364 Devour
“I can help you get rid of the evil aura in your body, but you still have to find the carrier of the evil aura. You seemed to know the carrier is.”
The reason why Qin Xi wanted to find the carrier of the evil aura was very simple. This was because absorbing the vengeful spirit in the bronze mirror was very helpful for her to increase her cultivation level. It had to be known that when Meng Chang’an brought her to the Breeze Villa, she had caught a ghost. At that time, she was lucky enough to absorb the ghost and accidentally advanced to the next level.
Therefore, the vengeful spirit in the mirror was a great tonic for her. How could she miss it?
Elder Cheng did not know what she was thinking, but he knew one thing, which was that Qin Xi had a way to help him get rid of the evil aura in his body. This made him extremely excited. He stood up and said, “I know that thing. I’ll go get it now.”
Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and turned around to ask Qin Xi, “Do you need me to prepare anything else? I’ll set it up.”
Qin Xi waved her hand and said casually, “No need. Just bring the thing over.”
After Elder Cheng left, Gu Qing asked skeptically, “Qin Xi, do you really have a way to get rid of the evil aura in Elder Cheng’s body? But I don’t see anything wrong with him.”
Although Qin Xi hated Gu Qing for having the potential to be a scumbag, he was still a good friend. Therefore, she explained calmly, “You’re only looking at his body, but I’m looking at his spirit.”
Gu Qing didn’t understand. “Spirit? What’s the difference?”
“The essential elements in one’s body include: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These are the five major elements of the body. The lack of any of them will weaken one’s spirit. If a person’s spirit is weak, it means that this person is suffering from a serious illness. If it’s serious, it will take the person’s life. Elder Cheng’s Qi is in disorder. This also means that the evil aura has entered his body and is destroying his Qi.”
“You Western doctors won’t be able to tell such a thing, not even with the help of the most advanced medical equipment. Of course, ordinary Chinese doctors won’t be able to tell unless they master the Qi Observation Technique.”
Qin Xi explained it briefly to Gu Qing, not caring if he understood or not. After taking a sip of tea, she saw Elder Cheng return in a hurry with something wrapped in red cloth in his hand.
Gu Qing seemed to have noticed the strange look in Qin Xi’s eyes and asked in a low voice, “Is there a problem?”
Qin Xi did not say anything. In any case, she was about to absorb the vengeful spirit. There was no need to scare him more.
“Is this one the carrier? Back then, I liked it very much and hugged it to sleep. After that, strange things happened one after another. Later on, I met that Daoist priest and was blessed with a jade pendant. Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen to me now!” At this point, Elder Cheng smiled sadly. He was old and tired of being tortured like this!
Qin Xi took out the bronze mirror. The workmanship of the bronze mirror was extremely exquisite. There were lifelike peony flowers carved on the back of the mirror. It was beautiful. Moreover, the entire bronze mirror was made of pure gold and was inlaid with a top-grade emerald. It looked extremely luxurious.
However, when she touched the bronze mirror, a cold aura spread from her fingers to her entire body. If it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to withstand it.
Qin Xi wanted to absorb the vengeful spirit inside, but she did not expect this vengeful spirit to want to attach itself to her. Qin Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled strangely.
Very good. The ‘food’ actually wanted to take the initiative to enter her mouth.
Before the vengeful spirit could control Qin Xi’s body, it suddenly felt an extremely dangerous aura sweeping over. Before it could escape, it was devoured bit by bit.
