Chapter 30 The Essence of Cultivation



Are you alright?

Ning Yanlan moved with difficulty to Jiang Yuan's side. She saw the knife wound and was truly worried to death.

After applying the worthless plaster, Jiang Yuan slowly pulled down his T-shirt. "I won't die!"

"Are you crazy? Why are you using a plaster for a knife wound?" Ning Yanlan pushed Jiang Yuan down and then tried to lift his clothes to treat his wound.

"Big sister, does this count as 'pushing down a man'?" Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan with a relaxed and carefree expression, showing no concern.

“You…” Ning Yanlan wasn’t stupid; she immediately realized something. “Is this an item that was extracted from the core?”

"Smart!" Jiang Yuan pulled down his clothes again and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm a little exhausted!" Ning Yanlan's face showed a hint of fatigue. She had eaten two beef balls, but her strength was only three. However, she was not used to physical exertion and still felt weak.

"Is your head alright?" Jiang Yuan asked with concern. He knew all too well how harmful Sun Gaoyuan's soul energy could be to the human body.

"It's alright, it's just a pity about this sacred scepter! I should have put a baseball bat in my storage ring, so that I, as a melee mage, could exert my greatest strength!" Ning Yanlan looked at the scepter broken in two on the ground with heartache. It was unusable now that it was broken like this.

"It's alright, I'll get you a real sacred scepter next time!" Jiang Yuan was finally relieved. Seeing that Ning Yanlan was worried about the scepter, he knew that she was fine.

"Really? What do you mean?" Ning Yanlan didn't understand.

Squeak, bang.

Jiang Yuan was about to explain the name of the dog-leg scepter when a loud bang startled the two of them.

“It’s Xiaolian and the others!” Ning Yanlan sat up from the ground.

"Close the door!"

Jiang Yuan quickly pulled the two of them inside, while Ning Yanlan swiftly closed the door.

The light of the Holy Spirit Fortress is an irresistible temptation for monsters. If the light leaks out at night, a large number of monsters will inevitably rush in, and then they will truly feel isolated and helpless, surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Xu Feng was not dead, but he was close to death. His bones were exposed all over his body, and rotten flesh was hanging on his clothes. He was a bloody mess.

As for Xu Lian, although she was not seriously injured, she was very listless and looked exhausted. In addition, the desolate feeling of carrying Xu Feng, who looked like a corpse, was even more pronounced.

The first thing Xu Lian saw was the lifeless bodies of Wang Hetai and Sun Gaoyuan on the ground. Her voice was filled with sorrow, "Why did you have to kill each other? Wouldn't it have been better if we all survived together in this apocalypse?"

Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan remained silent. Their decision was to abandon Xu Lian and Xu Feng, because they also needed to survive.

"He's dead, and those lunatics have fled to the back mountain!" Xu Lian kicked Sun Gaoyuan on the ground, then became frantic.

Xu Lian put Xu Feng on the ground, then picked up the knife and stabbed Sun Gaoyuan's corpse again and again, yelling, "It's all your fault! You killed my family! It's all your fault! You ruined everything I had!"

With each cut, until Sun Gaoyuan's corpse was completely mutilated, Xu Lian finally released the knife from her hand.

Neither Jiang Yuan nor Ning Yanlan stopped her; she needed to vent at that moment.

"Xiao Lian!"

Unable to bear the sight of the horrific scene, Xu Feng reached out his hand, "Xiao Lian, I'm sorry! I can't marry you anymore!"

Xu Lian sobbed a few times and couldn't hold back her tears.

"Can she be saved?" Jiang Yuan whispered in Ning Yanlan's ear.

Ning Yanlan said uncertainly, "I'm not sure, we should try it first!"

The power of the Light of Nature is not very stable, and Ning Yanlan herself is not confident in it. Although the Light of Nature is a skill that can be improved, it does not match her attributes. Before she obtains a skill that matches her attributes, the effect of the Light of Nature will be greatly weakened.

"Xu Lian, take off his clothes! Sister Yanlan can try to treat him, but whether she can save him or not is unknown," Jiang Yuan said after obtaining Ning Yanlan's consent.

"Really?" Xu Lian's sobs stopped.

At this moment, Xu Feng also showed an extraordinary will to survive. His eyes were filled with hope as he pleaded, "Sister Yanlan, please save me! I really didn't mean to offend you last time. I didn't know that Uncle San would go to your place in the middle of the night. If I had known, I would have definitely gone back to stop him!"

Xu Feng felt guilty because he had really had wicked thoughts that night. If Ning Yanlan hadn't resisted his aggressive gaze, he would have followed his evil intentions.

That's why he didn't dare to object when Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan left twice, because he had no right to ask for help.

But at this moment he really wanted to live, especially as he was facing death, he was afraid!

"Never mind!" Ning Yanlan sighed. At first, she didn't like Xu Feng's sweeping gaze, but after thinking about it, she let it go and just assumed he was admiring a beautiful woman. "Xiao Lian, take his clothes off!"

"Thank you, Sister Yanlan!" Xu Lian smiled through her tears.

Xu Feng was so moved that he shed tears. Who wouldn't want to live if they could survive?

Ning Yanlan used the Light of Nature to heal Xu Feng, but it took a very long time, almost several hours. Ning Yanlan was injured, and coupled with the high intensity of the battle, she could only do her best to heal him.

As for Jiang Yuan, he sat quietly on the other side, cultivating and contemplating what cultivation was.

As Sun Gaoyuan said, they were just a group of pseudo-evolvers who possessed divine gifts, unable to understand the core of cultivation, and their strength was of no use.

Just like humans, humans are not the strongest in the long history of Earth's development. In terms of strength, speed, and size, they are weaker than some wild animals, but humans still stand at the top of the food chain.
