Gao Weihu saw that Mu Hanyan was hesitating about something, grinned heartily, and waved his hand to stop her from speaking further.
Although they hadn't been together for very long, Mu Hanyan could tell that Gao Weihu was, in some ways, like her: decisive and resolute. Once he made a decision, no one else's advice mattered. So Mu Hanyan didn't say anything more, keeping Gao Weihu's kindness in mind.
Time slowly slipped by, Gao Weihu's face growing paler, his eyes even hollow, but Liuguang's vitality continued to fade. Clearly, Gao Weihu's hymn of life could only temporarily prolong his life, but it couldn't heal his heart. If he stopped his magic, Liuguang would undoubtedly die.
But Gao Weihu couldn't keep casting the Hymn of Life. Even the strongest had their limits, and their spiritual energy would eventually run out. Furthermore, Gao Weihu wasn't technically that strong, so he wasn't just consuming spiritual energy; he was also consuming his life force. If this continued, he would be dead before he could save Liuguang.
Fortunately, as time went by, Mu Hanyan's body finally recovered a trace of spiritual power.
"Brother Gao, you take a rest first, let me do it." Mu Hanyan said, and then she quickly chanted the hymn of life, "The glory of God shines on the earth, giving life to all things. The hymn of life sings in the wind, Anunara Bozhehashane, Benyanan Najiheye..."
Gao Weihu had persisted for so long, buying her the most precious time. Now that she had recovered her spiritual power, she certainly couldn't let Gao Weihu hold on any longer.
"Wait!" Gao Weihu's expression changed and he wanted to stop Mu Hanyan, but it was too late.
Seeing the anxiety on Gao Weihu's face, Mu Hanyan was a little surprised at first, but soon she understood what was going on.
As the divine lights flashed, her life force poured out completely uncontrollably, and she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to.
This situation was exactly the same as when she first obtained the divine beast egg. Back then, Mu Hanyan had curiously tried to incubate the egg, but her life force had flowed uncontrollably into it. If Ye Yanran hadn't happened to appear and risked her life to save her, she would have died.
With the experience from last time, Mu Hanyan could easily guess that Liuguang was seriously injured this time, and his vitality was greatly reduced. Unless her vitality was strong enough to make up for his lost vitality and repair his heart meridian at the same time, she would not be able to stop even if she wanted to.
However, the vitality of the Qilin mythical beast is so enormous that unless one's strength reaches that of a sword saint and has undergone a complete transformation, I am afraid that no human cultivator's vitality can compare with that of the mythical beast.
Gao Weihu obviously discovered this, and was afraid that she would worry, and even more afraid that she would take risks, so he kept it from her. He could only continue to perform the Hymn of Life, trying to repair Liuguang's damaged heart meridian. Only in this way could he save his own life.
Unfortunately, his hymn of life was clearly unable to repair Liu Guang's shattered heart. Not only him, but even Mu Hanyan couldn't do it.
Chanting the hymn of life over and over again, Liuguang's broken heart showed only slight signs of healing, but it could never be healed. Meanwhile, the vitality of Mu Hanyan and Gao Weihu was rapidly fading away.
They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. If this continued, they would both die.
As their vitality continued to fade away, their bodies gradually grew colder and they began to tremble unconsciously.
Suddenly, a mysterious power poured into Mu Hanyan's meridians like a spring, so pure, so gentle, and so warm.
Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned. Before she could react to what was happening, the power poured out and flowed directly into Liuguang's body.
Rays of colorful light drifted across its body, its vitality no longer fading. Mu Hanyan probed with her divine sense and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the shattered heart meridian was rapidly mending and repairing itself.
Gao Weihu also noticed something strange about Liuguang and looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
Mu Hanyan looked inward intently, ecstatic.
As expected, it was it again. Deep within his heart, the Ancient Tree of Life, from its trunk to its branches, flashed with emerald green light. Streams of vital energy rapidly flowed into his meridians and then into Liuguang's body.
Finally, under Mu Hanyan's expectant gaze and Gao Weihu's puzzled eyes, Liuguang's heart meridians recovered as if he were reborn, and his vitality, which had been almost exhausted, became abundant and powerful.
"Liuguang!" Mu Hanyan hugged Liuguang tightly in her arms again, shedding a few crystal tears, but this time, they were not tears of sadness and despair, but tears of joy.
There was a muffled "bang" sound beside him, and Gao Weihu fell heavily to the ground.
"Brother Gao!" Mu Hanyan hurriedly helped Gao Weihu up, took out the elixir and wanted to heal his wounds.
In order to save Liuguang, Gao Weihu almost risked his life, but she was only happy that Liuguang's injuries had healed, and left him aside. Mu Hanyan felt a little ashamed.
"I'm fine. Let me check on your pet first. Don't let anything unexpected happen." Gao Weihu said.
Although Liuguang had reverted to his piglet form, he had seen the little creature's divine grace when it transformed into a Qilin, and knew this wasn't just any piglet, but a legendary divine beast. If anything happened to Liuguang, he'd probably be even more distressed than Mu Hanyan. In his opinion, this legendary divine beast was worth far more than he was.
"It's fine. I'll heal you first." Mu Hanyan insisted.
The reason why she values Liuguang so much is not because of his identity as the Young Master of Qilin, but because of their friendship of dependence, companionship, and protection in life and death. They are friends, partners, and even relatives, and it is not as simple as the relationship between a sword master and a sword pet.
And now, Gao Weihu is also her friend, and his position in her heart is as important as Liuguang.
That’s right, from this moment on, he truly regarded Gao Weihu as a friend, a friend whom he could rely on.
"My injury is really not serious." Seeing Mu Hanyan's determination, Gao Weihu couldn't help but be moved, but he still turned around and revealed the injury on his back.
Mu Hanyan stared at the newly grown flesh on Gao Weihu's back, surprised. It turned out that Gao Weihu's injuries had healed as his Liuguang Heart Meridian healed. If it weren't for the tender white color of the newly grown flesh, the injury would have been almost invisible. His fall was simply due to the excessive spiritual energy loss from his previous forced use of the Hymn of Life.
"Master Priest, how did you do it? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with medical skills. Is the hymn of life in the Huayu Temple really so mysterious?" Gao Weihu turned around and looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion.
