Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Xu Lei, of course, had also realized where Qing Lian was injured.

It was her chest.

A needle had struck her left breast.

And it seemed to have hit its mark dead-on.

"I'll just take a look myself."

Qing Lian quickly turned away. "Senior, no peeking!"

Then she turned her back to him and undid her clothes to check her chest.

Xu Lei didn't look at what Qing Lian was doing.

Fine needles were still shooting out intermittently from the front, back, left, and right walls of the stone chamber.

These needles were surprisingly like some kind of liquid.

After their attacks missed, they fell to the ground and were reabsorbed.

While activating the black alms bowl to block them, Xu Lei observed the situation.

'The mechanism should be over there, right?'

Soon, Xu Lei located the key point. "Blow it up for me!"

He immediately took out a backpack-sized Explosive Package, lit the fuse, and threw it.

After all, for an ordinary person trapped in a place like this, using Magical Power to blast their way out would be quite difficult.

But Xu Lei had plenty of explosives, so he wasn't afraid at all.

BOOM.

A huge explosion rang out.

Just as he expected, one of the stone walls cracked.

The fine needles stopped shooting out.

"Senior, I feel awful."

But just then, Xu Lei suddenly heard Qing Lian behind him, her voice thick with tears as she turned into a complete crybaby. "After those needles pierced my chest, they attached themselves to it, like maggots."

"I can't even remove them with my Magical Power."

"Senior, am I going to die?"

"My chest hurts so much."

"It's so painful!"

"It feels like they're trying to corrode my body!"

Xu Lei was startled when he heard this.

"Let me see."

He immediately spun Qing Lian around to face him.

Seeing that Qing Lian was still a little embarrassed,

"I'm just a ten-year-old boy. Don't overthink it. There's no difference between men and women for us."

As Xu Lei spoke, he immediately placed his hand over Qing Lian's wound. "Don't resist. I'll see if I can use my Phoenix True Flame to clear it out."

"The Phoenix True Flame is a thing of pure yang. It has the effect of resisting and eliminating all sorts of evil."

Qing Lian naturally didn't dare say anything at this point; the situation was too serious.

She didn't want to endure the pain any longer, nor did she want to see her condition worsen.

As Xu Lei's hand touched Qing Lian's wound, he could feel that her skin was indeed as delicate as jade, like tofu.

While activating the Phoenix True Flame Power, Xu Lei caressed her soft wound.

He sent the Phoenix True Flame Power through the surface of her skin and into the wound. Just as he expected, he saw some evil red energy clinging inside.

It was even trying to devour her flesh and blood to evolve itself.

Fortunately, however, after the Phoenix True Flame Power entered,

this red energy reacted like a thief seeing a cop.

It was trapped by Xu Lei's Phoenix True Flame Power.

However, when Xu Lei tried to burn this energy away completely, he found it was quite difficult.

Although he could burn and expel it, the process was very slow.

Xu Lei could only expend some of his Magical Power to form a Rune with his Phoenix True Flame Power, trapping and sealing it in one spot.

But completely removing it wouldn't be possible in a short amount of time.

Xu Lei silently caressed Qing Lian's wound, channeling his Power.

The wounded area on Qing Lian was about the size and shape of a peach.

Fortunately, the wound wasn't very large.

A ten-year-old boy's palm could just cover half of it, and then he could cover the rest by shifting his position slightly.

"How does it feel?"

Xu Lei asked, "How is it now?"

"Thank you, Senior."

Qing Lian's pretty face flushed as she said, "It doesn't seem to hurt anymore. It's just... it's just a little itchy."

Xu Lei didn't say anything. With a serious expression, he continued to caress the area and channel his power, healing Qing Lian for a few more minutes.

"Luckily, it's not a major problem."

After a while, Xu Lei finally withdrew his hand, frowning. "I've sealed that strange energy, but it will likely require daily maintenance from now on!"

"I don't know how to remove it completely."

"This is the first time I've ever encountered such a thing."

"Ah?"

Qing Lian turned away, her face red. "Then... then, from now on, won't I have to ask Senior for help often—"

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

Xu Lei said, "After all, we came here together."

"Of course I know Senior is a good person and won't abandon me, it's just..."

But Qing Lian's beautiful eyes were still brimming with tears as she whispered, "It's just that I'm still—"

Xu Lei glanced at Qing Lian.

He knew what she was thinking, having spent so much time with her.

She still valued her chastity quite highly.

"If you don't want me to help treat you, that's fine too."

Xu Lei said, "I respect your decision."

"Senior, that's not what I mean."

Qing Lian said, "I just... I'm still asking for Senior to continue helping me."

"Don't overthink it."

Xu Lei said, "We are both Cultivators."

"We're not mortals, so why worry about chastity?"

"Are you afraid that your future Dao Companion will despise you for this?"

"Besides, we're not doing anything, it's just some friction between my palm and your skin."

"You won't get pregnant, you won't have a child."

"And I'm still a ten-year-old boy."

"Don't treat me like an adult just because I speak maturely."

"You shouldn't have any psychological barriers about this."

Qing Lian nodded.

Her eyes still glistened with moisture.

But she also knew that this was not the time to get hung up on such things.

"Senior, how do we get out of here now?"

Qing Lian asked.

"This damn place actually wants to trap us."

Xu Lei said, "Of course we can't let it have its way."

"I'd like to see if the methods left behind by this so-called Ancient Immortal can withstand my explosions!"

As he spoke, Xu Lei took out ten more backpack-sized packs of explosives.

He tossed them directly into the corner of the wall ahead.

Then, he used his Magical Power to remotely manipulate a Fire Stick over to detonate them.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE.

The entire wall was blown to bits.

The stone wall that they couldn't get through before was now broken open.

He saw the body of the criminal who had been sent inside earlier.

His entire body looked as if bacteria had devoured his skin, and he was lying on the ground.

After being hit by those fine needles, that Flame Energy had devoured some of the skin on his body.

When Qing Lian saw this, her face turned pale.

If not for Xu Lei's Phoenix True Flame just now, her chest might have ended up looking like that.

"Is there any Treasure inside?"

Of course, after blasting open the stone chamber, Xu Lei immediately checked the situation inside.

However, he saw a wooden box in the center being burned by flames.

'This must be a Restriction left by the Ancient Immortal.'

'If it's forcibly broken into, it destroys everything inside.'

But perhaps because the stone chamber had existed for far too long,

the Power of the Flame meant to incinerate the wooden box didn't feel very strong.

Seeing this, Xu Lei immediately activated his Lotus Treasure Fragments and sent them flying inside.

They retrieved the wooden box.

The incinerating Flame was rising from beneath the stone platform it rested on.

So as long as he moved it away, it would no longer be burned.

And now,

the wooden box was only damaged on the surface.

The inside of the wooden box seemed to be intact.

Xu Lei didn't touch it with his hands. Instead, he used his Magical Power to control a Lotus Treasure Fragment and open the box.

Inside, he saw quite a few bottles and jars, as well as some Jade Scrolls and Talismans.

"That's great! The things inside don't seem to have been destroyed."

Qing Lian couldn't help but cheer. "Senior, you're too strong!"

"The Demon Empress plotted against us!"

"But in the end, she just delivered Treasure to us!"

"No, wait, to you, not to me."

"I'm still injured!"

"And I still have to rely on Senior to get better."

Remembering the scene of Xu Lei caressing her to heal her wound, her face couldn't help but turn bright red.

"Let's see what good stuff is in here."

Xu Lei said, "Never mind, I'll put it away for now."

"We shouldn't stay here for long."

'Are there any other goodies around?'

But after looking around, he found there was nothing else of value.

So, Xu Lei didn't dally.

He piled up a few more Explosive Packages at the entrance.

Then he detonated them.

BOOM.

The previously blocked stone door was also blasted open.

But the entire stone chamber began to collapse.

Perhaps because Xu Lei had detonated the internal Restriction earlier,

the entire underground stone palace could no longer withstand the internal impact.

However, since Xu Lei and Qing Lian were both Cultivators, they wouldn't die from this.

Activating their Magical Power, the two of them shot upward against the falling earth and stone, broke through, and returned to the surface.

"Excellent, a smooth escape."

Xu Lei smiled faintly. "As expected. So much for a Restriction left by an Ancient Immortal."

"After so much time has passed, its power couldn't possibly withstand my explosions!"

Afterward, Xu Lei eagerly took the box out of his Storage Bracelet to see what kind of things were inside, and whether there were any resources that could rapidly increase his Power!
