Chapter 17 - Helping Qing Tan Resolve the Cold Qi

[Task: Teach Qing Tan the Falling Rock Fist. Reward: Charm +2.]

Having successfully established the task, Lin Yun began teaching Qing Tan martial arts.

Qing Tan's Falling Rock Fist had already reached the introductory level. Her movements were decent, but they were merely for show and didn't unleash the true power of the Falling Rock Fist.

Lin Yun demonstrated the essence of the Falling Rock Fist one by one, explaining and analyzing them for Qing Tan. Occasionally, he would provide hands-on guidance, which was all part of the proper teaching.

At first, Qing Tan was a bit reserved.

But as she gradually felt the improvement in her fist technique, she became immersed in it.

After practicing for a while, Qing Tan was drenched in sweat, her delicate gasps coming in quick succession.

Although her physique was special, she had only just started cultivating and couldn't sustain long periods of practicing fist techniques.

Having been deeply immersed in practice for a long time today, she was already somewhat exhausted.

At this moment, Qing Tan suddenly shivered.

"Oh no, the cold is acting up again. Why is it early?" Qing Tan's face changed, and she thought to herself that something was wrong.

Her cold attacks had a certain regularity. According to her estimation, the next attack was still a few days away. Could it be that the excessive exercise today caused it to come early?

There was no time to think about the reason. Qing Tan squatted down uncomfortably, instinctively curling up.

Her delicate, jade-like little face, which had been slightly flushed from the high-intensity martial arts practice, instantly turned pale. Traces of visible cold air slowly seeped out from within her body. The fine sweat on her body condensed into ice crystals. Even the ground she was on showed fine ice shards, and frost formed on the grass blades.

Lin Yun felt the cold air approaching and immediately his face changed as he stared at Qing Tan.

"What's wrong, Qing Tan?" Lin Yun immediately grabbed Qing Tan's icy little hand. The blood in his hand also froze.

Lin Yun had no choice but to channel his Origin Power to resist and dissolve the cold force.

This was a very overbearing power that erupted from within Qing Tan's body.

"It's okay, Brother Lin Yun, don't worry. This isn't the first time. I'll just grit my teeth and get through it," Qing Tan said, her small mouth trembling.

Since she was born, she had experienced countless cold attacks. Each time was agonizing, and she had grown accustomed to enduring this pain.

Lin Yun felt helpless and could only hold Qing Tan tightly, using his own warmth to help her, and increasing the output of his Origin Power, sending it into Qing Tan's body, trying to help her resist the cold air.

However, this clearly had little effect. Qing Tan was still in great pain.

This was not something that Origin Power could solve. Otherwise, Lin Xiao's Origin Power was stronger than Lin Yun's.

Lin Xiao and Lin Dong both knew about Qing Tan's cold attacks, but they were also unable to help her alleviate the pain.

Although Lin Dong could use the Ancestral Stone to absorb the cold air from Qing Tan's body, he could only absorb it. He had no way to help with the painful process of the cold air rushing out from within Qing Tan's body.

The best way was for Qing Tan to control this power herself.

"Brother Lin Yun, don't bother, it's useless," Qing Tan grabbed Lin Yun's hand, preventing him from expending his Origin Power.

Although the little loli's face was tender, she was very strong. Enduring the pain, she forced a smile, telling Lin Yun not to worry.

"Master, do you need me to help her?" Suddenly, a clear voice appeared in Lin Yun's mind.

It was the Alchemy Furnace Red Spirit.

They had already automatically established a connection and could communicate through spiritual means.

"Red Spirit, you can help her? Quick, tell me how!" Lin Yun said in surprise.

Seeing the little loli suffering in his arms, he couldn't bear it either.

Red Spirit quickly said, "Master, put her into the internal space of the Alchemy Furnace. Red Spirit can control the temperature inside the furnace and warm her."

Lin Yun didn't want to expose the existence of Red Spirit. After all, it was a divine artifact, just like Lin Dong's Ancestral Stone, and should be kept as a core secret.

Lin Dong had never told anyone, including his father and mother.

Actually, given Qing Tan's background, even if she knew, it wouldn't have much impact. Lin Yun was a transmigrator and wouldn't misjudge people.

However, Lin Yun still wasn't planning to let Qing Tan know so early. Their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.

Perhaps when the task of capturing Qing Tan's heart was successful, he could open up to her.

"Qing Tan, I can help you, but I need to cover your eyes. You can't peek in the middle. You can only open your eyes after I take it off for you."

Time was pressing. Qing Tan was enduring pain every second. Lin Yun directly tore off a piece of black cloth from his body and covered Qing Tan's eyes.

"Brother Lin Yun, go ahead, I'll listen to you," Qing Tan said obediently. She chose to trust Lin Yun.

At the same time, she was curious about what method Lin Yun would have to help her solve the long-standing pain of the cold air.

Lin Yun took out the Alchemy Furnace, opened the lid, and the Alchemy Furnace immediately grew larger, its opening wide.

Lin Yun picked up Qing Tan and entered the furnace together.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun was multitasking, trying to establish a task.

Having gotten used to the task system, Lin Yun would try it before doing anything.

[Task: Help Qing Tan resolve the pain of the cold attack. Reward: Charm +2, Luck +2.]

It really succeeded. An unexpected gain... Lin Yun sighed, "Another good tool for brushing tasks. Qing Tan is almost catching up to Lin Dong."

The next second, in the crimson furnace space, there were two more people. As the crimson runes inside the furnace lit up, the temperature rapidly rose. Under Red Spirit's control, streams of warm and gentle energy integrated into Qing Tan's body, dissolving the cold air within her.

"Brother Lin Yun, what did you do to me? It feels so good."

Qing Tan couldn't help but voice her pleasure, saying she was really enjoying it.

She was just used to the cold attacks; the pain hadn't lessened, and the intensity of the cold attacks kept increasing, making her pain more and more severe.

After so many years of not finding a way to alleviate this pain, she had already given up hope.

Now, the warmth surging towards her from all directions, covering her entire body without any blind spots, dissolved the cold air rushing out from within her, making her body feel warm and cozy.

The pain disappeared, and the feeling of happiness instantly filled her.

Qing Tan was so excited she couldn't control herself. As if grasping happiness, she tightly held onto Lin Yun, afraid that this happiness would be fleeting and the pain would strike again.

"Don't be nervous, this is my treasure. It seems it can indeed alleviate your pain," Lin Yun explained.

It wasn't just alleviating pain; it made her so happy she could cry... Qing Tan didn't know how to describe her feelings at this moment. However, she still asked with some unease, "Brother Lin Yun, can your treasure help me forever?"

This feeling of going from hell to heaven, the instant happiness was too strong, but it also made Qing Tan feel a bit anxious, afraid that Lin Yun's treasure could only block it for a while and wouldn't last until her cold attack finished.

Going from heaven to hell like that would be even more painful.

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light... Lin Yun was now the one bringing light to Qing Tan.

"Don't worry, my treasure is always here and can be used continuously," Lin Yun said with absolute certainty.

Hearing these words, Qing Tan felt incredibly secure.

"Thank you, Brother Lin Yun!" Qing Tan said from the bottom of her heart.

Time passed minute by minute. As the warm alchemical fire aura continuously surged in, Qing Tan's face regained its flush, and the atmosphere slowly relaxed.

Qing Tan finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin Yun, can I see your treasure?"

"Don't worry, I swear I won't tell anyone, including my father, my mother, and Brother Lin Dong."

Qing Tan added in a low voice, "I'm just too curious."

After her eyes were covered, her other senses were infinitely amplified. The omnipresent, all-pervading warmth truly fascinated her and made her yearn for it.

This made her incredibly curious, like a hundred claws scratching at her heart.

What kind of magical treasure could do this?

However, Lin Yun decisively refused, "No, it's not time yet!"
