"Ice Cube..."
Xiao Li suddenly felt a little sour in his nose.
Our Autumn Water Pavilion still has a reliable person.
He lifted his foot, intending to jog over, but after thinking about it, he trudged over slowly and with difficulty, sitting heavily at the table, relaxing his body as if relieved of a heavy burden, like shedding a thousand-pound weight.
"Hmm? This kid was walking briskly just now, what's wrong now?"
"Is his condition worsening?"
Shang Wu and Qin Yuzhi looked embarrassed.
They had thought Li Mo was fine, they wouldn't have teased him if they had known.
"First, take his temperature."
Ying Bing twisted open the boy with a large head and took out a bronze object from inside, with tiny holes on it, like a feather quill without feathers.
This was a small trinket among her spoils when she was slaying demons in Southern Border.
As soon as Li Mo held it, it began to freeze, turning into an ice feather.
This indicated his body temperature was very low.
"Hold it in your mouth." Ying Bing told him to open his mouth.
Li Mo did as he was told, and the feather instantly turned red, and the bronze feather emitted flames.
This, in turn, indicated his body temperature was very high.
"Doesn't that mean he's experiencing both ice and fire?"
Shang Wu blinked.
"Eat what you need..."
Qin Yuzhi slapped her head: "You really did sneakily eat snow spirit ginseng behind our backs yesterday!"
"..."
Li Mo ignored them, his peripheral vision assessing Ice Cube's expression.
"How do you feel now?" Ying Bing asked, lowering her gaze.
The God Hammer Little Overlord, whose Physical Body was comparable to a Disaster Beast, Li Mo showed a 'weak' smile: "Perhaps it's just a small mishap in my cultivation; I know my own body."
"Wuwu, Baby Disciple, don't let anything happen to you!" Shang Wu became anxious.
Qin Yuzhi held up a finger, finally saying something reliable:
"So, his current condition is that he has excessive internal Yang Qi, and his exterior is affected by frost. Treatment emphasizes from the inside out, so should we first address the Yang Qi issue?"
"What should we do then...?"
She blinked, looking at Ice Cube.
Li Mo's eyes widened slightly. What was wrong with Qin Yuzhi? How did she suddenly become so humane... oh no, so spiritual?
She was practically going crazy.

Li Mo shook his head and sighed: "Maybe I'll just sleep it off and be fine."
"?"
Ying Bing was expressionless. A wisp of Inner Breath condensed on her fingertips, intending to flow into his acupuncture points to circulate a ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) few times and ascertain the specific situation.
But before her delicate hand could touch him, it landed in Li Mo's palm.
Xiao Li seemed very tired, and his gaze had dimmed slightly:
"In case... I mean, in case something really happens, please take good care of my hammer treasure. I promised it I'd find it a beautiful friend..."
"Baby Disciple, drink some strong liquor. When I get sick, I always get better after sweating it out."
Shang Wu quickly poured another cup of wine.
Give strong liquor to a patient? And sweat it out? Well, this operation is quite reasonable for Master...
"Cough cough!"
Who knew that as soon as Li Mo took a sip, he started coughing.
The wine was sprayed on the ground, and it first frosted, then... then it caught fire!
What kind of combustible ice?!
To be fair.
The Golden Statue Award Best Actor's performance this time was below par, slightly exaggerated, and seemed a bit guilty.
It was even worse than some young children pretending to have a cold because they didn't want to go to school.
But there's a saying: concern makes one confused.
"Just let Xiao Yue play with it..."
Ice Cube suspected that Xiao Li was most likely faking it, as he had a history—he had tricked her in Southern Border, making her feed him for three days.
But seeing his wilted appearance, Ying Bing's serene eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly.
What if it was real?
After all, he was forging iron in the fire veins every day, still wearing that pure yang long gown (because it wouldn't burn).
If an Inner Vision Realm practitioner didn't have protective measures, they would probably be uncomfortable...
"What kind of play is this...?"
Xue Jing entered the courtyard gate with his medicine box, looking at the Autumn Water Pavilion, which resembled a critical care ward, with a small question mark above his head.
Lao Xue turned to look at Elder Han He and Elder Zeng, asking:
"What's going on here?"
Elder Zeng was stunned: "Hmm? When we carried him to the Autumn Water Pavilion, he was already like this."
Elder Han He also nodded: "His condition doesn't seem to have worsened..."
"Lao Xue, you're finally here! Quick, come and examine him."
Shang Wu quickly made way.
Li Mo: "!"
Oh no, the truly reliable one has arrived.
Elder Han He and Elder Zeng, you two didn't run away after all, but went to Dan Ding Peak to call for help?
Do you have to be so reliable?!
"Hmm... this symptom... how strange." freewebnσvel.cѳm
Xue Jing frowned, and after examining him by observation, listening, questioning, and palpation, he let out a soft exclamation:
"Logically, with his Yang Qi so vigorous now, his exterior shouldn't be frosting up. Why is he cold on the outside and hot on the inside...?"
"Oh, you mean that, I almost forgot."
Elder Zeng slapped his head, seemingly remembering something.
He reached into Xiao Li's pocket and pulled out a chilling Ore, which had ten circles of patterns on it.
Xue Jing was startled: "Thousand-Year Frost Silver Ore? Why did you two put this on him?"
This is a stone from the bottom of the cold pool where extreme Yang produces Yin, deep within the fire veins. It's also a rare forging Material. The Frost Sky Sword contains some, and its counterpart is the Scarlet Fire Copper Ore.
"This kid is hot!"
Elder Han He extended his hand irritably, his palm slightly red: "Carrying him burned my hands red, didn't I have to cool him down?"
"...So his 'external cold' came from this... huh?"
The reason Li Mo was freezing was found.
It was physical cooling.
The large Autumn Water Pavilion suddenly fell silent.
The withered leaves of the banyan tree rustled in the cold wind, and a crow, coming from who knows where, flew by in the sky, emitting a noisy, unpleasant cry, like some kind of mockery...
The atmosphere was once extremely awkward.
"So that's how it is... I'm fine... Haha, I knew it..."
Li Mo was no longer cold. Without the suppression of the Frost Silver Ore, the abundant Yang Qi once again made his body hot.
But why did he inexplicably feel a bit cold again?
He stiffly turned his head and saw Ice Cube's clear and cold jade-like face, expressionless and very 'kind'.
Not funny.
"It's good that you're fine."
Ying Bing said this softly, then turned and went upstairs.
"It's over..."
Xiao Li mumbled to himself, he seemed not entirely fine...
Xue Lao quickly wrote down a prescription to reduce internal heat: "Sigh, let me prescribe some medicine for you. Your internal heat has been strong lately, and you've been eating too well. You need to reduce the fire and then rest well for a few days, understand?"
"Hmm, I still have a weapon to forge, so I have to go."
"Then you should rest for two days."
Elder Han He and Elder Zeng also said.
"Thank you, both Elders."
"Ah, it's nothing, no need to be polite."
The two old men left the scene of the mishap.
"Hmph." Even Shang Wu, with all her naivety, knew her disciple was faking it just now. She snorted and returned to her room.
"Sigh."
Qin Yuzhi shook her head looking at him. Young man, you've been caught, haven't you?
Finally, only Xiao Li was left, petrified on the spot, feeling cold and desolate.
A song involuntarily popped into his mind.
"Snowflakes fluttering~ North wind howling~~~"
