Chapter 10 Showdown (for further reading)

"Miss Wen, you worry too much..."

Ji Bochang said a word of relief, and said with a light smile indifferently: "We have been together day and night for more than a year, if something happens to me, can you not understand?"

"Do not…"

Wen Ruyu shook her head, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "You're a little absent-minded today, you must have something on your mind to hide from me."

"Concern..."

Uncle Ji couldn't help but let go of her hand quietly, and then pointedly said: "Sister Wen, two years is almost here..."

"..."

Wen Ruyu couldn't help feeling a bit dazed when she heard 'two years is almost here', even the fingers holding the pen trembled slightly.

Immediately, I didn't know what to think of, and smiled lightly as if nothing had happened: "Yeah, two years, very fast."

"I still remember, Sister Wen, when you first learned how to carve patterns in Yanshu, I didn't dare to speak loudly to you, and I yelled at each senior."

Ji Bo often showed a bit of nostalgia, and said with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, I can even learn the Yanshu talisman seal of the spirit puppet."

Wen Ruyu murmured slightly absent-minded after hearing the words: "Is it almost there?"

"It's almost there."

"But……"

"That's me picking..."

Uncle Ji interrupted what she wanted to say with a wave of his hand, and then he took a long breath of relief and said, "You have prepared ample materials, and you can make mistakes."

"..."

Wen Ruyu looked at the manuscript paper on the table, and gently pinned the hair scattered on her forehead behind her ears, and suddenly said with a smile: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Uncle Ji often lay down on the recliner, curled his lips and muttered, "I can't bear it."

"That's all?"

"That's all..."

"Then it's up to you..."

Wen Ruyu suddenly turned to look at him while speaking, and then teased with a teasing tone: "Now are you willing?"

"Want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course it's the truth."

"I still can't bear to..."

Ji Bo often looked at her, and said in the same joking tone: "So gentle and beautiful, with a high level of cultivation, and a good sister who is a second-ranked alchemist, who would be willing?"

"Oh~"

Wen Ruyu nodded pretending to be stunned, and asked with a smile: "Then why don't you continue to be picky?"

"I don't want to delay you..."

Ji Bochang took a long breath of relief, and said to himself: "You set a two-year deadline, even if you don't hesitate to change the puppet that the seller will make, it must be very important to you, how dare I delay it?"

"..."

Wen Ruyu was silent for a while, then said, "That puppet is really important to me."

Uncle Ji asked indifferently, "How important is it?"

"I'm dying…"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Bo Chang's pupils shrank, and he suddenly got up from the recliner, then stared straight at her, and asked a bit angrily, "What did you say!?"

"I say…"

Seeing his behavior like this, Wen Ruyu just smiled softly, and then said word by word: "My life is not long, I am about to die..."

"you……"

Ji Bochang's face turned pale for a while, and his clenched fists made a cracking sound to the joints. He took a deep breath and asked, "What's going on?"

"The Ancient Secret Realm, you probably haven't heard of it..."

Wen Ruyu couldn't help being a little distressed when she thought that he only had the second level of Qi Refining and didn't understand many things.

After pondering for a while, he explained: "It is a secret realm jointly controlled by Xianxia Mountain and several other major cultivation forces, which is opened every 30 years.

There are quite a lot of prohibitions and natural treasures inside, and there are also some caves or inheritances left by other monks.

When it was opened last time, I had just been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but I couldn't restrain my greed and signed up.

I wanted to open my eyes and experience it, but I never thought that I would encounter a cave left by an ancient monk in the ruins, touch the restriction, and fall under the Yuan Devouring Curse. "

There was a pause in her voice, and then she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white and tender arm like a lotus root, but there was a small blue mark on that forearm.

The imprint seems to be some kind of talisman, just looking at it has a sense of evil.

"This Yuan Devouring Curse is extremely strange. The person who is under the curse has no other reaction, but the speed of life essence passing away is accelerated, ranging from several times to dozens of times."

Wen Ruyu looked at the cyan imprint on her arm, and said calmly, "The Yuan Devouring Curse in me is relatively light, and the speed of life essence passing away has intensified by about ten times.

The lifespan of a monk in the Foundation Establishment period is about 300 years, and it has been more than [-] years since I was cursed..."

Her voice paused, and she said nonchalantly: "If you calculate carefully, if there is no other way to continue my life, I can live for another year or a half at most."

"..."

Uncle Ji often heard her say that he could only live for another year or so, and he couldn't help being a little dazed. After recovering, he frowned and asked: "Where is Xianxia Mountain? Sister Wen, aren't you a disciple of Xianxia Mountain?"

He seemed to have found the key, and hurriedly asked: "There are so many Jindan Nascent Soul masters in Xianxia Mountain, and you are a disciple of the sect. Could it be that they can't solve this Yuan Devouring Curse?"

"Ah……"

Seeing his hurried appearance, Wen Ruyu couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly, "You, you, sometimes you look very deep in the city, and sometimes you look innocent and cute."

Seeing that his expression was a little displeased, she patiently explained: "Xianxia Mountain is a master of cultivation, there are dozens of Jindan Daoist people, and several Nascent Soul Daoist Monarchs.

Do you know how many monks there are in the Foundation Establishment Period?
Not counting those penance cultivators who have been in seclusion for many years and don’t care about worldly affairs, there are nearly a thousand monks in the foundation-building period under the Xianxia Mountain Gate who are recorded in the register alone...

Not to mention that the Yuan Devouring Curse is an ancient method that has long been lost and has no solution. Even if the real people in the door can really dissolve the Yuan Devouring Curse, why would they help me if they have no relatives or reasons? "

"Why are you so indifferent..."

Ji Bochang hesitantly didn't know how to respond...

"This is an isolated city, far away from the world of practice. It's normal that you can't see the indifference and cruelty there."

Seeing his attitude, Wen Ruyu said to herself, "In the future, if you want to gain a foothold there, you can't be as simple as you are now, or you will be eaten to the bone."

"how about you?"

Ji Bo would often just snort coldly when he heard her preaching, and retort disapprovingly: "How did you gain a foothold in the world of cultivation with such a temper?"

"I can't stand still..."

Wen Ruyu pursed her lips and smiled, pointed to the Yuan Devouring Curse on her arm, and said, "Look, am I about to die?"

"..."

Uncle Ji's breathing was often stagnant, and for some reason, every time he heard her say that he was going to die, he felt an inexplicable sense of irritability in his heart.

He took a deep breath, calmed down and asked, "So, what do these things you said have anything to do with that puppet?"

"It could save my life..."

Wen Ruyu pondered for a while, and explained: "Although I was hit by the Yuan Devouring Curse in the ruins cave, I also found some things, the puppet jade you saw in the foundation period is one of them.

This Yanshu puppet is called 'Mirror Flower'. After refining, it can be cultivated with the lives of monks. When defending against enemies, it is as difficult to distinguish between true and false as a mirror flower and water moon. It is a tricky method of incarnation outside the body. "

"Incarnate outside the body?"

Ji Bochang couldn't help frowning when he heard this...

He has seen similar methods in some biographical scripts, saying that some Jindan Nascent Soul cultivators can refine incarnations outside the body...

Some avatars' cultivation is not even much worse than the main body. When defending against the enemy, the main body and the avatar go into battle together. With more enemies and fewer, there are many methods.

"It is indeed a coincidence to be able to refine the avatar outside the body during the foundation building period, but the avatar is ultimately derived from your own external means. Now that you can't even keep yourself, what's the use of refining the avatar?"

"..."
