Chapter 151: Chapter 101: Lin Jingzhu’s Hand Warmer! Meeting an Old Acquaintance Again! (6K)

The expressions of the Demon Suppression Department’s ministers were somewhat peculiar.

The Fire Talisman was a high-level talisman, capable of warding off evil spirits and increasing the power of Fire Daoist Skill. Only talisman masters of the fifth grade or above had the ability to craft it.

Using it to warm oneself up was truly a bit extravagant. If those talisman masters knew about it, they would probably start cursing again...

*Oh well, as long as Mr. Chen was happy.*

Everyone silently bowed their heads to eat, pretending they hadn’t seen anything.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Steam rose off Lin Jingzhu’s head, and her fair little face was flushed, making her seem like she was in a sauna.

Chen Mo feigned confusion and said, "Your constitution seems a bit special..."

Lin Jingzhu, unfazed, replied openly, "I was born with Chill Toxin in my body, hidden in my Innate Essence. It erupts unpredictably, and I’ve almost been frozen to death several times. Fortunately, I met my master, who taught me the Frozen Soul Mastery, and that’s how I’ve survived to this day."

"But it only suppresses it temporarily. Once my True Yuan is exhausted, the Chill Toxin will still erupt..."

Lin Jingzhu’s master was Martial Arts Grandmaster Xue Jushan, who once single-handedly challenged the four peak masters of Martial Saint Mountain. No one knew what happened, but three days later, Xue Jushan descended alive from Martial Saint Mountain.

After that, his fame spread widely across the Jianghu, and people called him "Martial Arts Champion."

Later, Xue Jushan entered the worldly realm seeking a path to transcendence, and while traveling through the Great Yuan, he passed through Tiandu City and taught the Nine Revolutions Ice Soul Technique to Lin Jingzhu, essentially saving her life.

Reflecting on the plot summary, Chen Mo shook his head and said, "In that case, the profession of Investigator doesn’t seem quite suitable for you."

*Currently, the world was in chaos, with demons rampant. Working at the Six Gates inevitably involved life-and-death battles. If things went wrong, the consequence would be death.*

*Being a rich young lady would at least allow her to live well.*

Lin Jingzhu downed the strong liquor in her bowl, letting it trickle down her fair neck.

She put down her bowl, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and smiled, saying, "In life, it’s just a fleeting moment. Just scraping by isn’t my desire... While I can’t choose my birth, I can at least choose my way to die."

Chen Mo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

*It was hard to imagine these words coming from the mouth of a noblewoman from a Qi Wan family.*

*No wonder she seemed as unrestrained as a traveler; it seemed she felt her fate was limited, so she lived so freely and unrestrainedly.*

*How was Lin Jingzhu’s Chill Toxin cured in the original plot?*

Chen Mo pinched his chin, secretly pondering.

After everyone finished eating, they didn’t receive a response from the fourth group.

The sky was already dark, and after traveling day and night for two days, everyone was utterly exhausted.

So, they decided to rest at the inn for the night and meet up with the fourth group first thing in the morning.

...

On the second floor, in the room.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged, practicing the Supreme Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

On the Spirit Platform, the Golden Body Miniature shimmered with a radiant glow.

As his Soul Power gradually strengthened, the miniature’s face became more defined, with ancient characters vaguely appearing on its surface.

After mastering the Cultivation Technique, he gained a special power called "Soul Suppressing," which made him resistant to external evil intrusion and expanded his Divine Sense perception.

Chen Mo merged his Divine Sense with the Golden Body Miniature, and his perceptual range suddenly expanded. His "view" soared high above, almost covering half of the county, capturing every subtle movement.

"Phew... Hm? What’s going on with you, why did it end just as it started?"

"Madam, the spring night is short, pleasurable times are always so fleeting..."

"Speak plainly!"

"Not in good form today."

"..."

Upon hearing whispers from a distant residence, Chen Mo appeared slightly embarrassed and quickly withdrew his Divine Sense.

However, when his Divine Sense swept over the adjacent room, he paused slightly.

He saw Lin Jingzhu undress and soak in a wooden bath. Through the clear water, her pale skin was faintly visible.

Chen Mo wasn’t trying to satisfy any base desires or deliberately spy. Instead, her current state seemed somewhat abnormal...

"Recently, the Chill Toxin has worsened significantly, especially at night. Even the Frozen Soul Mastery can’t suppress it..."

Lin Jingzhu hugged her knees while soaking in the water, her body trembling slightly.

The once-steaming water rapidly cooled, and frost appeared on the surface.

Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it?"

Lin Jingzhu called out.

No response came.

Frowning, she leaped from the tub, using her True Yuan to steam-dry the water, and quickly dressed in her robe.

She walked over and opened the door to find no one outside.

"In the middle of the night, who’s so bored... Hm?"

Just as Lin Jingzhu was about to close the door, she noticed three talismans on the ground, the very "hand warmers" Chen Mo had given her earlier.

She picked them up, her expression momentarily stunned.

Then, a smile curved on her lips, and a trace of warmth flickered in her black-and-white eyes.

...

The next day, just as dawn broke, everyone left the inn, heading towards Hengjiang Ridge.

Zeyang County was about eight hundred miles from Hengjiang Ridge, but with the aid of the Swift Movement Talisman, they reached the mountain’s foot by 9 a.m.

The vast, majestic mountain range was named for lying along the banks of the Canglan River.

Lush vegetation covered its towering peaks, waving in layers of green under the gentle breeze.

Li Siya focused his perception for a moment and said, "Thirty miles to the northwest, follow me."

His figure dispersed like mist, leaping towards the mountain.

Everyone followed him, weaving through the forest, and soon arrived at the specified location.

Seeing the scene before them, they were all taken aback.

Before their eyes, trees were toppled, debris was everywhere, and the ground was littered with the dismembered bodies of the Demon Clan, clearly the aftermath of a blood battle.

A man sat slumped against a tree trunk, his breath weak, and his green robe stained dark red with dried blood.

"Yu Fei?!"

Li Siya hurried forward, took an alchemy pill from his pocket, and placed it into the man’s mouth.

The man’s pale face recovered a hint of color, his breath gradually stabilized, and he spoke weakly, "Li Gongfeng, you’ve arrived..."
