Chapter 1347 Dangerous Intuition

Feng Jiu shook her head again: “No.” She had only seen ghosts before.

The old woman sat down and said: “The people in this town have moved away a long time ago. It was because of the vengeful spirits here. They thought that they were ghosts and the Toaist priests that they hired couldn’t do anything. So in the end, they moved away.”

As she listened to the reply to her first question, Feng Jiu’s eyes wavered and she listened quietly. The hunchbacked old woman gave her a strange feeling, like that of a highly-skilled person who had retreated from the world to the countryside.

Everyone in this town had gone and left her here alone. The old woman lived in a place like this by herself and her only companions were the vengeful spirits outside.

Her so-called Spirit Refining technique was something she had never seen nor heard of before. Swallowing the vengeful spirit and using her own body as a furnace, she was actually able to the pure white soul that looked like cotton wool.

From her words, it seemed that she had already seen through her disguise and knew that she was a girl. She also seemed to know that she was an alchemist. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have talked to her about the primordial spirit being used in elixirs.

But why would such a person tell her things like this? It was like she was spreading her knowledge, telling her about things that she had never seen before. For a person whom she had just met, this was quite unusual.

Though she hadn’t detected any killing intent from her body, even so, she still felt a trace of anxiety in her heart. Because of the unfathomable depth of the person in front of her, she felt like she was in danger.

Her sixth sense has always been very accurate. It was precisely because of this that she felt this old woman was odd. Though inside she was wary and guarded against the old woman, her face however, didn’t reveal any of the feelings that she felt. Her demeanor showed that she regarded the old woman as a good person to help her.

Up till this point, she had indeed done nothing but help her, so it was only normal for her to show grat.i.tude and trust.

“They’ve all moved away, but I like it here. I’ve lived here for so many years, I can’t bear to leave.” She raised her head as she spoke, her dry-well like eyes without waves staring at Feng Jiu.

Though it was meant to be an ordinary glance, however, to Feng Jiu, that glance seemed to have a different meaning. When that glance landed on her, her heart sank a little. Her eyes narrowed with a smile as she spoke briskly: “A lot of things are a habit, take me for example, I like to walk around in beggar’s clothes.”

“Yes, they’re all habits.”

The hunchbacked old woman responded and lowered her head and eyes. She pulled a thread the length of a toothpick from her dress as she sat there and tied a knot around it.

Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu took out the cake the old woman had given her earlier. She looked at the sesame seeds sprinkled on the cake and her eyes flashed as she took a bite of the cake.

“Old lady, how come you can use your body as a furnace? Won’t your body be overwhelmed?” She asked as she ate.

She raised her head and looked at Feng Jiu and said in her hoa.r.s.e, old voice: “No, because my body is a furnace.”

“Then what about this primordial spirit?” She pointed to the little thing on her shoulder: “This thing will stay like this? It seems to like me.”

“Haha…” The old woman laughed lowly, her old voice trembled: “It likes you because the breath on your body is clean.”
