Chapter 192 Su Mo, So Embarrassed He'd Dig His Toes into the Ground
Seeing that everyone had started cultivating in perfect unison, Chen Wan'er then found a secluded and quiet place.
He sat cross-legged, slowly circulating his spiritual energy, and began to fully cooperate with Gao Huohuo's actions in the Demon Clan.
Upon closer observation, she realized more and more clearly that the demon cultivators of the demon race were extremely powerful as a whole.
If these six members of the demon race were to rashly venture into the demon realm, they probably wouldn't even last two days.
After Gao Huohuo and his six companions successfully escaped from the arena, they immediately found a secluded place to rest.
However, the spiritual energy in the demon realm is extremely thin, which has caused great distress to everyone.
At the critical moment, Gao Huohuo generously took out a spiritual energy bead for everyone to cultivate and recover.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Gao Huohuo's mind:
If the special formation that I obtained by chance were used on a demonic cultivator, could it also be used to extract spiritual energy beads?
Thinking of this, she quickly pulled Zhao Feiyue aside and whispered:
"Sixth Senior Sister, I have a question about formations that I'd like to ask you. Would it be convenient for you to answer it for me now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyue's face instantly lit up with a joyful smile, and she nodded vigorously.
You see, this was the first time her junior sister had ever spoken to her alone, so how could she not be happy?
The two found a corner away from Zhong Hanshang, and Gao Huohuo took out the formation without reservation, explaining its origin and function in detail.
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Feiyue immediately understood and guessed her intention:
"Junior Sister, are you trying to extract a spiritual energy bead from a demonic cultivator using this formation?"
Gao Huohuo's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded vigorously.
He secretly marveled: Sixth Senior Sister is really amazing. I had only just explained the purpose of the formation, and she had already accurately guessed my thoughts.
She was initially worried that her sixth senior sister would find her formation somewhat insidious.
Unexpectedly, her sixth senior sister didn't ask any questions, but wholeheartedly helped her fulfill her idea.
It seems she has paid far too little attention to her sixth senior sister in the past.
Soon, Zhao Feiyue devoted herself wholeheartedly to modifying the formation.
Gao Huohuo watched attentively from the side, occasionally asking a question or two.
Just then, Chu Lingchuan came looking for them.
Seeing the two of them working diligently on the formation, I couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Junior sister, what are you two doing here?"
"Speaking of formations, your second senior brother is quite skilled in them too. Why don't I call him over so we can study them together?"
Coincidentally, Mu Hanxing walked over just as Chu Lingchuan finished speaking.
"Junior sister, if you need my help with anything, just say so."
As soon as he entered, Mu Hanxing's gaze was drawn to the array that Zhao Feiyue was studying.
Instantly intrigued, he joined the research team.
The two were seen studying the material carefully and discussing it enthusiastically.
Mu Hanxing, who is usually very sparing with words, suddenly became quite talkative.
Meanwhile, Gao Huohuo suddenly received a distress message from his fourth senior brother, Su Mo, transmitted through a supernatural power:
"Junior Sister, where did you all go?"
I really don't want to be alone with Zhong Hanshang.
He always had a stern face, so serious it made me feel uncomfortable and too nervous to relax.
Please come back soon!
Gao Huohuo couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the message.
Normally, Zhong Hanshang, as a righteous genius, is the object of everyone's admiration.
Unexpectedly, being with the Shadow Moon Faction members caused them to be looked down upon.
Gao Huohuo replied with a smile, "Fourth Senior Brother, this is a rare opportunity to be alone."
You can take this opportunity to ask him some questions about cultivation, isn't that great!
Upon seeing the message, Su Mo thought: Well, this is not a bad way to break the awkward situation.
So he rehearsed it in his mind many times, thinking about how he should start the conversation.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, may I ask you a question about cultivation?"
Su Mo muttered to himself, "No, this is too direct. Won't it seem too abrupt?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, are you available now? I have some questions about cultivation that I would like to ask you for advice."
Su Mo tried another sentence, but still felt it wasn't quite right; it felt too wordy.
Just as he was struggling with this, Su Mo looked up and saw Zhong Hanshang turn around, seemingly wanting to say something to him.
In a moment of nervousness, Su Mo blurted out:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, I am available now. You can ask me questions about cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang was stunned, his face filled with confusion.
She stared blankly at Su Mo, not reacting for several seconds.
After a long while, he finally spoke:
"I don't have any cultivation-related questions to ask you right now. I just want to ask where your junior sister and the others went?"
Upon hearing Zhong Hanshang's reply, Su Mo's face instantly turned bright red.
I wish I could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it to hide my embarrassing state.
He's already at the Nascent Soul stage, what cultivation matters could he possibly need to ask him?
His eyes darted around nervously, and his hands unconsciously rubbed together.
Their fingers were intertwined, their fingertips turning slightly white with tension.
It felt like walking on needles and thorns, and I stood there stiffly.
Finally, unable to stay any longer, he said something.
"I'm going to find my junior sister and the others."
Then he ran away.
Zhong Hanshang was left alone, standing there somewhat puzzled.
He didn't say anything, did he? He really didn't have any questions about cultivation to ask him.
Not long after, Gao Huohuo and his group returned.
Zhong Hanshang walked to Su Mo's side and said earnestly:
“Fellow Daoist Su, I really didn’t have any questions about cultivation to ask you just now.”
But please rest assured, if I need anything in the future, I will definitely ask you for advice as soon as possible.
Su Mo, who thought the matter was over, was now so embarrassed that he felt like he was digging his toes out of his pocket.
Chu Lingchuan and the others looked at each other, completely baffled as to what the two of them were up to.
Only Gao Huohuo managed to suppress the urge to smile and quickly changed the subject:
"From now on, we can no longer operate in the demon territory as humans; it's too easy to be exposed."
Therefore, we need our fourth senior brother to craft some items that can conceal our identities, and ideally, also hide our spiritual power during combat.
Upon hearing that he wanted to forge artifacts, Su Mo immediately became interested:
"Junior Sister, wouldn't it be best if we could emit demonic energy from our bodies, so that when we fight, it would look like we're using magic?"
Gao Huohuo nodded approvingly; his fourth senior brother was indeed exceptionally talented in weapon crafting.
"Everyone, please continue your cultivation. Do not go out until Fourth Senior Brother successfully refines it."
I'll have Hao gather information for us outside."
Ever since he created the formation, Gao Huohuo couldn't wait to test its effects.
She found a secluded spot and clicked on the cheerful name on the system.
Lang, who was taken away by Hao, initially planned to find a chance to escape.
After all, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, dealing with Hao, a minor character in the Enlightenment stage, would be effortless for him.
At first, Lang secretly exerted his strength, trying to break free from the puppet talisman's control over him.
Just when they were about to succeed, Hao led him to another place.
Seeing Hao leave, Lang felt that his last chance had come.
He used all his strength and finally broke free from the restraints of all the talismans.
