Chapter 38

: Good Habits

Lu Jianghe looked at Xin Ruyin, who was lying unconscious on the bed. She was covered in blood and sweat, and her thin undergarments clung to her skin, making her look extremely disheveled.

Lu Jianghe's eyes were calm and unwavering, showing no pity whatsoever.

He simply made a cleansing spell, and a wisp of spiritual energy swept over Xin Ruyin's body, instantly stripping away all the blood and sweat stains.

Having done all this, he didn't linger and turned to leave the quiet room.

After putting the remaining three pills into the jade bottle, Lu Jianghe returned to his room alone.

The room was completely empty.

This indirectly shows that he is an extremely strong and self-reliant person, which is why he is completely indifferent to external things.

Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and begin meditation to regulate your breathing.

The alchemy process lasted for nearly a month, and then the complete eradication of the Dragon Roar Body from Xin Ruyin's body required a great deal of mental and physical effort.

The entire process appears motionless, but in reality, it involves a continuous output of spiritual energy and an extreme squeezing of the divine consciousness, keeping the mind constantly tense.

As I relaxed, a deep sense of exhaustion washed over me like a tidal wave.

We must quickly return to our peak condition.

This is Lu Jianghe's almost instinctive persistence.

An incomplete state means a weakness.

In the event of a sudden battle or being surrounded by powerful enemies, even the slightest weakness can become a fatal disadvantage, naturally putting oneself at a disadvantage.

no way.

This is a "good habit" developed at the Sword Qi Great Wall.

About two days later.

The quiet room was gently pushed open by a hand.

Xin Ruyin leaned against the door frame and slowly walked out.

She changed into a simple blue dress, her expression radiating joy from within.

Having just awakened, he immediately realized that his cultivation level had dropped to the first level of Qi Refining.

Xin Ruyin tried to meditate and absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Unexpectedly, the residual medicinal power after the meridians in her body were reshaped propelled her cultivation level to rise all the way up to the third level of Qi Refining.

The whole process was smooth and natural.

The burning pain in the meridians and the sluggishness in the flow of spiritual energy that had long been caused by the Dragon Roar Body had completely disappeared at this moment.

As my body and mind relaxed, I felt lighter and more comfortable than ever before.

In addition, Xin Ruyin's appearance and temperament underwent subtle changes.

The cold and haggard feeling that had previously appeared due to the Dragon Roar Body had faded considerably.

Now her skin is radiant and her body lines are no longer so thin, but rather full and soft like a young girl should have.

The plain blue dress that was originally well-fitting now seemed slightly taut at the chest, outlining more pronounced curves than before.

Compared to the past, her demeanor and temperament have gained an added elegance that she herself has not even realized.

The moment she was completely certain that her Dragon Roar Body had been cured, the first thought that came to her mind was to go see Lu Jianghe immediately and tell him this wonderful news in person.

Xin Ruyin almost instinctively lifted her skirt and ran across the courtyard, heading straight for Lu Jianghe's room.

When she arrived at the closed door, she slowly stopped.

Visible to the naked eye, a faint layer of bluish-green water vapor lingered around the room, like the thin mist of an early spring morning, slowly gathering and flowing in a steady rhythm, eventually merging into it.

In an instant, regret and self-blame replaced Xin Ruyin's face.

He cursed himself inwardly for being so reckless!

Senior Lu first refined pills, and then reshaped her meridians. The mental and physical exertion was no small matter.

This is the time for him to meditate and regulate his breathing to recover his energy; he must not be disturbed.

She held her breath and carefully took half a step back, afraid of making too much noise.

At this moment, a streak of light passed through several layers of restrictions surrounding the courtyard and hovered in mid-air.

It is a transducer talisman.

Xin Ruyin glanced at it, her heart stirred slightly.

This communication talisman was definitely not meant for her.

Turning to look at Lu Jianghe's room, the moist air was still slowly circulating, and it was clear that it wouldn't come out anytime soon.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and waved it, taking the communication talisman that was floating in mid-air into her hand.

Input spiritual power.

An unfamiliar voice rang out.

Brother Lu, Han Li has come to visit.

He paused, then added another sentence.

If it is Miss Xin, please break the array's restriction.

I am the one who previously traded the thousand-year-old Huangjingzhi with Fellow Daoist Qi Yunxiao.

Xin Ruyin unconsciously stroked the edge of the talisman paper with her fingertips.

"Han Li..."

He whispered the name.

I have heard Brother Qi mention this person before.

She traded a thousand-year-old Huangjingzhi mushroom for the cultivator who had refined the Inverted Five Elements Array.

Han Li? He is certainly cautious in his actions.

Xin Ruyin pondered to herself.

Whether Senior Lu or she receives this talisman, they will likely activate the restriction upon hearing its contents.

After a moment's thought, Xin Ruyin made a hand seal, and her fingertips flashed with spiritual light.

Even though he only has the third level of Qi Refining cultivation at this moment, he can still use it effectively thanks to his familiarity with the principles of formations.

As the incantation was activated, the three layers of restrictions enveloping the courtyard rippled outwards like waves, eventually opening a passage at the courtyard gate.

Han Li, dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit, walked in from outside and looked up to see Xin Ruyin standing there.

This was the first time he had met Xin Ruyin in person.

This woman has a refined and elegant appearance, and her beauty is truly stunning.

He couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Although she was not as stunningly beautiful as Nangong Wan, she was still a beauty.

"Fellow Daoist Han, please come in."

Xin Ruyin spoke in a cool voice and gestured for them to proceed.

"Senior Lu is currently in seclusion."

Given her current Qi Refining stage cultivation level, she should, by all accounts, address Han Li, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage, as "senior."

However, with Lu Jianghe, a cultivator before reaching the Core Formation stage, present here, Xin Ruyin, being a meticulous person, weighed the situation and felt that addressing him as "fellow Daoist" was more appropriate and safer at this moment.

Han Li didn't mind the form of address at all. He turned his gaze to the room where spiritual energy was concentrated and asked softly, "Miss Xin, how long has Brother Lu been in seclusion this time?"

Xin Ruyin answered in a low voice, "It's been about two or three days."

Upon hearing this, Han Li's brows furrowed sharply.

When he learned that Spirit Beast Mountain was going to defect to the Imperial Spirit Sect, he was so worried that he could not eat or sleep.

With the decisive battle at Jingu Plain imminent, and based on rumors, the Nascent Soul Ancestors will not participate in the battle at all.

That means the seven factions are doomed to defeat in this battle!

With the tide about to turn, how can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator escape unscathed from being caught in this storm?

Leaving this dangerous place via teleportation array is almost the only way to survive.

With his strength, he was destined to be cannon fodder on the front lines.

After much pleading and persuasion with his cheap master, Li Huayuan, he barely managed to secure a chance to leave Huangfeng Valley, under the pretext of going to Yuanwu Kingdom's market to handle some "personal matters."

Although Li Huayuan was suspicious, he was too busy with the war to investigate further, so he finally nodded in agreement.

They rushed to Yuanwu Kingdom, only to find that Lu Jianghe was in seclusion.

If we really have to wait for more than ten days, that would be really bad...

Han Li was almost certain that the Huangfeng Valley Enforcement Hall's "Tethering Technique" would detect the anomaly.

At that time, the charge of "unauthorized escape" will be confirmed.
