"Xiao Qian, what did you say?"
Zhang Bin was completely dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears.
"Master, please save my father. The Nirvana Pill can definitely resurrect him."
Xiao Qian’s face was full of anticipation, her eyes shining with hope.
"Your father has been dead for five hundred years. No matter how miraculous the Nirvana Pill is, it can’t resurrect soone who died five centuries ago, can it?" Zhang Bin rubbed his forehead, a headache clearly coming on.
He had planned to use this Nirvana Pill to resurrect Madisha. After all, Madisha wasn’t truly dead, just cryogenically frozen, so it was possible she could be revived with the pill. But if he used it on Li Taiqing’s corpse, it might not work, and the elixir would be wasted.
"It can definitely bring him back to life! My father’s body is intact and lifelike."
As Xiao Qian spoke, she took Li Taiqing’s body out of her Space Ring. Ever since Zhang Bin had given her a Space Ring, she had kept her father’s corpse in her own ring, carrying it with her at all tis.
Li Taiqing was still sitting serenely in a ditative posture, showing no signs of life. The air was thick with the aura of death.
"Xiao Qing, do you think the Nirvana Pill can resurrect this Taoist?" Zhang Bin cast his gaze onto the small Gourd in his hand.
"There’s an eighty percent chance of revival," Xiao Qing said. "He was very powerful when he died, having cultivated to the Golden Core Peak. He fell because his Soul was severely damaged, but his body is intact. His extinguished Soul is still contained within his body. The Nirvana Pill can revive his body, and his Soul can be revived and restored as well. After all, the Nirvana Pill is an incredibly miraculous and precious elixir."
Xiao Qian flew into Zhang Bin’s embrace, her face a mask of desperation as her eyes misted over. "Master... Husband... you must save my father."
It was a sight that would move anyone.
"If the Nirvana Pill can save your father, of course I won’t hesitate to use it."
Without hesitating, Zhang Bin pricked Li Taiqing’s throat with a needle, infusing a stream of Longevity Qi to stimulate it.
Then, sothing miraculous happened. Li Taiqing actually opened his mouth.
Zhang Bin placed the Nirvana Pill inside.
Although I’ll need a Nirvana Pill to save Madisha in the future, I currently lack the power to reach that underground base. I have to cultivate to an incredibly powerful level before I can confidently face the Demons there. Only then will I stand a chance of rescuing Madisha, and that could take hundreds or even thousands of years. So for now, it’s better to save Li Taiqing first. In the future, I’m sure I’ll find a way to concoct another Revival Pill or Nirvana Pill.
The Nirvana Pill effortlessly slipped down Li Taiqing’s throat and into his stomach. It radiated a dazzling brilliance, turning Li Taiqing’s body golden and filling it with a sacred aura.
Zhang Bin and Xiao Qian stared unblinkingly, their faces etched with anticipation.
However, a long ti passed with no movent or response.
Just then, Xiao Qing spoke in a charming voice, "Master, I sense a place inside your body that is very suitable for my growth. May I go in?"
"You want to grow inside my body?" Zhang Bin was astonished.
"Master, I am a Gourd from an Innate Spiritual Vine. Regaining my life force is extrely difficult. In the outside world, it would be impossible even after billions of years. Only inside your body can I recover quickly and even grow vines and roots. Of course, it won’t have any negative effects on you. In fact, it will purify your True Qi and body, making you stronger, faster."
"Then go ahead."
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Zhang Bin’s face.
"Thank you, Master," Xiao Qing thanked him charmingly before suddenly transforming into a stream of green light. It rged into Zhang Bin’s body and finally appeared within his Dantian, settling next to the seed and beginning to sleep comfortably.
She even let out a sigh of contentnt. "Master, the life force inside your body is so rich. Lying in your Dantian is so comfortable. The Cultivation Technique you’re practicing is special and completely different from Ancestor Deception’s. Are you planning to cultivate an Innate Spiritual Root seed? To eventually nurture an Innate Spiritual Tree within your Dantian?"
"Innate Spiritual Tree? What is that?" Zhang Bin asked in surprise.
"From my inherited mories, Innate Spiritual Trees develop from Innate Spiritual Roots. They are the oldest and most powerful trees, appearing at the sa ti as the universe, coming to life with it, and can exist for eternity," said Xiao Qing.
"Then what is a Divine Tree?" Zhang Bin asked, astounded.
The Qingmu Longevity Technique he practiced was ant to cultivate a towering Divine Wood within his Dantian. Once he succeeded, he would beco incredibly powerful and could ascend to the Immortal Realm. However, he himself was still sowhat confused about what a Divine Tree truly was.
"A Divine Tree, also known as a Divine Wood, is an ordinary tree that has cultivated relentlessly for countless years, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the Spiritual Energy from the earth. They gradually beco towering and terrifyingly huge, as well as horrifyingly strong. However, they are not Innate Spiritual Trees. Innate Spiritual Trees are much more powerful and magical than Divine Wood. As for exactly how they are more powerful and magical, I don’t know," said Xiao Qing.
"Your mother is an Innate Spiritual Vine?" Zhang Bin was utterly stunned, asking with anticipation.
"It seems so," Xiao Qing said.
"Then why did she let Ancestor Deception pluck you?" Zhang Bin asked in astonishnt. "She should be very powerful."
"I don’t know either! My mother never told why. She didn’t even try to rescue . She abandoned ..." Xiao Qing trailed off, beginning to sob pitifully.
"There, there, don’t cry. You have a master now, so there’s no need to cry..."
Zhang Bin comforted her softly. This Fairy has such a mysterious origin; I have to keep her close. Even if it ans nurturing her for billions of years, it’ll be fine. The return on investnt will surely be trendous in the future.
Xiao Qing soon cheered up and said, "Master, there’s a small problem with this seed of yours. Transforming it into an Innate Spirit Tree Seed isn’t easy; there are many hurdles to overco. However, with here, it won’t be much of a problem. But you’ll still need to greatly enhance the life force within your body so it can nourish both the seed and . Hmm, I will also absorb so of your True Qi. Of course, I’ll only absorb the impure True Qi, poisons, and waste gases from your Dantian. In return, I’ll release the Spiritual Energy and oxygen you need, allowing you to survive in any environnt while also purifying you quickly. Anyway, with looking after the seed, it will beco superior and truly transform into an Innate Spirit Tree Seed. Once it grows into an Innate Spiritual Tree, it will be my support. As the saying goes, ’the vine guards the tree, and the tree shelters the vine;’ we’ll lean on each other. This seed of yours and I are destined partners."
With that said, she began drawing in the True Qi from Zhang Bin’s Dantian at a rate hundreds of tis faster than the seed.
