Chapter 272: Chapter 270: So It’s You (1st Update)

(Continuing with five more updates today)

“Daoist friend, your eye for detail is keen. Illuminating the shadowless is just one characteristic of the Shadowless Jade. Its true function possesses a strong capacity to break prohibitions. As legend has it, every soul-hooking envoy carries a piece with them, allowing them to freely enter and exit places enveloped by arrays, luring souls.” The Gray-robed man said animatedly.

“These miraculous treasures actually exist in the world.” Shen Luo said in astonishment.

“However, this shadowless jade seems to be contaminated by Yin Qi, it requires some method to expel it.” The Gray-robed man held the gray stone in front of him, stared within the stone, and said with a slight frown.

“Is it very difficult?” Shen Luo asked.

“This jade has a peculiar structure, it’s hard to infuse mana directly into it, let alone expel the Yin Qi inside. Even so, I seized quite a large bargain. I’ll have to slowly find a way in the future.” The Gray-robed man sighed.

“I happen to have something that has this effect. Would you allow me to give it a try?” Shen Luo said after contemplating.

“Really? Many thanks for that!” Hearing this, the Gray-robed man was overjoyed and handed him the Shadowless Jade.

Shen Luo took the jade, reached into his coat, and quickly pulled it out. A piece of green bamboo appeared in his hand, which was the Yellow Springs Bamboo Tube, nearly half shorter than before.

He had just come across an introduction for the Yellow Springs bamboo in the Ghost World Spirit Grass Compendium. This bamboo conceals its power internally and doesn’t lose power even when cut into pieces. Thus, he had previously sliced the bamboo tube in half as a precaution in the small alley.

Under the watchful gaze of the Gray-robed man, Shen Luo placed the Yellow Springs bamboo on top of the Shadowless Jade, but there was no reaction between the two.

“I remember the owner of the Nameless Wild Shop saying that the power of this bamboo can only be activated by infusing a certain amount of Yin Qi into it. But I am not a ghost, where can I get Yin Qi to infuse into this bamboo?” He recalled the words of the Nameless Wild Ghost and was a bit nervous at heart.

“Is it of no use?” The Gray-robed man was somewhat disappointed and asked. He had high hopes for Shen Luo’s bold claim.

“Not necessarily, does the Daoist friend carry any item that contains Yin Qi? This bamboo has the ability to absorb Yin Qi, but it needs to be first infused with a certain amount of Yin Qi to activate it.” Shen Luo asked.

“Yin Qi? I happen to have a Yin-attributed magical instrument. Let’s give it a try.” The Gray-robed man heard the words and took out a half-foot-long black bone sword. He touched it to the Yellow Springs bamboo and drove it with his mana.

The dark bone sword immediately lit up, and a black light soared up. It hit the Yellow Springs bamboo and disappeared inside like mud thrown into the sea.

“Huh!” The Gray-robed man’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Continue to drive the sword, my friend,” Shen Luo said with a joyful face.

The Gray-robed man looked at Shen Luo then continued to drive the bone sword. A steady stream of black light shot out from the bone sword, merging into the Yellow Springs bamboo.

After a few breaths, a spot of black color appeared on the Yellow Springs bamboo and quickly spread out.

“That’s enough, quickly take back your sword!” Shen Luo urgently said, letting go of the Yellow Springs bamboo and the Shadowless Jade, and took a step back.

Although he was not a ghost and didn’t possess Yin Qi, the Yellow Springs bamboo, which had been initiated into the ability to absorb Yin Qi, was really strange. He didn’t want to see if this thing would have any harm on him.

The Gray-robed man saw this, immediately took back the bone sword, and likewise, took a step back.

The Yellow Springs bamboo rapidly darkened and emitted little red lights, projecting onto the Shadowless Jade.

The Shadowless Jade trembled slightly, and then strands of black Qi began to seep out from inside, all of which were swallowed by the Yellow Springs bamboo.

Observing this, Shen Luo and the Gray-robed man both showed expressions of elation in their eyes.

The red light on the Yellow Springs bamboo flickered incessantly, siphoning off a threadlike black Qi from the Shadowless Jade.

The grayness within the Shadowless Jade quickly receded, gradually turning into a creamy white color.

It took a full quarter of an hour before the last strand of black Qi was drawn out from the Shadowless Jade by the Netherworld Bamboo, fully restoring it to its original appearance. It turned into a creamy, lustrous stone. A layer of radiant white light projected out, making it extraordinarily beautiful.

“Daoist friend, your bamboo is indeed miraculous. It has truly absorbed all the yin Qi inside the Shadowless Jade. Thank you.” The man in the gray robe joyously bowed to Shen Luo, then eagerly bent down to pick up the Shadowless Jade.

The color drained slightly from Shen Luo’s face, he was about to warn the other party to be careful of the Netherworld Bamboo, but the man in the gray robe had already picked up the Shadowless Jade. The Netherworld Bamboo beside it didn’t cause any harm.

“Could it be that this bamboo only works on ghosts? This is good.” He thought to himself.

Just at this moment, the Shadowless Jade in the hand of the man in the gray robe suddenly burst into a bright white light, instantly forming a white light group about a zhang in size, enveloping their bodies.

The disguised ghosts on Shen Luo’s body quickly disappeared within the white light group, revealing his true body.

Moreover, the mask from the Ghost Market on his face quickly became transparent, revealing his features. He was suddenly taken aback.

The situation was the same for the man in the gray robe. The Ghost Market mask on his face became transparent, revealing a stunned and pretty face.

Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, and it was Xie Yuxin’s face.

Xie Yuxin also saw Shen Luo’s face, her eyes were slightly wide.

“Elder Brother Xie!”

“Daoist friend Shen!”

Both of them looked at each other in astonishment and exclaimed in surprise.

The white light group emitted from the Shadowless Jade gently fluctuated. Shen Luo’s body didn’t change further, but on Xie Yuxin the gray robe and the Ghost Market Mask suddenly became transparent again, revealing a wonderful body wearing only close-fitting clothes. Her perky buttocks and slim waist, along with the huge round rise of her breasts, almost ripped the close-fitting clothes.

Xie Yuxin exclaimed, her hand immediately flipped, and the Shadowless Jade in her hands disappeared. The white light group also disappeared immediately.

The disguises of the ghosts on their bodies appeared again, and the masks on their faces were as before.

Xie Yuxin stood there, her hands crossed on her chest, anger apparent in her eyes.

Shen Luo also felt very awkward, but he knew that whatever he said at this moment would be wrong, so he had to close his mouth and take a step back.

“I see, the Shadowless Jade has the power to dissolve restrictions. The disguise of these Ghost Market masks forms a prohibition-like secret technique around our bodies. When they encounter the Shadowless Jade, they naturally disappear.” After a good while, Xie Yuxin took a deep breath, calmed down the shame and anger in her heart, and slowly spoke.

“Makes sense, it must be so.” Shen Luo immediately nodded in agreement.

Hearing him, Xie Yuxin glared over but didn’t say anything.

It was her mistake to grab the Shadowless Jade, consciously infusing a surge of mana into it, leading to what had occurred.

She could only swallow her loss.

“After all that, it turns out to be Elder Brother Xie. Your ability to change appearance is indeed clever. I didn’t notice that your disguised gray-robed man was actually a female cultivator,” Shen Luo said, changing the subject to break the awkward atmosphere.

The blackness on the Netherworld Bamboo had faded, turning again into a green bamboo. As he spoke, he bent down and picked it up.

“Small tricks, not worth mentioning. But what about you Brother Shen, what kind of treasure is this green bamboo? It has such a powerful ability to absorb yin.” Xie Yuxin seemed to have calmed down, she glanced at the Netherworld Bamboo.
