Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1393 – The Contents Inside the Notes

Only practitioners would be able to so violently force open the vault door and break through the glass- this wasn’t something just anybody could do, you would have to be above Golden Class at least! If that was the case, then he had to talk to Director Yang Huaijun about this seriously…

Of course, Lin Yi didn’t know that ‘he’ had already robbed two places and caused a bunch of chaos. Lingshan naturally did not know anything about this either, and they were all waiting for Old Hei and Xiaoke to finish the pictures to the doors of life and death…

Lin Yi flipped through the notes in his hands. He didn’t think much of it yet, but after a few pages he felt impressed. Liju’s methods of curing ailments and his medical thought process really did gave him a different angle on medicine- so this Liju had really been such an amazing person the whole time! If he were still alive now, he wouldn’t be inferior to Old Lin in terms of medical ability- he might even be better!

But while Lin Yi may be very interested in the contents of this medical notes, he still put his attention on looking for the information on the Fire Spirit’s Fruit!

Fortunately, Liju was a concise man. The way he recorded his notes looked as if he did it for his own reading- never intending to show it to anyone else, and so this let Lin Yi read through quite conveniently.

Otherwise, if it was a textbook type of writing, it would have taken an even longer time.

In order to save time, Lin Yi flipped through and skimmed the words, looking for anything that mentioned the fruit.

Finally, when he was reaching the halfway point, he found it.

Taking a deep breath, he read it carefully- this chapter was mainly about how he had a friend with some sort of dark energy inside him, and after all the medicine used to counteract it failed, Liju heard of a growing rumour- somewhere in the coldest place of the north pole, on top of a snowy mountain, was a tree that bore the Fire Spirit’s Fruit. Every thirty years it would bloom, and it had a powerful effect against this dark energy!

The mountain in the north pole was not a very kind place, and any tree or fruit that was able to blossom wouldn’t be just a common one!

Liju probably wouldn’t risk his life to go to the north pole to look for that fruit if it had just been a stranger, but this friend happened to be very close to him- something of a mentor and friend. This was his refinement teacher, and it could be said that all his skills of refinement had been taught by him.

This person had already been deeply invaded by the dark energy at that time, and it was caused by an accident during refinement. Liju didn’t have much time, and so he packed up and went on a quest.

Reading on, it detailed the process and journey of his trip to the mountain, and Lin Yi didn’t spend too much time reading there. This was a different time, after all, with no trains or cars or planes- they only had legs and horses. It was different now.

But the interesting thing was that the words ‘It and I’ had been mentioned multiple times. Lin Yi intially thought he had written it down wrongly, and that the ‘it’ referred to his friend, but it was later clear that it was referring to an animal.

Just who did this Liju go with? Was it an animal? But it seemed to be really smart, was it helping him look for the location of the fruit?

It was becuase of its help that Liju found the location, and they picked the fruit and went back home…

But in the entire journal it was never mentioned where this tree was, it only said that some random ‘it’ had helped him find it. Although, it did plot the location of the mountain, so at least Lin Yi had that to go with.

With the genreal location of the tree, Lin Yi took a deep breath- as long as he had this lead, it was only a matter of time until he found the fruit.

This ‘it’, however, really did pique his interest!

Just what was this thing? According to Old Lin, Liju had this special tool with him that helped him look for special treasures and medicines, but it seemed like it might have been something that was alive!

Could it be something similar to General Weiwu? Lin Yi’s eyes turned to Weiwu- some animals had a special sense of smell towards items like medicine, Lin Yi knew that. If it really had been an animal, then it would have died or been buried with Liju after so many years…

Lin Yi shook his head. It seemed like his dream of looking for that special animal or tool wouldn’t happen. He needed to rely on himself if he wanted to find the fruit!

No! Lin Yi suddenly shook his head- wasn’t there a beast that they had just met? Wasn’t that guardian of the tomb living, and had been living for up to a thousand years? It’s possible that this animal really was still alive!

From the stuff in the notes, it seemed like Liju had a very close relationship with this beast, and Lin Yi thought that there was a possibility that it could be with Liju’s coffin! With that possibility, his eyes rested on the two doors and went quiet. He sighed.

From the sound of it, this spirit beast may not be an attack type, but just a beast that was good at smelling out treasures. Even so, it was already very powerful and the greedy old man Elder Yu would for sure go for it if he knew about the beast. Lin Yi had to come back here on his own next time.

But while he did have Liu Bojia’s info in his hands as well as the jade, he was not a graverobber. He would still be at a disadvantage… Lin Yi looked at Xiaoke. If he could bring her along with him next time too, it would help him tremendously.

But how was he supposed to tell Xiaoke this? Also it was for the best if he could do so without alerting Lingshan and Yutian too, since they were here to catch the thieves in the first place. It would put them in a difficult spot if he were to rob a grave right in front of them. So it would be for the best if he did not tell them.
