By this time, Luo Shuying had already come to fully trust Su Xing, so she quickly nodded and said,
"As you command, elder!"
"May I ask, elder, is there anything I can do for you?"
At this moment, in Luo Shuying's heart,
Su Xing was an absolute expert, a paragon who had stood against the Foreign Race for a millennium, a true representative of the righteous.
He was also the straw that Luo Shuying grasped at for self-redemption, the one who could save the Spirit Race world!
Su Xing still maintained a calm and composed expression and sighed,
"Your strength is still too weak now... you haven't even reached the realm of legend..."
"How about this, you go to the Descending Sect's treasury and find a piece of Condensing Spirit Wood, and I will refine a batch of Soul Condensing Pills for you, which will help you to break through to legend!"
Luo Shuying was delighted upon hearing this and was even more convinced that Su Xing was a peerless expert who stayed hidden from the world.
Luo Shuying said, bowing in gratitude.
Su Xing then nodded slightly and said,
"From now on, on this day of each month, you can come here seeking me, and if I'm not here, feel free to leave..."
"Next month, on the 8th, bring the Condensing Spirit Wood, and after another month, you can come to receive your elixirs..."
Luo Shuying quickly nodded in response.
Su Xing used his Spiritual Power to draw an image of the Condensing Spirit Wood in the air and instructed Luo Shuying on several matters.
Luo Shuying then excused herself, prepared to return to the Descending Sect.
Su Xing, on the other hand, carefully erased all traces of their meeting here and obscured the workings of fate before preparing to fly back to Kyoto on his sword.
To be safe, Su Xing did not return directly to Kyoto City but instead traveled through the sky, overland, and waterway in turns.
He made a big detour, passing through seven or eight provinces before returning to Kyoto City.
Back in his familiar dormitory, Su Xing took a deep breath and entered the Spirit Field Cave.
Inside the Spirit Field Cave, Su Xing thought carefully for a long time to make sure he had left nothing unchecked, and only then, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew~ Taking out that damned Zong and meeting Luo Shuying certainly entailed some risks, but the rewards are quite tempting!"
Su Xing murmured to himself.
In the real world, it would be better not to reveal his identity to Luo Shuying.
Especially after knowing more about the strength of the Descending Sect and the Foreign Race, the fewer people who knew about Su Xing's identity, the better.
It was best if everyone thought of Su Xing as a student who had failed to graduate, a bottom-rung student; this was in line with Su Xing's wishes.
With these thoughts, Su Xing took out an item.
It was unexpectedly the storage bag of the damned Zong!
"Finally got my hands on it... Within this storage bag is the fortune that Zong accumulated over thousands of years!"
Su Xing rubbed his hands together excitedly.
иөν@εʟ-һо∫τε+ƌ&-Ꮇ!ⅴ*ᒪҽƜ?р¥я
Firstly, he took out a large pile of Spirit Stones.
Because Zong had not yet hidden the Spirit Stones in the Five Elements Mountain, the bag contained nearly eighty thousand Spirit Stones in total.
Su Xing carefully added this batch of Spirit Stones to his own pile.
Thus, the number of Su Xing's low-grade Spirit Stones surpassed three hundred thousand!
Afterwards, Su Xing continued to sort through the contents of the storage bag.
He kept aside the Cultivation Techniques and magic techniques recorded on the Jade Slips; these might be of great use to him in the future.
He also categorized some Magic Artifacts,
including those like the Five Thunder Balls, which were very useful for Su Xing.
However, the frequently used bone sword and the Soul Summoning Banner favored by Zong did not attract Su Xing much.
One reason was that these Magic Artifacts were overly malicious; another was that they had significant side effects.
Moreover, with Su Xing himself cultivating his own prime artifact, there was no need for him to settle for less and pursue these.
"Hmm, the quality of these Spiritual Medicines is really not bad; they must be at least several hundred years old... I'll preserve them carefully; they might be needed when I practice alchemy in the future..."
Su Xing took out several jade boxes and stored the Spiritual Medicine to prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating.
Next, he carefully put away the elixirs in various bottles and jars, planning to examine their uses when he had more time.
As for the puppets, Su Xing did not touch them for the moment.
After all, there were still Prohibitions on these objects, which could easily reveal clues to others.
It was a relatively safe approach to keep them in the Spirit Field Cave.
After categorizing all sorts of treasures from the entire storage bag, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief and began to read Zong's diary.
"Xianwu Year 2377, entered the sect, chanced upon the Flower Fairy... truly beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, I really felt inferior..."
"Xianwu Year 2378, the Flower Fairy gave me directions, I didn't sleep at all that night, so excited was I..."
"Xianwu Year 2379, passing by the Flower Fairy's chamber, I mustered the courage to approach and inquire about Cultivation Techniques..."
"Xianwu Year 2380, I talked with the Flower Fairy for a long time, and she said I was a good person... Strange, was she complimenting me?"
"Xianwu Year 2382, I bought a hundred-year fine wine from the foot of our sect for the Flower Fairy, she and the eldest senior brother drank together... I wanted to join them, but the Flower Fairy said that as a newcomer to the path of cultivation, I should not drink... Strange, how come master never told me that? Luckily, the Flower Fairy reminded me..."
Su Xing casually flipped through a few pages of the diary and then couldn't help but close it.
"Damn, this damned Zong was a lovesick puppy back in the day!"
"The early diaries nearly always mention the Flower Fairy..."
"Tsk tsk, perhaps his descent to the path of evil cultivation... was also because he was deeply hurt by the Flower Fairy..."
Su Xing felt somewhat speechless for the moment; Zong's experiences were truly peculiar!
Recalling the Flower Fairy who was turned into a puppet in the storage magical artifact, Su Xing sighed that love indeed was a stumbling block on the path of cultivation!
"Well, when I'm bored someday, I'll look through Zong's diaries again; surely, I can glean quite a bit of useful information from them!"
Su Xing put the diary away, since there was no rush to finish reading it now that he had the object in hand.
The main problem was that the content was too voluminous... Who could finish reading diaries spanning thousands of years?
