Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"How can you act rashly when the immortal has not been sent away yet?"

Bai Han's words were suddenly spoken through Bai Shang's mouth, his tone was cold and carried a strong pressure, which made Ying's movements stagnate. Fortunately, the black snakes that appeared on Gui Yan's face were also affected by this pressure and quickly disappeared.

Ying didn't dare to act rashly. She glanced at Bai Shang and found that his face was pale and his eyes were closed, as if he was in great pain.

The entire hall fell into a brief silence. After a while, Bai Han's figure became blurred again, while Bai Shang's face returned to normal.

The next second, the magic circle under everyone flickered, and Bai Han's figure was like scattered sand and falling rain, disappearing in an instant and merging into the magic circle.

"Hu——" Bai Shang let out a long sigh. Some barely noticeable wrinkles appeared on his originally young face, and his voice seemed to become even older.

"It was really dangerous just now."

"Old Bai?" Ying called out cautiously, "What happened just now? Did I do something wrong?"

"No," Bai Shang shook his head and adjusted his breathing a little. "It's not your fault. There are some rules that you don't know. Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand what you should do."

After saying that, he turned to look at Sanger again: "Thank you for bringing them here, Sanger."

Sang didn't expect the elder to suddenly speak to him, and coupled with what had just happened, he suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Uh, no, it's not hard." Sanger pulled the corner of his mouth, and then added, "This is what I should do."

"I remember you have to report to Zhao Yuan's team today, so I won't delay you."

"Ah, oh oh!" After hearing this, Sangge realized that the elder wanted him to leave, which meant that the following things were not what the elder wanted him to know, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then elder, I'm leaving. Miss Ying, Miss Guiyan, please take care."

Ying nodded, Guiyan looked confused, and neither of them spoke.

After Sangge left, the elder continued:

"As you said before, the cultivators who have reached the Earthly Immortal Realm or above - what people generally call immortals - are either dead or possessed by demons."

"But nothing is absolute. There are still many loopholes in this world that can be exploited."

"For example, becoming a ghost?" Ying asked tentatively.

"Yes and no." Bai Shang said in a mysterious tone.

So can you please explain it quickly? Ying complained in her heart.

She felt that Bai Shang always liked to say only half of what he said, and would wait a while before saying the other half.

So Ying didn't continue asking questions, she just looked at Bai Shang silently, and the other party also looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if hoping that she would continue asking questions.

After another period of silence, Bai Shang coughed twice awkwardly.

"Senior Bai Xian's soul is now separated from his body. It was his soul that talked to us just now. If we only look at his soul, he is indeed a ghost. But if we look at his body, he is not dead, so he is naturally not a ghost."

"So it means the soul leaves the body?" Ying suddenly realized.

Bai Shang smiled and said, "Yes, I see that you are a visitor from another world, and you are dressed so strangely. I thought you didn't have such a saying there. Now it seems that I was the one who had a preconceived notion."

"There is a place called Liyue in Teyvat. There are many legends about immortals there. I have even seen several of them."

"Oh?" Bai Shang's eyes lit up when he heard it. "Yes, yes, we also have stories about fairies descending from heaven to earth."

After expressing their feelings a little, Bai Shang and Ying returned to the main topic.

"Does that mean that as long as we separate the physical body and the soul in advance, we can avoid being possessed by a demon?" Although Ying asked this, she knew that things were not that simple.

"This is just a stopgap measure."

"After the soul is separated from the body, a special spell needs to be used to seal the soul and divide it. In this way, although the resistance of each part of the soul to the evil spirit will become weaker, it can effectively slow down the speed at which the entire soul is eroded."

"But if the two are separated, the physical body will continue to decay. After a long time, the physical body will disappear, and the immortal will become a real ghost. The parts of the soul that have been corroded will be forcibly merged with the rest of the soul. At that time, the immortal will be completely corroded by the evil spirit in an instant."

It sounds like possession is almost unavoidable.

Ying frowned and continued to ask, "What did Senior Baixian mean by 'How can we act rashly before sending the immortal away'?"

"When he said this, it gave me a bad feeling."

Ying's last sentence was said with some hesitation, which could not be simply summarized as "not very good". It was even a bit similar to the look on Xiao's face when he was eroded by karma. However, Bai Han's actions had a greater impact on the mind.

"That means the part of Senior Bai Xian that was corroded by the demonic energy has appeared," Bai Shang sighed. "Senior Bai Xian has turned into a soul. If we want him to appear in front of all of us, we need to use the method of summoning the immortal. During the spell, no one should move rashly. And after summoning the immortal, we must send him away. Otherwise, no one will know whether the part that remains is the part of Senior Bai Xian that has not been corroded, or the part that has been possessed by the demon."

"Just now, the evil spirit in Miss Guiyan's body sensed the immortal power of Senior Baixian, so it was drawn out. Senior Baixian was also eroded more by the existence of the evil spirit. In addition, you wanted to leave your position, which violated the requirements of the method of inviting immortals. This led to the subsequent situation."

After hearing this, Ying was stunned for a moment, feeling that this kind of erosion was indeed terrible and strange, and was even accompanied by all kinds of strange rules.

But the first thing she said was -

"You didn't even gasp for breath and finished your words in one breath?"

"Hmm?" Bai Shang was stunned for a moment by Ying's words, then he smiled and said, "That is indeed a bad habit of mine."

At this time, Gui Yan, who had not spoken, spoke.

"So you asked me to come here to help me get rid of the evil spirit?"

Her question was met with silence.

"...Maybe." Bai Shang's words revealed that he was quite unconfident and unsure of Bai Xian's true intentions.

"It was Senior Bai Xian who gave me the instructions, and he should have explained the rest of the matter clearly. But after what happened just now, he also has to go back to recuperate his soul. I have no idea what Senior is thinking."

"How about this, the two of you stay in our Tiancang Sect for the time being, and we will discuss the follow-up matters after you recover."

"It seems that this is the only way." Ying nodded, and then asked Guiyan: "Guiyan, what do you think?"

After all, this concerns Guiyan, and she has to make the decision herself.

"Wherever you are, I'll be there!" Gui Yan smiled brightly.
