Chapter 257 The Soul Lamp Extinguished

Ji An cast the Rejuvenation spell again, and the wounds on the injured man's face quickly scabbed over and healed.

"You can stand up now. After a few days of rest, you'll be full of energy again."

If the opponent has lost too much blood, the Rejuvenation Technique can heal the injury, but it cannot generate blood and qi out of thin air.

The cultivator slowly rose to his feet, cupped his hands, and said:

"Thank you, senior brother. I tried to heal the wound with my own magic, but it barely improved."

Without elixirs, one can only rely on physical endurance.

Although cultivators have much stronger vitality than ordinary people, they do not possess the terrifying self-healing ability.

For body-refining cultivators, it's much better; not only is their physical defense stronger, but their self-healing ability is also stronger.

Ji An nodded slightly and walked towards another wounded soldier.

The monk dressed in the robes of the Enforcement Hall was lucky; his lower leg had been severed by a sharp object, but the cut was smooth, which he judged to be caused by a spell such as a wind blade.

The wound was coated with black ointment, but only half of it was applied, so there probably wasn't enough ointment left.

"Senior brother, I am doing my best to maintain the wound to ensure that the severed limb has a blood supply."

The wounded man spoke with difficulty, his lips were pale, his face was pale, and there were a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

Ji An nodded slightly and extended his divine sense to sense the condition of the wounded.

"Not bad, the severed limb retains sufficient vitality and there is no necrosis."

As he spoke, he released his magic to soothe the severed limb and the wound on his leg, and blackened blood foam seeped out from the two cut surfaces.

"Hehe."

The wounded soldier let out a low, mournful scream, his whole body trembling slightly.

However, he was quite resolute and immediately gritted his teeth.

A moment later, Ji An noticed that the blood had returned to its normal crimson color, and then the hand seals in his hands changed.

The Dharma intent of all things sprouting bloomed at his fingertips, each of his fingers seemed to turn into emerald jade, drawing mysterious trajectories in the air, with faint spiritual light scattering in the air.

The Rejuvenation Technique was cast, and a vibrant green light enveloped the wound, slowly seeping into it.

In a previous life, this type of injury would have been very troublesome to treat, as reconnecting blood vessels would have been a major problem.

However, in this world, when a spell is cast, a mysterious power will complete the task on its behalf.

The wounded soldier felt a tingling and itchy sensation in his wound, which invigorated his previously listless and dejected spirit.

The spell is effective, and very effective!

Ji An cast two spells in succession, and the wound stopped bleeding, leaving only a scab.

He extended his divine sense to examine it, and whispered:

"The wound is starting to heal, but you can't engage in strenuous activity."

"See me twice a day, morning and evening, for the next few days, and you should recover quickly."

"Senior brother, your skills are superb. I am Chu Feiyun. I will obey your every command in the future."

He himself also knows the Rejuvenation Technique, but due to the limitations of his cultivation method and spell level, the effect is minimal.

"My junior brother is fighting on the front lines. I only did a little bit of work. I need to rest for a few days."

Ji An gave a brief instruction and continued treating the next wounded soldier.

Some cultivators were not seriously injured and were quickly cured, while others were not so lucky.

Injuries such as brain damage and charred internal organs are beyond the scope of the Rejuvenation Technique.

The vibrant energy of growth intertwines with the sense of impending death, blurring the line between life and death.

Sheng Liyue straightened up and let out a weary sigh. Yet another fellow disciple had passed away before her eyes.

Now that her magical power is exhausted, she urgently needs to meditate and regulate her breathing.

Looking around, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised, "Huh?"

The courtyard, which was always overcrowded, now has large gaps.

She hurriedly asked the nearby monks who were providing treatment:

"Junior Sister Meng, what happened? Were many disciples already on their deathbeds when they were brought back?"

If the battle is extremely intense, cultivators will be injured very quickly.

If the delivery is not timely, the optimal treatment time will have been missed by the time the item arrives here.

At this point, a difficult choice must be made: some cultivators are beyond saving, is there still a need to treat them?

Meng Wanqiu shook her head slightly, pointed to a spot not far away, and a hint of joy appeared on her lips:

"Senior sister, that senior brother's rejuvenation technique is particularly effective, and he can heal the wounded very quickly."

One person can have the effect of several people.

"Even better than your spells?"

Sheng Liyue was slightly surprised. She knew that Junior Sister Meng's Green Wood Everlasting Spring Technique had reached the perfect level in terms of its Rejuvenation Technique.

"It should be."

"Could it be that his rejuvenation technique has been practiced to its ultimate form?"

Only this possibility can explain why the other party's spell effect is stronger than that of Junior Sister Meng.

"It shouldn't be yet. I stayed by his side for a while, and although the Dharma intent he displayed was stronger than mine, there was no qualitative difference."

Meng Wanqiu replied that she had pondered the reasons and believed that it was due to the difference in their understanding of the divine intent of the cultivation method.

"Senior sister, may I ask this senior brother's name?"

She was very curious, as she had never noticed such a person before.

"Uh, I forgot, I'll go ask."

"Junior sister, please look after things here for now. My magical power is exhausted, and I need to meditate to recover."

"knew."

Sheng Liyue moved gracefully towards the busy figure. After the other person finished casting the spell, she coughed and cupped her hands in greeting:

"My younger sister, Sheng Liyue, is from the Feixia Mountain lineage. I have never asked my senior brother to cultivate at that place."

Ji An glanced at the female cultivator who had brought him here, and returned the greeting with a smile:

"My name is Ji An, and I am a disciple of the Ningcui Cliff lineage. My training ground is on Chiyan Peak."

Feixia Mountain is the training ground for cultivators in the Chaoyuan stage of the sect. Most of its disciples are skilled in alchemy, which is similar to the situation at Ningcui Cliff.

"So it's Senior Brother Ji in person! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Sheng Liyue gave a strange look, then quickly composed herself and said:

"Senior brother is very talented. With your help, everyone is much more relaxed. Please take a rest to recover your magic power."

After saying that, she bowed slightly, turned and left.

She had heard of the name 'Ji An' before. She had talked with her junior brothers and sisters before the demon calamity broke out and had heard the name of the stone turtle cultivator from Crimson Flame Peak many times.

The other party is a spiritual farmer who cultivates wood-elemental techniques.

Ji An caught a fleeting glimpse of the strange smile on the female cultivator's face. He turned his head to look at her graceful back and scratched his head.

On this day, Ji An finished his cultivation and came to the courtyard.

Two months have passed since I arrived at Mingfeng Mountain, and I've spent every day busy.

Once the war began, from the moment the first wounded soldier was brought down, it was impossible to stop.

As he repeatedly cast the Rejuvenation Technique, he gained even more insights based on the recovery progress of the wounded.

The healing of flesh and blood is also a process of growth, and the growth and germination energy contained in the wood element greatly accelerates the recovery speed of the wound.

In fact, if there were elixirs to help replenish the cultivators' depleted vital energy at this time, those cultivators who were saved could immediately return to the front line.

Unfortunately, these kinds of pills were used up early, so he could only consume blood-nourishing ginseng and other spiritual herbs that were not old enough to replenish his vital energy.

Because of a deeper understanding of magic, my comprehension of the divine intent of the techniques has also improved slightly.

Good morning, Senior Brother Ji!

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ji!"

His fellow disciples greeted him one by one, and Ji An responded with a smile. His magical healing effects were the best among them, greatly relieving the pressure on others.

The sun had not yet risen, and Ji An leaned against the wall, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

He focused his mind on his dantian to check on the progress of his magic.

[Spell: Rejuvenation (Perfect 89%)]

Detoxification Technique (Perfect 32%)

The Rejuvenation Technique has improved by leaps and bounds, increasing by more than forty points in this period, and the Detoxification Technique has also increased by more than ten points.

This would have been unimaginable in the past, as the Rejuvenation Technique is a Foundation Establishment stage spell.

He believed this was the result of the cultivation technique reaching a certain level and the combined effect of the inferior Dao seed, plus the fact that all his magical power was used to cast spells.

Unlike other cultivators who encounter bottlenecks, he always makes progress as long as he practices his spells diligently, with his own comprehension playing a key role.

Ji An noticed a cultivator approaching. A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils. He opened his eyes and heard gentle voices in his ears.

"You've been working hard these past few days, senior brother."

The attacks by the demonic beasts have eased somewhat in recent days, and the number of injured cultivators has significantly decreased, indicating that the war has likely entered a stalemate.

Sheng Liyue sighed softly to herself; this most difficult period was about to be over.

The Azure Mist Secret Realm is about to open, and the strongest cultivators in combat among the various sects and independent cultivators will soon return.

The addition of several hundred late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators will greatly alleviate the pressure on the front lines.

"I hope so."

Ji An's view was not optimistic. In the half month since he arrived, he had witnessed several battles between Golden Core stage cultivators, with dozens of Chao Yuan stage demonic beasts participating in the attacks every day.

Recently, everything has become quiet, and he believes that the monsters are brewing an even bigger attack.

According to intelligence, most of the Mingfeng Mountain defense line has been destroyed, and several groups of demonic beasts are less than three thousand miles away from the Jinling Sect's mountain gate.

If the monks remain in a defensive position, their backyard will catch fire.

As the sun rises, its light and warmth spread throughout the world.

Mingfeng Mountain was bathed in golden light, as were the demonic beasts surrounding the immortal city.

"Awoo!"

A tiger's roar shook the entire world, and the stench of blood and the chilling atmosphere spread with the sound.

A new battle has begun.

Golden Spirit Sect, Lingxiao Mountain, Soul Palace.

Three rows of bronze oil lamps were placed separately; those were the soul lamps of the disciples who entered the Azure Mist Secret Realm.

The connection between the energy flow of the small world and the cultivation world is extremely difficult, so the flames are extremely weak.

Ye Changqing stared at the soul lamps with a gloomy expression; about 35% of the soul lamps had gone out.

After years of development, the various sects have already explored most of the Canglan Secret Realm, and there is a very mature 'Secret Realm Exploration Manual'.

Therefore, when the secret realm opens, they will confidently send out their most elite cultivators.

There are casualties, but over the past thousand years, the casualty rate has been at most 15%, and most of the time it has been below 10%, which is perfectly acceptable.

However, something went wrong during the opening of this secret realm, resulting in such heavy casualties.

The secret realm will reopen tomorrow, so please be careful to avoid any more casualties!

Just as Ye Changqing was racking his brains trying to figure out where the problem was, another soul lamp exploded and went out.

As if it were a signal, one after another, the soul lamps went out.

In just a few breaths, the dozen or so bronze lamps lost their light.
