Chapter 2226: Chapter 2227: Healing
Lin Chen was satisfied, because in such a short period, his cultivation had progressed so rapidly, which Su Yan hadn’t expected.
However, this boy’s wariness was far beyond his imagination, causing Su Yan a bit of frustration.
After all, if truly counted, he should be considered Lin Chen’s master, so how could he harm him?
Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn’t help but shake his head gently.
After musing for a while, Su Yan noticed that Lin Chen was still healing his body. In no time, he shot into part of Lin Chen’s sea of consciousness, hiding deep below the cultivation technique.
Instead of waiting for Lin Chen to wake up and ask too many questions, it was better to leave cleanly now. When rescuing him this time, he had already spent quite a bit of effort, so he might as well go directly in to rest.
At this moment, Lin Chen was naturally unaware of the situation, even though this was his sea of consciousness, but his current injuries were extremely severe.
Within that sea of consciousness, there were bursts of shattering, with black auras emerging from the broken places. That’s the residue left by the previous figure.
This black aura seemed to carry a corrosive effect, spreading around when it stained anything.
This situation undoubtedly made Lin Chen uncomfortable.
He endured some pain, held his breath, concentrating his mind, and began to repair the wounds here.
This process was slow, and fortunately, the palace was located deep underground, making it truly hard for ordinary people to find this place.
So, although time passed as they healed, they remained undisturbed by others. This situation relieved them of further worries.
...
The healing lasted for three whole days before Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes. In front of him sat Chen Jie and Sun Tianming not far away.
"Awake?"
Chen Jie was the first to sense it and smiled faintly.
At this time, as days went by, Chen Jie had almost recovered from her injuries, making her complexion look much better. She had changed her previously shredded clothes, exuding a clean and neat aura.
"Mm..."
Lin Chen stood up, his head still aching. During the healing, the black aura in the sea of consciousness hadn’t been entirely expelled but seemed to have integrated with his original consciousness.
This feeling was strange, but Lin Chen examined it closely and found no harm, so he woke up.
However, after such a long time, his mental energy seemed insufficient, causing bouts of dizziness.
Chen Jie, by his side, seemed to have anticipated this. She supported Lin Chen’s shoulder with one hand and fetched clean water and food from her ring, passing them to Lin Chen.
"Have some food first."
Lin Chen nodded in acknowledgment, drank some clean water, then slowly glanced around the hall.
The figures on those several pillars showed no signs of awakening after several days; they were deeply embedded and their heads drooped as if they had been dead for quite some time.
"Did you guys do this?"
Lin Chen looked at Chen Jie with some surprise.
"Of course not. We don’t have that kind of power."
Chen Jie smiled bitterly, pointed at Sun Tianming, who was still recovering from his injuries on the ground, and said lightly, "If we did, Sun Tianming wouldn’t be like this."
His leg injury was too severe. Even after a few days, it hadn’t fully healed; only the bones that protruded outside his body had returned inside. Although it had restored its shape, it required time for the bones to connect, which was why Sun Tianming took quite a while.
"What happened? And where is Zheng Chuanhai?"
Sun Tianming, curious, asked. He resided in the sea of consciousness and knew nothing about outside happenings. He only felt changes from the silhouette inside the orb, but didn’t know the details.
Originally, those enemies were all trapped inside the pillars, except Zheng Hai, who was nowhere to be found, which piqued Lin Chen’s curiosity.
"Turned into a heap of ash, scattered with the wind..."
Chen Jie waved her hand, said slowly. Seeing Lin Chen’s face still perplexed, she chuckled lightly and began explaining what had happened before.
...
"So you’re saying everything here changed because of his appearance?"
"Yes, he knocked down everyone here with just his power. His strength is really formidable. But from start to finish, besides fighting, he was eating continuously, which was quite strange..." Chen Jie explained, revealing her own doubts.
"It’s him..."
Lin Chen muttered, suddenly recalling the day in the forest. That person behaved the same way. According to that description, they should be the same person, but why came here?
"Brother Lin knows him? No wonder he came here then..."
Chen Jie said with some realization. If they knew each other, it would naturally explain such odd phenomena.
"No, I don’t know him, not even meeting face to face..."
Lin Chen said slowly. He also puzzled over the fat man’s purpose for coming here and quickly leaving after solving the troubles. The purpose baffled Lin Chen.
He didn’t believe the fat man came here for no reason, just to have a fight.
But no matter how much Lin Chen pondered, the scenes before him still seemed bizarre. No matter how he explained, it didn’t make sense.
"Forget it. He’s gone, so pondering further is useless. Let’s regain some strength and continue the trial."
Lin Chen shook his slightly dizzy head and added.
Their purpose for coming was for the sect competition, and now with several days passed, if they couldn’t quickly catch up in points, they’d be eliminated next time.
This consequence made Lin Chen unsure if Tao Yuyu would chase for more trouble later.
Even if not eliminated, facing Tao Yuyu next gave Lin Chen low chances of winning. He needed to find a way to deal with Tao Yuyu.
"Time is really tight..."
Lin Chen sighed lightly. Whether facing opponents or other matters, it required considerable time. What Lin Chen lacked most now was time, which gave him a headache.
"If it’s because of this, you shouldn’t worry too much."
Chen Jie stroked her hand, and several wooden tokens appeared between her elegant fingers, "I gathered these from their hands. The number seems adequate. All of the points should be enough for us to advance together."
Lin Chen counted briefly. There were dozens of tokens, each engraved with a name.
This delighted Lin Chen. Thus, he’d avoid the trouble of finding these things again, as he was at the first level of Spirit Pill, and a few tokens would suffice.
