Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1376 (One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Six)

Hua Mizhen asked: "Since you can transfer the evil spirit on the envelope to other places so that there is no evil spirit on the envelope, do you have a way to transfer the evil spirit on the envelope and the letter to other places so that there is no evil spirit on the envelope and the letter?"

"If it were possible, I would have told you that it is possible just now." Gui Gaoheng said, "The reason why I can transfer the evil spirit on the envelope to the letter is because there is evil spirit on the envelope and there is evil spirit on the letter, and the evil spirit on the envelope and the letter are the same kind. When I perform the ritual, the evil spirit on the envelope can be completely absorbed by the evil spirit on the letter. If the evil spirit on the envelope and the letter are not the same kind, the evil spirit on the envelope will not be absorbed by the evil spirit on the letter when I perform the ritual. If there was no evil spirit on the letter originally, it is impossible for it to absorb the evil spirit on the envelope."

"I see." Hua Mizhen said, "You used magic to transfer the evil spirit on the envelope to the letter, and then changed the envelope into one with isolation function. So, as long as the letter is not completely taken out of the envelope, other alchemists will not be able to sense the evil spirit on the letter? Even if the letter is partially taken out of the envelope, other alchemists will not be able to sense it?"

Gui Gaoheng said, "Yes. After the envelope is made to have an isolation function, as long as the letter is in contact with the envelope, the envelope will emit an invisible substance that wraps around the outside of the letter, isolating the evil spirit on the letter from the outside world. If the letter is completely taken out of the envelope and the letter no longer touches the envelope, then the envelope will not emit that kind of thing that can wrap around the outside of the letter. At this time, the envelope looks no different from an ordinary envelope. When the envelope does not emit that kind of thing, even a Taoist priest cannot tell the difference between this envelope and an ordinary envelope."

Hua Mizhen thought this was a good idea. With this envelope with isolation function, at least when the letter was in the envelope, she wouldn't have to worry about other alchemists being able to sense the evil spirit. So she decided to let Gui Gaoheng perform the ritual.

During this ritual, Hua Mizhen placed the letter there personally.

Gui Gaoheng had to touch the letter during this ritual, and she didn't know if Hua Mizhen would be surprised by her touching the letter. If Hua Mizhen did something out of surprise, it might affect the ritual, or even cause irreversible consequences. In order to prevent problems during the ritual, Gui Gaoheng decided to make it clear to Hua Mizhen in advance. So she said, "I have to touch the letter during this ritual. I told you in advance, you won't have any objections, right?"

Hua Mizhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Gui, you...you are definitely not going to use your life to help me remove the evil spirit from this letter, right?"

Gui Gaoheng smiled and said, "Are you still worried about this? Of course not! Didn't I just say that this time I want to transfer the evil spirit on the envelope to the letter, and then turn the letter into one with isolation function."

Hua Mizhen said: "Sister Gui always keeps her word."

"Does your sister Gui always keep her word?" Gui Gaoheng said with a smile.

"That's true." Hua Mizhen said.

"Do you still have any concerns?" Gui Gaoheng said.

"No more." Hua Mizhen shook his head and said.

"While I am performing the ritual, you just sit there quietly, without speaking or moving, okay?" Gui Gaoheng said.
