My gorgeous wife Chapter 2377 - 2345: Methods for Rapid Recovery
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
Li Chen ran swiftly.
Right now, he looked nothing like the previously Unparalleled Benevolence, Red Dust Saint.
His face was pale as gold paper, and his body lay limp and powerless on the enlarged blade of the Red Moon, allowing it to carry him as it sped forward.
The clash with the Lightning Sun Tao Saint earlier was truly brutal. Even now, Li Chen hadn’t fully recovered.
He realized that his cultivation was practically non-existent compared to those Palm Realm powerhouses.
The attack that repelled Lightning Sun Tao Saint and injured him had come at a price unimaginable to those in the Palm Realm.
Li Chen had advanced his divine soul inexplicably after swallowing the Purified Soul Pearl. If it were anyone else relying solely on divine soul force to catalyze such an attack, they would barely escape suffering grievously, if not fatal.
Even if it were the Yu Clan, it would be no exception.
After all, even Powerhouses of the Yu Clan need cultivation to catalyze such powerful divine skills.
Right now, Li Chen was practically a unique...special Mid-Heaven Realm.
"Void Realm, Heavenly Level First Layer."
While lying on the Red Moon’s blade, Li Chen wanted to consider how to advance next. However, his mind spun, and he felt a sharp, tearing pain coming from his divine soul, prompting him to stop thinking immediately.
"You brat, you’re really something..."
Even the Seven Realms Tome didn’t know how to describe Li Chen at this moment.
Calling him smart, sometimes he was astonishingly foolish.
Many fights he could have avoided, yet he chose to stay.
But calling him foolish, given the recent situation, if it had been anyone else besides Li Chen, they might not have managed to resolve the predicament so easily.
Who exactly was this guy?
Setting aside the eighty-million-year confrontation, the Seven Realms Tome had been with Li Chen for several years, but to this day, it still hadn’t fully figured out what kind of person Li Chen truly was.
Perhaps, only the Red Moon and those closest to Li Chen knew his true thoughts.
Only those who had truly witnessed Li Chen’s growth could understand what kind of man he really was.
"How long will it take for me to recover in this state?" Li Chen’s divine soul dimmed, feebly asking the Seven Realms Tome.
With his cultivation, he could only unleash that one attack.
If after that strike, Lightning Sun Tao Saint hadn’t stopped, or Poem Shadow Dao Saint hadn’t appeared, then Li Chen at that moment...would have been nothing more than fish on a chopping block.
But this piece of fish leaned on his wits and managed to turn the tables, escaping from such a dangerous situation.
Not only did he escape, but he also managed to have a group of Ancient Ancestors and two Dao Saints owe him a huge favor. And the cost was just half of half a fingernail-sized piece of Yu Hun Xiang.
This business was profitable.
It’s not about frugality; Li Chen believes in saving where he can. After all, this item is extremely rare, and even he doesn’t know how long this single piece of Yu Hun Xiang will last.
Moreover, if it wasn’t needed, he could use it for his family and friends if he returned to the Starry Universe in the future. Why give it away to a bunch of people who previously plotted against him?
"Based on your current lingering dead-like state," the Seven Realms Tome made a clicking noise: "Tsk tsk, you shouldn’t plan on moving for at least half a year."
Although Li Chen was curious about where this book’s voice was coming from, upon hearing that he wouldn’t be able to move for half a year, his face instantly turned bitter.
Previously, it was understandable when he couldn’t move. But now that the black qi had been suppressed, and he had regained control over his body, yet again he couldn’t move. What was going on?
Did he have some connection with being a vegetable?
"But..." the Seven Realms Tome continued: "The Yu Clan has profound knowledge of telekinesis, and their soul power research is extensive too. After all, soul power is regarded as the foundation of telekinesis. Among the treasures of the Yu Clan, perhaps there is something that can help you recover quickly."
"Then quickly find it." Li Chen’s eyes shone brightly; he now wished most to rapidly restore his cultivation. Posturing requires skills; when done with confidence, it’s quite extraordinary—like before, when he had no confidence, even though he acted with grand righteousness, he was still worried about being struck down at any time.
"Some items can indeed rapidly restore your weakened divine soul, but..."
Before finishing, the Seven Realms Tome felt as if it had been struck by something, and two eyes appeared on the book, glancing sideways with sudden rage.
"Brat, why did you throw a shoe at me? Do you not want to restore your divine soul?"
Li Chen, gritting his teeth, said, "Could this wretched book finish speaking in one breath without gasping?"
Red Moon’s blade trembled lightly a few times.
"Ahem ahem!"
The Seven Realms Tome landed on Red Moon’s blade, knocking: "Little creature, what are you giggling about?"
However, the blade started trembling even more violently.
"Alright, alright."
The Seven Realms Tome spoke: "Frankly, your body is too frail, completely disproportionate to your strong divine soul. Yu Clan’s Spiritual Objects might recover your divine soul swiftly but will simultaneously replenish your body’s energy consumption. With your frail build, compensating will be too much; one small error, your divine soul might not even recover, and your body could burst prematurely."
"Is that so?" Li Chen furrowed his brows, just about to consider a solution when a sharp pain his mind halted his thoughts.
"But we still have Yu Hun Xiang, right?" Li Chen said: "Yu Hun Xiang can swiftly boost my cultivation. Now that my realm is low, there aren’t too many concerns; directly breaking through the realm shouldn’t take much time, right?"
"Indeed," Seven Realms Tome agreed: "So now, we need to quickly find a hidden place to trap the scent of Yu Hun Xiang, allowing your cultivation to rise swiftly to Domain Realm or above. According to my estimate, it should barely withstand the impact brought by the spiritual object."
"Okay." Li Chen nodded, feeling helpless: "But where can we find such a place now?"
Li Chen was truly helpless now; his cultivation was too low, his divine soul injured. Even some advanced hidden formations couldn’t be set up.
The scent of the Yu Hun Xiang clearly had powerful penetration power, drawing Palm Realm powerhouses from unknown distances to tear through space to approach. Low-level formations were useless, incapable of blocking it.
At least a seventh-level formation was needed to block the leakage of the Yu Hun Xiang scent.
The Seven Realms Tome possessed vast knowledge, but after all...it was just a book.
Who has ever heard of a book setting up formations?
At that moment, Li Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Because he saw a slightly wretched figure not far away.
That figure was none other than Qu Qiu, the dean of the Naval Empire whom Li Chen met earlier.
