Chapter 1285 Reunion
After launching an attack on the grand formation of Changtianmen Mountain, Lin Fan pretended to be exhausted and collapsed.
There's no other way but to pretend.
Golden Core cultivator Ling Yichen slumped to one side, while Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator Shen Xiuyuan also staggered.
She, who has only been cultivating for a year, can use her extraordinary spiritual root as an excuse for her rapid progress. However, in the current situation, being more energetic than someone who has been cultivating for many years is clearly inappropriate.
The plan to use the mountain gate formation to transmit information was discussed with Shen Xiuyuan.
After realizing that the items coming from them might be poisonous, Shen Xiuyuan gave up on sending the communication talisman.
We need to attract the attention of the sect, but we can't have direct contact...
Lin Fan suggested using spiritual power to draw talismans out of thin air to attack, which would not only activate the sect's defenses but also attract the attention of the masters and raise their vigilance.
Shen Xiuyuan could feel his physical condition getting worse and worse, and he couldn't think of any other good solutions. He could only agree to Lin Fan's outrageous suggestion, while worrying about the possibility of success.
When the flames actually shattered the protective array, Shen Xiuyuan's mind was filled with the joy of success, disbelief and astonishment, guilt for offending the sect, and worry for Lin Fan, who had collapsed from exhaustion.
His chaotic emotions made it impossible for his already weak and sluggish brain to think any further. He could only hurriedly examine Lin Fan, fearing that she might have died.
Later, Kuishan recognized his own flying boat, and a group of people listened to Shen Xiuyuan explain the whole story through the flying boat's protective shield.
Lin Fan had been pretending to be unconscious with her eyes closed, but as she listened, her physical fatigue gradually pulled her consciousness into darkness.
The damage caused by radiation is equal for everyone. It's just that Lin Fan's condition is better than others because of his special physical condition.
From the moment she began controlling the flying leaves in the secret realm to continuously chanting the Spirit-Avoiding Incantation to break free from the water, Lin Fan had been relentlessly expending her spiritual energy. For her unique body, the burden was equally heavy.
After landing safely on the airship, she felt a strong tingling sensation, which was a nerve reaction triggered by the repair of damage to her body's cells.
Contacting the Noah and securing external assistance wasn't enough. Only when the Elder of Changtianmen arrived and she heard his familiar and reliable voice did she finally relax and follow her body's instincts.
I don't know how long I slept.
Lin Fan felt a powerful aura enveloping him in the darkness.
She opened her eyes the moment the other person touched her body and instinctively rolled back. But as her wrist was grabbed, she met those all-too-familiar, pitch-black eyes.
"Why are you running?!" Le Zhengyuanqing sat on the edge of the bed and unceremoniously pulled the person who was trying to escape, slamming him heavily onto the couch with a "bang".
"Hiss!" Antonio's big white teeth, which he had just opened, clenched tightly again.
It's been so long since we last met, and Senior Brother... is still as ruthless as ever!
I feel sorry for Lin Fan! But Antonio didn't dare say it.
Chengkong feels sorry for her too.
His precious apprentice was still weak, how could he be so... ill from taking his pulse?
"Senior Immortal Xiaoyao..." Chengkong quickly walked to the side and supported Lin Fan with both hands, asking with a mix of protectiveness and reminder, "How is my little disciple?"
"What do you think?" Le Zhengyuanqing showed no mercy to Lin Fan, frowning and looking angry.
The name Lin Fan almost blurted out when he first woke up was immediately swallowed back down after he was hurt from the fall.
His dulled senses returned, and his gaze fell upon Cheng Kong beside him. He thought to himself, "That was close! I almost self-destructed!"
"I feel..." she carefully examined her body, "...still very numb, and I can't muster any energy. Other than that...it doesn't seem like anything special."
At this point, she suddenly remembered that she was exposed to radiation, and abruptly shook off the hands covering her, pulling back: "You... Master, you can't come near! It's contagious!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Cheng Kong caught a glimpse of Xiaoyao Xian suddenly glancing at him with an unfriendly look. But since Xiaoyao Xian already had an unfriendly expression, he didn't think much of it and focused on calming his little disciple first. "It's alright," Cheng Kong chuckled, "You've been placed under a special restriction, which contains the poison and prevents it from escaping and harming others. The place we're in now has also been specially sealed off, just in case. You can rest assured."
Is there such a way?
Lin Fan glanced at Le Zhengyuanqing subconsciously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him nod slightly.
"Relax!" Antonio finally had a chance to speak, and leaned forward with a smile: "After thoroughly removing harmful substances from the body surface, the residual radiation... uh, toxins in the body will only be released in small amounts through breathing, sweat, excrement, etc., forming residual exposure and posing a certain degree of risk to those around you."
“However, it is also affected by distance, contact time, and the dosage of the toxin. For people like us, it is almost negligible, not to mention you have protective barriers on you, so it's not a big problem.” Antonio waved his hand dismissively.
He was referring to his unique physique, which was the same as Lin Fan's.
Cheng Kong mistakenly thought he was referring to the physical tempering techniques used by high-level cultivators, and thus regarded Antonio as a high-level cultivator as well.
"That's good." Seeing Antonio's relaxed tone, Cheng Kong knew they must have a solution, and breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and asked, "How will you get rid of the toxins in my disciple's body?"
Antonio, reminded by Lin Fan's gaze, realized that she wasn't the only one exposed to radiation, and that the medicine they had might not be effective. His assurance suddenly changed.
"Well, it depends on each person's specific situation, and it may not be effective for everyone. The methods involved involve secret techniques, and we cannot disclose them. We also ask that everyone except the patient be absent when we are treating them."
"Of course." Cheng Kong's previously cheerful heart sank again.
It's common practice to use secret techniques in secret. But this poison is no ordinary one, and for two complete strangers from the Youye Sect to use it alone... he can hardly feel completely at ease.
"Relax!" Antonio saw the fleeting struggle in Cheng Kong's eyes, raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "Life and death are predestined. If you're unlucky and can't be saved, it won't be any worse than this; you'll just die anyway."
Cheng Kong naturally understood the reasoning, but the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Personal disciples are not like ordinary disciples; five of them fell down at once.
just in case……
He even doubted whether his decision to let Lin Fan and the others undergo training was too hasty.
“Let’s go,” Yue Zhengyuanqing suddenly stood up and walked outside. “To see the others.”
“Senior…” Cheng Kong immediately followed, “Then here…”
“She’s not seriously injured,” Yue Zhengyuanqing coldly glanced at Lin Fan. “If she likes to show off, she should suffer more.”
Seeing him stride out the door, Cheng Kong quickly stepped forward to lead the way.
Antonio reached out and ruffled Lin Fan's hair, then chuckled and sighed, "You really scared us to death this time. You had no idea how devastating he looked."
Antonio did not receive rote learning and his understanding of radiation remained at the level of an average person.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after Jin Sichen explained it to him.
Thinking back on that terrifying experience, he even wanted to hang Lin Fan up and give him a good beating. Not to mention the fierce-looking man who had always been strict with Lin Fan, yet clearly placed high hopes on him.
"I'm sorry." Lin Fan pried Antonio's hand away. "The situation at the time..."
“No need to apologize. We just want you to prioritize your safety.” Antonio glanced outside, then reluctantly stood up. “I’ll go now, we can talk more later.”
With Yue Zhengyuanqing looking so pathetic, who could stand it without him around?
Antonio winked at Lin Fan and ran out.
Lin Fan was alone in his room when he let out a long sigh.
Whether Du Xingyu and the others can be rescued successfully is now entirely up to fate.
