Chapter 389: Chapter 166 Yu Youhan: Ji Hongxiu, do you dare to touch my man? _3
Ji Hongxiu extended her soft palm, and a palm-sized Gnomon Plate hung above her palm.
As the Gnomon Needle trembled, a translucent shadow slowly emerged.
It was precisely Fu Li who had "self-destructed" earlier!
Looking at the red-dressed woman before him, Fu Li’s expression was panicked. The Erosion Light Hourglass had already been refined by him, yet the other party could forcibly activate it. Such a method was simply unfathomable!
Even that old guy Shi Wenzhong couldn’t do it!
"Who exactly are you?"
Ji Hongxiu raised her eyebrows and sneered, "You want to kill this master’s disciple, yet you don’t even know this master’s identity?"
?!
Fu Li thought of something, and cried out in fright, "You are the Daoist Venerable?!"
Ji Hongxiu ignored him, looked at Chen Mo, and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Chen Mo said, "Leave the Magical Treasure, as for the Divine Soul, just destroy it."
Ji Hongxiu nodded and said, "I think the same."
"Don’t, don’t kill me!"
Fu Li trembled all over and hurriedly said, "Only with the support of the Taiyin Reverse Time Decision can the true power of the Erosion Light Hourglass be unleashed! As long as the Daoist Venerable spares my life, I will definitely impart all my cultivation techniques fully!"
"If the Daoist Venerable is still worried, you can refine me into an Artifact Spirit, ensuring it will work even more smoothly!"
After all, he had long discarded his physical body. As long as his Divine Soul could continue, it was already enough for him!
Ji Hongxiu said lightly, "No need for such trouble; cultivation techniques, this master can see for herself, and as for a trash Artifact Spirit like you, it’s better to do without."
As she spoke, an invisible flame surged from her palm, enveloping the Erosion Light Hourglass.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Fu Li’s body was stripped from the Gnomon Needle, and he struggled and wailed in the flames, immediately being refined and utterly vanishing into smoke!
Countless light particles scattered in the air, as if they were sentient, swirling and dancing around the palm.
Ji Hongxiu waved her hand, the light particles following and pouring into Chen Mo’s Sea of Consciousness!
?
Chen Mo had not even reacted before he felt a sky of light and clouds in his Spirit Platform, and numerous mysterious insights surged to his mind.
A prompt text flashed before his eyes:
[Obtained Cultivation Technique: "Taiyin Reverse Time Technique."]
Soon after, Ji Hongxiu threw the Erosion Light Hourglass over.
Chen Mo hurriedly reached out to catch it, puzzled, "Daoist Venerable, this is..."
Ji Hongxiu said casually, "This thing is useless to this master, keep it for your amusement."
"..."
Chen Mo knew firsthand the power of this Magical Treasure.
Even if Ji Hongxiu herself couldn’t use it, she could have easily kept it for her disciples, but she directly gave both the magic artifact and the cultivation technique to him.
Why was she suddenly so good to him?
"Thank you, Daoist Venerable..."
"Alright, don’t be so sentimental."
Ji Hongxiu waved her hand to interrupt, saying, "This master still has something for you to help with, just don’t refuse at that time."
Chen Mo was a bit puzzled, with the Daoist Venerable’s cultivation, what was there that needed his help?
"Naturally, whenever there is a need in the future, I will surely do my utmost."
"Good, I’ve been waiting for those words of yours."
Ji Hongxiu smiled brightly and then turned to walk out of the room.
Chen Mo felt even more strange in his heart. Although it seemed like he had reaped all the benefits, she acted as if she had gained a great deal...
Cre-eak——
A moment later, the door was pushed open, and Ling Ningzhi walked in with a bowl of medicine.
"Master, the medicine is ready..."
Seeing Chen Mo, a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Mr. Chen, you’re awake?!"
Ling Ningzhi quickly came to his side, concerned, "Are you alright? Does it hurt anywhere? Yesterday, your meridians were destroyed, and your body shattered, almost scaring us to death..."
Chen Mo shook his head, "I’m fine."
He forcefully broke through in battle and exhausted all his True Yuan, causing the body to collapse under the strain and fall into a coma.
Now, under the repair of the Vitality Essence, his injuries had mostly healed, but there was still some weakness.
Ling Ningzhi sat by the bed, scooped up a spoonful of medicine liquid, gently blew on it, and brought it to Chen Mo’s lips, "Mr. Chen, drink the medicine first. This is the Three Elements Gathering God Soup that Master personally prepared, it’ll greatly benefit your recovery."
"I can do it myself."
"No, your body isn’t fully recovered yet, you can’t move around... Open your mouth, ah~"
"..."
Chen Mo felt a bit amused.
Even if he was weak, it wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t hold a bowl of soup.
However, seeing her stubborn appearance, he silently opened his mouth.
The medicine liquid entered his mouth, turning into a warm flow throughout his body. His flesh and Divine Soul were nourished, and his state gradually stabilized.
"It’s truly impressive, this effect is incredibly effective."
"Another mouthful, ah~"
"That’s enough, I’m not a child..."
"Alright, alright, you’re the biggest, now be good, quickly open your mouth."
"This still sounds like coaxing a child!"
After finishing the bowl of medicine, Ling Ningzhi put down the bowl and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Chen Mo was momentarily dazed.
The candle flickered, casting a dim light that tinged her with a glow. Her snow-white hair was spotless, making her face appear even more ethereal, like a cloud floating atop the mountains.
In that moment, he suddenly understood why Ling Ningzhi was the top beauty on the Rouge List.
That kind of unsullied purity and transparency had long transcended mere looks, an unparalleled elegance unique to her alone.
Ling Ningzhi felt flustered under his gaze, blushing, "W-why are you looking at this poor Daoist like that?"
Chen Mo came back to his senses and softly said, "Daoist, your white hair is quite special."
Ling Ningzhi chuckled proudly, "This poor Daoist also thinks it’s nice. This way, when I grow old, no one will notice this poor Daoist has turned white-haired."
"..."
Chen Mo knew in his heart that the whitening of her hair was only superficial. The root cause was the forced burning of blood which damaged her foundation, potentially affecting her future path to immortality.
Even so, she still put on an air of indifference.
