Xuan Shi left without making any response.
He neither said where his nephews and disciples were, nor responded to questions about himself.
Eryi returned to the treatment station and enlarged the words "Do not transfer to others for use" in the instructions next to the spiritual energy storage ball, and added explanations of various possible consequences at the end.
"If this happens again, don't panic. There's nothing wrong with our elixir." Er Yi reassured several employees.
"Most likely it's a problem caused by exchanging Soul-Replenishing Pills. Our Soul-Replenishing Pills are slightly different from ordinary Soul-Replenishing Pills." Although they are protected by the Healing Post System, the psychological pressure on Qi-Refining cultivators against high-level cultivators is indeed great. She must at least give them a direction.
However, Eryi didn't know that after this incident, the three employees were convinced by her.
After confirming that Eryi had left the reception hall, the three employees gathered together with their eyes wide open.
"What happened just now? You dismissed it with just a few words?" Lin Xinyi was obviously still a little out of shape.
"No," Jiang Wenxia said with a smile on his face. "Half of my nephew's golden elixir was shattered. How could it be dismissed with a few words? Our master's cultivation must be no less than that of the Third Elder."
Chai Cheng suddenly realized: "Why did the three elders seem to have escaped when they left?" Without saying a word, he flew into the air, leaving only a few Jindan cultivators who were unable to fly due to the no-fly order and were stuck in the spot.
"Wait, what is the cultivation level of the Third Elder of the Chiyu Palace?"
"Not restricted by the no-fly ban, so he must be at least a Nascent Soul."
"But that is the Chiyu Palace." No matter how rare Yuanying cultivators are, they are not worthy of the title of elder of the Chiyu Palace.
The three of them looked at each other and held their breath.
Xuan Shi did escape, and that's not shameful.
The Qingling Realm is so vast that even if a chosen one is rare, if you gather together, you can still find one every three to five years. Not to mention those with dual or triple spiritual roots.
But why are there so few high-ranking cultivators? It's because they're young and reckless, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and have lost their lives while playing, never achieving the great Dao.
Xuan Shi originally possessed a single wood spiritual root. A single spiritual root might sound powerful, but wood spiritual roots are relatively weak. Xuan Shi's ability to achieve Out-of-Body status through this mild spiritual root was largely due to his ability to hide in seclusion during his youth.
With only one spiritual root, as long as one is alive, cultivation is smooth sailing. After a few hundred years, he easily reached the Nascent Soul stage, and sixty years ago, he took advantage of the spiritual energy explosion in the Qingling Realm and entered the Out-of-Body Realm in one fell swoop.
Ever since Xuan Shi reached the Nascent Soul stage, he had stopped hiding his abilities. Unexpectedly, today, he was hiding himself again.
This is an instinct developed over the years.
Even before he entered the healing station, he'd used his half-cultivated power, yet he hadn't shattered the Three Thousand Worlds. He already sensed something was amiss. But since a high-ranking cultivator couldn't possibly own a shop, he didn't dwell on it. He simply assumed some youngster had gotten lucky and inherited a rare legacy.
However, this idea only lasted until he actually stepped into the system management area of the treatment station.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe.
It was like a thin membrane covering his entire body, monitoring his every move, without malice or emotion. For this kind of existence, the truly high-level monks called it a "domain."
The common secret realms in the world of cultivation belong to a type of domain. Most of them are not formed naturally, but are man-made.
After Xuan Shi entered the out-of-body stage, he has been trying to build his own domain, but has not succeeded so far.
At this time, he had put away his contempt, but he didn't want to waste time talking to the young Qi Refining cultivator, so he didn't say a few words until Eryi returned.
However, her appearance in person made him shudder.
He wasn't surprised when Eryi pointed out his injuries. Having lived long and seen much, he'd heard plenty of deceptive tricks. Fake Taoist priests in the mortal world would tell everyone, "You're in trouble!" It was the same principle.
He did have some damage to his spiritual consciousness, the result of a conflict with the sect's guardian beast a few years ago. While the damage appeared severe, his level was already high, so the impact on his daily life wasn't significant. As long as it didn't involve advancing, he could move freely as usual.
This type of damage to the consciousness is a single injury, without any interference from the inner demons, and will cause minimal subsequent damage to the soul. For a cultivator who has reached the state of out-of-body experience, there is still a long time to slowly and steadily repair it.
Her horror lies elsewhere.
As a cultivator who had reached the state of Out-of-Body Realm, Xuan Shi hadn't been bewitched or fallen into an illusion for many years. But just now, he almost listened to her words for a moment.
It lingers and cannot be forgotten.
…
At night.
Eryi was checking the jade slips that were exchanged for energy points in the lounge. The jade slips recorded the methods of voice transmission and shrinking the earth into an inch.
She felt that Xuan Shi left because she had exposed his illness in public: "All patients are like this, afraid that others will know about their illness. I was inconsiderate."
As for the technique of shrinking the earth to an inch, it was because Shanhai City was so large that all the cultivators knew it, so naturally they didn't think it was a big deal. But she didn't know how to do it, and it had taken her quite a while to get back from the first cave abode, which had delayed her.
Originally, using these techniques required spiritual energy. Eryi had also tried to purchase some simple cultivation techniques from the system mall, but as soon as she tried practicing, she discovered that she didn't need to draw Qi into her body.
All the spiritual energy in nature can be freely mobilized. She can learn all the techniques in the world of cultivation.
She herself is like the 'flawless body' recorded in the Qingling Realm, or the body of a celestial being from the upper realm as described in legends.
Just as she memorized the sound transmission method and put the jade slip down, Eryi suddenly felt something. She walked to the window and opened the curtains. Not far away, a beautiful woman in palace attire was floating in the air.
The bright moonlight fell on that beautiful face, emitting a warm glow and making her skin look even more transparent.
"Long time no see." The beauty saw Eryi sticking his head out and smiled at her gently, looking even more beautiful than before.
"Lord of Moon City?"
Yue Hanshan [Crossing Tribulation Period?]
HP 100%, Fatigue 0/1000, Spiritual Power: 100,000
The beauty continued to smile and did not answer.
Eryi noticed that Yue Hanshan was right at the edge of the treatment station's control system. If she took another step forward, she would enter the system's control range.
This reminded her of that person again. When they first met, she didn't have a name of her own.
She turned to the beauty and expressed her guess: "Saint."
The beauty smiled: "It's me."
…
As early as a month ago, just after the martial arts plane was closed for half a year, Eryi went there.
Things have changed and people have changed.
Almost everyone she knew had vanished, including some people from Medicine King Valley. Every time she returned, Xu Hengzhi would reappear from nowhere. It was said that even the leaders of several major sects, the owner of Liuyue Villa, and even the leader of the Wulin Alliance had all left.
But those who remain in the Wulin plane seem to have vague memories of these disappeared people.
When we talk about their disappearance, it is more like telling a legend or a story rather than something that happened to people around us.
They remembered her as a visitor from another world, but they had little impression of the people who were born and raised here.
The original mana recovery rate in the Wulin plane was 1 mana point per minute. However, by the time she arrived, it had dropped to 0.8 mana points per minute, and the plane's original C-level rating had also dropped to C-. But according to Ling Ling Ba, this was just the beginning.
…
"Do you remember how long it has been since we last met?"
"More than two years." Eryi saw Yue Hanshan's eyes sweep across the entire tower, stopping at the sixth floor. The sixth floor was where the gate to the underworld was located.
"I see." Yue Hanshan closed her eyes slightly: "But I haven't seen you for more than sixty years."
"To celebrate our reunion, I will send someone to give you a big gift tomorrow." After saying that, before Eryi could react, Yue Hanshan had already left.
She was just like when they first met, not saying much nonsense, just knowing what she wanted to know, that was enough. But Eryi still had many questions and wanted her to answer them for him.
For example, why hadn't they seen each other for over sixty years? If possible, she also wanted to know what was going on in the Wulin plane.
"Zero Zero Eight, is the system down?"
[Replying to the host, the system is running well, why do you ask this? ]
If it's not broken, what's going on with Yue Hanshan's Tribulation Period?
Shanhai City, City Lord's Mansion.
Yue Hanshan ordered people to prepare gifts.
Her maid ventured, "Unprecedented... Are you sure?"
Yue Hanshan rolled up the things in her hand and put them into the box. She said to the man standing silently behind her, "Tomorrow, you will deliver the things to her."
Her decision was unquestionable: "I want her to see you."
"yes."
Yuan Li Zhenren, who was rumored to have died long ago, appeared in the city after a long absence. Some people sensitively discovered that he came out of the city lord's mansion.
This wasn't surprising. Before Yuan Li's imminent demise, he had enjoyed a close personal relationship with Moon City Lord. Some had speculated that the two mighty beings would one day form a dual cultivation ceremony. Unfortunately, Yuan Li's unexpected demise, upon learning of this, led Moon City Lord to destroy several spiritual veins.
"How strange! If True Man Yuanli hadn't died, how could Lord Yuecheng be like that?"
"Perhaps he was just seriously injured. That's the reason why he hasn't appeared for more than two hundred years." When one reaches the realm of Yuanli Zhenren, it is not surprising for him to go into seclusion for dozens or even hundreds of years just for a random realization. After all, his cultivation is the same as that of Yuecheng Lord. He has already reached the state of fusion, and the next step is to transcend the tribulation.
What a perfect couple.
At the same time, some changes also took place in Shanhai City.
In the very center of Shanhai City, also the most prosperous location, there used to be a huge guiding stone. However, before dawn that day, the guiding stone was moved, leaving the spot vacant.
"What kind of new thing are we going to build?"
The monks passing by made some guesses.
Shanhai City, treatment station.
Eryi put away the contract that Yue Hanshan had sent over and set his eyes on the person in front of him.
She roughly understood what Yue Hanshan meant.
In Shanhai City, Yue Hanshan will give her the greatest convenience, as long as she can cure this person.
Gu Ren [Master Yuanli]
HP 100%, Fatigue 0/100, Spiritual Power: None
This person's every move seems to be no different from a real person, but only one soul and one spirit are left of his three souls and seven spirits.
Even if the body is intact, resurrection magic will still be ineffective.
