[Command confirmed. Demon Devil Lifespan consumed: 80 years. Beginning guidance of Creation Spirit Pool origin...]
A purer, more immense warm current surged up from the depths of the pool, as though it possessed a will of its own, actively burrowing into Lu Chen's body.
Following the most optimal path, it repaired every minute injury, nourished his parched sea of consciousness, and soothed his exhausted mind.
Lu Chen was so comfortable he nearly groaned. He hurriedly composed himself and took the initiative to circulate the Mystic Dragon Sea-Suppressing Art and the Nine Heavens Thunder Command Art, working with this force to accelerate his recovery.
Seeing Lu Chen close his eyes and enter meditation once more, his aura visibly stabilizing and strengthening, Yun Qingyue knew that he was treating his injuries with all his might. She did not disturb him, merely standing guard quietly at his side and occasionally checking the concentration of spiritual energy in the pool to ensure it remained abundant.
Time flowed by in silence. Mist drifted slowly across the spirit pool, rendering the figures of the two somewhat hazy.
After an unknown amount of time, faint footsteps came from the entrance.
Yun Qingyue turned back alertly. Upon seeing who had arrived, she hurriedly rose and bowed. "Valley Lord."
The newcomer was none other than Mu Tianqing, the Valley Lord of Medicine King Valley.
He had changed into a clean azure Daoist robe. Though his complexion was still somewhat pale, his spirits were fair, and his eyes had regained their usual depth and wisdom. Elder Mu Wanqing and Elder Ziyun followed behind him.
"No need for such ceremony." Mu Tianqing waved a hand. His gaze fell upon Lu Chen in the pool, and as he sensed that steadily rising aura, satisfaction and admiration appeared in his eyes.
