Her aura swelled. ‘Yes.’
“I remember that when you turned into jade previously, you said that you fell into a dream. In the dream, you became bigger. There was a fog and many mountains. Is it the same this time?”
Her aura swelled. ‘Yes.’
“Did my voice wake you up?”
Her aura swelled. ‘Yes.’
“Don’t be afraid. I’m thinking of a way to save you…”
As Lin Yan asked, he gradually felt relieved. Xiaozhi was safe for the time being and was fine.
However, the speed at which her aura expanded became slower and slower, as if she was exhausting her strength. Moreover, the strange aura seemed to have slowed down a little.
Lin Yan thought of something. “Xiaozhi, is it a huge burden for you to control this strange aura?”
The aura seemed to hesitate for a moment before expanding slightly. Yes.
“If you consume too much energy, you will fall into a dream again, right?”
Her aura swelled. ‘Yes.’
“If I contact you this way, can you wake up anytime?”
Her aura constricted. No.
“I understand… You don’t have to be anxious. Rest well first. We have a lot of time. I’ll contact you every day and guarantee that when you wake up, you’ll definitely be able to talk to me.
“One last question. Is absorbing the remains of the Spirit Marrow helpful to you?”
Her aura was expanding. Yes. But the expansion was almost negligible. It seemed that Xiaozhi was about to reach her limit.
“Alright! Continue to rest. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely save you!”
Soon, the strange aura in the jade statue stopped expanding or shrinking. It only flowed and rotated slowly.
Lin Yan heaved a long sigh of relief. Although he didn’t know what was going on in the jade statue, it was good that Xiaozhi was fine!
He immediately took out the Spirit Marrow he had dug out from the large Corpse Buddha Cockroaches he had killed previously. He had already casually absorbed this Spirit Marrow previously, leaving only the remains. He began to press them into Xiaozhi’s jade statue one by one.
Of course, in order to empty his hands, he had already casually thrown the broken jade statue aside.
Unexpectedly, when the broken jade statue saw the remains of the Spirit Marrow that were absorbed by Xiaozhi’s jade statue, it bounced up from the ground and jumped onto Lin Yan’s lap. It grabbed Lin Yan’s pants and climbed up.
At the same time, an excited voice kept ringing in Lin Yan’s mind. “What is this? What is this?! Why do I feel like 1 want it, like 1 want it!”
Lin Yan frowned and reached out to grab the broken jade statue. “What are you doing?”
“Big Brother! What’s this in your hand?” The jade statue’s fawning voice sounded.
“The remains of the Spirit Marrow.”
“Spirit Marrow remains? It sounds like good stuff! Big Brother, 1 want to try it too. Can you give me one to try?”
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. “Do you know what this is for you?”
The broken jade statue’s head shook so much that it almost fell off. “1 don’t know! But I just feel that… it’s very helpful to me!”
Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. It was fine to give him the Spirit Marrow fragment. He could take the opportunity to see what use this Spirit Marrow fragment had for the jade statue.
“It’s not impossible to give it to you… However, what can you give me?”
“All? 1, the Mind Connection Technique…”
“That’s my reward for bringing you out of this place!”
“All, this…”
“Forget it, I think you’re also very pitiful. How about this? I’ll make a deal with you. You seem to know some things. If you can remember some special techniques like the Mind Connection Technique or some other secrets, you can trade the Spirit Marrow fragment with me. How about that?”
The jade statue nodded repeatedly. “I’ll listen to Big Brother!”
But soon, his voice collapsed again. “But I don’t remember anything now!”
“It’s fine. Who asked me to be so kind? I’ll give you a Spirit Marrow fragment on credit to try. When you remember, you can just repay me…”
“Big Brother is benevolent!” The jade statue was extremely touched.
From this point of view, it was indeed like a newborn baby, blank and pure.
Lin Yan took out a Spirit Marrow fragment and threw it to the jade statue.
The jade statue jumped up from his palm and caught the remains of the Spirit Marrow with both hands.
It was not much different from Xiaozhi absorbing the remains of the Spirit Marrow. The remains of the Spirit Marrow actually melted like water and seeped into the body of the broken jade statue.
Lin Yan’s gaze focused slightly. As the Spirit Marrow fragment fused into the jade statue’s body, there were actually two to three cracks on its surface that began to slowly heal. Finally, it recovered to its original state. There were no signs of damage from before!
The remains of the Spirit Marrow could help the broken jade statue repair its body!
“Awesome! Awesome!”
The jade statue trembled all over, as if it was floating.
After the remains of the Spirit Marrow completely fused, the jade statue pounced on Lin Yan’s finger and hugged it.
“Biological brother! You’re my biological brother! Big brother, big brother! 1 want more, 1 want more!”
Lin Yan:”…”
With a gentle swing, he threw the jade figurine against the wall and it rolled down.
Then, he continued to fuse the remaining Spirit Marrow fragments into Xiaozhi’s jade statue.
The broken jade statue was not angry. It got up and quickly ran to Lin Yan’s feet and climbed up his pants.
“Big Brother, Big Brother! I just remembered something!”
Lin Yan paused. “Speak.”
“Big Brother, you just said that this thing is called the Spirit Marrow, right? But 1 just remembered that the name of this thing seems to be called the Divine Marrow. It’s an extremely dangerous thing!”
Divine Marrow?
Lin Yan remained calm. “Tell me about it.”
“I just remembered that the Divine Marrow is the essence left behind by the gods. It contains divine power. If you get too close, you will be easily affected and assimilated by the divine power and become a slave of the gods!”
A slave of the gods?
Lin Yan recalled that those who buried the Spirit Marrow had lost their sense of self and even their thoughts had been distorted. Wouldn’t they be like slaves?
“However… this Divine Marrow looks different from what I remember.”
The broken jade statue was puzzled again. “This Divine Marrow looks… too small! And why is it so dry? It’s as if it’s been sucked dry?!”
It suddenly shouted, “Oh no, oh no, oh no! Why would I use the Divine Marrow? If I use the Divine Marrow, won’t 1 become a slave of the gods? Eh? That’s not right. I’m still myself. That’s strange…”
It immediately discovered something strange. There was actually no pain or discomfort during the process of absorbing the Divine Marrow just now!
This did not match the few scenes that appeared in its memory.
Suddenly, it realized something and its voice became sharp. “No, there’s no divine power in this Divine Marrow! You, you, you! Big Brother! You actually drained the divine power in the Divine Marrow?! Impossible, impossible! How can you do this?!”
Lin Yan remained calm, but his heart stirred slightly.
He had already gradually realized that it was an extremely heaven-defying and unbelievable thing for the Golden Bodhi Scripture to suck the Spirit Marrow into ruins!
He did not expect this jade statue to see through him at a glance.
If this matter was leaked, it would definitely be extremely dangerous.
A hint of danger appeared in his eyes. The origin of this broken jade statue was mysterious, and it knew his secret. He could not let it leave his hands next.
Xiaozhi finished absorbing the Spirit Marrow.
Lin Yan continued to use the Mind Connection Technique to send a message, but he did not receive a response.
Lin Yan was not discouraged. He directly transmitted the Mind Connection Technique into Xiaozhi’s jade statue through the Mind Connection Technique.
If the broken jade statue could learn the Mind Connection Technique, Xiaozhi could also learn it. At that time, they could communicate through the Mind Connection Technique.
After putting away Xiaozhi’s jade statue, Lin Yan continued forward with the broken jade statue.
He suddenly thought of something. “What’s your name? What’s your name?”
The broken jade statue stiffened slightly. “W-What’s my name? What’s my name…”
Suddenly, its voice became louder. Its tone changed from its previous cowardice and flattery to a dignified and heroic one.. “My… surname is Qin! The unparalleled Qin!”
