Chapter Fifty Questions

  "Shi Ruwen!" Su Qiruo was already gritting her teeth, "How long do you want to drag me along with your madness?"

  "If you want to leave, just leave!" Si Ruiwen replied indifferently, "I'm not stopping you either!"

  "I'm leaving? How can I leave!" Su Qi's eyes widened in anger, there is a barrier here, you know it but still ask!

  "You break the seal, or," Si Ruiwen glanced at the fox and said, "you go find the fox to open a door for you, anyway he wants to keep is his master, and he won't stop you from leaving."

  "Good!" Su Qi replied crisply, thinking to herself that she should have let the fox open a door for her long ago. As she thought this, she strode towards the fox, who happened to turn around and look at her. However, the fox had now transformed into an emaciated old woman with a hunched back, a face full of wrinkles like tree bark, and a few strands of grayish-white hair that seemed about to be blown away by the wind at any moment. This old woman, who looked as if she was on her last breath, had eyes that were originally dull and lifeless but now shone with an extremely sharp gaze, making one feel uneasy and chilled just by looking at her. The old woman's appearance made Su Qi wonder if she was possessed by a ghost or was a witch who delighted in practicing black magic.

  Su Qi was startled by the old woman in front of her, and her imposing manner suddenly dissipated. Her footsteps, which had originally been bold, also retreated. Although she knew that the old woman was a transformed fox spirit, why did she still look so eerie?

  Su Qi Ruo turned around and walked towards the seal, trying to see if she could open it. Su Qi Ruo placed her hands on the seal, and the soft feeling was like placing her hand on a cotton ball. She tried to use her spiritual power to push it, but the seal moved back, making Su Qi Ruo's strength unable to find any traction, just like using all her strength to punch a cotton ball, only to have it dissipate instantly. Su Qi Ruo furrowed her brow, she had never encountered such a strange seal before. Previously, when she came into contact with Lu Ke's seal, the power of the seal was extremely strong, and touching it felt like running into a thick wall. Su Qi Ruo thought that all seals were like this, but now that she had encountered Hu Li's seal, Su Qi Ruo didn't know what to do for a moment.

  Is such a gentle power really enough to bind people when applied to the seal? Su Qi'er thought as she took a step forward, and the seal followed her, moving backward. The gentle feeling was like there was an air wall in front of her, which she could clearly feel but couldn't touch. Hmm? Can this seal expand indefinitely? Su Qi'er curiously continued to take steps forward.

  "Don't move!"

  "Huh?" Su Qi'er followed the sound and looked over, only to see a robust man with a tiger's back and bear's waist standing on the half-mountain slope. The man's muscles were as solid and prominent as those of a powerful sailor, but unlike the sailor, he didn't have a warm and gentle face. Instead, he had a fierce appearance that was no less intimidating than the Raksha ghosts in the underworld, with a scar above his left eyebrow that stretched to the corner of his mouth, adding an air of evil to his already menacing face. This man must have been a bandit or a thief in his previous life!

  Su Qi Ruo patted her heart and asked herself, from childhood to adulthood, she had never seen such a fierce person. Even the actors in movies and TV dramas couldn't compare to the ferocity of the big man in front of her. "Uh... okay." Su Qi Ruo forced out a sentence, after all, she couldn't be intimidated by appearances alone, could this fox be doing it on purpose? Was he deliberately trying to scare people with his appearance?

  Shi Ruwen looked at Su Qi's embarrassed face and thought it was funny, so he kindly explained, "The boundary relies on power to support it. Do you think this boundary can be infinitely expanded? The range of the fox boundary is fixed, oh! If you walk a little further in that direction, the boundary will move with you. If you keep going, the fox will leave the boundary!"

  "No wonder," Su Qi said to herself, "I thought this seal could be infinitely expanded and its power would have nowhere to vent!"

  "If you're strong enough, it's not impossible!" She Ruiwen sat on the stone, leaning on one hand and staring at Su Qi with a bored expression. The waiting time was so boring that if there was no Su Qi, she couldn't even find anything interesting to do.

  "Where is such great power." Su Qi said casually.

  It's not like it doesn't exist! Shu Ruiwen gazed at Su Qi, water was everywhere, using water as a prison, and there couldn't be a better seal in the world. It's just that you'll never know, thinking of this, Shu Ruiwen smugly curled up the corners of his mouth.

  Su Qi'er faced the seal again, thinking carefully. The soft power of the Gentle Fist couldn't be countered with brute force, so what kind of power could break it? Su Qi'er placed her hands on the seal once more, trying different strengths and speeds. After multiple attempts, she finally realized that the seal was like water - even extreme strength couldn't leave a mark, but if she struck it at an extremely fast speed, she could leave a mark, just like breaking through the surface of the water with her hand. As long as the speed was fast enough, she could see the ripples on the water's surface.

  Su Qi Ruo suddenly became excited, eager to put her idea into practice. However, she couldn't use pure spiritual energy to attack and had to rely on water as a medium. Water, where could she find some around here? Su Qi Ruo looked around but didn't see any signs of water, what a pity, why hadn't she brought a bottle of mineral water when she came out?

  Su Qi Ruo's originally excited expression instantly fell, and after finally finding a subject to practice on, deepening her understanding of spiritual power, she couldn't actually practice. Was such a great opportunity going to slip away in vain? Su Qi Ruo unwillingly paced back and forth within the barrier, thinking of a solution.

  Got it! Su Qiruo finally thought of a feasible method. When she changed the water vein for the Land God in Li's Village, she used her spiritual power to draw out the underground water vein. Why not try that method now? Draw out some underground water with spiritual power and then apply it to the seal. That should work! And this time, it's not a big project like changing the water vein, just drawing out a little water for experimentation is enough, it shouldn't require too much spiritual power.

  Thinking of doing it, Su Qi Ruo happily squatted down and covered her hands on the ground, carefully feeling the changes in the spiritual energy. She tried to inject the spiritual energy into the ground to find the water vein. It's unclear whether it was due to her previous experience of changing the water vein, but Su Qi Ruo felt that her control over the spiritual energy had become more agile. The spiritual energy seemed to have gained a life of its own, and with just a thought from her, it could change according to her wishes. If she tried to use the spiritual energy more often, would her grasp on it become even more proficient? This idea flashed through Su Qi Ruo's mind, but she didn't have the energy to think too much about it. For now, she needed to focus on bringing the underground water to the surface.

  Shi Ruwen gazed intently at Su Qi's every move, now her control over spiritual energy was obviously better than before. This could only mean that her inheritance had awakened further. At this rate of development, it would become increasingly difficult to deal with Su Qi. It was necessary to solve the problem within a controllable range! However, Shi Ruwen narrowed his eyes, the dead scorpion's reaction in the Star Array was too strange. Last time, he didn't notice while thinking about his opponent, but now that he thought back, the scorpion clearly didn't want to make a move on Su Qi. Why? Had the scorpion discovered something that he hadn't noticed? What exactly was going on between the dead scorpion and Su Qi? He had to figure it out.
