times a day as if it was a joke, he would not be angry. He was just worried that if he missed some details, the Sumeru Realm would be known to outsiders.

The host took a few trusted disciples into the dungeon. Cui Yurong asked for paper and pen. She said, "I don't know the man's name, but I remember his appearance. I can draw him."

When she was young, she was brought up as a lady in the boudoir. Not only was she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she had no problem drawing a portrait.

The host allowed her to draw it.

However, after a moment, everyone frowned as they looked at the portrait drawn by Cui Yurong.

One person asked, "Why do I feel so familiar?"

One person echoed: "I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

One person sneered: "Isn't this a shame for us inner sect?"

The host was stunned, "Tell me in detail."

The man quickly bowed and saluted, "Disciples are afraid of polluting your ears. Maybe you don't know that there was a disciple who was at the Qi training level and was called an inner sect disciple for decades without any breakthrough."

"That's right. This guy went in through the back door but refused to leave through the inner door! Maybe he knows how embarrassing it is and is afraid that we will laugh at him, so he rarely comes out."

All the disciples despised this man's actions.

The host frowned. He seemed to have heard the old man Fu Chen mention this: a descendant of an inner sect disciple came to the inner sect through the quota of a servant, but enjoyed the treatment of a disciple. However, because his elder had just achieved the Golden Core stage, the old man Fu Chen did not want to make trouble and gave him this privilege. It would only be a few decades anyway. After a few decades, when his elder reached the late Golden Core stage and fed the barrier tree, this person would naturally not appear in the inner sect again.

"So that's how it is." The host nodded and said seriously, "It seems that there is a traitor in the sect. Where is this person now, and who is his elder?"

The disciples were silent. After a few seconds, one of them said uncertainly, "I haven't seen him for a long time. It seems that he was brought back to Xumi Realm when the National Master Palace was on duty more than ten years ago. His elder was Sun Xian who was on duty at that time."

"Sun Xian? Yes, he came back on his own. Did he leave him in the Xumi Realm?"

Because that inner sect disgrace had an extremely low presence, even if he was mentioned he would cause people to laugh at him, saying that he was not even as good as the outer sect disciples. Therefore, no one cared when he disappeared for more than ten years.

"Not good!" Cheng Zijue suddenly realized and said anxiously: "Master, if Sun Xian is a traitor in the sect, then wouldn't Junior Brother Li who was sent to enter the Xumi Realm with him be in danger?"

Everyone's face changed as they thought of this possibility.

If Sun Xian is a traitor, but he is allowed to enter the Xumi Realm to complete the mission, isn't this sending a rat into a rat hole?

……

After Ruan Xing communicated with Xiantai Shu, they began an assembly line project in which one tree drew the rune patterns and one person made the essence of the puppet.

With the experience in simulation, Ruan Xing produced it very quickly.

In just two hours, two hundred of them had been completed, and they were just waiting for Xiantai Tree to finish drawing the runes.

When she came out of the water, she just happened to see Sun Xian entering the Imperial Master's Palace with a handsome mortal man.

Sun Xian was wondering whether to quietly summon Black Hawk while Ruan Xing was away and take his men back to report to the host. Suddenly, he saw Ruan Xing appear in front of him and asked with a smile, "Are you done?"

"Not yet." Ruan Xing answered casually, then turned around to look at the legendary male protagonist.

His face fits the image of a pretty boy very well, with red lips, white teeth, fair skin, and fair complexion, and his eyes and eyebrows are full of romantic grace.

His hands and feet were not tied, and it seemed that he was willing. He was not afraid when he saw Ruan Xing, but asked naturally: "Are you also an immortal?"
