Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 411 Soul Stone

“Little Su Li, wait!”

Su Li stopped and looked at the ring, “What’s wrong?”

“Hey, I seem to have found something remarkable. Follow my instruction.” Black Lotus Ring spoke with a hint of excitement.

Su Li’s eyes flickered lightly. Black Lotus just showed a little surprise when she got the whole treasure in Cang Lei’s cave. He had never been excited like that.

“Is it some treasure beneficial to his recovery…”

Su Li thought and followed the instructions, and then turned around into the deep valley.

On their way, the mountains were barren. What they saw were just yellow soil and black rocks without any grass or bushes, let alone gold ore or other things.

Gold Valley, whoever gave the name, didn’t match the reality.

Although Su Li walked casually, her psychic awareness had spread out quietly and watched out the unknown danger around.

After seven or eight minutes, there was some fog in the valley. The further they walked, the dimmer the view was, and even the psychic awareness was constrained within 110 foot.

“Tactical matrix.”

Su Li reached out her fingers in the fog and became serious, “It is really weird.”

Hearing that, Black Lotus rolled his eyes and thought to himself, “You didn’t trust me just now.”

“A seventh-grade matrix. It is not difficult to break.”

Sensing the grade of the matrix, Su Li got relieved. After reckoning with her fingers for a while, she stretched out her hand and pointed into the nothingness. Soon, the pattern hidden in the matrix appeared and then disappeared under Su Li’s tactics.

As the pattern completely dissipated, the white fog in the valley seemed to be vitalized and began to tumble. Then it vanished like being blown away by a gale.

The senses became clear again, so Su Li’s psychic awareness could reach 1,100 foot away as usual. When she saw the scene outside 1,100 foot in her mind, her eyes were slightly fixed. She rushed out at once before Black Lotus urged.

“It comes nearer!! It turns to be that treasure, haha!”

Su Li turned a deaf ear to Black Lotus’s uncontrollable laughter and stopped in front of a moss-covered stone door.

“No one has been here for at least a millennium.”

Su Li went forward and wiped the moss away with her hands, so the pattern on the stone door was revealed.

It was a circular pattern with a coffin, deeply engraved on the stone door like a seal. It seemed to be an exclusive sigil of some sect or clan.

“I should’ve seen it somewhere before, it looks very familiar, but… I can’t recall.”

Once again, Su Li frowned deeply, thinking of the words Su Yuanhai had said earlier.

“Is there anything missed in my memories?”

“What’s it?”

Why did those assassinators erase a part of her memory, but did not kill her?

Su Li was stunned.

For a moment, she was lost. All these incomprehensible mysteries seemed to foreshadow that it would be not easy for her to find out the karma of her previous life. Even she was an evildoer this life, her body might not bear it.

“What are you thinking there? Little Su Li, get inside now! If I could be fully recovered, I would not care about any monsters or demons, and I would just kill them all!”

Black Lotus’s voice sounded despicable. Su Li came back to her sense and shook her head as she heard him. She pushed the stone door open and entered.

“Tsk tsk, who exactly did this girl offend in her previous life? This sigil is nothing good…”

A sigh echoed just in the space of Black Lotus Ring, and didn’t came out of the ring. Therefore, Su Li didn’t hear that.

It was dark inside the stone door. But it did not affect Su Li to find the path.

Su Li glanced at the end of the stone path. It was like a black hole that could devour anything. Su Li lowered her eyes and sniffed.

It was very wet here.

Since she absorbed the Divine Thunder of Water, she became very sensitive to water properties. And here was… obviously very dry.

Why was it moist?

“It’s not moist. It is the eerie feeling after a soul was shattered. Your soul has been refined, so that your feelings are not strong. If an ordinary practitioner comes here, it will scare the hell out of him!”

After Black Lotus explained, his voice became serious, “It is perfectly suitable to practice for those from Ghost Clan and ghost practitioners, and their pneuma can be completely hidden. So, you must be careful.”

Su Li was getting slightly nervous.

In other words, Black Lotus was not sure whether there were powerful enemies hiding in this stone cave or not.

“Suitable for those from Ghost Clan to practice? I have a body of evil ghost…”

With her eyes flashing, Su Li stepped away and moved over noiselessly. She crossed the stone cave door soon. A musty smell mixed with something different came to her.

A bleak view indicated that it was a forgotten place.

“Nobody is here.”

Su Li stopped frowning and Black Lotus couldn’t help but be surprised, “I can’t even feel that. How could you know?”

“The aura of the death is immense.”

Su Li walked slowly, and a vaguely visible black halo dissolved under her feet. Observing the empty and deadly quiet surroundings, she said, “If there were any living people, the aura of the death would have long been dissolved by the vitality. It would not be so dense like a substance.”

“I see.”

Black Lotus gasped in admiration, for he was just a spirit with no flesh and blood, so he could not perceive the aura of death.

While the master and the servant were talking, “Crack.” A light sound came from under Su Li’s feet, which echoed eerily in the empty cave.

Su Li stopped her steps and crouched down, picking up the trampled piece and observing carefully.

“Is this… a piece of broken porcelain?”

Su Li looked at the arc-shaped object in her hand. Both ends of it were broken. It seemed not like a human skeleton.

It seemed that no one lived here. So it was wired that a piece of broken porcelain was found here…

After thinking for a moment with frowned eyebrows, Su Li put away the broken porcelain piece and walked on.

After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped and her expression slightly froze, even her breathing slowed down.

“What do you see now?”

Black Lotus was also affected by her and he asked in a lower voice. What he had sensed was nothing but a square contour in front of Su Li.

Su Li gave him no answer. She waved her sleeves, and swept away the dust and debris. The square contour became clear gradually.

After a half quarter, the dust and debris piled up. A square pond appeared in front of Su Li. In fact, there was a pond filled with dust over the years.

There were square stone pillars standing neatly in the pond. According to the height, it could be speculated that the objects placed on the top of the stone pillars should be just over the water surface when the pond was in use.

“So many stone pillars. There must be over hundreds of them! What were they used for?”

Black Lotus wondered. He had lived for a long time, but knew few about Human Clan, especially after the ages of cultivation had evolved for so many years and many new things had appeared.

Su Li remained silent. She squatted down to pick up a fragment that was not swept away, and took out the broken porcelain piece she collected earlier.

“Same materials. Was… it a kiln?” Black Lotus’s tone became weirder, “It is not rare to have a kiln here. But why it was so isolated?”

“What if the Life Rings were stored here?”

Su Li’s voice suddenly sounded, and Black Lotus stuttered in shock and disbelief, “What do you mean?”

Su Li stood up slowly, “In all likelihood, here was a secret site for storing the Life Rings. No wonder there are so many broken porcelain pieces.”

Black Lotus didn’t say anything. Back in the Reincarnation Mirror, how many talents had Su Li killed?

The number was definitely not less than 30,000!

Although he was unaware that most of the talents were killed by Ling Li and Fang Yuan, this number was… already very scary.

After all… those were talents!

Normally, it was above the average to find over a thousand qualified children in a common city of Qingshui Circle, while less than a hundred out of them could follow the path of cultivation.

A talent practitioner might not be found out of the hundred common practitioners. They were very rare.

The number of the talents in every generation of Jiuzhou Region could not over five.

In the Reincarnation Mirror, 100,000 talents died at one time!

All the talents of Su Li’s generation basically were dead, and only those disciples of the Holy Sect survived!

“The situation here back then must be very spectacular.”

Su Li sighed slightly. She seemed to regret not seeing the scene that the Life Rings were broken together. Black Lotus was scared, so his voice became careful,

“Su Li, let’s go for the crystal. It’s like a black gemstone. It should be in this cave.”

“Black stone?”

Su Li raised her eyebrows and spread out her psychic awareness. Only broken porcelain fragments and worthless dust or mountain rocks could be sensed, “There is no sign of black stone crystal! How to find it?”

“Puff.”

Black Lotus couldn’t help laughing, “How could soul stones be found by psychic awareness? You have to use your eyes, dear Su Li. You’re killing me. Hahaha…”

Su Li squeezed the Black Lotus Ring with sparks flashing between her fingers. Her gaze became aggressive, “Did you ever tell me it was a soul stone? Did you?”

“No, Master, I was wrong.”

Black Lotus gave in with a lovable voice.

Different from the time when Su Li was just reborn, she could only threaten Black Lotus with a suicide, now… only the Divine Thunder of Water was already a threat for him. He would not want to experience the thunder strike.

“Alright.”

The sparks between Su Li’s fingers disappeared, “Now tell me, what the hell a soul stone is.”

“It is nothing but a treasure used for strengthening the soul.” Black Lotus muttered with an aggrieved tone, but all the information was transferred to Su Li.

“A soul stone can come into being under very strict conditions, namely places where the soul power is extremely strong. Since here once was the place to store the Life Rings, it makes sense to find soul stones here!”

“The soul stones are only useful for Ghost Clan. When members of the Ghost Clan were not extinct, the Human Clan might be interested in this place for selling the soul stones to them. Now… tsk, no one cares!”

“What’s it for me?” Su Li asked straightforward after hearing that.

“You’ll see when you find one.”

Black Lotus didn’t answer her directly. Su Li did not mind and began to search around the pond inch by inch.

The search was not as difficult as expected. Within a few moments, a black crystal in the size of a fingernail appeared in Su Li’s palm. It seemed that the dark luster on its surface can suck one with the soul, if one stared at it for a while.

“Black Lotus, it took me a lot of time to find it. If you can’t give me a satisfactory explanation, …”

A flash of lightning between Su Li’s fingers flashed, which made greedy Black Lotus shrink his neck and helpless.
