Qing Shiyu stood there, stunned for a long moment, before she finally managed to say, “You… you’re just trying to scare me, right?”
“Believe it or not, that’s up to you,” Ye Wushuang replied indifferently. He sat down and began to wipe the bloodstains from the Tianya Sword. With a faint smile, he added, “Go ahead and take it if you don’t believe me.”
Ultimately, Qing Shiyu didn’t dare to swallow the pill. She looked at Ye Wushuang and asked again, “So… what should we do?”
“I can help you expel the foreign spiritual energy from your body, and then you can take the pill,” Ye Wushuang said matter-of-factly.
“Then hurry up,” Qing Shiyu urged.
“Sure,” Ye Wushuang nodded, stood up, and approached Qing Shiyu with his sword in hand.
“You… what are you doing?” Qing Shiyu was visibly frightened.
“I’m going to help you expel the foreign spiritual energy,” Ye Wushuang explained.
“But why do you need a sword for that?” Qing Shiyu asked hurriedly.
“Because,” Ye Wushuang replied simply.
Seeing that Ye Wushuang didn’t seem to be joking, Qing Shiyu asked again, “How exactly are you going to do that?”
Without another word, Ye Wushuang took Qing Shiyu’s hand and swiftly ran his sword across her fingers. Blood began to drip from her fingertips.
Ye Wushuang then separated his own fingers, allowing his blood to drip as well. However, his blood was surrounded by a faint spiritual aura, which coalesced into a series of talismans that wrapped around his fingers.
With their fingers touching, they could feel the flow of spiritual energy within Qing Shiyu’s body. Among the currents of energy, there were thin strands that were completely out of place, attaching themselves to the talismans on Ye Wushuang’s fingers.
At that moment, Qing Shiyu even felt the pain in her body gradually subsiding.
“I didn’t expect you to know about alchemy as well…” Qing Shiyu said with a smile.
After a short while, Ye Wushuang stood up and said, “It’s done. Take the Restorative Pill now. This pill should be enough to restore you to the eighth or ninth level of the Refining Body realm. An hour should be sufficient for your recovery.”
Qing Shiyu nodded in agreement.
Ye Wushuang then left the valley to scout the surroundings.
Watching Ye Wushuang’s retreating figure, Qing Shiyu felt that this young man was both warm-hearted and cold, but his character seemed fundamentally good. Moreover, when she had woken up that morning to find herself wearing a man’s clothes, she had been terrified. However, upon closer inspection, she found no injuries on her body, which was why she trusted Ye Wushuang.
But then she thought, with her exceptional beauty—she was considered one of the top beauties in Qingyun Academy—how could this guy not be attracted to her? It was a bit of a letdown, actually.
An hour later, Qing Shiyu emerged from the valley, her complexion rosy and radiant. She had changed into a light blue dress that accentuated her graceful figure. With her bright eyes, white teeth, and smooth skin, she was truly captivating.
Ye Wushuang glanced at her and simply said, “Lead the way. Let’s go.”
The two of them left the area and headed deeper into the forest…
“Ye Wushuang, you’re also interested in the ruins?” Qing Shiyu casually asked on their way.
“Who wouldn’t be interested in the relics of a Tian Gang realm cultivator?” Ye Wushuang replied, though a fleeting shadow of sadness crossed his eyes.
Whose relics were these, among the eighteen Ask-the-Heaven Guards of old?
No matter whose they were, Ye Wushuang found it hard to accept…
After a day of winding their way through the forest and avoiding the nests of spiritual beasts, they finally arrived at the location Qing Shiyu had described.
Ahead was a slope, and nestled within the rolling hills was a valley surrounded by towering trees that reached a hundred feet into the sky.
Hiding on an ancient tree, Qing Shiyu and Ye Wushuang looked out from a hundred feet away. Qing Shiyu said, “This is the place. We went through a lot of trouble and endured many hardships to find it.”
“Inside this valley, there’s an underground passage leading to a subterranean palace. We only confirmed that it was the relic of one of the eighteen Ask-the-Heaven Guards and didn’t dare to go further.”
After all, with their current levels—initial stages of the Condensation Pulse realm and high levels of the Refining Body realm—entering the relic of a Tian Gang realm cultivator would most likely be fatal.
As Qing Shiyu finished speaking, a series of whooshing sounds came from their left. One by one, figures appeared…
