CHAPTER 145: CHAPTER 145: EVERY ONE OF THEM IS A SOCIAL CLIMBER

Although Xin Lin detested the Rascal Corpse in her heart, she still believed some of what it said.

It said that the Dan Wood Furnace was useful, and it must be.

She had also doubted the origin of this furnace before.

Last time, it acted on its own, swallowed the Martial Arts Extreme Scripture, and spat out a One Vein Scripture, making Xin Lin overjoyed for a while.

She thought she had picked up a treasure, but unexpectedly, after that time, the furnace showed no more reactions.

If it weren’t for Gui Hu’s extra reminder this time, Xin Lin wouldn’t bother spending more effort on the furnace.

"Illness!"

As soon as she heard the word illness, Silly Chu, who was sitting obediently, suddenly jumped up.

Xin Lin was startled by his action, thinking he was having an attack, and accidentally dropped the furnace.

The furnace hit an oil lamp, spilling oil on it, and as soon as the oil met the fire, a flame sprang up, quickly engulfing the Dan Wood Furnace, turning Xin Lin’s face pale.

The Dan Wood Furnace was related to Chu Beiqing’s life; it must not be burned.

She ignored the flames and went to put out the fire.

Seeing Xin Lin rush to save the furnace regardless of everything, Silly Chu was also startled and followed suit in putting out the fire.

Together, the two soon extinguished the fire, and Xin Lin picked up the furnace.

"Silly Chu, what’s wrong with you?

Xin Lin couldn’t understand why Silly Chu had such a big reaction just from hearing about seeing a doctor.

Before he became Silly Chu, he was an Imperial Physician, seeing patients every day; there’s no reason for such a reaction.

"Don’t want to see a doctor...eat...medicine...bitter...neck...hurts..."

Silly Chu shook his head repeatedly and kept backing away.

Xin Lin grabbed his hand, trying to calm him down.

Silly Chu had a pained expression, and Xin Lin felt something unusual in her hand; looking down, she saw that Silly Chu’s hand was covered in blisters.

She looked again at the Dan Wood Furnace; indeed, there were also bloodstains on it.

In an effort to put out the fire, this fool had tried to save the fire with his bare hands, burning his hands.

Silly Chu hung his head low, looking wronged, and kept silent no matter how Xin Lin questioned him.

"Little Lin, what happened?"

Shi Guiren asked from outside; she had heard the commotion from next door.

Xin Lin asked Shi Guiren for help, and they bandaged Silly Chu together, then to keep this fool from causing more trouble, she sent Shi Guiren to take him to find food.

Xin Lin planned to, if she couldn’t figure out how to use the Dan Wood Furnace, she would have to grit her teeth and ask Gui Hu again, even though he was bound to mock her.

Xin Lin took another look at the Dan Wood Furnace, and was taken aback again.

"Where did the blood go?"

Xin Lin remembered clearly, earlier there was blood of Silly Chu on the Dan Wood Furnace, but during the time they bandaged, the bloodstains had disappeared without a trace.

In her mind, the Heaven-defying Book flashed.

"Life Book Prompt: Does the life master want to use 10 Heaven-defying Value to use the Dan Wood Furnace once?"

Just when things couldn’t get worse, the Heaven-defying Book came to join the fray.

Since the last time Xin Lin was cheated by the Life Book, she had been ignoring the Heaven-defying Book.

The Dan Wood Furnace was, after all, a product of the Heaven-defying Book, which meant the Heaven-defying Book knew how to use the Dan Wood Furnace!

Xin Lin finally understood.

Xin Lin’s eyes caught the incident of the Life Book; her Heaven-defying Value had increased.

"Repelling local ruffian at Martial Arts Apprentice Level, Heaven-defying Value +5.

Parent and child recognition, Heaven-defying Value +5."

Seeing the sudden increase of 10 points in Heaven-defying Value and recalling the prompt from the Heaven-defying Book, Xin Lin realized something.
