Because only Gu Lin had witnessed the entire process, he explained everything in detail. However, no one could think of what this black-robed man wanted to do, so they could only call Yunbao over.
Gu Lin asked, “Yunbao, what did the man in black say to you at that time?”
Yunbao thought for a moment and said, “He asked me if I wanted to be a witch with high cultivation forever.”
This answer made everyone fall into deep thought. Gu Yu was the first to speak. “Since it’s forever, does it mean that Yunbao has to live for a long time?”
Two words appeared in everyone’s minds: Longevity.
Only longevity could allow one to live forever as a sorcerer, but so far, no one had heard of anyone being able to live forever.
For this, they got Yunbao to summon Purple Eye. After all, she knew more.
Purple Eye shook her head after hearing this question. “Humans are living beings of nature. It’s absolutely impossible for them to obtain longevity under the rules of the world.’
Yunbao could not understand what Changsheng meant and asked, “Then Aunt
Purple, isn’t living for a thousand years considered longevity?”
Purple Eye smiled. “Silly child. Although 1 still exist in this world, I’m already dead. 1 only drift between heaven and earth without anyone to rely on. I can’t taste delicacies, and I can’t accompany my family. Moreover, even my soul can’t stay forever. I’ve experienced countless deep sleeps to reach this day. When that war ends, I think my mission will be over.”
Yunbao hated to talk about parting the most. Her lips were pursed and her face was filled with unhappiness. Purple Eye hurriedly coaxed her, “That’s a long time later. Just like how people will eventually die, I will definitely welcome dissipation. At that time, I won’t have any restraints and freedom. You should be happy for me.”
Yunbao still could not accept parting, but she forced a smile to reassure Purple
Eye.
The others focused on immortality. After all, such a thing sounded like a fantasy, but the man in black believed it without a doubt. Something must have happened.
At this moment, Yunbao thought of something and said, “That man in black told Brother Li Xuan that he was a soul swapper.”
Gu Lin quickly looked at Purple Eye. “Ancestor, can every sorcerer know about
the soul swap?”
“That’s impossible. Yunbao can only see it because you have an innate pure soul. As a soul, I can see another soul. Other sorcerers can at most sense that something is wrong. Since he’s so sure about Li Xuan, it seems that he is proficient in this, or…” Purple Eye hesitated at the end.
Su Tao understood and continued, “Unless he’s the person who helped to change souls.”
When she said this, she was very angry. Although she was lucky enough to return to her body after changing her soul, she could not forget the few months of fear. At that time, Su Tao really thought that she would have to live as Chu Yan for the rest of her life.
She did not expect to meet this person now. If not for the difference in strength, she would definitely take revenge.
Gu Yu said, “This sorcerer goes around changing souls to cheat souls. It seems that his method of longevity is related to souls.”
“But the strong soul has nothing to do with the body. It can’t stop the body from aging. What kind of longevity is this?” Purple Eye asked curiously.
Her cultivation method was still from a thousand years ago, so she was a little unclear about the current changes.
At this moment, Gu Teng thought of something and said, “I remember seeing a book in the library. It records the method to nourish the body with the soul. As long as the power of the soul is used through a special method, it can nourish the body and bring about a short period of youth.”
“A short period of youth?” Xiao Jing asked. “You mean you’ll still age in the future, right?”
Gu Teng nodded. “That’s right. This kind of youth is especially short-lived. It requires an endless stream of soul power.”
Hearing this method, Gu Yu said, “Then it’s definitely not enough to rely on your soul power alone. You need to plunder other people’s souls. Is there a specific method recorded on it?”
“It’s just a record of this kind of thing. If there’s a method to record it, they won’t let the disciples see it.” Gu Teng shook her head.
Since they knew this method, everyone understood what the man in black wanted to do. He definitely had a motive for taking Yunbao away.
Gu Yu speculated, “That black-robed man should be out of strength alone. That’s why he wants to abduct Yunbao and use her to help him plunder other people’s souls.”
Xiao Jing slammed the table angrily. “He’s really vicious. He won’t even let a child off..
