Chapter 362: Awesome Soul-devouring Needle

Leng Xuan shook his head and said, "I don’t know either, but I’ve crossed hands with him once, and his cultivation level should be at the Initial Fusion Stage."

The Old Master asked, "Did you get injured then?"

Leng Xuan smiled and said, "Before we fought, I played a trick on him." With that, he recounted the incident with Chu Nan in the rapeseed field.

After listening, although the Old Master found it strange that Leng Xuan would have gone to that place, he did not ask further. However, when Leng Xuan mentioned the Soul-devouring Needle, the Old Master became slightly excited. He waited until Leng Xuan finished speaking before saying, "There can be no mistake, the spell that Chu Nan used must be the Ghost King Order, no doubt." Then, looking at Leng Xuan, he continued, "Show me that Soul-devouring Needle!"

Observing the Old Master’s reaction, Leng Xuan somewhat understood, nodded, and took out the Silver Needle Magical Treasure, handing it over to the Old Master.

The Old Master examined it for a while, and couldn’t help but let out a cold "heh" of laughter, saying, "Indeed, it is one of my sworn enemy’s famous magical treasures. But from what you’ve said, it seems he had passed it on to his disciple, yet you managed to get a hold of it, haha."

Leng Xuan had already suspected that Chu Nan and his junior fellow, were very likely people sent by the Old Master’s sworn enemy, but he hadn’t expected the latter to be the man’s disciple. Hearing this, he also couldn’t help laughing, and said with curiosity, "Old Master, is this Soul-devouring Needle very powerful? Why do I feel that the spiritual power on it is very weak?"

"It’s quite normal that you can’t sense it, because it is an evil artifact," the Old Master sighed. "Back in the day, my enemy used the souls of a thousand people to refine this Soul-devouring Needle. It’s steeped in malevolent qi. Once it stabs someone, at best it severely drains their vital energy, and at worst it disperses their soul."

Leng Xuan’s heart trembled slightly. He had heard Uncle Da Zhang mention before that magical treasures could be divided into righteous and evil; righteous treasures are generally distinguished by the strength of the spiritual power, while evil treasures are completely unrelated to spiritual power. Their rank is determined by the strength of their malevolent qi.

Looking at the Old Master, Leng Xuan said, "If this treasure is so formidable, why didn’t that person cultivate it into his Life-bound Magic Treasure?"

The Old Master said, "With treasures of such a Yin nature, few people would cultivate them into Life-bound Magic Treasures because there’s a great chance of it backfiring, with unimaginable consequences."

Leng Xuan nodded, having gained much knowledge from his conversation with the Old Master. Suddenly, another question came to his mind, and he said, "Old Master, there’s something else I find quite strange."

The Old Master replied with a smile, "Just speak up if you have something to say."

Leng Xuan said, "I have also used this Soul-devouring Needle to injure others before, but they didn’t seem to experience the excruciating pain Chu Nan did. It seems as if it was only effective on Chu Nan."

The Old Master asked with curiosity, "The others you speak of, they are not cultivators, are they?"

Leng Xuan shook his head and said, "No, they aren’t."

"There you have it," the Old Master said. "The malevolent qi of this Soul-devouring Needle only affects cultivators."

Leng Xuan gave a wry smile and said, "So that’s how it is."

"Knock, knock, knock!" Suddenly, knocking sounds came from outside, then Ling Xuejiu was heard saying, "Grandpa, what are you and Leng Xuan talking about, having such a long chat!"

The Old Master was startled, then chuckled, having been engrossed in his conversation with Leng Xuan, he had forgotten that Ling Ao and the others were waiting outside. He then stood up and said, "All right, Leng Xuan, we should go out now."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Leng Xuan said, "Old Master, about the sleepwalking issue..."
