Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 151 Understood Everything

Zhou Qing said, "Qingyuan will be staying at Qingyun Sect from now on. At least show some respect to them. What kind of behavior is it to keep calling them idiots?"

Mu Zhuosha pouted and said, "So you didn't object to bringing him back?"

Zhou Qing ignored her and went straight to the point, saying, "Senior Uncle, what did you feel when you fell into demonic possession?"

Mu Zhuosha asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking about this?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Becoming a demon is the most important problem facing the immortal path. Of course, I need to understand it clearly in advance so that I won't be caught off guard if I encounter it at the last minute."

Mu Zhuosha thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can't explain it clearly either. At the time, I just felt confused and couldn't explain what I did to myself. It was as if someone else was controlling my body."

Zhou Qing's mind was slightly shaken.

Mu Zhuosha's description made him have many unpleasant associations.

He asked, "Are there any texts in the library that describe the experience of a cultivator falling into demonic possession?"

Mu Zhuosha thought for a moment and said in surprise, "So, it seems there really isn't one."

"That's strange. Speaking of which, falling into demonic possession is a major problem in cultivation. There should be many senior masters who have discussed this issue."

Therefore, this is a very unusual phenomenon.

Zhou Qing felt that his conjecture seemed to have been confirmed, although not with direct evidence.

Unable to obtain further information from Mu Zhuosha, the two then engaged in a long, aimless chat. Mu Zhuosha excitedly explained her recent progress to him. From what she said, it seemed that she had found the weakness of the Fragrant Lotus Saintess's combat system. As long as she could exploit this weakness and build a counter-attack system, she could defeat the Fragrant Lotus Saintess in one fell swoop.

Zhou Qing asked doubtfully, "But you only defeated the Saintess Xianglian from more than ten years ago, right? Who knows if she has improved even more in recent years?"

Mu Zhuosha smiled and said, "I have already asked someone to inquire for me. Xianglian's status has become increasingly prestigious over the years. Although she has accepted several challenges, no one has ever caused her any trouble, so I am confident."

Zhou Qing was full of questions and said, "Doesn't this show that Saintess Xianglian has profound cultivation? Why are you so confident?"

Mu Zhuosha smiled and said, "The combat system is a system, and this system often embodies a certain core concept of cultivators."

“Once something like this takes shape, it’s not easy to change. Unless she encounters a major setback that forces her to waver in her core beliefs, she can only add or subtract from the system, rather than making major changes to its foundation.”

“I’m targeting the very foundation of the Saintess Xianglian system; this isn’t something that can be changed by minor improvements.”

I don't understand what they're saying, but they seem really impressive.

If that's the case, then what should be your core philosophy?

Zhou Qing couldn't help but drift off into thought.

Mu Zhuosha asked, "What have you been doing lately?"

Zhou Qing said, "Cultivate, and then invent new talismans. I've had some inspiration recently, and new talismans should come out. Then our arsenal will have another bargaining chip."

Mu Zhuosha laughed and said, "After you came out of the thorns, you have already caused a commotion in the sect. Now the affiliated families are in chaos. They are all saying that you are going to overthrow the sect's order with your unique knowledge."

"If you take out a new talisman right now, it will probably confirm their rumors immediately."

Ok?
A thought seemed to flash through Zhou Qing's mind, related to something he had been concerned about recently. As he tried to grasp the thought, he smiled and said, "What, are you afraid of what they'll say?"

Mu Zhuosha said, "I'd love for them to tell me. If they don't, I'll start to wonder if I've stooped to the point of colluding with them."

Zhou Qing smiled, bid farewell to Mu Zhuosha, and went straight down from the Sutra Repository.

He walked towards the outside of the Transmission Hall, and stopped when he passed Elder Jinmang's courtyard.

Elder Jinmang has always been kind to Wei Kuang. He might know what Wei Kuang has recently encountered. Should we ask Elder Jinmang about it?
Just as Zhou Qing was about to step into Elder Jinmang's courtyard, he suddenly recalled a thought that had flashed through his mind during his casual conversation with Mu Zhuosha. The enormous commercial potential of his new talisman had already caused a strong stir in the affiliated families; could this stir possibly extend to Wei Kuang?

Wei Kuangke also came from a subordinate family.

Of the four people Zhou Qing found to help him inscribe talismans, Wei Kuang was the only one from a subordinate family.

If someone forces Wei Kuang to choose between his family and himself, given his personality, he is likely to find himself in an intractable dilemma.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Qing strolled into Elder Jinmang's courtyard.

A woman's weeping came from the elder's backyard.

Zhou Qing followed the sound of crying and found a coffin in the backyard.

Several people stood solemnly beside the coffin, and one of the women let out a sobbing cry.

Zhou Qing guessed that these people were Wei Kuang's family members.

Zhou Qing's arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.

Elder Jinmang asked, "Zhou Qing, what brings you here?"

Zhou Qing said, "I heard that Wei Kuang's family came to take him back, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with."

Standing beside Elder Jinmang was an old man with bushy hair and beard, who said upon hearing this, "Thank you for your kindness, but we can manage on our own."

Zhou Qing asked, "May I ask how you should be addressed, senior?"

Jin Mang said, "This is the head of the Wei family, and also Wei Kuang's grandfather."

Zhou Qing sized up the expression of the Wei family head. He saw that the man had a cold and dignified face, exuding an iron will. He figured that the man would not be easy to deal with.

He turned to the weeping woman and said, "I heard that Wei Kuang lost his mother at a young age and was raised by his aunt. They are as close as mother and son. Could this be his aunt?"

The woman raised her teary eyes, looked at him with a complicated expression, and then nodded.

Seeing the complex look in the woman's eyes, Zhou Qing understood everything.

"Alright, Zhou Qing, we still have things to discuss, so we won't keep you any longer."

Elder Jinmang said stiffly.

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Please accept my condolences."

After saying that, he turned and left the courtyard.

Once Zhou Qing's figure disappeared into the courtyard, Wei Xingcai said, "He seems to suspect us."

Jin Mang snorted coldly and said, "We originally intended to steal his formation, are we afraid of being suspected by him?"

"It's a pity that Wei Kuang has been bewitched by some kind of magic potion, and he doesn't even care about his family for him."

Jin Mang was filled with regret and hatred.

They handed the formation to their family's formation master yesterday, intending to create a sample to convince other families. However, the formation failed to function at all, and they then realized that it was a fake.

They had planned to summon Wei Kuang the next day to reprimand him, but unexpectedly received news of his death that very night.
