Healing (I)

When you're the only person on a street, that's when it's quiet.

But when you're the only person in a small town, all you can say is silence.

In the quiet environment, even the creaking sound of the wind blowing past the road signs was quite loud.

This is a true reflection of Shadow Street's current state.

Li Wei didn't linger, but walked directly into the building where he could exchange time for mission world time.

If you want to cultivate, then going to the mission world with 15 times the time is naturally the most cost-effective. However, when Li Wei placed his hand on the crystal, he was confused by the prompt.

"The applicant is Destroyer, and the points required are increased by 25 times. To redeem one day of a mission world, 2500 points are needed. Please select a mission world scene..."

2500 points a day?

This is ridiculously expensive! Why is the Destroyer so pricey? At this moment, Li Wei could not use the points on the original Yellow Paper, and the points on the Black Paper were zero.

Therefore, it would be impossible for them to cultivate in mission worlds.

Left with no other choice, Li Wei returned to the real world.

Back in the guest room, he sat down, pondering how to earn some points.

After letting his mind wander for a while, Li Wei calmed down and began cultivating basic immortal techniques.

Basically, whether it's martial arts internal skills or cultivation manuals, the first step is to have a sense of Qi. Martial artists emphasize true Qi, while cultivators need to sense the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

In this respect, Li Wei made rapid progress. In just one night, he had already grasped that wisp of spiritual energy. He took a deep breath, guided the spiritual energy into his body, and then used a special cultivation technique to exhale the turbid air and gather that wisp of spiritual energy into his spiritual platform, making it linger for a long time. This is the Qi condensation.

It is also known as Qi cultivation.

The Green-Robed Sword Immortal once said that it would take an ordinary person several months to sense spiritual energy, and it would take an ordinary person a year to be able to guide spiritual energy into their body and separate and store it from impure energy. Even those with talent would need at least six months to several months to achieve this.

Li Wei, on the other hand, only took one night, a speed even faster than Li Wei previous cultivation speed inside the Demon Demon-Locking Tower. Perhaps this is the advantage of the Sky Fox Physique.

Furthermore, how to keep the spiritual energy introduced into the body from dissipating also depends on individual constitution. Some people are born unable to cultivate spiritual energy because no matter how much spiritual energy they introduce, it will dissipate completely within a few days.

Even Li Wei in the past, when he channeled spiritual energy, a layer would dissipate, leaving only 90% intact.

However, to Li Wei's surprise, the Sky Fox Physique could actually preserve 100% of its spiritual energy. In just one night, wisps of free spiritual energy began to circulate within its body, and its physical attributes also improved slightly.

As dawn broke, Li Wei opened his eyes, got up, and walked out of the room.

The ultimate goal of cultivation is to maintain a balance between tension and relaxation. Li Wei hadn't had a chance to explore this Knight City properly yet, so this early morning was a good opportunity to take a closer look at this level 3 Sand City.

Strolling through the Sand City, Li Wei could see that many people had already gotten up very early. In this New World, no one could live off others without working; everyone had to strive for their survival.

Without effort, there is only destruction.

This area is inhabited by people like this.

There are at least three such areas in the entire Knight City, in addition to the core area of Sand City. However, ordinary people are not allowed to enter those places. Fortunately, even from a distance, Li Wei could see many unique buildings.

There was a tower built of huge white jade-like rocks, and other buildings made of white stone that looked somewhat familiar to Li Wei.

"It's a military camp!" Li Wei suddenly realized.

This Knight City looks remarkably similar to the castles in the human faction's territory in Heroes of Might and Heroes of Might and Magic, only on a much larger scale.

With this guess in mind, Li Wei slowly walked up.

The core of Knight City is surrounded by another small city wall. At this moment, a group of tall soldiers wearing dark blue uniforms and holding halberds stood on both sides. When they saw Li Wei, they crossed their halberds with a clatter.

"Excuse me, this is the city lord's private area. Please leave immediately, or the guards will kill you on the spot!"

The speaker was a halberd soldier with a cold expression. His thick arms were incredibly strong and powerful; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to wield that heavy halberd, which weighed over ten kilograms, so freely.

Such halberdiers are roughly at level E in combat strength, which is somewhat stronger than ordinary people.

Li Wei didn't respond to the warning, but instead took the initiative to step back. He was only there to test the waters and didn't want to cause any trouble. Besides, this Knight City belonged to the 99 Knight. If he had any questions, wouldn't it be more direct to ask them directly?

"I wonder what that Level 7 Illusion Realm is. I'll definitely go and see it when I have the chance!" Li Wei was about to turn and leave.

Just then, a horse galloped in from afar, and the rider was none other than the 99 Knight who had just left yesterday.

He looked exhausted, and his once-shiny armor was now stained with blood and had many dents from heavy blows, clearly indicating that he had been through a very fierce battle.

On his horse, there was another person carrying a severe injury. They had been galloping all the way, with drops of blood constantly dripping from their wounds.

When the two riders passed by Li Wei recognized the seriously injured person as Seventy-Two, who had gone to the Level 7 Illusion Realm with the 99 Knight.

At this moment, his armor was tattered, he was covered in blood, and he was unconscious.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei's eyes narrowed.

The 99 Knight were almost frantic at this point. Originally, they were well-prepared for this expedition to explore the Level 7 Illusionary Illusion Realm and should not have encountered too much danger. After all, he and Seventy-Two had decided to only operate on the outer perimeter of the Level 7 Illusion Realm.

However, the two discovered something within the Illusion Realm.

The Griffin's Heart is an essential resource for upgrading the North City to level 4; it is priceless.

When upgrading Sand City, 99 Knight chose the human castle faction, while Seventy-Two chose the swamp faction. Therefore, the Griffin's Heart was undoubtedly of particular importance to 99 Knight.

With it, not only is upgrading Sand City to level 4 possible, but you can also build Griffin Nests in the city, which will then produce this unique legendary creature.

So he and the Seventy-Two agreed to get their hands on the Griffin's Heart, but the treasure was guarded by three giant beasts.

They have a very impressive name, Behemoth. These hairy monsters have reached A2 level in combat power and a terrifying strength of 500 points. With just one strike, they can destroy a city wall.

Obtaining the Griffin's Heart while guarded by three monsters is incredibly difficult, but the two, blinded by greed, still decided to risk it, only to return severely injured.

Seventy-Two was struck hard and was in critical condition, so the 99 Knight hurriedly brought Seventy-Two back, hoping that the city's physicians could save their friend's life.

"If it weren't for the inability to enter Shadow Street and purchase life potions, we wouldn't have gone to such lengths!" 99 Knight sighed inwardly, leading Seventy-Two into the inner city.

There were quite a few people in the city skilled in medicine, and they were immediately summoned to the inner city. However, after seeing Seventy-Two's injuries, they all shook their heads.

Let alone in this era of scarce medical resources, even in the Old World, with all the advanced medical equipment, it would have been impossible to save someone so severely injured.

At least 90% of the bones in Seventy-Two's body were broken, his internal organs were ruptured, and he had lost more than 20% of his blood. To put it bluntly, he was practically a dead man with both feet in the coffin. The only reason he was still breathing was because of his special constitution, but death was inevitable; it was just a matter of time.

"Lord of the city, this friend of yours is probably..." An old man who had once been a chief physician at a provincial hospital in the Old World examined the unconscious Seventy-Two's injuries, sighed, and hesitated to speak.

The other doctors also shook their heads and remained silent.

The 99 Knight' face twitched slightly, and they waved their hands, signaling the others to leave.

Soon, several more people walked in. They were all former 99 companions and reincarnators with special skills, some of whom possessed healing skills such as Restoration and Holy Light Spell.

However, these people's skills seemed to have no effect on Seventy-Two. After flashes of holy light and healing spells, Seventy-Two remained unconscious, and the place where he lay was already stained red with blood.

"Lord, our recovery skill level is too low, I'm afraid..." A reincarnator who had cast the recovery spell ten times wiped the sweat from his brow, his eyes filled with guilt.

"Is it really no use? My old friend!" 99 Knight was heartbroken. He and Seventy-Two were kindred spirits and could be considered bosom friends. This trip to the Level 7 Illusion Realm was to help him collect materials; otherwise, they wouldn't have encountered those Behemoth.

"Why don't we issue a mission? I believe there are still people with high-level recovery and Cure skills!" a subordinate suggested at the opportune moment.

99 Knight slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "That's right! As far as I know, there aren't many reincarnators with high-level Cure skills, but there aren't a few either. If there were such people in Knight City, that would be wonderful."

As a result, a bounty was immediately issued from the inner city, and it instantly caused a stir.

The task is simple: save the life of a wounded high-level Guardian. Successful completion will reward you with one level 3 magic crystal.

Level 3 magic crystals are extremely rare, obtainable only from high-level demons in the wild. Their effects after consumption are far superior to those of level 1 or even level 2 magic crystals.

Even if it were sold, it would be more than enough for a family of three to live comfortably for over a decade.

Therefore, the moment this bounty was posted, the entire Knight City was thrown into turmoil.

Li Wei, of course, also found out.

"It must be Seventy-Two! That guy was injured so badly!" Li Wei stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "I remember there's a level 3 card called <Powerful Healing>. I wonder if it can heal that kind of serious injury. But regardless, as an old acquaintance, I should go and help him!"

With this in mind, Li Wei noted down the materials needed to craft the <Potent Healing Card> and headed towards the inner city.
