Jiang Li raised his hand and a stream of pure wood-attributed spiritual energy passed over to protect the other party's heart meridian first.
Then he stuffed a healing pill into the female cultivator's mouth, untied the rope on her wrist, and let her go.
The body of this female cultivator was very light, so light that it was frightening, because almost all the flesh on her body had been cut off, and most of the organs in her abdominal cavity had been lost. What was left was basically just a skeleton.
The female cultivator’s current situation is very bad.
She had been using Qianhe Tower's special secret method, and even though her body was ruined like this, she was still barely able to retain a glimmer of life.
But in order to ask Jiang Li for help, she had to withdraw from the state of secret technique. This body, which was already riddled with holes, could take her life at any time.
When Jiang Li was transferring spiritual energy to her, he discovered a solid pill that was on the verge of collapse.
Such exaggerated damage to the foundation of Taoism would take Jiang Li a long time to recover even if it happened to him.
If an ordinary person encountered such a serious injury, he would have died several times already.
Jiang Li also thought that the other party must have just had a last burst of energy, and would pass away sadly after leaving a few last words.
But he still underestimated the heroes of the world.
The exercises of Qianhe Tower are peaceful and can prolong life, and are very effective in warming and stabilizing injuries.
With the help of Jiang Li's spiritual energy and elixirs, this female cultivator actually managed to hold on to her breath and survived.
However, due to his serious physical condition, he could only use that tiny voice to ask Jiang Li for help once, which was his limit. After being rescued, he fainted as soon as he was relieved.
. . . .
Two days later, Jiang Li was sitting cross-legged on the head of the wooden dragon Likongzuo, floating along the bank of a black river.
It is easy to get into this Ghost King Wasteland but difficult to get out.
When they came in, most of the ghost kings were attracted by the Nine Yang Boy and the Nine Yin Girl, resulting in there being very few powerful ghosts in this area.
He flew in openly and did not encounter much hindrance.
But when he was about to go out, the entire Ghost King Wasteland was already guarded by layers of sentries, and countless ghosts were patrolling like a dragnet.
If he were really discovered by them, Jiang Li might have the chance to experience what it feels like to have the whole world as his enemy.
In this situation, even if you move a little, the whole body will be affected. Let alone flying, even running a little faster may alert the ghost.
So he had to travel carefully on the ground with Rayquaza.
Fortunately, he was practicing the Nine Netherworld Taoist Scriptures, and 60% of the wood on the Wooden Dragon Sky-Splitting Throne was made of wood, which had already been replaced with Nine Netherworld wood.
As spiritual roots of heaven and earth who were born and raised in the underworld, as long as they emit some yin energy and do some disguise, they will look almost more ghostly than real ghosts.
Some lower-level ghost soldiers would bow and give way when they saw them from afar.
"You're awake."
Behind Jiang Li, there was a wooden coffin.
That was certainly not a burial coffin, but a constant temperature nutrition cabin for cultivation that he made with magic words to help the female cultivator from Qianhe Tower recover from her injuries.
Jiang Li filled a coffin with soft moss that could generate heat automatically, and then controlled the plants to secrete some pain-relieving nutrient solution that could paralyze the terminal nerves.
Lying in this coffin will be more comfortable than the fetus staying in the amniotic fluid.
And because of the secretions that paralyze the terminal nerves, even if you have just rolled through a mountain of knives or been thrown into a wok of oil, and there is not a single piece of good skin or flesh on your body, you will not feel any pain.
Of course, these were all Jiang Li’s creations, and he was aware of any slight changes in them.
When the coffin lid was pushed open, the female cultivator inside had indeed woken up.
Although his face was still pale like a living person, his condition was obviously much better than before, and flesh had begun to grow on many parts of his body.
"Thank you for saving me."
The female cultivator woke up from her coma, and was dazed for a long time. The long torture made her still unable to believe that she had been saved.
Not until he saw Jiang Li did he come to his senses from his despair and confusion, and shed a tear with difficulty.
All the energy in her body was now being used to grow muscles, so it was really difficult to spare even a little energy to shed tears.
After thanking Jiang Li, the female cultivator seemed to remember something and began trying hard to lift her body.
Like most people rescued from a disaster, she was eager to confirm her physical condition.
The loss of some organs is more serious than death for men, while some organs are equally important for women.
The female cultivator used several newly grown tendons in her body to barely raise her head.
Then she saw a clean-shaven skeleton, and the scene almost made her faint again.
It seems that when her flesh was being cut, she had already fallen into a state of suspended animation and did not see what the ghosts did to her body.
Or maybe she actually knew, but just wasn't willing to accept the truth.
"Don't get excited, girl. We are all monks. We can grow back broken limbs. It's just some flesh and blood. There's always a way to fix it."
"Also, what's your name? Which sect are you from? After we leave the Ghost King Wasteland, I will take you to a nearby immortal cultivation city. You can contact your teachers and friends and ask them to pick you up."
Jiang Li did not reveal that he knew she was a disciple of Qianhe Tower, let alone do something stupid like returning the storage bag to her.
If he is really so honest, this lifesaver might end up being a nobody.
"My name is... My name is Yang Ruozhi. I am just a casual cultivator. I don't have a teacher... I don't have any friends."
When she heard the words "teacher and friend", the female cultivator's face immediately became even uglier.
Jiang Li was very surprised that she did not even admit that she was a disciple of Qianhe Tower. Even the name she gave to Jiang Li was most likely fake.
"Yang Ruozhi..."
When Jiang Li heard the name, he had no idea what was going on in his mind. He nodded calmly without exposing the other person.
Before this, this female cultivator was hung on the city wall like bacon for ten whole days without any fellow cultivators coming to rescue her.
Jiang Li once had two guesses: the people in Qianhe Tower did not know that she was arrested, or the people in Qianhe Tower simply gave up on her in order not to affect the plan.
Judging from the opponent's current performance, the latter possibility is obviously higher.
After placing a bottle of flesh-growing and healing elixir into the coffin, he closed the lid and continued on his way.
Jiang Li always took pills only once. He didn't have many pills left, but there were quite a few types. He picked out a few suitable ones and gave them to this "Yang Ruozhi".
A few days later, Rayquaza floated downstream along the black river polluted by the Ghost King's Wasteland and finally escaped from the place shrouded in death.
Although it was not difficult to see that the other person was still skin and bones under the loose clothes, it seemed that his life was saved.
If I drink more papaya milk in the future, maybe I can gain some weight back.
"Your kindness is great, Ruozhi has no way to repay you, I can only... May I ask your name, Ruozhi will repay you in the future."
Jiang Li has become more and more charming since he established his foundation. Coupled with the various high-level powers in his body, he is always shrouded in a mysterious aura.
For female cultivators, his allure is even enough to be ranked on the list of male Luoshen.
In despair, he gave "Yang Ruozhi" hope for a new life. It is no exaggeration to say that he was giving her a new life.
But Yang Ruozhi currently has nothing and has nothing with which to repay Jiang Li.
Logically speaking, Jiang Li should be worthy of the phrase "commitment of body" at this time.
But Yang Ruozhi, who originally wanted to go up and sit next to Jiang Li, just as she approached Jiang Li, she remembered her horrible body.

If I pledge my love to you with a body like this, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with evil?
He immediately took two steps back with a bitter expression, and sat two steps away from me and sat at the back.
"Miss Yang, you're welcome. You can just call me Jiang Li."
"When we monks go out, we should lend a helping hand when we see injustice, right?"
Jiang Li waved his hands. He had no purpose in keeping the other party. He was just a fellow human being and couldn't bear to see his compatriots being treated like this.
Sitting on the wooden dragon's back, they chatted with each other for a while.
But every time they talked about each other's past, "Yang Ruozhi" would fall silent.
We swam downstream for a while. Perhaps because it was getting dark, the fog on the river surface became thicker and thicker. Soon we could not see clearly what was within two meters in front of us.
At this moment, the wooden dragon Split Sky Seat under him suddenly twisted uncomfortably.
Then the dragon blood in Jiang Li's body began to become inexplicably restless.
This feeling is not common, it only happened when he was still a newbie in Qi Refining.
He had only experienced this kind of restlessness when his master, Elder He, showed him the dragon's blood.
This is the induction that occurs spontaneously when fellow dragon blood carriers get within a certain range.
Sure enough, the water ahead was stirred violently, and a strong fishy smell came through the mist.
Rayquaza spontaneously raised his upper body high in the water, bared his teeth and let out a low roar towards a certain existence in the thick fog.
A moment later, in the thick fog, a huge creature that was no smaller than the wooden dragon stirred the water and swam towards this side.
As the distance got closer, the dark shadow in the fog became clearer.
A head that was at least 80% similar to the wood dragon Rayquaza, except it had no horns on it, poked out from the mist.
It turned out to be a dragon beast.
Ang! Roar! As the two sides approached, they suddenly burst into a long roar that tore the eardrums! The surrounding fog was instantly torn apart by these two long roars, and the moonlight sprinkled down, clearing the haziness on the river surface.
Jiang Li then saw that the dragon beast was covered with a thick chain, which extended backwards to connect to a huge warship with dragon pattern.
Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but frown. What kind of power could use the precious dragon beast to pull the boat? Then the flag flying on the warship revealed the other party's identity.
It was a black flag with a dragon head transformed into a skull in the center and two crossed swords behind it.
"It's a cultivator from Hualong Island, benefactor, be careful!"
Yang Ruozhi reminded him from behind, with a solemn tone in her voice.
After Jiang Li's wooden dragon Likongzuo absorbed the blood and flesh of the black dragon, it looked like a dragon in both form and spirit. Yang Ruozhi also thought he was from Hualong Island at first.
After Jiang Li denied it, the other party showed a relieved expression on his face.
It can be seen that although they are allies of the Sishen Temple, the relationship between Qianhe Tower and Hualong Island is not very good, and the reputation of the cultivators of Hualong Island has always been bad.
"Yo-ho-ho, look what I found?"
"A throwback dragon!"
"Little guy, don't move, or it will accidentally shoot you in the head!"
The cultivator who stuck his head out from above, when he saw the roaring Likongzuo, his eyes lit up. He simply ignored Jiang Li who was standing on the dragon's head, and controlled a giant whale-hunting crossbow, firing directly at the wooden dragon below.
Jiang Li had seen the whale beast that had floated into the Mechanical City before. Its huge size was no different from a mountain.
It is easy to imagine how huge the giant crossbow used for hunting whales is.
Buzz! A sound similar to that produced by a thousand crossbows firing simultaneously rang out overhead, and the surrounding water surface was shaken by the vibration, with the jumping water droplets jumping up to two meters high.
The next moment, a black steel pillar with a terrifying barb shot towards Rayquaza below.
With this speed and size, if the Wood Dragon Rayquaza was hit, it would be cut in half. Did the opponent really want to capture it instead of killing it directly?
Yang Ruozhi pulled Jiang Li and was about to abandon the dragon and escape with him, but with his strength, how could he possibly shake Jiang Li.
However, he did not take any action.
The current Rayquaza is no longer what it used to be.
The entire wooden dragon's body quickly lit up with a green and red light, and a mouth condensed from the tail end.
Then a column of green and red energy gushed out from the wooden dragon's mouth.
Due to the issue of compatibility, after absorbing the flesh and blood of the Rakshasa Black Dragon, the Wood Dragon's rank was raised even higher than that of the sword cultivator's clone. It directly condensed a core demon pill and reached a level comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.
With the help of the sword cultivator's clone's previous experience, it successfully mastered the power of the blood of madness.
The power of chaos and the nine ghost spirits flowed along the array patterns on the body of the Splitting Seat, constantly colliding and accelerating to gather in the mouth, and finally exploded with a power far beyond its original level.
The power of Rayquaza's breath is originally equivalent to the bow gun of a flying boat, and even with modifications it cannot be ignored.
Now that the Wood Dragon has advanced, it has gained the collision acceleration ability of the power of chaos and the Nine Ghost Qi. The power of this breath has increased exponentially.
Even if Jiang Li attacked with all his strength, he couldn't say he could surpass Rayquaza.
The blue and red breath swirled out and collided with the huge harpoon, destroying it from bottom to top, and then shot through the bow of the dragon-patterned warship with the remaining force! (End of this chapter)
