Chapter 369: Chapter 367: Smart Person
’I’ve finally absorbed it.’
Su Qing felt the power coursing through his body.
The two constitutions within him were merging together wonderfully.
Especially the Power of the Stars around him.
Su Qing had been absorbing it almost constantly.
The amount of Power of the Stars within the Star Sea was simply outrageous.
Su Qing also now understood how to ignite the Immortal Star Fire.
He just had to keep absorbing the Power of the Stars.
All he needed to do was absorb the Power of the Stars.
Once he absorbed a certain amount, it would ignite on its own.
It was just exceedingly difficult.
’My Comprehension of the Star Dao Essence has increased by so much.’
Several Stars materialized in Su Qing’s hand.
Actual Stars.
They glowed in his palm.
If Su Qing were to release them...
A massive Star would appear.
’What am I now? One who plucks the stars from the sky?’
Su Qing smiled, but his eyes were still filled with an overwhelming anxiety.
The more powerful he became, the more he felt an ineffable anxiety about fate.
’It’s still not enough.’
’I don’t know how to improve my current strength.’
Su Qing sighed.
’Is my Realm destined to be stuck at the Ninth Realm?’
’The Comprehension of Dao Essence seems to have no limit.’
’I wonder if I can advance any further.’
’It’s time to check on the two little ones.’
’It’s been over two years.’
Su Qing extended a portion of his soul and sensed Su Shang, as well as Liu Ling’Er.
’Su Shang?’
Su Qing’s brow furrowed.
He vanished in an instant.
He reappeared in a clean, tidy place filled with medical equipment.
It was a hospital.
Su Shang was currently inside a recovery pod.
’Her soul seems to be getting devoured by some kind of curse?’
Su Qing frowned.
He glanced at an adult woman sleeping soundly nearby.
It wasn’t Su Shang’s mother.
Su Qing focused on Su Shang’s soul for a moment.
’I can’t let this curse continue. Otherwise, Su Hongshang’s entire soul will have to be reconstructed.’
Su Qing was a little angry.
’How could Su Shang’s parents be so careless with their child?’
An Immortal Technique materialized in Su Qing’s hand.
The World-Purifying Immortal Technique.
Curses and the like were no match for it.
He cleared away the curse.
It only took a moment.
Su Shang’s soul stabilized.
But Su Qing didn’t leave.
"Administer the medication for soul recovery."
"Hurry up," Su Qing said with a frown, speaking to the machine beside him.
The machines all had their lenses aimed at Su Qing.
They seemed aware of his presence but made no move against him.
"Understood, Lord Su Qing."
"Commencing injection of Soul Nourishing Liquid..."
Su Qing’s voice woke the sleeping woman.
She looked at Su Qing warily.
"Who are you? Why did you break in here?"
"Leave," Su Qing silently commanded her.
This was the effect of the Divine Skill Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Order.
The woman, as if in a daze, walked out of the room.
Su Qing sat down nearby.
He watched the young girl.
The monitor on the nearby machine displayed:
Soul Damage: 17%
’This machine isn’t bad.’
Su Qing nodded as he looked it over.
A flame appeared in his hand.
Numerous medicinal herbs materialized.
Followed by a stalk of the Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf.
His palm, like a crucible, refined them into an Elixir.
[Unknown Pill: Refined from various soul-focused medicinal ingredients. Its properties are gentle, nourishing the soul. It also contains the essence of the Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf. Upon consumption, one gains the protection of the Nine Deaths Celestial Leaf.]
There was only one such Pill.
The other Pills were poison to Su Shang.
One could say they weren’t Elixirs at all.
Su Qing used his Magical Power to crush the Pill.
He dispersed it into Su Shang’s body.
It nourished her soul.
After he was done, the soul damage reading began to drop every second.
16%
...
13%
...
Soul Damage: 0%
...
In the span of two breaths, Su Shang’s soul was completely restored.
But she hadn’t recovered yet.
"If you keep watching without giving me an explanation, what do you think? Will I kill you or not?"
Su Qing said flatly.
「Elsewhere.」
A certain middle-aged man couldn’t help but chuckle.
’This ancestor really does seem to be powerful.’
’His methods are similar to the Dongfang Race’s.’
He tapped open a screen.
Su Qing saw a virtual figure appear, connected to his location.
"As per the ancestral land’s customs, greetings, Elder Su."
"Speak."
"This is a type of Soul Poison."
"It only recently broke out. It has been spreading on Jianmu for nearly two weeks."
"We have not yet developed an antidote."
"Then why did you take notice of me?"
"Because, Elder, you are classified as a high-level person of interest on Jianmu," the man said with a smile.
Su Qing really disliked his smile. It just gave him a bad feeling.
"Because Jianmu is in a standoff with the Dongfang Race, this Soul Poison is most likely their doing."
"When it comes to soul research, they, much like yourself, Elder, understand matters of the soul far better than we people of Jianmu do."
"But I calculated that you were watching over Su Shang."
"Because I knew you would appear, Elder," the man explained.
"Within the All-Knowing Institute, aside from the two reincarnated ones, you are indifferent to all other reincarnations or surviving ancestors."
"But they respect you immensely—a respect born from gratitude."
"That kind of respect doesn’t come from being suppressed by power."
"Therefore, these two reincarnated little ones are practically the only reason you remain in the All-Knowing Institute."
"When this little one collapsed at home due to the Soul Poison, I knew you would definitely show up."
The man explained confidently.
"So what if I showed up? I will not interfere in your affairs," Su Qing said flatly.
"But the two little ones live here," the man said.
’He really hit the nail on the head.’
’I really would take action.’
Su Qing was just annoyed that his motives had been guessed.
With a wave of his hand, he severed all connections to the room.
Su Qing sent a slap across space.
COUGH COUGH~
BLEGH~
Jiang Zhaozhu spat out a mouthful of blood.
It was from the slap Su Qing had just delivered.
A sentence also reached his ears: "When you’re too clever, you should know when to keep your mouth shut!"
"So what if you’re smart?"
"Sometimes, being smart can’t solve everything."
Jiang Zhaozhu said nothing more, merely smiling as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
...
...
’She should be waking up soon.’
Just as Su Shang’s consciousness returned, she didn’t open her eyes.
But her body tensed up slightly.
Su Qing noticed.
"Still not waking up?" Su Qing pinched her nose.
This little one was, after all, just a clever child.
She couldn’t hold her breath forever.
She suddenly opened her eyes with a look of resignation.
But she immediately squeezed them shut again.
It was too bright.
She needed to adjust.
"You’re awake?"
"Mhm," Su Shang responded softly.
"Get some rest," Su Qing said, looking helplessly at the reclining Su Shang.
After sitting up, however, Su Shang tried to remove some of the equipment attached to her body.
They were uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Su Qing could only leave the room first.
Outside, the bewildered woman was still there.
She became very nervous upon seeing Su Qing.
"Sir."
"Go in and help her get cleaned up."
Su Qing sighed.
His soul began to spread out.
He sensed that many of the surrounding rooms held people afflicted with the same soul curse.
It was also contagious.
The power in Su Qing’s hands slowly spread out.
The World-Purifying Immortal Technique flowed from Su Qing’s hands, covering a large area of Jianmu.
Jianmu.
At his full power, Su Qing could only cover a large section of its trunk.
He knew this because he had measured the entire Jianmu before.
It was a hundred times larger than his previous Heaven and Earth technique.
As for why the Greed Realm hadn’t come for it, Su Qing truly couldn’t understand.
The Energy contained within Jianmu was clearly far greater than that of the Spirit Realm.
’The Greed Realm is just picking on the weak.’
