The feeling of being overwhelmed by that strange power caused her immense pain, and her cultivation speed immediately slowed down.
She gritted her teeth, constantly reminding herself to stay calm and persevere!
Despite her pale face and trembling body, she did not give up and continued to practice the techniques recorded in the "Ling Shu Jue".
"puff!"
Perhaps due to excessive consumption of her vital energy, Xu Yuehuai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
She lay in a pool of blood, her fingers trembling, her eyes swollen, unable to get up.
"Cough cough cough! As expected of a fragmented scroll, it really can't be successfully cultivated."
However, she felt that she had already grasped the key to the "Ling Shu Jue" and that if she refined it further, she would definitely be able to fill in the missing parts.
So, Xu Yuehuai lay quietly on the ground, regulated her breathing, and recalled what she had just learned.
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a pale pink flame ignited around her, illuminating the dried blood around her. The scattered sparks around her gathered into a strange power, which merged together and entered her brow.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Yuehuai seemed to hear a firework exploding in his mind, and suddenly he understood the incomplete part of the "Ling Shu Jue".
"Oh, I see!" she said with a smile.
In an instant, her body slowly floated in the air, strange magical power flowing through her fingertips, wisps of magical power drifting in the air like free waves.
The power of the magic absorbed from the air eventually receded, enveloping Xu Yuehuai and transferring its power to her.
Xu Yuehuai let out a low roar, and the power within her body continued to surge, making her body feel like a balloon about to burst.
"Enough! Stop it!"
She tried to stop the power of the magic, but by then everything was out of her control.
The power of the Rose quickly consumed her entire being, and she was merely a mold that contained that power.
No! She didn't want to become a walking corpse!
She still has very important things to do!
There are still very important people I haven't met!
"Aze! Where are you? I long to see you again!"
Her pale lips trembled as she uttered each word, but Qi Guze was just a door away from her and couldn't hear her at all.
"Ah Yue? Is that you?"
Outside the door, Qi Guze felt a kind of summons. He immediately knelt down by the door and called out to Xu Yuehuai.
Even after shouting until his voice was hoarse, he didn't receive a single response.
"Ah Yue! Are you having any trouble? I'm here! I'm right here! Don't try to handle this all by yourself, okay? Come out, come to my side! I'll help you solve it!"
Qi Guze pounded on the door repeatedly, but there was still no response from inside.
Suddenly, he saw a sliver of pink light emerge from the crack in the door and come to his side, as if beckoning him inside. That ray of light gave him a particularly warm and welcoming feeling.
Qi Guze instantly grasped the pink light, and the power within his body began to be uncontrollably absorbed by the pink light.
"Hiss..." The power within him suddenly plummeted, and his whole body convulsed.
"This is... Aze's aura!" Inside the secret room, Xu Yuehuai sensed Qi Guze's aura emanating from the pink threads, and she was shocked and heartbroken.
"Aze! Let's go! Don't stay here any longer!"
Xu Yuehua tried to tear off the pink silk threads binding her body, but the threads tightened and burrowed into her flesh, cutting into her body while also nourishing it.
Drops of blood fell to the ground, blooming into dazzling yet terrifying flowers.
Xu Yuehuai's consciousness gradually blurred, and her struggles weakened considerably until finally, she completely lost her strength and was utterly restrained by the pink threads.
And the power within the silk thread was finally given to her completely the moment she lost consciousness.
Outside the door, Qi Guze also collapsed. He leaned against the stone door and slowly sat down on the ground.
"Ah Yue, I hope you're alright."
Even when Qi Guze was unconscious, a faint smile remained on his lips.
Time flies, and the seasons change.
On this day, Xu Yuehuai woke up.
As soon as she stood up, she found that her body was incredibly light, as if she would float away after taking a few steps.
Am I dreaming?
She couldn't believe it was all real. She pinched her face and felt the pain before she could barely believe it.
Then, she jumped around a few more times and was surprised to find that she could jump very high without using any light-body skills.
"Is this the true effect of the Ling Shu Technique? Cleansing the marrow and emptying the body?"
Xu Yuehuai was immediately delighted. After reading the "Ling Shu Jue", she realized that there were many hidden functions in it, and perhaps many special effects could be discovered in the future.
She quickly put away the fragments of the "Ling Shu Jue" and then cleaned up the secret room.
After meditating and regulating her breathing for a while, she found that the restless energy in her body had subsided, but it didn't seem to have disappeared. It was just compressed into a small corner, but if something unexpected happened, it might cause another "bloodbath".
But her current situation is already considered good, after all, she managed to save her life in a critical moment.
After realizing that there was no way to completely eliminate dissidents, she could only open the secret room and prepare to go back first and think of other methods later.
"Clang!"
The secret room has been opened.
Xu Yuehuai saw through the crack in the door that a white-haired man was lying in a pool of blood.
"Aze! It's you?"
The moment she saw Qi Guze, she remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness. She quickly went forward, picked up Qi Guze, and took his pulse.
"Your body is severely weakened! Aze, I'll take you back!"
Xu Yuehuai, fighting back tears, hugged him and quickly left the place.
Back at the Regent's Palace, Xu Yuehuai placed Qi Guze in a medicinal bath tub and arranged for someone to prepare the bath.
"Aze, you will get better." Xu Yuehuai held Qi Guze's hand and continuously channeled the power within her body into him, but she discovered something particularly terrifying.
No matter how much power she exerts, it always returns to her own body!
How could this be? Has her connection with Qi Guze been severed?
Xu Yuehuai immediately summoned a bodyguard and tried to transfer her power to him, but the result was the same; she couldn't transfer her power to anyone at all!
Is this also the effect of the "Ling Shu Jue"?
Xu Yuehuai was somewhat troubled, but she couldn't dwell on these things now; she needed to get Qi Guze treated as soon as possible.
After several days without sleep and working non-stop to treat Qi Guze, his body temperature gradually returned to normal.
That day, Xu Yuehuai finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep next to Qi Guze.
"Ah Yue..." Qi Guze opened his eyes and called out to Xu Yuehuai first.
But Xu Yuehuai was sound asleep and did not hear his calls.
