Chapter 433 - Back to the Temple in the Mountains (2/2)

Ning Tao shook his head.

“Do you really want to do this?” Jiang Hao asked again.

Ning Tao got up and said, “Let’s talk outside.”

Jiang Hao nodded and urged before leaving with Ning Tao, “Xiaoji, go to bed early, you still have school tomorrow.”

“I’m going to sleep now.” Hu Xiaoji snuggled in bed with her new school bag in her arms. It looked like she was going to hug it to sleep.

Who could have thought such a cute little girl was a thousand-year-old fox spirit?

Ning Tao and Jiang Hao left the room. Snow was falling inside the open courtyard; a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.

Yin Molan and Bai Jing approached them. Bai Jing asked, “How was it?”

Ning Tao said, “She had no reaction at all. It seems like we can only do that.”

Yin Molan said with a hint of worry, “Are you sure? I think it’s still too early. She’s still so young. It’s kind of cruel to do this to her.”

Ning Tao said, “The Western practitioner powers and the practitioner powers behind Genesis Biotech Company have already taken action. This means that they think that acquiring the prescription from us would make a complete prescription. We’re the disadvantaged party yet we have the greatest number of prescriptions. We’re their target, everyone wants a piece of us. If I could reawake Hu Xiaoji’s past life’s memories and get the complete elixir prescription from her, then I would not have to snatch the prescriptions from them. I’ll refine pills to make you all stronger. By then, would they still dare to act recklessly?”

“This plan is good but…” Yin Molan spoke then hesitated. He had been accompanying Hu Xiaoji to read and play chess every day and had developed a familial bond with her, and could not bear to see her being hurt.

Bai Jing said, “When did you become so wishy-washy? Isn’t it merely taking Xiaoji to visit her own grave? What’s the big deal? Didn’t you tell me just now that you also wanted to go take a look?”

Yin Molan shrugged. “Alright, take it as if I’ve said nothing.”

Ning Tao looked at Jiang Hao. “You’re Xiaoji’s mother. What do you think?”

Jiang Hao said, “I agree too. She’s no ordinary child to begin with, so her tolerance must be much stronger than ordinary children.”

Ning Tao said, “Alright, Sister Bai, I’ll leave it to you.”

Bai Jing nodded and waved her hand. A white lantern hanging by her door flew towards her and landed in her hand. She walked towards Hu Xiaoji’s room. The lantern lit up; its flame was flickering.

Ning Tao, Jiang Hao and Yin Molan followed Bai Jing towards Hu Xiaoji. During then, the lantern released a sea of white fog, which was streaming inside Hu Xiaoji’s room through the gaps of the door.

In that moment, Howling Celestial Dog ran over and bumped its head into Ning Tao’s leg. “Dad, I want to tag along to West Province.”

Ning Tao patted its head. “Then come along.”

It could be a helpful assistant after all.

Bai Jing pushed open the door. The room was filled with white fog. Hu Xiaoji could be vaguely seen curled up in her bed sleeping soundly. The school bag had already fallen to the ground.

Jiang Hao was about to go carry her but Yin Molan acted before her. “Let me do it.”

Bai Jing said, “Quick, she’s very powerful, my hypnosis will not last long.”

Yin Molan carried Hu Xiaoji from her bed while Ning Tao opened a convenient door, and the few of them entered one after another. After entering the Sky Clinic, Ning Tao did not bother observing the good-evil tripod’s facial expression and immediately opened the blood lock corresponding to the “Immortal Grave”. Another convenient door opened and when the few of them came out of it, they were already inside the Immortal Graves beside the Holy Mountain.

Their surroundings were pitch-black. The magical lantern in Bai Jing’s hand was unable to light up the entire area of the mountainside. However, a mountain entrance with the sign “temple in the mountains” written was seen very clearly, so were the stone steps and stone door behind it.

The stone door was open, it was complete darkness inside.

Ning Tao led the way. “Follow me.”

Bai Jing lifted her magical lantern high above to light their path. Jiang Hao and Yin Molan who was carrying Hu Xiaoji followed closely.

After entering the stone door, a big stone deity sculpture was illuminated and appeared within sight. It was a sculpture of a female deity of unparalleled beauty. All other sculptures suddenly paled in comparison to her.

“Is she Hu Ji?” Jiang Hao asked eagerly.

“Most likely. Follow me.” Ning Tao continued leading the way.

After passing the sculpture, there was a semicircle-shaped tomb behind. That day, when the “Picture of the Six Samsara Realms” escaped, part of the tomb and the mountain were destroyed, half of the tomb was buried by the collapsed rocks and soil. The stone coffin could no longer be seen.

Ning Tao said in a somber voice. “Sister Bai, let’s begin.”

Bai Jing spread her palm and the lantern in her hand was suspended in air. In that instant, light rays bent, the rock and soil which filled the tomb were gone, the part of the mountain which had collapsed were restored to normal. A stone coffin appeared in the middle of the tomb.

Bai Jing huffed a breath of air at Hu Xiaoji who was in Yin Molan’s embrace.

Hu Xiaoji suddenly opened her eyes.
