Chapter 153 - Jinling City (1/2)

In the quiet and b.l.o.o.d.y dungeon, a woman in a green dress is lying on the ground. She is bloodstained and blood is dripping from a cut on her right wrist into the blood pool.

Lin Luoran smiles bitterly. She is bleeding. No wonder she feels weaker than being attacked by Zou Yaowei’s pink smoke.

The woman in black wants to discuss the Tao of Bolus with Lin Luoran under this circ.u.mstance — Lin’s afraid that the woman actually wants to make her into a so-called “elixir”.

“Where am I?” Lin Luoran barely opens her mouth and asks. In fact, she is in no mood of chatting. She just asked the question in order to buy time.

Lin can’t figure out whether the woman in black doesn’t know what she is thinking or the woman doesn’t even worry about her playing tricks. The woman throws the black lotus back into the blood pool, and the lotus lands on its root. Blood flows up from its stem and into the lotus. The stem is transparent and hollow so Lin can see that blood is rus.h.i.+ng up. When the petals are filled with blood, they grow larger and the seedpod appears in the center. Gradually, the seedpod becomes big enough for a person to sit on. The woman in black jumps onto the seedpod and sits cross-legged. Her hostility disappears and she almost looks like a kind “Sura Guanyin”

“This…is the one and best place in the State of Huaxia.”

The woman in black blinks. Her enchantment and hostility instantly become less.

The one and best place in the State of Huaxia. This place has a pool of blood which is full of hostility. Lin Luoran has lost so much blood that she feels dizzy. She havs some guesses but she can’t be sure of them.

The woman in black smiles charmingly and changes the topic: “We should discuss the Tao of Bolus.”

While they are talking, Lin Luoran has checked on the Reiki inside of her. As expected, the Reiki is completely disabled. Her spiritual mind is working, but she can’t reach out to the bead — this place is indeed weird.

The woman in black smiles behind her hands: “You can stop trying to buy time. This place disables all the spells. What’s the point of struggling? Rest a.s.sured, I won’t kill you right now. I’ll wait till the last drop of your blood goes into the pool. I’ll put you in my alchemy furnace the second before you breathe your last breath. I heard that you are the last descendant of the Alchemy School. What do you think about what I do? Aren’t making boluses from human body genius?”

Making boluses from human body!

The woman in black uses the blood pool to make boluses… How many people have died here? Though Lin can’t reach out to her bead, she is not completely hopeless. The woman said that this place can disable all the spells. Lin Luoran doubts this. Even a place like that exists, it won’t locate in the secular world. Everything on earth has its balance. Such a place is just more abnormal than her bead — the fact is Lin can still use her spiritual mind, which is the solid disproof that the woman in black is lying.

Lin Luoran is somehow relieved since her spiritual mind is available. Also, the Universal Sack is hanging on her waist…

The woman in black doesn’t get anxious when Lin Luoran doesn’t answer the question. As time pa.s.ses, Lin Luoran will only become weaker. There is no need to worry.

The woman grabs a jelly-like blood clod out of the blood pool and throws it into her mouth. The blood clod is the medicine to prolong life for Chairman Ai, but it is just a snack for her.

Thinking of the fact that her blood is running into the blood pool and the “elixir” the woman in black ate is mixed with her blood, Lin Luoran gets weaker. She only has one chance. She will actually die here if she can’t seize the opportunity.

When is the best timing…

Lin Luoran clenches her left fist. She only moves a few fingers and her neck starts to sweat.

The woman in black is staring at the lotus leaf while sitting on the seedpod. It seems that she has forgotten about Lin Luoran.

There is only one chance. Should she do it or not?

The ancients wors.h.i.+ped mountains, which were also the spiritual sustenance of people.

The highest mountain in a range used to be called the “ancestor mountain”. Mount Zhong was the landmark of previous Jinling City.
