Chapter 88 Cold and Frigid Poison

Xie Wanning carried Lin Xuanjin back to the mountaintop.

Throughout the journey, Xie Wanning could feel the biting cold on her back, as if a dozen icicles were piercing her body. Xie Wanning possessed an ice spiritual root, giving her a higher tolerance for cold than ordinary people, but she found it difficult to endure the chill emanating from Lin Xuanjin's frost.

When Xie Wanning brought Lin Xuanjin back to the house on the mountaintop, Mu Ruo and Mu Zhi, having received the news, had already moved Meng Qingyue to the guest room to make room for Lin Xuanjin.

"How is Master? Eldest Sister?" Mu Zhi was extremely anxious and held Xie Wan Ning's hand tightly.

Xie Wanning sighed. Even though she was skilled in medicine, she had never seen Lin Xuanjin's symptoms before.

“I used antidote pills to suppress the poison in my master’s body, but it seems that the poison has been in his body for decades and has recently erupted, which is very harmful to my master’s body.”

Mu Ruo covered her mouth, unable to believe it.

Mu Zhi turned around blankly and went back to the guest room. She saw Meng Qingyue, who was weak but insisted on getting up. She quickly helped him up and asked, "Second Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

“I know what poison Master is suffering from,” Meng Qingyue said with difficulty.

Mu Zhi quickly invited Xie Wanning to the guest room and explained the situation.

Meng Qingyue leaned against the bed and explained with all her might, "The technique my master cultivates is called the Cold and Frosty Sword Art. This sword technique is extremely powerful, but it has serious side effects. That is, it will produce toxins in the body, called Cold and Frosty Poison. My master has practiced this sword technique for decades, which is why there are a lot of toxins in his body."

"Second Senior Brother, how did you know?" Mu Zhi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Third Junior Sister, Master has only taught us the most basic sword techniques, but has never taught us any stronger ones. This is because Master only knows the Cold Sword Technique. I once asked Master to teach me the Cold Sword Technique, and Master told me why I cannot practice this sword technique."

Mu Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

"Is there any way to cure this disease completely?" Xie Wanning asked anxiously.

Lin Xuanjin's condition was critical; his body was already heavily poisoned, and he was unlikely to survive the night.

Meng Qingyue shook her head, her face filled with sorrow.

"Master has been searching for an antidote for over a decade, but to no avail. His original intention in bringing us to Twilight Snow Peak was to suppress the poison. Originally, the cold poison could have been suppressed for several more years, but recently, in order to protect the sect, Master used too much spiritual energy, causing the cold poison to erupt prematurely. Master forbade me to tell my junior brothers and sisters about this, for fear that they would worry. However, Master has treated us extremely well, and I don't want to see Master suffer like this." Meng Qingyue's voice choked with emotion, and her eyes reddened slightly.

Mu Zhi and Mu Ruo, who were standing to the side, were already sobbing uncontrollably.

Xie Wanning lowered her head, her mind a complete mess, utterly helpless.

Are we just going to watch Lin Xuanjin die like this without doing anything?

The Cold and Frigid Poison was a poison she had no recollection of, and she had no idea where to begin.

"Senior Sister, please, save Master!" Mu Ruo knelt down with a thud, crying, "My sister and I were bought by Master from human slave traders. Without Master, my sister and I would either have become someone else's concubines or frozen and starved to death outside. It was Master who saved us. Senior Sister, what do you need? We will do our best to satisfy you. Please help us."

"Get up, Mu Ruo!" Mu Zhi pulled Mu Ruo up forcefully, her face full of guilt: "Senior Sister, we really want to save Master, but if you can't, we won't force you."

"If you can save our master, we're willing to do anything." Mu Ruo insisted on kneeling down.

Xie Wanning has a headache.

She waved her hand: "I can't do anything, I can only give Master some pills to suppress the poison. You all take care of Second Junior Brother and Little Junior Brother first, I'm going to check on Master."

Before leaving, Xie Wanning heard a weak voice say, "Don't force yourself."

It was Meng Qingyue. He understood his master's situation better than anyone else. He knew how difficult it was to save his master.

Xu Weilin's willingness to lend a helping hand is already something to be grateful for, but she is ultimately an outsider and has no obligation to give everything. Meng Qingyue only hopes that she will do what she can.

Xie Wanning had mixed feelings.

Just as Qin Muyang's divination had predicted, joining the Twilight Snow Sect was fraught with difficulties.

Xie Wanning opened the bedroom door and saw Lin Xuanjin awake, staring at the ceiling, which made Xie Wanning's heart skip a beat.

"Master?" Xie Wanning asked softly.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I know my body very well. I won't make it through tonight. I'm sorry I couldn't help you." Lin Xuanjin gave a pale smile, filled with self-reproach and guilt.

Xie Wanning sat down by the bed and took Lin Xuanjin's pulse.

A very weak pulse.

Xie Wanning took out her storage bag, pulled out an eighth-grade recovery pill, and handed it to Lin Xuanjin, but Lin Xuanjin refused: "I am a dying man, there is no need to waste any more pills."

Xie Wanning felt a pang of sadness. She was powerless to save Lin Xuanjin, yet she was unwilling to accept it.

She was unwilling to give up a life.

Seeing Xie Wanning's sorrowful expression, Lin Xuanjin suddenly smiled: "Fellow Daoist Xu, there's no need to blame yourself. You saved the Twilight Snow Sect, you are our benefactor. But some things are ordained by fate, life and death are all predestined, and we cannot stop fate from happening."

Xie Wanning felt only heartache.

God willing?

Why can't we do anything and just let things go in an irreversible direction?

Suddenly, the room turned bitterly cold, and the frost on Lin Xuanjin's body increased instantly.

"Master!" Xie Wanning tightly grasped Lin Xuanjin's hand and channeled spiritual energy into him.

However, Lin Xuanjin's body was like a tattered bag, with spiritual energy constantly flowing out of his body, and his consciousness gradually blurred, his eyelids involuntarily closing.

Xie Wanning shivered from the cold, but took out a fire talisman and started burning it, trying to melt the frost off Lin Xuanjin's body.

The frost was increasing, almost covering Lin Xuanjin's entire body.

Xie Wanning took out various burning magical artifacts, but to no avail.

The frost was silvery-white and could not be burned by ordinary flames.

Ordinary flames won't work? How about different kinds of flames?

Xie Wanning thought of the phoenix fire.

However, when she tried to activate the Phoenix Fire, her fire spirit root was suppressed, seemingly resisting her decision.

Xie Wanning knew that it was another "she" warning her.

"I'm sorry, I really want to save Master. Can you help me? Please, I'm willing to grant you any request." Xie Wan Ning's face was already covered in tears. She couldn't bear to watch a life disappear before her annihilation.

Suddenly, a powerful barrier appeared around them, separating the bedroom from everything outside.

A dark figure stood in front of Xie Wanning and gripped her hand tightly.

"You little fool, you said it yourself."

Xie Wanning suddenly felt her hands getting hot, and balls of flame swirled around her. The frost on Lin Xuanjin's body began to melt. Under the guidance of the black figure, Xie Wanning placed a seal inside Lin Xuanjin's body to suppress the icy poison.

Before Xie Wanning could even express her gratitude for the person who had taken the image, the figure vanished.

Lin Xuanjin's body gradually warmed up and showed signs of recovery.

"That's great!" Xie Wanning was secretly delighted, a bright smile spreading across her face.

However, when she raised her hand, she found that it was covered with a thick layer of frost, which was chilling to the bone.
