Chapter 21 It Hurts Me to Death
Jun Chao squatted down considerately, "I'll protect you."
"I'm worried if you stay here alone in case something unexpected happens."
The three of them looked at each other, and Bei Qi came closer, "I won't leave either, I want to stay with my baby."
You're kidding. If we leave the sword spirit here alone, what if he runs away? It's even more dangerous to let Jun Chao stay with him alone. What if this grandson tricks the sword spirit into changing its owner?
He Cen didn't bother to care about the four people's thoughts of hindering each other.
This mysterious cold spring was easy to find after entering the secret place. It was inside a cave. He Cen jumped in directly to soak in it. He had the cultivation techniques left by the sword spirit in his mind and knew how to regulate himself. Cultivation was indeed the kingly way in the world of cultivation, and restoring combat power was more important than anything else.
The little sword spirit stopped talking, and the four of them stopped doing anything specific and went to meditate and practice.
Each person took a position and surrounded He Cen from all directions without any blind spots.
This period of soul-nurturing lasted for half a year. If Jun Chao and others had not been able to detect He Cen's breath, they would probably have been unable to sit still.
The Xuanbing Cold Spring is a good thing, a hundred times more effective than the spiritual spring that Jun Chao kept for himself in the Jueyue Pavilion to cleanse his meridians. The four of them didn't care about it at first, but later they went in to soak in it and found that the effect was indeed very significant. It is extremely difficult to break through the realm after the fusion period, and every step must be taken firmly.
Although this cold spring does not have the ultimate effect of breaking through the realm, it is very good in helping them expel some spiritual impurities that have settled in their bodies.
We have been practicing for so many years and have encountered countless battles. Even if we don't have hidden injuries, there must be other hidden dangers. Especially for warmongers like Bo Lou, he has accumulated a lot of old injuries in his body.
The cold spring was very effective. The four of them were equally strong and could spar with each other from time to time, so they didn't fall behind in progress.
He Cen didn't know how long he had been cultivating his soul. He woke up once in the middle and talked to a few people, then went back to cultivating his spiritual body.
In a flash, more than half a year had passed. After the people in Bo Lou had become more stable thanks to Leng Quan's realm, He Cen finally made some moves again.
"Jun Chao!"
The people soaking in the cold spring quickly closed their eyes and said, "Yes."
"How are you? Are you feeling better?"
He Cen felt stronger after hearing this. "Very good. My body is with you. Take it out and get it ready."
Jun Chao was stunned. "Soak the Guichuan Sword in cold spring water? Your body is seriously injured. Although the cold spring water is effective, it is very dangerous for you."
What he said was right. It was indeed so. The cold spring had a better effect on cultivators with higher cultivation levels. People like Jun Chao were already in the fusion stage. Their bodies had been hammered and tempered time and time again when they broke through the realm. The bone-chilling cold of the cold spring had a cleansing effect on them, but it was fatal to those low-level cultivators.
Especially for cultivators below the foundation building stage, if they jumped in, they would probably be dissolved by the cold spring immediately.
The Guichuan Sword was already in tatters. Soaking in the cold spring at this time was like pouring sulfuric acid on a piece of iron. It was terrifying.
Several others also advised, He Cen smiled, "I know, so remember, just soak for three breaths."
"Bei Qi, hold me. Once I successfully transform, pull me out of the pond immediately."
"Please~ Thank you for protecting me. I will find you a baby when I get better~"
The little sword spirit was so polite, and of course they were very happy. Although they were trying to please the sword spirit, they didn't care about it, but it would be better if He Cen got close to them and had a good relationship with them~
After hearing his arrangement, Jun Chao and Bei Qi quickly got ready. He Cen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay even if it hurts. Bei Qi, you must pull me up. I'm very afraid of pain."
Bei Qi smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, baby, we have these two killer gods next to us. Can three people not hold you back?"
Wen Qing and Bo Lou beside them nodded.
Jun Chao has already taken out the Guichuan Sword. After such a long time, the sword is still badly damaged, dull and looks very shabby. To anyone who looks at it, it looks like a pile of broken copper and iron. Who would dare to think that it is the Guichuan Sword.
He Cen did not forget to make amends for himself, "Don't look at it like this now, it will be very beautiful after I fix it!"
"There is definitely no sword more beautiful than mine in the entire cultivation world!"
Jun Chao smiled at the others. He could tell that the little sword spirit was nervous, so he kept talking so much.
They waited patiently for a while until He Cen adjusted his mood before taking action.
The Guichuan Sword is indeed a divine sword. After soaking in the cold spring, it did not show any reaction, but only emitted a faint golden light all over its body.
Then there was a cry of pain, and Bei Qi rolled up his tail, and He Cen was wrapped up in an instant.
Everyone lowered their eyes, their gazes focused on the wet figure kneeling on the ground beside the spring. Bei Qi just wanted to act cute and please the sword spirit to transform into a human body, but what he saw was bloodstains all over.
He Cen's body was covered with wounds of varying sizes, caused by countless sharp weapons. It was unknown how many battles he had been through. From head to toe, there was hardly a single spot of healthy skin on his body.
In a short while, the thin shirt he was wearing was completely stained with blood.
He Cen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and turned over with all his strength. He felt so painful that his eyes went dark. He burst into tears out of grievance, "Damn, it hurts so much."
The few people finally came to their senses and quickly carried him into the inner hall of the cave.
"Little sword spirit, little sword spirit, hold on!"
"Have you guys brought medicine?"
The four of them began to frantically search their wallets, taking out the best things at the bottom of their boxes as if they were free.
Although the wounds all over his body looked serious, fortunately none of them were fatal. We cleaned and bandaged his wounds carefully. It was a chaotic process that lasted the whole morning.
Hecen had already fainted and fallen into a deep sleep.
Everyone felt relieved and heaved a sigh of relief. They carefully wiped He Cen's face, and after pushing aside her long light blonde hair, Jun Chao's hand paused slightly.
Bei Qi, who was lying on his side next to He Cen, also took a deep breath, and immediately hugged He Cen who was sleeping and kissed him on the cheek, "Oh my god, our little sword spirit is so pretty!"
The fox spirit acted recklessly, which annoyed the remaining three people who glared at him.
"Bei Qi!"
"What are you doing? You can't kiss me, so you scare me? Am I afraid of you?"
Before he could finish his words, he was knocked over by Bo Lou. Wen Qing was also very angry, and the four of them attacked and directly collapsed the inner hall.
Fortunately, a protective cover was left to protect the place where Hecen slept.
Jun Chao didn't know what he was feeling, but he was furious. He was furious at the moment, "What are you doing! He is a sword spirit!"
Bei Qisi didn't think she was wrong at all, "So what? What's wrong with the sword spirit? I just like him. As long as he is willing, I will give my life to him!"
"What are you three so angry about?"
"I haven't asked him to recognize me as my master yet, why are you so anxious?"
