417 Healing Injuries... (1/2)
The concentration of the Dark Qi in Li Wan'er's body shocked Wang Baole as he absorbed it. It was so concentrated that if he were a little bit later, Li Wan'er would have died!
It was perhaps inappropriate to call her a dead corpse. Rather, she would have become a living dead person, with the possibility of being controlled by others without the hope of redemption.
That made Wang Baole extremely solemn. Not only did he have to save Li Wan'er, but he also had to get to the bottom of what exactly happened to her. At the same time, he had to find out whether an incident like this was the exception or the norm, and if it was the future plans of the mastermind.
It was as if another crisis was happening even before the previous one was settled. Wang Baole took a deep breath and further activated the devouring seed. However, even if he put in all his effort in absorbing it, the Dark Qi inside Li Wan'er's body was so concentrated it was almost viscous, and her body was weak and unable to withstand the continuous absorption by Wang Baole's devouring seed.
Therefore, it was challenging to return everything to normal in a short period of time. The only option was to let her rehabilitate after every absorption and carry on the next day. Several days passed like this in order to remove the danger while restoring her foundation.
Even though he was unable to remove everything at once, Wang Baole could still allow her to regain consciousness. Therefore, as Wang Baole continued absorbing and healing her, after five minutes, Li Wan'er's body moved, and her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Wang Baole. That was especially so as the two of them were very near each other, and because Wang Baole was rushing to save her just now and didn't bother too much about other things, directly placing Li Wan'er on his lap.
Therefore, when she opened her eyes and noticed how intimate she was with Wang Baole, Li Wan'er took a deep breath. Even though she remained calm on the surface, she sat up naturally and moved back, sitting opposite Wang Baole, before revealing a complicated look in her eyes.
”Go on, tell me what happened.” Wang Baole stared at Li Wan'er, asking with a low voice, in no mood to care about other things.
Li Wan'er lowered her eyelids slightly. After taking a brief moment and calming down, she looked at her own body and began talking about what had happened.
”In order to prove the Art of Longevity, I personally cultivated it for a period of time, but I stopped after just a brief moment. However, for some unknown reason, the speed of my cultivation was unbelievable…”
”I have only practiced it for two days, yet I have reached another level…” Li Wan'er frowned, incredulous at that.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
”Another level?” Wang Baole was confused. He hadn't practiced the Art of Longevity himself and merely studied its mnemonic. Therefore, he wasn't as acquainted with it, unlike Li Wan'er, who had experienced it personally.
”Only the first part of the Art of Longevity has been made known. If cultivated to the extreme, it is possible for one to break through to the second part. However, the cultivation technique for the second part doesn't exist.”
”At the same time, once the second part is reached, all aura will be kept within, without any abnormalities…” Li Wan'er explained. Listening to her words, Wang Baole frowned yet again.
”Why didn't you say so earlier? Do you know that if I were just a minute late in saving you, you'd perhaps not be how you are right now?”
Li Wan'er was silent and didn't speak.
Wang Baole looked at the stubborn Li Wan'er and sighed. Even though she didn't say anything, he could guess the reason. The two of them were now so distant and were considered enemies to a certain extent. Therefore, with Li Wan'er's personality, she wouldn't have approached him for help and would have tried to resolve everything by herself.
In reality, that was just the case. Li Wan'er hadn't thought about asking Wang Baole for help. On one hand, she wanted to suppress it with her own cultivation, and on the other, she wanted to use the Dharmic artifact that Wang Baole had refined to dispel the evil aura by herself.
However, after trying it for a few days, not only did she not succeed, the situation made a turn for the worse. That was especially so tonight, as when she tried to dispel the evil aura, she felt a sense of something luring her!
That sensation wasn't clear cut, and it was as if she had lost control of her body. With sheer will, she forcefully regained control of her own body and realized that she was like a bag filled with acid, with the acid continuously corroding her internal organs and making her extremely weak. At the same time, she was unable to resolve the problem. In that life and death situation, she had little choice but to seek Wang Baole's help.
As a stubborn person, that was an extremely difficult thing to do. She felt embarrassed to reply to Wang Baole and therefore kept her silence. However, she knew her limits, and suddenly spoke after remaining silent for a while.
”Before I lost consciousness, I felt something luring me. While I was still awake, I arranged for someone to go to the place where that sensation originated from. However, I only know the general direction, and am not sure if they found the source of it.”
”Don't fret about this for now. Take care of yourself first.” After Wang Baole heard the details, he immediately sent out instructions using his voice transmission ring, before looking at Li Wan'er again.
