The Soul Nourishing Vessel was not complex; it had two array eyes, one for absorbing the divine soul and the other for releasing the essence transformed from the divine soul.

Treating injuries was also quite simple, just absorb the essence released by the Soul Nourishing Vessel, refine it, and the divine soul would be greatly repaired.

Duan Tian briefly experimented and then, with a delighted expression, opened his eyes, "This thing is really good. It directly acts on the divine soul to repair it. My injuries were quite severe, but given the healing speed just now, I might be able to fully recover after absorbing the treatment for half a month."

Lin Chen also looked pleased, "This indeed is a good thing. Senior Zhen, why don't you give it a try?"

Zhen Liuxue waved her hand, "Let Duan Tian use it first. My divine soul isn't severely injured, it's just that the backlash from using divine power too fiercely can't be resolved quickly. Let me recover slowly."

Lin Chen nodded, "Since that's the case, we're not in a hurry to leave. Let's stay here for a while until you both recover somewhat. Otherwise, if we encounter another Quasi-Saint, we would be helpless."

So it was decided. The three of them quietly healed in the tower. Lin Chen manipulating the Linglong Tower to block that attack had also caused him a considerable shock; he too was injured, though not very seriously.

Time flew by and, half a month later, Duan Tian emerged invigorated and handed the Soul Nourishing Vessel back to Lin Chen.

"My injury to the divine soul is completely healed now, and the injuries on my body are almost all better. I am now able to fight again."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Good thing. How much of that substance is still inside? Can you sense it?"

Duan Tian answered, "From the subtle changes in the smoke emanating from it, I'd guess there's still quite a bit left. At the rate I was absorbing it, there should be enough for another three to five months!"

Lin Chen was quite happy with this outcome, "Great, then if anyone's divine soul gets injured in the future, we also have a means to treat it."

Zhen Liuxue, lying on a chair, spoke up, "We took away the Soul Nourishing Vessel. If the Little Demon Emperor can't find us or retrieve it, he might deal with the Great Wilderness Palace. If the Palace Lord asks for it, would you give it back?"

Lin Chen furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, "We are currently in the Demon World, ultimately depending on the Great Wilderness Saint for protection. If the Palace Lord asks for it to use as a bargaining chip for the Demon Emperor, it seems we can't refuse. Otherwise, if the Great Wilderness Palace turns against us and hands us over, wouldn't we be doomed?"

"However, considering that the Palace Lord has previously sent people to intercept those from the Soul Split Sect, this should indicate the intention of the Great Wilderness Saint, which means he doesn't want the Soul Nourishing Vessel to fall into the hands of the Demon Emperor. We've indirectly helped the Great Wilderness Saint; he wouldn't likely be rash enough to return it, right?"

"Well, if we can keep it, we'll keep it. If we can't, we shouldn't make enemies with the Great Wilderness Palace for the sake of a Magical Treasure. No matter how good a treasure it is, it's ultimately just a treasure and not worth more than our lives."

Lin Chen was rather open-minded since the Soul Nourishing Vessel was, after all, an unexpected gain. If they could keep it, they would; if not, then not. Even if they had to return it to the Demon Emperor, they could just absorb most of the essence from it before giving it back. Then, if the Demon Emperor wanted to use it to heal, he would have to wait another hundred and eighty years!

Not to mention, by disrupting the Demon Emperor's plan to use the Soul Nourishing Vessel to heal his divine soul, they were indirectly delaying his recovery time. Wasn't this buying more time and advantage for the Immortal Realm?

Without recovering, fighting wouldn't be as effective for the Demon Emperor!

It's said that both the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor were injured after their battle. It's a pity I can't return now; otherwise, bringing this Soul Nourishing Vessel back and presenting it before the Immortal Emperor would be an unparalleled merit.

Such a pity.

Lin Chen let his thoughts wander for a bit, then refocused and asked, "Senior Zhen, how are you doing now?"

Zhen Liuxue answered, "Much better than before, but complete recovery will still take quite some time. The backlash from the Power of Time is not as easily resolved as ordinary divine power backlash."

After a pause, Zhen Liuxue added, "If we encounter an enemy again, and if their strength is at the level of a Quasi-Saint, I should be able to handle it if I only take a defensive position and exert part of my strength."

Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief, "That's already very good. Since that's the case, you guys continue to rest. I'll have Bai Manmei continue towards the Dark Dragon Mountain Range to search for the Ghost Face Flower."

"OK!"

Lin Chen's figure flashed, and he reached the bottom of the Abyss where Bai Manmei sat in cultivation.

Noticing something amiss, Bai Manmei opened her eyes and saw Lin Chen, who appeared as if out of thin air.

Bai Manmei didn't show any shock but got up neatly, "Do you have any orders?"

Lin Chen hummed, "We've been hiding for a while, and if they were searching, they probably would have stopped by now. We should continue our journey towards the Dark Dragon Mountain Range, searching for the Ghost Face Flower."

Bai Manmei promptly agreed, "Yes!"

Lin Chen watched her face, "Do you have any questions?"

Bai Manmei answered without hesitation, "No, your command is my mission!"
