Chapter 78

==================

Ning Chen reacted very quickly. He snorted and said disdainfully, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could anything happen to me?"

Then Ning Chen pretended to turn his head away casually. Just when he was about to open his lips to say something to Xie Tingyun, he suddenly paused, and then fell silently in the direction of Xie Tingyun.

Xie Tingyun's pupils contracted instantly. He reached out to catch Ning Chen, only to find that Ning Chen's whole body was shaking unnoticeably, with cold sweat on his temples and his pupils were a little out of focus.

Xie Tingyun was shocked and confused. Ning Chen was clearly fine before, how come he suddenly became like this? !

Ning Chen stretched out his hands and grabbed Xie Tingyun's shoulders, and most of his body weight was pressed on Xie Tingyun. At this time, Ning Chen was still stubborn: "...No, no, I said it's okay."

Xie Tingyun said: "You still call this okay?!"

"...Oh, senior brother, don't be alarmed. It's not that serious. Just let me lean on you for a while." Ning Chen said, biting his tongue quietly and pushing the rusty blood to the corner of his lips, which accidentally dripped onto Xie Tingyun's snow-white shoulder garment.

Xie Tingyun's face turned pale.

Although Ning Shen's symptoms were not as severe as Tian Nan's, Xie Tingyun actually forgot that he was always very proud and stubborn, and he was the type of person who would never show anything!

The Mahayana practitioners around them all changed their expressions as they watched Xie Tingyun reach out and grab Ning Chen's jaw with a rare force, forcing him to open his mouth. Then Xie Tingyun quickly said to Daoming beside him, "Soul-Fixing Pill!"

At this moment, Xie Tingyun wished he could grow eight hands. He couldn't even take the elixir from the storage ring. It was not until this moment that Xie Tingyun suddenly remembered Tian Xiao's weird words to him in the inn outside the Ghost Realm.

It's better to save some money. When the time comes, a life can be saved and everyone will be happy.

Xie Tingyun looked at the blood on Ning Chen's lips, and the image that flashed before his eyes was Tiannan falling into a deep coma with blood still on the corners of his lips.

His hands were shaking, and he could hardly hold Ning Shen.

Ning Chen was forcibly lifted up by pinching his upper jaw. He groaned and frowned. Before he could resist, he saw Xie Tingyun's uneasy expression and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, he must have overacted. Why does Xie Tingyun have this expression?

Dao Ming, who was standing by, had stuffed all the pills in his hand into Ning Chen's mouth at lightning speed when Xie Tingyun pinched Ning Chen's mouth open, almost choking Ning Chen to death on the spot.

The other Mahayana cultivators handed Daoming their own reserve pills and said, "Keep stuffing. I see he can still eat. We must swallow them before he faints!"

Daoming uttered an "oh, oh" sound and hurriedly took the pill. Seeing that his hands could no longer hold it, he said in a low voice, "Wait, wait, take your time. I can't hold it any more!"

Then, several porcelain bottles with the corks removed were put into Ning Chen's mouth, and all the pills were poured into them simply and roughly.

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen struggled to turn his head away, and managed to swallow all the pills before he choked to death. The tip of his tongue was so painful from being bitten by him that Ning Chen's words were a little unclear: "No, you...wait..."

Xie Tingyun no longer listened to him. He reached out and pulled Ning Chen back, saying, "Are you still awake? It's good that you're awake, but don't fall asleep."

Ning Shen didn't know what made these Mahayana practitioners so powerful, but he knew that the movements of these old guys in reaching out to take the medicine, uncorking the bottle and pouring the medicine were extremely fast.

Ning Chen had just been pulled back by Xie Tingyun, and several porcelain bottles with the mouths opened were thrown into his mouth. Ning Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore, and turned his head and said, "Wake up! Wake up!! Don't try to fix my soul, I'm awake, can you calm down? You are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, can you calm down?!"

But it was impossible for the people present to believe Ning Shen.

Tiannan is in that state, how could Ningchen, a little guy in the Jindan stage, be okay?

Do young people nowadays like to be so stubborn?

Xie Tingyun's hand was pulled free, so he raised his hand to check Ning Chen's breath, but Ning Chen grabbed his hand.

Ning Chen grabbed Xie Tingyun's hand and pressed it firmly against his neck, allowing him to feel his still strong beating pulse.

This was not enough, Ning Chen continued to hold Xie Tingyun's hand, and this time moved it to his heart, allowing him to feel the heavy and steady beating from his heart.

Ning Chen looked at Xie Tingyun's pale face, as he silently and tremblingly tested whether he was dead or alive. For some reason, he felt a little guilty.

Obviously Ning Shen overacted.

Ning Chen sighed and said, "Brother, you have given me so many magical medicines that a dead person can be revived, not to mention the injuries to the soul. Save the good ones for yourself."

Xie Tingyun stared at him closely without saying a word, his breathing was disordered and he could not calm down for a long time.

Daoming was also stunned for a moment. Ning Chen's performance was too different from Tiannan's condition. If Tiannan's condition was that his soul was severely damaged, then Ning Chen's soul was just scratched a few times. It was painful and hurtful, but the degree was unexpectedly light.

In contrast, Ning Chen was neither unconscious nor had he lost his five senses. He was completely lucid, able to speak stubbornly and curse, and his logic and sanity were still there. It was obvious that he was not in a dying state.

Daoming was slightly relieved, but still asked uncertainly: "My friend, don't be so stubborn. Look how scared Tingyun is."

Xie Tingyun continued to look at Ning Chen without saying a word.

Ning Chen coughed lightly with guilt, and for the first time did not refute, and said: "Yes. My soul strength is different from that of ordinary people, so it is not that serious. In addition, the elixir you took out must be extraordinary. It would be useless if I can't save it."

After saying that, Xie Tingyun stretched out his hand and pressed Ning Chen into his arms.

“…”

Ning Chen was stunned.

Their chests were pressed against each other, and Ning Chen's chin rested on Xie Tingyun's shoulder. It was not until then that Ning Chen realized that even Xie Tingyun's shoulders were shaking.

He even had the illusion that Xie Tingyun's heartbeat was even more intense than his, and his breathing was deep and shallow, obviously not very stable.

Ning was silent for a moment, raised his hand and placed it on Xie Tingyun's thin back, and said, "Okay, Senior Brother. This time it's really okay, you won't die. Believe me."

Xie Tingyun closed his eyes and whispered, "When can I trust your words?"

Hey.

Although Xie Tingyun had grasped the essence, Ning Chen would never admit: "I can believe it at any time."

Seeing that Ning Chen was indeed alive and well, the Mahayana practitioners also relaxed without noticing.

Yu Qing touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Fellow Daoist Xie, don't worry too much. When you get out of the ghost realm, just take your junior brother back and take good care of him. Seeing how lively he is now, he is still a long way from death."

Daoming comforted him, "After all, it is just a scene created by the evil formation. Even if the damage at that time can be projected one-to-one, the golden elixir at that time is not at the same level as the golden elixir now. I guess you, Junior Brother, have not been lazy in your daily cultivation."

Ning Chen said, "Yes, that's right. I have been in seclusion for hundreds of years, how can I not be diligent?"

Afterwards, Ning's deep voice lowered again, and he said in Xie Tingyun's ear: "Okay, Senior Brother, it's really alright. If you don't believe me, lock me up in Yunfeng Pavilion when you get back, and don't let me out until I'm completely healed."

Xie Tingyun was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "Since you can escape once, you can escape a second time."

"..." Ning Chen sighed, and rubbed Xie Tingyun's face without any hesitation, which made his stiff and blank expression more relaxed. "Let's put things aside. I told you to wait, brother. I'm coming out to find you now."

Ning Chen said, "I always keep my word. If I say I will run away, I will run away. If I say I won't run away, I won't run away."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

That does seem to be the case.

Yu Qing looked at Ning Chen's expression and couldn't help but sigh: "The young generation nowadays have already reached this level? Thank you, fellow Daoist, the strength of your sect really should not be underestimated."

"That's right. Even I had to take a long time to recover after being hit like this. This Jindan fellow is almost catching up with me."

Xie Tingyun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He finally knew where that lingering strange feeling came from.

No matter how unexpectedly strong Ning Shen's soul is, no matter how strong it is, it is impossible for it to cross so many realms and be on par with the Mahayana.

Xie Tingyun initially thought that when Ning Chen said that his soul was stronger, he meant that his soul had experienced a transformation in time and space and came to a new world. Naturally, the strength of his soul was different from that of the monks who were born and raised in the plane world.

However, if it is said that after experiencing the transformation of time and space, the strength of the soul can be comparable to or even surpass the Mahayana soul of this world, that is obviously incredible.

And if Xie Tingyun remembered correctly, when he was hastily injecting spiritual power into Ning Chen, Ning Chen woke up earlier than him.

…The soul strength of a Jindan stage cultivator could actually reach this level. Not only did he survive the soul search that Tiannan couldn't withstand, but his symptoms were even milder than those of this group of Mahayana cultivators.

The action of Ning Shen falling on him just now seemed like an act.

Xie Tingyun was a Mahayana Great Perfectionist. He even suppressed his state of mind and practiced in the Great Perfection for many years, just to accumulate a lot of knowledge so that when he advanced to the state of Nirvana, he would be more calm and confident of victory.

...Ning Chen actually woke up faster than him!

If he were to say that Demon Lord Tianxiao was here, Xie Tingyun would still believe it without a doubt.

Ning Chen looked at the change in Xie Tingyun's expression and thought to himself that something was wrong.

He was able to deceive a bunch of Mahayana practitioners who were unfamiliar to him, but he couldn't deceive Xie Tingyun.

Xie Tingyun valued his junior fellow apprentice so much, and was also very clear about the strength of his "junior fellow apprentice". If Ma Jia's cultivation was not so far behind, Ning Chen might have been able to get away with it in front of Xie Tingyun.

However, Ning Chen had no choice now and could only continue pretending.

Who told the damn original owner not to make a powerful puppet? Who can play with a Jindan-stage cultivation level? !
