Chapter 141: Decide to Take the Marrow Cleansing Pill

The opening of the mysterious door always left Lin Meng feeling uneasy; she planned to guard this door for the next few days.

As soon as the countdown ended, she would go in to explore, hoping to work out a pattern.

Lin Meng did not go out; the next day, Dong Jiaxu came to visit but was turned away at the door, and Lin Meng completely ignored him.

Dong Jiaxu refused to give up; failing to add her as a friend the night before left him anxious and uneasy, unable to sleep all night.

Moreover, after the blessing ceremony, Lin Meng had come into the sight of all the major aristocratic families, had also been approached by the White Taoist Master, and was now on close terms with Ye Chenjing.

With all these buffs, Lin Meng's name became a hot topic in the circle overnight.

Even his parents and elders came to ask how he knew Lin Meng, inquiring about her background.

Dong Jiaxu had already boasted before his elders that he would surely improve his relationship with Lin Meng, telling them to wait for good news.

Actually, the Dong family didn't intend for their sole heir Dong Jiaxu to chase after and flatter Lin Meng to improve relations; they merely noticed that this kid seemed to know Lin Meng and wanted to ask him for some information.

Who would have thought Dong Jiaxu would assume the family wanted him to directly contact and befriend Lin Meng—this just happened to suit his wishes?

But Lin Meng had no intention of wasting time on unrelated people, so she refused Dong Jiaxu's visit.

Outside the gate, Dong Jiaxu leaned against his luxury car, pondering whether he should climb over the wall.

Just then, Ye Chenjing appeared fifty meters away.

Xiao Chen opened the car door, saw a car parked at Lin Meng's gate, and Dong Jiaxu struck a pose by the car door in a flashy manner, leaving Xiao Chen speechless:

"General Manager, look, how did the Dong family's three-generation sole heir end up here?"

Don't look at Xiao Chen usually just handling Ye Chenjing's daily life, but he pays close attention to any surrounding gossip.

The information came from Sun Yao last night; today he saw Dong Jiaxu, who had been clinging to Lin Meng the previous evening, and naturally grew wary.

Ye Chenjing furrowed his brows at the words, a flash of sharpness crossing his eyes, and said:

"Go drive him away, just say Lin Meng has gone out."

Early this morning, Ye Chenjing couldn't help but greet Lin Meng with a good morning on the chat app.

He had never had this habit before, but today for some reason he wanted to interact with Lin Meng before heading out.

But Lin Meng told him she was going to disappear for a few days.

Lin Meng replied to him:

"General Manager, I want to stay by myself for a few days, not be disturbed by anyone; these days you should first not contact me, and also please tell Sun Yao that I don't need him on standby these days—let him return to normal work at the company."

After saying that, Lin Meng disappeared.

Ye Chenjing thought, if even he couldn't see Lin Meng's face, then the Dong family's youngster certainly had no standing.

Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward and politely said to Dong Jiaxu:

"Young Master Dong, Miss Lin has gone out and is not at home; please leave quickly."

Dong Jiaxu blinked, looked up at the villa, and saw that the curtains of all the floor-to-ceiling windows were drawn tight, indeed appearing as if no one was home.

He glanced at Xiao Chen, then looked toward Ye Chenjing's direction, suddenly having an idea, and tentatively asked:

"I don't know if General Manager Ye has time? If it's convenient, I would like to..."

"It's not convenient; General Manager Ye's schedule is fully booked today." Xiao Chen directly refused, then turned and left immediately.

Dong Jiaxu blinked, scratched his head, and muttered.

"Are Ye Chenjing's secretaries all this arrogant? I haven't even said anything yet, and they just turned me down."

No wonder it's someone cultivated by the Ye Group; even as a lowly secretary, after long contact with a big shot like Ye Chenjing, one inevitably picks up some of his unique aura and work style.

Forget it, he has plenty of time.

Lin Meng is a very individualistic girl; if he clung too persistently, it would only provoke aversion.

Since she's not home, he'll just come back in a few days.

After Dong Jiaxu left, Ye Chenjing finally felt at ease taking up his role as president of the Ye Group.

Meanwhile, Lin Meng remained in the training room; to avoid missing the timing, she deliberately set a timer matching the countdown on the door.

Tonight, she would go explore again.

Time passed in a blink; after cultivating for most of the day, her internal spiritual energy grew ever richer, yet still showed no sign of breakthrough.

As the countdown ended, Lin Meng took her equipment and entered the door of the third space once more.

As expected, the moment her whole body stepped fully into the blood mist, the door behind her vanished.

This time, Lin Meng specially wore a timer watch on her wrist.

It started timing the moment she stepped into it.

But this time, Lin Meng did not walk another half step around; she simply stood in place, going nowhere.

For now, the initial position seems relatively safe; all she needs to do is wait.

During this period, she took out her phone to check; not only was the signal blocked, but the phone's functions seemed affected, as if it had crashed.

Lin Meng recorded this, then she took out various prepared props and tested them one by one.

The strong light could not penetrate the blood mist.

She fired a marble; with her current hearing, after the marble rolled out for one second she could no longer capture its sound.

This shows the blood mist can easily swallow sound as well.

Relying on sound to warn of approaching danger is ineffective.

Afterward, Lin Meng took out an air-test strip, finally getting some good news.

Although the blood mist is foul-smelling, fortunately it is non-toxic.

Soon, the three minutes were almost up.

At the very last second, a familiar pulling sensation arose, and Lin Meng was flung out of the blood mist space.

Over three consecutive days, Lin Meng finally managed to confirm its pattern.

Each time this door opens, after entering and staying for three minutes one is ejected; to re-enter, one must wait 24 hours.

And within this blood mist, there are all kinds of restrictions; it not only devours light sources and sound, but can also shield her mental power as a cultivator.

After understanding these points, Lin Meng does not intend to keep trying.

Three minutes is nowhere near enough for her to explore anything; even if she could find some clues, there's nothing she can do right now.

She only needs to ensure that when the door opens, no dangerous thing will rush in from inside into her third space; then she will be safe.

And the fact shows that this door seems to be passable only by her.

After confirming temporary safety, Lin Meng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, yet she dared not relax too much.

Taking advantage of this time staying home behind closed doors, she intends to do the tendon cleansing and marrow washing she had never dared to do before.

This Marrow Washing Pill will have to be taken sooner or later; sticking out one's head or pulling it back is the same cut.

Coincidentally, with the mysterious door crisis now arising, taking the Marrow Washing Pill has become urgent.

That night, Lin Meng did not hesitate and firmly swallowed the Marrow Washing Pill.

The pill tasted slightly bitter and astringent upon entry.

Before the taste could fade, Lin Meng suddenly felt a piercing pain burst from within outward, causing her to roll all over the ground in agony.

Pain, pain, pain! I'm about to die from pain!

Lin Meng originally feared pain; the last time her father gave her the space jade bracelet for the first time, she almost fainted from the burning sensation on her wrist.

And the process of tendon cleansing and marrow washing is simply thousands of times more painful than before; in the human pain scale, this marrow-washing pain is absolutely far ahead!
