Chapter 112                 Drinking Spirit’s Blood

Ye Shaoyang quickly picked up the torch on the ground. He brought the torch closer to the coc.o.o.n; the silk immediately melted once the fire arrived in its proximity. The melted silk revealed a hole, and cold air puffed out. Ye Shaoyang waved away the cold air. As he looked closer, he saw a pair of fair, slender legs—they must belong to a girl.

Ye Shaoyang melted all the silk with the torch. He gasped in astonishment. A delicate and pretty young girl with short blonde hair appeared before his eyes. She wore a s.h.i.+rt and a pair of short pants, and she laid inside the trunk. She looked vivid and alive.

“Oh gos.h.!.+ Isn’t that the girl we saw in the illusion, who tried to hang herself?” asked Zhou Jingru from behind Ye Shaoyang.

Ye Shaoyang sized up the young girl after Zhou Jingru mentioned this. Indeed, it was that girl. No wonder her Illusion of Death would appear underneath this paG.o.da tree. Her corpse was buried inside the tree.

“Why does she still look alive?” Zhou Jingru exclaimed. As she finished these words, the girl’s eyebrows slightly fluttered. Then, she gradually opened her eyes.

Zhou Jingru hurriedly backed off a few steps, “Is she a pseudo undead?”

Although Ye Shaoyang knew that it was not a pseudo undead, he too did not know what was happening to it either. He waited aside and did nothing. As the girl completely opened her eyes, she slowly focused on Ye Shaoyang.

“I feel so cold….”

What can I do if you’re feeling cold? Don’t tell me I should hug you? Ye Shaoyang scratched his head; he removed his s.h.i.+rt and covered the girl with it. When he inserted his hands into the hole, he felt an icy sensation. Then, he carried her out and placed her on the ground. The girl’s cheeks gradually turned rosier; her breath became slower and steadier. After a moment, she tried to sit up. She took a deep breath and tears streamed down her cheeks, “It has been three years. Finally, I can breathe fresh air.”

Ye Shaoyang and Zhou Jingru looked at each other in shock. How did she survive in a tree trunk for three years?

“Are you the one who saved me?” The girl fixed her eyes on Ye Shaoyang. Then, she continued, “Are you a sorcerer?”

Ye Shaoyang nodded, “How do you feel now?”

“I’m fine, but I’m starving and thirsty.” The girl innocently stared at Ye Shaoyang.

Zhou Jingru took out a bottle of purified water from her backpack. She gently supported the girl in her arms and helped the girl slowly drink. After she drank some water, the girl grew slightly energetic. Ye Shaoyang and Zhou Jingru decided to bring the girl back to the resort and give her some food to eat. However, she could not walk at all due to her weak state. So, Ye Shaoyang carried her on his back. He could feel her tender and smooth skin when his hands touched her thighs. He quickly chanted a mantra in his mind to prevent his mind from indulging in a flight of fancy.

“Big brother Shaoyang, how about those ground undead?” Zhou Jingru asked in a worried tone. Those ground undead did not appear again after Ye Shaoyang destroyed the paG.o.da tree demon.

“It doesn’t matter. They’re different from the usual undead. They will die after a certain time due to a lack of nutritional supply from the tree demon,” Ye Shaoyang explained.

The journey down the hill took a while. Although the girl was short and lightweight, Ye Shaoyang still panted heavily. By the time he had sent her back to the resort, he was exhausted. Zhou Jingru let the girl rest on her bed. She ordered a bowl of porridge and personally fed the girl. The girl fell asleep after she ate half a bowl of porridge.

“It’s better to let her have a good sleep tonight. We’ll talk to her more tomorrow,” Zhou Jingru suggested.

Ye Shaoyang nodded, “She will sleep with you?”

Instantly, Zhou Jingru felt worried, “Why? Is there any danger?”

“It’s nothing. Even though I don’t know how she sealed up herself in a coc.o.o.n for three years and survived, she is definitely a human. I don’t sense any strange aura from her.”

“Oh, okay.” His words relieved Zhou Jingru, “She will sleep with me. I’ll take care of her.”

Ye Shaoyang smiled, “You’re great at taking care of patients.”

“I just feel sorry for her. Besides, there is no nurse nearby. Don’t tell me you want to sleep with her?”

“Ahem.” Ye Shaoyang let out a dry cough, “See you tomorrow.” He waved his hand and returned to his room. Before he went to bed, he suddenly remembered an important matter that he had not settled—to concoct the cure medicine from the spirit’s tongue for the old village head.

It did not matter much if Ye Shaoyang treated the old village head’s grandson one day later, but the spirit Qi in the spirit’s tongue would disperse after one night. He would have wasted his efforts. So, he got dressed again and groped through the darkness toward the old village head’s house. On the way, he felt exceptionally unfortunate, as he had such a busy day today. In one day, he had captured spirits and subdued a tree demon. Worse of all; he handled all of these matters voluntarily, without any pay….

The old village head’s entire family had stayed awake and waited for Ye Shaoyang. They opened the door once Ye Shaoyang knocked. They brought Ye Shaoyang to the main hall. Ye Shaoyang used the peach wood sword to take out the three spirit’s tongues. Then, he put them into a porcelain bowl. He ignited a few sheets of talisman paper and heated the bowl from underneath. Bit by bit, the spirit’s tongues shrunk and turned into droplets of greyish-red spirit’s blood. In fact, Ye Shaoyang did not need so much spirit’s tongue, but he did not want to waste them. The three spirit’s tongue had distilled into a quarter bowl of spirit’s blood. Ye Shaoyang asked Xiao Jun to carry the baby out. Then, Ye Shaoyang fed the spirit’s blood to the baby.

After he drank a small amount of spirit’s blood, the baby stopped moving. This change immediately left the old village head and Xiao Jun stunned, “Heavenly Master, what...what...what has happened to the baby?”

“Don’t panic. It’s normal for him to faint after drinking so much spirit’s blood. If it was you, I think you’ll die on the spot. The baby contains too much spirit Qi inside him. Spirit’s blood and spirit Qi have a common origin. The spirit’s blood will automatically absorb the spirit Qi after one drinks the former.”

Once Ye Shaoyang finished his words, he pressed his palm against the top of the baby’s head. He stimulated the spirit’s blood with his Gang Qi to every meridian in the baby. When he had almost finished, he looked back at Xiao Jun, “Please get me a piece of red cloth.”

Ye Shaoyang wrapped a piece of ambergris and a handful of glutinous rice in the red cloth. He stuck a Qi Acc.u.mulation Talisman Paper on it before he placed it on the baby’s belly b.u.t.ton.

“You have to place this red sack on the baby’s belly b.u.t.ton at all times; The spirit blood will gradually come out from the baby’s belly b.u.t.ton. If the bag grows soaked, you’ll need to open it up and swap out the glutinous rice inside. Then, place it back till it completely absorbs the spirit’s blood, and he will be fine. That’s all there is to it. I’ll take my leave now.”

Before Ye Shaoyang left the room, he turned around and looked at the baby. The baby had woken up. He looked back at Ye Shaoyang with a pair of watery eyes. This sight surprised Ye Shaoyang. This baby could regain consciousness in such a short period after he drank so much spirit’s blood—this baby had a good physique. Ye Shaoyang involuntarily exclaimed, “This baby has a good physique for becoming a Daoist.”

The old village head’s eyes blinked in happiness, “Heavenly Master, if my grandson has the fate to become a Daoist, it will be his greatest honor to become your disciple.”

These words left Ye Shaoyang in a state of contemplation; he carefully thought again before he said, “If you really want him to become a Daoist, you can bring him to Maoshan Sect and find an old Daoist name Qing Yunzi. He will know what to do once he sees this baby. But...let me give you a warning. Consider this very carefully. The path to becoming a Daoist is very tough and cruel.”

The old village head frowned, “I know it will definitely be tough but why cruel? We will be very proud of him if he can become a Heavenly Master like you.”

Ye Shaoyang smiled and spoke no more. If they knew what he had gone through for the past ten years in the path of becoming a Daoist, they would not feel so keen to bring the baby to Maoshan. Ye Shaoyang had gone through all kinds of cruel tests and sufferings during his training. However, Ye Shaoyang neither persuaded them to bring the baby to Maoshan nor did he ask them to give up. He left the choice to them. Whether they brought the baby to Maoshan or not, it was their decision. After all, it depended on the baby’s destiny.
