Only then did Chen Sanshi react, sheathing the Qingxu Sword and leaving the pond's edge.
Just now...
Was Eldest Senior Sister using the jade pendant to heal Second Senior Sister?
And the formation by the pond also looked to be meant for healing.

Jiang Qiongsu's voice sounded again from beyond the frost mist. "If I remember correctly, you cultivate fire arts? Come back here."
Chen Sanshi returned to the pond and passed through the frost mist, where he saw that the Blind Woman was already soaking in the water.

Jiang Qiongsu's face was visibly much paler than before. She stopped what she was doing, tossed the jade pendant to him, and said, "I'll teach you the incantation. Use the fire arts within your body to heal Xiyue."
"Alright."

Under the double reinforcement, the "ice sculpture" at the pond's core began melting at a speed visible to the naked
