Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

Yin Liuli nodded.

"The barrier is one of the secret techniques of Taoism. In cultivation, true qi or talismans are used to set up an array, which is hidden in the space and isolated from external interference."

Therefore, ordinary spells cannot detect it; only blood curses can be used to locate it.

The prime minister's expression tightened. "What is the Blood Curse Tracking?"

"We are family, connected by blood, and inextricably linked."

Yin Liuli said with a cold look in her eyes,

"Only by using the blood of a loved one as a catalyst, a talisman as a medium, and borrowing the energy of heaven and earth, can one break through the barriers of the five directions."

The prime minister and Zhou Qingdong exchanged a glance, both of them seemingly understanding but not quite.

He said anxiously,

"As long as there is a way, I will listen to the female envoy in everything!"

I am Tang'er's biological grandfather. I wonder if my blood could be used?

As he spoke, he eagerly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his wrist to Yin Liuli.

Yin Liuli gently shook her head.

"My lord, please don't be in a hurry, I still have something to say."

Although the Blood Curse Tracking Technique is universally effective, it is actually a forbidden technique of the Taoist sect. Do you know why?

"A forbidden technique of the Taoist sect?"

Zhou Qinggong gasped and asked nervously, "It's clearly a good way to find relatives, so why is it listed as a forbidden technique by the Taoist sect?"

"Liuli, what's the connection here? Is it... that casting this spell is bad for people?"

The prime minister's face tightened. "What does it matter? All I care about is finding Tang'er!"

Yin Liuli glanced at him and said quietly.

"Lord Zhou is right, this magic is very harmful to those searching for their relatives."

Using blood as a guide involves flesh and blood, but it consumes the vital energy of living people.

If one's vital energy is deficient, one's lifespan will be shortened.

Zhou Qinggong took a deep breath and exclaimed in surprise,

"You mean, if I use my master's blood to perform magic, my lifespan will be shortened? And by how much?"

The prime minister's expression immediately turned grave.

"Yes, it is because it shortens people's lifespan and goes against the natural order that this method is listed as a forbidden technique."

Yin Liuli said calmly,

"As for how much lifespan is lost, it varies from person to person and depends on the number of days."

Those with abundant blessings may only suffer loss for a day, a month, or a year.

Even with bad luck, losses can last for three, five, or even ten years.

"Don't be afraid to frighten you two, but my master once performed a blood curse tracking spell on someone. The person's child was found, but the caster died on the spot."

Zhou Qinggong was taken aback and said awkwardly,

"You could say that person was unlucky. Fortunately, the child was found..."

Yin Liuli said casually,

"The child was carried up the mountain by wolves, and when they found him, all his internal organs had been ripped out."

The blood curse searches for the dead, regardless of life or death.

As soon as he finished speaking, the main hall fell into a deathly silence.

She made it very clear that if the spell were cast, the person brought back might not be alive.

However, the lifespan consumed will not be reduced in the slightest.

The prime minister's face turned pale instantly, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his eyes churned with complex emotions that were hard to fathom.

Zhou Qinggong kept wiping away cold sweat, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

As human beings, who doesn't value their own life and who doesn't want to live a long and healthy life?

The prime minister is a veteran of two dynasties, holding a high position, second only to the emperor.

His status, wealth, and glory are things that ordinary people can hardly achieve.

The more a person has, the more important they are to their lifespan.

After all, only those who live long can enjoy the wealth and luxury that others can only dream of!

The reason Yin Liuli was so direct in telling him about the consequences of casting the spell was so that he could weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

"Miss Liuli..."

After a long silence, the prime minister exhaled and slowly said, "In your opinion, am I a man of great fortune, or simply unlucky?"

A deep expectation flickered in his dark eyes.

Yin Liuli simply uttered four words.

"The outcome is unpredictable."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the prime minister's eyes.

"If you are unsure, my lord, you may return to your residence first and come to see Liuli again when you have made your decision."

Yin Liuli said calmly, "Liuli can only help you this far, sir."

"Miss Liuli, is...is there really no other way?"

The prime minister's eyes were now bloodshot, and he staggered, his voice trembling, "It's not that I'm unwilling to save Tang'er, but this..."

Yin Liuli shook her head.

"Please take care of yourself, dear teacher!"

Zhou Qinggong quickly helped him up and carefully advised, "This matter is difficult to decide in a short time. Why don't you return to the manor first, and have your master, mistress, and Tang'er's father discuss it properly before making a decision?"

"If we make a decision now, it will be too late!"

The prime minister shoved him aside and slumped into his chair, his once dignified face appearing to age ten years in an instant.

"Tang'er's biological mother died in childbirth after giving birth to her."

She was such a tiny, pink doll that I held her in my arms, and she grinned at me while biting her little fist... I would melt even if I were a stone!

Her grandmother and I were afraid she would be mistreated by her stepmother, so we took her in and raised her from the time she was weaned until she was this old.

Now that she is missing, Qing Gong, how can I... how can I bear to do this...

Zhou Qinggong's eyes reddened as he listened, and he sighed, saying...

"I know that my esteemed teacher and his wife have cherished Miss Tang like a precious jewel over the years, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, the prime minister, leaning on the chair and table, swayed as he stood up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Yin Liuli.

"Miss Liuli, I have made up my mind. I will use my blood to cast the spell!"

Whether Tang'er lives or dies, I, as his grandfather, cannot fail my son!

Zhou Qinggong was greatly alarmed.

"My dear teacher, please think it over! There must be another way, there must be..."

"It would be better to let Tang'er's father do it; he's still young..."

"You know my good-for-nothing son perfectly well!"

The prime minister gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "All he does all day is indulge in debauchery with his wives and concubines!"

As for blessings, I followed the late emperor into battle when I was young and helped the emperor solve his problems in the court!

What has he done for my Great Chang Dynasty? What has he done for the Emperor and the people?

Yin Liuli gave the prime minister an appreciative look.

His words were full of disappointment and frustration, but in his heart he was fiercely protective of his son.

The deep love of parents is truly touching.

"This is to inform Your Excellency the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices!"

A man dressed in the uniform of a Dali Temple official rushed in, knelt down, and reported.

"The secret guards have sent word that they have searched the entire area within a ten-mile radius of the capital, but have not yet found any trace of Miss Shen."

The prime minister's face was gloomy, and his tightly furrowed brows twitched violently.

Zhou Qinggong waved his hand helplessly.

"Understood, you may leave."

"Has the master really made up his mind?"

Yin Liuli asked softly, "If I decide, I will do my best."

A look of sorrow settled on the prime minister's face, but his gaze remained resolute as he spoke.

"I have made my decision. I beg Miss Liuli for your assistance! Whether I live or die in the future, I will remember your kindness!"

With that, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Yin Liuli.
