Feng Rong stopped in the courtyard, summoned several balls of flame, and placed them in different locations. She made several hand seals, and in no time, a red magic circle appeared in the courtyard, with flames flickering at the edges, carrying a hint of warmth.
Hang Ye and the others also carried Qin Hong out. Feng Rong gestured for them to place her in the formation before stepping back a few paces and activating the formation. Instantly, the courtyard was filled with a brilliant red light, and wisps of red light connected with Qin Hong in the formation, as if drawing something towards her.
Sure enough, before long, an identical phantom emerged from the unconscious Qin Hong's body, which should be the other party's primordial spirit. Indeed, as Feng Rong said, the primordial spirit was covered with cracks, which were very conspicuous, like a porcelain doll that had been violently smashed, as if it would shatter at any moment.
The red light on the ground grew brighter, and Feng Rong's hand seals moved even faster. Her expression was serious, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead. She didn't even have time to turn around and blink at Qin Hong. She began to concentrate on repairing the cracks in Qin Hong's primordial spirit.
The entire courtyard was completely silent; no one spoke, all eyes were fixed on the person within the formation. Repairing the primordial spirit was an extremely energy-consuming task, and even Feng Rong, who was skilled in this art, spent a full half hour repairing each crack on Qin Hong's primordial spirit.
He changed his hand seals, and the floating phantom slowly returned to Qin Hong's body. The red light on the array also began to slowly dissipate. Only then did Feng Rong lower his hand, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Youyou subconsciously reached out to support him, looking at him with concern.
Feng Rong turned her head, and her previously upright figure instantly became boneless as she leaned against her, tilting her head to rest on her shoulder. She then pulled her close, her voice low and husky, humming softly, "Mmm, Youyou... I'm so tired." So delicate, so fragile, the kind that needs a kiss and a hug.
You You, without suspecting anything, quickly helped the person up, feeling a bit annoyed. She said in a deep voice, "I told you not to push yourself." If one treatment isn't enough, you can have it done in several sessions. Instead, they're the ones charging money.
"Sect Master!" Hang Ye and the others quickly entered the formation and helped Qin Hong up.
Sure enough, after a short while, Qin Hong's eyes moved and she slowly opened them, looking at the people in front of her with a hint of confusion. "A-Ye? Where am I... how did I get here... what happened to me?"
"It's alright!" Hang Ye hugged the other person excitedly and said, "Sect Master, we have asked the Divine Venerable to help repair your primordial spirit, you are alright now."
"God..." Qin Hong seemed to only then realize that the place was somewhat unfamiliar. She paused for a moment, turned her head, and just in time met You You's eyes. "You You, it's you! This is... Pfft~"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face, which had just regained some color, instantly turned deathly pale again. Her brows furrowed, and she looked like she was in great pain. Even more, a few strands of lightning appeared around her.
"Sect Master!" Hang Ye and the others were startled again, looking completely bewildered.
Youyou was also startled and could only look at Yuan Qi beside her, "Father Yuan, what's this?"
Yuan Qi looked over, his eyes fixed on someone who was still pretending to be weak. He sighed softly and then walked over to the other side, saying, "Although her primordial spirit has recovered, the thunder energy in her body is still there. If it is not cleared in time, it will still affect her primordial spirit again."
Hang Ye and the others were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and bowed to Yuan Qi, "Please, God, save our sect leader."
"Put her down. I'll try to draw out the lightning energy from her body," Yuan Qi said.
The group quickly stepped back a few paces. Qin Hong seemed to realize what was happening, and gave You You a complicated look, but she also sat up straight and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.
Yuan Qi moved incredibly fast; in less than half a moment, the array beneath his feet changed. The red array that had been repairing his primordial spirit vanished, replaced by a complex array radiating white light, its layers upon layers of magical runes dazzling to the eye. As soon as Yuan Qi began to perform hand seals, the various magical runes and patterns came to life, flying towards Qin Hong in the center and surrounding her completely.
Qin Hong's expression grew even more pained, her teeth clenched tightly as if she were enduring something. Blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth, and finally something was drawn out of her body—wisps of lightning-like flashes, which should be the thunder energy Yuan Qi had mentioned.
It's unclear how much lightning power Qin Hong absorbed, but the flashes of light kept emanating from her body, converging above her head and forming a ball of lightning in no time, with more and more appearing.
It wasn't until 15 minutes later.
Yuan Qi suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "Guard your primordial spirit, concentrate your mind and calm your breath, I will draw out the last trace of thunder energy." After he finished speaking, the array on the ground started to operate rapidly, and Qin Hong clearly heard these words as her spiritual energy surged.
Yuan Qi changed his technique again, and the magic patterns in the formation directly wrapped around the wisp of lightning energy connected to Qin Hong, pulling it outwards with all his might. The next moment, there was a "poof" sound, and the last wisp of lightning energy was finally pulled out of Qin Hong's body and merged into the lightning ball above.
Before anyone could even breathe a sigh of relief, the ball of lightning that had been summoned suddenly began to twist and change. In no time, it shattered, emitting a melodious cry—a sound that was extremely familiar, resembling the voice someone made when reverting to their original form. The ball of lightning then transformed into the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings, its feathers broad and its tail feathers long…
“This is…” Yuan Qi, who was holding the formation, was shocked.
"Lei Yu!" Feng Rong, who had just been feigning weakness, suddenly spoke up, her entire body instantly enveloped in immense rage. The next moment, she rushed out, grabbed Qin Hong, who was still not fully recovered, and lifted her up. "What did you do in the Sacred Tree Space? Why do you have my clan's Thunder Phoenix Feather inside you!"
Qin Hong was already seriously injured, and Feng Rong's words aggravated her injuries, causing her to vomit even more blood, making her look like she was on the verge of death.
"Sect Master... release my Sect Master!" Hang Ye and the others outside the formation panicked and immediately took out their magical weapons and attacked Feng Rong's direction without thinking.
You You's face darkened. Although she didn't know why Feng Rong was acting so impulsively, she couldn't just stand by and watch her people be bullied in her own home. She immediately summoned her magic sword and with a wave of her hand, sent the magic weapons of the group flying back.
"Is this your Five Elements Sect's thank-you gift?" she asked, enunciating each word clearly, her gaze sweeping over Hang Ye and the others.
The five were hit squarely by the magical artifact that You You had sent back, and fell directly to the ground, but they still looked angrily in Feng Rong's direction, "Release our sect leader!"
"Stop!" Several people tried to get up and continue attacking, but Qin Hong suddenly spoke up, "None of you are allowed to come over!"
"Sect Master..." The group paused for a moment.
