The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2902 - 2877: The Long Healing Time
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
One by one, the Spiritual Medicines were devoured by Lin Bai, who cautiously circulated the "Scripture of Five Elements" to refine the medicinal power of the Spiritual Medicines, channeling it into the Divine Elixir and Dantian.
However, the process was too lengthy, to the point where Lin Bai could barely endure it.
A single Spiritual Medicine took Lin Bai three or four days to refine completely, allowing the Dantian and Divine Elixir to absorb all of it.
Yet absorbing one Spiritual Medicine was akin to a drop in the ocean for Lin Bai’s current Dantian and Divine Elixir; it vanished instantly like pouring a cup of water into a desert that had been arid for years.
But Lin Bai didn’t give up, silently picking up the next Spiritual Medicine.
And began again to refine.
These past few days, Lin Bai constantly tested whether Spiritual Medicines or Elixir Pills absorbed faster, but the conclusion was always the same.
Very slow, very slow!
Despite days of effort and experimentation, the quickest time for Lin Bai to absorb a Spiritual Medicine was around three days.
Half a month later, Lin Bai sat on the Wind Listening Terrace, opened his eyes, and shook his head saying, "Too slow, way too slow. At this rate, even if you give me ten years, I wouldn’t be able to restore my Dantian and Divine Elixir!"
Lin Bai said in a rather distressed manner.
Zhao Yue appeared on the Wind Listening Terrace at this moment, smiled calmly, and said, "Have you realized? You currently have no Spiritual Power to activate the Divine Elixir to refine Spiritual Medicines; without Spiritual Power, you cannot even display your Martial Soul!"
"Relying only on the strength of your physical body, it takes far too long to absorb one Spiritual Medicine!"
"Besides, you aren’t a Saint Body!"
"If you persist, there’s indeed a chance to recover your Dantian and Divine Elixir, but the process is lengthy, perhaps requiring five years or even longer!"
Zhao Yue said calmly.
"I imagine you don’t want to wait that long, and neither do I have that much time to wait for you!" Zhao Yue said calmly.
Lin Bai looked at Zhao Yue and asked, "Do you have any solution?"
Zhao Yue said, "Like I said, there’s a Divine Spirit Pool in the Southern Continent that can instantly heal your injuries!"
"From here to the Southern Continent, if you travel day and night through a Teleportation Array, it only takes three months at most to reach the Southern Continent’s borders!"
"Do you want to stay in Shenwu Kingdom for ten years to restore your Divine Elixir, or go with me to the Southern Continent, where you can recover your Dantian in mere breaths?"
Zhao Yue asked.
Lin Bai pondered for a moment and said, "If the Divine Spirit Pool can truly heal my Dantian in an instant, then it must indeed be a rare treasure in the Southern Continent!"
"Even if I go with you to the Southern Continent, how do we find the Divine Spirit Pool?"
Zhao Yue asked, "If the Divine Spirit Pool is still in the place it was ten thousand years ago, I can find it. You better pray it’s still there; otherwise, it’ll be difficult!"
"What I want your help with is also in the Southern Continent!"
"It’s the right time to head over now." Zhao Yue said softly.
Lin Bai contemplated for a long time, finally made up his mind, nodded in agreement, though the Creation Divine Palace holds many Spiritual Objects, Lin Bai’s absorption and refinement are too slow, preventing him from recovering Cultivation quickly.
If Lin Bai spends ten years recovering Cultivation in Shenwu Kingdom, the time would be too long for him.
"Alright, I’ll go with you to the Southern Continent!"
"But I still want to ask, what exactly do you want me to help with?"
Lin Bai asked curiously.
Zhao Yue shook her head and laughed, "Let’s discuss it after you restore your Cultivation. Otherwise, if we can’t find the Divine Spirit Pool, and you can’t restore your Cultivation, talking about it is pointless."
"You have a day to bid farewell to Emperor Xiao; tomorrow we’ll depart for the Southern Continent!"
With that, Zhao Yue left the Wind Listening Terrace.
Lin Bai sat down, closed his eyes, pondering.
At sunset, Bai Xiaoxiao came to the Wind Listening Terrace, seeing Lin Bai still meditating.
Bai Xiaoxiao originally didn’t want to disturb him, intending to turn away and leave.
But at that moment, Lin Bai called out, "You’ve been here several times, come up!"
On hearing Lin Bai’s voice, Bai Xiaoxiao walked up the Wind Listening Terrace and said, "Every time I came by, you were healing; I didn’t want to disturb you!"
"How are you? Are your injuries improving?"
Lin Bai shook his head and said, "The absorption of Spiritual Medicines is too slow; at this rate, it’ll take me at least five to ten years to recover my Dantian!"
"That long?" Bai Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "Do you have any other way?"
Lin Bai replied, "Zhao Yue said there’s a Divine Spirit Pool in the Southern Continent that can heal my injuries, so I’m planning to go with her tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression drastically changed and she said coldly, "Just you and her? Just the two of you?"
"No, even if you plan to go to the Southern Continent, I’ll have to send someone to accompany you!"
Bai Xiaoxiao said.
Lin Bai laughed and said, "What? Worried about me and her..."
Bai Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Of course, I’m not worried about you and her... Zhao Yue is someone from a millennium ago, with deep schemes, difficult to trust!"
"You saw on the Demon Slaying Platform her attitude in the face of Life and Death, completely unfazed, even welcoming it with a smile; this kind of person is the most terrifying!"
"You currently lack Cultivation, if she harbors murderous intent towards you on the way, you won’t even have the power to protect yourself!"
Bai Xiaoxiao said worriedly.
Lin Bai shook his head and laughed, "Naturally, it won’t be just the two of us; Lin Ye will also accompany us. Lin Ye having reached the Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection, he’ll protect me and ensure my safety!"
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes were still filled with concern, "Are you really going to the Southern Continent?"
Lin Bai gently embraced Bai Xiaoxiao and comforted her saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll return safely!"
Bai Xiaoxiao leaned on Lin Bai’s shoulder, the two cuddling together, watching the sunset fall over the horizon, watching the Bright Moon rise; they just leaned on each other, as if leaning until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble!
The next day at dawn, before the light of day, Lin Bai bid farewell to Bai Xiaoxiao and boarded the Spirit Boat with Zhao Yue, heading for the Southern Continent.
Given Lin Bai’s current special identity on the East Continent, he couldn’t openly leave Shenwu Kingdom to avoid unnecessary trouble from Warriors coveting the bounty on his head!
Bai Xiaoxiao stood in the Imperial Palace, watching Lin Bai and Zhao Yue’s Spirit Boat disappear over the horizon.
"Chu Jiangliu, instruct the Shadow Department to protect the Sword Prince as he leaves the East Continent. On the way, if anyone harbors any intention, eliminate them without question!" Bai Xiaoxiao said softly.
Chu Jiangliu nodded slightly and immediately arranged it.
Under the protection of Shenwu Kingdom’s Shadow Department, Lin Bai and Zhao Yue’s Spirit Boat encountered no danger during more than three months of travel, safely leaving the East Continent, and arriving at the Nanzhou Continent!
