Since transmigrating to this other world, she has lived under the protection of either Xiu Qiyu or her master, who always nipped any crisis in the bud. This is the first time Ye Xiruo has felt completely drained. To make matters worse, she has no idea where she is. She's even separated from her brother Xiu Qiyu. It's a story more tragic than tragedy itself.
Two hours later, Ye Xiruo slowly finished her practice, opened her eyes, and her lips twitched involuntarily. Only one small pill had restored 30% of her strength. Her injuries had indeed improved a lot, but it was impossible to fully recover without ten days to half a month of quiet recuperation. Most importantly, she was currently penniless and didn't have a single spirit stone. The spiritual energy in the desert was not abundant. Her luck was truly indescribable.
Ye Xiruo covered her face. It wasn't that she was reluctant to eat the last Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, but that it wouldn't be of any use. The effects of the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill couldn't be stacked. Otherwise, no matter how severe the injury, as long as she ate a few Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, she could recover completely. The effect was too heaven-defying. This was more than just a seventh-grade pill; even a tenth-grade Greater Rejuvenation Pill probably couldn't do that.
There's nothing else we can do but take some blood-replenishing pills, rejuvenation pills, and vital energy-nourishing pills to slowly recover.
The carriage seemed to have stopped, and the servants quickly set up tents. However, there was no firewood in the desert, so they couldn't start a fire to cook. Several fire-elemental cultivators heated the water in the kettles with their true energy, and everyone drank some to warm up. The servants with lower cultivation levels finished tidying up and silently ate their dry rations.
Ye Xiruo got off the carriage and walked towards the largest tent, where the person who rescued her must be living. He seemed to be quite young. After all, he had saved her life, so she should thank him properly.
Everyone was quite shocked by Ye Xiruo's appearance. They had heard that the young lady had saved someone in the past few days, but she had been staying in the carriage and no one had seen what she looked like. When they saw a strange little girl at first glance, they thought it must be her.
They had been traveling through the endless desert for several days, and in three more days they would be able to leave this terrible place. However, no one was feeling relaxed. They didn't know when those ferocious and savage sand bandits would come out to wreak havoc. This time, the patriarch had really gone all in, and this was all the guards the Ling family could muster. But if they really had to face those sand bandits, they would definitely not be enough.
Ye Xiruo could also sense the tension in these people's nerves, wondering if there were any huge risks on their journey.
"Ye Qi has come specifically to thank Miss for saving my life," Ye Xiruo said, standing outside the tent.
Soon, a delicate white hand lifted the tent door, and one by one, little girls around thirteen or fourteen years old, wrapped in snow-white cloaks, came out. When they saw Ye Xiruo, they gave her a sweet smile: "You're so pretty, Miss. You were pretty when you were asleep, but you're even more charming now that you're awake."
Ye Xiruo chuckled: "You flatter me, Miss. The teleportation array I used this time had an accident, and I was seriously injured and teleported here. Thank you for saving my life, Miss."
"Teleportation array, you must be from the Central Continent or a place close to the Central Continent, only such places have teleportation arrays."
"Young Miss, don't believe her one-sided story. Who knows if she's a spy sent by the sand bandits to steal intelligence and information from our ranks so they can tip off the sand bandits?" Soon, a middle-aged woman in her thirties, wearing a green robe and with a serious and stern face, came out. Her sharp gaze was like a blade piercing Ye Xiruo, and she even carried a bit of mental pressure, showing no regard for Ye Xiruo, who was seriously injured.
A cold glint flashed in Ye Xiruo's lowered eyes. Was this woman a psychopath or something else? What was with this woman's bitter and resentful expression, as if the whole world owed her something? She had never offended her.
Ling Xue's expression changed as well: "Aunt Ling, what are you saying? What evidence do you have to prove she's a sand bandit? If you don't have any, don't talk nonsense." Ling Xue's face scrunched up, clearly displeased.
"Young lady, don't be fooled by her appearance."
"I believe I won't misjudge you. If anything goes wrong, it's on me." This big brother-like tone, combined with that adorable little face, is quite an endearing contrast.
"Night Seven, why did you get off the bus? How are you feeling?"
"I'm much better now, thank you. I will repay you handsomely once I find the sect."
"Saving you was merely a moment of kindness from my younger sister; I didn't seek any reward from you." A clear, cold voice came from inside the tent, and a woman with dazzling golden hair and a face as serene as the moonlight emerged. Before this, Ye Xiruo hadn't detected her at all. Although Ye Xiruo's strength was now only at thirty percent, her spiritual power was still incredibly strong; she hadn't even detected the woman's figure. The woman possessed at least the peak of the Golden Core stage; for someone her age, achieving this was already quite remarkable.
"A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return. I am not a heartless or ungrateful person."
"You should hurry up and heal your wounds. If something happens, we might not be able to take care of you."
"I will take good care of myself."
The woman nodded slightly and went back into the tent. However, Ye Xiruo keenly noticed that after the woman came out, many people around her stared at her. Indeed, she was a very charming person.
The abbess Miejue glared fiercely at Ye Xiruo before turning and going into the tent. Ling Xue stuck out her tongue: "That's my sister. Aunt Ling meant no harm, please don't take offense."
Ye Xi shook his head.
"Where is this? Are there any branch halls of the Pill King Palace nearby?" Ye Xiruo asked, at least wanting to figure out her current situation.
"This is the endless desert of the Western Continent. The nearest branch of the Pill King Palace is a month's journey away."
"How can we return to the Central Continent?"
"Ride flying spirit beasts to several major cities, and then take flying spirit ships."
Ye Xiruo's lips twitched even more violently: "About what?"
"About six months."
Haha, flying for half a year is absolutely unbearable, but at such a long distance, she can't even contact her master, which is really heartbreaking.
"You don't need to worry too much, anyway, you've already saved your life," Ling Xue said, trying to sound profound as she comforted Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiruo indicated that she was not comforted.
It was getting late, so Ye Xiruo took her leave and returned to her carriage to meditate and recover her inner energy.
