Chapter 673 Minor Tactics
Bingli stroked the teacup in her hand for a moment before saying:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, how much time did you buy?"

"The spirit stones I gave him are enough for him to stay here for three days. After three days, Dengyun Tower will definitely come to pick him up."

Yun Xi spoke the truth.

Bingli pondered for a moment and said:

“I’m determined to take his cultivation level and his soul. Of course, if your information is wrong, then you’ll have to pay for Young Master Jin Xiu’s life.”

She wouldn't do something that loses money.

"Of course, but as I said, information must be shared."

"it is good."

"Then let's renegotiate the contract."

Yunxi was not ambiguous either; this was a transaction, so naturally she had to protect her own interests.

Bingli immediately nodded. At this moment, she was a qualified gossip. The two parties signed a new contract. After the contract was established, Yunxi waved her hand to open the barrier, and carrying Lili and the dots hidden on Lili's body, she walked into the room first.

Jin Xiu had been feeling uneasy ever since Yun Xi left, his right eyelid twitching violently. So, as soon as Yun Xi entered the room, he immediately stood up and said in a low voice:

"Your Excellency Xi Yun."

The next moment she saw Bing Li following closely behind her into the room, and her expression changed slightly.

Yunxi didn't give him a chance to speak, and said with a smile:

"Young Master Jin Xiu, I just happened to run into Fellow Daoist Bing Li when I went out. He also really likes your zither playing, so he came along to listen to you play. Please play a piece for us!"

He then naturally sat down in the main seat, while Bing Li's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she spoke in a sarcastic tone:

"Young Master Jin Xiu, I heard from the disciples of Dengyun Tower that you were in seclusion to break through your cultivation. Why did you come here during your seclusion?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jin Xiu's face, and his lowered eyes were filled with vigilance. He then said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist Bingli, you should know that I was also forced into this situation."

The rest of the words were left unsaid, but everyone understood the meaning.

"Hmph! So you're just complaining that I didn't pay enough spirit stones? What? This Fellow Daoist Xi Yun gave you a satisfactory price? And you're already so impatient?"

The insult in Bing Li's words was quite obvious, but Yun Xi just watched the spectacle, and even casually remarked:

“Fellow Daoist Bingli, you’re wrong. This kind of thing is based on mutual consent. I paid a high-grade spirit stone from a storage ring. If you want to win Young Master Jin Xiu’s favor, how can you be stingy with spirit stones?”

"Tsk tsk, someone like him is only worth ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. I'm only doing this because of his cultivation level; otherwise, I wouldn't waste such spirit stones."

Young Master Jin Xiu's face flushed red, as if he had suffered a great humiliation. He waved his sleeve, put away the zither, and then cupped his hands to Yun Xi, saying:

“Your Excellency Xi Yun, please forgive Jin Xiu’s rudeness. I will return to Dengyun Tower first and will repay you double the amount of spirit stones later.”

After saying that, he was ready to leave.

Yunxi's face turned cold. She raised her hand and with a single breath, threw the man back into the chair. The next instant, a sealing rune was injected into his body. Jin Xiu's expression changed. He tried to resist but found that he couldn't use his spiritual power at all. He then looked at Yunxi and Bingli in horror.

At this moment, Yunxi and Bingli both changed to indifferent expressions, especially Bingli, who showed no signs of the bitterness of "wanting but not getting". She flipped her wrist and took out a purple gourd, which she then pointed at Jin Xiu and began to make hand seals.

Yunxi saw the spiritual energy within Jin Xiu's body flow into the gourd like a flood, and Jin Xiu roared in terror:
"You stop!"

But Bing Li ignored him and continued to absorb Jin Xiu's cultivation.

Yunxi watched as Jin Xiu's cultivation level dropped layer by layer, finally stopping at the Foundation Establishment stage. His appearance also lost its former luster due to the drop in cultivation level, and his temples were covered with white frost.

"Fellow Daoist Bingli, take it easy, don't kill anyone." Yunxi reminded her at the right moment, and Bingli nodded in response.
"Don't worry, I have a measure."

After saying that, he put away the purple gourd, and with his five fingers forming a claw, he grabbed at the location of the opponent's dantian, pulling out the opponent's nascent soul that was about to dissipate.

Bing Li looked at the nascent soul, which was completely different in appearance from Young Master Jin Xiu, and was certain that the other party had been possessed. However, she still needed to search the soul to determine whether the possessing soul was an evil cultivator, because there was no trace of evil energy on the nascent soul, so she could not make a judgment for the time being.

Yunxi simply gestured for him to proceed and waited for the results of the soul search. She also wanted to know Bingli's abilities.

Bing Li's divine sense transformed into threads and entered the body of the possessed nascent soul. A quarter of an hour later, Bing Li withdrew her divine sense and turned to look at Yun Xi, saying:
"He is an evil cultivator."

Yunxi wasn't surprised at all, and patted Lili's head, saying:
"What does Fellow Daoist Bingli plan to do? Are you going to storm the Cloud Ascension Tower? I am willing to lend a hand."

Seeing Yunxi's eager expression, Bingli rubbed her forehead and said:
"It is currently unclear whether the owner of Dengyun Tower knows that the money tree inside the tower has been replaced, or whether there are other Dengyun Tower disciples who have been affected. We will wait until we find out more about these things."

Yunxi looked at the dazed Nascent Soul and said:

"What do we do now? Young Master Jin Xiu is crippled, how can we investigate? Even if you say that Young Master Jin Xiu was possessed by an evil spirit, what if the Lord of Dengyun Tower doesn't admit it?"

Bingli sneered:

"Then it's not up to him."

He then opened a white porcelain bottle at his waist and flicked a tiny, ice-blue insect, no bigger than a fingernail, into his nascent soul. A moment later, the nascent soul regained its vitality, bowed to Bing Li, and then floated back into his dantian on its own.

After opening his eyes again, Young Master Jin Xiu cupped his hands towards Bing Li and said:
"Owner!"

Bing Li nodded, and without avoiding Yun Xi, directly gave the order:

"I'll give you a month to find out what's going on inside Dengyun Tower."

"Yes, Master."

"Okay, go down!"

"Yes."

Jin Xiu immediately got up and left the main room.

At that moment, Yunxi heard Lili's exclamation in her mind:
“Your Excellency, that is the Ice Soul Frost Cicada, also known as the ‘Puppet Worm,’ a very rare type of Gu worm.”

After hearing this, Yunxi narrowed her eyes and transmitted her voice:

"Lili, keep an eye on things and make sure that Bingli doesn't get those insects on me."

"Don't worry, Master, Lili will keep an eye on her."

After saying that, he turned his head, a glint of light flashing in his large, black, grape-like eyes as he stared intently at Bing Li.

At the same time, Yunxi turned her head and looked at Bingli with her moist almond-shaped eyes, as if waiting for the other party's explanation.

Bingli, feeling the gazes of two pairs of eyes, coughed lightly before speaking:

"Don't look at me like that. I'm a well-informed person and I have my own channels for gathering information. Fellow Daoist Ranxi, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

“Indeed, this is the first time I have ever seen a living ‘Ice Soul Cicada’. Raising such a little thing is not easy.”

Bingli laughed it off:
"A little trick, just to get some cultivation resources."

Yunxi shook her head and said:

“Fellow Daoist Bingli, you are too modest. How can this be a trivial matter? At the very least, Jin Xiu must have realized your identity, which is why he keeps his distance from you. Otherwise, why would he give up on you, this fat sheep, and instead target me, this ‘easy target’ with no background?”
