Perhaps that was simply how Witch Clan cultivation methods worked!
Holy Mother Gold Spirit sighed inwardly.
Then she said nothing more...
Instead, she addressed Yang Jian and the others:
"All right..."
"You should hurry and get some rest too!"
"Restore your strength. Next, it will be time for the people of Western Qi to come and break the formation. You may not need to take the field, but you must stay alert. You never know when you might be needed..."
After thinking for a moment, she took out many spiritual fruits, intending to let them replenish themselves. Yet the moment she brought them out, all four spoke in unison:
"No need, we have some!"
Each of them pulled out their own treasured stores.
Streams of Innate Spiritual Light immediately flickered, and even the surrounding spiritual energy instantly grew dense, leaving the three "adults" stunned!
Holy Mother Gold Spirit looked at what they held, then at the spiritual fruits in her own hands, silently putting hers away.
Then she turned and left!
Well...
These four were either Wu Tian's sons or Wu Tian's disciples. As everyone knew... Wu Tian possessed the most Innate Spiritual Roots in the Primordial Wilderness. A man who did not shortchange even his friends and subordinates—would he shortchange Yang Jian and the others?
After Holy Mother Gold Spirit and the other two departed.
Nezha, still wearing dark circles beneath his eyes, asked in confusion:
"Huh..."
"What's wrong with them?"
Meanwhile, over at Holy Mother Guiling's side.
After failing to enjoy the spectacle, she worried that Wu Tian would punish her... so she immediately used fetching reinforcements as an excuse to slip away early, heading toward Golden Turtle Island!
Very soon.
Holy Mother Guiling returned to Golden Turtle Island.
She immediately alarmed Daoist Duobao and Holy Mother Wudang.
