Deriving the Spirit-Guarding Pill

Half an hour later, thirty li southeast of Wolf Howl Valley, within a concealed fissure in a mountain ravine.

Lu Chen successfully rendezvoused with Gu Mingxuan's team.

Zhao Tieying's feint-attack team, having arrived ahead of them, was also there. They too had gone through a bitter battle. Everyone bore injuries, but they had successfully completed their containment mission.

"My lord!" Seeing Lu Chen return safely, everyone finally let out the breath they had been holding.

"Count our numbers. Treat the wounded." Lu Chen's words were brief and direct.

After the tally, of the sixty Evil-Quelling Guards and selected elites involved in this Broken Fang Operation, five had fallen, eight were severely wounded, and the rest had all sustained minor injuries.

The losses were far from small, but considering they had penetrated deep into the heart of enemy territory, turned the place upside down, slain Yin Jiu, the deputy leader of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, along with countless enemies, destroyed key strongholds, and triggered widespread chaos, the results of this battle could be called resplendent.

"The bodies of our fallen brothers..." Gu Mingxuan said heavily.

"Bring them back." Lu Chen's tone was resolute. "Not one of our people will be left behind. Treat the severely wounded first. Use the best pills."

He personally examined the severely wounded, using Life Creation Spring spiritual liquid together with his own true essence to stabilize their injuries.

Two of them were wounded too severely, with severed limbs and damaged organs. Even with spiritual medicine, they would need a long period of recuperation before recovering their combat strength. Still, their lives were no longer in danger.

Only after dealing with the wounded did Lu Chen take out the core gains from this operation—the jade box containing the mother Gu, the Soul-Calling Bell, the Thousand-Year Snow
