"Uh, how about this, if I can successfully rescue Ning Aoxue tomorrow... I’ll agree to any condition of yours that doesn’t go against reason, okay?" Lin Feng asked Lu Lu, half-jokingly.
"Alright!" Lu Lu smiled happily at Lin Feng, nodding her head repeatedly, "You said it, a man’s word is his bond, hard to take back once given!"
"Of course, I said it..." Lin Feng said with a smile, but he secretly added in his heart, if I don’t come back, it won’t be considered breaking the promise, right?
"You brat, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Since you’ve added the condition of successfully rescuing her, you simply want your senior sister to help you..." Lu Lu looked at Lin Feng with a smile, feeling quite pleased with herself, "I actually came here to help you this time!"
Then, under Lin Feng’s somewhat astonished gaze, Lu Lu took out three small, warm items from her arms, a yellow talisman, a small jade bottle, and a thin piece of paper...
"What are these things?" Lin Feng instinctively picked them up to take a look, finding that none of the three items were familiar to him. With his knowledge, he surprisingly didn’t know what their purposes were.
"This talisman is called the Diamond Talisman, an Intermediate Spirit Talisman. Wearing it will automatically activate under great external force, helping you withstand damage, allowing you to avoid significant harm for five minutes... However, against stronger opponents, it might only be effective for one or two minutes," Lu Lu explained to Lin Feng, pointing at the talisman, "It’s mainly to prevent sneak attacks from experts, giving you a chance to fight back after losing the initiative..."
An Intermediate Spirit Talisman? It sounds like a good thing, but can a small piece of paper really have an effect? In Lin Feng’s heart, he wasn’t convinced that such a thing could save lives since the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, although miraculous, was at least made of jade, while this talisman is made of paper...
Uh, well, anyway, Lin Feng chose to trust Lu Lu. This small yellow paper isn’t heavy to carry, and it might really be useful!
"Inside the jade bottle is Elixir Liquid, a by-product of my grandpa’s Alchemy failure... Its only function is to quickly restore your Inner Strength in a short time, but you can drink only a small sip a month because it has side effects!" Lu Lu warned Lin Feng seriously, "After drinking it, for about half a day, your Inner Strength won’t deplete at all, but the next day, your entire body’s meridians may not be able to hold a bit of Inner Strength, in other words, you’d become an ordinary person..."
"I understand..." The effect of this Elixir Liquid is easy to understand, as the Yin Yang Life Changing Needle Lin Feng used had a similar effect—drastically boosting the body’s capabilities in a short time, resulting in weakness afterward as the cost of overusing potential body energy.
"And this piece of paper records a movement technique from our Tianji Sect, called Shadow Shifting..." Lu Lu looked gently at Lin Feng, "Unlike those Martial Arts that can be freely sold, this is a light movement technique not passed on to outsiders, which I personally wrote down for you. Once you’ve memorized the cultivation method, remember to dispose of this paper immediately!"
"Shadow Shifting..." Lin Feng picked up the white paper in astonishment, instinctively glanced down, and indeed, the paper described an advanced movement technique that required Innate Vitality to cultivate. According to the instructions, once mastered, the body could perform aerial turns in defiance of gravity, a combat skill far superior to the Wind-Drifting Willow Step Lin Feng had learned before...
"Logically, with these three life-saving treasures, plus your little bit of brain, you shouldn’t have problems with any opponents, right?" Lu Lu looked at Lin Feng, smiling lightly.
"There shouldn’t be any problem now..." Lin Feng nodded. If earlier he only had thirty percent confidence in successfully rescuing Ning Aoxue, now he had at least seventy percent assurance!
Early the next morning, Lin Feng left directly without waiting for others to get up. After the night visit from Su Zi and Lu Lu, he realized that if he stayed in the villa, he would only make the others worry unnecessarily. Rather than dragging things out, it was better to leave decisively!
...
Jiming Temple on West Mountain is one of the few temples in Jiangzhou City that hasn’t been developed for tourism. Following a winding stone path upwards, halfway up, you can see the small temple standing atop the mountain peak.
Since the mountain path is rugged, and cars can’t access it, Jiming Temple doesn’t receive many visitors. Coupled with the winter season, the whole temple naturally felt a bit quiet.
The mountain’s air was fresh; stepping on the stone path, holding the slightly chilly railing, quietly basking in the winter sun, listening to the faint chanting from the temple, Ning Aoxue, who originally thought she’d be very scared, found her mood unexpectedly calm... Then, she turned her head and silently glanced at the slender figure next to her, dressed in black, face covered with a veil, revealing only a pair of starry eyes.
This veiled woman in black was the Jade Raksha who took Ning Aoxue last night...
"Miss, although you said you’ll release me when Lin Feng arrives, I still want to remind you... I’m the daughter of Ning Fuxun, a wealthy businessman in China, and my family has a lot of money. If you let me inform my dad to pay ransom, I’m sure he’d be willing to spend to save me... As long as you keep your promise, my dad could at least give you a ransom of one hundred million US Dollars and guarantee not to hold you accountable, understand?"
Ning Aoxue spoke in very fluent English to the woman beside her, hoping she would give up dealing with Lin Feng...
After listening to Ning Aoxue, the Jade Raksha slowly turned her head, quietly gazing at her, and said lightly, "Miss Ning, I don’t understand why you’re so intent on convincing me. As you said, Lin Feng is merely your bodyguard with no other relation. It’s only natural for him to rescue you... yet, you constantly remind me of your family’s wealth. Should I interpret this as your attempt to use money to save your bodyguard? Don’t forget, you’re still my hostage..."
"Uh... I didn’t mean that..." Ning Aoxue felt somewhat embarrassed after Jade Raksha so directly pointed out her thoughts.
"Then I ask Miss Ning to stay a bit quiet... You rarely get the chance to visit a temple, right? Since it’s such a rare opportunity, why not truly immerse yourself in the peacefulness of the temple?" Jade Raksha gently advised Ning Aoxue.
Ning Aoxue suddenly felt the temple atmosphere becoming utterly irritating.
