Seeing that Fu Chishang's mouth was dry from talking, Fu Lizhi smiled helplessly and handed him a cup of tea. "Come and moisten your throat first. He is not only our father, but also the ruler of the gods. His majesty cannot be offended."
"In that case, it's fine for you to say it here, but remember not to speak recklessly outside. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, you'll inevitably suffer undeserved disaster," Fu Lizhi cautioned.
"I know, elder sister." Fu Chishang drank the tea in one gulp, still feeling unsatisfied, with a knot in her stomach.
It's one thing if that person doesn't like him, after all, he's disobeyed him since childhood and never listened to his teachings.
But his older sister had always been his obedient daughter, always listening to him and never contradicting him.
Although my sister went against his wishes this time, it shouldn't have warranted both divine punishment and imprisonment in the Valley of Bones.
"Don't be angry. It's not worth getting yourself sick from anger. You came all the way back just to see me? I'm fine, Achi, don't worry."
Fu Chishang took out the ball of spiritual energy and handed it to Fu Lizhi, saying, "Sister, take this ball of spiritual energy; it will help you recover from your injuries."
“I’m really fine,” Fu Lizhi said.
“Sister, this is something I found with great difficulty. Even if you are alright, this spiritual energy will still have other benefits for you.”
"Alright, alright, I can't let my Ah Chi's good intentions go to waste." Fu Lizhi took the spiritual source, which transformed into a stream of light and entered her body.
"Sister, how are you feeling?" Fu Chishang asked anxiously.
The book says there is no cure for the Aversion Cone, and this spiritual energy can only help my sister relieve the pain when the Aversion Cone attacks.
Fu Lizhi carefully sensed it and shook her head, saying, "I don't feel anything, but the surge of power within my body is much purer. I can tell that the spiritual source is a good thing. Ah Chi, thank you for your hard work."
"Ah Chi, now that you're here, sit down and chat with your older sister."
"Sister, I'm relieved to see you're alright. I have other things to attend to, I'll come visit you another day." After saying this, Fu Chishang hurriedly took his leave.
Fu Lizhi stared at Fu Chishang's departing figure and murmured, "Why does Achi seem so strange?"
Fu Chishang did not forget his promise to Ruan Xiyan, and he came to the Heavenly Pool in the God Realm.
Tianchi is located in a mountain spring with abundant divine power. The water in front of you is so clear that you can see your reflection.
However, Fu Chishang knew very well that the calm and still surface of Tianchi Lake was only its surface; its true nature was turbulent, dangerous, and mysterious.
"Your Highness, are you really going to step into the Heavenly Pool? Why don't I go and fetch the Rejuvenation Elixir for you?" Zi Ren couldn't help but persuade him. "The Rejuvenation Elixir is the essence nurtured by the Heavenly Pool."
"Although the Rejuvenation Elixir is extremely precious, the Heavenly Pool Water is incredibly dangerous. It can not only corrode the body, but also corrupt divine power."
"Even someone with the strength of a God-King would be severely injured if they stepped into the Heavenly Pool. Not to mention that Your Highness is not yet a God-King. Entering the Heavenly Pool would likely result in a near-death experience."
Fu Chishang looked at Ziren and said, "With your strength, wouldn't it be even more dangerous for you to enter Tianchi? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've finally managed to help Xiaoxi once, so no matter what, I will get my hands on the Rejuvenation Elixir."
Fu Chishang stared intently at the small amount of rejuvenating liquid that had condensed at the core of the gushing Heavenly Pool water.
"Wait for me here." As soon as Fu Chishang finished speaking, he stepped into the water of the Heavenly Pool.
In an instant, pain spread throughout my body.
Fu Chishang almost collapsed to his knees in the Heavenly Pool. He mobilized his divine power to resist, but the corrosive effect of the Heavenly Pool water rendered his divine power negligible.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step.
"Your Highness." Zi Ren looked at Fu Chi Shang with an anxious expression, his hands clenched together nervously.
Having traveled only a tenth of the distance, Fu Chishang seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
The "splashing" sound of the corroding body echoed in his ears, and his legs, which had been submerged in the Heavenly Pool, were already a bloody mess.
Suddenly, a force enveloped Fu Chishang from behind, pulling him out of the Heavenly Pool.
"Sister, what brings you here?" Fu Chishang asked in surprise after seeing who it was.
"You brat, are you out of your mind?!" Fu Lizhi shouted angrily, "Don't you know the power of the Heavenly Pool water? Those below the level of a God-King are forbidden from entering."
"Even someone at the God-King level would have to think twice before entering the Heavenly Pool. How many lives do you think you have to squander like this?" Fu Lizhi was furious and launched into a tirade of insults.
If she hadn't had her suspicions and worried that the boy was in such a hurry, she would have had someone investigate.
Otherwise, if she had arrived any later, this kid would not only have lost his legs, but he would have lost his life too.
Seeing that Fu Lizhi was angry, Fu Chishang lowered his head and did not dare to utter a word in rebuttal.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you come all the way to Tianchi?" Fu Lizhi asked in a deep voice.
"Xiaoxi needs the elixir of life, so I thought I'd get some from the Heavenly Pool for her."
"Xiao Xi?"
“Sister, you’ve met her before. She’s the little girl I saw at the Illusionary Hidden Sect in the cultivation continent last time.”
"It's that little girl who can use demonic energy." Fu Lizhi recalled the little girl's appearance in her mind, and her heart was slightly touched.
“Yes, sister, she can’t come to retrieve the Rejuvenation Elixir herself, but it’s very important to her, and I want to help her.”
"Zi Ren, you stay here and keep an eye on your Highness." After saying this, Fu Lizhi walked towards Tianchi.
"Sister, you..."
"With your limited abilities, you still want to retrieve the Life Essence? You keep everything bottled up inside. If you want the Life Essence back, why don't you just tell your sister? You insist on taking the risk yourself, which makes people worry."
“Although my elder sister’s strength has reached the level of a God-King, she can still get injured when she enters the Heavenly Pool. Moreover, she has been punished by the heavens before.” Fu Chishang helped Zi Ren up by the arm.
“My mind is made up, Ziren, take good care of him.” Fu Lizhi stepped into the waters of Tianchi.
Although she said she came to retrieve the life-saving liquid for Achi because she was afraid he would get hurt, she felt a strange sensation when she heard that it was the little girl who needed it.
The feeling was indescribable, and a voice deep inside her told her that she had to get the Rejuvenation Elixir intact; it seemed to be a very important thing, even though she didn't understand where this feeling came from.
The moment she entered Tianchi, Fu Lizhi clearly felt a burning pain in her body.
The water of Tianchi Lake could continuously corrode divine power. Most of the divine power she mobilized was corroded, and she could only use her divine body to withstand it.
An hour later, Fu Lizhi left the Heavenly Pool.
“Sister.” Fu Chishang stepped forward.
Fu Lizhi handed the jade bottle containing the resurrection elixir to Fu Chishang, saying, "Here you go."
"Thank you, elder sister." Fu Chishang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you like to come with me to see Xiaoxi?"
"Sister, although Xiaoxi has demonic energy in her body, she is a very good person. I don't think you will be prejudiced against her because of this."
