Unfortunately, the temperature deep within the magma was far too high, and even Jiang Yuchuan, who possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core stage, dared not venture deep inside rashly.

Unless he finds an ice-attribute protective magic item or an ice-attribute spiritual object to refine a batch of Ice Soul Pills with the same effect, Jiang Yuchuan would absolutely not take the risk.

Forget about ice-attribute protective magic items. The only thing he might have a chance of refining is the Ice Soul Pill.

That's why Jiang Yuchuan disguised himself and entered the Linghu family under the pretext of treating illness. His purpose was to ask the Linghu family where ice-attribute herbs or other things with extremely cold auras grew in the Dali region.

Right now, there happens to be a blooming Ice Heart Lotus in his Spirit Pearl, which Jiang Jihai found for him before.

He only needs to find one or two more of the same attributes, and he will be 70% confident that he can refine the Ice Soul Pill.

That was the original plan, but when Jiang Yuchuan carefully studied the cold and yin-attribute energy while treating the patient at the Linghu Chamber of Commerce, another plan suddenly came to mind.

This kind of cold and yin energy could not possibly have been generated by the Ye Shi mine itself. Combined with the accidental discovery during the previous exploration of the mine, Jiang Yuchuan could be 100% certain that this energy must have been created by humans.

It is precisely because of the appearance of this cold energy that meteorites, which rely on slowly absorbing the heat energy of underground magma to condense, have become active.

The clash between the two factors led to the miners' terrible misfortune.

If he can find the source of this cold, yin energy that can counteract the heat of magma, then he is 90% confident that he can go deep into the magma to find out what's going on!

The Ye Stone Mine was not far from Ye City. With their horses galloping, Linghu Ji and his party arrived at the foot of the mine in just an hour and a half.

When Linghu Ji and the others arrived, they learned that more than a hundred miners had inexplicably fainted in the past three days.

Upon hearing this terrifying number, Linghu Ji dared not linger for even a moment and immediately led Jiang Yuchuan to the place where the patients were being placed.

In order to cure these people as soon as possible, Jiang Yuchuan asked Linghu Yao to find more than a dozen old doctors with superb medical skills and expertise in acupuncture. He then taught them the acupuncture technique and they worked together to treat more than a hundred people.

Upon hearing Jiang Yuchuan's idea, Linghu Ji readily agreed and immediately ordered Hu Yao to carry it out.

Because of the Linghu family's status, Linghu Yao could be said to have recruited sixteen physicians who met Jiang Yuchuan's requirements without any effort, in just over half a day.

The youngest of these doctors was over forty. They were all seasoned veterans who had been immersed in the medical field for decades, so Jiang Yuchuan taught them very easily. After only two or three demonstrations, the doctors had mastered the techniques and could perform them independently.

Of course, this acupuncture technique alone cannot absorb the two energies in the patient's body; the key lies in the spiritual power that Jiang Yuchuan attached to the silver needles.

However, this was obviously not a problem. Before the sixteen doctors even made a move, Jiang Yuchuan had already taken this step, evenly channeling his spiritual power into each silver needle in advance. As long as they made a move, he would then activate his spiritual power, and the two energies in the patients' bodies would naturally be continuously absorbed by the silver needles, and then accumulated and gathered by himself.

That night, just as Jiang Yuchuan and several other doctors were administering acupuncture to a patient, they suddenly sensed a sneaky figure approaching them.

"I haven't even gone to find you yet, and you dare to come to my door."

Jiang Yuchuan immediately stopped what he was doing, stretched his arms, and slowly walked out the door.

The figure was currently hiding behind a large tree nearby.

Upon seeing Jiang Yuchuan emerge from the house, a cold glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he quietly drew the dagger tucked into his waistband.

He had already silently dealt with the guards the Linghu family had placed nearby. His current task was to eliminate Jiang Yuchuan, along with all the physicians inside!

But just as he was about to rush out to kill Jiang Yuchuan, he discovered that the boy who had been standing calmly in the courtyard gazing at the moon had vanished without a trace.

"Are you looking for me?"

A soft voice came from behind him, startling him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

After regaining his senses, the man's eyes hardened again. He suddenly turned around and thrust out the dagger in his hand.

The next moment, something that puzzled him reappeared.

There was nothing behind him; the sound that had just reached his ears seemed like an illusion.

Just then, the man suddenly felt something slowly falling on his head.

By the time he realized it was a hand, he was completely unable to move.

He could neither speak nor move.

An overwhelming sense of fear suddenly welled up within me.

After a long while, Jiang Yuchuan withdrew his palm, and his transparent figure emerged from the tree trunk.

"The Bai family...Iceberg Cold Spring..."

After obtaining the information he wanted through soul searching, Jiang Yuchuan was in high spirits and carried the already dead assassin's body back to the courtyard.

This assassin was a spy planted in the Linghu family by the Bai family, one of the four great families.

If his sudden appearance hadn't disrupted the Bai family's meticulously planned scheme to overthrow the Linghu family, this person wouldn't have taken the risk of showing up to assassinate him at this crucial moment.

The next morning, when Linghu Ji arrived and learned that someone had tried to assassinate Jiang Yuchuan and the others the night before, he was furious.

At the same time, I felt extremely fortunate.

In Linghu Ji's view, it was fortunate that Jiang Yuchuan was strong enough to successfully kill the assassin and prevent him from succeeding.

Subsequently, Linghu Ji immediately dispatched three times the manpower to protect Jiang Yuchuan and the doctors treating the patient.

Linghu Ji knew nothing about the assassin's identity.

After some investigation, all that was known was that the other party was an ordinary miner who had joined the Linghu family several years ago and devoted himself to the mining of Ye Stone.

Jiang Yuchuan didn't say anything more and revealed the information he had obtained from the soul search.

As a loyal bodyguard trained by the Bai family, this person would obviously never betray the Bai family.

Furthermore, given his current disguised identity, it's absolutely impossible for him to know these things. If he were to reveal the truth himself, it would definitely arouse Linghu Ji's suspicion.

Jiang Yuchuan didn't want to cause himself any trouble, so he decided it was best to let the Linghu family investigate on their own and not interfere further.

It took another three and a half days for Jiang Yuchuan and the sixteen doctors to finally cure all the miners.

To express their gratitude for Jiang Yuchuan's help, the Linghu family offered a very generous reward, including an astonishing amount of silver notes, many precious medicinal herbs, and even several pieces of high-quality Ye stone.

Fearing that it would be inconvenient for Jiang Yuchuan to carry so much stuff alone, the Linghu family specially prepared a low-key yet luxurious carriage and a nimble coachman for him.

Jiang Yuchuan did not refuse the Linghu family's kindness. With the middle-aged members of the Linghu family seeing him off, he boarded a carriage and headed out of Ye City.

Not long after leaving Ye City, Jiang Yuchuan had the servant who was driving the carriage stop.

"Uu——"

After stopping the horse, the servant looked at Jiang Yuchuan with a fawning expression, "What are your orders, young master?"

Jiang Yuchuan took out a silver note and handed it to the servant: "This is enough. Take this silver note and leave. I can walk the rest of the way myself."

The servant glanced at the denomination on the silver note, then shook his head and waved his hands in alarm, saying in a panic, "Young master, you want me to leave? But what did I do wrong? If I've done anything wrong, please tell me. Whether you hit me or scold me, I won't complain at all. I just beg you, please don't send me away!"

Jiang Yuchuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong. I'm not trying to get rid of you, but the place I'm going to is really dangerous. You don't know any martial arts, and you'll only be courting death if you stay with me. You're so young, you must still have relatives at home. You might as well take the silver notes I'm giving you and leave now, and go back to live a good life."

"But--"

Jiang Yuchuan's words clearly struck a nerve with the servant. But when he thought of Linghu Ji's instructions, he couldn't help but tremble, unable to make a decision for a moment.

"Don't worry." Jiang Yuchuan had already guessed the other party's thoughts. "Take this." As he spoke, Jiang Yuchuan took out another note and placed it on the silver note, handing it over together. "If Patriarch Linghu questions you, give this note to Patriarch Linghu, and he won't say anything more."

With Jiang Yuchuan's assurance, the servant finally felt relieved. His hands trembling, he accepted the note and the silver note together, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

After thanking him repeatedly, the servant, moved to tears, jumped off the carriage and returned to the city along the same route.

As the servant walked back, he recalled Jiang Yuchuan's words, his heart growing warmer, and he murmured to himself:

"How can I thank you enough with just words? I must kowtow several times to repay your kindness!"

Upon realizing this, the servant immediately stopped and prepared to turn around, kneel down, and kowtow several times to the carriage.

But when he turned around, he found that the straight official road behind him was completely empty, with no trace of the carriage or Jiang Yuchuan.
