Ye Tian's Dragon Spiritual Power surged into Zhang Xinlan's body. Her Spiritual Power had already been severely depleted, and the effects of the elixir only made a bad situation worse.
Ye Tian's Dragon Spiritual Power possessed a potent, masculine energy. Channeling it into Zhang Xinlan's body could alleviate her pain and, at the very least, keep her from feeling so cold.
Zhang Xinlan could feel the powerful Spiritual Power entering her. Without hesitation, she imdiately circulated it through her ridians, and the intense chill wracking her body lessened considerably.
Ye Tian was inwardly shocked by the terrifying chill emanating from Zhang Xinlan. 'Anyone else would have frozen to death long ago,' he thought. 'It's incredible that she's managed to endure this for so long.'
'I can't imagine how she's borne this pain. And with a constitution like this, how did she ever beco a Saintess? It's truly baffling.'
As ti passed, Ye Tian's own Dragon Spiritual Power began to dwindle. He had no choice but to simultaneously absorb Energy from Spirit Stones while continuing to help Zhang Xinlan fight off the chill.
The cold was uncomfortable even for Ye Tian; he had shivered involuntarily a mont ago. Now, however, his brow was beaded with sweat. His only thought was of how to lessen Zhang Xinlan's pain.
He also wondered how he could completely cure her chronic illness. He knew of the thod she had ntioned, but it wasn't feasible right now. His Power Realm was insufficient; trying it now would bring no benefit to either of them.
"Ye Tian, thank you! If it weren't for you, I honestly don't know if I would have made it through this. It's all my fault for being so reckless, taking that elixir before my Spiritual Power had recovered."
"I usually only take it after I've adjusted my condition to its peak. I guess I was just too eager to see what this Ancient Treasure looks like and did sothing foolish. Thank goodness it was just a close call!" Zhang Xinlan said, a trace of fear still in her voice.
Ye Tian stopped channeling his Dragon Spiritual Power. He glanced around and saw that their surroundings had beco a world of ice and snow. It wasn't like Profound Ice, though; it would lt before long.
Zhang Xinlan's complexion had also improved significantly. Her forehead, like Ye Tian's, was beaded with sweat, but her body was still extrely weak. She would need a few days of quiet rest to recover.
Ye Tian glanced at Zhang Xinlan and said, "Xinlan, I should take you back to your room. There's no rush to inspect the Ancient Treasure. We should wait until your Spiritual Power is fully restored."
Zhang Xinlan nodded gratefully. 'It would truly be a blessing to beco his woman one day.' At that mont, she finally understood why Ye Feifei and the others were so completely devoted to him. Who would ever be willing to let go of such an exceptional man?
Ye Tian helped Zhang Xinlan to her feet, intending for them to walk back together. But as soon as she stood up, her legs gave out and she collapsed again, as if she had no strength left in her body and couldn't stay upright.
"It feels like my whole body has fallen apart. I don't have an ounce of strength left. I don't think I can walk!" Zhang Xinlan said, looking at Ye Tian helplessly.
"I'll carry you back," Ye Tian said without a second thought.
Zhang Xinlan nodded slightly, a faint blush appearing on her already pale face.
Ye Tian crouched down, and Zhang Xinlan climbed onto his back. He then stood up, placing his hands behind him to support her.
Zhang Xinlan's entire body tensed, and her face flushed an even deeper shade of red.
Ye Tian wondered if he was going too far, but the sensation under his hands made him reluctant to move them.
"Ye Tian, are you going to walk or not?" Zhang Xinlan couldn't help but exclaim. "Even if I'm to beco your woman in the future, I'm not yet. Please show so respect and take back to my room quickly, before this gets any more awkward for both of us!"
She knew her words might displease Ye Tian, making him think she was playing innocent. But she had truly never been touched in such a sensitive area by a man before; her reaction was purely instinctual.
Ye Tian's face burned, feeling as if he really had been taking advantage of her. He imdiately bolted toward the room. His figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he was inside.
He quickly set Zhang Xinlan down on the bed. "Just focus on recovering. I'll leave now. What happened just now... I didn't an it. Please, forgive !"
After speaking, Ye Tian quickly ducked out. It was the first ti he'd ever been so embarrassed. He wasn't angry about what Zhang Xinlan had said at all; on the contrary, he felt a strange sense of delight.
Back in his own room, Ye Tian also began to absorb energy from Spirit Stones. He had to restore his strength to its peak before he could go investigate the Ancient Treasure. Although it was dangerous, it was also an opportunity.
It was just as the War Dragon Remnant Soul had said: while talent was important for becoming a powerful expert, opportunity was equally so. Talent was innate, but opportunities had to be sought.
「Three days later.」
Ye Tian had fully recovered. He left his room and went to the Spirit Gathering Array, but was surprised to find Zhang Xinlan already there. He had assud she would still be restoring her Spiritual Power, not that she would be out even before he was.
"You've recovered? How are you back so quickly?" Ye Tian asked.
"I have. Although the side effects of the elixir are terrifying, once the pain passes, my Spiritual Power is completely restored. It's also very helpful for raising my Power Realm."
"And with the Spiritual Power you gave , I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking through to the next minor Realm. I ca here to figure out how to find the Ancient Treasure," Zhang Xinlan said.
Ye Tian paused, stunned. "Didn't the golden text explain how to find it? What's going on?"
"The golden text was very vague," Zhang Xinlan said. "It only said that the entrance is near the Spirit Gathering Array, but I've been scanning the area with my Divine Sense for a while now with no results. There are no Spiritual Power fluctuations, either, which is why I find it so strange."
"Could it be under the Spirit Gathering Array, then?" Ye Tian said, his expression serious. "Why don't we try moving the array? Maybe the entrance will appear!"
