Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 384: Chapter 382: Such a Huge Life-taking Stone, Interested?

’The mysterious power on the body has mostly been cleared, with only the residual mysterious power remaining in the bloodline.’

Gu Xi quickly made a judgment after checking the corpse of Eldest Princess Anna.

After the purification by Evil Wood Lake, Eldest Princess Anna’s condition had significantly improved.

The golden book page previously integrated into her body had also been extracted. Now the only mysterious influence on Eldest Princess Anna’s body was the part of the blood vessels replaced by plants.

However, for Gu Xi, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Previously, Gu Xi had exchanged Pea Princess’s fate with Eldest Princess Anna’s fate, allowing Eldest Princess Anna to take on the fate of Pea Princess. Now Eldest Princess Anna also had some plant attributes.

Now, Eldest Princess Anna can assimilate and digest this part of the mysterious, instead of rejecting it like the Griffin bones, where the entire bone was expelled.

These are long-term processes, and now Gu Xi isn’t in a hurry.

At this moment, Gu Xi was reaching out to take that golden book page from Eldest Princess Anna.

[Contaminated Magic Book (Gray, Trash): Originating from a twelve-page fairy tale magic book, made of golden pages with words written in silver. Only a fairytale princess can obtain such a book, with each page representing a princess’s story.]

The state of this golden book page left Gu Xi speechless. He felt that since making Eldest Princess Anna swap fates with Pea Princess, even the things around her had changed.

Gu Xi still remembered that Eldest Princess Anna had a Griffin’s Necromancy Book before.

When he first got this golden book page, he thought it was the Griffin’s Necromancy Book.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a fairy tale book.

Sighing, Gu Xi still put away this [Contaminated Magic Book], thinking that even if it were to be given to Eldest Princess Anna in the future, it was a matter for the future. Now, what Gu Xi needed to do was figure out how to cleanse the contamination.

After checking Eldest Princess Anna’s condition, Gu Xi went to several key locations. After confirming Yalidov was functioning properly, Gu Xi then exited Yalidu City.

Thanks to the mysterious mirror image space, Gu Xi can now appear freely in any mirrored corner of the real world.

Thus, he wasn’t in a hurry to go to the Wudou Family. Taking advantage of the relatively decent weather, he once again appeared before the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue.

As players from the other two cities had been completely wiped out, all the undead mage players were recuperating and preparing for the battle later that night, leaving no one to check on the world’s most powerful mystery, Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin.

Standing under the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin, Gu Xi stared intently at the object in Guanyin’s right hand.

Normally, Guanyin, who holds a Jade Purification Bottle, should be holding a willow branch in her right hand.

But this Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin was holding a stone.

Previously, when Gu Xi hadn’t seen it, he didn’t find it odd.

However, after taking and activating a Soul Stone, Gu Xi noticed the uniqueness of this stone.

He suspected that this could very well be a piece of the legendary Life-taking Stone, shattered into nine fragments.

Now, Gu Xi was here specifically to observe.

Standing under the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin, Gu Xi recalled the Order Mages who climbed up the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin on the first day, seemingly unaffected by the Guanyin statue’s attack.

This indicated that some actions, to the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin, don’t count as an attack, at least not enough to provoke a reaction from the Guanyin statue.

If that’s the case, could this be an opportunity to reach for the stone above?

While thinking, Gu Xi kept a close eye on the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin’s hand.

It wasn’t until he felt burning on his wrist that he snapped back to himself, quickly lowering his head.

Glancing at his wrist, blackened by a bracelet formed by the Spirit Lamp, Gu Xi let out a heavy breath.

He never expected that he would actually be hypnotized.

If not for the Spirit Lamp stimulating him, he might have fallen into the trap.

However, Gu Xi was puzzled because the Spirit Lamp wasn’t particularly high-quality equipment, so why did it react at this moment?

Puzzled, he checked and found that the special coins on his left wrist had dimmed slightly.

It seemed this had saved Gu Xi’s life.

This made Gu Xi wary of the Life-taking Stone above.

After lowering his head and thinking, Gu Xi raised his head again, confirmed the location of the Life-taking Stone, then turned to leave.

While walking, Gu Xi quickly took out paper and pen to write a letter.

’Brother Xia, are you interested in the Life-taking Stone?’

After writing, he quickly took out the contact information left by Xia Yi and sent the letter out.

The tool Xia Yi’s group used for communication was a white, swift-sized thing.

At first, Gu Xi was very curious about why Xia Yi’s guild used such an object for communication, to which Xia Yi responded with just one sentence.

”It’s the only normal creature faster than a dragon.”

Other than that, he refused to say more.

As Gu Xi took out the Rain Swift, the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin glanced at him, but the issue was Gu Xi hadn’t initiated an attack, only released a bird. Though it defied logic, it wasn’t attacking others.

As long as no battle occurs, the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin won’t take action.

No matter how illogical Gu Xi’s behavior seemed, he remained safe.

At this moment, Gu Xi also smiled at the direction of the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin.

Before long, an owl returned with a letter.

’Brother Gu, tell me, where is it? I’ll be right over.’

’It’s near the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue. Be careful when you come over, and it’s best to bring something to block hypnosis. I almost got caught just now.’

After Gu Xi sent this reply back, there was no new letter from Xia Yi’s side. About twenty minutes later, Xia Yi came over by taxi.

”Where is it, where is it?”

Running along, he kept muttering.

Gu Xi waved at Xia Yi, noting that in the real world, Xia Yi seemed somewhat changed under the influence of this world’s rules, though the most noticeable was the oversized collar outside his clothing.

A pure golden collar that didn’t look like something a respectable person would wear.

”I say, Brother Xia, what’s with your identity, looking so flashy?”

”Our guild’s rich, we can’t help it. We ended up with the identity of a Guide.”

”Guide? You mean an in-game Guide?”

Gu Xi asked curiously.

”No, a Guide from the Free Information Center. Do you know how embarrassing it is? Never mind, let’s not talk about it. So, where’s the Life-taking Stone you mentioned?”

”The one Guanyin is holding.”

”I...”
