>I’m not tired.”

“How much do you know about Gu techniques?”

Su Zimo came to Xiaoning’s side and asked a question to divert her attention so that she could finally relax her strung up emotions.

“Actually, Gu techniques were not meant to harm people in the ancient era,”

Pondering for a moment, Xiaoning said, “Initially, the cultivators who created the Gu techniques never thought of using it to harm others.
Instead, they used it to heal their injuries and raise their combat strength.”

“It is similar to how poison can be used to kill others at times but save lives at others.”

Su Zimo nodded.

According to the different properties of different Gu worms, it could indeed achieve such an effect.

“As the Gu techniques grew stronger and more Gu Masters were produced, many factions were formed, resulting in the birth of some terrifying Gu worms!”

“In the ancient era, there were many outstanding individuals with extraordinary knowledge.
These experts realized that huge calamities might be caused if the Gu worms were allowed to roam freely, so they exterminated many of the frightening Gu worms!”

Xiaoning said, “The Black Blood Gu is something that should have been extinct.”

Narrowing his gaze, Su Zimo murmured softly, “Why would a Gu worm that should have been extinct revive in this era?”


“I don’t know.”

Rubbing her glabella, Xiaoning shook her head as though she wanted to ease the fatigue in her mind.
“I’m afraid that only Gu Sect can provide an answer.”

“No, there’s someone else.”

Su Zimo shook his head with a cold glint in his eyes.

The Palace Lord of Blood Crow Palace who was also the current Dao Being Lone Soul!

Dao Being Lone Soul gained rebirth through assimilation on a Gu Master’s body.
As such, he naturally knew about the affairs of Gu Sect.

When Su Zimo saw Xiaoning rub her glabella as well as Ji Yaoxue’s exhausted expression, his heart stirred as he chanted a secret skill of the Buddhist monasteries softly – Heart Calming Mantra.

This Buddhist mantra did not have any lethality and would only allow one to relieve their frustrations and calm their mind.

The deeper one’s understanding of Buddhism, the greater the effect of the Heart Calming Mantra.

When Xiaoning and Ji Yaoxue heard the Sanskrit sound of the Heart Calming Mantra, they did not think too much about it.
They merely felt that the Sanskrit sound was rather pleasant.

Gradually, the two of them immersed themselves in it.

The anxiety and worry in Xiaoning’s eyes disappeared slowly as she closed her eyes.

Ji Yaoxue was completely immersed in the Sanskrit as well!

Under the effect of the Heart Calming Mantra, both of their minds felt extremely relaxed and relieved.

As time passed by, the Heart Calming Mantra was completed.

Xiaoning and Ji Yaoxue had their eyes closed.
Both of them looked peaceful and their brows were relaxed – they had already fallen asleep unknowingly.

Carefully, Su Zimo placed the two of them down gently.
He did not leave but stood guard beside them.

Unknowingly, a night passed.

When the sun rose in the east, a beautiful figure lying beside Su Zimo moved.


Xiaoning was the first to wake up!

She blinked and sat up.
Her eyes were still a little lost as she did not know what had happened.

She only remembered that when she was chatting with Su Zimo, she heard a pleasant Sanskrit sound.
Everything went blank thereafter.

“Ah, it’s daybreak!”

Xiaoning exclaimed.

Thereafter, she realized that she could not feel any fatigue at all!

She was already well rested after just a single night’s sleep?!

Normally, if Xiaoning was completely exhausted mentally and physically, she might not be able to recover fully even after resting for three days and nights.

However, with the help of the Heart Calming Mantra, Xiaoning’s body and mind recovered rapidly after a night of sleep.

“Continue refining the elixirs and rest well.”

Su Zimo patted Xiaoning on the shoulder and instructed before getting up to leave.

“You’re not waiting for Sister Yaoxue to wake up?” Xiaoning asked.

“No,”

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes.
“There are some things that have yet to be settled.
I have to find an answer!”
