Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 53 White Ser is Useless (Part Two)

Without further hesitation, Gu Shihan sent the Wood Flame in her hand, along with a wisp of Red Lotus Karmic Fire, into the mouth of the Great White Snake.

The white snake was in pain, and the cultivator fell out of its mouth and rolled to the ground. Liu Jiu quickly snatched the man back.

Gu Shihan directed the flames to rush into the snake's mouth, and the flames went into the snake's belly through its throat.

He suddenly increased the output of his spiritual power, and a great fire burned inside the snake's belly.

The great white snake, in pain, roared to the sky. The intense pain caused it to fall to the ground and roll around on the ground.

Upon seeing that they had help, Liu Jiu and his companions unleashed their magical artifacts and spells at the giant white snake as if they were free.

The flames of wood burned inside the great white snake's belly, its internal organs mostly burned away, and the snake collapsed and lay still.

"Dead?! That's great! Fellow Daoist Gu, thank you!" Liu Jiu said somewhat embarrassedly.

He was not friendly to Gu Shihan at first, and said some rude things several times. Fortunately, Gu Daoyou was very magnanimous and did not care about their attitude. He was even willing to help them.

Gu Shihan gestured to them to see Gu Yufei, who had collapsed to the ground, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Liu, let's not talk about this for now. What do you plan to do with the people over there?!"

“Fellow Daoist Gu! We really don’t know what to do. She has the divine imprints of the Gu family’s ancestor and the Supreme Elder on her body. If we kill her, none of us will survive! But if we don’t kill her, we feel uneasy.”

“Yes! During this time, we… the person we protected with all our hearts and lives turned out to be a femme fatale. Thinking about what we did, I feel ashamed and disgraced! Alas! You can know a person's face but not their heart!” Another male cultivator who almost lost his life said with a heavy heart.

Gu Shihan glanced at everyone, signaled Xingbai to put away the formation, waved her hand, and prepared to leave.

She saved him; they can walk their own path from now on. As for dealing with Gu Yufei, they know it's not the right time yet.

As soon as the formation was dispelled, Liu Jiu and the others rushed towards Gu Yufei, angrily surrounding her. Even if they couldn't kill her, they would be willing to collect some interest or compensation, since they had already offended her.

You should know that Gu Yufei has no less than 100,000 spirit crystals. Most of them were obtained by risking their lives to hunt down energy beings and willingly handing them over to this woman.

They never dreamed that in the end she would not only be ungrateful but also want to feed them to the snakes. It's truly infuriating.

"What...what are you going to do? My grandfather is a Nascent Soul cultivator! You can't touch me! You can't bear the consequences if you do!"

Gu Yufei knew that the Shadow of Allure had been removed and could not be replanted. A person can only plant it once in their lifetime, and it is difficult to plant it again.

"Gu Yufei, we're all from the same sect, how could you do this to us? Enough with the nonsense, hand over the spirit crystals and we won't touch you!" Liu Jiu said viciously.

"Want spirit crystals? Dream on!" A cold glint flashed in Gu Yufei's eyes, and then she disappeared.

"Disappeared? We've completely offended her. Everyone needs to be careful from now on. I remember there were rumors that she was quite skilled at seduction. We... I must have been bewitched by her, otherwise I wouldn't have done such a shameful thing and made so many enemies for no reason! Sigh!" Wen Zhi sighed.

“Yes! Fellow Daoist Gu has left, but the Great White Snake isn’t going to leave just like that. Doesn’t she feel envious? This White Snake is no ordinary demon beast!” Liu Jiu said in disbelief.

“Brother Liu is right! Even if she takes it all, we will have no complaints. She is the kind of person worth befriending.” Wen Zhi nodded. “Would she lack these things? As the last disciple of Venerable Danhua, would she lack good things? I will definitely try to build a good relationship with her in the future. She is my savior, Gu Ziyang’s savior. Although we have no way to repay her, we cannot forget this life-saving grace.” The male cultivator named Gu Ziyang said earnestly.

Gu Shihan ignored Liu Jiu and the others' conversation. She was happy to have completed the mission and gained another set of fate-changing points, while the female lead Gu Yufei's luck value dropped a bit.

After Gu Yufei was taken away by the spirit Atai, Atai said angrily, "Yufei, you have suffered a lot by doing this. Those people were gathered together with great effort. How could you harm the people around you for the sake of a beast?"

Gu Yufei said dejectedly, "How was I supposed to know something would go wrong? Atai, aren't you all-powerful? How could the Bewitching Shadows be dispelled? And all of them were dispelled? Didn't you notice anything unusual at all?"

"Yufei, are you blaming me? I was focused on protecting you and didn't pay attention to anything else, which allowed someone to take advantage of the situation. Now we've lost everything." Atai said, feeling frustrated and annoyed.

"Atai, the secret realm is fraught with danger. I have no one by my side anymore. From now on, I can only rely on you! You are all I have!" Gu Yufei put away her true feelings and pretended to be weak and dependent.

Who is Gu Yufei? She's a famous femme fatale, with a lot of scheming in her heart. She knows Atai's thoughts very well, and he has feelings for her.

Although he allowed Gu Yufei to profit from her interactions with men, in reality, the men's bodies were not with Gu Yufei, but rather they used intermediaries to exploit her abilities.

Most of the power naturally nourished Atai's soul, and Gu Yufei didn't gain much, which is why her cultivation level didn't improve very quickly. Gu Yufei was unaware of this.

Atai quickly put aside his displeasure and began thinking about how to help Gu Yufei find a bodyguard.

Gu Shihan searched for treasure everywhere. The afternoon sun gradually disappeared, and the forest in front of her became increasingly deep and secluded, with towering trees blocking out the light...

Gu Shihan was quite bold, and kept getting closer to the inside. With Xing Bai's help, the higher the grade of the spiritual herbs she obtained, the better.

Gu Shihan reaped a great harvest. "That's Spirit Gathering Grass! Good stuff!"

The Spirit Gathering Grass can be used to refine Spirit Gathering Pills, and it can also be planted. The Spirit Gathering Grass has the effect of gathering spirits, and cultivating next to it is comparable to a Spirit Gathering Array.

They traveled on and off, and time slipped away quietly. They only encountered a few corpses of cultivators occasionally, and did not encounter any other human cultivators.

As it was getting dark, Gu Shihan encountered another large group of energy beings. There were so many that Gu Shihan didn't dare to confront them head-on and had to change course and leave.

Whether she had run out of good luck or something else, Gu Shihan's departure still alerted the Energy Man.

Gu Shihan's pressure increased dramatically. As she retreated and fought, her spiritual energy could no longer keep up, and the power of her spells was greatly reduced without the support of spiritual energy.

In a panic, Gu Shihan retreated to the edge of a cliff. "Jump!" A daring thought popped into her mind.

If she didn't jump off the cliff, all that awaited her was the depletion of her spiritual power, turning her into a corpse at the hands of the energy beings.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been hunting down so many low-level energy beings, but the energy beings I encounter now are obviously of a much higher level. The worst crystals I get are red crystals, and occasionally purple crystals appear.

Gu Shihan was overjoyed by what she saw at the bottom of the cliff. There were several spiritual herbs that had long been extinct in the spirit world, including a 9th-grade leaf ginseng, which was estimated to be over 5,000 years old.
