Chapter 267: Chapter 140: Turning the Bai Family Has Succeeded! Next Step, Attack Changping Prefecture!_3
Hearing this response, Luo Yong was first slightly stunned.
Then, his face became covered with black lines.
Good grief, he’s gone back to warm up?
As the leading commander, I haven’t left, yet that Tang Jian fellow has run off by himself?
“Go, bring that Tang Jian to me.”
Luo Yong said with a stern face and a somewhat serious expression.
…
As time passed.
After a few cups of tea had gone by.
That Tang Jian, dressed in a Taoist robe and holding a White Feather Fan, was caught at the peak of this mountain.
Face-to-face with the gusts of cold wind,
Tang Jian couldn’t help but shiver slightly.
This climate is indeed unbearably cold.
If one could get a Cooling Charm and reverse its use, slowly releasing the temperature contained within the talisman,
then that would be nice.
Unfortunately…
Cooling Charms are extremely precious.
Using them in such a way would truly be a waste.
“Luo, Brother Luo.”
“Why have you called me here?”
Tang Jian pulled up the collar of his clothes and then asked in a low voice while hunching his neck.
“Take a close look at the current fortunes of the three major families of Changping Prefecture,” Luo Yong said, pointing in front of him towards Changping Prefecture.
Tang Jian looked in the direction of Changping Prefecture and then could not help but slightly raise his eyebrows.
“Oh? The luck has begun to change…”
Luo Yong asked eagerly, “Where has it changed? Tell me in detail.”
Tang Jian straightened his neck.
He silently shook the White Feather Fan in his hand.
Just as he was about to play it cool and raise his own level of coolness,
another bone-chilling gust of wind came head-on,
forcing him to tuck his neck again.
He no longer dared to wave the Feather Fan in his hand casually.
A cultivator certainly can strengthen the body and enhance one’s power,
but before reaching a certain level,
one naturally cannot fend off the external influences on oneself.
Even if one has reached the level of Viscera Refinement or even the Blood Refinement Realm, being able to control the Qi-Blood Force to cover a thin layer around the body,
to counteract the changes in the climate,
such an operation is just too costly for the Qi-Blood Force.
As a result, covering the body with Qi-Blood Force, maintaining it for even less than a minute, will deplete all of the Qi-Blood Force in the body.
Even if one has an abundance of Qi-Blood Force,
being able to maintain it for perhaps ten minutes or half an hour,
there surely aren’t that many fools who would use their body’s precious Qi-Blood Force to resist the severe cold or torrid heat, right?
Even if there are, I estimate they wouldn’t exceed the number of palms one has on both hands.
…
He shivered slightly.
After feeling a little better, Tang Jian, clad in a Taoist robe, then said in a low voice to Luo Yong beside him.
However, as he was speaking,
he suddenly became distracted by a very familiar talisman that Luo Yong had tucked away within his armor.
After a brief hesitation,
Tang Jian reached out with his right hand.
He touched towards the chest area of Luo Yong’s armor.
Indeed, as soon as Tang Jian touched Luo Yong’s armor, crafted of gold, he felt an extremely comfortable warmth.
This warmth was even more comforting than being inside a tent.
At that moment, Tang Jian understood.
That’s why Luo Yong stood atop the mountain, facing the bone-chilling wind, without seeming to feel anything.
So you’ve been secretly using the Cooling Charm in reverse.
No wonder you don’t feel the cold.
“Why did you stop talking?”
Luo Yong seemed to notice Tang Jian’s gaze, so he pushed the Cooling Charm deeper into his armor.
Until the edges of the talisman were completely out of sight.
Only then did he say in a low voice to Tang Jian in front of him.
“Otherwise, shall we continue back inside the tent?”
“There’s a fire inside, it’s warmer…”
Tang Jian looked at Luo Yong before him with a slightly complex expression and said,
“No, let’s talk here.”
“If we’re so afraid of a bit of cold, how are we supposed to take down Changping Prefecture, how are we to compete for the Da Feng Dynasty?”
Luo Yong stood with his hands behind his back, speaking with a sense of righteous sternness.
Of course, had Luo Yong removed the reversed Cooling Charm that was emitting warmth from his person at that moment,
his words would have carried more weight.
“Sigh…” Tang Jian sighed softly, casting a resentful glance at Luo Yong beside him before nodding silently, “Alright, alright, we’ll talk here.”
“According to the portents of fate,
“Now, the fortunes of the Chen and Huang Families have weakened to a critical point.”
“While the Bai Family’s fortune has increased roughly by a factor of two compared to a few days ago.”
Luo Yong said in a low voice, “So, what you mean is that the Chen Family and Huang Family won’t last many more days, while the Bai Family will rise rapidly?”
Tang Jian nodded silently: “Roughly, yes. Interpreted by the portents of fate, the Bai Family’s actions this time will succeed, and the alliance of the three major Changping Prefecture families will also collapse due to the Bai Family’s betrayal…”
After speaking, Tang Jian thought of hurrying back to the tent to warm up.
The clothing he wore was not particularly thick.
He did not have a reversed Cooling Charm like Luo Yong did.
Battling the bone-chilling wind atop the mountain,
his frame could not withstand it.
If it went on for too long, developing some physical ailments was not impossible.
However, just as Tang Jian was about to turn and leave,
he noticed some other slight details that he hadn’t before.
“Eh…”
“Something seems a bit off.”
Tang Jian narrowed his eyes and muttered softly.
“What’s off? Where is it off?”
Luo Yong, looking at Tang Jian in front of him, quickly asked.
