In an instant, spiritual energy surged, and brilliant light radiated, causing the entire valley to tremble. Gu Chen took the opportunity to draw closer, but was blocked by the flying sand and stones whipped up by the giant python's tail.
"Bai Ning, come here!" Gu Chen reached out to me.
Seeing my expressionless face, he softened his tone. "It's good that you arrived in time; you seem to be alright."
Perhaps it was the high temperatures from Lava a few days ago that had burned my eyes; Gu Chen had never looked as unattractive as he did now.
Leaving aside how I ended up in Lan Xu's hands, I replied coldly, "I'm fine not because you came in time."
He choked momentarily but didn’t show any embarrassment from being called out. Instead, he threatened, "You are already promised to Wu Yuan Sect. If you don’t want to go back, that’s fine; your brother is also a Supreme Water Spiritual Root, isn’t he?"
His words sent a chill through me. A Qing! I didn’t want to return, but I couldn’t put A Qing in danger.
Just as I hesitated, the battle between Lan Xu and the old man intensified. As an elder of Wu Yuan Sect, the old man was powerful, and Lan Xu was gradually falling behind. I felt anxious but powerless.
From our interactions over the past few days, it was clear that Lan Xu was not a monstrous beast that devoured people. If this continued, none of us would escape unharmed.
Seeing him struggle more and more, I steeled my resolve and shouted, "Stop right there! I'll go back with you!"
Lan Xu glanced at me in surprise at my words. At that moment, the old man seized the opportunity and struck Lan Xu squarely in the chest with his palm.
Lan Xu let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The giant python beneath us turned its head and lunged at Lan Xu. I lost my balance and was caught by Gu Chen, who swiftly bound me with a Spirit Binding Lock.
"Bai Ning, don't be ungrateful! Come with me obediently."
"Ha."
At that moment, the giant python let out a deafening roar and charged towards the two fighters. The old man was caught off guard and was knocked away by the python's force. Seizing the opportunity, the python snatched up the severely injured Lan Xu and swiftly vanished into the depths of the forest.
Watching Lan Xu being taken away by the giant python, I let out a soft sigh and resignedly closed my eyes.
I was locked up again, just like before. However, this time, no one came to deliver me any Revitalizing Pills. I silently sat in the corner, trying to summon the little spiritual energy I had left in hopes of recovering some strength. I had expected endless torment to await me, but things turned out differently.
Three days later, I was released. Wu Wang Zhen Ren, that white-haired old man who had injured Lan Xu, took a small bowl of my blood every day for three consecutive days before handing me over to his eldest disciple. My task shifted from waiting for death to consuming Spirit Ascension Pill and training.
The so-called Spirit Ascension Pill is a pill that forcibly expands a cultivator's meridians and Dantian. Generally, only those mediocre Outer Sect Disciples would take it for a better chance of survival when hunting demon beasts. This method can temporarily boost one's cultivation but damages the entire meridian system, ultimately affecting lifespan; it’s essentially trading life for spirit stones.
But since I didn’t need to hunt demon beasts, it seemed more like fattening a duck before roasting it. Yet I had no choice; I wanted to live. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, I had to seize it.
Taking too much of the pill felt like swallowing flames; my internal organs seemed to be burning away, and my meridians felt as if they were about to rupture. I gritted my teeth tightly, channeling the faint Water Spirit Power within me in an attempt to alleviate the excruciating pain and guide the medicinal energy throughout my limbs and bones.
I would not give up until the very last moment!
