Chapter 118: Chapter 28 Dragon’s Blood_4
Xuan Yue fell silent in thought while Pu Lin, trembling, walked up to the midpoint between Ah Dai and Xuan Yue. While tired and stooped, he was not short. Ah Dai quickly supported Pu Lin by the arm and asked, "Prophet, are you alright?"
Pu Lin shook his head, saying, "You two, listen. From now on, I’m going to teach you the skill to command the Tilu fighters. You must swear not to share this knowledge with others."
Ah Dai bowed his head and said, "Prophet Pu Lin, I...I don’t want to learn."
Pu Lin sighed. Suddenly, his thin, frail hand reached out towards Ah Dai’s chest. Ah Dai was startled but did not resist. His hand had touched the leather bag containing the Sword of Hades through the fabric of his clothing. An icy evil power emanated from the hilt of the sword, instantly chilling the room. Xuan Yue couldn’t help but shiver.
Pu Lin withdrew his hand, seemingly unaffected by the overwhelming evil power, "Child, everything in the world is inherently neither good nor evil. It all depends on how you use them. If used for good, then good. If used for evil, then evil. The Tilu fighters and the evil object on your chest should not exist in this world. But since they do, instead of letting them lie idle or being used by those with ill intentions, why can’t you use them for good deeds? My intention in teaching you how to command the Tilu fighters isn’t to have you leading them anywhere. I only hope that if something happens to our Pu Yan clan in the future, or if our Clan must contribute to an impending doom, you can use these heroes of the Pu Yan Clan to help you. As long as it’s for the right cause, I believe these heroes down in the underworld would die content."
Pu Lin’s eyes emanated a benevolent glow, sweeping from Ah Dai to Xuan Yue. Both felt a warmth wash over them.
Ah Dai bowed his head in silence, while Xuan Yue thought for a moment before saying, "Since you’ve put it that way, let’s get started. I promise you that we will not easily use the noble Tilu fighters unless absolutely necessary."
Pu Lin answered with satisfaction, "Good, I’m glad you understand my intentions. Let’s start. In fact, it’s not difficult to command the Tilu fighters. Although they do not possess souls, they’re not opposed to familiar things. While you are not of our Pu Yan clan, Xuan Yue has my Magic Note and Ah Dai has the Dragon’s Blood. With these two items, learning to wield the Tilu fighters should be much easier for you." Then he proceeded to explain in detail to Xuan Yue and Ah Dai how to command the Tilu fighters.
An hour later, Pu Lin took a deep breath and said, "Everything I can tell you, I have. Your abilities are still too weak to use this technique. Especially you, Xuan Yue. You possess a Holy Physique. If you want to use this technique, you must have Space Magic to support it. After all, the Tilu fighters come from witchcraft, they can also be referred to as Dark Warriors. Whenever you have the chance, make sure you train diligently with the Magic Note I’ve given you, understand?"
Xuan Yue nodded. What Pu Lin had just taught them was essentially how to create the Tilu fighters and the spells to control them. This was all new for Xuan Yue and Ah Dai and was difficult to accept at first. The power of witchcraft is incredibly mysterious, even Prophet Pu Lin only knew the spells to transform into the Tilu fighters.
Pu Lin asked, "Where are you heading after passing through our Pu Yan Clan’s Territory? Can you tell me?"
Xuan Yue glanced at Ah Dai and said, "We’re planning to go to the Death Mountain Range to search for Top-Grade Magic Crystals."
Pu Lin was taken aback, "What? You’re going to the Death Mountain Range? That is one of the most dangerous places on the continent! You really must be brave." After saying this, his face turned solemn, and he quickly drew a six-pointed star in the air while muttering incantations under his breath. It took a while before he stopped. Visibly relieved, he said, "I have calculated for you. Although you will face many dangers on this journey, you should be able to return safely. Just be extra careful."
Ah Dai had already developed a deep trust in Pu Lin. His worries vanished as Pu Lin spoke and asked, "Does that mean we will be able to find the Magic Crystal?"
Pu Lin coughed several times and, somewhat brethlessly, said, "Have faith in yourselves. Have the resilience to overcome all obstacles. Whether you will achieve success is up to you. Go now, it’s time to leave this place. By now, Yan Shi should have almost finished his affairs."
Ah Dai was puzzled and about to ask something when his stomach growled. The food he’d eaten at noon had long been digested.
Xuan Yue giggled and quickly incanted a spell. She conjured a few steamed buns from the Phoenix’s Blood and handed them to Ah Dai, "You must be hungry. Have something to eat. Prophet, would you like some?"
Pu Lin smiled bitterly and said, "I’m sorry, I forgot you two haven’t had dinner yet. Let’s go. After dealing with Yan Shi’s matters, I will make sure the Clan Leader hosts a feast in your honor." With that, he led Ah Dai and Xuan Yue out of the stone chamber. As they exited, the two Tilu fighters did not stop them. Pu Lin said, "These two Tilu fighters are the strongest warriors in our clan, transformed by the strongest warriors hundreds of years ago using witchcraft. They could be considered the kings of the Tilu fighters. Although they may not be as powerful as the Sword Saints of the mainland, the gap isn’t that far. They stand here to protect the records of our Pu Yan clan. Xuan Yue, my Magic Note contains the method of entering this place. It is at the very end. If necessary, you can come here and command them." With that, he walked ahead. As Xuan Yue and Ah Dai’s gaze swept over the Tilu King-figter, their eyes saddened.
