Chapter 171: Eclipse Purloin (1/2)
Siao Qi looked at him, ”Let's carry on!”
Chu Li said, ”Why don't I help you hit the acupuncture point for sleep After you've slept, you'll feel much better”
”No, no need to” Siao Qi replied
Chu Li could see how deter her It would be better to just stop talking her out of it
The Imminent Skyline skillat an electrifying speed and looked like a dash of shadow traversing the landscape, shuttling from one place to another Within each blink, they would travel another two miles, and in between two blinks it would only take a few seconds
The heart technique that Siao Qi had cultivated wasand able to withstand discomfort Hence, she was fast to adapt to the swifther at However, she was still unable to s most of the time, as all she could see were flashes of objects and shadows as they travelled In the end, she chose to close her eyes instead The floodgates of memories opened, as flashbacks of her sister, Siao shi+'s sweet smiles floated into her mind
From that day onwards, the two sisters would be separated forever, by heaven and earth Even though Siao Qi could still control her feelings by cultivating heart techniques, the overwhelrief was still too e lap of wave
Siao Qi's Jade of Life had broken into two After approximately a day's time, the two finally reached the Yi Public House By the ti into the Wind Tower, their faces looked extreround floor, they could see Guo Mulin, Zhao Qingshan and Lin Quan, who looked downcast
Mulin's face was especially griritted on his teeth so hard that everyone could hear the sound
He had been taking care of Siao shi+ all these years, painstakingly putting every effort he could to provide her the greatest of care and love The two's relationshi+p was as close as that of her and Master Siao's Now that Siao shi+ had died, he put all the bla incapable of protecting her
Zhao Qingshan on the other hand, was silently cultivating a recuperation technique, but he too felt extremely sad at Lady Siao shi+'s demise He felt that it was really a shae, there was still so loolance upstairs He knew that the death of Lady Siao shi+ would be toowere to happen to Master Siao, it would spell the end for the Yi Public House
Chu Li and Siao Qi appeared in front of the three men
”Third Lady!” Lin Quan stared at her widely, and hurriedly went in front to give her a salute ”Lady Siao, you're finally back Quick, go upstairs and see Master Siao”
”My sister, she?” Siao Qi tried to keep her composure and asked
Lin Quan hesitated for a second, then shook his head, ”It's better that you go upstairs and see for yourself, lance back at Chu Li, as behind her
Chu Li said, ”I shall go up and see what I can do!”
Mulin sighed, ”Young Chu, the Second Lady had passed You won't be able to do anything for her up there”
”Not even a slightest of hope?” Chu Li frowned
In his h, he could already see Lady Siao shi+ She looked like she was in a sweet dreans of life Laid on the bed was only a beautiful but empty shell of her body
Mulin shook his head
”I've heard that there is this kind of secret technique, called the 'Eclipse Purloin' Have you heard of such thing, Elder Guo?” Chu Li enquired
Mulin creased his eyebrow and asked, ”Even you know of this?”
”I would like to give it a try!” Chu Li said
Mulin shook his head, ”Trading one life for another It will halve your own life vitality!”
”Why not” Chu Li replied casually, ”My life is not worth as reatest enlightened masters could pull that off” Mulin said
Chu Li replied, ”I know, but I would like to try!”
Mulin said, ”You know the outcoets revived or not, you would still die!”
”Elder Guo, cut the crap Quick, tell ave them a puzzled look, ”Eclipse Purloin? What's that?”
”Third Lady, it is a secret technique that allows the user to exchange their life for another's” Mulin shook his head, ”Only the enlightened lanced back at Chu Li, and said, ”A dead person cannot co around!”
Chu Li replied, ”What if the Second Lady was not destined to die yet?”
”You don't want to live anyrief-stricken by her sister's demise, but her mind was still rational She would not want Chu Li to atteh, I won't die so easily”
In his mind palace, he kept records of this specific secret technique It was not really a technique that trades one life for another, as described by Mulin In fact, it was a technique of su a dead person's soul The process would take about six days Once he had gathered all the fragroup theain
But that technique would be an act of defying the laws of nature It would enrage the skies and trigger a heavy thunderstorm
The fury of the thunder frohtenedpower, hence the old saying that the technique was a direct trade of one life for another
The reason Chu Li dared to perform the technique was because he had the Scripture of Life and Death He felt that he would not die so easily
”Even a top-notch enlightened master would succumb to the wrath of the skies What makes you think that you would survive?” Mulin sneered at him, and continued, ”I know you have a special kinshi+p with Lady Siao shi+, but she's already dead Not even an enlightenedher back Just accept the reality!”
Chu Li creased his eyebrow and asked, ”Elder Guo, are you sure you really kno to about this secret technique?”
”sure, just wait and see!” Mulin gave him a dead stare He then turned around and exited the door
Chu Li turned around and looked at Siao Qi, ”Lady Siao, why don't you go up first?”
Siao Qi shook her head, then slowly ascended the stairs to the third floor In the roo Siao shi+ He curled up beside her, crying silent tears, his body tre brother” She walked towards Siao Tieying, then patted on his shoulder
Siao Tieying's head was buried in Siao shi+'s shoulder, he did not move when he was called by his sister
Siao Qi let out a sigh She stood beside the bed and acco brother The atmosphere of the room came to a standstill, and all she could hear were the choked-up cries of her brother
Mulin slowly made his way back to the first floor He tossed a thin book across the rooht the book He then lowered his head and flipped through it
Mulin shook his head
He dared to give the book to Chu Li because he was confident that there was no way Chu Li could perform the technique Mulin had looked down on Chu Li He knew that only the strongest enlightened masters would be able to perforory Because of that, he did not even have to fear that Chu Li would be exposed to any sort of harm
But little did he know, that Chu Li had a deep cultivation of austerities Whatever an enlightened hly probable that he could do too But still, there existed a wide gap between the boundaries of innate htenedChu Li was, he would not be able to pull it off
After he finished reading it, Chu Li passed back the book to Mulin and said, ”Elder Guo, I would like to give it a go!”
”You really want to try?” Mulin raised an eyebrow and asked
Chu Li replied calmly, ”Yes!”
