Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1279 - 382: Twofold Meaning

Chapter 382 [Dual Implications]

When Chen Yan woke up, he felt a damp coolness on his head. Opening his eyes, he saw Lin Qingquan looking down at him.

This Old Deng was squatting in front of him, holding a gourd, pouring water onto his head.

Chen Yan snorted, raised an eyebrow, and tried to sit up from the ground.

He casually wiped his hair and sneered, "What, you’re upset, so you pour water on my head to vent your anger?"

"You’re like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a good man’s heart," Lin Qingquan snorted angrily, "This Clear Heart Spirit Spring is rare and very good for your injuries. If it weren’t for your own good, I wouldn’t use it on you."

Chen Yan struggled to sit up but instinctively groaned. He felt a sharp pain and tightness in his chest; just that slight movement almost robbed him of breath, and half of his body went limp and numb, subconsciously tilting to one side.

Lin Qingquan grabbed his arm to steady him, smiling slightly, "Well, now you know the severity, right? What do you think it means when a Saint takes action? Do you think a small Substitute Puppet could block it all for you?"

Pausing, he composed himself and said seriously, "When a Saint takes action, even suppressing their cultivation, their moves still contain awe-inspiring power and karma cycles! The damage to your body is not something a mere Substitute Puppet can block entirely; it can only help you withstand most of it, but ultimately some damage will directly affect your body."

Chen Yan stayed silent, quietly circulating his Primordial Qi within his body, only to find his Primordial Qi depleted. The aftermath of exhaustion made him dizzy, and the sharp pain in his mind was like needles, even his Divine Sense faltered for a moment.

Is this an injury to the Primordial Spirit’s Divine Sense?

Just as he pondered, Lin Qingquan already had the gourd stretched out before him, "Take it, drink!"

Chen Yan glanced up at this Old Deng, knowing the other wouldn’t harm him, and silently took it, taking a sip from the gourd mouth.

Unexpectedly, the moment it entered his throat, a refreshing fragrance filled his mouth, and Primordial Qi surged! This liquid was indeed extraordinary, but why did it have a faint wine taste?

With a gulp, a subtle warmth flowed up through his throat, alleviating that stabbing pain in his brain by a good measure.

Looking up, he saw Lin Qingquan retrieve the gourd, then pulled out a bottle from his pocket, pouring some into the gourd.

The bottle in his hand, the familiar packaging was clearly...

Little Bird Vodka?!

Seeing this scene, Chen Yan was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but grit his teeth, "Didn’t you say this was some kind of Spirit Spring?"

"Nonsense, Clear Heart Spirit Spring is extremely rare; it took considerable favors to obtain this gourd, using up my eighty-year quota. Such a good thing, use a little, less one. Usually, it needs diluting, adding some alcohol also boosts energy and warms the soul."

As Lin Qingquan spoke, he flapped his sleeves, scattering a large bundle of items in front of Chen Yan.

"Here, these are your things, left at the original place, I picked them up for you."

Chen Yan rifled through the items in the bag, seeing his Soul Reflecting Mirror, a knife, and the Substitute Puppet he’d already used.

·

This place was under a mountain slope, several kilometers away from the entrance of the Boundary Wall Array.

Previously, Chen Yan had used the Substitute Puppet; that treasure could substitute death once. When used, its spell activated, transporting Chen Yan’s body several miles away through a Divine Movement Technique.

Such a means of escaping death was a lifesaving method for cultivators in dire straits.

Just avoiding death wasn’t enough, for if after avoiding a fatal blow, the enemy struck again, wouldn’t it lead to the same deathly end?

It requires "substitute death and escape", to be a truly effective Substitute Puppet.

This Divine Instant Teleportation Technique merely allowed escape for a few kilometers, only because when repairing this puppet, Chen Yan didn’t have the right materials at hand and had to piece it together.

It’s said that a full version of the Substitute Puppet can instantaneously cover over a hundred miles.

After sitting up, Chen Yan took two deep breaths, then sat down for meditation to circulate his Primordial Qi.

Lin Qingquan didn’t say much, seeing Chen Yan meditating, he simply walked ten steps away, finding a clean spot to sit and keep guard for Chen Yan.

Chen Yan’s cycling of Primordial Qi lasted several hours, a full circulation cycle taking place until the sky gradually darkened.

In this mountain wilderness, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was not dense—after all, Primordial Qi in this world was thin. After a full circulation, it merely alleviated the post-exhaustion collapse a bit, unable to fully recover, but that state of weakness, void of Primordial Spirit and lethargy did slightly improve.

Standing up from the ground, Lin Laodeng saw him from afar and immediately came over.

After sizing up Chen Yan to ensure no major issues, Lin Laodeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his tone carrying a tinge of fear, "Kid, don’t act recklessly like that again. Do you know how terrified I was when I saw the Saint strike you down? My legs went weak. If you really died here, how would I report back to that Venerable ancestor?"
