Chapter 226 Unusually Positive
Hongjun held the little golden crow, his hand pausing slightly. His thoughtful gaze fell on the golden crow's body. This golden crow's body showed a tendency to transform into the body of a primordial demon god. Thinking of the dazzling sword light of Chang Hao during the chaos, every move he made clearly used the Law of Light from the Three Thousand Great Daos...
Thinking that he and Chang Hao would be the only two of their kind in this world, Hongjun was in a great mood, having completely forgotten about his true kind, Rahu, who was trapped in the Demon Realm and nearly depressed.
Hongjun focused his attention on Chang Hao's body. "Your body was in a mess before, so I didn't dare to make any rash moves. Now, I will help you remove the Heavenly Dao power that is entrenched in your sword wound."
"Let's do it." Chang Hao closed his eyes directly. It was better for Hongjun to directly attack than for him to slowly wear down the power of the Heavenly Dao. A short pain was better than a long one. He would just have to suffer two more sword strikes from the Heavenly Dao.
Once the most troublesome Heavenly Punishment Sword is removed, it's only a matter of time before the other injuries heal.
He is the one who knows the power of the sun and the laws of light best. Only if he recovers quickly can we find a way to wake Taiyi up first.
"Yuanshi, provide the power of origin..." Hongjun's expression was solemn. His finger precisely touched the wound through his clothes, and the next second, he suddenly drew out the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Chang Hao's face turned pale. Yuan Shi immediately reached out and pulled him into his arms. The power of origin flowed into Chang Hao's body continuously, and Chang Hao did not hold back, absorbing it all.
Hongjun kept a close eye on Yuanshi's actions, afraid that Yuanshi might make any unnecessary moves. Seeing that Yuanshi was working quite hard, he nodded inwardly, thinking that Chang Hao's friend was alright, at least he seemed quite sincere for now.
Chang Hao's eyelids began to feel heavy again, so he simply gave up and closed his eyes to fall into a deep sleep. He was already in Zixiao Palace, and the two people he trusted most were in front of him, so nothing could happen.
"Alright, that's enough for today," Hongjun gestured to Yuanshi to place Changhao on the cloud couch. "You're tired too, go and meditate."
Hongjun glanced at Yuanshi's pale face. "Yuanshi is no good. It seems we'll have to switch to Tongtian next time."
Looking again at Chang Hao on the cloud couch, he thought, "As expected of the one I raised, he has unlimited potential and has almost drained Yuanshi dry."
Yuan Shi tightened his grip slightly. "Master, I can still bear it, but Chang Hao is fast asleep. If I stop, it may not be good for his recovery."
"You don't need to force yourself. I will have Tongtian take over." Hongjun refused without hesitation. Yuanshi's face turned pale. He couldn't just pretend he didn't see it and keep squeezing this one out. That wouldn't sound good.
“This disciple did not force himself to endure it…” Yuanshi gritted his teeth inwardly.
However, Hongjun always did things his own way, and he ignored Yuanshi's words, directly summoning Tongtian.
Yuanshi reluctantly placed Chang Hao on the cloud couch, and as soon as he put him down, he began to feel reluctant to part with him. When would this end?
Tongtian received Hongjun's summons and arrived late, peeking inside...
"Come in, what are you doing, peeking around like that? What kind of behavior is this?" Yuanshi was in a bad mood.
Tongtian stepped over the threshold hesitantly, his once carefree youthful spirit now somewhat composed. He sat quietly by the couch, and this was the first time he had seen Chang Hao up close since the incident. As he looked at him, Tongtian's eyes couldn't help but redden.
Chang Hao's thin and sickly appearance was comparable to grass in the wind, drifting aimlessly, with not a trace of his former imposing manner.
Thinking of how Chang Hao almost lost his life under divine punishment, Tongtian secretly exclaimed how lucky he was. Fortunately, Chang Hao survived the ordeal safely and would surely have a smooth and successful future, just as Taiyi had blessed him.
Tongtian reached out to take over the task from Yuanshi, but Yuanshi glared at him fiercely, and Tongtian recoiled as if pricked by a needle.
No, he came to help.
"Second Brother..." Tongtian looked at him with a puzzled expression. What was going on?
"Why didn't you come a little later?" Yuanshi said with a stern face. This Tongtian was really his nemesis. Since he was already dawdling, why not just not come at all?
"Although Nuwa called me over and chatted with me for a while, which wasted a little time, it's not a crime, is it?" Tongtian knew it would be like this. His second brother must be annoyed that he wasted time. It's all Nuwa's fault for stopping him at that particular time.
Yuanshi was caught off guard by Tongtian's casual remark. He was speaking literally, but Tongtian's interpretation was far too far off.
"Since you're here, stop with the nonsense," Hongjun opened his eyes. "Let's begin."
The Qi of Shangqing is different from that of Yuqing. After Chang Hao receives it, it still needs to be transformed, which makes it much less efficient.
Hongjun was somewhat dissatisfied, while Yuanshi was secretly delighted. "Master, I think there's no need to trouble Tongtian. This disciple can take on the task himself."
"Are you sure?" Hongjun just didn't want to make things too ugly, but if the other party put on a good show, he could feel at ease.
Yuanshi nodded solemnly, "I will entrust Chang Hao's injuries to my disciple. I will spare no effort to go to the Heavenly Court to heal Chang Hao."
Hongjun felt that Yuanshi was unusually proactive, and he felt that something was wrong, but he could also sense that Yuanshi was speaking from the bottom of his heart. After thinking it over, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Ultimately, unable to bear seeing Chang Hao endure the pain and gain the upper hand, Hongjun took out two of the spiritual treasures he had promised Nuwa: "These are the Incense Burning Hall and the Azure Sky Sword. The Incense Burning Hall can enhance the divine power of the Daoist temple, and the Azure Sky Sword is incomparably sharp and possesses unparalleled attack power. I will give them to you now, and once Chang Hao has recovered, I will immediately give you the remaining three spiritual treasures."
This magical treasure was too hot to handle, so Yuanshi naturally declined it. However, Hongjun never took back anything he gave away, except for the Primordial Purple Qi.
"That's enough for today. Go back to the main hall." Hongjun saw that Chang Hao had stopped absorbing the power of origin, and knew that the limit had been reached. He then turned on him and sent him away.
After Yuanshi left the side hall, he stuffed Lingbao into Tongtian's hand.
"Second Brother, what does this mean?" Tongtian suddenly realized, "No way, when did my second brother become so kind? He just turned around and the spiritual treasure was given to him."
"I'll give you the Spirit Treasure, let's make a deal." Just when Yuanshi really didn't want to be alone with Chang Hao, Tongtian suddenly appeared, ruining the mood.
"Sure..." Having received a gift, Tongtian was all ears, but he didn't give a definite answer as to whether he would agree or not.
"Chang Hao needs to rest. Next time I'm alone with Chang Hao, could you please not jump out?" Tongtian could hear the gritted teeth in his voice clearly.
“I don’t want to,” Tongtian immediately objected. “How can my friendship with Chang Hao be tainted by a spiritual treasure?”
Yuanshi was greatly surprised. "What do you mean by this?" Since when could Tongtian even bribe spiritual treasures?
"Hmph, I won't do as you wish." Tongtian noticed that Yuanshi's gaze was strange. His second brother had never been a good person since childhood, always petty and narrow-minded.
If someone who's been putting on airs suddenly becomes generous, there's definitely something fishy going on.
If Chang Hao knew that he had neglected his seriously injured friend for the sake of just two innate spiritual treasures, he would definitely be angry with him.
"Are you planning to slander Chang Hao after I accept the spiritual treasure? And then make Chang Hao distance himself from me?" Tongtian had an expression that said he saw right through me. "Don't even think about it. My friendship with Chang Hao will last forever."
