As the vibrant spiritual energy was controlled by Lu Qing, it surged towards Ye Qingzhu and the others.
Soon, the injuries on their bodies began to heal rapidly, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course, simply treating external injuries is far from enough.
The most troublesome injuries to Ye Qingzhu and the others are to their internal organs, meridians, and dantian.
The beasts guarding the ancient tower were so powerful that they almost destroyed their physical bodies.
The fact that I've survived until now is because the life force of someone at the Golden Core stage is strong enough.
Therefore, Lu Qing still needs to heal their internal injuries.
He took out the magic needles and lightly tapped his feet. Suddenly, the array on the ground generated a force that gently lifted Ye Qingzhu and the other three into the air.
He released his mental energy, and under the powerful influence of his divine soul, the injuries inside the four people were fully reflected in his perception.
He made a hand seal, and a large number of magical needles flew up and hovered beside him. Under his mental command, they pierced the acupoints on the bodies of Ye Qingzhu and the other three.
After protecting the four people's life force with a golden needle array, Lu Qing then condensed his magic power into threads and entered their bodies, using his four hands to help repair their damaged meridians.
"He's healing four people at the same time?"
Outside the magic array, all the disciples of the Qiankun Sect were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Even Qin Zheng, who was at the eighth level of the Golden Core realm, was stunned.
They were all too aware of the severity of Ye Qingzhu's and the others' injuries.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that most of his body was already on the verge of death.
They had originally expected that even if Lu Qing had amazing medical skills, treating Ye Qingzhu and the other three would be a very careful and time-consuming process.
Unexpectedly, he had to heal four people at the same time.
"Just as Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others said, this Fellow Daoist Chen's medical skills are truly miraculous."
After a while, Qin Zheng came to his senses and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"I told you long ago, Brother Chen's medical skills are superb!"
Chu Xiaojing stood to the side, head held high, looking very proud.
"Yes, now, Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others are truly saved."
Although separated by a magic array, Qin Zheng and the others could still see it.
With Lu Qing's help, Ye Qingzhu and the others' complexions improved significantly. They were no longer as pale and haggard as before, with almost no sign of life.
They immediately realized that the injuries of the group were healing rapidly.
"Fellow Daoist Chen's medical skills are truly remarkable."
The Five Treasures Taoist was equally astonished.
The medical skills that Lu Qing is now displaying are not only astonishing, but also something that he has never heard of before.
Then, thinking back to Lu Qing's various skills.
This made him wonder if there was anything this person couldn't do.
Lu Qing had no time to understand what the others were thinking.
He was intently and carefully smoothing out the mess of meridians in Ye Qingzhu and the others' bodies.
This was an incredibly delicate task, and even he dared not be distracted while treating four people at the same time.
As time went by, Lu Qing slowly repaired the damaged meridians and acupoints in the bodies of the several people one by one.
Finally, when the last meridian was repaired, Ye Qingzhu and the others trembled. Their originally dull and lifeless golden cores of magical power finally regained a glimmer of light and began to operate instinctively, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy within the formation.
In this way, their injuries healed much faster.
The vitality of a Golden Core Realm expert is incredibly strong. As long as their mana and Golden Core can still circulate, their life force will not perish and they can recover quickly.
Conversely, if one is so severely injured that they cannot even activate their magic core, or even if it is shattered, then they are truly in dire straits.
Once the meridians and acupoints are repaired, the magical energy and golden elixir resume operation, and the injuries continue to improve.
Finally, the consciousness of Ye Qingzhu and the others, which had long been on the verge of death, began to slowly awaken.
"Where is this place? Didn't I die at the hands of the strange beast guarding the ancient tower? And what about Fellow Daoist Chen?"
Ye Qingzhu opened her eyes, still looking confused.
When her gaze fell on Lu Qing, she was startled at first, but then gradually regained her composure.
In addition, I have come to a clear understanding of my current situation.
He immediately understood: "So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist Chen, you saved me once again?"
"I was trapped in this secret realm and originally intended to seek help from your sect, but I didn't expect to encounter Miss Ye and your group, who were seriously injured. So I did my best to treat your injuries," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Chen has saved our lives time and time again, pulling us back from the brink of death. Zixiao truly doesn't know how to repay such a great kindness."
Zi Xiao, who had also regained consciousness, was filled with gratitude.
"Unfortunately, my medical skills are still not good enough to help Fellow Daoist Zixiao recover your right arm."
Although the vitality of those in the Golden Core Realm is strong, it still hasn't reached the point where severed limbs can regenerate.
However, the cost of regenerating severed limbs of someone at the Golden Core stage is considerable.
Whether it's elixirs or spiritual medicines, only those of very high grade can achieve this.
Although Lu Qing possessed spiritual medicine of that caliber, he had already done more than enough by saving the person, and he didn't want to be taken advantage of again.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, why do you say that? It’s already a great fortune for Zixiao to have escaped with her life. How could she dare to ask for more?” Zixiao quickly replied.
Ye Qingzhu and Zixiao thanked Lu Qing, while the other two Qiankun Sect disciples remained bewildered.
They were still somewhat confused about the current situation.
However, Lu Qing didn't give them time to dwell on it. Instead, he reminded them, "You've just woken up. You should focus on healing your injuries and recovering as quickly as possible. Don't let the spiritual energy in this formation go to waste."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu and the others noticed that their surroundings were filled with a very dense spiritual energy.
Moreover, this spiritual energy is vibrant and full of life force.
Upon hearing Lu Qing say that this was a strange spiritual energy he had generated using a magic array, none of them dared to be negligent. They immediately circulated their cultivation techniques to absorb the spiritual energy around them, allowing their injuries to heal more quickly.
"You managed to revive Senior Sister Ye and the others so quickly?"
Outside the magic array, the Qiankun Sect disciples were thrilled to see Ye Qingzhu and the others regain their senses, and were even more impressed by Lu Qing's medical skills.
Junior Sister Xiaojing is right. This Fellow Daoist Chen's medical skills are truly beyond imagination and incredibly miraculous.
"Thankfully, Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others are alright."
Qin Zheng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The loss of two junior brothers during this trip to the secret realm was already too much for him to bear.
If Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others also perish, he really doesn't know how he will go back to face his sect.
Everyone waited for a full half hour before Ye Qingzhu and the others stopped practicing their internal energy.
When he opened his eyes again, he was full of energy.
While it cannot be said that he has returned to his peak condition, he is at least able to move freely and has recovered most of his strength.
The rest is just a matter of patience and gradual recuperation.
Lu Qing removed the formation and retrieved the talismans and spirit stones he had set up.
This time, when healing Ye Qingzhu and the others, he used eighteen mid-grade spirit stones. Only a small portion of the spiritual energy within them was used up, so they were still very valuable.
"Senior Sister Ye!"
As soon as the formation was removed, Chu Xiaojing rushed in, threw herself into Ye Qingzhu's arms, and began to sob.
"Sweetie, your senior sister is fine now. Why are you crying and making everyone laugh at you?"
Ye Qingzhu's expression softened, and he gently stroked her hair to comfort her.
She knew that the girl must have been quite worried during the days she had been unconscious.
"Senior sister, it's all my fault. If you hadn't saved me, you and Senior Brother Zixiao wouldn't have been injured, and Senior Brother Zhao Gang and Senior Brother Wang Ming wouldn't be here either..."
At this point, Chu Xiaojing's sobs grew louder, and her voice choked up.
Ye Qingzhu sighed softly: "Didn't Zhao Gang and Wang Ming survive?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao Gang was hit squarely in the body by that ape-like beast, and his physical body was shattered."
Senior Brother Wang Ming was also devoured by that wolf-shaped beast.
"We couldn't even retrieve their remains," Chu Xiaojing replied, sobbing.
Ye Qingzhu trembled. She hadn't expected that Zhao Gang and Wang Ming would die such tragic deaths, not even having a complete corpse.
Zi Xiao, who was standing to the side, also had a drastic change in expression.
The other Qiankun Sect disciples also looked somber.
Lu Qing listened and immediately understood.
No wonder he didn't see the other two Qiankun Sect disciples who entered Tian Shu City with him that day.
Unexpectedly, they had already perished in this secret realm.
"Xiao Jing, don't cry. This isn't your fault." Ye Qingzhu came back to her senses and comforted her. "If anyone is to blame, it's those Gongshu family members. They deserted in the face of battle, ruined our formation, and even abandoned us as bait to block the alien beasts."
We'll settle this score with the Gongshu family sooner or later!
At this point, Ye Qingzhu's face was full of determination.
“That’s right. If the Gongshu family hadn’t broken away from the formation on their own, our formation would never have been so easily broken by the beast. We must demand an explanation from the Gongshu family!” Zixiao shouted.
Zhao Gang and Wang Ming have known them for many years, and they have always had a good relationship.
However, due to the Gongshu family's betrayal, he died tragically in this secret realm.
No matter what, this matter cannot be left like this.
The other disciples of the Qiankun Sect also showed expressions of indignation.
They were filled with hatred for the Gongshu family's actions that day, and they could never swallow this insult.
Even Qin Zheng did not try to dissuade him at this moment.
Gongshu Jia deserted during the battle, resulting in heavy casualties among his fellow disciples. Although he didn't like causing trouble, he wasn't truly without a temper.
Lu Qing watched this scene quietly without saying a word.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please excuse my rudeness. Two of my junior brothers died a few days ago, and everyone was quite emotional."
After a while, Qin Zheng calmed down and apologized to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing sighed softly: "Life is unpredictable. I was once acquainted with Fellow Daoist Zhao and his companion, but I never imagined that we would be separated by death."
"The incident happened suddenly that day. By the time we reacted, Junior Brother Zhao and Junior Brother Wang had already perished at the hands of the strange beast, and Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others were also seriously injured. We had no choice but to retreat in a hurry, and we couldn't even retrieve the bodies of Junior Brother Zhao and the others."
Qin Zheng said somewhat sadly.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what exactly is this strange beast you mentioned? And what is the situation with this secret realm? Why can we only enter but not leave? Even the entrance has disappeared. How can we get out?"
Following Qin Zheng's words, Lu Qing finally asked the question she wanted to know.
Although he now knows that obtaining the ancient tower's inheritance will allow him to leave this trial realm.
But how exactly to obtain that so-called inheritance remains an unknown.
Therefore, Lu Qing still wanted to find out if there were any other ways to leave the secret realm.
"Did Fellow Daoist Chen come to find Junior Sister Qingzhu and the others because he was unable to leave this secret realm?"
Qin Zheng suddenly understood.
He had been wondering why Lu Qing and the other person had appeared so coincidentally, but now he had an explanation.
"That's right. I was in seclusion and didn't arrive in time when the secret realm opened that day."
The time when the Taoist priest entered this secret realm was one day later than yours.
Upon entering, they were teleported to a remote area.
Therefore, it is still unclear what exactly this secret realm is all about.
Why is it so different from the information about the secret realm circulating in Tian Shu City?
Your sect is a long-established and prestigious sect. Do you know anything about this secret realm?
"We don't actually know much about this secret realm either," Qin Zheng said. "However, there are similar records in the records of our Qiankun Sect."
Legend has it that every tens of thousands of years, a peculiar secret realm similar to the one we are in now appears on Tian Shu Divine Mountain, a place with sparse spiritual energy.
It is said that this secret realm contains some powerful ancient heritage.
That's just a legend, and the secret realms nurtured by Tian Shu Divine Mountain are always extremely difficult to predict.
Therefore, before entering, we had no idea that this secret realm was actually the legendary Inheritance Trial Secret Realm.
"Does your sect's records contain any information about how to leave this strange and mysterious place?" Lu Qing asked.
He thought to himself, "As expected, these powerful forces do have some understanding of the Trial Realm."
"There are some vague records," Qin Zheng nodded. "It is said that as long as someone can pass the trials in the secret realm, they can obtain the inheritance."
The portal to the secret realm will reappear, and you can then leave.
Another method is that some powerful beasts within the secret realm may also harbor beads that allow one to exit the realm.
Lu Qing's heart skipped a beat: "Powerful beast? How powerful does it have to be to be considered powerful?"
Qin Zheng shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"In that case, wouldn't we still be unable to determine the outcome?" Lu Qing said with some disappointment.
This secret realm is so vast that determining which beasts possess the Secret Realm Pearls is no easy task.
"Second Senior Brother, if we're talking about strength, what other strange beasts are stronger than those guarding the ancient tower?"
If it's a secret realm pearl, then it must be inside the heads of those strange beasts.
At this moment, Chu Xiaojing suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing's eyes lit up.
