"Spirit…root, collapse? What do you mean?" Li Xiaokun looked at Cheryl uneasily.
" It's when the spiritual energy is in disorder during cultivation that the spiritual roots are damaged. These children have only been awakened for less than two days, and their spiritual stars have just taken shape. If the method is not appropriate, the foundation will collapse, and the spiritual stars condensed in their bodies will be instantly torn apart. In the lighter cases, their spiritual roots will disappear, and they will never be able to learn martial arts for the rest of their lives. In the more serious cases, they will be paralyzed and disabled, and they may even die at any time!”
Li Xiaokun instantly broke out in a cold sweat. His eyes were filled with heartache as he squatted on the ground. He looked at her pale face and called out softly,"Hoshi…Can Hoshi hear me?"
"Sister, are there any alchemists around here?”Cheryl said anxiously.
"The Alchemist Union left a year ago, and the nearest hospital can only treat external injuries.”
"Then…Then what should he do? What did this child do wrong? I can't just watch him die from the pain, right?!”
"What are you shouting for? Aren't we thinking of a way?" Qing Mei glared at Li Xiaokun, grabbed his arm, and pulled him to the side."Get up!"
Li Xiaokun stood up resentfully.
Qingjiu frowned and observed for a while. Her face was extremely ugly. Without saying anything, she took off a pendant from her neck. The pendant was a small swan. When she opened it, a light green pill rolled out.
Mundo's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle tip."This is…Spirit Gathering Pill?"
"Yes." Qing Mei nodded." I don't know how long I can last. Let's save our lives first."”
"That's the only way."
Mundo gently pinched Hoshi's mouth to make a small opening. The green pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and a cool feeling spread throughout his body.
Li Xiaokun heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the pain on his face had lessened.
"Just... What did you feed him just now?"
"Spirit Gathering Pill." " This is a pill that can only be found by chance," said Mondo with a solemn expression." It's extremely helpful to those who advance." This meant that even if the advancement failed, it would ensure that the spiritual root would not be damaged. This was especially so for a Level Nine martial artist who was breaking through to the next level. It played a vital role. In the entire Overgod Continent, there were only a handful of such treasures. Now that he was using it on Hoshi, he had to stabilize the wanton flow of reiki in his body to prevent his physical body from being injured.”
Li Xiaokun felt a ripple in his heart when he heard that. He slowly squatted down, took out a tissue, and carefully wiped Hoshi's forehead. Intentionally or unintentionally, the corners of his mouth gently spat out two words,""Thank you…"
"But this isn't the solution. Although the Spirit Gathering Pill was precious, once the time passed, the spiritual energy would become chaotic again. This child's life would be in danger!”Mundo got up and started pacing back and forth.
"Why don't I go home and ask Father?”Cheryl probed.
Qing Mei shook her head." How could there be anyone who practices medicine in our celestial race? Oh right, didn't you go to the Sacred Institute for a few days? There should be a lot of healers there.”
"But…That place was too far away. Just the journey alone would take a month.”
"Damn it, if you really can't do it, go to the guards! I'll get the captain to think of a way!" Mundo stomped his foot anxiously.
"You know the procedures of the guards better than me. Can this child wait that long?”
"What does that mean? Just like what Old Li had said, he could only watch the child die from the pain!？”
"Why are you shouting too?" Qing Mei glared at him and sighed."Actually, I've been thinking a lot just now. I've thought about everything you said. It was either too long or too far away. There was no time at all in this situation.
I know some healers in private, but the collapse of a person's spiritual root is related to their life and death. It's not a small matter. I'm afraid that if I find them, their abilities are limited and they will delay the best time to save them.”
"Then, then according to what you said, there's nothing we can do?!”Mondo was a little unwilling.
Qing Mei was silent for a moment. She raised her head and said with a complicated expression,""Actually…I know someone who might have a way.”
"Who is it? Where was he? Do you live far away?" Li Xiaokun stood up as if he had seen a flame in the dark night.
"His name is Ola. He doesn't live far away, but this person is a little strange.”
"Ola?" Mondo scratched his head thoughtfully."I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before.”
"Then what are we waiting for? Lead the way!" Li Xiaokun carried Hoshi on his back.
"Wait! You put it down. Let me do it. My back is wider, and he'll be more comfortable lying down.”
Li Xiaokun was stunned for a moment before he nodded gratefully."Then…You've worked hard."
In the pitch-black night sky, the silver moon hung high in the sky. The faint moonlight draped a layer of silver gauze over the ground, making it look exceptionally mysterious.
After leaving the school gate, they walked northwest for a whole hour, but there was no sign of stopping. Li Xiaokun was a little anxious, but he couldn't say anything. After hesitating for a long time, he asked,"Qingmei, are you not here yet? We've been walking for more than an hour.”
"Yeah, if we continue forward, we will reach the outskirts of Star Capital.”Mundo panted.
Qing Mei stopped in her tracks and frowned. She said something that made everyone's hair stand on end.
"It seems... Did you go the wrong way?"
“......”
“......”
“......”
"Big sister! Can you not play at this time?" Li Xiaokun's eyes widened as he gritted his teeth.
Qing Mei's face was red as she said coquettishly," I'm not lying to you. I really came here. It's just that this person has a strange personality and rarely lets people know his whereabouts." I came here with my father by chance last year, but I remember there was a big tree at that time. The crown was very big, and I walked along the big tree."
Before he could finish, Li Xiaokun pointed ahead."Look, is it that one?"
As far as the eye could see, the mountains in the distance were covered in green, and smoke was rising. The miasma of the plague was floating in the air. At the foot of the mountain, a huge banyan tree rose to the sky. The huge crown of the tree almost blocked all the moonlight, and the ground became a dark and cool world.
"That's right! That's it! Let's go over quickly!"
The four of them walked under the tree in one breath. Li Xiaokun raised his head."Heavens, isn't this mountain too high? Are we going to climb the mountain?"
Forget it, I'll just crawl!
Hoshi, hold on!
Li Xiaokun looked at the cold-faced youth, and a sense of conviction ignited in his heart. He stepped forward and rushed forward.
However, just as he took a step forward, he felt a layer of cool facial mask on his entire face. It was cool and refreshing.
When he opened his eyes, he was stunned.!
This was…Where did the mountain go?
Why was there an endless desert in front of him?!
He turned around in horror, only to find that he was still in the night sky of Star Capital.
Damn it!
What was going on?
On the other hand, the other three people only had a flash of surprise on their faces.
Seeing Li Xiaokun's confused expression, Cheryl hurriedly explained,"This is a barrier."
"Barrier?"
"Yes, there are many types of barriers. Some can be used to form a barrier during battle for protection. There were also some similar ones that formed an illusion barrier to confuse the opponent.”
"Yes, Cheryl is an outstanding enchanter.”Qing Mei added.
"Stop joking, sister. I can't release a barrier of this scale.”
"Alright, let's continue walking. I remember that we will see a bridge after walking for a short while in this desert.”
Li Xiaokun couldn't accept the fact that night had suddenly turned into dusk and the forest into a desert.
However, when he saw the boy behind him, his heart hardened. Even if there was a mountain of knives under his feet, he had to go.
?? As they headed north, they left behind a series of lonely footprints in the desolate desert. The four of them covered their hands against the dry wind. The rolling sand instantly covered their tracks, as if no one had ever been here.
Silently, fog actually appeared?
Mundo was shocked and quickly stopped. He raised his head vigilantly. There was not even a cloud in the clear sky. How could there be fog?
For a moment, the four of them looked at each other. And this fog was actually blue?
This was too strange!
The mist around his eyes gradually thickened, and the blue light lingered around him. It was hazy, and the blue sun behind him shone with a bewitching light.
"This blue mist is all magical elements.”Cheryl said as she reached out and gently caressed him.
"It seems like he already knows about us. Let's go, let's speed up!”Mundo suggested.
"Why don't I recite it for a while?"
"No need. This child is not heavy."
Time was like yellow sand slipping through his fingers. A blue crabapple bloomed under his feet in the misty fog. Suddenly, a soft sound was heard, as if something was about to break out of the sand.
Immediately after, the blue fog in the air floated under his feet, and the voices in his ears rose and fell.
She lowered her head. The blue light under her feet was like blue diamonds scattered all over the ground. It was crystal clear and bright, shining in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Upon closer inspection, one after another, tender seedlings broke out of the soil, glowing with a beautiful luster. They were clear and demonic. After a short pause, a series of rustling sounds rang out. Then, with a brilliant blue light, the tender seedlings all over the ground grew in an instant.
The blue sun sank, and the misty desert was covered in a strange veil.
"Pow!" The flowers bloom and make a sound.
The azure blue under the desert bloomed into a blue ocean the moment the sunset disappeared. It was like the sea of love on the Greek Peninsula, sparkling and translucent. It was dreamy and intoxicating.
They grew to a foot tall, and their bodies were like deep sea corals. They were translucent jade, and their petals were enchanting. When they bloomed, they carried a demonic aura that refreshed the heart.
The four of them looked at the ocean that had suddenly appeared. Blue light flowed endlessly.
The Resurrection Lily in the desert?
Climbing up the yellow sand, the lotus leaves were sparkling with water droplets. The blue lotus that had just opened was crystal clear and cute. The silver-covered petals were as bright as the moon, revealing the pearl-like stamen, like a young girl's smile.
The air was filled with a faint fragrance. At this moment, it was as if he was surrounded by incense in the pavilion. The desert was vast, and the mist dyed the setting sun blue. The boundless desert suddenly had a cluster of red spider lilies, carrying a mysterious religious color and an indescribable fantasy.
The breeze blew gently, and the fragrance was intoxicating.
The blooming flowers made popping sounds, forming a cheerful applause. A solemn welcoming ceremony was held for them on this ancient road that had been wasted years.
The flowers on the other shore bloomed on both sides and gathered together. Love was not karma. Fate determined life and death. After removing his memories, the road to the Yellow Springs was like a flower blooming with a thought, and a flower withering with a thought.
Curious, Cheryl squatted down and reached out to touch the beautiful flowers.
"Bang!" There was a dull sound.
The magic elves that passed by were awakened, and the flourishing fragrance of poppies was victorious.
After the flowers bloomed, the sea of flowing lights and colors actually withered at the same time. Like fireworks, they filled the blue mist. The last ray of light refracted down, reflecting countless Smurfs dancing.
Accompanied by the afterglow, the bewitching petals first withered. Then, the vines withered and lost their color, instantly turning yellow. It was as if they had waited bitterly for hundreds of years until they were short-lived, exhausted their vitality, and shattered into powder.
The world returned to darkness.
They walked out of the enchantment and completed this short and magical journey.
A small bridge suddenly appeared in front of them.
"I'm finally out, thank God."”
Li Xiaokun saw her lingering fear and was a little puzzled."What's wrong?"
"We will be killed in the blink of an eye in the enchantment.”
" What?!" Li Xiaokun broke out in cold sweat.
"That's right." "But he doesn't seem to have any intention of killing us."”
"No, what are you guys talking about? Why does he want to kill us? And who was this person? I've been holding this question in for the entire journey!"
Qing Mei glanced at him coldly and inhaled a breath of cold air. She muttered,"His name is Ola, and he's a Magician. People call him the Demon Maniac!”
"Demon Addict! Demon Addict? Are you talking about that crazy old man?" Mundo's body trembled, and he was so excited that he almost threw Hoshi to the ground.
"You've heard of it?"
"Of course. This person is simply a legend in the Star Capital! However, I heard from the captain that he went out a few years ago and never came back. It was rumored that he died in a foreign land. Why is he living here now?”
Qing Mei shrugged." You'll have to ask him about that. Come, let's talk as we walk."”
After passing through the stone bridge, they arrived at the bottom of a valley under the mountains. The mountains were covered with green vegetation. The four of them stood in the middle of the empty space. A cool breeze blew across their faces, and they could only feel a gust of cold wind. Li Xiaokun shivered."Who is this Demon Addict? Living in such a godforsaken place was too mysterious.”
"Sigh, I had the same idea as before. After I got home, I kept asking my father. It was a pity and hateful to mention Ola. He had been a magic genius since he was a child. He had activated his magic root at the age of seven and was already a Grade 3 mage at the age of ten. Such talent was enough to cause a sensation in all directions no matter where he was.
However, when everyone thought that an unprecedentedly powerful mage was about to appear in the Star Capital, Ola suddenly disappeared?
From then on, no one knew about him.
His father, who was an old friend, had also searched for him for a long time before finding him. In the end, he found that he was actually fascinated by rare treasures.
That damned fellow didn't cultivate properly. He only thought about how to find treasures every day. He tried to travel the entire Overgod Continent just to find some strange things.
He had devoted all his passion for magic to treasure hunting. Only when he encountered setbacks in the journey of treasure hunting would he force himself to make a sudden breakthrough.
His experiences and stories were full of legendary colors, and every one of them sounded extremely exciting. However, other than treating treasures as his life, his greatest characteristic was that this person's personality was extremely strange!
Not only did he have a bad temper, but he also didn't like to be found by others. He was simply like a child. Don't look at how his father was the clan leader. Even if he met him, he would have to coax him!”After saying that, he could not help but laugh bitterly.
As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared on the calm water surface!
Li Xiaokun was shocked. In a flash, he heard a crisp sound as if glass had shattered. Then, like magic, a small wooden house appeared out of thin air by the river!
"An invisible barrier?" Cheryl was shocked.
Qing Mei looked at the small wooden house and smiled."That's it."
Just as he reached the door of the wooden house, he heard a sharp curse coming from inside."Little stinky girl, I haven't seen you for a year and you've become so eloquent. You even dare to tell me stories!”
Qing Mei's face was slightly red as she smiled.""Thank you for sparing my life, Grandmaster."
Mundo suddenly thought of something and whispered,""Qingmei, you didn't say that on purpose, right?”
"What else?" Qing Mei looked at him resentfully. You even asked him to come out and look for us…"
" Hiss-" Li Xiaokun shivered. This woman was really scheming.
However, he was instantly filled with curiosity about the old man in the room. He wanted to take a good look at what kind of person this legendary magic genius was!
He carefully walked to the door. Just as he pricked up his ears, he heard heavy and uncoordinated footsteps coming from inside the room. They were getting closer and closer!
It's coming…It's coming!
He widened his eyes, and for some reason, he felt a little nervous!
"Squeak!" The wooden door was pulled open.
He only saw a golden light in front of him. A pair of huge mouths came into view first. They were slightly upturned, flat and wide. With a few tufts of yellow hair on his head, he looked like a punk pop singer from the sixties and seventies. Double eyelids, two black and round nostrils, a long neck, a slightly bloated body, a fat belly like a middle-aged man who didn't diet, short legs, and wide feet supporting the whole body, making him look extremely uncoordinated.
At first glance-
How was this a human?
This was a f * cking duck!
