Chapter 214 Physical Condition
-
Guan Xun felt as if he were standing on a fiery red magma, which was boiling and crackling, with flames occasionally erupting from beneath his feet.
This is where?
She seemed to have just broken the seal on the Burial Ground of the Dead with Elder Mu...
Unable to open her eyes or move, she only knew that she was being roasted and sweating profusely. Not only her body, but even her soul was burning with pain, and she felt like she was about to explode.
Just when she was about to give up, she felt dizzy and the world spun around her. The originally hot surroundings became extremely cold, making her shiver and feel as if her heart was about to freeze.
The alternation between hot and cold continued, and whenever she was about to give up, a chilling force, seemingly from nowhere, would gently enter her body.
Not only could it suppress the unbearable heat, it could also counteract the cold, making her feel less uncomfortable.
Feeling completely comfortable, Guan Xun relaxed, clearly feeling the air flowing over her skin. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and just as she slowly opened her eyes, a soft sigh reached her ears.
"Ugh……"
The first thing she saw was the rosewood sculpture of the bed, Old Man Mu with his hands behind his back, about to leave, and the blood crystal floating in front of her.
Was that all a dream? What made her feel extremely uncomfortable was the energy of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower, while the soothing feeling came from the cold power of the Blood Crystal.
She frowned and raised her hand to grab the blood crystal floating in front of her.
Old Mu, with his sharp ears, immediately noticed the movement behind him. He paused in his steps, turned around, and saw Guan Xun's actions. Overjoyed, he quickly waved his hands and turned back, saying, "Oh dear, don't touch it, don't touch it."
"You haven't fully absorbed the energy of this blood crystal yet. If you feel no discomfort, please sit up first."
Upon hearing this, Guan Xun also stopped what he was doing.
Seeing that Elder Mu was pushing the blood crystal closer with both palms and using his strength to unleash its energy, the surrounding cold air immediately flowed faster than before, and was trying to surge continuously. She immediately sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing.
Seeing this, Old Mu nodded with satisfaction. This girl is quite clever.
The cold, yin energy of the blood crystal can be accelerated by using internal energy to decompose it, and with the opponent's breathing adjustment, it can be absorbed better.
"I originally thought that it would take several hours for you to fully absorb it before it decomposed slowly, but I didn't expect you to wake up."
Guan Xun took a deep breath, feeling his body stiffen slightly, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with me...?"
Old Mu was somewhat surprised and clicked his tongue twice: "Oh dear, have you forgotten? After you helped me escape, you broke the seal with me, and then suddenly fell into a coma and slept for three days."
Three days? That long?
Speaking of which, Guan Xun remembered that she had been suffering from the torment of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower's energy when suddenly everything went black and she was trapped in a dream of extreme cold and extreme heat.
"Hmm." Elder Mu nodded. In the past few days, besides helping Guan Xun suppress the energy in his body, he had mainly been dealing with clan affairs.
Most people are on Mu Li's side, so we have no choice but to deal with them as well. The clan is in complete disarray now, with only a few old, weak, and disabled people left. Everything has to start from scratch...
And then there's the old matriarch. No one expected Mu Li to be so ruthless, relentlessly interrogating her about the whereabouts of the puppet commander. Luckily, he came out in time, otherwise the old matriarch would have perished with her last breath.
He sighed deeply again, pulling his thoughts back. Seeing that the blood crystal had exhausted its energy, he walked to the chair next to him and sat down, looking at Guan Xun: "How are you feeling?"
Guan Xun got up from the bed, stretched her muscles and bones, and felt a comfort she had never experienced before. This feeling made her feel that her body was completely fine.
However, when she explored her internal body, she discovered that the energy of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower was still present near her dantian.
She frowned slightly: "I feel great all over, but..."
Just as he was about to say something, Elder Mu waved his hand to interrupt him: "The energy in your body is particularly domineering and strange. The energy of the blood crystal can only temporarily confront it and cannot completely suppress it."
"The reason why I feel comfortable and have no abnormalities is simply because the two energies are temporarily on the same balance line. The energy of the blood crystal cannot withstand it and will only continue to dissipate. In the end, everything will be back to normal."
"I see." Guan Xun frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "If just one blood crystal can have such an effect, then I wonder if Elder Mu has any extra blood crystals?"
Upon hearing this, Old Mou visibly choked.
"What do you mean one? I've used nine blood crystals for you in the past three days. Adding the one from earlier, that's all I have left. Do you think such rare things are like roadside stones?! That's all, that's all!" He hurriedly waved his hand.
These words surprised Guan Xun slightly. Could it be that even consuming so many blood crystals couldn't suppress the energy of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower?
She couldn't refine it, nor could she suppress it. What should she do? If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have swallowed it. She should have just destroyed it to end it all! Then she wouldn't have these worries now, this hindrance that keeps threatening her life.
"Girl, why don't you tell me what that thing is? After you find out, maybe I can come up with some solutions." Seeing her predicament, Old Master Mu hesitated for a moment before asking.
Guan Xun's eyes flickered slightly. One should always be wary of others, even if they are people she knows. After all, murder and robbery happen everywhere. This old man had not told her the truth earlier, and his eyes darted away when he mentioned blood crystals. He must have more blood crystals on him.
Just as she was weighing her options, her heart suddenly pounded, and her pupils immediately began to dilate. Her internal energy surged unexpectedly, forcing her to vomit a mouthful of black blood.
"Oh no!" Guan Xun thought to himself, and immediately sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
Blood splattered on the floor, a sight that terrified Old Man Mu. He quickly went to meet her, sat cross-legged behind her, and spread his palms to help her circulate her qi.
Why is the standoff getting shorter and shorter? On the first day when I was unconscious, just one blood crystal was enough to stabilize me. But the more blood crystals I used later, the more I needed. It seems that the energy has developed resistance to the blood crystals, and the first one is no longer effective.
Old Master Mu's expression turned solemn, and he couldn't help but feel conflicted. Blood crystals were beneficial to his cultivation, and he had spent a lot of effort to condense them. Even if he had a few left, he couldn't use them all on this girl... But if he ignored her like this, she might explode and die.
Just as he was struggling with this decision, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy he had been channeling being pushed back by something, causing his hands to tremble several times and his throat to feel hot, almost making him vomit blood.
Before he could react, he was violently blasted away by a powerful shockwave!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Old Mu covered his face, grimacing as he got up, looking at Guan Xun's location with a bewildered expression. He had no idea what had happened; he was just calmly gathering his qi when he was suddenly slapped away.
"How..." The words caught in his throat. He stood there dumbfounded, staring at the large, fluttering gray shadow in front of him, almost unable to look away. "What... what is that???"
