CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

IMMORTAL TWIN

When I opened my eyes, I can’t say I was all that happy about being here for so long, but complaining about some stupid assassins wasn’t going to help me much either. The spirit sat nearby, a fire still burning near me, but it was distinctly starting to die. The temperature had plummeted far enough that a thin layer of ice covered the entire surface inside the cave now, and I wasn’t sure the presence of another winter spirit so near me was helping with things either.

“What has the Divine One said?” Bai Jing asked, showing a rare display of emotion as concern and hope lingered across her face.

“He’ll help us, but I need to do something first before he can,” I said, glancing sideways. The mini version of me was still running around, helping take care of me. There was a constant stream of Chi connecting it to me, but it was faint enough that it wouldn’t hurt me, even in my current state. “I need you two to gather some materials for me. I need to upgrade the doll,” I said.

The spirit looked at me in confusion, then to my mini me. Even my own doll looked confused. “How is this going to help us?”

“It’s what Xuanwu told me to do,” I replied, shrugging.

The spirit looked like she had things to say, but at my words, she simply gave me a nod. “Consider it done.”

I was grateful to both of them, as the spirit and doll headed out soon after with a list of items to procure for me. In the meantime, I shuffled around looking for my pouch, and grabbed a needle from inside it. This next part was going to suck. I slowly crawled over to the pot they’d used to make something that looked like soup. I poured the soup out into one of the wooden bowls lying around, grunting with each movement, my wounds aching and starting to bleed once more. Even with a superhuman physique, this much bleeding was going to kill me sooner or later, and the poison still dulled my ability to use Chi to heal myself, leaving me with few good options.

After the pot was cleaned and cleared of the gunk, I poured in clean water from the gourd I carried for the journey. Next, I grabbed a single strand of my hair, cutting it clean and added it to the pot alongside the needle. After a moment of thought, I cut a few more strands and threw them in as well.

It was gross, but human hair was great for what I needed it to do, and this was the only good option I had available. It wouldn’t do the job completely, but it’d be enough for me to not be lying down and resting the entire time I was here, simply waiting to freeze to death.

After a few minutes of boiling, I replaced the water and repeated the process a few times, before I figured it was clean enough, and grabbed the needle and strands of hair.
