Chapter 204 - 204 Soul-Amassing Lamp
204 Soul-Amassing Lamp
Wei Nan looked at Dong Xi with a gentler expression. He said, “Why have you come to find me?”
Dong Xi respectfully cupped her fists and said, “Sect Master, I would like to ask if our sect has a Soul-Amassing Lamp?”
At that time, the giant snake had said that if anything happened to Dong Xi, he would go find the Soul-Amassing Lamp and save her.
Could it be that the Soul-Amassing Lamp could also gather the souls of the dead Senior Brothers, and these Senior Brothers would have a little hope of survival?
Hearing Dong Xi’s question, Song Qingfeng was very surprised.
Wei Nan was also very surprised. He said, “What? The Soul-Amassing Lamp?”
Dong Xi nodded, and Wei Nan continued, “We don’t have one in the sect, but the Masked Moon Sect does. What do you want it for?”
Dong Xi was a little dejected. It would be really troublesome to borrow from other sects.
“Sect Master, this disciple is thinking that if we have the Soul-Amassing Lamp, we might be able to help those dead Senior Brothers and sisters by gathering their souls,” said Dong Xi.
Dong Xi also did not know that she had accidentally created a difficult problem for the Sect Master. The Soul-Amassing Lamp could indeed gather souls, but if souls could really be revived so easily, how could the Masked Moon Sect not use it after so many people had died?
There was a huge price to pay for summoning a soul with the Soul-Amassing Lamp, and it might not even succeed. Even if one were to succeed by luck, it would be extremely troublesome for the soul to return to the physical body.
Wei Nan sighed. “You are very thoughtful, girl. However, the Soul-Amassing Lamp is the treasure of the Masked Moon Sect. If you want to borrow it, you have to be able to afford it.”
Dong Xi knew that many people in the sect lost their lives every day. These Sect Masters and elders might have long been used to it. However, to Dong Xi, those who had been practicing swordsmanship with her two days ago and affectionately calling her ‘Junior Sister’ had lost their lives in the blink of an eye. Dong Xi’s heart had fallen greatly.
Dong Xi only wanted to do her part to save these people. If she tried her best, and she really could not save them, then at least, she would have a clear conscience.
Dong Xi raised her head and said with a firm expression,”Sect Master, is the 30,000 points enough to exchange for a lamp?”
Hearing this, Wei Nan had a whole new level of respect for Dong Xi. 30,000 points was nothing to the Sect Master and elders, but to the disciples, it was a huge sum of money. It was rare for Dong Xi to be unmoved by the money and maintain her heart of sincerity.
Seeing that Wei Nan was still silent, Dong Xi immediately said, “If it’s not enough, I can make up for it by doing alchemy tasks in the future, is that okay?”
Dong Xi was very nervous, and the way she looked at Wei Nan was very serious.
Song Qingfeng thought Dong Xi was too naïve. 30,000 points was indeed a lot, but how could it be easy to gather a soul and revive it?
Just as Song Qingfeng thought the Sect Master would refuse, he saw the Sect Master think for a moment and then look at Dong Xi. The Sect Master said, “Sure.”
Dong Xi’s eyes immediately lit up and she bowed to the Sect Master. Dong Xi said excitedly, “This disciple thanks Sect Master!”
After leaving the Sect Master’s cave, the sea of clouds in the mountains was dyed golden by the sun.
Song Qingfeng’s expression was a bit subtle. He glanced at Dong Xi and said, “Little Girl, is 30,000 points worth it?”
Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng. The sunlight shone on Dong Xi’s body and seemed to cover her with a layer of gold.
Dong Xi laughed openly and said, “These points were all given by the sect. If it wasn’t for everyone’s appreciation, how could I have 30,000 points? This can be considered as taking it from the people and using it for the people!”
If it was not for everyone’s admiration for Dong Xi, she would only have 30 points or so.
Moreover, using these 30,000 points to exchange for sect disciple’s favorability, this deal was a huge profit.
Then, Dong Xi raised her eyebrows at Song Qingfeng. Dong Xi said, “Respected Senior Brother, when you took out those Universe Pills, did Respected Senior Brother think it was worth it? Even for Respected Senior Brother, it was quite an expense, right?”
Song Qingfeng was not used to hearing Dong Xi say ‘Respected Senior Brother’. He rubbed Dong Xi’s hair and saw the seriousness on her face. Dong Xi looked at Song Qingfeng angrily.
At this moment, Song Qingfeng finally felt that she was being genuine. He smiled and said, “Junior Sister, I think you should go and cultivate Buddhism. You might be able to become a Buddha.”
Song Qingfeng had given her a lot of pills, but he had a lot of them, probably more than 10,000 of those pills. However, for Dong Xi’s to give up 30,000 points, she was giving up everything.
Not only that, people in the world of cultivators had very long lives, and their personalities were very cold. It was almost impossible to see people who could do their best for others.
Song Qingfeng had lived for more than 100 years, and he had only met someone as stupid as Dong Xi.
