Chapter 275: Purifying Vengeful Spirits 【 Seeing True Nature 】
What is she doing?
Ming Zhaoshuang hadn’t fully understood yet, but her body had already reacted.
“Senior Sister, hungry hungry, food food, please, Yellow Springs Water.”
Sorry, she’s really a hand-out.
I didn’t expect her luck to be so good, she met Tan Zhu, so she could directly ask for it without going to Youdu Mountain.
Although she didn’t understand whether Tan Zhu’s Honored Master was Alchemy Saint Yixu or not, at least her Honored Master had a good relationship with Feng He, so she could ask directly.
【 Yellow Springs Water is also a treasure, and you are worthy of obtaining it? 】
【 You have the nerve to ask directly? 】
Tan Zhu half-closed her eyes, and a hint of helplessness showed in those enchanting peach blossom eyes.
“Why are you in the Ghost Realm?”
Ming Zhaoshuang smiled sheepishly: “Last auction, my Honored Master used up all the Yellow Springs Water, and now she’s in a coma. I want to get Yellow Springs Water to treat her.”
Tan Zhu’s eyebrows drooped slightly.
She remembered that when she took away the Pure Yin Maiden, this person was probably also deeply caught in the storm.
It’s just that she left in a hurry that day, and she could only protect herself. She didn’t know how this person left the Demon Realm, only that Feng Budu had made a move.
Not only did she make a move, but she also fought so fiercely that the people of the Demon Realm dared not retaliate, and killed the ruler of the Demon Realm in front of them.
The incident of the Fifth Prince of the Demon Realm is still being broadcast repeatedly throughout the Thirty-Six Heavens. The Black Bird Imperial Family has been very turbulent recently, and many citizens of the Demon Realm have held demonstrations and parades.
However—
Tan Zhu sighed: “I don’t have any Yellow Springs Water left either.”
Seeing Ming Zhaoshuang’s disappointed expression, Tan Zhu immediately said: “My Honored Master is a bit different. She only has a Soul Body. When I took away the Pure Yin Maiden, it was mostly her credit. Therefore, her Soul Power was also depleted at that time, so I poured all the Yellow Springs Water into her.”
“She doesn’t have a Wood Spirit Root, so she can’t heal herself yet. I can only refine some pills to restore Soul Power for her to slowly awaken. However, the medicinal ingredients to replenish Soul Power are too rare, and I haven’t woken her up yet.”
“She’s not here, and I don’t dare to break into Youdu Mountain, so naturally, I can’t get Yellow Springs Water.”
【 She doesn’t not have it, she clearly doesn’t want to give it. 】
Ming Zhaoshuang heard this and didn’t press further: “It’s okay, it’s okay, thank you, Senior Sister.”
Tan Zhu had no obligation to help her. Her act of helping her draw out the vengeful spirits was already a kindness. Ming Zhaoshuang was not so unreasonable as to insist that Tan Zhu help her.
On the contrary, she was very grateful to Tan Zhu.
Ming Zhaoshuang looked up and looked at the Azure Cauldron in Tan Zhu’s hand again.
The Azure Cauldron was extremely exquisite, carved with the image of mountains and spirits, corresponding to the famous mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces; it was surrounded by the appearance of golden dragons, showcasing the symbolic representation of the Human Race. It was precisely the Xia Yu Nine Provinces Cauldron that the Progenitor of the Human Race, Xia Yu, used to resist floods and shake the Nine Provinces.
Without a doubt, it was a Divine Tool.
This was the supreme treasure of Penglai Immortal Island, the alchemy magical artifact of Alchemy Saint Yixu. After Yixu died, it disappeared without a trace.
So it had fallen into Tan Zhu’s hands.
However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Yixu cultivated the Way of Life and Death, and it was too easy for her to die in front of the world.
Now, as a Soul Body, she resided in the Underworld, parasitic in Tan Zhu’s Sea of Consciousness, and had taken her as a disciple. It was only fitting that this cauldron be passed to her.
Before Ming Zhaoshuang could react, she saw Tan Zhu move her fingertip, and the Xia Yu Nine Provinces Cauldron continuously grew larger, larger, until it was level with the Three Lives Stone, capable of holding many people.
The Alchemy Fragrance became even more intense. The vengeful spirit that had been fighting with her just now plunged into it, completely disappearing without a trace.
Ming Zhaoshuang was somewhat astonished: “Senior Sister is…”
Tan Zhu smiled faintly: “Purifying vengeful spirits.”
As she spoke, Ming Zhaoshuang felt a chill run down her spine, as if something was rushing towards her.
She stiffly turned her head.
It was indeed vengeful spirits.
The vengeful spirits, some adults, some infants, and some with white hair, emerged from the sticky, dark waters of the River of Forgetfulness, and hundreds, even thousands, of them surged towards Tan Zhu.
All of them were women.
Flowing with bloody liquid, shaking their hollow internal organs, dragging their dark umbilical cords, with mournful cries, they walked, crawled, or rolled, some holding infants in their arms, moving unconsciously towards the Xia Yu Nine Provinces Cauldron.
Towards complete dissipation.
Ming Zhaoshuang was so stimulated by this scene that she shivered, but she didn’t expect Tan Zhu to be so practiced at this, clearly having done it countless times before.
“Startled?”
Tan Zhu laughed lightly.
Ming Zhaoshuang nodded and asked, “These vengeful spirits are…”
Tan Zhu’s expression turned a bit cold: “Innocent souls who died unjustly in the process of creating Pure Yin Maidens.”
Ming Zhaoshuang had already guessed a bit, but she was still slightly surprised, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
“Pure Yin Maidens, have they not been eradicated yet?”
“As long as human greed still exists, Pure Yin Maidens will not be eradicated.”
Tan Zhu said lightly: “Junior Sister, you don’t think that things like Pure Yin Maidens should exist in this world, do you?”
【 Pure Yin Maidens should exist in the world, she is the best Cauldron in this world. 】
“Why can’t Pure Yin Maidens exist in the world?”
Tan Zhu was about to speak when she heard Ming Zhaoshuang say: “They, like us, have life and human rights, have thoughts and ambitions. Why can’t they exist in the world?”
“Pure Yin Maidens are very good. Those who are wrong are the greedy people.”
Tan Zhu seemed not to have expected her to say such a thing. The Spiritual Power overflowing from her hand moved, with a hint of surprise.
After a long while, Tan Zhu said: “You don’t want Pure Yin Maidens to improve their Spirit Roots and increase their cultivation?”
“I am a woman.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said matter-of-factly: “I am not a man, so I cannot experience the joy they get from Pure Yin Maidens as a shortcut. I only know that Pure Yin Maidens are also living beings, and women like me. What I can feel is only the helplessness and sorrow of Pure Yin Maidens being regarded as the best Cauldron by others.”
“Moreover, even if I were a man, as long as I had normal values, I would know that I’m not lacking hands or feet. If I want to become stronger, do I still need to rely on others? That’s ridiculous.”
“You are right.”
Tan Zhu lowered her head, as if remembering something. The usually charming corners of her eyes drooped slightly, with a slight tremor.
Ming Zhaoshuang continued: “What I mean is, why do Pure Yin Grounds still exist in the world, why do people still go to great lengths to create Pure Yin Maidens, why are there so many innocent vengeful spirits under the Three Lives Stone.”
Tan Zhu’s voice was a little low: “I don’t know.”
Ming Zhaoshuang asked again: “Then why did you take away the Pure Yin Maiden back then, Senior Sister?”
Tan Zhu smiled: “That’s nothing special. I just thought the Pure Yin Maiden was exceptionally beautiful and felt a good impression.”
After all, the Pure Yin Maiden’s beauty was recognized as top-tier throughout the Thirty-Six Heavens.
Otherwise, even if she were a top-tier Cauldron, no one would have gone to such great lengths to cultivate an ugly monster for someone to use.
Ming Zhaoshuang said: “Then Fourth Senior Sister, why are you purifying these vengeful spirits now?”
“Perhaps I’m bored.”
Tan Zhu said indifferently: “I have nothing else to do, and purifying these vengeful spirits doesn’t take too much time.”
Since she was so perfunctory, Ming Zhaoshuang wisely didn’t ask further.
All she cared about was why there were still these vengeful spirits under the Three Lives Stone, and why there were still people in the world who specifically cultivated Pure Yin Maidens.
“Senior Sister, how much do you know about Pure Yin Maidens?”
Tan Zhu raised her eyes slightly: “Not Cauldron, but people.”
She only replied to Ming Zhaoshuang with six words, but it also showed her attitude towards Pure Yin Maidens – she did not believe that Pure Yin Maidens were items that could be casually traded, which was why she had gone to great lengths to go to the Demon Realm to save the Pure Yin Maiden back then.
Ming Zhaoshuang said: “Then Senior Sister knows who caused these vengeful spirits and who placed them?”
