Nighttime, in the dimly lit stone chamber.
Mingye lay on the stone bed, while Chen Mu used a dagger to slowly cut open the clothes on her back, revealing the Demonic Pattern and blood-soaked fasteners underneath.
After tearing the clothes, Chen Mu took out a piece of clothing from his storage ring, tore off a small piece to use as a rag, and wiped the wound on her back.
The biggest difference between Demonic Pattern and runes is that Demonic Pattern involve biological structures. If you want to modify Demonic Pattern, you must have a sufficient understanding of human anatomy. Otherwise, you will not only fail to break the Demonic Pattern, but you may also damage your body.
When Chen Mu was in Chen Village, he did a lot of research on human anatomy in order to study cultivation methods suitable for the villagers, so he had a certain foundation for cracking these Demonic Pattern.
After wiping away the bloodstains, Chen Mu took out the Fu Mo tray and then began to mix various spiritual materials to prepare the Fu Mo.
He had almost exhausted his Spiritual Power materials, but fortunately he had purchased a large amount of materials to create the Chess Position Solver, otherwise it would have been quite inconvenient.
After preparing the Fu Mo, Chen Mu took out his talisman brush and began to modify the Demonic Pattern patterns on Mingye's back.
"This process might be a little painful, just bear with it!"
Given Mingye's patience, Chen Mu felt his reminder was somewhat unnecessary, but he still couldn't help but speak up.
"Good!"
Mingye responded.
When the Fu Mo touched Mingye's fair skin, the surrounding area gradually turned red, and wisps of light smoke rose up.
Chen Mu's hands were like precise instruments, constantly outlining and altering the entire Demonic Pattern beyond recognition.
After a short while, he stopped and carefully examined the entire Demonic Pattern pattern.
"Okay, I'll remove these Spirit-Locking Clasp for you now!"
After speaking, he placed one hand on Mingye's shoulder to hold him in place, then grabbed a fastener.
A hiss!
When the rivet was pulled out, the Demonic Pattern flickered briefly, but instead of harming Mingye, they quickly repaired the wound caused by the rivet.
As Spiritual Power surged, the skin and flesh around the wound also writhed continuously, and after a short while, the wound from the nailing had basically healed.
He did the same thing and pulled out the remaining dozen or so rivets.
"I've now modified this sealing Demonic Pattern into a healing Demonic Pattern. If you get injured in the future, you can quickly heal your wounds simply by activating this Demonic Pattern with your Spiritual Power."
There was a hint of pride in Chen Mu's tone. After all, he believed that even in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, there were few who could change a sealing Demonic Pattern into a recovery Demonic Pattern so quickly.
"Thanks!"
Mingye braced himself with his hands, trying to sit up, but as soon as he was halfway up, his clothes started to fall down.
She gasped in surprise, then realized her back had been ripped open. She quickly covered her clothes, turned around, and lay down on the bed.
Chen Mu caught a glimpse of that fleeting spring light. He felt a rush of heat to his head, followed by a warm sensation in his nose, as if a warm current was flowing out.
He quickly lowered his head and wiped his nose with his hand.
"No way! A nosebleed? That doesn't make sense!"
Looking at the blood on the back of his hand, he couldn't help but complain.
In his past life, he was a modern young man who absolutely believed in science. He had even participated in a discussion about whether it was true that people get nosebleeds when they see beautiful women.
His answer was naturally no; science shows that nosebleeds are caused by changes in the nasal mucosa...
But now, the reality is unfolding before my eyes...
"Damn science!"
Lying on the bed, Mingye saw Chen Mu with his head down, muttering to himself as if he had seen a ghost, and didn't know what to say.
After a while, she finally spoke softly.
" Chen Mu, I just sent all the clothes in my storage ring to be washed yesterday. Do you have any spare clothes? Can I borrow a set?"
Chen Mu quickly rubbed his nose a few times, making sure it was clean, before turning around.
"Huh? Yes, there is!"
He took out a brand-new set of the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion male disciple clothing from his storage ring and handed it to Mingye.
Mingye took the clothes, but his gaze towards him was somewhat strange.
Unbeknownst to him, although he had wiped the blood off his nose, it had smeared onto both sides of his cheeks, making him look even stranger.
"You... you turn around!"
Mingye waved his finger, offering a reminder.
"Good!"
Chen Mu immediately turned around, focusing his gaze on his nose and his mind, banishing all distracting thoughts.
Mingye stood up and began to change his clothes.
However, she didn't notice that the candlelight from the stone table cast her shadow on the wall, and in front of Chen Mu's line of sight, was Mingye's shadow.
Chen Mu was looking at the ground and hadn't paid attention to what was in front of him until Mingye had been changing her clothes for a while, at which point he noticed a shapely female figure in front of him.
He opened his mouth as if to offer a reminder, but then stopped himself.
Bringing it up now might make things even more awkward, right?
A warm sensation flowed down his nose again, and he quickly lowered his head to cover his nose, trying to stop himself from overthinking.
At fourteen, a time of youthful confusion, Chen Mu wouldn't have dared to be so calm if he didn't possess the experience of an adult.
"Okay, you can turn around now!"
After a while, Mingye finally changed his clothes, and Chen Mu also turned around.
Chen Mu's clothes were slightly too big for Mingye. After all, although Chen Mu was young, he was a man, and even now, he was much taller and bigger than Mingye.
Are you... alright?
Mingye noticed that Chen Mu had a few more bloodstains on his cheek, and couldn't help but point to his own face to remind him.
"Huh? I'm fine!"
Chen Mu realized what was happening, took out a pair of mirrors from his storage ring, and looked at himself.
He used these lenses for his research, and he immediately noticed the bloodstains on his cheek. He smiled awkwardly and wiped them away with his hand.
"I've been feeling a bit feverish lately, sorry!"
Mingye looked at him strangely, wondering what he was up to, but didn't delve into it.
She looked around, finally fixing her gaze on the skull beside her.
The stone bed here is very large, and the skeleton only occupies one side of the space. In order to break the Spirit-Locking Clasp as soon as possible, the two of them did not pay attention to the skeleton and lay down on the other side of the stone bed.
Now that everything was resolved, she couldn't help but become curious about the skeleton.
Mingye was professionally trained and could tell at a glance that it was a female skeleton.
This skeleton is very likely the owner of this stone chamber, but it's unknown why she died here.
Looking down from the skull, you can see a small bottle in its hand, decorated with simple blue and white porcelain that has turned slightly yellowed with age.
Mingye stood up, clasped her hands together, and bowed to the skeleton as a way of thanking her for building the stone chamber and saving their lives.
