"The diagnosis results are rather troubling,"
"According to Sun Shengshou, Hall Master Gu’s foundation is too solid. Although she’s a Qi Refinent Cultivator, her Spirit Power is so pure that it’s almost on par with a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. It is precisely for this reason that after her failure to reach Foundation Establishnt, the damage inflicted by her Spirit Power on her body far exceeded that of an ordinary Qi Refinent Cultivator who failed at Foundation Establishnt."
As Sima Huiniang spoke up to this point, Luo Chen’s mind was stirred.
Suddenly,
he realized the primary cause of Gu Caiyi’s failure!
Demonic deviation induced by a restless heart and mind was just the trigger.
The main reason was the imnse Spirit Power pure enough to compare with a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator!
Logically, a Qi Refinent Cultivator shouldn’t possess such terrifyingly pure Spirit Power. Even Luo Chen himself did not have such an endownt initially.
But!
All these years, Luo Chen had occasionally provided her with Jade Dew Pills to consu.
This is a Second Order Spirit Pill even coveted by Ice Castle Foundation Establishnt Female Cultivators!
Though Luo Chen had refined the pill formula to allow Gu Caiyi to ingest it in a controlled manner, the dicinal power still enabled her to forge incredibly pure Spirit Power.
Among her peers, her Spirit Power’s strength was almost three to four tis that of others.
During her attempt at Foundation Establishnt, how could she control it with a Divine Soul Endownt that fell short of the Foundation Establishnt Stage?
"Is it my fault?"
With a dry throat, Luo Chen had never thought that his well-intended actions could backfire so terribly.
If not for the Jade Dew Pill factor,
Gu Caiyi’s perfect Qi Refinent may have been delayed by a few years, but she still would have had a solid foundation to attempt the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Even if she failed, at worst she would recover like Sima Xian after a few years of rest.
Instead of being in her current state, with a damaged Dantian, incomplete ridians, and excessive Spirit Power stagnating within her body, constantly eroding her flesh.
Sima Huiniang did not notice Luo Chen’s guilt and continued to relay the subsequent conditions.
After Gu Caiyi was severely injured and treated by Sun Shengshou, a corresponding treatnt plan was given.
It cannot be healed by common techniques; she needs dicinal stones for a gradual cure.
Moreover, during this process, it’s best to avoid any external Spirit Qi from entering her body, causing further damage.
Therefore, Sima Huiniang arranged for Gu Caiyi to stay at a secluded spot on Danxia Peak.
This place has exceedingly sparse Spirit Qi.
Additionally, Min Longyu set up an Array to create this Spirit-less environnt.
Wang Yuan also visited from ti to ti, and using his blood-congealed Visible Power, he channeled it into Gu Caiyi’s main ridians, preventing the accumulated Spirit Qi from damaging the main channels.
Otherwise, if things truly went beyond repair, she would not be able to continue her cultivation in this lifeti.
Feng Xia had stayed by her side tirelessly, caring for her day and night throughout the year.
"Everyone has tried their best!" Luo Chen exclaid emotionally.
Sima Huiniang, now calm, nodded and said, "We are friends who have supported each other along the way. Even if there is no hope for Foundation Establishnt, at the very least, one should retain their Cultivation Level. I have already inquired about it, and in three years, the dicine King Sect may auction off a few Canghai Pills. By that ti, repairing the Dantian might not be impossible!"
The Canghai Pill, nad after the vast changing ’Cang Sea and Mulberry Fields’, is the supre elixir for repairing a cultivator’s Dantian Sea of Qi.
It was auctioned once decades ago, with a single pill fetching a high price of fifty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!
"You’ve been thoughtful," Luo Chen replied, squeezing the soft and boneless hand in his grasp.
Sima Huiniang’s face brightened with a smile, "As long as you don’t think I deliberately targeted her."
"Am I that kind of person?"
"But your expression just now..."
"I’m tired,"
Luo Chen massaged his brow. He had rushed for an entire day being constantly on alert for the possibility of encountering Calamity Cultivators on the way.
After returning, he had no ti to rest before checking on Gu Caiyi’s injuries, ensuring he didn’t cause her more harm.
To say he wasn’t tired would definitely be untrue.
How could he possibly greet his peers with a relaxed smile in such a condition?
"Here!"
The Autumn Water Longsword materialized from Luo Chen’s hand.
"A gift for you, do you like it?"
Sima Huiniang’s eyes sparkled as she received the Flying Sword.
It was a Magic Item!
And one that very much suited her as a Water Type cultivator.
She twirled the sword gracefully, her eyes showing delight.
In the snow, a woman wielding a sword, with the hem of her skirt fluttering about, was indeed a sight to behold.
As Luo Chen admired the scene, his eyes still held a trace of worry.
"Three years, that’s too long!"
...
When Gu Caiyi woke up from her deep slumber, still groggy,
she saw Feng Xia packing things up in the room.
Her gaze swept around the room, not seeing the figure that appeared in her dreams.
A sudden feeling of emptiness engulfed her.
But almost instantly, that feeling flew away.
The man walked into the room from outside.
"Sister Xia, is everything packed?"
Feng Xia nodded, "It’s just so personal clothes, all ready now."
"Then let’s set off!"
"But Sun Shengshou said that Caiyi should avoid external Qi entering her body. Is it really okay for her to leave this place?"
"It’s better to dredge than to block; her theory only stands if there’s no solution."
As he spoke, the man approached Gu Caiyi’s side.
Gu Caiyi bit her lip, puzzled, "Where are we going?"
"To my ho. I promised you, I will heal you."
Luo Chen smiled faintly and picked her up amid her surprised cry.
Feng Xia watched the scene with moist eyes, draping a fluffy coat over her.
"It will be okay, everything will get better."
Once they were outside,
Luo Chen cast a protective shield of Spirit Qi and then carried Gu Caiyi onto the Langqi Flying Boat.
"Sister Xia, once Caiyi gets better, we will invite you for a drink. Bring Duan Feng along then."
Feng Xia stood in the courtyard, watching the Flying Boat slowly take off, waving her hand vigorously.
...
Aboard the Flying Boat.
