Copper Pot Healing (2)

(I was extremely tired, but I managed to write 2000 words, so I'll post it for now.)

Li Wei struggled to sit up, but then he recalled everything that had happened before.

He entered the Star of Destruction, encountered the three members of the Greedy Wolf, met Bao Ling at the auction, and then killed the Bull Demon. These events flashed through his mind like a movie, yet they were still vivid in his memory.

Thinking of the Bull Demon's final blow, Li Wei used his true energy to check his physical injuries, but the result left him somewhat disappointed.

His body was in complete disarray from the blow from the Bull Demon's palm. Not only were his internal organs displaced, but some organs were also severely damaged. Fortunately, Li Wei had a strong physique, which saved his life. However, for a short period of time, he would have difficulty even standing up, let alone fighting.

"It seems we should avoid using this lose-lose approach next time, otherwise we might accidentally get ourselves involved, which would be a huge loss," Li Wei shook his head and muttered to himself.

Bao Ling was standing nearby, saw that Li Wei seemed to be about to sit up, so she quickly stopped him. Li Wei couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he had no choice but to obediently lie down.

Bao Ling looked at Li Wei with tender, affectionate eyes, saying nothing. Her face was flushed. Li Wei looked closer and noticed that she had taken off her outer garment to wet her forehead. She was only wearing a thin layer of fabric to cover herself, and her soft, rounded breasts were faintly visible. It was no wonder she blushed, especially as a man, as she appeared in such a state.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Li Wei glanced at Bao Ling and asked directly.

Bao Ling was clearly lost in thought and didn't hear Li Wei's question. Helpless, Li Wei had to raise his voice and ask again. Bao Ling then snapped out of her reverie, looked at Li Wei, and whispered, "I don't know either. This place doesn't distinguish between day and night, but I guess it's been a whole day, hasn't it?"

Li Wei nodded. This was the Copper Pot World, so naturally there was no alternation of day and night like in the outside world. However, he had been unconscious for so long that he had no idea what was happening outside.

"I hope the Mirror Image doesn't give away the truth."

Thinking back to how he had given the Mirror Image an order before he lost consciousness, instructing it to put away the Copper Pot and then return to the auction house to impersonate him, he realized that even if someone suspected him of killing the Bull Demon, they wouldn't be able to find the time when he committed the murder.

The Mirror Image only existed for one hour; Mirror Image should have disappeared long ago by now. I wonder what the situation is like outside right now.

Fortunately, Bao Ling was successfully rescued, and the Bull Demon was also defeated, so the effort wasn't in vain. Li Wei tried to move his body again, but felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Without a doubt, his sternum was fractured, and not in one place. Super Regeneration can repair damaged areas, but if the injury is too severe, it will likely take a long time. Not only that, the Bull Demon's palm strike also Rift Li Wei's dantian, causing all five inner cores to become dull and lifeless. His once abundant dantian was now almost depleted, with only a faint trace of true essence still flowing.

Li Wei sighed, thinking to himself that after being seriously injured, he did not immediately recuperate, but instead forcibly used the Ultimate Shockwave Fist again. The consequence of forcibly circulating his true energy was that the already damaged areas became even more serious.

After closing his eyes and regulating his breathing for a while, the restored true energy was barely perceptible, but fortunately it wasn't entirely without effect. True energy flowed continuously through his meridians, which did provide some nourishment to his body. Only then did Li Wei breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it could be remedied, it was alright; it just would take some time.

The Copper Pot World was completely controlled by Li Wei's will. After thinking for a while, Li Wei built a house in his place and set up a quiet room so that he could recuperate from his injuries. During his recuperation, Li Wei also learned from Bao Ling about her abduction and the reason why she became a female slave.

"So, you were captured from Earth Star and taken to that Star of Destruction?" Li Wei exhaled for more than a dozen cycles, and his dantian and sea of qi recovered somewhat, but his five inner cores were still dim and lackluster, and his combat power was less than 10% of his peak.

During Li Wei's recovery, Bao Ling quietly served him and recounted her experiences after Li Wei separation. However, she seemed to have gone through too much, and she spoke calmly about the twists and turns in her story, which made Li Wei look at her with new respect.

Bao Ling glanced at Li Wei, then wiped the sweat from Li Wei forehead with a towel, saying, "After being auctioned off as a slave, I thought my life was over. But then I ran into you again, and you saved me once more. Counting this time, I'm afraid I can never repay your kindness."

Li Wei chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.

"By the way, Li Wei, what happened to you after your last mission? I heard that you killed the Great Wizard and became the leader of the White City Alliance on Earth Star. I originally wanted to go find you, but I was worried that you had already forgotten me... In the end, I mustered up my courage and went to the Three Heroes City, but I didn't expect to be robbed on the way, so..." As if recalling some unpleasant past events, Bao Ling's face showed a trace of fear.

Li Wei continued to circulate his energy, using his Super Regeneration to repair his body. Hearing Bao Ling's account, Li Wei chuckled and said, "I've been through quite a lot..."

Thinking back on the quests and people he had encountered after returning from Monster Hunter World, Li Wei couldn't help but feel nostalgic and sentimental. He told some of the stories he could, which quickly attracted Bao Ling's attention.

From searching for the Angel Clan in the Level 7 Illusion Realm to resurrect her father and two confidantes, to the chaotic battles of the death squad, and then to the open and covert struggles with the mysterious 'Liu Yuchen' in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic, vying for the 'Dragon Jade', she eventually succeeded in collecting Dragon Jade and obtained the 'Dragon Power' that Liu Yuchen had always dreamed of.

However, the requirements for the Dragon Power are too strict; one must level up to obtain the corresponding Dragon Skill. At least in Li Wei's view, neither the Ink Dragon's Protection nor the Fire Dragon Breath can compare to the skills possessed by a 'Main God'. Therefore, the statement he heard from Liu Yuchen that the Dragon Power could rival that of Main God is highly problematic. At this moment, Li Wei felt that although the Dragon Power was powerful, his current S2 level of Dragon Power strength was far from sufficient to unleash its true power.

Next, Li Wei entered the 'Mage's Tomb', where he obtained the most practical skill among all his special abilities: the water-based master-level magic 'Mirror Image'. It can be said that although the Mirror Image has a lot of drawbacks, its true benefits are also quite obvious. Take this time for example, without the Mirror Image, Li Wei would definitely have been the first suspect. But with the mirror Mirror Image appearing in front of everyone at the right time, no one doubted him anymore.
