Text Chapter 102: The Art of Charm

The next few days were inexplicably quiet. It seemed that Lu Mo and Chen Yun did not dare to come again under the threat of Ishikawa's talisman. And the Lin family did not take any other measures because of Elder Yun.

Ishikawa seized the rare time and practiced wholeheartedly every day, only taking a short break when Lin Min came.

In general, Lin Min just fetched some water, and Ishikawa used it to make tea. Sometimes Ishikawa did not drink tea that day, and Lin Min had nothing to do, just wiping the table and sweeping the floor.

How could a young lady like Lin Min, who was bossy at home, do such rough work? A good wipe was just so-so, and it was definitely not clean.

Of course, Ishikawa did not care much about this matter, and even wished that Lin Min would not come.

One day, Lin Min came to Ishikawa's room as usual. Ishikawa threw a rag and said, "Wipe the table and you can leave." After that, he closed his eyes and rested.

After a moment,

"Junior Brother Shi!" Lin Min called softly.

"Is there something wrong?" Ishikawa opened his eyes and was a little surprised. Lin Min came here to clean and rarely spoke. Even if he spoke, it would not be in this tone.

"Look at my eyes, is there dust in them?" Lin Min moved his face closer.

Ishikawa looked subconsciously and suddenly found that there was a strange illusion in Lin Min's eyes, and his consciousness seemed a little blurred immediately.

But it was only a moment, and soon, Ishikawa returned to normal.

"Charm technique!" Ishikawa's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Lin Min to practice such an evil spell. When he was in the mine, Ishikawa had already experienced this kind of spell to control the mind, but he didn't expect to encounter it again here.

Ishikawa snorted coldly and reflected Lin Min's charmed thoughts back heavily.

"Ah!" Lin Min shouted softly, and her face became flushed. She fell softly to the ground.

Ishikawa thought it was strange, because Ishikawa didn't fight back with his mind just now, so even if Lin Min was hit back, she shouldn't fall to the ground. And the charm method just now was obviously not very proficient, as if she had just practiced it for a short time.

Lin Min lay on the ground, her face turned red and white, and her whole body was trembling.

"Has she gone crazy?" Ishikawa looked at Lin Min like this, and he was already 70% sure in his heart.

If Lin Min went crazy somewhere else, Ishikawa would not even bother to take a look, but in Ishikawa's room, it would be very different. If Lin Min had any problems, Ishikawa would have no way to defend himself.

Ishikawa sighed, helped Lin Min up, put his palm on Lin Min's head, and injected a pure spiritual power into Lin Min's body. At the same time, he took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into Lin Min's mouth.

Then he slowly helped Lin Min regulate the wandering spiritual energy in his body.

Half an hour later, Lin Min slowly opened his eyes, stroked his forehead with his hand, and said to himself: "What happened?"

When he saw Ishikawa again, his face immediately turned red.

"Tell me what happened." Ishikawa said coldly.

"No...nothing..." Lin Min's face changed slightly.

"No need to hide it. As an outer disciple of Shuiling Sect, you know the consequences of practicing evil methods." Ishikawa pointed out to her mercilessly, "And you dare to use the charm technique against me!"

"I didn't..." Lin Min's eyes showed panic, "Junior Brother Shi, please don't tell anyone, I beg you."

Lin Min saw that Ishikawa didn't speak, and hurriedly said, "I did want to use the charm technique just now, and wanted Junior Brother Shi to be fooled, so that I can openly not come to be your maid. I really have no other ideas."

"I have already told you that I don't need you here at all. You can't sweep the floor clean, and the more you wipe the table, the dirtier it gets. You can only fetch some spring water. Can't I do these things myself? Do you think I have to ask you to do it?" Ishikawa said coldly: "Starting from tomorrow, don't come. If you dare to come again, be careful that I will spread the news that you practice evil methods."

"You won't tell me as long as I don't come?" Lin Min was a little unbelievable.

"That's right, but you'd better make it clear to your father and don't let him bother me again. We originally had no grudges, but you insisted on getting me into these troubles." Ishikawa said helplessly.

"Actually... I... I practiced this charm method to keep my face young." Lin Min looked at Ishikawa, and an inexplicable change occurred in her heart. She originally thought that Ishikawa was very annoying, but after these few days of contact, Lin Min actually felt that Ishikawa was not so annoying.

It is undeniable that Ishikawa has many advantages. He never stepped out of the door every day and practiced all day. Lin Min also thought that she practiced hard enough, but compared with Ishikawa, she was far behind.

In addition, Ishikawa had no ill will towards her at all. Lin Min originally thought that Ishikawa would humiliate her severely and let her do this and that. Unexpectedly, Ishikawa was completely perfunctory, and asked her to leave quickly after doing something casually every day.

And today, Lin Min decided to use the charm method that she had practiced not long ago to catch a little bit of Ishikawa's handle. Unexpectedly, she was obsessed with it the first time she used it. If it weren't for Ishikawa, the consequences would be very serious.

"Preserve your youth?" Ishikawa smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was the first time he heard of someone practicing such an evil method to preserve their youth. But this was Lin Min's own business, and Ishikawa was too lazy to care.

"Go away." Ishikawa waved his hand.

"I'm really leaving. You have to keep this a secret for me. Don't tell anyone else!"

Ishikawa nodded helplessly. Seeing Lin Min leave, Ishikawa breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this burden.

There is not much time left before the opening of the ancient ruins. Shichuan needs to seize the time and practice desperately, striving to practice to the tenth level of Qi training before entering the ancient ruins, so that he will have more self-protection ability.

The appearance of Patriarch Qi and Elder Yun's recent attitude towards Shichuan made Shichuan hesitate a little. After all, the ancient ruins are a very dangerous place, and Shichuan does not want to take risks.

Based on the existence of Patriarch Qi, Elder Yun is unlikely to harm Shichuan now, and will even protect him.

This greatly reduces Shichuan's pressure. If he continues to practice in Shuilingmen, it will be fine.

However, Shichuan thought that Patriarch Qi as a backer is not a long-term solution after all. He can only improve his own strength and become a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.

Foundation building is the beginning of entering the great road of cultivation. And if you want to build a foundation, foundation-building pills are a must.

Even with the assistance of the Immortal Mansion, Shichuan does not know how long it will take to collect enough spirit stones to buy foundation-building pills. This is definitely an astronomical figure. What's more, there will be a Foundation Building Pill auction this time, will there be one next time? No one can tell for sure.

So if you want to get the Foundation Building Pill and want to advance, entering the ancient ruins seems to be the only option.
