Chapter 103: Fragrant Healing
After a while, Zhao Zhuo slowly withdrew his hand from Bai Jing's shoulder and looked at her pale face with concern: "Jing, why did you suddenly explode?"
When she saw Zhao Zhuo and asked about it, a faint blush appeared on Bai Jing's pale face, especially with the cool and wet feeling coming from between her legs, thinking of the sudden and fleeting feeling just now, Bai Jing was not a woman who didn't understand anything, she knew what was going on.
She felt embarrassed about her own reaction in her heart, but she wouldn't tell Zhao Zhuo that the reason why her temper suddenly burst out was because of her emotional excitement and rolling blood.
A strange fragrance wafted from the body of Bai Jingjing, distinct from her natural scent. Zhao Zhuo didn't notice it at first, but now he felt a little surprised and subconsciously took a deep sniff.
Zhao Duo didn't know where the fragrance came from, but that didn't mean Bai Jingjing wasn't aware of it herself. At first, she hadn't noticed this point, but now with Zhao Duo's reaction, Bai Jingjing suddenly felt deeply embarrassed in her heart.
The torrent that gushed out of her body was surprisingly fragrant, making Bai Jingjing restless. She suddenly pushed away Zhao Shuo's puzzled face and ran out quickly, leaving only Zhao Shuo standing there with a bewildered expression.
Bai Jingjing rushed out hastily, almost colliding with Jiang Suke who was entering from outside. Jiang Suke had never seen Bai Jingjing before, and suddenly a woman rushed out of Zhao Suo's room, which made Jiang Suke stunned for a moment.
Bai Jing also noticed Jiang Suke, but at this time she was in a state of distress and didn't even stop for a moment, just dodged Jiang Suke and disappeared with a flash.
If it weren't for the lingering fragrance that still hadn't dissipated, Jiang Suke would have thought she was dreaming in broad daylight.
With a steady heart, Jiang Suqing walked into the room and saw Zhao Shuo staring blankly at the door, looking puzzled. Jiang Suqing said: "Brother Zhao, it seems like someone just went out..."
Coming back to his senses, Zhao Zhuo looked at Jiang Suxin and immediately understood that it was definitely Bai Chixia who had been bumped into by Jiang Suxin when she went out earlier. He smiled and nodded: "Oh, you're talking about Chixia? She's one of my companions. Because she was injured earlier, she has been recovering in the secret treasure space and hasn't come out until now, so that's who you saw just now."
After listening to Zhao Zhuo's words, Bai Jing nodded and said: "En, it turns out that it was Sister Jing"
Zhao Duo looked at Jiang Suqing and said: "You've come over here, is there something on your mind?"
Jiang Suqing said: "Suqing has come to ask Big Brother Zhao, how should the two corpses of the Chongxiao Sect disciples be handled?"
Zhao Duo thought for a moment and said, "It's just two corpses after all. You can dispose of them however you want. But what about the fact that these two people disappeared without any reason? Will the Chongxiao Sect send someone to look for them?"
Jiang Suqing shook her head and said: "This... this I'm also not clear about"
Seeing Jiang Suxi's bewildered expression, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but secretly smile. If Jiang Suxi, a woman who doesn't understand the ways of the world, could provide an answer to these things, that would be a strange thing indeed.
Just looking at Jiang Suqing's simplicity, I know that this Lingyao Valley has been managed by Jiang Hua all along. Let alone the affairs of Chongxiang Sect, even if you go out of Lingyao Valley for hundreds of miles, Jiang Suqing's knowledge is not even comparable to his own.
With one hand supporting his chin, Zhao Zhuo said with a hint of playfulness: "After all, they're just two outer sect disciples. Even if we don't hear from them for several days, it's unlikely to be a big deal. As for the past few days, humph, even if no one comes to check on us, I'll still make a trip up the mountain."
Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Jiang Suxiang's eyes lit up and she blurted out: "Brother Zhao, I'm going too!"
Zhao Duo glanced at Jiang Suqing, and in that pair of eyes, a hint of hatred was visible, and he couldn't help but let out a faint sigh. How could he not see that Jiang Suqing had deeply hidden her resentment in her heart?
He nodded slightly and said, "There's no one else in the valley, and there's nothing for you to take care of here. Just focus on your cultivation, and I'll call for you when it's time to go up the mountain."
With Zhao Zhuo's guarantee, Jiang Suqin nodded excitedly. Even if she couldn't take revenge by force, it was good to go to the enemy's lair and get familiar with the terrain first.
As he watched Jiang Suqin leave, Zhao Zhuo's thoughts turned to Bai Jingjing, wondering if he was making a move on her. Anyway, given his current relationship with Bai Jingjing, he could occasionally put his arm around her waist, hold her hand, and say a few flirtatious words without being in a hurry to make a move on her.
What worried him was the dead energy inside Bai Caojing's body, that dead energy was extremely stubborn. Although it wasn't a problem at this stage, if left unchecked, as the dead energy devoured Bai Caojing's cultivation, there would come a day when Bai Caojing couldn't suppress the outbreak of the dead energy anymore. By then, it would be too late to do anything about it.
Out of the room, Zhao Zhuo walked on the small path. The Spirit Medicine Valley was indeed a good place, with abundant energy and beautiful scenery. No wonder the ancestors of the Spirit Medicine Valley were unwilling to leave this place. Even if it was himself, staying for a longer period would make him reluctant to part with such a beautiful place.
The clear spring was ringing, the entire Spiritual Medicine Valley was the domain of the Spiritual Medicine Valley, and normally no outsiders would come here. However, within the valley, everything was complete and perfect.
At this time, Bai Jingjing was wearing a thin dress and sitting on a green stone, combing her long black hair, with a straight and slender white leg soaking in the misty spring water, the hot steam swirling around her, making her look like a fairy from the Jade Pool.
When Zhao Zhuo walked step by step from afar and saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Bai Jingjing did sense Zhao Zhu's approach, and her heart couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had already finished washing up; if Zhao Zhu had arrived any earlier, he would have probably caught her in the hot spring.
Although that was the case, Bai Jingjing still felt a bit unnatural under Zhao Zhuo's gaze. After all, her thin clothes couldn't block his piercing eyes. Since Zhao Zhuo was standing not far away, she couldn't make any drastic movements, so she could only endure the shame and pretend to be calm.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the water vapor was filled with a faint scent. The white lotus flowers swayed gently, and a head of beautiful hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her bright eyes sparkled with a hint of shyness as she glanced at Zhao Zhuo and said, "You, haven't you seen what I'm doing?"
Zhao Duo smiled and walked over with big strides, looked at the hot spring, kicked off his shoes and soaked his feet in the water. As he was soaking in the warm water, Zhao Duo couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
"Ah, so comfortable! How did you find such a great spot? You're even soaking in the hot spring by yourself and didn't even call me over!"
She rolled her eyes, and Bai Jingyan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for Zhao Shuo. If she were to call out to him, wouldn't that mean he'd see everything?
Seeing the white face of Bai Jingjing with a red glow, Zhao Suo was somewhat fascinated. He liked to tease Bai Jingjing the most, who usually couldn't see her smile.
Underwater, Zhao Zhuo's foot slightly moved forward, and a warm and jade-like feeling came instantly. The small foot that was touched suddenly shrank back as if it had been frightened. Zhao Zhuo secretly smiled to himself in his heart. It is said that a woman's feet are one of her sensitive areas. Judging from Bai Jingjing's reaction, this statement seems to be true.
Bai Jing didn't expect Zhao Suo to be so bold, hastily pulling her small foot out of the water, suddenly exposing the jade-like foot that was as white as sheep's fat in front of Zhao Suo. If he wasn't worried that Bai Jing would kick him away, Zhao Suo would have pounced on it and held the perfect jade foot in his arms to admire it carefully.
Even so, Bai Jing was stimulated by Zhao Shuo's fiery gaze to quickly put on her shoes and socks.
Looking at the perfect scenery being obscured, Zhao Zhuo's face revealed an expression of infinite regret, and he leaned back slightly against the stone block behind him. Zhao Zhuo said: "Jian Ge, you must find a way to clear the dead energy in your body, otherwise, it will definitely become a great hidden danger in the future."
"Have you thought of a way?" Bai Jing asked, nodding her head slightly.
"Although I have some ideas, I'm not very confident either," Zhao Duo shook his head and said.
After listening to Zhao Zhuo's words, Bai Jing looked at him unintentionally, obviously wanting to know what he meant by his words.
As soon as he saw Bai Jingjing look over, Zhao Zhuo's eyes sparkled with a hint of sharpness and said: "I remember that you once collected the Light Spirit Clear Water?"
Bai Jing nodded and said, "That's right."
Qiao Xiao smiled and said, "The light and pure water is a spiritual water that can wash away the impurities in the body. It has the effect of rebirth and transformation, making the flesh and bones white as snow. If you can soak in this light and pure water, it's possible to eliminate the dead energy from your body."
Bai Jingyu thought for a moment and then shook her head: "It seems unlikely, Qing Ling Jing Shui doesn't seem to have such a great effect"
"Of course, if it's just this, then it's far from enough. After all, those stagnant Qi are entrenched in your body, and if you don't stimulate them, it would be good to rely on the light and pure water to bring out even a little bit of these stagnant Qi."
Bai Jing looked at Zhao Zhuo with a puzzled expression. Since Zhao Zhuo said so, it was clear that he already had an idea in his mind.
"Zhao Duo continued: 'My intention is to have you soak in the top of the alchemy furnace, I will burn fire outside, using the method of steaming, combined with some spiritual medicine's efficacy, to thoroughly expel the dead energy from your body'"
Bai Jingjing's eyes lit up slightly. If it was as Zhao Shuo said, then it wasn't impossible to give it a try.
Upon seeing the Bai Jing, Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "How about it? Shouldn't we give it a try? If nothing unexpected happens, there's at least a 70-80% chance of dispelling the death energy."
Nodding, Zhao said: "Even if there's only a 10% chance of success, we have to try. And the method you mentioned is currently the most likely to succeed. Issuing the certificate is just a try, and if it succeeds, that's great. Even if it fails, we can continue to think of other ways."
Zhao Duo patted his hand and looked at Bai Jingyan, who was only wearing a thin undergarment, as if he wanted to see through the clothes.
Although it was not the first time Zhao Shuo stared at her with that kind of gaze, Bai Jingjing still felt unnatural all over and glared at Zhao Shuo fiercely.
"Come on, let's go to the bamboo building. This isn't a place where we can recover from our injuries."
They put on their outer garments, and Zhao Zhuo and Bai Jingyi chose a bamboo building, casually setting up a prohibition spell. The two of them had solemn expressions on their faces.
The furnace in front of him was the very same one that Zhao Cheng had refined back then, and it had grown to a considerable size, large enough to accommodate two or three people.
However, at this time the furnace was filled with light and pure water, and on the ground there were many spiritual medicines. Various rare and effective spiritual medicines were ground into powder by Zhao Zhuo and scattered into the furnace. Before long, a faint scent of medicine wafted out from the furnace, and the light and pure water in the furnace turned a pale green color like jade. The flames below were burning fiercely, and mist was rising from the furnace, but standing beside it there wasn't even a hint of heat. Not only that, but smelling that fragrance actually made one feel a coolness spreading throughout their entire body from deep within their heart.
Watching the medicine being prepared, Zhao Zhuo nodded to indicate that Bai Jing could enter.
Noticing Zhao Zhuo's gaze fixed on her, Bai Jingjing felt tense, a delicate and pretty face flushed with red, her small hand tugged at her waist, and suddenly a outer garment slipped down, revealing her slender and elegant figure.
Originally, he didn't expect Bai Jing to undress in front of him anyway, so seeing Bai Jing wearing a tight-fitting undergarment float into the furnace was infinitely satisfying for Zhao Zhuo.
What a feast for the eyes! This was the reward he had managed to get from Bai Jingjing after much effort. According to Bai Jingjing's intention, once Zhao Zhuo had taken the medicine, he could leave. But how could Zhao Zhuo bear to leave? He stubbornly lectured Bai Jingjing, saying that he was worried about her and that if anything unexpected happened, he could still help out from the side.
But can he deceive Bai Jing with that little thought? He just wants to take advantage of her.
It was really impossible to outdo Zhao Zhuo, so Bai Jingjing could only agree to Zhao Zhuo's excessive demands with a mixture of shame and anger, letting him find someone nearby to witness.
Although he didn't see Bai Jing's unparalleled jade-like body, it wasn't far off either. Except for the parts covered by her tight-fitting clothes, her slender and straight legs were as white as jade, her shoulders were round and smooth, and her back was tender and delicate, all of which had been seen by Zhao Zhuo.
Soaking her whole body in the medicinal liquid, Bai Jingyu only felt like she was soaking in icy water, but there was a surge of heat that penetrated deep into her body.
Bai Jingjing began to push the hot air to impact the stagnant dead energy entrenched in his arm. At first, the dead energy didn't react at all, but as the hot air inside Bai Jingjing's body grew more and more intense, the force of the impact grew stronger and stronger. With each impact, a wisp of dead energy wrapped in hot air would seep out from the pores all over his body.
Although Zhao Zhuo occasionally swept over Bai Jing's seductive jade body, his attention was mostly still on the dead energy inside Bai Jing's body, and he did not become infatuated.
When he saw the faint aura of death being expelled from his body, Zhao Xiao was overjoyed. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing Bai Jing, he would have excitedly clapped his hands and cheered.
"Great, it's really too good, indeed effective!"
Bai Jingjing also sensed the effectiveness of this method, and a hint of joy was secretly filling her heart. However, Bai Jingjing appeared extremely calm, focusing all her attention on driving the medicinal power to dispel those deathly energies.
As the medicinal efficacy in the cauldron volatilizes, strands of death energy are emitted from the body. Because these death energies merge with the medicinal power, they dissolve into the light and pure water, so the medicinal water in the cauldron gradually turns black.
When the color of the medicinal liquid in the cauldron became deeper and deeper, Zhao Zhuo knew that the efficacy had almost dissipated. If he continued to stay there, not only would it bring no benefits, but he might even absorb the death energy into his body again.
Zhao Duo quickly woke up Bai Jingjing, and said to her with a smile: "Jingjing, you go out first, I'll help you change the medicine water."
Bai Jing was taken aback for a moment, and when she lowered her head to take a look, she saw that the originally light green medicinal liquid had turned into a dark black color.
She sprang out of the brazier, her wet clothes clinging tightly to her body, instantly making her alabaster skin appear plump and alluring. The most enticing part was the two protruding points on her chest, like a proud red plum blossom, almost causing Zhao Zhuo to become infatuated at first sight.
Bai Jingjing noticed that Zhao Zhuo's eyes were not quite right, and only then did she realize that she was actually walking in the light. She let out a low cry, stretched out her hand to grab the clothes hanging on one side, covered up the spring light on her body, and at the same time lifted her foot to trample heavily on Zhao Zhuo's foot.
Zhao Duo let out an exaggerated cry of pain, while in his mind he was savoring the half-transparent little garment under which two bright red dots were visible, and at the same time his hands did not stop helping Bai Jingyi change the medicinal water in the cauldron.
So three or five times, perhaps with some defense, although every time the medicine water is changed, Zhao Zhuo can appreciate some spring light, but everything is just a glimpse of a startled swan, and being able to see that round jade leg is already an extraordinary kindness from Bai Jing.
For the past two days, Zhao Zhuo and Bai Jing had been staying in the small building, focusing all their attention on dispelling the dead energy. During this time, Jiang Suqing came once, but was sent away by Zhao Zhuo.
On this day, Zhao Zhuo helped Bai Jingyu change the medicinal water and looked at Bai Jingyu soaking in the medicinal water. Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "How do you feel? Has the dead energy inside your body been completely eliminated?"
Bai Jing said: "I think it should have been completely eliminated, originally this time could be saved, but you, insisted on making people soak, these few days almost didn't leave the furnace for half a moment, I'm about to become a fish in the water"
Zhao Duo burst out laughing and said: "Even if you become a fish in the water, you're still a beautiful mermaid. It's better to soak once more, just in case there's a bit of dirt that wasn't washed away, wouldn't that be a big trouble later on?"
"The new book is on the shelves, those who can subscribe should subscribe, and if there are flowers, they must be thrown. Flowers are the driving force for explosion, at least 300,000 words will explode, let's make it more intense!"
