Chapter 205: Nurturing Immortality with Spirit
Yun Jiao frowned slightly but didn’t have time to think deeply. She turned and took out several Rejuvenation Pills, handing them to the three injured men before her. Then she began checking their conditions one by one.
“Girl, hurry and see if these old bones of mine can still be saved. I feel like I’m dying of pain!” the old man groaned even louder.
Yun Jiao nearly rolled her eyes but restrained herself. “You’re not dying,” she said flatly. “Just broke a few bones. Rest and you’ll recover.”
Perhaps because the flood dragon had been too confident in the Soul-Devouring Formation above, the three men’s bodies, apart from the injuries from their fall, were otherwise intact. Since all three were cultivators, their bodies were much hardier than those of ordinary people. Though the wounds looked severe, a bit of spiritual regulation and a few months of recovery would see them fine again.
“Oh.” The old man finally sighed in relief, swallowing the pill. A gentle warmth spread through his body, soothing his pain until much of it ebbed away.
“So, what now? Do we go back?” The flood dragon was dead, their bodies found—it seemed logical to return.
Yun Jiao remained silent for a while, then turned her gaze toward the stone wall where the spiritual veins were sealed. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the spiritual energy here seemed even denser than before—and mixed within it was an even stronger aura of violence.
“Wait here,” she said. “I’ll go release these spiritual veins first. Having so many trapped together will only lead to trouble sooner or later.” Another flood dragon might appear if she left them be.
Without hesitation, she applied a Light Body Talisman and leapt toward the stone wall that sealed the veins. As she approached, the surrounding air grew thicker and heavier with spiritual energy—so dense it almost felt tangible, pressing against her chest until she could hardly breathe.
