Chapter 1398 – Sudden Attack
Even if he isn’t at prime power yet, it was possible to fight it out with Lin Yi and kill or cripple him even with his injuries. With the valuable stuff, Lin Yi had with him taken into account, a bit of injury was nothing!
Feeling that hostile gaze from Elder Yu, Lin Yi smiled coldly. As expected, this old man couldn’t hold it in anymore and was ready to make a move on him. But Lin Yi, naturally, had the same thought.
Seeing the exit, nobody let Lin Yi take the lead anymore- they all felt that there was no danger left, and so Elder Yu and Old Hei were moving at the front while Lin Yi moved at the back with his group. The path was narrow, and the footing wasn’t stable- it wasn’t a smooth climb.
They all expected to be able to see the light soon after waking, but it’d been about an hour and still, there was no signs. It seemed as if the path would never end- and because the path wasn’t a straight one, but one with curves, they couldn’t see the direct scenery before them.
After about two hours, Elder Yu started to panic. “What is up with this? It’s been so long. Is this really the right path?”
“It should be right?” Old Hei was confused as well- though they did take long to enter as well, the entrance was not the same as the exit. They should’ve seen the light already–why was it taking so long?
“There’s no danger right now, keep walking.” Lin Yi didn’t feel anything from the jade, and so he continued walking without worry.
Hearing that from Lin Yi made Elder Yu calm down. After all, his predictions these past few days were all accurate- thinking back to the amount of time they spent to get into the tomb, it was way more than just a couple hours even taking away the traps and mechanisms.
They moved forward quickly, and after walking for a day, Lin Yi made a suggestion to rest when it was nighttime.
He didn’t need to rest, but Xiaoke’s strength is too weak. She wasn’t even Golden class yet and had a pitiful amount of qi inside her with limited endurance. He suggested the rest because she looked tired.
“What’s with all this trouble? You want to sleep? You’re a Mystic practitioner, what the hell are you sleeping for?” Old Hei didn’t mind, but Elder Yu wasn’t taking it. They were about to make it soon, what was this rest thing? Rest when they got outside, why rest now!
“If you want to you can go first, the exit’s right there. You don’t need us anymore.” Lin Yi said with a faint look before sitting down and practitioning.
“You- Hmph!” Elder Yu wanted to go first, but he remembered the stuff Lin Yi had. He hmphed coldly before looking for a place to sit down and practition as well. Should he make a move tonight?
They didn’t know how long this path was, so how long would it take if Lin YI kept stopping like this? He could see by this point that the person Lin Yi was looking out for was Xiaoke and not Old Hei, and this pissed him off. Damn pervert, trying to protect the pretty girls- what was the female thief doing, she didn’t seem to care?
Old Hei let out a breath of relief and lay down, not wasting any time. He needed to rest quickly since he had the weakest physical ability here- putting it bluntly, he was weaker than a dog!
Seeing that General Weiwu jump about energetically made him feel some serious sadness. He was way too weak.
Xiaoke wasn’t wasting any time either, quickly eating some compressed cookies and sleeping.
Lingshan and Yutian were partitioning as well, along with Elder Yu. Only LIn Yi took out his flashlight and started reading the medical notes, about the Fu Xi needles.
Acupuncture was a mysterious medical art, and with the passing of time, much of that information had been lost. The Fu Xi needles also became a thing of legend because of that!
What surprised him was the fact that the needles were given to Liju by a friend- it wasn’t out of nowhere! After much of Liju’s experience, it was basically for certain that these needles were the ones that were said to be able to resurrect people!
But, even so, Liju was unable to use it- the production of the Fu Xi needles was a special one, but even though it’s special, Liju didn’t see what was so miraculous about it. While using them, they felt just using regular silver needles, with no obvious effects.
After a few more times of experimentation, Liju put the needles back into its box and put it away- the legendary needles were nothing special, much to his disappointment.
But, in an encounter that came later, Liju heard a legend that the Fu Xi needles needed to be paired with a specific practitioner’s art, and without it, those needles would just be regular needles.
Lin Yi had heard about using qi together with acupuncture, and even his current style of using needles was done using qi. It was the old man’s thing, except that they needed less of the qi as a supporting role. They need not have a specific practitioner’s art, either, with mostly just skill and a bit of qi.
But the Fu Xi needles clearly emphasized on the use of qi, and in the hands of Liju, they were just normal needles. He kept them stashed away.
This was also why Lin Yi found it outside- it was a personal item, it would have been buried with Liju himself, or put in a personal room instead of some drawer stacks.
It could also be seen that while Liju valued the needles, he didn’t really care.
Liju couldn’t use it, and that meant that Lin Yi didn’t know how to use it as well- but just putting it aside with him, for now, would be good. Who knew if it would come in handy later, after all, especially based on Lin Yi’s experience with that so far?
Like that box that he bought in the auction, he didn’t think about what to use it for, only getting it with Xiaoxiao’s help- and now it turned out to be something that could be used to save Xiaoxiao! Life really was full of coincidence, and when Xiaoxiao helped him get the box she also had no idea of what it might help them with in the future.
