Chapter 2163: Must Learn
Her surroundings felt increasingly chaotic and Ning Shu finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
She stopped cultivating and quickly took out a talisman. She pressed the talisman to her forehead and her heartbeat slowed down and evened out.
When the heart was placed under heavy stress for a long time, the organ would eventually fail.
“Ah…” A pained voice sounded from outside the tent. Ning Shu looked outside and saw several men lying on the ground while clutching their chests.
Cheng Mingzi pressed the handle of his horsetail whisk on the forehead of one of them. Then he pulled off the man’s clothes with one hand, bit open his own finger, and drew a spell over the man’s heart.
Ning Shu stared at the spell Cheng Mingzi was drawing. She moved her hand to follow his movements and drew the spell once. She’d never seen this spell before.
After Cheng Mingzi finished, the man gasped and calmed down.
Ning Shu walked over to the man and stared at his chest. She looked at the spell and tried copying it again.
This spell was brimming with spiritual energy and only relied on Cheng Mingzi’s blood.
She had to learn this.
This was different than when she had been a Taoist priest on Mount Mao. After all, that was during modern times, and many ancient techniques and knowledge were lost.
Gu Rui raised his eyebrows when he saw how calm Ning Shu was. “You aren’t being affected much, are you?”
“I am being affected. My heart feels uncomfortable, but I’m trying to stay strong.” Ning Shu was still practicing drawing the spell.
Gu Rui ignored Ning Shu and stared at the tomb’s entrance with a serious expression.
Gu Rui had always displayed confidence, but in the face of an unknown enemy, he couldn’t help but frown.
“This isn’t very good.” Mo Juechen sighed.
Gu Rui didn’t speak, but his attitude was firm.
Cheng Mingzi drew spells on everyone. Mo Juechen originally didn’t want to be drawn on, but every situation had its professionals. In such a strange situation, it was best to listen to those who were most knowledgeable.
“Stretch out your arm. I’ll draw it on your wrist,” Cheng Mingzi told Ning Shu. Under the flickering light of the fire, his face looked a bit pale.
It was obviously very draining to draw so many spells.
Ning Shu rolled up her sleeve and stretched out her arm in front of Cheng Mingzi. Cheng Mingzi squeezed his finger and fresh blood seeped out. Then he drew the spell on Ning Shu’s wrist.
His movements were quick and fluid and the spell was drawn very skillfully.
Cheng Mingzi’s blood felt scalding on Ning Shu’s wrist and the warmth spread to every corner of her body.
It was amazing. This spell was much more advanced than hers.
Ning Shu stared at the spell and sincerely praised Cheng Migzi, “Taoist Cheng, you’re so awesome.”
Cheng Mingzi just shook his head. His expression was a bit grave. He had lost much of his strength before even entering the tomb.
Ning Shu took out a pill and presented it to Cheng Mingzi. “Taoist Cheng, this pill helps to replenish spiritual energy and blood. You should try it.”
She’d secretly refined this medicine, but since it was only made from ordinary materials, it wasn’t as good as the ones made from the spiritual ingredients of a cultivation plane.
Cheng Mingzi was going to ignore her, but when he glanced at the pill in Ning Shu’s hand, he was stunned. He hurriedly grabbed the pill and brought it to his nose.
“Where did you get this?” Cheng Mingzi asked Ning Shu.
Even Gu Rui and Mo Juechen were staring at her.
“My father gave it to me. He said that he got it from a wandering master. I was told that it can cure diseases. You should take it.” Ning Shu wasn’t doing this for nothing. She had her eyes on Cheng Mingzi’s spell.
“This is good stuff.” Cheng Mingzi took the pill and within a quarter of an hour, his face had regained its color.
“Do you have any more of these pills?” Cheng Mingzi asked Ning Shu. He shook his horsetail whisk.
Ning Shu took out a porcelain bottle and said, “There are two more. Taoist Cheng, do you want them? I can give them to you.”
