Chapter 120: Xiaozhi’s Sickness and Spirit Marrow

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On a broad-leaf tree trunk, he wiped away the blood on his fingers.

...

Lin Yan rushed to Ji Village and arrived at his house.

“Who’s there!”

Eldest Senior Brother’s face was filled with vigilance as he rushed out of the room. He swept his gaze across the insect saber arms on Lin Yan’s back and the shattered jade statue. He revealed a hint of shock.

“Lin Yan?! What, what are these things on you?!”

Lin Yan pulled the rope and unloaded the items on his back. “It’s some miscellaneous items I found in the Guangchuan Mountains.”

His expression was solemn because the candles in the wooden house were brightly lit. Listening to their breathing, he found that Xie Lingyan, Pang Feiyan, and the others were all there.

…..

“Eldest Senior Brother, something happened to Xiaozhi again?!”

Zang Wei sighed. “1 can’t explain. It’s a little strange. Go in and take a look.”

Lin Yan hurriedly entered the house.

“Lin Yan, you’re back?”

Xie Lingyan and Pang Feiyan frowned and stood by Xiaozhi’s bed. Xiao Lu sat by the bed and wiped Xiaozhi’s sweat with a wet cloth, wiping her tears from time to time.

“Xiaozhi…”

Lin Yan walked to the bed and suddenly trembled. His pupils instantly condensed into a needle. He stood rooted to the ground and could not say a word.

Xie Lingyan thought that Lin Yan was too sad. She stroked Xiaozhi’s arm. There was a ferocious white spot on it, like a birthmark.

She sighed and said, “From just now, Xiaozhi’s body suddenly froze. Her limbs, cheeks, and back all began to grow these hard white spots that expanded bit by bit.”

Pang Feiyan bit her lips. “I-I’ve already tried everything, but it’s useless…”

Lin Yan could no longer hear anything. It was as if he had fallen into an ice hole, and his entire body was bone-chilling.

There were white spots on Xiaozhi’s cheeks, arms, and calves.

Some were the size of a baby’s palm, while others were scattered. They were spreading and expanding bit by bit like living creatures.

The color of the scar was milky white with a trace of luster, like a piece of white jade…

This was clearly the same luster as the two women’s sculptures found in the palace!

The contents of the seven engravings instantly surged into Lin Yan’s mind.

Especially in the end, two of the three women turned into jade statues, and one turned into a strange ghost. His eyes suddenly turned red, and an extremely terrifying aura erupted from his body!

No! 1 can’t let Xiaozhi fall into such a situation!

Xie Lingyan and Zang Wei’s expressions changed drastically as they looked at Lin Yan in shock. They could not believe that Lin Yan could release such a terrifying aura!

Pang Feiyan and Xiao Lu’s faces turned pale as they subconsciously retreated, unable to say a word.

“Lin Yan!”

Lin Yan’s aura slowly relaxed.

“Lin Yan, don’t be anxious. We’ll find a way.”

Xie Lingyan and the others comforted him.

Lin Yan’s face was pale as he said reluctantly, “Miss Xie, Eldest Senior Brother, I want to stay with Xiaozhi alone for a while.”

“You…”

Xie Lingyan grabbed Pang Feiyan and shook her head at her. Then, she said, “Okay.”

With that, she pulled the few of them away.

Lin Yan sat by the bed and gently brushed the scars on Xiaozhi’s arm.

As expected, it was similar to the feeling of jade.

Was Xiaozhi’s condition really a kind of illness?

What did she have to do with the earthquake in Guangchuan Mountains?

What did she have to do with the three women on the murals and the people lined up all over the mountains?

His exploration this time had clearly found the right clues.

But the problem was, how could he cure Xiaozhi’s illness?

Lin Yan recalled the scene of the soldiers hunting evil ghosts and cutting open their chests to obtain bone items on the third mural.

At that time, he had already reacted. That bone object might be the Spirit Marrow.

He had obtained the Spirit Marrow in Li Qu and the insect monster’s bodies. They were cut out from their bodies.

So, could Xiaozhi’s illness also be relieved with the Spirit Marrow?

On the mural, the three women fell asleep on the second mural.

Was it the same as Xiaozhi’s previous symptoms?

Then, on the fourth painting, they were filled with the soup brewed from the Spirit Marrow and began to turn into jade…

Was it the soup that made them jade-like, or was the soup used to ease their jade-like state?

Lin Yan’s head gradually heated up. Countless clues and thoughts surged in his mind like a storm.

His hand had already reached into his pocket and grabbed the Spirit Marrow.

But he didn’t dare to take it out.

This was already his only life-saving straw. If the Spirit Marrow was still useless, Xiaozhi would really be helpless!

Especially when he thought about it, even if the murals were really depicting the Spirit Marrow, they had to undergo a series of boiling and replacing before those women could drink it…

The white jade scar was still expanding.

In the end, Lin Yan reached out and shakily took out a Spirit Marrow.

The Spirit Marrow appeared to be a bone fragment with golden leaf patterns on it.

Lin Yan hesitantly reached out and slowly pressed the Spirit Marrow against the scar on the side of Xiaozhi’s right forearm.

The moment the Spirit Marrow came into contact with the white jade scar, the golden leaf patterns on the Spirit Marrow instantly lit up!

Immediately after, the place where the Spirit Marrow came into contact with the white jade scar actually revealed the appearance of a wax lump melting, slowly fitting together with the white jade scar!

Lin Yan’s eyes lit up. “It’s effective!”

However, in the next moment, a hint of dark green appeared at the connection between the white jade scar and the Spirit Marrow!

Like ink dripping into water, the dark green color followed the white jade scar and gradually expanded to the size of a fingernail. In the center of the white jade scar, it showed the texture of a chitin carapace!

Suddenly, Xiaozhi frowned tightly, her small face scrunched up.

Lin Yan tightened his grip and resisted the urge to retract his hand.

The dark green shell was still expanding, as if it was occupying the entire white jade scar.

As it continued to expand, Xiaozhi’s reaction became stronger and stronger.

All the muscles in her body tensed up, and tiny veins bulged.

Her hands and feet twitched unconsciously, and the blood vessels in her entire body swelled, as if she wanted to explode.

Finally, her entire body was drenched in sweat. She twitched violently, as if she had been possessed. Her hands and feet smashed the bed board crazily, making thumping sounds.

Retreat!

Lin Yan suddenly pulled at the Spirit Marrow. The Spirit Marrow that had originally melted into the scar was forcefully pulled out by him, forming a sticky wax arc. Then, the dark green carapace quickly shrank and disappeared, fusing into the Spirit Marrow again as Lin Yan pulled it out.

The symptoms all over Xiaozhi’s body stopped instantly. She lay quietly on the bed, leaving only her pale face and sweat all over.

The white jade scar on his arm was white and flawless. The Spirit Marrow in Lin Yan’s hand had already turned into bones, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Lin Yan felt a huge sense of disappointment and anger. He clenched the Spirit Marrow tightly in his hand. “No! It actually doesn’t work!”

The Spirit Marrow could indeed affect Xiaozhi’s symptoms, but Xiaozhi had to endure such great pain. Perhaps it would’ve already killed Xiaozhi before it could resolve Xiaozhi’s symptoms!

“Lin Yan, are you alright?!”

Xie Lingyan knocked on the door again. She had been waiting at the door.

…..

Lin Yan seemed to have lost all his strength and sat weakly on the bed.

Xie Lingyan came in again.

“Lin Yan, what happened just now?”

Lin Yan struggled to hold on and displayed the Spirit Marrow. He told them about his failed attempt just now, hoping that they would give him some advice.

“In other words, the Spirit Marrow has an effect on Xiaozhi’s symptoms?!”

Xie Lingyan clapped her hands. “Since it’s effective, why are you disappointed?

“If one method doesn’t work, think of a way to try other methods! Lin Yan, Xiaozhi needs you now. You have to pull yourself together!”

Lin Yan was silent for a moment before taking a deep breath. “Miss Xie, you’re right. Thank you…”

Xie Lingyan left again.

Lin Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the hesitation in his heart. He began to think rationally.

“The Spirit Marrow is effective, or rather, it has an effect.

“But during the process, Xiaozhi will be in great pain.

“Also, during the fusion of the Spirit Marrow, a dark green shell will actually appear, just like those insect monsters.

“And this Spirit Marrow was obtained from the insect monster…

“Therefore, the dark green shell is definitely related to the insect monster!

“There’s external spiritual matter in the Spirit Marrow…

“The illusion of the Buddhist temple underground back then was enough to show that this external spiritual matter is definitely not as simple as an inanimate object or an aura.

“Could it be this external spiritual matter that caused the Spirit Marrow to grow this shell when it fused into Xiaozhi’s body?

“Is it because of this carapace that Xiaozhi is in so much pain?!

“It’s a logical deduction. When external objects invade the body, it’s like a sword piercing the body. A person will naturally suffer!

“As long as 1 remove this spiritual quality, as long as it doesn’t have this spiritual quality…”

Lin Yan suddenly stood up.

This was an extremely superficial question. He should have thought of it long ago. However, he was confused by his concern and was overwhelmed by huge emotions!

He reached into the area where the Spirit Marrow was specially placed and quickly took out a piece of Spirit Marrow that was as dry as dead wood!

This was the Spirit Marrow he had first obtained. It was left behind by the Golden Bodhi Scripture after it absorbed the external spiritual matter. He had always kept it.

As if on a pilgrimage, Lin Yan held his breath and stuck this withered wood-like wreckage to Xiaozhi’s arm.

In the next moment, the remains melted like wax like the previous Spirit Marrow and invaded the white jade scar!

“Heaven is merciful!”
