Chapter 86: Blood Drinking Wood

Chi Shuyan glared at Lin Haoxing. This kid was really asking for a beating. She was about to explain to the other party that the kid was talking nonsense, when the phone cut off with a beep.

Chi Shuyan was stunned and immediately reacted. Qin Zhenbai had probably misunderstood Lin Haoxing’s words. She rubbed the phone screen. Given Qi Zhenbai’s proud, noble, and unruly temper, he might never come looking for her again.

That was good too. The two had never crossed paths before this, so there was no need to exhaust all her brain juices to explain the misunderstanding before. Chi Shuyan silently turned off her phone.

“Elder Lin, it seems your body has more or less recovered.” Chi Shuyan had just sent Lin Haoxing back to the Lin family, and ran into Lin Chongchang. She greeted the hale and hearty Lin Chongchang, who looked good.

“Yes, I’ve almost recovered and the poison has been purged. It’s all thanks to Master Chi that I didn’t lose my life for no apparent reason,” Lin Chongchang said cordially and respectfully.

It was naturally no coincidence that Lin Chongchang and Chi Shuyan ran into each other. He had been eagerly waiting for many days for Chi Shuyan to come to his door, but seeing that she still hadn’t returned from the capital to Fuzhou, he burned with anxiety. Days felt like years.

Although he knew that Xingxing had Master Chi’s jade pendant to protect him, this jade pendant has been used a number of times. Better safe than sorry. When the time came, it would be too late.

Moreover, he was more afraid that Master Chi would have long forgotten about his grandson. He had been planning to go to the capital to find her personally, but hadn’t expected Chi Shuyan to come back and even take Xingxing out to play today. Only then did he feel some relief.

“It was because of your good fortune,” Chi Shuyan said modestly.

“Master Chi, don’t be modest. What good fortune? If I really were blessed, I wouldn’t have let a wolf into the house.” Lin Chongchang sighed slightly and waved his hand. After getting the nanny to take Lin Haoxing away, he looked eagerly at Chi Shuyan. “Master Chi, I searched a long time for the Blood Drinking Wood that you described last time. Can you take a look?”

Chi Shuyan nodded and said, “Okay.”

The last time Chi Shuyan looked at the feng shui for Lin Chongchang, he had asked her how to expel the fox immortal from his grandson’s body, and she had given him a method which involved Blood Drinking Wood.

Blood Drinking Wood was a type of spiritual wood that could only be found by luck. It was extremely precious and overflowed with spiritual energy. Not only could it be used to refine medicinal pills, it could also be used as a support token.

Chi Shuyan went to see the dozens of pieces of different-sized wood in Lin Chongchang’s collection. Unfortunately, as Chi Shuyan had expected, none of them were Blood Drinking Wood. After all, if it could be found so easily, Blood Drinking Wood wouldn’t be considered rare or valuable.

Lin Chongchang, who was filled with hope for a miracle, saw Chi Shuyan’s silence, and his heart turned slightly cold. Disappointed, he remembered that Chi Shuyan had told him that this Blood Drinking Wood was rare. His voice was dry as he asked, “Master Chi, is there no other way?”

Chi Shuyan sighed softly. Lin Chongchang didn’t look good either. She was about to say something, when she suddenly felt a weak wisp of spiritual energy. Following the trace of spiritual energy, she looked at a corner and pointed to a wooden ink pen wash cylinder. “What’s that?”

“Oh, this was a gift from a friend in the mall.” Lin Chongchang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He was hit hard and felt a bit down, but he still perked up to entertain Chi Shuyan. He took the item and asked, “Master Chi, do you like this pen wash? The engravings on it are indeed very unique. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

“Elder Lin, are you really going to give me this piece of Blood Drinking Wood?” Chi Shuyan took the pen wash from Lin Chongchang’s hand and deliberately teased with a smile, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Lin Chongchang’s eyes widened.”…” What did Master Chi just say? Did he hear wrongly? This wash was actually Blood Drinking Wood?

“What a waste of a heavenly treasure, to dig out the middle of such a big piece.” Chi Shuyan frowned and looked at the Blood Drinking Wood in her hand, then shook her head and said, “It’s fine if it had been turned into a carving, but how could it have been made into a pen wash? The spiritual energy has diminished quite a bit, what a waste.”

“Master Chi, then can… can it still be used?” Lin Chongchang came back to his senses and was pleasantly surprised. But hearing Chi Shuyan’s words, he couldn’t help but worry again.

“It’s useful; once the spirit energy is replenished, it can be used.” At Chi Shuyan’s words, Lin Chongchang was relieved.

When Chi Shuyan got home, she found that Chi Lingyan had also returned and was cooking in the kitchen. Chi Shuyan probed subtly to see if Chi Lingyan was interested in the person introduced by her grandma, but he said it wasn’t easy for the girl either. There was sympathy in his words, but no other meaning. Only then was Chi Shuyan’s heart at ease.
