Chapter 1495: Chapter 1489

Xin Lin stopped in her tracks, and Tu Suxuan, who was walking ahead, hurriedly came to a halt.

"Third Sister, what strange and creepy thing is up ahead this time? Don’t you scare me."

"Big Brother, I need to rest for a moment."

Inside Xin Lin’s body, it was like being gnawed on by insects; that wave of pain seemed to be growing worse.

Xin Lin silently thought that this was bad.

She was very familiar with this state—Fu Xi’s Energy...

After the Fu Tian Pill entered her body, her body had been unable to fuse with the Fu Tian Pill for a time.

Fu Xi’s Energy could backlash against her, but as time went on, and with Gui Hu’s help in absorbing part of Fu Xi’s Energy, the number of times Xin Lin was backlashed grew fewer and fewer.

At first, it was once a day, or every few hours.

But recently, it wouldn’t even flare up once in over a month.

Sometimes it would act up in her sleep, and Gui Hu would just directly absorb the Fu Xi’s Energy, so Xin Lin wouldn’t feel much pain.

But this time was different—Gui Hu wasn’t here.

The Fu Xi’s Energy in Xin Lin’s body just had to choose this moment to erupt.

Xin Lin took a deep breath.

"Third Sister, are you all right? How about we head out first? You don’t look so good."

Tu Suxuan was beside himself with worry.

"I’m fine. Let’s just collect the Spiritual Wisdom Grass as quickly as possible."

Xin Lin did Breathing Control for a moment.

She felt around and took out the Sealing Spirit Talisman No.2, trying to merge a portion of Fu Xi’s Energy into the Sealing Spirit Talisman No.2.

Inside Sealing Spirit Talisman No.2, Rong Qiu was sleeping soundly.

In its dreams, it felt warm all over, as if it were sleeping on piles and piles of Spiritual Delicacy Buns!

After releasing a small amount of Fu Xi’s Energy, Xin Lin’s expression eased a bit, but she knew this was only temporary.

Rong Qiu was still young and couldn’t absorb too much Fu Xi’s Energy.

She had vented a portion, but very soon the Fu Xi’s Energy in her body would surge back; she had to get out of here as soon as possible.

Even if it flared up, it must not be at Kutuo River—this place was too dangerous.

The Fu Tian Pill was a supreme treasure.

Even Gui Hu didn’t dare make its existence known.

If, at a time like this, other ghosts discovered the presence of the Fu Tian Pill, it would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.

"We keep going. The Spiritual Wisdom Grass should be just ahead."

Xin Lin said.

Tu Suxuan looked at Xin Lin, and only after confirming she was all right did he continue forward.

They walked for another quarter of an hour.

The West Bank came to an end.

Up ahead was a piled-up mass of gleaming white bones—a small mound of corpses.

Beside the mound of bones, there stood a gravestone.

"The Thousand-Men Stele."

Tu Suxuan did not rush forward, but explained to Xin Lin.

"Third Sister, that’s the famous Thousand-Men Stele of Kutuo River. Back then, our Fuzhou Army fought bitterly here, with countless dead and wounded. These are all nameless ones, who in the end could only be buried in haste, hence the name."

People in Wangjing almost all knew the origin of the Thousand-Men Stele.

"Big Brother, look behind it."

After seeing the Thousand-Men Stele, Xin Lin noticed that on that little hill of bones, a patch of lush green had appeared.

Within that greenery, a thin white mist was drifting.

"That’s Spiritual Wisdom Grass!"

Tu Suxuan excitedly pulled out a booklet.

On it was an illustration given by the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce; the Spiritual Wisdom Grass looked exactly like that.

A whole patch of Spiritual Wisdom Grass was growing vigorously, covering almost the entire slope of the little hill.

As long as they brought this Spiritual Wisdom Grass back, their Mercenary Army mission this time would count as completed.

Tu Suxuan was overjoyed; this patch had at least over a hundred stalks.

Leaving aside the portion required by the chamber of commerce, they could still keep a large amount.

This Mercenary Army mission didn’t seem all that difficult after all.

But when Xin Lin looked at this Spiritual Wisdom Grass, she felt no joy; instead, she furrowed her brows tightly.
