Upon entering, there was a pile of bones. Ji Mofan immediately recognized them as fox bones, and judging from the state of the skeleton, it must have been dead for several decades, which corresponded to Li Jinchu's story.
The stench of blood inside had dissipated considerably because the door had been kept open, but its presence was still undeniable.
Blood flowed from the bed in the inner room, meandering far away along the cracks in the marble floor.
Li Jinchu stepped forward, waved her hand, and a burst of spiritual energy flew out, pulling up the blood-stained bed curtains.
A bloodied and mangled human-shaped object was covered by the blanket.
Even Ji Mofan, who was used to seeing bloodshed, couldn't help but frown at this moment.
The person's skin had been completely peeled off, and it was wrapped around her neck like a scarf.
The red flesh was directly exposed to the air, the mouth was wide open, and the eyeballs, which were just muscle tissue, were bulging out. The level of horror was simply indescribable.
No wonder it scared an old woman to death at first glance.
“Heaven’s sins are forgivable,” Li Jinchu murmured.
Ji Mofan also noticed that the wardrobe door in the corner of the room was slightly ajar, and a brightly colored fur scarf was hanging inside.
Those who reap what they sow will not live.
The longsword flew out of the silver-white scabbard at Li Jinchu's waist with a whoosh and pierced straight towards the pile of fox bones on the ground outside.
The moment the blade pierced down, the once-solid bones instantly turned to dust, rising into the air without wind.
Ji Mo Fan vaguely caught a glimpse of the shape of a small fox.
Like an illusion, the thing quickly dissipated.
“The rest is not our concern.” Li Jinchu sheathed his sword. “The karma in the human world has been settled; how to judge it is a matter for the underworld.”
Jimo Fan had no objection to this.
After returning to the Yuncang Sword Sect, he practiced his sword alone in the bamboo forest next to his courtyard for a long time.
He rarely considered communicating with monsters in the past.
He had tried, but those monsters were mostly devoid of human nature, and in the end, forceful suppression was the most effective method, so he stopped wasting his time.
In the minds of most cultivators, it is as natural as humans slaughtering livestock.
But perhaps some of these monsters have their reasons? Perhaps they don't kill people for no reason?
Some monsters are indeed bloodthirsty, but Ji Mofan has also seen many monsters that turn and run away as soon as they see a person.
Li Jinchu offered him a new solution.
"Xiaofan."
After finishing a sword move, amidst the rustling of bamboo leaves, Ji Mofan heard another sound that he didn't really want to hear.
"Master, what is it?" He looked at Shen Yun, not even intending to jump down from the bamboo stake, his gaze sweeping down from above.
Although Shen Yun was not feeling well, he didn't say much at this moment.
He vaguely felt that he had been frequently getting the short end of the stick in front of Ji Mofan lately.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he hasn't come to see anyone much lately unless they need something from him.
Wasn't this how they used to get along as master and apprentice?
Why didn't I feel this frustrated back then?
"It's about Xiaoyu." Sweeping away any unnecessary thoughts, Shen Yun brought up the real reason he had come.
"He's injured, yet he's not resting properly in his own courtyard. What happened this time?" Ji Mo Fan asked. "Master, you can't blame me this time, can you?"
“...Yes, it’s all Ge Yue’s fault this time.” Shen Yun’s voice was somewhat hoarse when he mentioned Li Ge Yue’s name. “But now, the only person who can help him is you.”
Ji Mo Fan frowned slightly.
“We did agree before that I could give the rewards from the Dao Asking Tournament to Xiaoyu for his treatment.” His voice was slightly deep. “But there are still more than half a year until the Dao Asking Tournament.”
“If it weren’t for the Dao Inquiry Conference, Xiao Yu’s current physical condition probably wouldn’t be able to hold out until next year’s Dao Inquiry Conference.” Shen Yun shook his head. “Didn’t Xiao Yu come to you before and mention that he hoped to become your Daoist partner?”
The temperature around us seemed to have dropped subtly by a few degrees.
Ji Mofan held the Yongxue Sword in his hand. The deep blue blade had become somewhat hazy, and an unusually thick layer of frost had unknowingly formed on it.
"Does Master want me to be Xiaoyu's healing vessel?" He asked this question without any politeness, using very harsh words.
Shen Yun was naturally uncomfortable upon hearing this. "What do you mean by 'furnace'? Xiao Yu has always had feelings for you, and you never objected to his closeness before, did you?"
That all happened before he was reborn.
The reason why Ji Mofan and Qi Fengyu became Daoist partners in their previous life was entirely because Qi Fengyu had been expressing her love very intensely.
He just felt it didn't matter who it was; since becoming Daoist partners would make Qi Fengyu happy, then so be it.
Now, there is not a trace of romantic feeling left.
"I'm not willing right now," Ji Mofan replied coldly.
Shen Yun's expression was grim. "Can you really bear to see Xiao Yu's health deteriorate like this?"
"Master, should I damage my own body for his treatment?" Ji Mofan's eyes flashed with clear impatience.
There are indeed cultivation methods in the cultivation world that are based on close relationships, but they are generally best used when both parties are of equal strength, so that they can complement each other.
Otherwise, it would only be one party taking from the other.
The most suitable person to be a so-called furnace or cauldron is a cultivator with a water-elemental root like Qi Fengyu. However, he is currently seriously injured and his body is already weak. He has nothing to take away, so in this situation, he can only rely on the other party to provide it.
Ji Mo Fan is also a water-transformed ice spirit root, and is compatible with water in terms of attributes, so he is indeed the most suitable person to be Qi Feng Yu's blood pack.
