Chapter 1505: Do You Still Accept Disciples?
Chapter 1505: Do You Still Accept Disciples?
Ning Shu sat on her bed. She was mobilizing the energy in her dantian to her heart veins when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door; it was Xie Yiyuan.
Xie Yiyuan checked Ning Shu’s face and asked, “How are you?”
Ning Shu said, “Much better.”
Xie Yiyuan sighed. “A little girl like you is in such a state, yet I still have to rely on you to protect me. I feel pretty bad. Do you still accept disciples in your Daoist temple?”
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu said mildly, “People like me count as cultivators, and doing things like leaking the heaven’s plans would result in the Heavenly Dao’s backlash. It is a solitary life, for which you’re not suitable. Besides, you’re too old to learn.”
Xie Yiyuan rolled his eyes. “Let’s go downstairs and eat.”
Ning Shu ate ravenously. Since spiritual energy was scarce here, this was the only way to gain energy to repair the body.
When Xie Yiyuan saw Ning Shu devour bowl after bowl, he couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. “Where does all the food you eat go?”
Ning Shu ignored him. After eating, Ning Shu hung the eight trigrams mirror at the villa entrance and set up a formation, the kind of formation that protected mountains.
But there was no artifact to act as a core. Ning Shu had no choice but to take out the compass again.
Ning Shu examined this compass. The magnetic needle was black in color, and its construction material couldn’t be discerned. However, it was plain and unremarkable anyway.
If this thing hadn’t blocked Feng Yin’s attack for her last night, she would probably be dead by now.
In the original storyline, Tao Qin had also escaped by relying on this compass. All in all, it seemed that this compass wasn’t simple.
Ning Shu placed the compass on the living room’s display stand and used it as the eye of the formation.
With these measures, Feng Yin would definitely have to spend some energy to break into the Xie family villa. It wouldn’t be like before, when he could enter and exit as he desired.
After some thought, Ning Shu decided to deploy another formation—the Spirit Gathering Formation—to gather all the surrounding spiritual energy.
This formation was highly complicated. Although Ning Shu had studied with Qing Yue for a long time, the chances of success were still slim.
Gathering the spiritual energy in one place meant competing against the entire world for spiritual energy.
Ning Shu fiddled with the formation and took out her soul pearl this time to use as the core. Her fingers formed hands signs, and the formation in the house flickered. Just as it appeared to be successful, the formation crumbled apart.
Ning Shu had no choice but to start over, trying the formation over and over again. At long last, the formation stabilized, and the spiritual energy slowly gathered in the room.
Ning Shu took a deep breath, and a soothing and refreshing sensation washed over her body. She quickly sat down for cultivation as the spiritual energy entered her dantian through the pores.
The energy in her dantian gradually grew. Ning Shu had only just started to enjoy the feeling of ample spiritual energy when the Spirit Gathering Formation collapsed once more.
Ning Shu: The fr*ck…
While the spiritual energy still hadn’t dissipated completely, Ning Shu desperately absorbed it.
A few days had already passed in a flash. Ning Shu believed that Feng Yin would come for revenge, but it was all calm and quiet. There were no new waves.
Ning Shu stroked her chin. She wondered if it was due to Song Ruoxi. Since he couldn’t leave her side, he wouldn’t cause trouble for a while?
It was also better this way. At least, she would recover by then.
Ning Shu thought that she could live in peace for some time. However, the female superior Feng Yin had messed with committed suicide by jumping off a building.
It was even being reported on the TV, the spearhead vaguely pointing towards Xie Weiming’s company.
The female supervisor was considered an executive of the company. For such an employee to commit suicide must have some compelling reason.
The Xie father and son sat on the living room sofa, watching the news on TV. Their faces were clearly troubled.
The female superior’s family was on the TV. They demanded an explanation from Xie Weiming’s company or they would make a big deal out of it.
Xie Weiming was now so irritated that the number of white hairs on his head had increased. He said to Ning Shu, “The ghost must have done this.”
Ning Shu: …
