Spirit Realm

Chapter 148: You Are Mistaken!

Liang Shaoyang’s face was dark. He tried to move his right arm and found that his bones were frozen as the frost concept that was gathered did not dissipate.

Nodding his head, he did not speak and passed by Tang Siqi. He quickly left this place and disappeared.

—He was in a hurry to expel the cold energy inside his body.

“You managed to force him back?” Tang Siqi’s bright eyes flashed as her lips curved elegantly. “He has created all nine of his Natal Palaces, and you should only have created just three. How were you able to defeat him?” She was extremely interested.

“He had the advantage of attacking first. Also, his body… is far stronger than Shaoyang’s,” the elegant matron said with a faint smile.

Tang Siqi looked with even more shock at Qin Lie. She paused and then spoke, “You were too rash to start a conflict with Liang Shaoyang now. He is not that easy-going.”

Qin Lie did not respond. He looked at Liang Shaoyang’s figure as Liang Shaoyang left with a cold expression.

He knew that Liang Shaoyang would not rest. The reason that he had used everything in his arsenal and used the power of frost and Heavenly Thunder Eradication together against Liang Shaoyang was in order to force him to use something powerful to fight back.

He hadn’t expected Liang Shaoyang to only sustain a small loss and retreat after discovering that half of his body was paralyzed.

Qin Lie became even more wary, and his opinion of Liang Shaoyang rose. He realized that Liang Shaoyang was different than opponents like Wei Li and Du Heng. He definitely was not stupid.

He clearly had the advantage of cultivation, and all nine of his Natal Palaces were filled with power. This Liang Shaoyang had not attacked because half of his body had been permeated by frost concept, so he chose to retreat… this person was not rash.

Qin Lie instantly decided to treat Liang Shaoyang as his strongest opponent.

“Let’s go, A’Hai is inside,” the matron said with a smile in the herb garden.

So Tang Siqi and Qin Lie walked into the bamboo tower.

Inside the bamboo tower, there was a tall and thin, middle-aged man, wearing loose white robes with his hair pinned up. He was sitting in a bamboo chair and reading a book as though he did not care about the conflict between Qin Lie and Liang Shaoyang.

Seeing Tang Siqi come in, he put down the book in his hand and raised his head. He then started talking in a peaceful manner, “It has been a while since you have come.”

“Greetings, Great Elder.” Tang Siqi respectfully bowed.

“Greetings, Great Elder.” Qin Lie also bowed and examined Mo Hai secretly.

Mo Ha’s facial features were long and thin, and his movements were methodical. He was like an old scholar that gave people an old-fashioned and inflexible feeling.

“Did you encounter a wall recently in your artifact forging?” Mo Hai’s brow creased. He glanced at Tang Siqi’s hands and nodded slightly. “You have been relatively diligent as of late and did not slack off. Did you finish what I assigned you?”

Tang Siqi gave a bright smile. “I finished it and did not slack off at all. Great Elder can inspect it at any time.”

Mo Hai’s brow finally smoothed out. His gaze landed on Qin Lie. “Speak, why have you brought this boy to find me.”

“Qin Bing!” Tang Siqi called lowly.

Qin Lie’s expression straightened. With both hands, he handed a sword, a silver spear, and a copper hammer he forged to Mo Hai. “These are artifacts that this disciple has forged recently. Great Elder, please take a look.”

Mo Hai did not reach out to take them. He only looked at them with narrow eyes and then motioned for Qin Lie to put them down.

Qin Lie obeyed and put down the three objects.

“Objects that do not have spirit diagrams will never be considered spirit artifacts. The object is dead, only the spirit diagrams are alive, it is the spirit diagrams that gives an object its soul.” Mo Hai looked at Qin Lie and coldly said, “The objects you have forged are relatively good and barely reach the level of inner sect disciples. But this is not enough to become an inner sect disciple.”

“Great Elder, please instruct me,” Qin Lie requested in a deep voice.

Mo Hai nodded. He picked up the book on the table and tore a random page off, handing it to Qin Lie. “This is a small part of the Materialization spirit diagram. Take it now and study it. I will give you six hours. Six hours later, try to inscribe it on the spirit tablet for me.”
