Chapter 117 - Mutual Love and Mutual Appreciation
The moment their fingertips touched, the light of the Heart Talisman seemed to be injected with new vitality, suddenly brightening for a moment!
A gentle yet tenacious idea of talismans, along with the touch of his fingertips, was clearly transmitted to Chu Linyuan's mind!
That was Xie Zhao's thought, weak after waking up, but full of vigorous vitality and the spirit of talismans!
Chu Linyuan's fingers trembled slightly as if they were burned, but he did not retract them.
He felt the warm talisman light pulsating under his fingertips, and felt the vitality and thoughts transmitted from him with the breath of Xie Zhao. The corners of his cold mouth twitched upwards almost imperceptibly and extremely slightly.
The arc is so subtle that it seems like an illusion, but it really exists.
"Yeah." A cold voice sounded, only one syllable, but it seemed to contain thousands of words - confirming his safety, responding to his teasing, and also... acquiescing to this silent touch and protection.
"Second Brother!!"
Su Tang, Tie Niu and Bai Xiaolu surrounded them instantly.
Luo Hongyi's fingertips once again released a mild poison mist, carefully examining Xie Zhao's condition. A genuine smile finally appeared on her beautiful face. "You've got a tough life! From now on, I'll just change my name to Xie Xiaoqiang!"
Tie Niu wanted to clap Xie Zhao's shoulder with his huge palm to celebrate, but was glared back by Luo Hongyi. He could only scratch his head and smile foolishly: "Hehe! It's good that you woke up! It's good that you woke up! I knew that Second Brother was blessed with a long life! He always gets hurt the most seriously, and it's always like that."
White Deer held the rabbit in his arms, his clear eyes filled with joy. Moon-Eating Rabbit also purred at Xie Zhao.
The moment everyone gathered around him, Chu Linyuan naturally withdrew the fingers that were touching the heart talisman and also withdrew the palm that was pressing in the air.
He stood up slowly, his movements stiff from recovering from a serious injury and from overdrawing his strength.
He no longer looked at Xie Zhao, his cold eyes swept over everyone, and he returned to his usual calm and unquestionable demeanor:
"He needs to rest, stabilize his mind, and recover his spirit."
"I will take over the talisman formation."
"Luo Hongyi, prepare the soul-solidifying decoction."
"Iron Ox, alert."
"Su Tang, Xiao Lu, clean up the place."
The words were concise and made clear arrangements for Xie Zhao, who had just woken up and was still in a weak and excited state.
"Hey! Senior brother! I..." Xie Zhao struggled to sit up and express his determination to fight again, but he gasped because of a feeling of emptiness in his body.
"Lie down!" Chu Linyuan's cold gaze swept over, with unquestionable majesty, "If you keep making noise, I'll silence you."
Xie Zhao instantly wilted, lying flat on his back obediently, but he refused to suffer any loss and muttered softly: "...you're so aggressive right after waking up...you throw it away after you're done with it...Brother Bingzha..."
Chu Linyuan seemed not to hear and turned to walk towards the core of the talisman formation.
His steps were steady, but as attentive as Luo Hongyi and Su Tang were, they noticed that on the back of his black robe, there were extremely fine, newly seeped dark red hues at the edges of several burn marks that had been torn by the chaotic evil spirit before - that was the price of forcibly suppressing the backlash of the dragon evil spirit and the continuous output.
Uncle Chen's broom squeaked behind them. Bent over, he slowly swept the dust from the stone steps where everyone had gathered.
The cloudy old eyes swept over Xie Zhao who was lying down obediently, and then swept over Chu Linyuan who was walking towards the talisman formation with a straight back but could not hide his fatigue. He let out an almost inaudible snort from his nose, as if to say: It's finally all quiet.
In the following days, Guixu Sect entered a short period of recuperation and strength accumulation.
Chu Linyuan sat at the core of the talisman formation. He didn't rush to refine the vast Dragon Evil Essence within his body. Instead, he first channeled the power of the talisman formation, combining it with his own pure Mysterious Ice Evil Qi to continuously stabilize and repair the defense system of the Immortal Killing Square.
Each time he strengthened the talisman, he meticulously combed and mastered his newfound power. The dragon pattern on his left cheek remained ferocious, but no longer wavered uncontrollably. Like a tamed beast, it held within it a terrifying power.
The Immortal-Slaying Spear hovered at his side, its tip gleaming with a cold light, experiencing the accumulation and transformation of power alongside its master. The God-Slaying Realm, Dragon Evil, steadily ascended towards a higher level.
Xie Zhaoze became a key protected person. Luo Hongyi ordered him to lie down in the hall on a soft mat covered with star-patterned grass (contributed by Su Tang) to rest.
In addition to taking the soul-solidifying decoction carefully prepared by Luo Hongyi every day, which was a mixture of the essence of Star Tear Grass and the origin of Chen Ji's poison (Xie Zhao himself said that it was really hard to drink and he would never try to be brave next time), the most important thing was to sink his mind into the body to guide and nourish the "Soul-Guiding Lamp" heart talisman that saved his life.
This heart talisman is based on his body, guided by Chu Linyuan's power, and integrated with the origin of his talisman art. It is extremely mysterious.
Xie Zhao discovered that when his mind immersed in the Heart Talisman and guided the Talisman's power to flow and nourish himself, the pure evil spirit gathered from the square's Talisman Array, and even the violent evil spirit belonging to the God Burial Abyss above his head, which was mostly isolated but still existed, would be attracted by the Heart Talisman and blend into the Talisman's light bit by bit!
