it works!
The power of the Flowing Flame enveloped the princess, making it extremely sensitive to changes in her body.
Despite still suppressing the true energy within her body, she suddenly felt a strong heartbeat.
The bond between true qi and life force... has loosened?
"Hidden stalks, draw your sword!"
Drawing the sword rashly could have unpredictable consequences, so Liu Yan kept it still.
Realizing that Qin Zhaoyue's true energy was indeed effective, he made a decision.
"Here it comes," Yin Zhe reminded him, gripping the hilt of the knife and slowly pulling it outwards to minimize vibration.
As this process progressed, Qin Zhaoyue's true energy surged at an unprecedented speed, with most of it flowing towards her abdomen.
Hidden Insect's hand was extremely steady, minimizing the damage from the pulling.
He stared at the short sword, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
The magistrate was old and had no cultivation. Even if he was bewitched by the sorcerer, he could not possibly unleash a power that did not belong to him.
Upon seeing the dagger in its entirety, she finally understood why it had pierced through armor and plunged into her abdomen; the blade was made entirely of black steel.
Her gaze shifted again, and Yin Zhe froze on the spot. She saw that the wound on the princess's abdomen was beginning to close at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although I had seen Pei Xueqiao's wounds before, it was still hard to believe that I was witnessing the treatment process firsthand.
Even a martial artist who specializes in healing techniques... could they achieve this level?
Absolutely impossible!
Liu Yan's sensory feedback was more subtle and direct. He could clearly see the flesh on his abdomen writhing wildly, as if it couldn't wait to repair the injury immediately.
this……
Qin Zhaoqiong's abdominal wound was much more serious than Pei Xueqiao's, and it took more than thirty breaths for it to completely close and scab over.
But to Liu Yan and Yin Zhe, this speed was nothing short of a miracle.
After the abdominal injury was healed, the true energy spread out again.
As this process unfolds, Qin Zhaoqiong's life force is rapidly being awakened, the bond between her and her true qi is loosening, and the bluish-purple color on her face is fading.
Everything was moving in a positive direction, and just when everyone thought a quick recovery was imminent, this progress suddenly stalled.
"What's wrong? Is your internal energy running low?"
Qin Zhaoyue frowned but did not reply.
Although the amount of true energy output in a short period of time is indeed enormous, it is not to the point of being unsustainable.
At this point, she still had about a quarter of her body remaining, but she also sensed something was wrong.
Just now, the true energy was flowing freely into my elder sister's body, like pouring water into a bottle. Once you find the right opening, it's just a matter of pouring. But now, that smooth feeling is completely gone.
Not only that, the true energy no longer flows spontaneously, as if it has suddenly lost its target.
Like a salted fish without dreams, it lazily wandered aimlessly inside its elder sister's body.
They have absolutely no discipline and are extremely undisciplined.
"Perhaps, I need to rest."
After a while without any improvement, Qin Zhaoyue had no choice but to put her hands away.
Yin Zhe and Liu Yan didn't say anything. The princess's complexion was much better than before, which meant that there was hope for a cure.
The Sixth Princess is probably just too tired and needs some time to recover her energy.
After instructing the two to take good care of her elder sister, Qin Zhaoyue left the temporary shelter.
"Your Highness!"
The crowd waited at the door, and when they saw Qin Zhaoyue, they quickly went to greet her.
Yao Guang knelt on one knee. "Your Highness, it is my fault for failing to protect you properly."
Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand. In that situation, unless a Divine Martial Realm martial artist was present, even a fourth-rank martial artist would have been of no use.
"You've done your best. Get up. Are there any more tents? I need to rest."
"Yes, please follow me."
Sui Mo stepped forward and instinctively grasped the Sixth Princess's hand. "Your Highness, are you injured?"
Other members of the ink group also immediately posted, their concern evident in their words.
They were different from Yao Guang, who had accompanied them all the way.
This prince was completely different from the rumors; he didn't cause much trouble and rarely criticized his guards.
Aside from being a bit greedy, lazy, and indolent, he was an excellent master; beyond his duties, there was naturally some affection between them.
Before he could answer, Meng Jian rushed over, "Your Highness, are you injured?"
The same question, Qin Zhaoyue had something on her mind, so she just forced a smile and said, "I'm not injured, it's just that I've used up too much of my true energy and I'm a little tired."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If anything had happened to the Sixth Prince, they would all have been held responsible.
Meng Jian clenched his fists, exhaled a breath of stale air, and relaxed his tense body.
He was in charge of accompanying and protecting her, yet he allowed the princess to fall into a life-threatening situation right under his nose.
Although they were excluded, the caution shown by the two Xuanji Guards was enough to indicate that the Eldest Princess's condition was not optimistic! Fortunately, the Sixth Princess was unharmed...
They are now in a locust forest, where the Imperial Guards, having recovered, are building a temporary camp using local materials.
Sui Mo led her to a tent to the side, where a rope was strung between two locust trees and covered with tung oil cloth.
"The Xuanji Guards are here at the camp, so you don't need to stay and guard. Hurry up and find the rest of the people, especially Ping An, he..."
Qin Zhaoyue was speechless. She didn't know if Ping An could swim, she only knew that he grew up in Fengjing.
Such a large man, without any cultivation, if he couldn't swim, would be in serious trouble in this raging water...
Qin Zhaoyue sighed dejectedly, "I'll do my best."
"yes……"
Sui Mo dared not truly refuse to keep her, and watched as the Sixth Princess entered the simple tent, while she personally guarded the door.
Yao Guang quickly recovered some of his inner energy and then led the team to search for the remaining members.
The tent was dimly lit, with a tree stump on the ground large enough for one person to sit on.
My clothes were soaked through and clung to my body, feeling sticky and uncomfortable, but there was no way to change them right now.
After Qin Zhaoyue sat down, she immediately closed her eyes and mentally communicated with the Book of Merits in her mind.
"What's wrong with you? What ability do you have that you can't just tell me directly?"
"A cheat code should act like a cheat code. You've already chosen me, so why are you hiding it? Answer me!"
"Huh? Why can my true energy heal injuries? What exactly was the gift package you gave me in the first place? Answer me!"
"Look in my eyes!"
...
Qin Zhaoyue cursed and yelled at the tattered book, but it remained unmoved, as if it were a dead object.
Opening the first page, it was the same old story, nothing had changed. I turned the pages one by one.
Aside from her initial fundraising methods in Fengjing, Mingyan County was the highlight of her water management efforts, where she accumulated considerable merit points.
However, in Chiyan County later on, she only offered a useless suggestion for treating the illness, and the construction of walls and canals were also irrelevant to her. She was only left behind as a supervisor, but not very attentive to it.
Therefore, the merit gained from Chiyan County is almost negligible and not enough to advance to the fourth rank.
Um?
Turning to the end, Qin Zhaoyue finally noticed something amiss.
How could this be? How could this happen!
