The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 689 - 686: Blood Calamity
This incense stick is only about the length of two index fingers and roughly the same thickness as ordinary Buddha Incense. Its light brown color makes it look nothing special at first glance.
Xin Lin pinched the incense and glanced at it.
"Heaven-defying Book, what’s the use of this thing? It wouldn’t be meant for me to burn it while praying to Buddha, would it?"
Xin Lin was already used to the Life Book’s products, which always seemed to have a catch.
Having spent 30 Heaven-defying Value points to acquire it, she naturally wanted clear answers.
"Life Book notification: Answering this question requires a deduction of 10 Heaven-defying Value points."
The responses from the Heaven-defying Book were always the same.
Xin Lin took a deep breath, nearly snapping the thin incense stick in her hand.
Her Heaven-defying Value dropped to 286.
The person who compiled this Life-breaking Book must be an old-fashioned miser!
"Life Book notification: Mist Incense, inspired by smoke grenades. Based on smoke grenades but reshaped into incense form, it lasts for a quarter hour. Once lit, it quickly expands to envelop everything within a one-li radius in fog, thick enough that you wouldn’t see your hand in front of your face or even recognize your own mother! Most importantly, the one holding the incense is unaffected, making it an essential item for home invasions or ambushing."
My goodness!
Xin Lin looked at the thin incense stick in her hand; this thing was pretty formidable. In other words, no matter the opponent’s cultivation level, once they are trapped in the Mist Incense, they might as well be blind.
Of course, that’s just the theory.
The Mist Incense isn’t invincible, limited by range and duration – its biggest drawbacks. If she really encountered an exceedingly formidable foe, it might not be effective.
However, for Xin Lin at the moment, it was an incredibly practical treasure.
Without a second thought, Xin Lin, moved by a thought, placed the thin incense into the Tuling Cave.
"Life Book notification: Congratulations, life master, for passing the Opportunity Dice test. To unlock the new mode ’Opportunity Pawnshop,’ 100 Heaven-defying Value points are needed. Would you like to activate ’Opportunity Pawnshop’?"
Just as Xin Lin was pondering the future uselessness of the Opportunity Dice, a new prompt from the Heaven-defying Book surfaced in her mind.
Opportunity Pawnshop!
Xin Lin’s eyes narrowed.
What was that?
Heaven-defying Value points wasn’t a small amount.
And that was just to unlock it.
Xin Lin hesitated, wondering whether to activate it...
"Xiao Xin, hurry! Come save me."
While Xin Lin was hesitating, a breathless voice came from outside the School Clinic.
Immediately afterward, Xin Lin detected a very strong smell of blood.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she hurriedly ran outside.
There she saw Master Mo pushing the solo wheelbarrow she saw earlier, now covered in bloodstains.
On it lay a man drenched in blood; it was none other than Master Ji!
"Master Ji!"
Xin Lin exclaimed, suddenly understanding why she had been so unsettled tonight.
"Let’s save him first. I’ve sought help from several medical halls but none would take him, so I had no choice but to bring him back here."
Master Mo was also covered in blood but her eyes remained calm. She gestured to Xin Lin to bring the man inside first.
To avoid waking Little Xinzhuo, Xin Lin and Master Mo slowly carried the barely conscious Master Ji into Chu Beiqing’s room.
"What happened?"
As Xin Lin examined Master Ji’s injuries, she asked.
"I’m not sure, but it is very likely related to that beast Chen He. When you mentioned Five-star Spiritual Food earlier, something felt off. Preparing the ingredients for Five-star Spiritual Food is extremely difficult. To my knowledge, Master Ji had a precious ingredient suitable for the Five-star Spiritual Food. Worried about Chen He’s intentions, I went to warn Master Ji, but it was still too late."
Master Mo and Master Ji had a good relationship; she had rushed to Taoyao Pavilion earlier.
