Chapter 360: Chapter 359: An Idea
Looking at the Heaven and Earth Divine Pattern, Yi Tianyun was deeply moved. When he saw Ye Qingxuan’s pale face, he knew something was very wrong. It was just as he’d suspected—she had inscribed the Heaven and Earth Divine Pattern. If he had been on the verge of defeat, Ye Qingxuan would have used it on him to give him a boost.
If he had been gravely injured and unable to escape, Ye Qingxuan would have certainly used it on herself so she could carry him to safety.
Since it wasn’t needed, Ye Qingxuan naturally chose to give it to him. But seeing the crimson color on it made Yi Tianyun’s heart clench. He felt a pang of guilt. For her to go this far for him... he had truly asked too much of her.
"Honestly, you never listen to me. But forget it, I won’t hold it against you." Yi Tianyun gestured for her to sit down and then took out the Blood Jade. Its effects weren’t used up yet; more than half of its power remained. This was an absolutely Rare item, costing up to a million Madness Value in the system’s shop. He was normally very reluctant to use it.
Shi Xueyun had used a fair amount last time, but more than half was still left, proving that it was quite a substantial piece. However, as one’s cultivation grew stronger, the consumption rate would also increase. Eventually, it would reach a terrifying level.
"Quick, use this Blood Jade to recover. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to your future cultivation." Yi Tianyun pressed the Blood Jade into her hands, urging her to absorb it quickly.
"What kind of Treasure is this? The Blood Qi feels so strong..." As Ye Qingxuan grasped the Blood Jade, she felt a powerful wave of Blood Qi surge out. It was incredibly comfortable as it seeped into her body.
"Don’t worry about what kind of Treasure it is. All that matters is that it has a great restorative effect on you," Yi Tianyun said. "Hurry up and absorb it. Replenish your depleted Blood Qi."
"This Treasure is too Rare. Treasures that can replenish Blood Qi are incredibly scarce. You should keep it for yourself..." Ye Qingxuan tried to push the Blood Jade back to him.
"Listen to me. Use it! I’m ordering you now as the Spirit King, not as your friend. Understand?" Yi Tianyun said, his face stern.
"Alright, I’ll use it, I’ll use it..." Ye Qingxuan gave a sweet smile, then took the Blood Jade and began to absorb it.
As she began to absorb it, a thick wave of Blood Qi quickly surged into her body, and her pale complexion immediately started to regain its rosy color. The Blood Jade’s effect was astounding and worked instantly! After absorbing it for just a short while, Ye Qingxuan’s complexion had already recovered significantly.
"This... this is incredible. In just a moment, I can feel a lot of my Blood Qi has returned... Where did you get this? I’ve never seen anything so miraculous. Even Elixir Pills that replenish Essence Blood can’t do it this quickly. They take a very long time to restore this much." Ye Qingxuan was deeply shocked.
"I found it through a small stroke of luck. Don’t worry about it so much; just focus on recovering for now. I have several hundred more things like this, so just absorb as much as you need!" Yi Tianyun urged her to continue, lying that he had hundreds of Blood Jades to make her feel more at ease about using it.
"Several hundred... That... that’s unbelievable... You’re lying to me!" Ye Qingxuan pouted, feeling that something was off.
"What am I lying about? Just hurry up and absorb it, got it?" Yi Tianyun said, staring at her.
"Fine, fine..." Feeling helpless, Ye Qingxuan resumed absorbing it.
In no time, she had absorbed about half of the Blood Jade, completely replenishing the Essence Blood she had expended. Her aura was now no different from before. A moment ago, she looked sickly and could barely walk steadily. It was a state that was difficult to recover from even with cultivation; it would have required consuming many Elixir Pills and several years to fully recuperate.
This was why people like General Long were unwilling to burn their Essence Blood unless it was the most critical moment. If they weren’t pushed into a corner, they would never be willing to do it, as recovery was simply too difficult. Excessive consumption would have a significant impact on their cultivation, which was why they didn’t dare to unleash their full power recklessly.
If they could recover quickly, they would have unleashed their power much earlier in a fight. Some might even do it from the very beginning, with no need to save it for later.
"I’ve recovered. This thing is truly magical..." Ye Qingxuan handed the Blood Jade back to Yi Tianyun and asked doubtfully, "Do you really have several hundred of them?"
"Of course I do." Yi Tianyun took it with a smile, then added, "I just don’t know where they are."
"You... You really were lying to me!" Ye Qingxuan huffed, clearly displeased.
Yi Tianyun chuckled and said, "Alright, don’t worry about it. We should evacuate quickly. If word of this gets out, it will be difficult for us to leave."
"Okay!" Ye Qingxuan’s expression turned serious, knowing the gravity of the situation.
After looting the valuables with Yi Tianyun, he quickly led Ye Qingxuan away from the area, heading first to the Spirit Race’s village to check on the situation. However, when they returned, they found the Spirit Race had already completely evacuated. They had taken everything they could.
Every member of the Spirit Race had a Storage Ring, so taking their valuables with them was simple. Even the Life Crystal had been packed away. There was nothing else to take. It was just a pity that the Spirit Tower couldn’t be moved and had to be left behind.
"The Spirit Tower..." Ye Qingxuan took one last look at the tower and sighed. "In the end, we still had to leave this place..."
"This is just a temporary retreat. In the future, once we destroy the Netherworld Empire, we can still come back," Yi Tianyun comforted her.
"Yes, destroy the Netherworld Empire!" A cold light glinted in Ye Qingxuan’s silver eyes.
With that, they left the area and flew toward the gathering point. When they arrived, the entire Spirit Race was there. Seeing the two of them return, everyone’s faces lit up with joyful surprise.
"The Spirit King is back! The Spirit King has returned!" they exclaimed, rushing forward to greet them. Being able to see their Spirit King return put their hearts at ease.
"I have an announcement to make! The Spirit King personally killed General Feng with his own hands, eliminating one of the Netherworld Empire’s Grand Generals!" Ye Qingxuan announced as soon as she arrived.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into a massive cheer, so loud it felt as if they could tear the roof off the place.
"The Spirit King is amazing! I told you the Spirit King wasn’t afraid of General Feng!"
"That’s right! Our Spirit King is invincible! He’s the strongest!"
"Bullshit! Weren’t you just worried the Spirit King wouldn’t be able to escape?"
"I... Can’t I be a little worried...?"
They all shouted one after another. His popularity soared once again, and Yi Tianyun’s prestige rose significantly.
"Lord Spirit King, what should be our course of action now?" After the excitement died down, Elder Yan and the others began to think about the future.
"We will go to the Earth Realm Continent to lay low for a while. I have a territory there that is also suitable for you to live in." A glint flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes. ’It’s about time to complete my quest.’
