This bottle of Soul Cleansing Water had at least twenty or thirty drops. Such a divine object was truly priceless.
And this was only half a bottle.
Suddenly, Nian Yuexian realized sothing and looked up to ask, "Has he taken this before?"
Yiyi nodded. Not only had he taken it before, but he used it frequently. To others, this thing was extrely precious, but to Lu Ye, it was nothing special.
"No wonder," Nian Yuexian sighed.
On the way back, there was sothing she couldn't understand.
When Wan Zhanggang launched a psyche attack on Lu Ye in his fury, considering the vast difference in their cultivation, Lu Ye shouldn't have been able to withstand it. The outco wouldn't have been just a coma; most likely, his psyche would have shattered, leading to his imdiate death.
But in reality, Lu Ye didn't die; he only fell unconscious.
This made it evident that Lu Ye's psyche was stronger than that of an average True Lake Realm cultivator.
At this mont, Nian Yuexian understood the reason behind it.
Having taken Soul Cleansing Water before was the reason Lu Ye's psyche was strong, and it seed he had taken it more than once!
Her tense mood relaxed imdiately. In Lu Ye's current condition, the most troubleso issue was his psyche injury. Now, with the Soul Cleansing Water, the problem could be easily solved.
Moreover, since his psyche was originally strong, the injury wouldn't be as severe as imagined.
Raising her hand, a drop of Soul Cleansing Water, wrapped in spirit force, was taken out. Nian Yuexian then reached out and opened Lu Ye's mouth, placing the drop into it.
Her figure suddenly staggered a bit.
She had been so tense that she had forgotten her own injuries. Now that her mind was relaxed, an overwhelming fatigue and pain surged over her.
Yiyi quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Sister Yuexian, you should rest, I'll take care of Lu Ye."
Nian Yuexian nodded slightly. "I'll leave it to you then."
After saying this, she walked to the side, sat down cross-legged, and took out an elixir pill from her storage space to heal her injuries.
She didn't leave because she needed to guard against the possible counterattack from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, though the chance was slim.
At night, the sound of sothing breaking through the air suddenly rang out, startling Yiyi and making Amber growl lowly.
Nian Yuexian opened her eyes. "Don't worry, it's your Second Senior Sister."
As soon as she spoke, a familiar figure leapt in through the window—who else could it be but Shui Yuan?
"Second Senior Sister." Yiyi quickly went to greet her.
"How is it?" Shui Yuan didn't even acknowledge Nian Yuexian, moving quickly to the bedside to check on Lu Ye's condition.
Standing by, Yiyi softly explained Lu Ye's situation to Shui Yuan. After a careful inspection, Shui Yuan's stern expression finally relaxed.
"It's nothing serious; he should wake up soon."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi was finally relieved.
Yiyi didn't know how skilled Shui Yuan was in dicine, but in her heart, no one in the world could surpass her Second Senior Sister. If she said there was no issue, then there truly was no issue.
Shui Yuan stood up, turned her head, and glared coldly at Nian Yuexian, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner. "Give an explanation!"
Because there wasn't much fighting here, Shui Yuan had specifically sent word to Nian Yuexian to go to Haotian City to fetch soone. Who would have thought that after just a few days, their little junior brother would be critically injured and in a coma?
If she had known, she wouldn't have sent him here!
Nian Yuexian lowered her head, her hair falling over her chest, and said nothing.
Yiyi, seeing the situation go awry, quickly stepped forward. "Second Senior Sister, it's not Sister Yuexian's fault..."
She briefly recounted the events that had transpired.
Listening to her, Shui Yuan felt a mixture of anger and amusent. She turned to look at the unconscious Lu Ye, gritting her teeth.
So young, yet already trying to play the hero and save the beauty! And nearly lost his life doing it.
In truth, this couldn't be blad on Nian Yuexian. In a Divine Sea Realm battle, an ordinary True Lake Realm cultivator should stay as far away as possible, yet Lu Ye had brazenly intervened.
Strangely enough, he actually managed to save soone.
Yiyi didn't explain everything clearly; so things she deliberately kept back, like Lu Ye's Talent Tree, his biggest secret, known only to her.
There were also things she didn't fully understand, like the Twin Flying Phoenixes spirit rune.
"Second Senior Sister, Lu Ye has life-saving thods." Seeing Shui Yuan still angry, Yiyi quickly explained, "He has a Golden Body Token."
After returning from Unparalleled Continent, the special reward bestowed upon him allowed Lu Ye to choose any treasure from the Hall of Battle rits.
Lu Ye chose the Golden Body Token.
This item was worth two hundred thousand battle rits in the Hall of Battle rits. Lu Ye had used it before and knew its life-saving power.
In this perilous encounter, it almost activated several tis, only to be interrupted at the critical mont.
"Golden Body Token..." Shui Yuan couldn't help being moved. "No wonder he was so fearless! But the Golden Body Token isn't foolproof. While it protects the body, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators can still trap him, waiting for the Golden Body to fade, and he'd still die!"
Yiyi nodded like a pecking chicken. "I know, next ti I will keep an eye on him!"
Shui Yuan's face eased, realizing her reaction was a bit excessive.
Cultivating is never a smooth journey; to reach great achievents, one must face hardships.
She was just annoyed that their little junior brother faced such a crisis soon after arriving here. She thought about transferring him to another mountain pass, but that might expose him to enemies of the Righteous Blood Sect, so it might be safer to keep him with Nian Yuexian.
She stopped talking and began treating Lu Ye's wounds.
Then she walked over to Nian Yuexian, looking at her angrily. "You're always like this; don't you know how to defend yourself when others scold you?"
"I didn't take good care of him," Nian Yuexian softly responded.
Shui Yuan sighed and sat in front of her to examine her injuries.
Soon, she was surprised because she detected Lu Ye's aura and vitality within Nian Yuexian's body...
She looked at her old friend suspiciously, puzzled by this.
These two couldn't have done sothing improper...
Seeing Shui Yuan's doubt, a hint of redness appeared on Nian Yuexian's pale face. "Don't overthink it. Your little junior brother is extraordinary. He seems to be able to use so very special spirit runes."
"What?"
Nian Yuexian explained how Lu Ye had used the Twin Flying Phoenixes spirit rune.
Shui Yuan was astonished. This kind of spirit rune, allowing two unrelated individuals to share their physical essence, was unheard of, even in legends.
Thinking back, Shui Yuan said, "Little junior brother once received a spirit runes master's legacy on the Spirit Stream battlefield. It must be that legacy's gift."
Nian Yuexian suddenly understood.
Comparatively, both Nian Yuexian and Lu Ye's injuries were serious. But with one being in the Divine Sea realm and the other having strong vitality, the injuries wouldn't affect their foundations. With so recuperation, they would recover completely.
Ti passed. Under Shui Yuan's careful care, both Lu Ye and Nian Yuexian recovered completely in just three days.
However, they were all worried about Lu Ye remaining in a coma.
After another inspection, Yiyi anxiously asked, "Second Senior Sister, why hasn't Lu Ye woken up yet?"
Generally, even if Lu Ye's psyche was damaged, after several days of recuperation and taking Soul Cleansing Water, he should have recovered and awakened.
But for so reason, he remained in a coma.
Even Shui Yuan was puzzled by this, as she had never encountered such a situation before.
"Psyche injuries are very complicated. Without understanding his condition specifically, I can't say for sure. To find out, I would have to..." Shui Yuan trailed off.
Yiyi didn't know what she wanted to do, but Nian Yuexian understood. "You want to enter his psyche?"
Shui Yuan nodded. "Only then can I investigate clearly!"
"It's very dangerous." Nian Yuexian's expression was serious.
Shui Yuan glanced at her and said calmly, "He's my junior brother. I know the danger."
Why are you so nervous?
The danger was mainly to Lu Ye. He wasn't in the Divine Sea realm yet and didn't have his own ntal Consciousness, so his psyche's protection was weak. External forces could easily cause damage.
Nian Yuexian cast her gaze aside...
"Set up the array, protect!" decisive as always, Shui Yuan gave the command once she made her decision.
Nian Yuexian moved swiftly.
Soon, the sounds of sothing cutting through the air indicated the arrangent of a large array.
An entire Shichen later, she returned and nodded slightly at Shui Yuan.
With Nian Yuexian, a Divine Sea Realm sitting guard, and several large arrays, even if powerful enemies from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge ca, they could hold out.
Only then did Shui Yuan take a deep breath, raised a finger, and pointed it at Lu Ye's forehead.
In the next instant, she closed her eyes and focused her ntal Consciousness.
For a Divine Sea Realm's ntal Consciousness, entering a True Lake Realm cultivator's mind should be easy. But Shui Yuan t unexpected resistance, as if an invisible force blocked her, preventing her from entering normally.
This unexpected situation puzzled her.
To clear Lu Ye's condition, figure out his prolonged coma's cause, she had to enter his psyche and examine it in detail. If she couldn't even enter, there was nothing to investigate.
Forced entry would cause significant damage, similar to Wan Zhanggang's earlier ntal Consciousness attack on Lu Ye.
How could a newly advanced True Lake Realm cultivator's psyche have such strong protection? And it was autonomous, not actively controlled.
The plan's first step hit a snag, making things awkward.
If not forceful, they had to retreat and rethink.
Just as Shui Yuan planned to retreat, the obstruction suddenly vanished as if opening a door for her.
