Chapter 152: Why Do You Treat His Wound Through His Clothes? _3
His mana level was too low. While combatting the cold poison, he had to take a recovery pill three times in the middle of the process, consuming about four volumes of his spirit power. It was with great difficulty that he was able to fully treat Song Chengcheng.
By the time the treatment was finished, it was already past midnight.
With an array method protecting them from the outside world, both of them sat in meditation and practiced cultivation.
Now, Chen Yi was fully energized and refreshed.
In this battle, not only did Chen Yi obtain the demon core from the Cold Jade Turtle Snake, but his battle with the colorful fish also deepened his understanding of his golden body a step further.
Normally, with Chen Yi's character, he wouldn't face the colorful fish squarely.
But for some reason,
When he ran Vajra Sutra at full strength, he felt an inexplicable confidence that as long as he caught up and swung his golden fist,
All the fancy techniques of the colorful dragon fish would become as fragile as paper mache,
As long as he could hit it, he could defeat the little thing,
Even though Chen Yi had not reached the fifth layer of body refining, while the Dragon Fish probably already had reached the late Foundation Establishment period.
Type body cultivators only had two levels during the Foundation Establishment period, the fourth and fifth layers. In fact, Chen Yi's normal body refining cultivation was basically equivalent to the mid Foundation Establishment period.
In a few years, once Chen Yi completes the Purifying Viscera step and reaches the level of Marrow Refining, he would officially enter the late-stage body cultivator of the Foundation Establishment period.
Wearing a high-collar, yellow dress that fell to her ankles, Song Chengcheng covered almost her entire body at this time,
Nearly completely healed from her injuries, she just needed more time to restore her mana and meridians to their best state.
This journey of hunting demon beasts turned out pretty productive for Song Chengcheng, her mana had condensed a lot,
She had a feeling that it wouldn't be long before she could attempt to break through to the mid Foundation Establishment period without relying on pills.
Normally, she would be eager to share such good news with her friends, given her cheerful personality,
But for some reason today,
After waking up, Song Chengcheng calmly, without any emotion, said:
"Daoist Chen, shall we start our journey back home?"
"Okay."
The pair once again set foot on the flying boat and flew toward the edge of the Demon Territory.
A few miles away, in a river, a three-colored dragon fish floated on the surface, watching Chen Yi and Song Chengcheng departing on their boat.
A sense of awe and inquiry shone in its eyes, it couldn't understand how there could still be a Golden Body inheritance in this era,
But if it could resurrect itself, then it was plausible that some powerful existences still survived in the world,
With this thought, the three-colored dragon fish didn't surface again. It turned around and headed back to the lake where it had previously rested,
It returned to a hidden hole at the bottom of the lake and went toward the deeper part of the Demon Territory,
In a turbulent flow of spiritual power, it dived in, quietly enjoying the high-purity energy inside,
This was a secret realm left by the ancient Colorful Dragon Clan, enough for it to cultivate to the Five-color Nascent Soul Stage,
Once it reached the Nascent Soul Stage and mastered the five elemental attributes, it could fully unlock the secret realm and take the treasure therein,
Then it could go to the next secret realm in search of the opportunity to transform into a dragon.
As for the mana storm outside this secret realm of the Colorful Dragon Clan,
Those under the realm of God Transcending Monarch,
Whether cultivators or demon beasts, if they possessed mana within their body and entered this place, they would be torn apart by the violent spirit pressure,
This was the real private territory of the Colorful Dragon Clan.
Unless.....
Thinking of this, a trace of awe flashed again in the eyes of the three-colored dragon fish.
...
More than two hours later, Chen Yi and Song Chengcheng returned to the entrance of the Demon Territory,
They were greeted by Wang Tengfei and Zhao Chengyu, who had been waiting there all night.
Seeing Chen Yi and Song Chengcheng finally coming out, Wang Tengfei was overjoyed:
"Daoist Song, how was it? You didn't encounter that strange fish, did you? Was your journey smooth? Were you injured?"
Song Chengcheng came forward and briefly explained the situation to Wang Tengfei and Zhao Chengyu. She didn't delve into her injury, just mentioning they had good luck,
Thanks to Chen Yi, both of them managed to escape.
"I knew it! I knew Chen Yi was hiding his real strength. So how was it, Daoist Song? Did you notice how formidable Chen Yi is? Hehe, this lad loves hiding treasures in his bag!"
Song Chengcheng gave Chen Yi a glance, didn't respond, and instead changed the subject to ask about Wang Tengfei and Zhao Chengyu's experiences.
Wang Tengfei also gave a cursory explanation. On the way back, he had to go all out to protect Zhao Chengyu, revealing some of his hidden cards.
Zhao Chengyu had already sworn not to tell anyone about this secret,
However, during the journey, Zhao Chengyu was like a burden, being protected all the way back. Moreover, his meridians were somewhat damaged by the extreme cold in that short duration,
Now, seeing Song Chengcheng and Chen Yi emerge unscathed, especially knowing that Chen Yi was hiding immense strength and was able to bring Song Chengcheng out,
This made Zhao Chengyu even more distressed,
He was once a high-profile genius, but now he was the liability of the foursome.
Realizing the situation, Song Chengcheng spent a long time comforting Zhao Chengyu and also exchanged some experiences of using the flying sword with Wang Tengfei,
On the journey back home,
song Chengcheng initiated conversation with Chen Yi only a few times, but her beautiful eyes kept glancing at him from time to time, quickly looking away each time.
Chen Yi also simply treated Zhao Chengyu's injuries.
While he was healing Zhao Chengyu through his clothing, Song Chengcheng watched intently, her gaze as piercing as a dagger.
Feeling a little uncomfortable under her stare, Chen Yi began to simultaneously treat Zhao Chengyu's injuries and mollify Song Chengcheng:
"Cough, Daoist Zhao, your biggest problem now is your mental blockage. The injury to your meridians is only a minor old wound caused by your forceful use of mana,
It's very slight, I just need to make minor adjustments and then it'll be fine.
As for other problems, when we return to Wangyue city, I'll take you for mental therapy."
Under Chen Yi's forced explanation, Song Chengcheng huffed lightly, brushing the issue aside.
Wang Tengfei, who had noticed the situation, was somewhat surprised.
What had happened between Song Chengcheng and Chen Yi during their journey that made both of them appear so strange?
However, since both Chen Yi and Song Chengcheng chose to remain silent, it was impossible for him to understand what was happening.
He really didn't understand:
Why had Song Chengcheng suddenly switched from her usual practice of wearing a scanty white dress that showed off her long legs to this tightly wrapped yellow dress?
