C17 Unconcerned Framing

Ann Mujin was worrying about where she was going to find the Spirit Crystal when she casually flipped to the next page. Putting aside the original words on the book, there was a row of small words at the bottom of the page.

It seemed that Jun Lintian had already thought of all the problems Ann Mujin would encounter and was kind enough to help her write them on the book.

Ann Mujin couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jun Lintian was a good person.

Ann Mujin followed Jun Lintian's instructions and walked into the cave on the opposite side of the mountain.

The cave in this space was not very big, and after entering the cave, he could clearly feel a comfortable, cool breeze blowing towards him.

There was not a single ray of light in the cave, and everything was pitch black. However, it was because of the darkness inside the cave that Ann Mujin quickly discovered the whereabouts of the Spirit Crystal.

The Spirit Crystal was in the corner of the cave wall. It was lying down quietly in the cave and emitted a blue light.

Ann Mujin carefully walked to the Spirit Crystal and bent down to pick it up, afraid that she would accidentally shatter this rare treasure.

This Spirit Crystal was neither big nor small, and Ann Mujin held it in her hand just in time. It was enough for Ann Mujin to use this Spirit Crystal to condense her Qi.

Ann Mujin walked out of the cave and returned to the huge rock under the tree. She continued to flip through the book in search of a way to cultivate Qi Condensation.

Ann Mujin sat cross-legged on top of the boulder with her eyes closed. She carefully recalled the contents in the book and followed the instructions.

With the Spirit Crystal in front of her, Ann Mujin could clearly feel a stream of cold and soft air that was like water blowing towards her. At this moment, Ann Mujin, who was in front of her, was trying very hard to absorb the spirit energy from the Spirit Crystal, and was also absorbing it into her Dantian.

After repeating this action several times, Ann Mujin felt as if there were insects crawling inside her body.

Ann Mujin could not bear it anymore, but the book said that this feeling meant that the spiritual energy had entered her body and she needed to endure. When her body relaxed, she could imagine herself in an empty space.

Ann Mujin continued to do what the book told her to do, but this uncomfortable feeling did not lessen at all. Previously, she had been feeling it intermittently, but now, the 'worms' in her body seemed to be crawling at an even faster speed while still feeling the pain.

At first, Ann Mujin was comforting herself that she should have absorbed the spiritual qi well, so she didn't care until she felt a stabbing pain in her dantian. By the time she wanted to stop, it was already too late.

Ann Mujin instantly felt a burst of sweetness in her mouth, followed by a surge of air flowing out from her stomach. Under Ann Mujin's uncontrollable control, a mouthful of blood spurted out from her mouth.

Under the immense pressure, Ann Mujin's body felt as if it was about to be hollowed out. Her entire body weakly collapsed on top of the huge rock, and she no longer had the strength to move.

Ann Mujin was the only one left in this space, so she could only slowly adjust her aura and try her best to leave this place.

Ann Mujin was extremely confused. She was obviously cultivating according to the method described in the secret manual. Logically, there shouldn't be a mistake. Why did she become like this? She felt as if the normal spiritual energy in front of her was being devoured by her body.

Could it be that there was a problem with the Spirit Crystal? Or was it because of his physique?

When Ann Mujin recovered, she sat on the edge of the bed with a pale face, ready to lie down.

Shui Yue came in using hot water to get a look at Ann Mujin's weak appearance. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lady, what's wrong with you?"

When Ann Mujin saw Shuiyue come in, she revealed a pleased expression. She forced out a smile and spoke weakly, "Shuiyue, help me think. Why do I still feel as though my spirit energy has been devoured despite following the method in the book?"

This was the first time that Shuiyue had encountered such a situation. She knew that her master had given her a secret manual for her to cultivate. She had read through the book several times, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Although Shuiyue had a rough understanding of the reason, she did not dare to speak carelessly without her master's instructions.

Shuiyue frowned and shook her head, revealing a worried expression. "This servant isn't sure. This servant will help Miss ask Master and find out." Immediately ask this servant to heal your injuries first. "

Ann Mujin was suffering from internal injuries, so Shuiyue didn't dare to treat her injuries with the method of crossing air. After thinking about it, she could only find a way to alleviate the internal injuries and wait for her master to deal with it herself.

Shuiyue took out a brown pill from her pocket that she had brought along with her. This pill was called the Yuheng Supreme Pills and was specifically used to treat all kinds of internal injuries.

Ann Mujin did feel a lot better after consuming it, but the pain from being weak was not something she could recover from in a day or two.

Shui Yue laid down with Ann Mujin and carefully adjusted the corners of her blanket. Seeing that Ann Mujin was fast asleep, she summoned a spirit sparrow with colorful feathers to send a message to Jun Lintian, informing him of Ann Mujin's sudden condition.

Shuiyue was sitting in the yard waiting for Jun Lintian's reply when she heard a wave of clamorous noise coming from outside the yard. Just as she wanted to go up and see what was going on outside, Marquis Ann brought his servant to break in the door and take a closer look. Mrs. Cheng, her mother, and the two girls were among them.

"Master Hou, what are you doing? You should be well rested in the middle of the night."

When she thought of how Ann Mujin had already rested from her injuries, she could only try her best to stop them from leaving in order not to be disturbed.

Marquis Ann did not look good in the face of Shuiyue's question. His face was red as he glared at her. "Get out of my way. I'll take care of this scoundrel tonight."

On the other hand, Shuiyue was very curious about what had happened. Marquis Ann was no longer willing to sell her face.

"Master Hou, just what has happened? The lady has already gone to bed. Master Hou, why don't you tell Shuiyue and see if she can help you deal with it?"

Marquis Ann puffed his beard and glared at them. His deep voice carried a hint of anger and disdain: "You don't have the right to ask about the matters of this house. Get out of my way!"

Get out of the way? Shui Yue's mission was to protect Ann Mujin, and now that Ann Mujin was heavily injured, how could she allow this group of beasts and clothing to harm her in the slightest.

"It's true that it's not Shuiyue's place to be an outsider to manage Hou Mansion's affairs. However, Shuiyue is here on Prince Chen's orders to serve Miss Mu Jin. If anything happens to the lady, this servant will not be able to explain it to Your Highness." Shuiyue looked at Marquis Ann and smiled faintly.

It was obvious that Marquis Ann didn't take advantage of him. Ann Mujin always used Jun Lintian to pressure him. Wu Tie had been enduring for a long time, so there was a limit to human endurance.

"Miss Shuiyue, don't blame me for bullying a little girl like you."

Shui Yue was never afraid of being threatened in her life. There were only a handful of Will Power above Rank 6 in Ancient Yan Country, and the only ones she was familiar with were the Sun family's Changming and Liu Tie, as well as Marquis Ann, a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

Shuiyue and Marquis Ann were both Level 6 Human Realm Will Power, and Shuiyue was someone that Jun Lintian had personally cultivated. If the two of them were to fight, it would be difficult for them to determine the victor.

"Sure, junior is willing to ask for advice."

As he spoke, Shuiyue gathered the spirit energy in her hand, forming a powerful palm wind and pushed it towards Marquis Ann. Even though Marquis Ann was already a bit old, he was still as experienced as before, so he easily dodged to the side.

Mrs. Cheng and her two daughters hurriedly retreated to a safe zone to watch the fight.

Marquis Ann had already dodged the palm wind. Shuiyue flicked her right hand up and down, and a short sword shining with yellow light appeared in her hand.

Marquis Ann also took out his own weapon and prepared to engage in a merciless confrontation. The anger that he had accumulated for a few days was about to be completely released at this moment.

Marquis Ann raised his Light Dragon Ancient Spring Spear and flipped it in the air. Just as he was about to pierce towards Shuiyue's chest, she suddenly thought of something and leaped into the air, dodging his attack. Shuiyue took advantage of the moment of surprise to attack the peak from the back.

"Everyone stop!"

Ann Mujin, who was inside the house, overheard the quarrels and sounds of fighting outside. She casually put on a coat and walked out, pretending to look normal and unharmed. However, when he saw that Shuiyue and Marquis Ann were fighting, he immediately shouted out to stop them.

Seeing Ann Mujin suddenly appear, Shuiyue immediately retracted her moves to dodge Marquis Ann's attack and retreated back to Ann Mujin's side.

"Miss, why did you come out!"

When she thought about how Ann Mujin was seriously injured and had to deal with a group of angry people, Shuiyue became even more anxious. If that was the case, Ann Mujin's injuries would be even more severe. What should she do?

At this moment, Shuiyue could only silently pray that Jun Lintian would quickly rush over after receiving her message.

Ann Mujin smiled sweetly at Shui Yue. She patted her hand to reassure her.

"Tie him up!"

When Marquis Ann saw Ann Mujin coming out of the room, he immediately got someone to tie her up.

Seeing the servant getting closer to her, the indifferent expression on Ann Mujin's face didn't change at all, "Wait!"

Even though Ann Mujin was currently very weak, she raised her breath with difficulty and shouted in a deep voice to stop.

Marquis Ann didn't reply to Ann Mujin's words. He just stared at her, waiting to see what she was going to do.

"Father has to have a reason for kidnapping me."

Reason? That was simple. They all came for this reason.

Mrs. Cheng's shrill voice suddenly sounded with pride, "You stole the Dia Wu Immortal ruyi bestowed by the late emperor, don't tell me you want to deny it?"

Stealing the Dancing Immortal ruyi? It was said that the ruyi scepter had a miraculous healing effect, allowing the severely injured to quickly recover. This thing had already been in the Marquis Ann's Mansion for more than ten years. If she wanted to steal it, she would have already done so.

"Heh, stealing things? Father is underestimating your daughter, right?"

Ann Mujin really found it laughable. She, Ann Mujin, had never taken any ill-gotten gains, let alone doing such a thing.

"Daddy, that's why Shui Yue mentioned that Ann Mujin is not feeling well. She must be seriously injured to be able to heal her injuries."

Ann Mujin and Shuiyue shot a glance at Ann Mo at the same time. This girl was rather quick with her thoughts. It looked like they had plotted today's matter for a long time.
