Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 69 Falling to Earth (2)

Luo Zai Shui and Nie Xu Shuang rushed to the pharmacy under the cover of night, and the knocking on the door woke Qian Kuo.

He was somewhat surprised: "You arrived so quickly?"

Nie Xushuang glanced at Luo Zaishui intentionally: "Xianyun Peak's Wind Riding Technique and teleportation array are not just for show."

"Huh?" Qian Kuo was still a little groggy. "There's no spiritual energy in the mortal realm. Isn't using a teleportation array a bit too much of a stretch?"

"We took turns deploying our forces and rushed over."

A warm current flowed slowly through Luo Zai Shui's heart.

"Oh." Qian Kuo stepped aside to let them in. "Shi Ming and the others didn't come?"

“They’ve arrived,” Luo Zai Shui explained. “They’re resting; they’ve been traveling all day.”

"Oh, oh." Qian Kuo yawned. "I really need to rest. I feel like I can never get enough sleep since I came to the mortal realm."

“The spiritual energy in the mortal realm is thin, so feeling tired is normal.” Nie Xushuang took out a bottle of pills and stuffed it into Qian Kuo’s hand. “Here you go. I heard you were injured too. You should be able to use these.”

Qian Kuo took the pill, somewhat hesitantly, and after a long while, he managed to stammer out, "Thank you."

Nie Xushuang glanced at him, her red lips parted slightly: "Sold at the original price, no returns, you can write an IOU."

Hearing this, Qian Kuo straightened his back: "Don't worry, when we get back, I'll pay you three times the price."

Nie Xushuang nodded in satisfaction.

The noise of their voices startled Liu San: "Miss Luo, you..."

Luo Zai Shui explained, "This is my senior sister. She is skilled in medicine. She might be able to save your sister."

Liu San's eyes instantly filled with hope and fervor as he looked at Nie Xushuang: "Thank you, fairy! Thank you, fairy! You have done so much good, please save my sister!"

Nie Xushuang calmly nodded and asked, "Where is he? Let me take his pulse first."

"Please come here, fairy."

Luo Zai Shui and Qian Kuo followed them inside. Luo Zai Shui glanced at Qian Kuo and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qian Kuo turned his foot around just as he was about to land. Oh right, there were female cultivators inside. It would be too improper for him to go in with them. He patted his forehead, trying to clear his head.

Luo Zai Shui held the candle for Nie Xu Shuang. Nie Xu Shuang took Liu Lan's pulse with one hand and lifted her eyelids with the other, checking her breath. She frowned slightly: "This isn't amnesia."

She tried to inject some spiritual energy into Liu Lan's mind, but after a moment, she withdrew her hand, her face looking rather pale.

"How is she?" Liu San rushed over anxiously. "Fairy, is there any hope for my sister?"

Nie Xushuang tucked Liu Lan's hand back under the covers and said directly, "It's alright, she can be saved."

Luo Zai Shui noticed that her complexion wasn't good and felt somewhat worried.

"Do you still have any talismans for summoning souls in the water?"

Luo Zai Shui paused for a moment, then replied, "I don't have any of these talismans on me, and I can't draw them on the spot. Brother Liu, why don't you and Qian Kuo go to Shen Yan's house together? My junior brother or Chu Ye Li should have some."

Upon hearing that his sister could be saved, Liu San didn't have time to think and grabbed Qian Kuo, pulling him outside.

Qian Kuo felt his mind was foggy today, muttering to himself, "A soul-summoning talisman? Isn't that used to summon the souls of the dead?"

Unfortunately, Liu San didn't hear clearly, as he was only thinking about going to Shen Yan's house to get the soul-summoning talisman.

Seeing that Liu San had been sent away, Nie Xushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is a bit troublesome."

Luo Zai Shui asked in confusion, "What's wrong with her? Why would she need to use a soul-summoning talisman? Isn't that only for summoning the souls of the dead? This girl is clearly still alive."

Nie Xushuang sighed: "She's practically a living dead. I just examined her mind and found that she's lost a soul."

“But, losing one’s soul isn’t…” Luo Zai Shui suddenly thought of something, “…soul devouring?”

Nie Xushuang nodded solemnly.

Luo Zai Shui was somewhat incredulous: "Impossible. Such evil magic disappeared a thousand years ago. How could it appear in the mortal realm? Moreover, this thing might explode and kill you..."

“Wait a minute…” Luo Zai Shui paused for a moment, “Those guys from the Ghost Realm… someone’s colluded with the Ghost Realm…”

Luo laughed in the water. Some people have had enough of a peaceful life and are starting to find ways to cause trouble.

Nie Xushuang's expression was solemn: "There is a kind of evil technique that specifically devours souls with heavy yin energy to enhance one's own cultivation. If it is used on the ghost race, then the appearance of the Ghost King is not impossible."

"This is a big problem." Luo Zai Shui placed the candle steadily on the table. "Who could it be?"

Nie Xushuang spoke her mind: "The Wen family may have great ambitions, but do they really have the guts to cause unrest in all sectors? There are even greater hidden dangers after the Wen family."

Luo Zai Shui tapped the edge of the table rhythmically with her fingertips, her mind racing. In the story she knew, the incident in the human realm occurred after the incident at Xianyun Peak. It seemed that her arrival had brought this matter to the forefront earlier. But who had guided her here?

How could it be a coincidence that there is a loophole in the secret realm leading to the mortal world? How could it be a coincidence that she just happened to encounter this matter? It's as if someone is pushing her to solve this problem. Regardless of this person's purpose, the result of handling this matter well will undoubtedly benefit all realms. Therefore, we can temporarily place this person on the friendly side.

But this person never showed up, nor did he make a move...

Luo had a vague answer in her heart.

You cruel fate, how dare you play such a cruel trick on us.

She cursed inwardly, but what needed to be resolved still needed to be resolved.

Qian Kuo eventually managed to summon a whole group of people, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

"Senior Sister Nie, do soul-summoning talismans really work?"

Luo Zai Shui looked at the bed covered with talismans for summoning spirits and felt somewhat worried.

"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. The soul-summoning talisman can fight against that thing for a while. The best-case scenario is that we can bring her soul back, and we might learn a lot of information. The worst-case scenario is that her soul will be damaged, and she will live, but she may be greatly affected in the future. The worst-case scenario is that we can't bring her back, and at the same time, we will be exposed."

"Don't worry, my uncle just replied, they're on their way."

Shi Ming comforted him, saying that he had been without sleep or rest for a long time since Luo disappeared from the water. Now, under the candlelight, he looked extremely haggard. Even Ye Xiao and the others had lost a lot of weight because of her.

"Why don't you take a break now?"

Nie Xushuang suggested that the disciples of Xianyun Peak and Chu Yeli had been setting up an array on the way here to preserve some spiritual energy for her, a medicine cultivator, in case she needed to take action. Now it seemed that it was indeed a wise choice, as she still had the energy to use acupuncture to save people. However, Shi Ming and the others had almost exhausted their spiritual energy, and even with the Spirit Recovery Pill, it would take several days to replenish it in the mortal realm.

Ji Tinghan, Jian Muyi, and Xue Xin were already huddled in a corner, nodding their heads, about to fall asleep. Su Wusi's eyes were also full of exhaustion. Although Shi Ming stood up straight, he had consumed the most spiritual energy. Not to mention Chu Yeli, who had used up most of his spiritual energy at the beginning in order to look cool and had not recovered yet.

Holding the Huaiyun Sword, Ye Xiao glanced at Su Wusi casually and said, "You guys rest, I'll stand guard."

Luo Zai Shui had already rested during the day, and with the recovery pills given by Nie Xu Shuang, she had recovered quite a bit: "It's alright, I'll keep watch. Thank you for your hard work."

Shi Ming reached out and tidied her slightly messy hair: "It's alright, we're the ones who are late."
