CHAPTER 39

He had a lifetime of patience to slowly bring someone around.

A three- or four-year-old boy was blasted out on the spot after the talisman hit a boulder with a 'boom'. He was wearing greenish-blue child's clothing, and his hair was bunched up with a white cloth in a round bun. He wasn't fat, but he had a chubby face, round and big eyes, and fair and delicate skin, giving him a 'round as a pearl and smooth as jade' appearance.

But he was nonetheless quite different from an ordinary kid. He was enveloped in a faint greenish-blue glow, and his entire body seemed transparent-not just an ordinary human child at first glance.

Seeing him, Fu Changling immediately twirled three more talismans in his hand. As soon as the little boy noticed the three talismans between Fu Changling's fingertips, he quickly clutched his head and bawled out loud, "You blew me up! I saved your life, but you even blew me up. It's not enough to blow me up once with a talisman; you want to blow me up twice, three times, and four times? You thankless wretch! You're a hound that bites even a good immortal like Lü Dongbin, taking someone else's kindness for malice!"

The little boy cried so loudly that his wailing echoed throughout the cave, and Fu Changling felt a bit like a villain when he was crying like that. He observed for a moment and saw that all the little boy did was cry, so he hesitantly put away the talismans. After waiting for a while, he saw that the little boy kept on crying. As the pain from his Jindan was so excruciating that he couldn't stand to be with this little boy, he sighed and sat down on one side, saying, "You cry first, and then we'll talk after you're done."

With that, he leaned against the stone wall and gave his surroundings a glance.

All around were white bones with blood-red flowers blooming on them, and not far away was a small creek, which was emitting cold air and flowing sluggishly outward.

It seemed that this little boy was indeed the only one here.

After confirming this, Fu Changling looked down and started examining his wounds.

His wounds had all been bandaged, indicating that they had indeed been treated by someone. He sat down in the lotus position, tried to channel his Qi to different parts of his body, and could feel his Spiritual Root functioning, but his Jindan was gone, and nothing remained.

To say that he didn't feel a sense of loss the moment he realised this would be a lie. After all, this Jindan had gone round and round in circles, but in the end, it couldn't be preserved.

After crying for a while, the little boy next to him gradually stopped when he realised Fu Changling wasn't paying any attention to him. He observed Fu Changling's expression and noticed a hint of disappointment on his face. He then guessed Fu Changling's thoughts and cautiously said, "Umm, the flowers next to you. Eat some. It might help you feel better."

Hearing what he said, Fu Changling turned his head to give him a look. When he saw the little boy's apprehensive expression, he couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't you just bare your fangs and brandish your claws, threatening me, and now you're helping me?"

"I'm feeling sorry for you!" When the boy heard this, he was suddenly a little enraged. Noting that the boy appeared to be strong on the outside yet feeble on the inside, Fu Changling pushed himself to get up, went to the side, and picked some red flowers and brought them to his face to examine them carefully.

This flower looked fairly similar to the red spider lily on the Su Clan's sleeve, but up close it was slightly different, with a black central part that took on a slightly ghostly aura.

After giving it some thought, Fu Changling recognised what this was.

This was the Skullflower that fed on humans and bloomed on their skulls. When consumed, this flower, despite carrying an evil aura, was just as highly beneficial as the Flower of Renascence.
