Chapter 15 Self-created Spell — 7-Step Lock
Senior Brother Chu Lingchuan picked up the letter, opened it, and looked at it with a suspicious expression.
Gao Huohuo asked with a curious look, "Senior Brother, what did the letter say?"
Before Chu Lingchuan could answer, Lou Chongxiao shouted loudly:
"Junior Sister, how come your cultivation level has increased again?"
"Now that you've reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, won't you surpass me very soon?"
Only then did everyone realize that this junior sister's cultivation speed was just too fast!
I've only been in the sect for a day, and I've already caught up with them. No way, I won't be able to sleep at night anymore.
If they don't work harder, they'll feel embarrassed when their junior sister calls them senior brothers and sisters again.
Gao Huohuo, in a good mood, joked, "Don't worry, Eighth Senior Brother, even if my cultivation surpasses yours, I will still call you Eighth Senior Brother."
Chu Lingchuan glanced at his junior sister. Indeed, her cultivation had reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage. That was good; she wouldn't be bullied.
"The sect leader of the Yin Ghost Sect invited my master, saying he had important matters to discuss."
"Then you should go find Master, Senior Brother. I can handle the mission alone today."
"no!"
The unanimous refusal startled Gao Huohuo.
"What's wrong with you all, fellow senior brothers and sisters?"
Chu Lingchuan, fearing Gao Huohuo might overthink things, quickly explained:
“Junior Sister, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone. Last time, Zhang Yitian from the Yin Ghost Sect tried to assassinate you. Today, you should go with your second senior brother.”
Gao Huohuo, who originally wanted to have some fun on his own, had no choice but to agree.
The senior students are so kind to her, she can't refuse them, what should she do?
When the second senior brother, Mu Hanxing, heard that his junior sister was going out with him today, a rare smile appeared on his usually cold face.
"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I'll join you today! I'm also afraid that the Yin Ghost Sect might try to assassinate me."
Lou Chongxiao shamelessly followed, not daring to look Mu Hanxing in the eye.
Fortunately, Mu Hanxing didn't say anything, but she quickly withdrew the smile that had just appeared.
Seeing Lou Chongxiao follow, Gao Huohuo pulled him aside and quietly asked:
"Eighth Senior Brother, you weren't punished yesterday, were you?"
Lou Chongxiao gave his junior sister a complicated look. How should I put it? Well, it was a case of no punishment!
But he always felt that when his junior sister told him the truth yesterday, he might have missed something.
Otherwise, why would the eldest and second eldest brothers insist that it was he who led the junior sister to do these things?
"No, my senior brother said that since it's my first offense, he won't punish me for now, but he'll have to increase my daily workload."
For the next month, I will be handling all your tasks.
Gao Huohuo was secretly delighted, but on the surface he still comforted his eighth senior brother.
"Don't worry, Eighth Brother. You'll stay with me for the next month. I'll definitely do my own work and won't bother you."
Hearing this, Lou Chongxiao was deeply moved. As expected of his junior sister, she was truly loyal.
Shadow Moon Faction.
After everyone left, Chu Lingchuan handed the letter from the Yin Ghost Sect to their master, Shen Cangxuan.
After reading the letter, Shen Cangxuan casually wrote a reply and asked Chu Lingchuan to send it to the Yin Gui Sect.
At the same time, he instructed Chu Lingchuan to have his junior brothers and sisters go to the open space next to the entrance when they returned.
Chu Lingchuan was speechless. Their sect was actually quite large, but his master only built ten courtyards, and the rest were abandoned.
He had mentioned before that he wanted to lead his fellow disciples to build a few more houses and tidy up the sect, but his master refused.
Master's original words were, "Our sect is too poor, so let's not do those fancy things. Just having a place to live is enough."
Nowadays, when people come to discuss matters, they can only sit in the open space, which seems rather ridiculous.
Upon receiving the reply from the Shadow Moon Sect, the Yin Ghost Sect began discussing the selection of participants for this trip.
The sect leader of the Yin Ghost Sect will definitely go, followed by the Third Elder and the Eldest Brother.
Three people—not too many, not too few—showed sincerity without giving the impression of a demonstration.
We can take him there and ask the Shadowmoon Sect if they know anything about this poison. See if they have any similar cases.
Gao Huohuo, who knew about this poison, was catching a rabbit with Lou Chongxiao at that moment.
"Eighth Senior Brother, quick, stop it from that side."
Lou Chongxiao dared not use too much force, afraid that he might crush his junior sister's favorite rabbit and make her sad.
Unfortunately, the rabbit wasn't worried at all and ran away from Lou Chongxiao's grasp in the blink of an eye.
"Ah... my rabbit..."
A burst of spiritual energy swept across, freezing the rabbit in place. Its four legs thrashed about frantically, but it couldn't escape.
Mu Hanxing walked over and brought the rabbit that was trapped on the ground to Gao Huohuo.
"Second Brother, thank you so much! You're really amazing!"
"Junior Sister, do you want to keep this rabbit as a pet?"
Gao Huohuo nodded. "That's right, Second Brother, don't you think this rabbit is cute? It would taste delicious if stir-fried."
Upon hearing this, Lou Chongxiao and Mu Hanxing both froze on the spot.
Didn't my junior sister keep it as a pet? She actually wants to eat it?
"Second Senior Brother, how did you cast that spell just now? Could you teach me?"
Gao Huohuo's voice pulled the two of them back to reality.
Mu Hanxing demonstrated it again in front of her, and Gao Huohuo immediately copied it.
Lou Chongxiao was so surprised that he quickly tried it out. Was it really that simple?
Unfortunately, Lou Chongxiao only succeeded once after trying about ten times.
Mu Hanxing stared at her two junior sisters and junior brothers with disbelief on her face.
Is it true that the younger the age, the higher the talent?
It took him an entire night to learn this spell.
Now, one of them learned it in one go, and the other tried it ten times.
While Mu Hanxing was still in shock, Gao Huohuo quickly devised an improved version of the spell.
"Second Senior Brother, I've modified this spell. Could you check how it works?"
After saying that, Gao Huohuo put the rabbit back on the ground and then cast a spell on it.
As soon as the rabbit landed, it ran around in all directions, but unfortunately it couldn't go far and could only move within a certain range.
Then Gao Huohuo walked a few steps to the side, and the rabbit was moved over with him.
When she came back, the rabbit followed her back.
"Junior Sister, you're absolutely a genius!"
Lou Chongxiao praised with amazement, and Mu Hanxing's face also showed a rare expression.
"Junior Sister, try using your spell on me and see if it works?"
Upon hearing Lou Chongxiao's request, Gao Huohuo was naturally delighted, as she had originally wanted to find someone to try as well.
So a burst of spiritual energy struck Lou Chongxiao, and Lou Chongxiao tried to run away.
But he found that after running a certain distance, he felt something blocking his way, and he couldn't get past it no matter what he did.
Then Gao Huohuo moved a few steps to the side, and Lou Chongxiao was also brought over.
Fortunately, he kept an eye on Gao Huohuo, otherwise he would have been dragged along the ground.
Seeing the eagerness in Mu Hanxing's eyes, Gao Huohuo took the initiative to ask:
"Second Senior Brother, do you want to give it a try?"
After receiving Mu Hanxing's affirmative answer, Gao Huohuo sent out a burst of spiritual energy, only to find that it missed.
What's going on? Does this mean that those with higher cultivation levels can't use this spell?
"Junior sister, let go of the rabbit first, I'll hold it for you, and then we can try again."
Upon hearing his second senior brother's words, Gao Huohuo withdrew the magic from the rabbit and then channeled spiritual energy into his second senior brother.
This time it's fine. It seems that with her Qi Refining stage cultivation, she can only handle two at most at a time.
"Junior sister, I'm going to give it my all this time and try to see if I can break through."
Be careful. If you feel any discomfort, shout it out immediately and I'll stop.
Upon hearing Mu Hanxing say this, Gao Huohuo gave him an OK sign, indicating that he could begin.
Lou Chongxiao rushed over and stood with Gao Huohuo, so that he could protect his junior sister in case anything went wrong.
As a result, even with all her might, Mu Hanxing couldn't get more than seven steps away from Gao Huohuo.
Forget it, I won't humiliate myself any longer. Mu Hanxing stopped trying and turned to learn the new spell from Gao Huohuo.
Lou Chongxiao naturally wouldn't be left behind. After watching Gao Huohuo demonstrate once, the two of them started trying it out.
"Junior Sister, give your newly created spell a name!"
Lou Chongxiao spoke to Gao Huohuo in a spare moment while practicing.
"Then let's call it the Seven-Step Lock."
