NOVEL WEB chapter 68
68. The Inhalation Plan (Extra 5 for Monthly Tickets)
“Shh~!”
Zhao Yueqing quickly covered Su Kexin’s mouth, “This is the pavilion, don’t be so loud, really.”
Some disciples were reading in the pavilion when a sudden female voice interrupted their thoughts. But seeing the quiet that followed, they continued to immerse themselves in their books.
“Let’s talk outside.”
Zhao Yueqing released her hand and pulled Su Kexin out. She had intended to speak in a quiet corner, not expecting such a big reaction.
Outside the Zi Book Pavilion was a cool pavilion, and they walked over there.
“Yueqing, what on earth is going on?”
Suke Xin asked anxiously, “Is it because there aren’t enough seats in the library?”
“Do you think the library has that many readers?”
“Could it be that Second Senior Sister and Senior Brother are used to sitting there, and it’s just a coincidence?”
“No, they usually sit in different spots; I’ve noticed. Lin Nuo, Senior Brother, sits in the east corner, while Shi Li, Senior Sister, sits in the west corner—they’re far apart. But just now, Shi Li, Senior Sister, took the initiative to sit in the east corner, which is also Lin Nuo, Senior Brother’s spot.”
“Maybe…”
Suke Xin’s voice grew lower, not only lacking confidence but also trembling slightly.
“Ah, stop with the maybes, you’re just deceiving yourself. It’s obvious now, Shi Li, Senior Sister, has started paying attention to Lin Nuo, Senior Brother. This is something I never expected. Everyone knows that Senior Brother Lin Nuo pursued her before, but she didn’t respond. Now that Senior Sister has started to take notice of him, I’ve said it before, once Lin Nuo, Senior Brother, gradually shows his talent, more and more female cultivators will pay attention to him. If they truly fall in love one day, you’ll have no chance.”
“Ah, if Senior Brother has someone in his heart, I can’t interfere…”
“Look at you, what do you mean you can’t interfere?”
Zhao Yueqing looked at Suke Xin’s disheartened appearance and got frustrated, tapping her on the head, “They haven’t defined their relationship yet, and you’re giving up? Besides, no one knows who Senior Brother’s beloved is right now. He’s caring about you at the moment, not paying attention to Shi Li, Senior Sister. And since Shi Li, Senior Sister, is aloof, if you take the initiative, you’ll have a better chance. Trust me, your talents are not inferior. Seize the opportunity, and you can definitely make it!”
Zhao Yueqing’s hand rested on Suke Xin’s shoulder, like a spiritual mentor, encouraging her to bravely move forward.
Suke Xin clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and kept mentally encouraging herself:
Come on, Suke Xin, believe in yourself, you can do it! I won’t lose to Second Senior Sister!
…
Lin Nuo returned to his room to meditate. Having been out recently, competing with the Dark Alliance and even fighting with the hunters from Zaun, he assumed his cultivation must have improved.
Using the spiritual instrument, he tried to channel his energy.
Well, no improvement, just another wasted day.
Lin Nuo tossed the spiritual instrument under the bed. If he didn’t check next time, he wouldn’t know he hadn’t improved, which would be better.
No one understands leveling up better than I, Lin Nuo, pretending to be max level.
Lin Nuo pulled out the pitch-black scale stone, the only gain from his recent outing. Considering the harsh conditions required to use this explosive stone, there was no chance to use it yet.
But the opportunity would come soon. In his memory, there was an alchemy class within the Xuan Yun Sect, where professional alchemists taught disciples the art of alchemy. Being skilled in many areas was an advantage, and with many masters in the Xuan Yun Sect, disciples could master various skills. After all, one cannot generalize the physical constitution between people, and the same goes for talent. The Xuan Yun Sect still advocates for disciples to develop in the direction that suits them best.
Alchemy requires a furnace, and high temperatures are essential for alchemy, as well as the alchemist’s continuous infusion of spirit.
He planned to drop the scale stone in advance and then run away. Once the temperature rose, it would blast Suke Xin into the sky.
Steady.
Excellent, he had already foreseen a bright future, fast-forwarding to the end of the world.
“Young Master, are you there?”
Li Ruoruo knocked on the door, interrupting Lin Nuo’s thoughts.
“The door’s not closed,” Lin Nuo replied.
“Oh, oh.”
Li Ruoruo gently pushed open the door, then softly closed it behind her, “Young Master, good day.”
“Mm, what is it?”
“Young Master, I’ve been feeling quite a chill recently, could you perhaps adjust it for me?”
“Sure, get on the bed.”
“Okay~”
Li Ruoruo climbed excitedly onto Lin Nuo’s bed, getting on the bed had become a habit, as long as Lin Nuo allowed it, she wasn’t reserved at all.
“Come sit closer, with your back to me.”
“Okay~”
Li Ruoruo obediently sat in front of Lin Nuo, her back facing him.
Lin Nuo placed a hand on her back, beginning the ritual to dispel the chill from Li Ruoruo.
After a while, a portion of Li Ruoruo’s chill had been dispelled.
Suddenly, Lin Nuo remembered the two talismans he had purchased on a trip, one black and one white, bought from a small town he passed through on his way back. The merchant had said that if one person wore the black talisman and another the white, the black talisman could draw the energy from the person wearing the white. As for the speed of the energy transfer, it depended on the distance between the two bodies, generally within one meter, the closer the better.
Lin Nuo felt it was necessary to draw Li Ruoruo’s energy over, who knows, maybe the energy would return, and his cultivation could rise.
“Your chill is indeed severe, I can’t adjust it right away,” Lin Nuo lied.
“Ah, Young Master, what should we do?” Li Ruoruo asked anxiously.
“I have these two energy talismans, they can completely remove your chill, you wear this one.”
Following Lin Nuo’s instructions, Li Ruoruo adhered the white talisman, and then Lin Nuo himself put on the black one.
“Young Master, what do we do next?”
“Lie down, and we’ll just take a nap together.”
Lin Nuo said earnestly.
