245: Pendant?

Wei Shengwu sighed and could only leave helplessly.

Right now, he could only place all his hopes on Su Changqing.

Soon, Wei Ranzhi led Su Changqing into the courtyard, and after closing the door, they passed through a pavilion, a small bridge, and flowing water, arriving at a tower.

This was Wei Ranzhi's residence.

Pushing the door open.

A fragrant scent assailed their noses, and the furnishings in the room were also very simple, showing that Wei Ranzhi was not someone who liked extravagance.

This was Wei Ranzhi's boudoir.

Apart from Wei Shengwu, Su Changqing was the first man to enter this place.

“Su Shengzi, please sit, no need to be polite.”

Wei Ranzhi's pretty face flushed slightly, then she made a gesture to invite him to sit.

Su Changqing smiled and nodded, casually finding a rattan chair and sitting down. Wei Ranzhi sat beside him, facing each other.

“Ran Zhi, tell me, what exactly happened? Why did your True Qi suddenly dissipate?”

True Qi dissipating.

According to the web novels Su Changqing read in his previous life, it was very similar to the protagonist template of a certain 'Breaking the Heavens'.

The protagonist's True Qi dissipates, and then an old grandpa appears.

Therefore, Su Changqing was very curious.

Wei Ranzhi sighed upon hearing this, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. Facing Su Changqing, she had no intention of hiding anything and explained everything in detail:

“A few months ago, my father sent me into our Wei Family's Spiritual Land. That place is where our Wei Family's Legacy has been for countless years. In the Spiritual Land, I gained a lot, not only obtaining the Ancestor's Legacy and making rapid progress in my cultivation, but also acquiring many treasures.

After coming out of the Spiritual Land, my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the Peak of the Supreme Realm, only one step away from breaking through to the Saint Realm.

That day, when I gathered thousands of miles of True Qi to prepare for the Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, I found that my Dantian seemed to be leaking. No matter how much True Qi I poured in, it all dissipated. Not only did the Breakthrough fail, but all the True Qi I had accumulated earlier also dissipated completely on that day.”

When mentioning that day, Wei Ranzhi still felt a hint of fear in her heart.

After all, that day was when she fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

Such a blow was unbearable for anyone.

“Moreover, since that day, no matter how much Spiritual Qi I absorb, it will all dissipate in the end and will not remain in my body at all.”

Saying this, Wei Ranzhi let out a long sigh.

This situation even left a great power like Wei Shengwu, who was in the Late Stage of the Saint Realm, at a loss.

Wei Ranzhi persisted for more than a month, always unable to gather True Qi, and finally, unable to bear the burden, she gave up.

Su Changqing frowned upon hearing this.

What kind of Xiao Yan plot is this?

“Ran Zhi, would it be convenient for me to check your Dantian?”

The Dantian is the most crucial existence for a Martial Artist.

This place is as private to a Martial Artist as a woman's most precious place.

Therefore, when Su Changqing spoke, Wei Ranzhi's pretty face flushed slightly, but she did not refuse. She knew that Su Changqing was doing it for her own good.

She nodded affirmatively.

“Thank you, Su Shengzi.”

As Wei Ranzhi's words fell, Su Changqing did not hesitate. He stepped forward directly, and his Divine Sense dispersed into Wei Ranzhi's body.

Su Changqing's Divine Sense was already terrifying, and coupled with Wei Ranzhi not resisting but instead opening her mind, the Divine Sense entered very smoothly.

“Hmm?”

Su Changqing frowned.

That's not right.

Wei Ranzhi's Dantian had no problems whatsoever.

So, her True Qi dissipating was not due to her own problem, but probably... some external object.

Collecting his thoughts, Su Changqing spoke:

“Ran Zhi, after you entered the Spiritual Land, did you bring anything back from inside?”

Bring back anything?

Wei Ranzhi was stunned, then took out her spatial ring, and then poured out many Heaven And Earth Treasures, Spirit Pills, and some Sacred Artifacts from inside.

“These were all brought back from the Spiritual Land.”

“There's also an Emperor Weapon, but that thing is with my father.”

It has to be said that the Wei Family's Spiritual Land really had some things; there was even an Emperor Weapon inside.

Of course, Wei Ranzhi also truly did not treat Su Changqing as an outsider, and she told him all the details.

Su Changqing nodded slightly upon hearing this.

“Oh, by the way, there's one more thing.”

Saying this, Wei Ranzhi took off a pendant from her neck.

“I saw this object enshrined in the very center of the Spiritual Land. I observed that it should not be an ordinary item, so I brought it back. But after studying it for a period of time, I gained nothing, so I wore it on my body. This thing can have a calming and focusing effect when I cultivate, so I've been wearing it ever since I returned from the Spiritual Land.”

Pendant?

Always wearing it?

Su Changqing took the ancient pendant. It looked simple and unadorned, with no special features.

But at this moment, he was absolutely certain in his heart that this item was definitely not ordinary.

In fact, Wei Ranzhi's True Qi dissipating should be inextricably linked to this thing.

“If I'm not mistaken, your True Qi dissipating is probably caused by this thing.”

As Su Changqing's words fell, Wei Ranzhi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

“It?”

How is this possible?

Although she was surprised, she did not refute Su Changqing.

After all, ever since she put on this thing, her True Qi had indeed slowly dissipated. Of course, the most important thing was that she believed Su Changqing's words.

Su Changqing picked up the pendant, sneered, and then the Burning Sky Azure Flame rose.

The moment the Emperor-level Exotic Fire appeared, the temperature of the entire room increased by several degrees.

And Wei Ranzhi also sensed the terrifying aura.

Even at her Peak, facing this Emperor-level Exotic Fire would make her feel fear, let alone now that her cultivation was completely lost and her True Qi was gone, she naturally felt its terror even more.

The Burning Sky Azure Flame burned on the pendant, but the pendant's exterior showed no change, which was enough to prove that this item was not simple, as it could withstand the burning of an Emperor-level Exotic Fire.

But...

Su Changqing grinned, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

“My Emperor-level Exotic Fire can not only burn objects, but also burn Souls. Old thing, if you don't come out now, I will completely burn your Soul clean, making you Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and turn to ashes!”

As Su Changqing's cold words fell, suddenly, from within the pendant, an old man with white hair and beard hurriedly floated out.

“Wait, wait, wait, kid, you... you, you, don't be impulsive, let's talk nicely, let's talk nicely!”

The old man was clearly anxious, fearing that Su Changqing would burn and scatter his Soul.

Wei Ranzhi was immediately shocked at the sight.

There was actually something in this pendant??

In other words, the reason her True Qi dissipated was because of this old fellow?

“What are you, and why are you hidden in this pendant?”

Su Changqing snorted coldly and spoke indifferently.

The old man said with a smile:

“Don't be in a hurry, young man, you first put away the Exotic Fire, and we'll talk slowly.”

“You have three breaths left.”

Su Changqing narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

He had no good feelings for this old fellow. Hiding in a pendant, playing tricks, and absorbing others' True Qi was not a good thing.
