Chapter 697 Soul Perfection!?
After grabbing, Ling’er’s small hand fell again, her eyes tightly closed, brows furrowed.
Blood was still flowing from the corner of her mouth, her face as pale as paper. Her usually cute face now made anyone who saw it feel heartbroken.
Especially when seeing those obsidian-black eyes, both Qin Yao and Bai Ran’s expressions changed.
What kind of spell could make someone’s eyeballs turn into this state?
Fang Yu’s gaze was solemn. After looking around, he simply placed Ling’er on the yellow sandy ground.
Initially, he thought Ling’er wasn’t seriously injured and planned to take her back to Nandu before examining her condition.
But now it seemed that Ling’er’s situation wasn’t as optimistic as he had imagined.
Although the formation set by Immortal Flower Butterfly hadn’t activated in the end, Ling’er had likely already been harmed by other means.
After laying Ling’er flat on the ground, Fang Yu placed his left hand on her forehead.
Ling’er’s entire body was burning hot, her temperature far exceeding that of a normal person.
To prevent the weakened Ling’er from suffering secondary injuries, Fang Yu didn’t use true qi but instead used his divine consciousness to scan her entire body.
Seeing the condition of Ling’er’s meridians, Fang Yu was stunned.
Within her meridians, the true qi was flowing normally.
“In such a short time since I last saw her… this girl has already reached the Foundation Formation stage,” Fang Yu sighed inwardly when he saw the golden core inside Ling’er’s body.
He had spent five thousand years and hadn’t even reached the Foundation Building stage.
Yet this girl, not even ten years old… had already reached a realm that many cultivators couldn’t achieve in their entire lifetime.
However, looking at Ling’er’s meridians, there was nothing special about them. If anything, her meridians were just slightly wider than those of other cultivators.
“Her meridians are normal, and her golden core is of normal size… where does her cultivation talent come from?” Fang Yu pondered.
But he didn’t dwell on this point.
The primary task now was to find out what was causing the abnormality in Ling’er’s body.
So, Fang Yu’s divine consciousness delved into Ling’er’s soul.
As soon as his divine consciousness entered Ling’er’s soul, before Fang Yu could see anything, that inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly appeared, filling his mind.
This sense of familiarity had been present since Fang Yu first met Ling’er.
But until now, Fang Yu couldn’t figure out where this familiarity came from.
There were no images of Ling’er in his memory, and considering their ages, it wasn’t possible for him to have known her before.
Yet this sense of familiarity persisted! It wasn’t an illusion!
Therefore, this sense of familiarity actually made Fang Yu feel very uncomfortable.
The primary goal now was to save her, so Fang Yu quickly put aside all distractions and used his divine consciousness to examine Ling’er’s soul.
During this process, Fang Yu’s brows furrowed, becoming increasingly tight.
Seeing Fang Yu’s expression, Qin Yao and Bai Ran exchanged glances, their faces extremely grave.
Obviously, the situation was worse than imagined!
Especially Qin Yao, who now clenched her hands tightly, her eyes tense.
Ling’er had been harmed like this by her grand-master, so she also bore responsibility.
If Ling’er truly couldn’t be healed, Qin Yao’s conscience would be condemned for life.
A moment later, Fang Yu removed his left hand from Ling’er’s forehead and sat on the ground, his brows tightly knit, looking confused.
“Mr. Fang… how is the situation?” Qin Yao couldn’t help but ask.
Fang Yu looked up at Qin Yao, shook his head, and said, “…I’m not sure yet.”
“Not sure?” Bai Ran stepped forward, eyes wide, and asked.
Fang Yu nodded, looking at the closed-eyed Ling’er thoughtfully.
He had just examined Ling’er’s soul but hadn’t found anything abnormal.
Ling’er’s soul was complete and full, without any damage.
At the same time, Fang Yu discovered that Ling’er’s soul was completely different from others’.
The human soul is incomplete from birth, with some parts missing.
It’s said that when cultivators reach the peak of the Tribulation Passing stage, the defects in their souls gradually repair until they become complete, allowing them to ascend to immortality.
But Ling’er, not even ten years old, already had a complete soul without any defects!
Fang Yu examined carefully and found that deep in Ling’er’s soul, there were a total of one hundred and eight soul fragments. Most people were missing at least half, but Ling’er wasn’t missing any!
“Is this why this girl has such strong cultivation talent?” Fang Yu wondered.
But on second thought, it seemed unrelated.
If having a complete soul could give someone such high cultivation talent, then in the ancient cultivation world, all cultivators would have pursued this goal.
But in fact, no cultivator cared about having a complete soul.
From the cultivation path of every cultivator, the soul gradually becomes complete as cultivation level increases. In other words, the completeness of the soul is guided by cultivation level.
This theory, applicable to all cultivators, couldn’t possibly not apply to Ling’er.
However, Fang Yu had never seen anyone with a complete soul at this age before, let alone heard of such a case.
Fang Yu even thought that Ling’er’s soul might have been complete since birth.
“Mr. Fang, let’s change locations. I see strong winds coming; there might be a sandstorm soon,” Bai Ran said, looking into the distance.
The weather in these deserts of the Northwest region was extremely harsh.
Fang Yu nodded and picked up Ling’er.
He had already examined her inside and out but found nothing abnormal.
Since that was the case, there was no point in staying here any longer.
First, he would move her to a safer location, then make further plans.
Fang Yu carried Ling’er and activated the Void Ring on his right finger.
“Whoosh!”
The Void Ring emitted a burst of light.
Bai Ran immediately stepped forward and placed a hand on Fang Yu’s shoulder.
Fang Yu looked at Qin Yao and said, “If you want to come along, put your hand on my shoulder.”
Qin Yao immediately stepped forward and placed her left hand on Fang Yu’s right shoulder.
A strong blue light emanated from the Void Ring, and a powerful spatial force enveloped all four of them.
“Swoosh!”
A second later, the group disappeared from the spot.
…
Xiangcheng District, Nandu Apartments.
The four appeared in the living room of the apartment.
Because there were too many people being transported this time, the teleportation channel was extremely unstable during the process.
Therefore, as soon as they returned to the ground, Bai Ran fell directly to the floor, while Qin Yao held her head, swaying unsteadily, almost falling.
Only Fang Yu maintained a standing posture, still carrying Ling’er in his arms.
“Brother Yu, you’re back.” Su Lengyun heard the noise and walked out from the inner room.
Then, another set of hurried footsteps sounded.
Jiang Ruolan, who hadn’t slept for several days, also came out.
Seeing Ling’er in Fang Yu’s arms, the extremely haggard Jiang Ruolan was overjoyed and immediately ran forward.
“Ling’er!” Jiang Ruolan reached out, wanting to touch Ling’er.
“Ling’er hasn’t escaped danger yet,” Fang Yu said at this moment.
“Danger?” Jiang Ruolan’s body trembled as she looked at Fang Yu and asked in a shaky voice, “What’s wrong with Ling’er?”
“I haven’t figured out what’s wrong with her yet. I need some time,” Fang Yu said.
Jiang Ruolan turned pale, looking at Ling’er.
“My master and the others… how are they?” Jiang Ruolan asked, her lips trembling.
Fang Yu glanced at Su Lengyun.
He had thought Su Lengyun would have explained the situation to Jiang Ruolan, but apparently not.
Meeting Fang Yu’s gaze, Su Lengyun shook her head, indicating that Fang Yu shouldn’t reveal the truth.
Given Jiang Ruolan’s current emotional state, if she learned that her master and four senior and junior sisters were dead, she would likely collapse.
“Your master and the other four were all killed in the wilderness at the border between the Northwest and Central regions,” Fang Yu said.
Hearing this news, Jiang Ruolan was struck as if by lightning. Unable to utter a word, her eyelids fluttered, and she fainted on the spot.
Su Lengyun immediately supported the unconscious Jiang Ruolan.
“No matter how hard it is to accept, it’s the truth. She would find out sooner or later,” Fang Yu said. “If you have time, take her to the vegetable garden in the Ecological Park. Staying there for a while will help her recover her spirit quickly.”
“Alright, as soon as she wakes up, I’ll take her there,” Su Lengyun said, supporting Jiang Ruolan as they walked toward the inner room.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu carried Ling’er to his own room and placed her on the bed.
