On the other side, Shi Ling walked towards his original cave, his body covered in blood. On his hand was a tree branch that supported his body, preventing him from collapsing. At this moment, one of his legs was bleeding profusely, while several arrows pierced through his body.
The overall strength of the black clothed men from before were much stronger than the black clothed men that Shi Ling had met in the sect before. Although Shi Ling had indeed defeated them in the end, it was still only a miserable victory.
As he walked, Shi Ling felt his vision blurring. His entire body was powerless, and with a plop, he fell to the ground, the walking stick in his hand flying out as well.
Shi Ling stretched out a hand, wanting to take out the Star Origin Fruit from his storage ring, but the pain all over his body made him not have the energy to take it out. At this moment, he felt that his eyelids were very heavy, and an irrepressible sleepiness assaulted him.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared on the ring, and Bai Xiaosheng flew out. When Shi Ling saw Bai Xiaosheng, he couldn't help but smile, and closed his eyes uncontrollably.
When Bai Xiaosheng saw this scene, he was dumbfounded. He immediately shook his head, and used his will to drag Shi Ling's body up and bring him back into the cave.
Very quickly, Bai Xiaosheng flew into the cave, took out the Star Origin Fruit, and squeezed it into juice. He poured it into Shi Ling's mouth, and the Star Origin Fruit instantly dissolved into a sweet medicinal liquid that flowed into every part of Shi Ling's body, repairing every part of his body.
Only after that did Bai Xiaosheng use his will to pull out the arrows on Shi Ling's body. However, at this moment, Bai Xiaosheng discovered that Shi Ling's injuries were much more severe than he had expected. Not only was there poison on the arrows, but many parts of his body had shattered and fractured.
When Bai Xiaosheng's inspection reached this point, he immediately frowned. Although the Star Origin Fruit was known as the healing panacea of the cultivation world, it did not have any detoxifying effects. For a moment, Bai Xiaosheng felt as if his head was two heads.
He flew back and forth within the cave with a thoughtful expression on his face. Very soon, his eyes opened wide as if he had a good idea.
The 'All Knowing Scholar' flew into the storage ring on Shi Ling's finger and used his will to retrieve a large jade basin. Then, he placed it in the cave. Afterwards, he pulled the lake's waters in and poured it into the bathtub.
Bai Xiaosheng controlled Shi Ling's body to fly up and take off all of his clothes. Then, he used a pool of clear water to wash off the blood on Shi Ling's face. Shi Ling then fell into the jade bowl.
In the next moment, a magical scene appeared in the jade basin. The jade basin was like a small whirlpool, pulling the surrounding Spiritual Energy over, and then pouring it into the basin's water. Then, the water became pure and transparent, and as Shi Ling stood in the pure water, his skin could actually absorb the Spiritual Energy!
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the scene in front of him and whispered, "The spirit vein in Shi Ling's body can't be used right now, so he can't absorb the world's spirit energy on his own. However, with the help of this Spirit Gathering Pot, he can dissolve the spirit energy into the water and use the water to permeate the spirit energy into Shi Ling's body.
Inside the bottle was a drop of sparkling and translucent green liquid. Immediately, he dropped the green liquid into the Spirit Gathering Pellet, and in the next moment, he saw the water in the Spirit Gathering Pellet turn green, and waves of pure energy radiated from it.
When Bai Xiaosheng saw this, beads of sweat began to roll down his forehead. He controlled the Spirit Gathering Pellet to float in the air, summoned the Yin Yang Twin Fire, and ignited it under the Spirit Gathering Pellet.
Under the heat of the Yin Yang Twin Flames, the water temperature in the Spirit Gathering Pot continued to rise. Shi Ling, who was inside, could not help but let out a cry.
The black sweat quickly dyed the water in the Spirit Gathering Pellet black. When Bai Xiaosheng saw this, he let out a sigh of relief and said to himself, "I finally managed to force the poison out, I just need to use the Star Origin Fruit, Spirit Gathering Pellet and other herbs to heal him."
With that, Bai Xiaosheng dragged out Shi Ling's body, and then changed the black water in the Spirit Gathering Pot into clean water, before putting Shi Ling back into his bowl. At this time, the Star Origin Fruit juice that Shi Ling drank started to show its medicinal effects, and the injuries on Shi Ling's body started to heal at an alarming rate.
Bai Xiaosheng controlled the Spirit Gathering Pellet and landed on the ground. He looked at Shi Ling's pale face and whispered, "This time, there's no danger, but at least you're lucky. If you were a little later, even the deities wouldn't have been able to catch you."
Then, Bai Xiaosheng went out again, and when he came back, the sky was already dark, and behind him were several demon beast corpses, which were obviously just hunted. Bai Xiaosheng said with a bit of dissatisfaction in his voice, "What lousy forest is this, really, we can't even find a five-thousand-year-old demon beast. Only these seven or eight hundred years old demon beasts can be used as food."
With that, he turned to Shi Ling and said, "Forget it, he's already used to eating Hundred Year Old demon beasts. If he were to eat a Thousand Year Old demon beast, he probably won't be able to take it."
After that, he built a bonfire and placed the pieces of the demon beasts on top of the fire. At the same time, there were a few plants that looked like wild vegetables on the side, which were actually the 900 year old Heavenly Zhu Orchid Grass.
Bai Xiaosheng was roasting the meat while looking back at Shi Ling in the Spirit Gathering Pot. The wounds on his body had basically healed, but his internal organs still needed some time to heal.
Very soon, another two hours passed. At this moment, Shi Ling's eyes slightly narrowed, and his nose offered up his confession. Smelling the fragrance of barbecue, he abruptly opened his eyes and saw Bai Xiaosheng sitting in front of the bonfire, roasting.
When Bai Xiaosheng saw that Shi Ling had woken up, he said, "Don't get up yet, let's soak in the water for two hours!"
When Shi Ling heard this, he subconsciously lowered his head. It was only at this moment that he realized he was sitting inside a large jade basin. His clothes were all taken off and he was immersed in the green medicinal bath.
Shi Ling inhaled deeply as he inhaled the fragrance of the medicine. "Will my injuries recover by tomorrow?"
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "You should rest for the day tomorrow! "Push back the training."
When Shi Ling heard that he could rest for a day, he was overjoyed. However, he still asked, "Will delaying the day be a problem for my future training?"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "The path of cultivation is a gradual one. Only by learning how to move at a certain speed can one maintain a certain level of speed."
In reality, he was already thinking about how to relax. However, at this moment, his face suddenly paled, and his aura began to fluctuate.
As Shi Ling looked at his hands, Bai Xiaosheng also turned his head to look at Shi Ling and immediately flew over. Sensing the fluctuating Qi in Shi Ling's body and the rapidly decreasing Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Gathering Pellet, Bai Xiaosheng asked in surprise, "Is your cultivation about to breakthrough?"
Shi Ling paused for a moment, then turned to Bai Xiaosheng and nodded, saying, "However, it seems to be a breakthrough of the same level. A breakthrough from the initial Spirit Accumulation Realm to the advanced Spirit Accumulation Realm."
When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Not bad, this bloody battle wasn't wasted. The fact that your strength has increased is something to be happy about!"
Without any hesitation, Shi Ling formed a seal with his hands. However, his expression immediately changed as he looked towards Bai Xiaosheng and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Ling said, "Didn't you say earlier that my spirit vein couldn't be used? If I can't use the spirit vein to absorb the spirit energy of the world, there's no way for me to break through! "
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about that. You can't use the Spiritual Pulse. Use this Spirit Gathering Pot to replace it."
Upon hearing his words, Shi Ling lowered his head to look at the huge jade basin he was in and said, "Spirit Gathering Pot?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "It can absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and melt it into the clear water inside. Then, you can absorb the Spiritual Qi through the skin, so you don't need the Spiritual Pulse."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ling was stunned once again. "There's such a thing!"
Bai Xiaosheng said, "There are many wonders in the Great Thousand World. There are many things you haven't seen before. Cultivate in peace!"
When Shi Ling heard this, he did not say anything more. The seals in his hands started changing again. He closed his eyes and an astonishing attraction burst out from within his body, sucking in all the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Gathering Pellet.
At the same time, the Spirit Gathering Pellet also started to circulate. The surprising thing was that no matter how much spirit energy Shi Ling required, the Spirit Gathering Pellet would be able to satisfy his demand.
During the next two hours, the Dharmic Origin within Shi Ling's body started to expand as it continued to absorb spiritual energy. Afterwards, it would be forcefully compressed back by Shi Ling, and as it continued to expand, Shi Ling's Dharmic Origin also continued to compress.
After several hours of healing, not only did the injuries on Shi Ling's body completely heal, but he had also broken through to the Large Success of the Spirit Accumulation Realm. At that time, when facing the black-clothed men, Shi Ling could guarantee that he wouldn't be beaten into such a ghastly state.
A hint of confidence that came from an introvert and an external source appeared on Shi Ling's face. It was the confidence that came from a strong person. Although Shi Ling could not be considered a true expert at the moment, that confidence had already caused a subtle change in his heart.
Bai Xiaosheng flew over and scanned Shi Ling's body before saying, "Not bad, you already have a bit of an appearance."
He flew back to the bonfire and said, "Put on some clothes and come over to eat."
He immediately ran out of the Spirit Gathering Pot and took out a clean set of clothes, shoes and socks from his storage ring. After changing into them, he ran to the bonfire, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and began to eat heartily.
However, after Shi Ling took the first bite, his eyes lit up. He looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Is it because I'm too hungry?" "Why do I feel like this barbecue is much sweeter than the ones from a few days ago?"
The 'All Knowing Scholar' could not help but twitch his mouth and say, "I'm afraid you've never eaten the barbecue from a thousand-year Demonic Beast before?"
Shi Ling gawked for a moment, then forcefully swallowed the roasted meat in his mouth. He said, "It's not bad if I don't get eaten by it. How would I dare to eat it?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "It's a pity that there aren't any thousand year old demonic beasts in the forest, only these seven to eight hundred year old lesser demons. Otherwise, I'll catch a few for you to taste!"
He then looked at the meat in his hand. No wonder the meat was so fresh and tasty, so it was because Bai Xiaosheng had slaughtered even higher level demon beast meat. At this moment, he actually felt a sense of warmth in his heart, since he came to the Spirit Sword Sect, other than Long Yang, Bai Xiaosheng was probably the second person so nice to him.
However, at this time, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly said, "Since you've eaten so much of my food, let's see how I'll split you alive if you still don't grow any stronger!"
Shi Ling hurriedly nodded his head in agreement. However, he then asked doubtfully, "However, then again, why are you so eager to help me improve my strength, Bai Xiaosheng?"
At this time, Bai Xiaosheng said, "I still have the same words, everything I do now is to help you. If you become strong, the Heart Ring won't fall into other people's hands, so I won't be sealed!"
Upon hearing this reason, Shi Ling nodded his head. Then, the Bai Xiaosheng flew out and said, "Eat slowly. I'll go out and bask in the moonlight."
Upon hearing this, Shi Ling could only reply with an 'oh'.
After Bai Xiaosheng exited the cave, he lifted his head to look at the bright moon in the sky. In his eyes, there were several figures that appeared on the moon. There were men and women, and he couldn't help but recall his past.
He could not help but sigh as he murmured to himself, "The next ten thousand years are coming!"
As he spoke up to here, his words paused. He immediately turned to look at Shi Ling who was in the cave and said, "Will you be able to hold on by then?"
