Chapter 87 I Lead It Away
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of something heavy falling from inside, and the three people who were fighting immediately stopped and rushed in.
The senior sister fell to the ground with a bowl of spilled medicine beside her.
They hurriedly helped their senior sister to a clean place.
Xi Jing called out in a very low voice: "Senior Sister?"
She didn't expect to get a reply from her senior sister, but unexpectedly, her senior sister slowly opened her eyes.
Tao Zi rubbed his forehead. What just happened?
Xi Jing helped her up and asked hesitantly, "Senior Sister, is the poison taking effect?"
She shook her head, thought about it carefully, and replied, "No, it's just an old problem."
Perhaps it was because she worried too much in the past, and she had many health problems, which led to her suffering from headaches, which she has had from time to time over the years.
"Old problem?"
"Headache."
The three of them were a little surprised. She didn't quite believe it at first, but after consulting several medical practitioners, their statements were almost the same, so she had no choice but to believe it for the time being.
She glanced at the spilled medicine and said, "I'll just rest for a bit. Oh, I need to practice for a while, maybe three days at the shortest, five at the longest. Don't disturb me."
"Okay, Senior Sister."
The three of them walked out, and she cleaned up the medicine. The voice of the inner demon rang in her mind: "What were you thinking about just now? Why did you have a headache?"
"I just remembered what happened in the past, and I always felt that something was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Tao Zi simply washed her hands and said, "Why worry about what's wrong if you know what's wrong? I don't know when this problem will be cured."
The inner demon stopped talking.
Not long after, a new medicine was prepared.
The main ingredients of this medicinal juice are marrow-washing grass and solid leaves. It is mainly aimed at the solid stage, especially the solid stage with poor foundation. Its function is to enhance the sensitivity of the physical body to spiritual energy, thereby enhancing the effect of cultivation.
The side effect of the medicine is that the pain during practice will be doubled, but this is not a bad thing for Tao Zi. After all, she needs to strengthen her ability to resist pain.
Tao Zi drank the medicine directly.
At first, her limbs felt warm, but after a quarter of an hour, they turned cold, and she seemed to be back to the time when she knelt at the Sword Sect's mountain gate. Back then, she knelt for three days and was struck by eighteen sword energies before finally meeting the young sect leader and regaining the sword.
She vaguely remembered the young master saying something when she left. What was it? It seemed to be - Yue Qiran, are you really doing this for her own good?
Her limbs turned from cold to painful, and she was sweating profusely as she struggled to hold on, and she had no time to think about those things.
Tao Zi held on for three days.
Occasionally, she could vaguely hear Xi Jing and the others' worried voices, as well as Han Yueshan's low scolding of them.
When he opened his eyes, his entire body was covered with blood scabs.
She was not surprised. The worse the foundation, the more severe the skin breakdown and the weaker she would be afterwards.
The three of them stood outside in fear until they heard her voice: "Xi Jing, go get a bucket of water."
"Huh? Hey, okay!" Xi Jing was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Han Yueshan came in and whispered, "Senior Sister, how are you now?"
"It's OK, but I'll leave the hunting to you for the time being. It's a good opportunity to train your combat abilities."
He responded without hesitation: "Senior Sister, don't worry, the three of us together can still defeat a monster."
Tao Zi nodded.
Five months later, the flower in the center finally bloomed.
At that time, Tao Zi was standing aside, holding a knife-like weapon in one hand and a bowl of red medicine in the other.
Xi Jing and others stood by, staring at the flower nervously.
The flower bud opened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tao Zi was not impatient and waited until the flower was completely open before cutting it and drinking the juice.
After the red juice is absorbed into the flower, it spreads outward from the center and turns white in an instant.
Xi Jing and the others murmured in surprise, but Tao Zi showed no sign of surprise. "After drinking this medicinal juice, I will go into seclusion for about a month."
"One month?" Han Yueshan almost jumped up. "It's not time to practice fasting yet, is it? Besides, you're a physical cultivator. I've never heard of physical cultivators practicing fasting."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Senior Sister has her own way, you just take care of yourselves."
Tao Zi returned to the small cave, looked at the medicinal juice, and drank it without hesitation.
This medicinal juice can repair the spiritual veins, but it has a strict requirement: you cannot eat it within one month.
Ordinary Taoist practitioners may be able to hold on, but physical practitioners may not be able to.
But she has to give it a try anyway, doesn't she?
Time passed slowly, Xi Jing waited outside the school, waiting patiently for his brothers to return from hunting.
During the time they spent in the Dayless Forest, they had made great progress, from running away when they saw monsters, to hunting together as a team of three, and finally to hunting as a team of two. Their efforts and the medicinal juices prepared by their senior sister had lived up to their expectations.
She secretly calculated their current strength in her mind. Her senior sister was in the solid stage, and her strength was unknown; her second senior brother was in the fifth level of body refining; her third senior brother was in the third level of body refining; and she was the worst, still at the first level of body refining.
But my senior sister said that their current level is definitely better than those at the same level.
Come to think of it, who would be like them, running to the Dayless Forest to train before even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage? When the time comes to really fight, those at the same level may only have written experience but no actual combat ability.
Thinking of this, Xi Jing felt a little proud.
Suddenly, the waterfall gate opened, and Han Yueshan and the others stumbled in. Zhao Xue was still injured.
Her expression changed: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Han Yueshan waved his hand tiredly and said, "I encountered a tough point and almost didn't stay there."
Xi Jing hurriedly found some healing herbs and treated them.
Suddenly, there was a bang outside and the three people's expressions changed.
"That monster?"
"Impossible, Zhao Xue and I have already killed him."
Zhao Xue looked at the blood on his body with an unpleasant expression and said, "Maybe it's because of human blood."
Han Yueshan rejected it again: "No, it won't happen. We deliberately smeared the demon blood on it, and then applied the medicine that Senior Sister gave us to temporarily cover up the smell of human blood. It is impossible to be discovered."
Xi Jing listened to the noise outside getting closer and closer, and said fearfully, "What should I do now?"
Han Yueshan was troubled for a while. Zhao Xue's hands were shaking, but he said firmly, "It's very likely that I caused this disaster. Let me lead it away."
"Zhao Xue!"
"Third Brother!"
He took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Senior Sister is in seclusion. This is the best solution. We can't all die here."
He gritted his teeth and started walking towards the door.
"Zhao Xue, take the spiritual weapon." Han Yueshan handed it to him, "Hold on as long as you can. I'm going to find my senior sister."
