Jade Wave Hot Spring

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Liu Chun looked up at him, her voice choked with gratitude:

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

For some reason, hearing Lin Xiao say that made him feel that his sister's chances of survival had increased significantly, and his previously depressed heart had calmed down considerably.

Seeing that Liu Chun looked tired and listless, Jiang Youfu took out a lot of Spirit Cuisine he had made himself from his Storage Bag and piled it in front of Liu Chun:

"Elder Liu, eat something, cheer up, there's definitely hope for our eldest sister."

Liu Chun smiled gently at him and said:

"Alright, thank you, Elder Jiang."

At this moment, Liao Pantu emerged from the Soul-Nourishing Pendant and sat opposite Liu Chun, saying to him:

"Thankfully, your talisman is keeping your sister afloat in this situation..."

After thinking for a moment, he took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to Liu Chun:

"I don't have anything good here right now. This is Origin-Nourishing Pill. Take it and feed it to your sister when she can open her mouth."

At this moment, Liu Chun did not politely refuse their kindness; he accepted it with great gratitude.

"Thank you very much, Senior Liao."

The group chatted for a while longer, but before Liu Qin's medicinal bath was over, Lin Xiao, who had just returned, stood up and addressed the group:

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. I'll head over to the Yuan Household now and ask them for a visit."

With that, he went out and left the inn.

During their back-and-forth conversation, Yuan Bi and Yuan Ruogu's discussion did not end.

Moreover, after they left, the Yuan Household's guards returned to their usual order.

Lin Xiao arrived at the Yuan Household's gate, but after thinking for a moment, he did not visit them directly. Instead, he sent a message to Yuan Qing, saying that he had urgent business to discuss with the head of the Yuan Household.

Although he had just helped someone and said he didn't need anything in return, it seemed a bit inappropriate to go to their door again right away, but thinking of Liu Chun, Lin Xiao couldn't worry about that anymore.

So what if I'm a little thick-skinned?

Not long after receiving the news from Yuan Qing, Yuan Bi immediately made arrangements to quietly welcome Lin Xiao into the Yuan Household.

The two arrived at Yuan Bi's study, and Yuan Bi immediately spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please speak freely. Our Yuan Household has received such a great favor from you, so please don't feel embarrassed."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but admire him. This Yuan Household patriarch was truly adept at handling people. He even considered this and took the initiative to bring it up himself, thus avoiding embarrassment for Lin Xiao.

So Lin Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and immediately explained the general condition of Liu Chun's younger sister's body, and then asked:

"I have come here to ask Yuan Household if there is any good way to save my good friend's sister?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bi was somewhat surprised that Lin Xiao had come to save someone.

After all, he had just saved his own ancestor.

But then I thought about it again, and it made sense. My ancestor's situation was completely different from that of his friend's sister.

Yuan Bi pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said:

"There is a Jade Wave Hot Spring behind the Yuan Household mountain, which can nourish the body's meridians. However, according to what you said, that female Daoist's injury is quite serious. Even the Jade Wave Hot Spring of my Yuan Household will hardly have a miraculous effect in a short time. If you want to use it, you will have to soak for a long time for it to be effective."

Lin Xiao had only approached the Yuan Household with a try-it-and-see attitude, but to his surprise, the Yuan Household actually had a solution. He was overjoyed and quickly asked:

"May I borrow your Lineage's Jade Wave Hot Spring? What are the rental terms?"

Yuan Bi then chuckled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what are you saying? It's just a pool of water; you can soak in it as you please. You don't need to make any conditions. It's just that when I said it would take a long time, I didn't mean one or two years. It might take five to ten years or even longer. Do you think your friend's side is okay with that?"

He would say this because their Yuan Household's Jade Wave Hot Spring is quite large, and it has separate sections.

The larger lower section of the hot spring is open to members of the Yuan Household.

The upper part, however, is where the head of the household and the heads of each branch of the family each have their own share.

At the very top is a small, exquisite pool, reserved exclusively for the Yuan Household patriarch.

It didn't matter whether the ancestor's share was lent or not. Anyway, Yuan Bi thought that since no one in his branch was using his share right now, lending it to Fellow Daoist Lin was no problem at all.

Hearing the time he mentioned, Lin Xiao was taken aback, seemingly not expecting it to take so long, but he still replied first:

"No matter how long it takes, my friend's sister can't wait any longer. We'll definitely have to borrow the Jade Wave Hot Spring from your Lineage. We'll also look for other ways to help his sister recover as soon as possible."

He paused, then, remembering Yuan Bi's statement that there was no need to borrow money, he didn't insist further.

After all, he had just saved the old man's ancestor and said he wanted to be friends, so there was no need to be too stubborn about it.

Anyway, we'll have a lot of interactions in the future, so we just need to be mindful of the appropriate level of courtesy and reciprocity.

So he complied.

"Then thank you for your kindness, Yuan Household. I will go back now and tell my friend the good news."

Yuan Bi nodded and said:

"Alright, I see the matter is urgent. Fellow Daoist, why don't you take them directly to the back mountain of my house? I'll come out to meet you and you can go in from there. That way, you won't be easily seen, and it's also more convenient."

Lin Xiao readily agreed to his thoughtfulness, and the two arranged to meet at the back mountain an hour later.

Watching Lin Xiao's departing figure, Yuan Bi thought of the friend he had just mentioned named Liu Chun, and felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

But I don't actually know anyone with that name.

So he shook his head and went to make the arrangements without giving it much thought.

At the inn, after the medicinal bath was over, Liu Chun took his sister out and put her back on the bed.

Liao Pantu examined her carefully again to check the specific condition of her body.

He then let out a long sigh.

Even if Liu Chun's younger sister, Liu Qin, were to have her body basically repaired, she would only be able to live like a normal person, but cultivation would be absolutely impossible for her.

Because her Dantian was already badly damaged.

Damage to the Dantian is extremely dangerous for a cultivator.

This means they can no longer cultivate, and all their previous cultivation levels have been completely lost.

Even if you live as an ordinary person, you won't be any better off than a normal person. On the contrary, you'll be much weaker than a normal person because a normal person at least has a intact Dantian).

However, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there are only two situations that are most difficult for cultivators to resolve.

First, the invasion of inner demons.

Second, damage to the Dantian).

They encountered both of these things at once.

If it were just damage to their Spirit Root, that would be one thing, since their sect's cultivation methods don't rely on Spirit Root.

But now that the Dantian is damaged, it's not so easy to repair.

After Lin Xiao returned, he told them about the Yuan Household's Jade Wave Hot Spring.

Liao Pantu had heard of the Yuan Household's Jade Wave Hot Spring before.
