Qin Tiexin's voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, and his throat seemed to have been polished with sandpaper. Every word he spat out was filled with the smell of blood. His lips were chapped, and the skin on his face was still pale from excessive blood loss.
"Don't move, lie down first." Luo Ling held down his body as he tried to sit up, squatted next to him, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Can you see a few fingers clearly?"
"Three roots." Qin Tiexin's voice was extremely hoarse.
"It's okay, I'm not stupid." Luo Ling took out a dark red pill from the storage ring and stuffed it into his mouth without any explanation, "Qi and Blood's supplement, swallow it. Don't move, just take a moment."
The elixir melted in the mouth, and a warm medicinal power slid down the throat, spread in the stomach, and penetrated along the meridians to the limbs and bones. The soreness all over the body was slightly relieved. Qin Tiexin took a few breaths, and the broken pictures in his mind began to piece together bit by bit.
Blood pool, Duan Xuan, pink halo, broken arm, runes.
His pupils shrank suddenly and he looked up at Luo Ling: "Master, that Golden Core monk--"
"Dead." Luo Ling patted the ashes on his knees and said in an understatement, "Your senior brother cooperates with me. It's a matter of two hammers."
After saying that, Luo Ling pointed to the side, and the red shadow on the ground could barely be seen to be a human figure.
Chen Xi was squatting not far away collecting the formation flags. When he heard this, he didn't even look back. He just waved his hand, meaning "little things".
Qin Tiexin was stunned for a moment.
Golden Core Peak, True Person Iron Fist who killed Meridian Opening Middle Stage with one strike, and True Person Xueying who used more than 300 of them as medicinal materials to refine them, are "two hammers" in the Master's words.
He felt that his strength had recovered a little, and he wanted to sit up again. As a result, his right shoulder only shook slightly, and his empty shoulder blade rubbed a shallow mark on the gravel ground.
Then he realized that his right arm was no longer there.
To be precise, his right arm was lying quietly beside him, but it was no longer on his body.
He turned his head and glanced at his empty right shoulder and arm on the ground. Chen Xi The sealing talisman attached glowed with a pale golden luster under the cold light of fluorite. The fracture was sealed by a seal, so no blood would flow out for the time being.
"It's good to be alive." Luo Ling's tone returned to his usual unforgiving spirit, but the lingering fear in his voice has not completely dissipated. I am only a young disciple of the Qi Refinement Realm. Even with the life-saving means given by Chen Xi, I am lucky to have survived from the hands of monk Golden Core.
When the two came in, they only saw the final scene of Qin Tiexin being shot through the head and his body returning to its original shape. They didn't quite know how he survived. They only knew that an extremely tragic battle took place here, and True Person Xueying's legs were cut off.
However, Luo Ling did not ask any more questions. Firstly, now was not the time to ask. Qin Tiexin was in very bad condition and had not yet fully recovered. Secondly, Luo Ling knew very well that every monk had his own secrets, and she never interfered with the secrets of her apprentices.
Just like she came all the way from the Divine Sword Sect, sometimes she suspected that Chen Xi was not Golden Core Early Stage at all, and that his strength might not be much worse than her Golden Core Peak, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that Qin Tiexin wanted to sit up, Luo Ling reached out to help him, but he gently blocked it.
He shifted his center of gravity to his left arm and slowly straightened up. His movements were very slow, and the muscles in his body were aching every time he moved. The empty right shoulder made him a little weightless, and his body was still trying to use his right hand to support the ground. His shoulder blade moved, which affected the sealing talisman at the break, and a dull pain came from it.
Luo Ling looked at his action of holding himself up with one arm, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Her little disciple has always been like this.
Qin Tiexin sat up straight, turned to Luo Ling and Chen Xi, lowered his head and saluted. "Thank you, master, thank you, senior brother."
"I'm one of you, why are you so polite?" Luo Ling waved his hand.
Chen Xi also turned back and smiled at him, "By the way, junior brother, your little puppet is broken. I'll get you a better one later."
Qin Tiexin nodded. When he was sinking into the pink sea of consciousness, the palm-sized wooden man suddenly appeared and absorbed his consciousness that was on the verge of dissipation from the deep pink sea. He still remembered the warmth wrapped in runes very clearly. When Chen Xi led his consciousness out of another puppet, his consciousness returned to his own body.
Although I don't know the reason, my life was indeed saved by Senior Brother Chen Xi.
Feeling that his body strength had regained some strength, Qin Tiexin slowly stood up with his left hand on the ground, raised his head, and scanned every corner of the cave.
Rubbles, pools of dried blood, broken stalagmites, and domes that were smashed through.
The heavy black knife was stuck crookedly in the gravel. His eyes moved inch by inch, carefully not missing any bulge or depression on the ground.
Qin Tiexin scanned the entire cave and didn't see what he was looking for. He was silent for two breaths and then spoke, with a hint of hope in his voice.
"Master... have you seen a female cultivator?"
Luo Ling's hand paused. She raised her head and glanced at Qin Tiexin. She was silent for a while before speaking, "When we came, you were the only one here."
Qin Tiexin After listening, he lowered his head and stared blankly at the gravel ground under his feet.
It seems that the last scene he saw before he fell unconscious was not an illusion. Duan Xuan did fall from his palm and was swallowed by the pool of blood.
He just wanted to confirm that since he was still alive, would Duan Xuan also...?
Maybe there are some remaining traces, maybe she is trapped somewhere else, maybe she is still there.
But Master's words blocked all "maybes".
Qin Tiexin sighed softly, looking away from the gravel and looking at the hole that was punched through the dome of the cave.
It is said that life and death in the world of immortality are impermanent. Only when it happened around me did I realize how serious this statement is.
No.
He suddenly remembered something.
"Senior brother." Qin Tiexin turned to Chen Xi, speaking a little faster than usual, "Duan Xuan told me before that she has a jade pendant that can protect the warrior's true soul. Could it be...?"
Chen Xi was putting away the last formation flag when he heard this and stopped moving for a moment.
A jade pendant with a true spirit that never dissipates? This level of life-saving Law Artifact cannot be obtained by ordinary sects.
The Little Death-Substitution Puppet he gave to his junior brother before was already an extremely rare life-saving thing. He didn't expect that the female cultivator had something similar on her body.
"If the true spirit is protected in Jade Perry, it is indeed possible." Chen Xi stood up and clapped his hands, "There is still a chance if the true spirit is not dispersed. However, the cost of rebuilding the body is very high. It requires a monk above Nascent Soul Realm to take action, or to find several extremely rare reshaping spiritual materials."
Qin Tiexin Hearing the words "It is indeed possible", he turned around and walked towards the rubble pile at the bottom of the blood pool.
He walked very quickly, holding his left arm on the stone wall to keep his balance. He stepped on gravel and blood stains under his feet and walked to the approximate location where Duan Xuan sank to the bottom of the pool.
The blood pool has dried up, and the Spirit Rune Stone plate at the bottom of the pool is exposed to the air, with a layer of dark red residue still remaining on the surface.
His Divine Sense is still severely restricted and cannot be released easily. He can only squat down and use his left hand to turn over the gravel piece by piece. His movements are not fast but very steady. He turns over each piece of Shitou and then throws it aside.
Chen Xi also came over, asked what the jade pendant looked like, walked directly to the other side, closed his eyes for a moment, and then walked towards the rubble pile on the east side of the cave.
Qin Tiexin turned over dozens of pieces of gravel but found nothing, and then walked to the core of the formation in the center of the bottom of the pool. The Spirit Rune Stone board there was more broken than in other areas, and there was still a very light trace of blood on the ground.
At this moment, Chen Xi walked back to him. Qin Tiexin looked up and saw Chen Xi extending his right hand with his palm spread out in front of his eyes. In his palm, there was a jade pendant lying.
It is round, no more than the size of a thumb, with rounded edges and delicate jade quality. The Spirit Rune inside is nested layer by layer. There is a very faint shadow curling up quietly at the core of Spirit Rune.
He recognized the jade at a glance. In the blood pool, Duan Xuan stuffed it into his palm. He still remembered the cool feeling seeping out from the depths of the jade pendant. Now the jade was covered with blood stains and stone powder, but the Spirit Rune inside was still flowing slowly.
"Junior brother, do you think this is it?" Chen Xi's tone was calm, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
