I rely on tricks to cultivate my longevity

"Idiot, you really haven't made any progress at all."

"These illusions are all designed to find flaws in your state of mind, and then infinitely magnify these flaws to seduce you step by step."

"Isn't the purpose of this illusion already very clear? It's all just to defraud you of heaven-defying divine objects such as the Sky-Mending Stone. Haven't you discovered it yet?"

Being scolded by the hallucination, Lin Xixue suddenly calmed down and retracted the hand that reached into the void.

Yes, the illusion can indeed induce flaws in one's own state of mind. It is indeed possible that the entire illusion is intended to defraud oneself of the Sky-Mending Stone.

But is this really an illusion?

She dared not gamble, and could not gamble.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if a divine object like the Sky-Mending Stone fell into the hands of these monsters; but she also couldn't imagine how she would helplessly watch Bai Qing die in front of her eyes.

To save, or not to save.

Her hands hanging in the air trembled slightly, and her breathing became more rapid.

"There is nothing to hesitate about. Bai Qing is just a useful helper. If he dies, he will die." The voice of Huan Yu seemed to be very anxious, and he kept urging from the side.

"Use your brain. After Bai Qing dies, you still have Xu Zhiyi and Cheng Yanqi. You will find more and stronger helpers in the future, but there is only one Sky-Mending Stone."

"I know, I know, but" Lin Xixue felt panicked under such urging, and for a moment she burst into tears.

"What are you still hesitating about? Put away the Sky-Mending Stone!" Huan Huan roared a warning almost hysterically.

"Xiaoxue, don't cry." Bai Qing's voice became weaker and weaker. She seemed to want to raise her hand to wipe away Lin Xixue's tears, but her hand fell down weakly when she reached halfway.

"Ahem." Bai Qing suddenly curled up and coughed twice. A few drops of blue blood spurted out from her mouth, fell on the carriage board, and formed a large ice crystal.

"I have recently taught Xiao Xu how to refine the Snow Soul Pill. Although her practice is still shallow, the rate of making the pill is not high yet." Bai Qing was halfway through her words when she gasped again.

"It's true that I'm too anxious. I've said a lot of harsh words to Xiao Xu these days. I just hope that she won't bear grudges against me." After Bai Qing finished speaking, she actually chuckled twice, as if she wanted to create something relaxed. Atmosphere.

But this pretending to be relaxed made Lin Xixue even more breathless; her chest seemed to be pressed by a huge stone, her heart seemed to be twisted, she was breathless, and she didn't know what to say.

She took a deep breath, jerked her arm hanging in the air, and pulled out the Sky Mending Stone.

"Are you crazy! Have you ever thought about the consequences of the Sky-Mending Stone falling into the hands of these monsters!" The hallucinated voice was almost like the sharp neighing of birds.

"I see"

"Since I understand, then"

"But I can't bet." Lin Xixue interrupted the auditory hallucination and replied calmly. She had already made up her mind.

The next moment, the karmic fire of nothingness ignited, and the sky-repairing stone softened and melted again under the burning of the karmic fire, and a drop of the sky-repairing nectar dropped on Bai Qing's eyebrows.

In an instant, Bai Qing's aura, which had been so weak that it was almost undetectable, filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her originally blue-purple skin quickly became rosy.

But before Lin Xixue had time to turn from sadness to joy, the chill that had been suppressed by the majestic vitality of Mending Sky Fine Wine came back without warning, and the attack was even more fierce. A little blood color showed through Bai Qing's skin, and in an instant, It was frozen into a dark green color again, like a corpse frozen to death in the snow.

How could this happen? How could this happen?
Lin Xixue's eyes were stunned, and the development of the situation in front of her completely exceeded her expectations.

Divine objects like the Sky-Mending Stone could even repair her completely burned body, and even repair Xu Zhiyi's damaged soul. Why couldn't it dispel the chill in Bai Qing's body?

She doesn't understand.

She is not a saint. Faced with this situation, she really doesn't know how to cure Bai Qing.

She could only hold Bai Qing's hand with both hands and murmured: "Ah Qing, why are you so stupid? There are other ways to do it without Xue Po Dan."

"Xiaoxue, I want to go back to Lantau Mountain to have a look." Bai Qing did not answer Lin Xixue's words. Her eyes looked at the ceiling with some confusion, and she didn't know what she saw.

Lin Xixue was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and agreed: "Okay, I'll take you back right away, just hold on a little longer."

She was so panicked that she didn't care to say hello to others. She picked up Bai Qing and jumped out of the carriage, heading straight for Lantau Mountain.

When Cheng Yanqi saw this, she asked doubtfully: "Miss Lin, what are you doing?"

"It's urgent. Let's meet at our destination."

Lin Xixue didn't dare to delay any longer. She was afraid that if it was a moment and a half later, Bai Qing would die completely.

She turned her thunder body to the extreme, and the surrounding scenery almost turned into a stream of light and flew behind her, but the chill in Bai Qing's body became more and more intense.

Lin Xixue only felt that her back, which was in direct contact with Bai Qing, was first stinging with ice, and then completely numb due to the cold. Every moment, the coldness in Bai Qing's body continued to accumulate.

"Xiaoxue."

"I'm here."

"I'll tell you how to open the teleportation array first. I'm a little sleepy. I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up if I fall asleep."

Lin Xixue was choked with sobs. She really wanted to say that she couldn't sleep, and she definitely couldn't sleep now, but when the words came to her lips, all she could say was: "Okay, you say it, and I'll listen."

"Last time I left, I reversed the formation patterns of the earthquake position and the threshold position." Bai Qing finished explaining the method of activating the teleportation array intermittently, and then she lost any breath.

Lin Xixue touched Bai Qing's cheek with her shoulder, trying to wake her up, but in the end she didn't get any response.

Lin Xixue's mind went blank. It seemed that the only thing she could do at this moment was to fly towards Lantau Mountain.

She didn't know how long she had been running, and she wasn't even sure if Bai Qing was still alive, but she had to activate the teleportation array, and she had to bring Bai Qing back.

There was a flash of white light, and she took Bai Qing back to Lantau Mountain.

Everything seems to have not changed. The golden main peak reflects the afterglow of the setting sun, forcing people to close their eyes.

Without saying a word, she offered up the jade book and flew up to the main peak with Bai Qing. "Ah Qing, we're here." She shook Bai Qing's shoulders slightly.

Bai Qing's eyelids fluttered slightly and opened a slit, but Lin Xixue could clearly see from the slit that the surface of Bai Qing's eyeballs was covered with a layer of faint blue ice crystals.

Bai Qing was a little confused at first, then turned her head and looked around, then showed a relieved expression and asked: "Xiaoxue, is the scenery on the top of the mountain still as beautiful as before?"

Lin Xixue felt heartache again. She naturally knew why Bai Qing asked this question - because she couldn't see anything.

"Well, it's beautiful."

"Is it beautiful when we sit here one day and say we want to build me a home?"

"More beautiful than that day, even more beautiful than that day." The sobs in her throat made Lin Xixue repeat the words unconsciously.

"Well, that's good." After Bai Qing said that, she groped around blankly with one hand, as if she was looking for something.

Lin Xixue stretched out her hand.

Bai Qing held her hand again, and then smiled reassuringly.

Perhaps it was a reflection of his past. Although Bai Qing's hands were still as cold as ice, his speech was much smoother than before.

"Xiaoxue, do you remember what I told you about my life experience?"

"remember."

"I have been a child without a family since I was a child. My senior brother saved me from the butcher's knife. I often ask my senior brother why I want to practice."

"Senior brother said that only by practicing and becoming stronger can you control your own destiny."

"I was still young at that time, so I just asked my senior brother, how powerful do I need to become to control my own destiny?"

"Senior brother didn't say anything, he just smiled and touched my head."

"I have had no home since I was a child. I can only regard my senior brother as my home and sustenance."

"Later, my senior brother sealed himself in the back mountain, and I became a child without a home again."

"I tried to convince myself to consider Lantau Island my home, but Lantau Island is gone."

"I thought I would never have a home again in my life, until that day you told me on the top of this mountain that you would build a home for all the lonely and helpless people in the world."

"I didn't expect that the house was going to be built, but I couldn't see it." Bai Qing's tone was very casual. She took out the jade sword Lin Xixue gave her and gently rubbed it in her palm.

"Xiaoxue."

"I'm here, I've always been here." Lin Xixue squeezed Bai Qing's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would slip away from her hands.

"It would be great if we could get to know each other earlier." After saying this, Bai Qing could no longer suppress her emotions. Tears burst out of her eyes, but they instantly condensed into ice crystals and hung in the corners of her eyes.

"Xiaoxue, I'm actually very scared. I don't want to die." Bai Qing held the jade sword given by Lin Xixue in her arms and burst into tears.

Lin Xixue ignored her frostbitten skin and held Bai Qing in her arms, patting her back gently and silently comforting her.

Powerless, only powerless.

Hate, but I can't tell what I should hate, these monsters?Or should I hate myself for not noticing Bai Qing's abnormality earlier?
If he could have noticed Bai Qing's abnormality earlier and realized that all this was not an illusion earlier, maybe many things could turn around.

At least I can spend more time with Bai Qing during this time.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and there are no ifs in everything. Even the Sky Mending Stone has no effect, and the Golden Finger Jade Pase has fallen into a deep sleep. She has run out of tricks.

While waiting in despair, Lin Xixue suddenly felt that there seemed to be some crucial information that she had overlooked.

Is the Sky Mending Stone really ineffective?
Her spiritual consciousness started to move rapidly.

Although the final result was that the chill counterattacked more rapidly, if broken down into specific processes, Bai Qing's initial condition was clearly improved.

In other words, Bai Qing's symptoms improved first and then suddenly worsened.

Why does this result occur?

Could it be that while the Tianbu Stone repaired Bai Qing's body, it also repaired the cold poison?

No, absolutely impossible!

Lin Xixue quickly rejected this conjecture in her heart
——The function of Tianbu Stone is not actually to cure, but to restore.

In other words, the Sky Mending Stone will restore things to their original state.

For example, when repairing one's own body, it did not enhance the influence exerted by Tianzun, but instead restored the body to the state before it was affected by the strange existence.

When Xu Zhiyi's remnant soul was repaired, her soul was also forcibly restored to a complete state.

Even repairing the thunder patterns on the human leather gloves is the same.

The Sky-Mending Stone will only restore the original state of things, and factors that do not belong to the "original state" of things will not be repaired by the Sky-Mending Stone.

Unless Butianshi believes that this cold poison is part of Bai Qing's body?

Thinking of this, Lin Xixue's pupils trembled, and a series of clues connected in her mind.

She hugged Bai Qing tightly, as if she wanted to rub her into her body.

"Aqing, you won't die, I won't let you die!"

Well, for the sake of reading experience, I wrote this piece in 3000 words.
The next chapter should be the last chapter of the second volume. I always feel that the second volume is much longer than expected. Now I can finally start the third volume (Escape)
