"Senior Brother Li? What's wrong with you?" The cautious Gouwa was alarmed when he saw Li Huowang put the object into his mouth and start chewing.
This is bad. Senior Brother Li is having another episode.
Li Huowang, however, paid no attention to him, instead savoring the taste of the thin skin. The more he chewed, the more his face lit up with excitement. "There's no mistaking this taste. This is the skin of a Black Taisui! There's hope for my Huan Jue!"
Although the skin was completely desiccated, Li Huowang, having seen one before, knew that a Black Taisui dissolves into a puddle of water upon death, leaving only this skin behind. It had become this way purely due to dehydration after death.
As things stood, he had absolutely no leads. Finding a solution for Xinsu was just a pipe dream; the hope was incredibly slim. But the Black Taisui could help him block out his Huan Jue. Even if it was only temporary, that would be immensely useful!
