Chapter 951: Chapter 944: Critical Injury_2 Chapter 951: Chapter 944: Critical Injury_2 Li family cultivators returned to the Underground Palace with faces full of disappointnt and regret. Without needing to ask, one could tell from their expressions that their attempt had been unsuccessful.
“This Fellow Daoist, since you can’t resolve the black dirt, there’s nothing else to do here; you might as well return first,” a Lianxu Cultivator from the Zhang Family approached and said to Li Zhirui.
“Okay.”
Li Zhirui was wondering how to take his leave when they proactively asked him to leave.
After saluting two prominent figures not far away, he led his clan mbers out of the Underground Palace.
“I will escort you back and gather so Spiritual Objects along the way.”
The journey was considerably long and they had to pass through the Devil Race territory. If the clan mbers went back alone and encountered any danger, their ability to resist was too weak. A slight mishap could result in being devoured by Devil Beasts.
Moreover, even with Li Zhirui present, he dared not cross through the center of the mountains like before. They had faced several waves of Devil Beast attacks under the lead of the Zhang Family on their way here, resulting in many casualties.
Thus, the return journey was longer, taking them more than ten days to reach Mount Wanxian.
Because of the delay, Li Zhirui stayed in the clan for only half an hour, harvesting all the mature Purifying Spiritual Objects in the Spirit Realm, especially the Bai Lian seeds, and then hurriedly departed.
Not long after Li Zhirui left Mount Wanxian, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and Cang, all seriously wounded, supported each other back.
Upon seeing Mount Wanxian, they imdiately fainted.
When Li Xiansong heard the news, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and he appeared before the three unconscious Spirit Ancestors as quickly as he could.
“Have you determined the reason for the Spirit Ancestors’ unconsciousness? Are their injuries severe?”
The Li family had specially trained many clan mbers in the way of Spirit Doctors, but their cultivation was too low, the highest only being at the Nascent Soul level.
Becoming a Spirit Doctor was extrely difficult; the training required considerable content, which squeezed their cultivation ti.
Initially, the Li family had chosen hundreds of clan mbers to study the path of Spirit Doctors, but in less than five years, less than half were still persevering.
Over the years, the Li family had only a little over a hundred Spirit Doctors.
Given the substantial support the Li family provided for Spirit Doctors, far surpassing other skills, yet the numbers still being so limited, showed the difficulty of learning.
Even though Alchemists could treat injuries and ailnts of cultivators because they knew the properties of dicines, the effects were far inferior to those of Spirit Doctors.
But then again, if the two were truly comparable, why bother creating the path of Spirit Doctors and make it so complicated to learn.
“The Spirit Ancestors must have been through several great battles; their mana was depleted, and their physical bodies seriously injured. As for the Spiritual Soul, our cultivation is too low to investigate, so it is unknown.”
However, since they have shown no signs of recovery since falling unconscious, it was not difficult to deduce that the damage to their Spiritual Soul was also likely severe.
Li Minghua, the highest-ranking Spirit Doctor present, paused before adding, “The Spirit Ancestors’ injuries are very serious. Their internal ridians are damaged, bones are exposed externally, and with the addition of their Spiritual Soul injuries, we can only do our best to treat them. Of course, we can ensure there won’t be any life-threatening danger.”
“Then give them your best effort in treatnt, and if you lack any Spiritual Objects, just tell the family,” Li Xiansong said with an extrely grave expression.
The lives of Da Qing and the others represented not only themselves but also implied whether Li Zhirui could break through to higher realms in the future!
If any of them died from their injuries, Li Zhirui’s path would also co to an end.
Such a trendous cost was not sothing the Li family could afford!
Keep in mind, Li family’s current status was largely due to the effort of Li Zhirui alone.
Thus, no matter the cost, they must save the lives of Da Qing and the others!
“Yes!” Li Minghua answered solemnly, yet with a hint of excitent.
He was cautious because he understood what the identity of the three ant, and he was excited because the way of the Spirit Doctor greatly valued practice. If they could heal the three Spirit Ancestors, their dical skills would surely improve a great deal afterward.
In fact, their slow improvent in skills was also greatly related to the clan mbers not believing in their abilities, thinking that consuming a few Spirit Pills for healing would suffice.
Li Minghua and dozens of other Spirit Doctors, in order to heal Da Qing and the other two as soon as possible, truly worked tirelessly, day and night.
When Li Xiansong ca to inquire about the situation, he saw each of them with terrifyingly pale faces, looking like they could drop dead at any mont. Frightened, he hastily said, “Don’t overexert yourselves. Haven’t the injuries of the Spirit Ancestors stabilized now? Don’t end up causing problems to your own health.”
“Please rest assured, Clan Leader, we will take care of ourselves,” Li Minghua energetically replied.
Through treating the three, their dical skills had improved significantly. They were thinking of redoubling their efforts, how could they possibly rest now?
“Alright then.”
Seeing that he could not persuade them, Li Xiansong could only change the subject and asked, “When will the three Spirit Ancestors be able to awaken?”
“In the next two or three days.”
Although Li Minghua and the others had lower cultivation, their professional level was still quite good. Indeed, Da Qing and the others woke up one after another the next day.
“Spirit Ancestors, do you feel better?” an urgently summoned Li Xiansong inquired.
“Much better,” Da Qing replied with a hoarse voice. Although he hadn’t completely recovered, he was at least slowly improving. Unfortunately, the clan’s Spirit Doctors had too low a cultivation, resulting in limited treatnt effects and so latent injuries remaining in his body.
Seeing that Li Zhirui hadn’t appeared for a long ti, he then asked, “Isn’t Jiu in the clan?”
“Recently, a major event that affects the whole East Continent Immortal Tao has taken place. Ancestor Rui thought to seize this opportunity to earn a batch of cultivation resources, so he is not in the clan.”
Seeing that they were in low spirits, Li Xiansong explained very briefly and then advised them to rest as soon as possible.
After waiting several more days, with the injuries of Da Qing and the others much improved, Li Xiansong finally asked about the reason they were grievously injured.
Simply put, it was to fight over a Seventh Rank Spiritual Root.
A Red Date Spirit Root, extrely important to Devil Beasts and Spirit Beasts!
The effect of the Red Date is to trace back to the origin. In other words, it can cause the bloodline of Devil Beasts and Spirit Beasts to revert to their ancestors. That was why Da Qing and the others fought so desperately to obtain this Spiritual Root.
With this Spiritual Root, they wouldn’t need to go out to find Spiritual Objects again until their bloodline advanced to the Eighth Grade. They could completely achieve their goal by consuming Red Dates.
Moreover, they knew about the special space of Li Zhirui. If they planted the Red Date Spirit Root in that space and had Spirit Stones, the Red Dates could mature several tis in just one day! And it would not harm the root base of the Spiritual Root.
If they were lucky enough, perhaps when their bloodline needed to advance to the Eighth Grade, the Grade of the Red Date Spirit Root would advance first.
After all, as the Red Dates were forced to mature, the Spiritual Root itself also underwent the tempering of ti. Plus, their breakthroughs in realm needing centuries, it was really possible for the Spiritual Root to advance ahead of ti.
However, when explaining to Li Xiansong, Da Qing did not ntion it was the Red Date Spiritual Root, and falsely said it was a Seventh Grade Wooden Spiritual Object.
Because if it was said to be a Spiritual Root, then it would not be suitable to be planted in Li Zhirui’s space. But if planted in the outside world, the growth would be too slow. Then, what was the point of their desperate struggle for this Spiritual Root?
Of course, Da Qing and the others were not selfish. In satisfying their needs first, if any Spirit Beast needed the Red Dates, they would provide them.
“By the way, you ntioned earlier that sothing happened that affects the East Continent Immortal Tao? Tell us in detail,” Da Qing imdiately changed the topic, to avoid talking too much and revealing flaws.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiansong did not think deeply about Da Qing’s words and imdiately detailed the discovery of a Demon Cultivator, triggering a series of events.
“Ancestor Rui found that the Purification Principle he controls is effective against the impurities. He must be busy purifying the Spirit Veins in Wanzhu State now.”
Da Qing and the others felt this matter wasn’t too dangerous, so they didn’t pay much attention to it. What they needed to do now was cooperate with Li Minghua and other Spirit Doctors to recover as soon as possible, to prevent further latent injuries.
