Chapter 655: Extremely Cold Breath
The old bungalow, the door panel is still pasted with the big red "Fu" that has not been removed in the New Year, and a few weeds are sparsely growing in the corner of the wall. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary house, mixed with houses on the street, with almost no conspicuous features.
Ye Shuo looked around, and after repeatedly confirming that the address was correct, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The old door panel was quickly pulled open, and a middle-aged strong man with a scruffy beard and only a short sweatshirt poked his head out and looked at him suspiciously, with a faint hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"Uncle, I'm here to build weapons. Without waiting for the big man to open his mouth to ask, Ye Shuo preemptively said. According to the information provided by those homeless men, this big man ran a blacksmith shop in the town, so Ye Shuo had already thought of an excuse before coming here.
Hearing this, the big man waved his hand: "At the end of each month, you have a day off, you can go back." He looked unexpectedly relieved, and raised his hand to close the door.
Ye Shuo hurriedly supported the door panel with one hand and came up with a second excuse: "Uncle, in fact, I don't hide it from my uncle, my little nephew is born with a very cold physique, I heard that the uncle's family is not afraid of the cold, and I am very envious, so I came to ask the uncle for some ways to strengthen the body!"
The big man's brows suddenly wrinkled again, and he said very quickly: "Fear of cold, one is born, and the other is exercise, I have nothing to help you, you better go back quickly." This time, I couldn't help but say, and I raised my hand to close the door panel.
"Dad, is there a guest coming?" At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in the room. Then, a young girl walked out hesitantly, wearing a floral short skirt with two twisted braids on her shoulders, looking simple and fresh. Standing behind his father, he was looking at Ye Shuo with curious eyes.
Ye Shuo's gaze only moved slightly on her, and then it fixed on the jade pendant hanging from her neck.
“…… This is it!"
Although it had been made into the shape of a jade pendant, Ye Shuo still recognized it at a glance, it was clearly the main material of the array recorded in the Thousand Machines Recipe - the Extreme Flame Stone! Under the induction of spiritual power, he could clearly distinguish the bursts of warmth emanating from inside the stone body.
"Excuse me, can you give me the jade pendant around your neck?" I will pay for it!" Ye Shuo raised his hand and pointed at the jade pendant and asked the girl.
The face of the big man on the side changed, and he wanted to drive Ye Shuo out of the door by pushing and shoving, and said in a loud voice: "Let's go, we don't do your business, you go quickly!"
"I'll just take a look, just one glance!" Ye Shuo's spiritual power quietly emanated, and he always stood still under the push of the big man. Looking at the girl, he tried his best to show her his sincerity.
"What a glance? Half an eye can't do it!" Although the big man didn't know why Ye Shuo, a young man who looked weak, had so much strength, he didn't have time to think about it at this time, and muttered that he was going to the corner of the house to get a broom.
In the midst of the quarrel, another middle-aged woman also ran out of the room, standing awkwardly and nervously, rubbing her hands repeatedly. For some reason, when the family heard that Ye Shuo was coming for the jade pendant, they immediately felt like they were facing a great enemy.
On the contrary, the girl was much more friendly, untouched by the grim atmosphere around her, took a few steps forward, and smiled faintly at Ye Shuo: "If it's a glance, it shouldn't matter." As he spoke, he reached out to the back of his neck and slowly untied the jade pendant.
With her simple action, the big man and his wife's faces changed in unison, and they glanced back and forth between the two worriedly.
Ye Shuo thanked him, and after taking the jade pendant, he made false observations over and over again, and at the same time condensed the spiritual power in his hand, trying to imitate a similar stone.
In his mind, this family didn't know how to distinguish what Extreme Flame Stone was. Maybe it's just that he senses the abnormal fluctuations above and sees that it is a treasure, so he will protect it so desperately. As long as you give them a stone with similar fluctuations when the time comes, that's it.
In fact, when a cultivator faces a mortal, even if he directly robs the person, the other party can't stop him. But in Ye Shuo's heart, after all, there is a view of right and wrong that has been cultivated since childhood. Even if he had to be ruthless to the enemy, for a group of ordinary weaklings, he still didn't want to do things too desperately after all.
Just as Ye Shuo was still pretending to flip the jade pendant, in front of him, a strong cold air suddenly erupted. Looking at the girl's legs again, they were already "clicking" and forming layers of ice. And the ice is still spreading upwards, looking at the girl's trembling pain, it is obvious that it will not be long before her whole body will be completely frozen!
"What's wrong with her?" Ye Shuo raised his head in confusion. Although he was confused, he vaguely felt that this might have something to do with the fact that he had taken the Extreme Flame Stone......
The old couple on the side were anxious: "Quick! quickly put the jade pendant back on her!"
Ye Shuo was stunned, hurriedly agreed, and clumsily hung the jade pendant back into the girl's neck. Strange to say, almost as soon as he completed this set of movements, the ice that spread to the girl's waist miraculously stopped.
Then, from the surface of the Polar Flame Stone, layers of warm red waves emanated, gently caressing the ice below. Under the filter of this burst of light, the hard ice slowly melted until it turned into a cool cold air and completely dissipated. And the girl's face finally regained its ruddyness.
……
"Alas, maybe it's this girl's fate......" Since this bizarre scene has been seen by Ye Shuo, the old couple will no longer hide it. After the big man sighed, he slowly recounted the cause and effect.
"When she was very young, we once took her out into the mountains to play. Originally, everything was fine, but then she ran farther and farther in the deep forest, and I didn't know what evil had happened, and by the time we found her, she was already frozen all over, lying on the ground shivering.
Since then, at the end of every month, she will have chills all over her body, and when she has an attack, it is really painful! We have also asked many doctors to come to see her, but to no avail, we can only hastily prescribe some prescriptions to nourish the blood and vitality. So we close the shop at the end of each month, stay at home with our daughter, and get through this monthly difficult time together......
Fortunately, no matter how scary it was at the time, as soon as the day passed, the ice would recede, but during the attack, it would be particularly painful...... But such torture will also leave sequelae, and my daughter's physique is getting weaker and weaker, and she is more and more afraid of cold...... We really see it in our eyes and hurt in our hearts!"
The big man said, burying his head deeply. The woman patted him comfortingly on the shoulder, and then said:
"Finally, one year, a well-informed doctor said that in order to suppress this cold body, it is necessary to find the things of the sun. We inquired in many ways, and one day her father finally got a special piece of ore when he was striking iron, and after giving it to his daughter to wear, it really stopped the cold erosion......"
Speaking of this, the woman raised her head suddenly, and her always cowardly gaze was unprecedentedly firm at this moment: "So this jade pendant is our daughter's life, and we will never let you take it!"
Previously, Ye Shuo had been holding his chin with one hand and was silent for a long time. Only then did he slowly raise his gaze: "Then if I can relieve the pain of this cold poison for Ling Ai, can this jade pendant be given to me as a reward?"
"You?" the couple glanced at each other suspiciously, and the big man turned his head sideways first, his face full of contempt: "You are so young, are you a doctor?"
Although the woman was also skeptical, she thought of her daughter's miserable situation when she had a cold attack every month, and she couldn't care about anything else for a while, so she hurriedly said: "As long as you can relieve my daughter of cold poison, not to mention a piece of jade pendant, even if you want all our belongings!"
Ye Shuo nodded, didn't say anything more, just stretched his hand towards the inner room. The girl looked at him, gritted her teeth and nodded, leading the way. On the side, the old couple also hurriedly followed.
……
As soon as the Extreme Flame Stone was removed, layers of ice suddenly formed on the surface of the girl's body. The whole person was lying stiffly on the bed, looking at Ye Shuo weakly, his eyes full of sadness.
Growing up, she didn't know how many similar tests she had undergone. Every doctor gave her hope at first, but every time, she had to bear the same hope. Now, she has long since learned to stop expecting extravagantly. Maybe she will never be able to get rid of this strange illness again, and one day, she will be completely frozen to death when the cold attacks.
Ye Shuo sat on the edge of the bed, just staring at the girl calmly. Although the old couple couldn't stop looking at each other, Ye Shuo never took any further action.
How strong is this cold air? I'm afraid it's hard to tell if you don't fully stimulate it first......
"Qingxiangxiong, what's wrong, do you see any clues?" After the girl's head was completely frozen, Ye Shuo began to ask Qingxiangxiong in his mind.
"What do you say, you're not a doctor, am I?" Qing Xiangxiong said angrily. After a long time, he replied slowly: "For this situation, there will only be two causes. One is the innate extreme cold physique, and if the cold can be controlled at that time, it will definitely increase its strength. But this can only rely on herself, and outsiders can't help. ”
"On the other hand, you touch something you shouldn't touch, and you are forced to be filled by the cold. In this case, as long as she sucks out all the cold in her body, she should be fine. Fortunately, this girl is obviously not an extremely cold body, otherwise your cowhide this time will be blown off. ”
Ye Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He really doesn't know anything about medical skills, and the only thing worth relying on at hand is the love of meditation, the "erudite" Qingxiang Bear, and the devouring power that he inexplicably obtained before.
Raising the palm of his hand, he slowly pressed it to the girl's frozen chest, and the slightest spiritual power spread on the edge of the palm. The old couple on the side were worried that he had ill intentions towards his daughter at first, but seeing these unusual white light currents, it seemed that the young man really had some doorways, and his heart fell back to the original point.
Under the control of Ye Shuo's spiritual power, a large amount of cold qi automatically gathered, and thin lines covered with frost traveled all the way outside the girl's body, condensing towards her heart. A cloud of ice-blue yin beads also quietly took shape under the surrounding cold.
The volume of the Yin Bead continued to expand, and the devouring power was forcibly scraped, but the cold qi in the girl's body seemed to be endless, as long as someone from the outside world was willing to suck it, there would be an endless supply of follow-up. So far, even the surface of the ice has not collapsed.
With such a majestic cold, even Ye Shuo already felt the pressure, not to mention what kind of pain the girl had experienced as a mortal who had been tortured by cold poison for many years.
Ye Shuo frowned slightly, and the devouring power in his palm increased again. The cold air swirled vertically and horizontally, and for a while, even Ye Shuo's eyebrows were covered with sporadic frost.
The whole process lasted for several hours before the ice outside the girl's body gradually subsided, and she slowly sat up and held her hands. She could clearly feel that the cold that had plagued her for more than ten years had finally disappeared completely. From now on...... She can live a normal life like other girls!
The cold poison was expelled, and the old couple was also so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, and the family sat together, talking and laughing, and they cried with joy. Ye Shuo, who was standing on the side, had no intention of participating, he was mobilizing his spiritual power at this time, compressing the extreme yin energy mass that was swallowed into the outside world, eliminating the elemental power mixed in it, and only retaining the purest essence energy.
Surrounded by cold light, I saw a thumb-sized bead spinning drippingly, and a stream of air whistling into the bead's body. When the final compression is completed, all that is left is such a crystal clear bead, like a glass bead that rural children often play with. But the tentacles of the bead body are still extremely cold, and after holding it for a long time, the slightest wisp of cold will quickly invade the body.
"It's ...... A Yin Bead condensed by high-purity Yin Qi?" Qingxiang Xiong let out an exclamation in his soul, "In that area, I'm afraid there is some place of Extreme Yin, otherwise it will definitely not be able to produce a Yin Bead of this quality!"
Seeing that Ye Shuo was still confused, Qing Xiangxiong explained a little impatiently: "Yin Qi is a great supplement for those who cultivate the cold attribute exercises, and it will naturally be of great benefit to those who do not refuse to come like you! And in the future, when you reach the Qi Sect level, absorbing Yin and Yang Qi is the only way to go." Tell them where you were in that day?"
Although Ye Shuo didn't know anything about it, he thought that Qingxiangxiong's spiritual cultivation knowledge was always richer than his own, and it was rare for him to be so excited, and most of them would not be fake, so he relayed it according to his words.
"Well, are you going to go to that place?" the girl blinked, "but it's dangerous...... It might be contaminated with filth! It's better not to go?" The old couple on the side heard that he had taken the initiative to go to that murderous place, and they also dissuaded him again and again.
"No problem, I'm a spiritual cultivator!" Ye Shuo smiled. In order to show his confidence, he also took the initiative to straighten his waist.
To say dangerous...... How could he not know about the danger there? This girl had obviously not yet gone deep into the "extremely cold place" that Qing Xiangxiong said, and she had already accumulated such a deep yin qi in her body. If you really want to go inside, I'm afraid it's unpredictable. What's more, in that kind of wilderness, I don't know if there will be any fierce beasts raised by the cold land......
But in front of this kind girl, he must be full of confidence. Otherwise, I'm afraid she would never be willing to push her benefactor into the fire pit.
