Chapter 262 Extracting Spiritual Essence
Chapter 262 Extracting Spiritual Essence
There was no sunlight here, so Si He took off her veil and followed Ning Ji to walk around all the houses in the courtyard.
Many things here are unusable, but we can just stay here for one night and go into town to buy some things tomorrow.
After Liu Mao cleaned up, Ning Ji continued to clean up. After clearing out the clutter in the house and wiping it clean, the house looked much more comfortable.
After cleaning the house, the sun had set and the sky was dark.
In the evening, Ning Ji and Si He made some food and went to bed early. The main reason was that the light was too dim and it was inconvenient to process the spiritual essence. Ning Ji had not slept well in the past two days, so he planned to extract the spiritual essence tomorrow.
The deserted village was silent at night, and the moonlight was not very bright tonight. The whole village was pitch black, except for a small fire burning in the yard where Liu Mao was, which added some light.
He sat by the fire, looking at the dark house next door, his mind full of thoughts. He wanted to escape but was worried about the poison in his body. Finally, he just sighed deeply and lay on the ground, looking at the stars in the sky. After a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The night was spent peacefully.
Ning Ji got up early and asked Liu Mao to go into the city to buy some rice and utensils.
When Liu Mao heard that he was asked to go into the city to buy things, he suddenly became interested. This would be convenient for him to go into the city to see a doctor. If the poison could be cured, he would not come back!
He took the silver and rode out of the village towards the city.
In the deserted village in the early morning, there is silence except for the sound of birds singing.
The sun gradually rose, and when Si He got up, it was already noon. However, the windows in the house were blocked by Ning Ji with wooden boards, and the light from outside did not shine in, except for a little light shining through the gaps.
The light in the room was dim. Just as she sat up, Ning Ji walked in from outside.
Si He sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes. She was still quite sleepy, but since she had been getting up early these past few days, she was used to it and woke up. If it weren't for the little light coming through the crack in the window, she would probably have continued to sleep.
Ning Ji sat down beside the bed, rubbed her head with his hand, and said softly, "You don't need to get up early today. If you're still sleepy, just sleep a little longer."
Si He put down her hand and leaned lazily against him. Without anyone around, she became even more lazy in front of him. She glanced at the crack by the window and asked, "What time is it?"
"Chen Shi, are you hungry?"
Seeing that she had no intention of sleeping, Ning Ji held her and sat her on his lap. He reached out to tidy up her slightly messy long hair, and then stroked her back gently like smoothing a cat's fur to keep her awake.
"A little."
"Then get up and eat something first. If you feel sleepy, go back to sleep later. I'll extract some spiritual essence today and purify the evil spirit inside before giving it to you to try."
Seeing her increasingly pale face, Ning Ji's eyes showed some heartache.
"it is good."
After Si He woke up a little, she got out of bed, washed up, and had breakfast with Ning Ji.
Breakfast was a pot of bird meat stewed with mushrooms. Although it was just a simple dish, it was also very rich.
Ning Ji picked mushrooms in the woods behind the house, and he also shot a fat bird. They stewed the mushrooms together and made a soup that looked very appetizing.
During the meal, Ning Ji told her about his plans for the next few days. He told her that she had to stay in this village for at least a while to see how she was doing, and then they would plan to go to the Tianshan Mountains.
As for the other ancient tombs in the Black Forest, we will talk about them later.
Si He had no objection to this and listened to him.
After breakfast, Ning Ji extracted the spiritual essence from the spiritual essence beads in the room next door, and then used medicine to purify the evil spirit contained in it.
Si He was not sleepy at the moment, so she sat aside and watched him busy.
In the ancient tomb, dozens of spirit essence beads were taken out, some big and some small. The big ones were like Dongzhu, and the small ones were only as big as small pearls. Although the number seemed to be quite a lot, most of the spirit essence beads were relatively small, so there were actually not too many spirit essences.
After Ning Ji took out the spiritual essence bead, the evil aura on the bead dissipated, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop a little bit, especially when touching the spiritual essence bead, the cold aura on the bead seemed to penetrate the skin.
Ning Ji placed the black beads on a bronze plate, which emitted a faint black aura and looked very strange.
The originally stuffy room suddenly became cool when all the spirit beads were taken out, as if the plate was filled with ice cubes. However, this kind of coldness was not ordinary cold, it made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts and their hair stood on end.
After taking out the spiritual essence beads, Ning Ji took out some utensils, tools and medicines from his bag, then put on a pair of special gloves and began to take out the spiritual essence liquid from the spiritual essence beads.
The outer layer of the spirit bead is black, but the spirit inside is green, however, it carries a creepy cold aura.
The extracted spiritual liquid was put into a small porcelain bottle, accumulating more and more until all the spiritual beads were squeezed out.
In the end, only a small bottle of spiritual essence was filled. It was a green liquid and very thick, but the smell was not bad. It was not as fishy as the black skin on the surface. Instead, it had a unique fragrance, which was very strange.
Si He moved forward curiously and smelled the unique scent carefully. To be honest, she felt quite comfortable smelling it.
It was a familiar smell. After all, the pills she had taken before had some spiritual essence added to them, but the smell was not so strong.
Moreover, this smell also contains a strong evil aura.
After taking out all the spiritual essence, Ning Ji began to add some medicine into the bottle to slowly purify the evil energy inside.
Si He watched quietly.
Time passed little by little, and it was noon in the blink of an eye. The sun was high in the sky and it was very hot.
At this time, the evil energy in the bottle has been purified a little, and it doesn't feel as cold and creepy as before. However, it is even more stuffy in this closed room.
Ning Ji stopped when he saw that he was almost done, and went to have lunch with Si He.
Since there was no rice here and the dry food was all gone, we had a simple meal of mushrooms and boiled wild vegetables for lunch.
People tend to feel sleepy in the afternoon, especially Si He's current special situation, so she didn't watch Ning Ji work in the afternoon and went back to the house to rest.
So Ning Ji took out the bronze tripod and placed it in the bedroom. He moved the lid of the tripod a little to allow Si He to sleep more comfortably. Although this method was not good, she had already adapted to the cold and gloomy air, so it was no problem.
As the bronze tripod was opened, the room instantly became cool.
This creepy and cold air made Si He feel very comfortable. However, since it was only a small crack, the breath was very different from the previous one in the ancient tomb.
