Just as Su Chun was about to say something, the two ghost beasts suddenly transformed back into ghostly energy and merged together, restoring their cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
Not only that, it roared to the sky, and the evil spirits outside began to attack the formation with greater force. Cracks soon appeared in the formation, and a large amount of ghostly energy seeped in from the cracks and entered the ghost beast's body. The ghost beast's condition actually began to recover.
They finally managed to injure the monster, but it could recover by using the ghostly energy of the space. How could they possibly defeat it?
"Damn it, this guy can still recover. I think he won't be able to wait for you to prepare your methods. This guy isn't an idiot. Although my evil-repelling magic weapon can restrain him, it has a limited number of uses. I just used it once, and I can't waste it here."
Su Chun frowned.
"What methods do you have? If you have stronger methods, then I will assist you from the side while you take the lead."
Su Chun thought for a moment, and then a golden talisman appeared in his hand. The power emanating from this talisman definitely exceeded that of the Foundation Establishment stage, and could at least exert the destructive power of the Core Formation stage.
"Is this a genuine treasure?"
Tantai Yuexi was greatly surprised.
"Hmm, this talisman is called Golden Sun Shining in the Void. Once activated, it can easily annihilate this mid-Foundation Establishment stage ghost beast. However, activation requires a drop of essence blood, which is a bit of a price to pay."
When Su Chun said this, she was implying something.
How could Tantai Yuexi not understand?
Activating a true treasure with a single drop of essence blood will shorten one's lifespan.
"I understand. Here you go. This is the Enhancing Essence Pill. After you finish using the True Treasure, immediately take this pill to restore your lost essence."
Tantai Yuexi took out a bottle of pills from her storage magic treasure, inside which lay a golden pill.
This pill is very valuable; it's a mid-grade pill. Even Ding Yuqin herself only had three on her.
In other words, Su Chun had a Vitality Enhancement Pill, but she didn't want to waste it.
The fact that this woman is willing to offer this shows that she is sincerely interested in cooperating with Su Chun.
“Then there’s no problem, senior. Could you please help hold off this monster for a minute? You should understand that activating a true treasure takes time.”
Tantai Yuexi took a deep breath and then swallowed a blood-red pill.
After the pill was absorbed, her originally pale face immediately became rosy.
"This is a mid-grade pill, the Vitality Pill, which can help users quickly recover their strength and stabilize their injuries."
After recovering, Tantai Yuexi stood up, and a golden light flew out from between her eyebrows, transforming into a golden sword that landed in her hand.
This is Tantai Yuexi's natal magic weapon, the Golden Cloud Sword. Only cultivators at the Core Formation stage can forge natal magic weapons.
However, given her current level of cultivation, she cannot unleash the full power of this natal magic weapon; at most, she can only use two or three tenths of its power. But keeping this ghost beast occupied should not be a problem.
"A natal magic weapon? Looks like they're getting serious."
Tantai Yuexi walked up to Su Chun, her eyes shining with golden light, like a female sword immortal gazing at a ghost beast.
"Get ready, I'm about to make my move."
Su Chun immediately raised her hand and forced out a drop of essence blood from between her eyebrows.
After using this essence blood, Su Chun's originally youthful appearance aged noticeably at a speed visible to the naked eye.
To be precise, he has aged twenty or thirty years and looks like he has entered middle age.
However, Su Chun, who looked middle-aged, had a unique charm.
After absorbing Su Chun's essence blood, Zhenbao immediately floated up and burst out with dazzling golden light above Su Chun's head.
Su Chun closed his eyes and quickly formed hand seals, gradually releasing the power of the treasure.
True treasures differ from talisman treasures; their use involves more complicated steps and is not suitable for use during combat.
The ghost beast sensed the power of Su Chun's true treasure and became noticeably agitated.
She didn't care whether Su Chun had any protective magic items to counteract him; she had to stop Su Chun now.
But just as the demon beast was about to act, Tantai Yuexi appeared in front of it, holding her natal magic weapon.
"Your opponent is me."
Tantai Yuexi uttered a sentence and slashed down with her sword. The power of this strike was so great that even the ghost beast dared not be careless. It hurriedly swung its claws to smash towards Tantai Yuexi's sword light.
The two forces collided, generating an extremely powerful magical shockwave.
After a brief stalemate, Tantai Yuexi was sent flying backward, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, while the ghost beast only retreated a short distance and was not injured.
"Again."
Tantai Yuexi couldn't let the ghost beast interrupt Su Chun's spellcasting, so she could only keep taking the initiative to attack.
But the ghost beast wasn't stupid. It knew that Tantai Yuexi was stalling for time, so after a few exchanges, it also started to fight desperately. Its ghostly energy erupted, and its form changed. Originally, it only had one head, but a second head immediately grew out.
Moreover, his aura had become even stronger.
Upon seeing this, Tantai Yuexi's expression changed, and she quickly looked towards Su Chun.
"Hurry up, this guy is going all out, I can't hold off a few more moves."
Su Chun's true treasure power has been unsealed by 40%, but it will still take some time.
Tantai Yuexi naturally saw this, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue fighting the ghost beast.
However, with each collision, the injuries she had been suppressing with pills would worsen.
Although Su Chun was focused on activating the true treasure, her divine sense was constantly observing Tantai Yuexi's condition.
"It seems this woman has stopped playing tricks, so I can't hold back any longer."
Su Chun began to activate the true treasure with all her might. She had actually held back a bit earlier, hoping that the ghost beast could cause more damage to Tantai Yuexi.
After the eighth round of clashes between Tantai Yuexi and the ghost beast, she was blasted away by the ghost beast's power.
But she rose again, fearless of death, and charged at the demon beast once more.
"Hurry up, I can't hold on any longer."
Tantai Yuexi transformed into a golden streak of light and thrust her sword towards the face of the ghost beast.
The monster opened its mouth and bit Tantai Yuexi's sword, preventing her from advancing an inch.
"this?"
Tantai Yuexi's expression changed. At the same time, the other head of the ghost beast opened its mouth and spewed a ball of ghost fire at Tantai Yuexi.
Tantai Yuexi was forced to release her natal magic weapon and use a defensive magic artifact to defend herself.
But this one blow was enough to render her unable to fight.
"what!"
The power of the will-o'-the-wisp shattered her defensive artifacts, and she was thrown out again, rolling several times on the ground before losing consciousness on the spot.
After defeating Tantai Yuexi, the ghost beast immediately pounced on Su Chun.
Just as the ghost beast was less than three meters away from Su Chun, the talisman above Su Chun's head burst forth with dazzling light, as if a golden sun had appeared.
"die."
Su Chun roared, and the golden sun crashed down on the ghost beast. The ghost beast tried to dodge, but the power of this treasure was too strong, pressing it down so hard that it could not move and could only take the hit head-on.
But he couldn't withstand the power of this true treasure. The golden light gradually devoured the ghost beast, and no matter how the ghost beast struggled, its ghostly body gradually turned into nothingness under this power.
At the same time, the formation collapsed, and the power of the true treasure continued to spread, instantly annihilating those evil spirits and wandering souls.
After Zhenbao's power lasted for more than ten breaths, it began to dissipate, leaving behind only a large area of scorched earth, a panting Su Chun, and the unconscious Tantai Yuexi.
Chapter 35 Obtaining a Great Treasure
Su Chun was squatting on the ground, panting heavily. The price of using a true treasure was truly too severe.
After confirming that the ghost beast had vanished, she quickly took out a Qi-Boosting Pill from her storage magic treasure and swallowed it.
This Enhancing Essence Pill wasn't the one given to her by Tantai Yuexi; it belonged to Su Chun herself. She definitely wouldn't eat something given to her by someone else until she was sure it was safe.
As the effects of the Zengyuan Pill spread throughout her body, Su Chun's depleted essence began to recover, and her appearance gradually returned to its previous state.
Even so, Su Chun was still very weak, her power completely drained. If the ghost beast was still alive, she would probably have to stop here.
Fortunately, after the ghost beast was killed, the remaining wandering souls and weak evil spirits did not attack Su Chun again.
After digesting the effects of the Enhancing Vitality Pill, Su Chun swallowed a Rejuvenating Qi Pill before getting up and walking listlessly toward Tantai Yuexi.
Tantai Yuexi was seriously injured and was completely unconscious.
"Oh well! Even though you lied to me before, I'm still a person who keeps my promises."
Su Chun took out a healing pill from her storage magic treasure and gave it to Tantai Yuexi to swallow. She then used some of her newly recovered magic power to help Tantai Yuexi absorb the medicine more quickly.
She didn't know how much time had passed before Tantai Yuexi regained consciousness. However, when she opened her eyes, she found herself being held in someone's arms, and she was startled.
She quickly looked up at the other person.
"You've woken up and that's how you met me. If it were someone else, they'd probably be eager to finish you off, or at least send you out if they couldn't kill you."
Su Chun noticed as soon as Tantai Yuexi woke up.
Although she had taken Su Chun's pills, her condition was still very poor, and she still had little fighting power.
"Where are you taking me?"
Su Chun immediately gestured towards the front.
"Of course we're going to get the treasure! Let's see what rewards this level gives us; hopefully, we'll find them useful."
Su Chun is currently only interested in treasures that can improve cultivation aptitude or directly increase cultivation level.
After hearing Su Chun's words, Tantai Yuexi was puzzled.
"I don't quite understand what you're thinking. If I were you, I would at most treat the wound, then take the treasure and leave."
Su Chun chuckled.
"There are too many deceitful and treacherous things in the cultivation world. I just want to be a person who does not go against my conscience. Since I have agreed to cooperate with you and share the treasure equally, I will naturally do so. As for what you think, it is none of my business."
These words silenced Tantai Yuexi. She stared at Su Chun's face, trying to see if Su Chun's words were sincere or not.
Unfortunately, she couldn't detect a trace of hypocrisy on Su Chun's face.
"Alright, I was just being cynical. You are special. You are young, yet you have secrets and a heavy heart, but you also have a pure heart. I apologize for my previous behavior."
