Late at night, in front of the mountain temple.
The cold wind was biting, and the southern sky remained icy cold, piercing to the bone in the mountain night.
Yibai stood beside a tree, removed a piece of bark, and with a single breath, performed the Spitting Technique, turning the bark into mink fur.
He held the mink fur in his hands and covered A'Nian in the palanquin, to shield her from the cold.
After finishing, he turned his gaze to the temple surrounded by walls on all sides, quietly waiting.
Not long after,
Dian Daoren turned back and exited the temple.
In his hand was an object—a sandalwood bead.
"This object was a gift from the Buddhist Sect's venerable Monk Daochan. Having heard that the Dragon Lord has cultivated the Buddhist Law, please, Dragon Lord, infuse this bead daily with the Buddhist Aura. Placing it next to the Human Skin Drum for an extended period will surely suppress the evil energy of the drum."
