“A cultivator’s primordial spirit is second only to the soul in importance. Even if all the damage to her body is repaired, she won’t be able to wake up without repairing her primordial spirit,” Yuan Qi said with certainty. “I am not proficient in primordial spirit techniques, so I cannot cure her!”
Hang Ye and the others immediately turned pale, and a look of despair appeared in their eyes. For a moment, the whole room became heavy.
Yuan Qi turned to look at You You behind him, his expression questioning.
You You naturally understood what he meant, and sighed. The person had come all this way, so they couldn't just give up and not treat him.
So he turned to the person next to him and said, "Ling Qi, could you please call Feng Rong over here for a moment and help me out?" Repairing the primordial spirit is something that only Little Turkey can do.
She had barely finished speaking when she changed her mind again, "Never mind, if you can't get him to come, I'll go myself. Where is he?"
Ling Qi thought for a moment before pointing to the back mountain and saying, "Today is the day the sunflowers on the back mountain ripen. Venerable Feng went there early this morning with the alchemy disciples of the sect to collect the sunflower seeds."
"..." She said she couldn't find anyone this morning.
You You sighed, told the Five Elements Sect members to wait a moment, and then turned and headed towards the back mountain. Ever since Feng Rong became obsessed with roasting various nuts, he had stockpiled a large plot of land on the back mountain specifically to grow these things; he had even cleared the land himself. Every year during harvest season, he would plunge into the back mountain and work for several days straight.
She had been wondering how she would find anyone in such a vast area of the back mountain. But as soon as she turned the corner, she saw the entire mountainside teeming with people. Everyone was dressed in the sect's disciple robes, and each held sickles, hoes, and other tools, busily harvesting nuts from the ground. Upon closer inspection, she saw disciples from all sorts of specialties—alchemy, beast cultivation, array formation, magic cultivation… almost half the sect had gathered here.
You You was taken aback. Although Feng Rong had a bad temper, he was actually a very sensible person. He valued his disciples' cultivation as much as he did, so even if there was something else going on, he wouldn't specifically order his disciples to do anything else, even something as simple as collecting nuts. So, these disciples all over the mountain weren't summoned by him, but came to help voluntarily? When did he become so popular?
Youyou was stunned. What was wrong with these disciples? They actually put aside their cultivation to come here and help. Was it because they had too little homework?
A closer look revealed that Feng Rong was indeed sitting in a makeshift pavilion nearby, not even touching the ground, leisurely swinging her legs and occasionally grabbing a handful of nuts that had just been delivered to her. Meanwhile, the disciples harvesting melon seeds in the field were delivering their harvest time and time again, each with an excited expression on their faces, their joyful voices instantly reaching over.
"Your Excellency, these were collected from the east. As you can see, they are all plump and perfect for making caramel flavor. Just bake them until they are six-tenths cooked. Adding one when refining pills can directly upgrade the pills by one grade!"
“Your Excellency, I think nine-tenths ripe is the most suitable. You see, this batch of fruits I collected is full of spiritual energy and is obviously no ordinary fruit. Refine it and turn it into cinnabar, and the magic talismans drawn from it will be very useful.”
"Go away, what do you know? Only when they're seven-tenths cooked can the essence of these melon seeds be brought out. They can be used to refine array artifacts, or to draw array flags. One melon can be used for multiple purposes, which is quite cost-effective. Venerable, please roast them to seven-tenths cooked!"
"Bah! It's already good enough that the Venerable One is willing to refine it, yet you're still being picky. Venerable One, please don't listen to them. I don't ask for anything, I just want to ask you, do you have any leftover burnt fruit scraps this year? Please keep them, scatter them in the spiritual land, and the spiritual plants will grow incredibly fast!"
"Hey, you people! In the end, you just want to use the Venerable One's melon to make things. I'm different. I'm just doing this for the food. I can eat anything..."
"Your Excellency..."
Youyou: "..."
Did she have no idea that Feng Rong's nut business had become this successful? It's like she's about to create a brand like Squirrel!
You You was speechless for a moment, then coughed before calling out, "Feng Rong!"
Feng Rong, who had been swinging her legs, was startled and suddenly stood up, rushing towards her like a gust of wind. "Youyou, you're here?"
The disciples also looked over and bowed in unison in her direction: "Greetings, Sect Master!"
"Hmm." Youyou responded to everyone, deliberately ignoring the nuts in their hands, and turned to the person next to her, saying, "Fengrong, there's something I need your help with. Come with me for a moment."
"Okay." Feng Rong nodded without hesitation, and took her hand. Before leaving, she turned back and instructed, "After you've finished collecting them, remember to take them directly to the Second Peak to dry in the sun, so they don't get damp." Seeing that the disciples all patted their chests to assure her, she then followed You You away.
You You's lips twitched, and she coughed before explaining Qin Hong's situation. "You know a bit more about the primordial spirit, so please take a look. If you can save her, that would be great. If not, don't force yourself. It's important to protect yourself."
"You're worried about me?" As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Rong's eyes lit up, and she looked at her with a hint of joy and smugness. Her smile seemed impossible to hide, and she pulled her hand in hers, intertwining her fingers one by one. She smiled like a flower and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely wake up the person you want me to save."
You You: "..." Was your Chinese taught by PE? Is there something wrong with your reading comprehension?!
As they talked, they arrived at the side hall. Feng Rong strode in with a light heart, glanced at the unconscious Qin Hongtian on the bed, and after a while reluctantly let go of You You's hand. She then bent her finger and touched the other's forehead to examine her. Before long, her brows furrowed.
"How is it?" Before he could speak, Hang Ye beside him spoke anxiously first.
Feng Rong glanced at him before saying in a deep voice, "Her primordial spirit was forcibly severed, which doesn't seem to be caused by external martial arts, but rather seems to be... a backlash!"
Hang Ye's face paled for a moment before he hurriedly explained, "The tribulation of ascension is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. In order to cope with it... my sect leader did indeed use some special methods. This... was also to ensure a successful ascension. Divine Lord, is there any way to remedy this?"
Feng Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, but did not press further. She pursed her lips and said, "Her primordial spirit is not too badly severed. I can still repair this damage. However, the lightning energy in her body is extremely domineering. Even if it is repaired, her cultivation level will probably drop significantly."
A flicker of pain crossed Hang Ye's face, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Then... I'll have to trouble you, Divine Lord!" Being able to save his life is already the best outcome; cultivation level is no longer a concern.
"Then carry her to the courtyard. I need to set up an array to help her stabilize her spirit." After saying that, Feng Rong turned around and walked out, also pulling You You away from the side.
