The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#335 - What's the festive day today?

Although Lu Jing felt that Wang Wan probably wouldn't trouble his cousin again before she died.

But just to be safe, he moved a stool to the front of Yan Jun's bed, so that if Yan Jun's body had any problems, he could help in time.

However, after waiting for a full incense stick's worth of time, Yan Jun on the bed still didn't move, so Lu Jing couldn't help but begin to doubt whether the method Wang Wan taught him was effective.

Or perhaps the time he fetched water earlier was wrong. After all, there were no watches or anything in this era, and saying it was midnight could only be judged from the night watchman's calls.

Strictly speaking, it could be earlier or later.

But it was definitely too late to fetch water again now, and Lu Jing felt a little embarrassed to repeat what happened before, so he could only continue waiting.

While he had the time, he checked his upper dantian again.

Looking at the extra ball of energy inside, he was a little clueless.

Before this, he had been implementing a plan to avoid contact with mystic power. The advantage of this plan was that he could minimize the risk of starting mystic power cultivation, but the disadvantage was that his understanding of mystic power was probably the least in the academy, not much different from ordinary people.

So naturally, he knew nothing about what was happening in his upper dantian.

He had no idea what was going on with himself now, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

However, the wisp of nothingness in his niwan palace had now disappeared completely. According to what the book said before, he had now completely severed his Dao foundation.

So he should have… succeeded, right?

Lu Jing felt that this was quite gratifying. Although not being able to cultivate meant that he would be out of touch with those magical spells in the future, judging from tonight's experience, becoming a cultivator was not always a good thing.

If it weren't because he hadn't established a cauldron and started a fire, he would probably have been planted in Wang Wan's hands together with Yan Jun, and made into a strange object by her.

And thinking of strange objects, Lu Jing couldn't help but frown again.

In this world, there is actually a way to pursue power beyond nature by using living people as materials.

But then again, there are indeed many similarities between strange objects and eerie objects. For example, the secret book and the wedding dress that Lu Jing had previously come into contact with.

The original owners of both became eerie objects because their obsessions were difficult to dispel and they were attached to something. From this point of view, if someone could artificially achieve this process through special means, it seems not entirely impossible.

It's just that this approach is too harmful to nature, no wonder Professor Zheng said that the other party's methods were cruel and outraged both humans and gods.

Not to mention the deadly internal strength cultivation, in the past three years, he was able to practice the Mad Demon One Hundred and Eight Staffs and the Surging Waves to the point of great success, and the little wooden training dummy's contribution was indispensable.

Moreover, the relationship between the two had long surpassed these things. Amu was like his family. Lu Jing didn't really care what Amu could bring him anymore. He only hoped that the little wooden training dummy could be happy, even if it couldn't help him practice anymore, it wouldn't matter.

So even if there was only a glimmer of hope, Lu Jing also hoped to restore the little wooden training dummy and let it return to being human.

It's just that Wang Wan had also told him before her death that this kind of thing was impossible, but Lu Jing still wanted to find Mr. Ji and ask him in person.

However, he didn't know where to find this Mr. Ji now, and the other party was proficient in strange object refining, and would only be more difficult to deal with than the half-baked Wang Wan.

Although Lu Jing's desire to restore Amu was urgent, he wouldn't act rashly and put himself in danger brainlessly. At the very least, he would have to practice the Fire Scale Armor to the seventh level before he could be somewhat confident.

In addition, Lu Jing was now also somewhat suspicious of what his luck was. In fact, apart from the first night, when he earned some silver with this luck, his wealth seemed to have suddenly disappeared afterwards.

On the contrary, his romantic luck became more and more intense, and Lu Jing now recalled that his romantic luck seemed to have already started to emerge that night.

It's just that he was completely blinded by money at the time and didn't think about it in this regard.

If it really doesn't work, let's just change the luck again. Even an iron man can't stand this frequency of romance!

Lu Jing was thinking wildly when Yan Jun, who had been silent before, suddenly let out a soft moan, and then her eyebrows began to twitch.

After a while, she finally reopened her eyes.

"Chai'er?" Lu Jing tentatively called out.

"Chai'er is dead." Yan Jun replied, "My sister killed her." Speaking of this, she paused, and then continued, "But since you and I are still alive, it means that she should have been defeated by you."

Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seemed that this was indeed Yan Jun.

There are not many women in this world who can be as calm as her, who can immediately analyze their situation clearly after just escaping death.

As for the empty ghost with a not-so-good brain, it is even more impossible.

"Welcome back." Then Lu Jing said with some guilty conscience, "Do you know what happened?"

"I probably know something." Yan Jun nodded, "It seems that my brother-in-law's death is inseparable from my cousin, and she tricked me here with this matter probably to deal with me. After Chai'er died, I felt a phantom enter my niwan palace, and then I fainted, and when I woke up, I was here.

"It seems that you, Grand Master Lu, saved me this time. I owe you another favor." Yan Jun said lightly.

When Lu Jing heard her say this, he felt relieved. Fortunately, fortunately, Yan Jun did not notice the embarrassing thing. In this way, only he knew about it.

As long as he doesn't say it, wouldn't it be the same as if it didn't happen?!

Thinking of this, Lu Jing was also refreshed. He didn't expect that the problem that made him restless was solved so easily. It was great.

What a festive day today, he actually solved two big troubles in a row.

Not only is he no longer threatened by mystic power, but it seems that he can continue to be friends with Yan Jun.

Yan Jun paused and said, "Does Old Hero Zhao have anything to eat here? I'm a little hungry."

"Oh, oh, I'll go to the kitchen to see." Lu Jing finished speaking and got up. He and Yan Jun were busy investigating the case, and they didn't eat much for dinner. Although for experts of their level, if it is really necessary, there is no big problem if they don't eat for three or five days, but they will still feel hungry.

But when Lu Jing walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, and his footsteps stopped, and then cold sweat slid down his neck.

A hint of shame flashed in Yan Jun's originally calm eyes, but she still said in a calm voice, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jing trembled, "You… how do you know that this is Old Master Zhao's residence? I don't seem to have told you, right?"

"Oh, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, I saw it from the seal on the collection." Yan Jun said.

"Is that so." Lu Jing's mood was like riding a roller coaster. He reluctantly said, "As expected, Miss Yan has extraordinary eyesight."

After that, he didn't dare to stay in the house any longer, and hurriedly fled to the kitchen.
