Chapter 2249 — Swift Healing
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Master, don't speak for now. I'll heal you!" Wei Zhao was startled. He knew there was no time to delay. He hurriedly seized the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute's hand, pressed his fingers to the man's pulse, and began circulating the second layer of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, starting to heal the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute while instructing Thunder Pig: "Thunder Pig, go tell Jingyi we're fine and have her come over. I'll restore your strength for you afterward!"
Most of the true qi in Thunder Pig's body had been absorbed by Wei Zhao, but Thunder Pig also knew this was only temporary—that Wei Zhao would help it recover in a little while. So it squeaked twice and dashed swiftly off in the direction of the cave...
The true qi Wei Zhao had absorbed from Thunder Pig had first been used to restore his meridians. But in healing the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute, he first helped repair the man's shattered internal organs and bones! Wei Zhao's meridians were meant for circulating his mental cultivation method and transmitting true qi, and it did no harm to leave the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute's meridians unrepaired for the time being. Wei Zhao had to preserve the man's life first and foremost.
Drawing energy directly from the jade pendant's space and channeling it into the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute's body, Wei Zhao swiftly repaired the shattered internal organs and bones. This miraculous effect made the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute's eyes go wide. "Li'er, when did you learn to cultivate the mental cultivation method and oral formulas of Yue'er's family? You can actually heal your master?"
"Master, don't speak for now—it wastes true qi," Wei Zhao reminded him.
Although the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute would not die with Wei Zhao there, speaking now still wasted a great deal of true qi. Wei Zhao himself was only barely holding on; once he finished healing the man, he would still have to heal himself.
The Heaven-Rank monstrous brute nodded. Though puzzled at heart, he reckoned that Yue'er had most likely taught him, so he stopped doubting and lay there quietly, enjoying the healing Wei Zhao was giving him.
Thunder Pig raced back to the cave. Sun Jingyan had heard that earth-shattering boom earlier as well. Not knowing what had happened, she dared not go forward, yet that sensation of mountains shaking and the ground trembling had left her badly shaken.
She did not know whether someone had taken explosives to blast the mountain, and her heart grew even more anxious. Seeing Thunder Pig return, she hurriedly asked: "Thunder Pig, how is it? Are Wei Zhao and... that Heaven-Rank freak all right?"
"Squeak, squeak!" Though Thunder Pig had seen that Wei Zhao was injured, it also knew that after killing the Grand Protector, Wei Zhao could heal himself and heal the Heaven-Rank monstrous brute, so there was not really any danger. To set Sun Jingyan's mind at ease, Thunder Pig nodded directly.
"They're fine? That's wonderful!" Seeing Thunder Pig nod, Sun Jingyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the great stone weighing on her heart finally dropped.
"Squeak, squeak..." Thunder Pig stretched out its front paw and pointed outside, meaning for Sun Jingyan to follow it.
Sun Jingyan did not hesitate. She followed Thunder Pig out of the cave and headed in the direction of the mountaintop. But the closer she drew to the summit, the more shocked she became! That great hall, once so magnificent beyond compare, had utterly vanished!
True, it had been battered and broken before, with collapsed walls and ruined remnants everywhere, but at least the overall outline had still stood there, giving anyone who looked at it a sense of grand majesty.
But now it was nothing but a vast heap of rubble, broken blue bricks and shattered stone strewn everywhere, and the great hall no longer existed—not even its outline could be made out...
