Chapter Seventy: Jade Mine

He Yaoyao paused for a moment after hearing this, then looked at her meaningfully: "Oh, right, there's a jade mine nearby. You must be here looking for jade. But that jade mine was mined out a few years ago, so it should be empty now."

Jingwu raised an eyebrow but didn't reply.

Seeing that her face darkened, He Yaoyao immediately smiled and said, "I know a mountain range with abundant spiritual energy, and there is also a jade mine there. I'll take you there."

Jingwu nodded: "You don't need to take good care of your injuries. Just tell me the place, and I'll go by myself."

"That won't do. I went through a lot of trouble to find that place. What if you reveal it and let those greedy people come and ruin the feng shui? Wouldn't I be losing more than I gain?"

Jingwu thought for a moment and agreed, finding her words reasonable: "Okay, then you can take me there."

Hearing that she had agreed, He Yaoyao immediately sat down and regulated her breathing.

A moment later, she stood up, cast a fox clan illusion spell, and took the person away.

Jingwu followed her all the way, and all she saw seemed the same, so she knew she was being deceived. But she understood, after all, mountains with excellent feng shui and abundant spiritual energy were easy targets for people.

It took them quite a while to reach the mountain range.

He Yaoyao erased the array she had set up, and an entrance appeared before the two of them.

Jingwu followed behind her into the mine.

Upon entering, one immediately senses an abundance of spiritual energy.

The walls are covered with jade, which is dazzling and sparkling.

He Yaoyao raised her chin slightly with pride and looked at the person in front of her with a smile: "Master, these are all top-quality jade stones that I selected. Please choose whichever you like."

Jingwu smiled and nodded, reaching out to test the spiritual energy within the jade.

Then, he selected seven or eight pieces of jade with abundant spiritual energy.

These pieces of jade can be transformed into spiritual jade with a little processing.

Seeing that he had enough jade for the formation, Jingwu decided not to take any more.

"alright."

"All done?" He Yaoyao looked at the seven or eight pieces of jade and twitched the corner of her mouth. "Don't you want to pick a few more? Or you can go inside and pick some; there are still many stones inside that are exactly as they were."

Jingwu smiled and shook his head: "That's enough."

Seeing that she insisted, He Yaoyao did not force her further.

The two walked out of the mine. Jingwu put the jade away and looked back at her: "Do you need my help with your matter?"

"No need. I am a fox spirit after all. My cultivation over several hundred years is not something to be taken lightly. Dealing with a mere human is more than enough." He Yaoyao tossed a strand of hair aside, somewhat disdainfully.

Jingwu nodded, said goodbye, and left using a teleportation spell.

He Yaoyao watched as the person disappeared from her sight, and her breath collapsed instantly, her face turning pale.

No matter what, it was a demon-suppressing formation; how could it only be a superficial injury?

He Yaoyao supported herself against the wall and walked into the mine.

Deep inside the mine was a jade bed of emerald green. She climbed onto the bed and began to regulate her breathing using the spiritual energy within the cave.

It was already midnight when Jingwu got home.

Without a moment's rest, she immediately went to the kitchen, took a basin, and put the jade she had brought back into it.

Then he placed it in front of the window, cast a spell, and made the jade absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If it absorbs for another three or four days, it should be able to transform into spirit jade.

After Jingwu finished doing all this, he immediately went to bed to rest.

Three days later, she checked and found that the jade had completely transformed into spiritual jade. She immediately took it to the back garden and began to set up an array.

It took all afternoon to finish setting up.

In the evening, after dinner, Jingwu called Yao Chenbi over and had her enter the formation to sit cross-legged and heal her injuries.

The original array's spiritual power was too strong; mortals certainly couldn't withstand it.

Therefore, Jingwu spent an hour making slight adjustments to the formation to make it gentler.

As soon as Yao Chenbi sat down, she felt a gentle force enter her body and linger throughout her limbs.

The sensation traveled over her body, and then I felt a warm sensation on my face, along with a slight tingling and pain.

Yao Chenbi really wanted to reach out and scratch, but for some reason, she couldn't lift her hand.

Fine beads of sweat slowly dripped from his forehead and fell to the ground.

"My God!" Xue Wenhui exclaimed in surprise as she watched the burns on her face heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jingwu stood aside, and seeing that it was about time, he said, "That's enough, come out."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chenbi seemed to awaken from a dream, slowly opening her eyes and standing up.

She stepped out of the formation, looking somewhat puzzled, and asked the person in front of her, "Master, is that all?"

Jingwu gave a look to the other side, and Xue Wenhui immediately took out a mirror and handed it to her.

When Yao Chenbi looked in the mirror, she was overjoyed. Touching the scars on her face that had faded considerably, she murmured, "Master, is this real? My face... is actually healing!"

Jingwu nodded: "For the next few days, you will come to this formation every day to heal your injuries until all the scars on your face have faded away."

"Yes, thank you, Master." Yao Chenbi burst into tears of joy, looking at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes: "How can I ever repay you, Master?"

Upon hearing this, Jingwu replied without hesitation: "Do more good deeds and accumulate more merit."

Yao Chenbi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely listen to the master's words."

Seeing that she had agreed, Jingwu didn't say anything more and returned to his bedroom to prepare for sleep.

The next second, a noise came from the window.

Looking up, I saw a figure standing outside the house.

Jingwu found it strange, but the next moment he smelled a familiar scent, so he immediately put on his coat and went outside.

She looked at him with a half-smile: "It's not good to be sneaking around outside a girl's bedroom in the middle of the night."

Yue Huai turned around with a smile in his eyes and held up the things in his hands: "I specially brought this wine from the Xuanmen. This is peach blossom wine that my master brewed with a lot of spiritual power. Drinking it will increase your cultivation. I begged and pleaded with my master to give me a pot."

Jingwu's eyes lit up instantly as he looked at the peach blossom wine in his hand, his eyebrows curving into a smile.

"I'm so sorry!"

Although he said that, he immediately reached for the wine jug.

Yue Huai immediately raised his glass, a smirk playing on his lips: "I only have one pot, can't we drink it together?"

Jingwu blinked, thinking that he couldn't really keep it all for himself, so he decided to welcome him into the house.

Then, after rummaging through drawers and cabinets, he found two wine glasses. Feeling that he was missing some snacks to go with the drinks, he decided to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.

Yue Huai grabbed her and pulled her back.

Then, as if by magic, he pulled out two bags of food wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve and placed them on the table.

“I’ve prepared everything, so don’t bother. If you wake up your uncle and aunt again, they might kick me out with a stick.”
