Chapter 670: Holding White Tiger Mountain Accountable, Something's Off with the Spirit Stone Mine! (2)
“Father, do you know where Sister Ruyi is?”
Lu Yun asked, somewhat surprised.
“Mm, I have my ways.”
Lu Changsheng said softly, nodding his head.
He then returned to Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, into the Talisman Room, holding a Talisman Brush. He took out a Third Rank Talisman Paper and began crafting a talisman.
He possessed the Ninety-Nine Mystical Talisman Scripture, which encompassed a wide array of techniques.
...Among them was a talisman called ‘Blood Tracking Talisman.’
The user could use their own blood to make the talisman direct them to the person connected by blood.
Three hours later.
The talisman table surged with mana, erupting in a burst of blood-colored Spiritual Light.Then the light receded, leaving only a mysterious and complex rune flowing slowly.
“Phew! Finally, it’s done!”
Lu Changsheng exhaled a long breath, picked up the talisman, and walked out of the Talisman Room.
“Lord, Changsheng.”
Ling Zixiao and Lu Miaoge had also learned of Lu Ruyi’s situation and came forward to express their concern.
This was the first time Bihu Lake Mountain had encountered such an incident, and they had to attach great importance to it.
“This talisman is called ‘Blood Tracking Talisman.’ It can find Ruyi’s location by using our bloodline as a guide.”
Lu Changsheng showed a hint of a smile when he saw the two women.
Then, walking out of Mount Sumeru Cave Heaven, in front of the two women, he smeared his own blood onto the talisman to activate it.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
However, as soon as the talisman was activated, it started swirling around on its own.
One moment it pointed towards Bihu Lake Mountain, the next towards Ruyi Prefecture.
“Ah, this…”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat speechless at the sight.
He thought to himself, what kind of trash talisman is this to be ranked as Third Rank?
It’s not at all sensitive!
“Cough, cough.”
He coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, then went to Bi Yun Peak to find Lu Ruyi’s mother and smeared a drop of her blood on the talisman.
Suddenly, the Blood Tracking Talisman was suffused with a faint Spiritual Light, indicating a direction.
“I can go by myself.”
Lu Changsheng told Lu Miaoge, Li Feiyu, and others.
After that, he rode a purple flying shuttle, following the guidance of the Blood Tracking Talisman, left Bihu Lake Mountain to search for his daughter, Lu Ruyi.
…
In a desolate wilderness.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
Lu Ruyi, seeing that the Bear Demon had not pursued her, immediately sat down to rest against a large tree, taking deep breaths to recover.
These few days of wilderness survival had given her a profound understanding of the difficulties normal cultivators faced.
Before this, she knew her brothers and sisters had better conditions than most Loose Cultivators.
But she never imagined that without Magic Artifacts, Elixir Medicines, talismans, and Spirit Stones, surviving alone was so difficult.
At first, when she encountered a First Grade, Early Stage Demon Beast, she relied on her Sixth Level Energy Refinement cultivation to kill it.
But after killing it, she realized a problem.
She now had no Spirit Stones or Elixir Medicines, and restoring Spiritual Power was very slow and troublesome.
In the following times, she did her best to avoid confrontation.
Fearing that her Spiritual Power would be depleted and attract other Demon Beasts.
For food and drink, she only dared to pick some wild fruits she recognized and quietly hunted a few wild animals to make do.
“The Family Token is gone too, I wonder if my family can find me…”
Lu Ruyi looked around at the lush foliage and towering ancient trees, her lips tightly pursed, feeling powerless.
Through these days, she realized that she was still in the Black Cloud Mountain Range.
Although Black Cloud Mountain Range was not particularly dangerous,
her current condition made it very difficult to escape.
Especially now that the Zhao Family of White Tiger Mountain was surely searching for her.
If she had a Storage Bag with a Magic Artifact or talisman at hand, she could ride the Iron Feather Eagle back home or send a message and wait for rescue.
After all, with a Magic Artifact or talisman at hand, not to mention a First Grade, Early Stage Demon Beast,
even if she encountered a Late Phase of First Order Demon Beast, she would have some confidence.
But without Magic Artifacts, talismans, Spirit Stones, or Elixir Medicines, she was truly at a loss.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle—”
Just then, she heard the sound of the wind rustling through the grass from afar.
Lu Ruyi immediately tensed up, held her breath, and concealed her aura, staying still.
In earlier years, she had learned wilderness survival knowledge at Qingzhu Mountain and Bihu Lake Mountain.
But all that had been theory, and she had never truly experienced it.
The night before last, she was nearly killed by a Demon Beast that had approached while she was resting.
Thankfully, the auto-defense of her vestment robe narrowly saved her life, making her apprehensive and constantly vigilant.
“Phew!”
After a while, when Lu Ruyi saw no danger, she let out a sigh of relief and found a cave to rest in.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
Not long after, she suddenly heard noises outside, with the sound of eagle cries and birds chirping, so she quickly hid.
“Ruyi!”
Just then, she heard a familiar voice calling.
“Daddy…”
Upon hearing this voice, Lu Ruyi felt as if she was dreaming, thinking she was hallucinating.
These days, she had thought countless times about her father or someone from home coming to rescue her.
But she knew, with her Storage Bag taken away and without the Family Identity Token, her family had no means to find her.
But the next moment.
She saw a figure, tall and slim, dressed in a cyan Magical Robe, with handsome features and gentle eyes filled with concern, appear at the entrance of the cave.
“Ruyi.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes immediately revealed tenderness as he saw his daughter’s condition.
He knew that she must have suffered a great deal during these days.
“Daddy, wu wu wu…”
Lu Ruyi finally snapped out of her daze, knowing that her father had truly come for her. She rushed into Lu Changsheng’s arms, hugging him tightly and crying in his embrace, her voice filled with grievance.
All the fear and suffering of these days burst forth at that moment.
She was not one to be timid or helpless.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have volunteered to manage affairs outside, handling the family’s business cooperation.
What do you think?
