The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 250 Stupid! So stupid!

"The entrance is here, and at its narrowest point, only one person can pass sideways. The core Yin Cave is at the deepest part of the rift valley, the place with the heaviest deathly aura—there's no mistake!"

The sword spirit dared not be negligent, and a point of extremely cold blue light condensed at the tip of the sword, rapidly slicing across the hard bluestone surface.

A sharp scraping sound rang out, stone chips fell in a flurry, and clear, precise lines quickly appeared.

In the blink of an eye, a detailed topographical map quickly took shape on the stone slab.

The sword spirit inscribed its final mark, and the blue light seemed to dim slightly, clearly indicating excessive energy expenditure.

Chen Jinshu's gaze swept across the stone slab, confirming that the route was indeed feasible and far from the core of Medicine King Valley, so it should not attract much attention.

……

The following day, in the inner district of Yaowangfang.

Chen Jinshu changed into a drab gray linen dress and concealed his aura to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

To avoid arousing suspicion, she slowly walked towards the Black Rift Valley in the northwest.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the inner chamber, the voice she heard made her freeze in place. Her heart clenched violently without warning, and an intense sense of unease surged within her.

"Have you heard? Taniguchi... Taniguchi's affair..."

"Shh! Quiet down! Medicine King Valley has completely lost face..."

"This is terrible! A female cultivator, nailed there and displayed for all to see. Who did she offend?!"

"I heard his surname is Zhou!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu quickly stepped forward to stop the two cultivators in conversation and asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Who were you talking about? What happened to Taniguchi?"

The two cultivators were clearly stunned by the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation emanating from Chen Jinshu, and they were subconsciously dumbfounded, at a loss for words.

"It's...it's that area near the western waste dump, where there lived a reclusive old array master named Zhou. This morning, he was found nailed to the stone tablet at the main entrance of Medicine King Valley Market!"
His entire body was covered in sores, not a single inch of it was unscathed. I heard he was killed by the enforcement disciples for trespassing into some forbidden area.

Oh dear, this is terrible!

As the monk spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Another person couldn't help but chime in:
"It wasn't just that he was dead, it was that he was 'displayed in public'! His clothes were all torn."

Her face has become very young and beautiful, but her body...

Oh, what a tragedy!

The people from the Valley Enforcement Hall had just taken her away not long ago…

"Calm down." Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu staggered slightly, trying to steady himself and suppress the overwhelming emotions within him.

She truly hadn't expected that Zhou Wanning wasn't, as written in her farewell letter, seeking a quiet place to cultivate herself and spend the rest of her life.

He actually went to seek revenge on Lin Xiao.

Immediately, she hurried towards the valley entrance.

The huge entrance to Yaowang Valley Market is formed by two sharply cut, bluish-gray stone peaks.

A towering stone tablet stands in the center, inscribed with five ancient and powerful characters: "Yaowang Valley Market".

At this moment, beneath the stone tablet, a patch of dark red, a messy mess, had seeped into the rough stone base. It was not yet fully solidified and gleamed with a glaring, viscous sheen.

It almost overpowered the faint medicinal fragrance wafting from the market.

Several disciples dressed in the robes of the Medicine King Valley Law Enforcement Hall were covering their noses and using a cleaning spell to wash the base of the stone tablet and the ground around it.

Occasionally, a cultivator would pass by from afar, his face turning deathly pale. He would glance at the cultivator briefly and then hurriedly lower his head and walk away, as if even a second glance would bring misfortune.

Chen Jinshu stood in the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the glaring dark red, his eyes instantly burning, and a faint pink tinge appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"Stupid! Utterly foolish!"

"Instead of properly recovering from your injuries and saving your life, you actually went to die for Lin Xiao." Chen Jinshu was on the verge of tears, her voice choked with sobs. She really hadn't expected Zhou Wanning to be even more resolute than she had anticipated.

This was because she had already planned to perish together with Lin Xiao from the moment she left her own array formation inheritance to her.

Yes, with her stubborn personality, how could she allow Lin Xiao to still be alive?

However, she was still too reckless. Her injuries had not yet healed, so how could she be a match for Lin Xiao, a Golden Core cultivator?

Although Lin Xiao's golden elixir was made up of a pile of medicines, he was right about one thing: a golden elixir is still an elixir.

Chen Jinshu paused for a moment, silently mourned for Zhou Wanning for a few breaths, and then turned and left.

Continue heading northwest.

For some reason, she quickened her pace, her figure moving swiftly through the void like a weightless wisp of smoke.

Soon, she arrived at the perineum mentioned in the route carved by the sword spirit.

The surrounding area was filled with a thick, opaque, grayish-yellow miasma.

The Yinshan Sparrow transformed into a thin line of blue and red, silently circling a few feet in front of her. Its sharp sparrow eyes pierced through the miasma, searching for any unusual aura or spiritual energy fluctuations.

The further she walked along the route, the more deathly quiet it became.

However, before she even reached the location of the Yin Marrow Jade, a soft warning cry came from the Yin Mountain Sparrow flying ahead.

Chen Jinshu stopped abruptly, his aura completely concealed.

After the thick fog dissipated, the Yinshan Sparrow was seen perched on a black boulder, its small body tense, staring intently at a narrow cave entrance half-hidden by several huge boulders.

The cave entrance was pitch black, and a chilling, deathly aura, more than ten times stronger than that emanating from the outside, seeped out.

"Could this be the place where the Yin Marrow Jade is hidden?" She recalled the route on the stone slab in her mind, and it was indeed exactly the same as this place.

However, she did not step forward, but instead cautiously probed her divine sense into the cave entrance.

The chaotic and filthy atmosphere around her tried to disrupt her consciousness and will, but a flash of light appeared on the blue lotus birthmark on her forehead, and a cool and tenacious will instantly severed the erosion of those chaotic thoughts.

Soon, the scene inside the cave became clear in her mind.

The cave was not deep, but at the end it was a natural stone hall that was several meters in diameter.

The mummified corpses, their postures contorted, lay scattered in a corner. Judging from their clothing, they were clearly low-ranking law enforcement disciples from Medicine King Valley.

Their bodies were shriveled and blackened, as if all moisture and life had been drained from them, and their faces were frozen in extreme fear.

The ground was engraved with a sinister array, still dripping with blood and not yet completely dry.

In the center of the magic circle, there was a small mountain of spirit stone fragments, whose spiritual power had long been absorbed.

At the edge of the magic array, a figure dressed in a moon-white brocade robe instantly entered Chen Jinshu's sea of ​​consciousness.

"That guy Lin Xiao actually found this place."

"No wonder they've been staying in Black Wind Pass all this time, they've found some great treasure."

Black Rift Valley is not far from Black Wind Pass; in fact, they are practically adjacent.

The fact that Lin Xiao was able to find this area near the Yin Marrow Jade suggests that he must be hiding some secrets.

Her eyes turned cold as she realized that although Lin Xiao was not seriously injured, his aura was rapidly recovering in an extremely strange way, and his wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"A mere cripple with his Dao Foundation destroyed dares to try and kill me after taking two pills? Do you really think your lousy formation can trap a Golden Core cultivator?"

"Those who have reached the Golden Core stage are nothing more than ants!"

He growled nervously, his bloodshot eyes darting about, filled with madness.

His gaze swept over the withered corpses of the law enforcement disciples on the ground, he licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.

"Trying to ambush me with these useless trash? Perfect, let's replenish my energy!"

"Once I refine this 'human pill' and stabilize my cultivation, that bastard surnamed Chen and that old bastard from Medicine King Valley will both die!"
