A life of clearness

Chapter 72 The Su Family Mother and Son
The atmosphere between Rong Qing and Chu Yuan suddenly dropped to freezing point. All the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with them.

"I said that there is a spot that will definitely belong to you." Chu Yuan said calmly, "I didn't say it's now."

"Now the competition has begun, and the places have been confirmed. But you said there is a place for me." Rong Qing took a deep breath, "How do you ensure it?"

"There are still ten days. You don't have to worry. The turning point will be on that last day." Chu Yuan pursed his lips, "Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

What can Rong Qing do? She can't beat him.

Since she chose to believe Chu Yuan and did not take any other countermeasures, Rong Qing had no choice but to continue to believe. Looking back on all the divinations that Chu Yuan had made, it seemed that there had never been any mistakes.

"Then you could have told me earlier, otherwise..."

"otherwise?"

Rong Qing glared at him fiercely. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious and flustered."

"It doesn't make any difference whether you say it earlier or later." Chu Yuan tilted his head. "The so-called mood can't affect anything. If I had talked to you about this in the quiet room earlier, you would still come to see the scene of the sky terrace opening. Just like..."

He curled his lips slightly. "I will definitely tell you now that you can use these extra ten days to track down the mother and son of the Su family. Otherwise, in three years, there will be no news of them at all."

Rong Qing heard what he said, and just as he "saw", he snorted heavily. Without hesitation, he turned around and stepped on his toes, flying towards the teleportation array.

"How despicable!" Rong Qing secretly hated him. But as Chu Yuan said, even if she was angry with Chu Yuan, she would not be angry at this time and waste the opportunity to catch the Su family.

Rong Qing was very interested in Su Xing'er's pupil technique. Since Su Xing'er and the others had taken the initiative to plot against her, Rong Qing would not show mercy and planned to seize the method of performing this pupil technique.

However, the time of opening the world is approaching, and she must first heal the hidden injuries of her soul and break through to the Jindan stage. Compared with tracking down Su Xing'er's whereabouts, she still knows which of these two things is more important.

At that time, Rong Qing also felt it was a pity.

Just as Chu Yuan thought, it was not a bad thing that she did not have a spot now. If there was a spot on the stage that matched Rong Qing's spiritual roots, she would have kept an eye on it even if she did not enter the stage. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity that almost all the cultivators in the continent came to the Tiantai to track down Su Xing'er and others almost wantonly, as she did now.

Rong Qing went against the flow of people and flew out. The teleportation array to the outer city was now extremely empty, and Rong Qing did not need to wait for transfer, and passed through more than 20 teleportation arrays very quickly.

When they walked out of the teleportation array, they had already reached the outermost part of the city. The place was originally sparsely populated, and now there was no one to be seen.

Rong Qing walked a few steps and arrived at the alley where the market was located. There were no stalls at this time, and the alley returned to its quiet and empty appearance.

She didn't care and walked to the door of the Su family's courtyard. The restrictions on the door were intact but simple, and with her restriction skills, she could easily brush them off.

After Rong Qing lifted the ban at the door, she did not rush in. Her majestic spiritual consciousness entered first and took a rough look at the situation inside.

The changes are huge!
Rong Qing raised her hand, pushed open the gate, and stepped in.

The yard, which was originally planted with medicinal herbs, was now full of potholes because the owner left in a hurry and never came back. The medicinal herbs that had originally been planted in the yard and were growing very lushly were completely gone.

Rong Qing's spiritual sense quickly scanned the area. Because the original owner had moved in a hurry, there were even some damaged and exposed herb roots on the surface of the soil, which had completely withered and died a few days later.

"It seems that they are all from the same family." Rong Qing pondered. At the beginning, she did not think too much. After being welcomed into the courtyard by Su Xing'er, Rong Qing would not take the initiative to release her spiritual sense to explore other people's houses out of respect. "The one who can live in the same courtyard with Su Xing'er is either one of us, or someone that even she is afraid of. The latter is unlikely. Because the herbs in the courtyard were too low-level, it can be seen that its owner is not a person with a high level of cultivation, at least in the field of elixirs, his achievements are not high."

Rong Qing chose to start from the kitchen and study. Su Xing'er and others saw that Rong Qing was still under the influence of the pupil technique and had not turned around, so she was very efficient in dealing with her own traces. Rong Qing walked around and checked carefully. I have to admit that everything here was handled too cleanly. The kitchen, study, and bedroom originally had few things, and now they are all empty. I am afraid that Rong Qing will find out something.

If Rong Qing wanted to trace back to their location through the prohibition, she must have something closely related to them. Ordinary furniture would not actually have any effect.

In her palm, there was a handkerchief with a dozen or so hairs of different lengths gathered on it. They belonged to Su Xing'er and Su Er. But these were not enough.

"Perhaps this place will give me some surprises." Rong Qing's eyes turned to the house. She walked forward slowly, and before she arrived, her spiritual consciousness had already opened the door.

A strong medicinal aroma wafted into my face. As expected, after the people left the building, some things were still there.

"Perhaps they have gotten used to it, or maybe they were too late..." Rong Qing guessed secretly, "They left such a big loophole for me just now."

There were many traces that could be found in this house. Hair, medicine residue, and waste pills in bottles. Rong Qing even found a completely unusable old medicine cauldron behind the house.

The medicine cauldron was originally of very low quality, and after being damaged, it was not even worth remaking. But Rong Qing chuckled. "The owner of this house has used this medicine cauldron to make medicines tens of thousands of times. Even though this medicine cauldron has no spirituality and cannot recognize its owner, the cause and effect connection is very deep. I can try it reluctantly."

The best medium is of course to leave a spiritual mark like Zhong Qiu did back then. Such a strong connection made it very convenient for Rong Qing to track the past in reverse.

Fortunately, Su Xing'er and the others had only been gone for a few days, so the traces Rong Qing had found were considered "fresh." The ban on tracing back had some effect.

She cut a small hole on her fingertip, and a drop of blood flowed out. As soon as the blood drop appeared, it turned into thousands of blood threads to weave a restriction. This restriction was complicated, containing ten thousand initial changes. After it completely became a spider web-like restriction, Rong Qing pointed with her finger and covered the many items she had sorted out in front of her.

The initial change of 10,000 was just the beginning. After the restriction completely touched these things and enveloped them, the natural changes became more complicated. Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions... These changes were too much for Rong Qing's soul strength to keep up with.

She knew clearly that these changes were manifestations of the Dao. Why can cultivators use various magics from the time they have trained their Qi and established their foundation? In fact, they do not understand the reason at all. Even if Rong Qing has practiced Taoism for more than 800 years and has reached the half-step transformation of the spirit, she still has a long way to go before she can comprehend the Dao. But she can still use it. This is because when cultivators use magic, it is just the beginning. The Dao itself can evolve and complete the various changes that follow.

It’s like lighting a lamp when it gets dark. All you have to do is light the wick and the candle will automatically glow and generate heat...it’s not the person himself who is glowing and generating heat.

"Perhaps when I catch up with these changes and understand them, the Spiritual Transformation Stage won't be a problem." Rong Qing sighed inwardly. At this time, the changes in the evolution of the restriction had soared to hundreds of millions. Only then did it slowly stop the speed of change.

Seeing this, Rong Qing's expression became more focused. This meant that the ability of this forbidden backtracking had produced results.

"Tianbao, don't scare me." At this moment, Su Xing'er no longer looked innocent and cute. Her face was as gloomy as water, and her eyes were full of anxiety and irritability. She hugged the man's head tightly, pinching his wrist and sending spiritual power.

"Mother." Su Er advised, "Your cultivation has dropped to the first level of Qi training. If you continue like this, your Dantian will be completely destroyed."

"In that case, why don't you transfer spiritual power to your elder brother?" Su Xing'er turned to look at Su Er with a grim expression.

"This." Su Er took a deep breath, "My son still needs to find some spirit stones outside. If his cultivation is damaged, the success rate will be greatly reduced."

"Then why don't you go grab some spirit stones! Or do you not care about your eldest brother's life and let us die together..."

Su Er hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. I'll leave right away." After that, he hurriedly left the cave. But when he turned his back to Su Xing'er, his face looked extremely gloomy and unhappy.

Rong Qing's target was the owner of the herb, so she couldn't leave with Su Er.

However, the situation of the Su family boss is obviously not very good...

Su Tianbao coughed a few times and barely woke up from the high fever.

"Mom, don't be angry with Erbao..." The voice was extremely weak, which aroused Su Xing'er's pity.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Tianbao." Su Xing'er coaxed her beloved son in a low voice. "As long as Tianbao gets better, mother will listen to him in everything."

Su Tianbao pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly and struggled with his hands, trying to ask Su Xing'er to stop transferring spiritual power to him.

"No, it will be fine in a while." Su Xing'er held his wrist tightly, and the spiritual power input between her fingers showed no signs of weakening.

"Life and death are determined by fate. My life has come to an end. There is no need to go against fate." Su Tianbao looked at his mother.

Su Xing'er still looked like a little girl, while Su Tianbao looked very old, with age spots all over his exposed face and hands. The robe that originally fit him well seemed even looser on his increasingly thin body.

"How can this be considered as going against the will of heaven? It's all my fault. I've implicated you." Su Xing'er was filled with grief, and the spiritual power transmitted between her fingers became even more fierce. The Dantian, which had already shrunk to the limit, began to crack at this moment.

"Don't cry, mother." Su Tianbao said uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Rong Qing's eyes flashed and she slowly smiled.

"Although I only saw a fragment, it was enough. The environment around them was obviously a cave they dug outside the city. In addition, the relationship between this family was not harmonious." Although Rong Qing was a little surprised when she first learned that Su Xing'er was really a mother and not a daughter, she was calm because there were so many strange situations in the cultivation world. And she saw an opportunity in this interesting relationship between the three people. "If you want to get Su Xing'er's pupil technique and the painting, there is a lot of room for maneuver on Su Er..."
