Hell Emperor.

Chapter 357 Ye Jie-Healing
After a while of chatting, Ye Jie seemed to remember something. His expression changed from the joy of the reunion to worry. He said, "By the way, I heard that Nan Linghe also seemed to be in disintegration and her condition was worrying. Where is she now?"

When Ye Jie mentioned Nan Linghe, the atmosphere in the field became solemn and everyone's face darkened. The collapse of Nan Linghe was like a heavy burden pressing on everyone's heart, making them breathless.

Xie Xinyu sighed, "Sister He is resting in the painting scroll of the Qionglou. The maids are taking care of her, so she will be fine."

Xia Wei also came over, her face full of worry: "In order to cure the disintegration in Sister He's body, we need to collect a variety of alchemy materials. However, we have just collected one now. I don't know how long it will take to collect all the materials... I just hope that Sister He can be safe and hold on until the moment we finish collecting the materials."

Ye Jie saw her worry and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, with me here, there is no need to continue collecting refining materials. Let me heal her injuries."

Xia Wei was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. Since the master said so, Sister He must be safe! She believed in the master's words from the bottom of her heart.

"You? Can you really do it?" Su Miao was deeply skeptical. "I've checked her condition. The disintegration in her body has reached a very serious level. Ordinary means are not only unable to heal her, but will accelerate the onset of disintegration, which is not good for her. I remember that you should have a fifth-grade soul-calling pill on you, but even if it is a fifth-grade soul-calling pill, it can't save her. At least a fourth-grade one is needed."

Hearing this, Ye Jie's heart trembled. The severity of Nan Linghe's collapse was far beyond his expectations. He did not hesitate and said quickly: "Whether it will succeed or not, I will know when I see her in person. I will go to find her in the Qionglou scroll now!"

Seeing that Ye Jie had made the decision, Shen Qingge took out the scroll of Qionglou. A golden light enveloped Ye Jie's body, and his figure slowly disappeared. When he came to his senses, he had already arrived inside the scroll of Qionglou.

"I'll go take a look too."

"And I!"

Seeing Ye Jie set off for the Qionglou scroll, the ghosts beside him also clamored to go in together. Shen Qingge did not refuse. He took the Qionglou scroll and slowly swept it, taking in the ghosts one after another, leaving only the living people who could not enter in the outside world.

Coming into the painting, it was not the first time that Ye Jie entered this place. Looking around, the surrounding scenery was no different from the last time he came here. Not far away was the towering wine country, but due to the lack of diners coming and going, it looked a lot quieter.

The news of Ye Jie's return soon alarmed all the maids in the wine country. After hearing this incredible and shocking news, no matter what they were doing just now, they all put down their work and gathered here.

"I never thought I would see you again..."

Yulan ran over in a hurry, saw the familiar face, felt the same breath as before, and was filled with great surprise. She trembled and pursed her lips hard, suppressing the excitement in her heart. Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence: "Are you... okay?"

"It's all right."

Ye Jie answered slowly. In the battle with the Lord of Guangwang Palace, even Ye Jie himself thought that he would die, but he was unexpectedly saved by Moro. After the battle, Yulan must have thought that she was dead, right? I don't know how she has been living during this period of time? Suddenly, as if he discovered something, he couldn't help but smile:

"Oh, by the way, I remember that when we met in the past, you always had your pipa with you. Why can't you see your pipa now? Did you forget to bring it with you in your hurry?"

Yulan stared at him and told Ye Jie a fact in a calm tone, "From the moment I learned of your death, I smashed my pipa and swore never to play it again. I never thought I would see you again today. Isn't this really a dream..."

"Yeah……"

Ye Jie was silent. He didn't expect that Yulan would be so touched by his death. As expected, his life and death did not only affect him, but everyone was affected differently because of this incident. "Maybe I should have announced to everyone earlier that I was still alive, but..."

Ye Jie sighed. Now as the hall master, he was involved in the most brutal struggle of Yama. The seven stitched pages certainly gave him extraordinary power, but they also put him in danger all the time. He himself was not afraid, but he was afraid of involving others around him.

For this reason, although Ye Jie had the opportunity early in the morning to tell his family that he was still alive, he did not do so. He was finally found by Hua Xiaomei and others in the Golden Wheel Palace, and only then was everything made clear.

Speaking of which, Ye Jie had to thank Hua Xiaomei and the others. Even Ye Jie didn't know that in a place he had never known, Yulan had actually done this because of his death.

For Yulan, who is best at music, no longer playing music is equivalent to cutting off all future paths. She will no longer have any outstanding qualities and will become ordinary. However, she has no regrets about it. Ye Jie has no doubt that if he does not show up, she will never touch the pipa again in her life.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie sighed deeply, and felt a little guilty in his heart. He said apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you suffer during this period. Now that I am the Palace Master, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future."

Yulan smiled happily and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she heard an urgent voice beside her: "And we are also sad, okay?"

Following the sound, I saw Bohe also rushing over, pouting her lips, as if she was dissatisfied with Ye Jie's concern for Yulan. It was obvious that she had been sad for a long time because of this.

In response, Ye Jie smiled helplessly: "I understand. Now that I'm back, I will compensate you later. The most important thing now is to cure Nan Linghe's collapse. Is she okay?"

When they heard Ye Jie mention Nan Linghe, the maids sighed and looked sad.

Fuling waved her folding fan: "During this period, we have all taken good care of Sister He, but her health is getting worse day by day, and her injuries are spreading all the time. The time she has left is shorter than anyone expected. If she dies a few more days later, I'm afraid she will never be able to recover..."

Speaking of Nan Linghe's injuries, Bai Luo, as a doctor, has more say: "Her injuries have exceeded the limit of what the Golden Cotton Soul Nourishing Technique can heal. Only real elixirs or immortal methods can heal her, but... she may not be able to hold on for that long. You were able to come back in time to see her for the last time, which also relieved her regret."

"She will be fine." Ye Jie insisted.

Hua Xiaomei seemed to remember something, and was a little uncertain: "I remember that Brother Jie also suffered from collapse and almost lost his soul. Thanks to the Lord of the Demon Palace, he was able to save his life... If we want to cure Sister He, only someone like the Lord of the Demon Palace can do it."

Ye Jie took a deep breath: "Palace Master Mo Luo would never do such a thing. Let me go see Nan Linghe, maybe I have a way to help her recover." Although he knew that the situation was not good for Nan Linghe's body, Ye Jie still maintained an optimistic attitude.

In the eyes of the maids, even if the Golden Coffin Soul Nourishing Technique was used to its limit, it would not be able to save Nan Linghe at this moment. However, what Ye Jie did was not only to use the Golden Coffin Soul Nourishing Technique to its limit, but to go a step further on this level and elevate it to an unprecedented level. He could do what others could not do.

Soon, under the guidance of the maids, Ye Jie also saw the dying Nan Linghe in the guest room inside the wine country.

"This……"

Seeing Nan Linghe's appearance, Ye Jie was shocked, followed by waves of heartache.

Nan Linghe's eyes were closed, his face full of pain, and his once innocent cheeks were now covered with spider-web-like cracks, like broken porcelain that could shatter completely at any time.

Although he was aware of Ye Jie's arrival, Nan Linghe was still in a daze and could not utter a word, as if he was on his deathbed.

Even the maids around couldn't bear to watch any longer and sobbed from time to time.

Yulan sighed and said, "You saw it. With the spread of the collapse, she was almost dying. In order to perform the Soul of the Underworld Art and fight against the powerful enemy, Sister He overdrew all the power in her soul and fell into an incurable collapse... The Soul of the Underworld Art was so terrible, but she did not regret it. Being able to help her companions escape from danger was the proudest thing she had ever done."

Ye Jie remained silent. He stared at the extremely weak Nan Linghe and felt unhappy.

"It is impossible to cure Nan Linghe with only the Daoshi-level Golden Coffin Soul Nourishing Technique. Her soul is so weak that even the slightest movement will cause her to fall into an irretrievable situation. She cannot use any energy at all... The Golden Coffin Soul Nourishing Technique must be upgraded to a higher level!"

Thinking of this, Ye Jie did not hesitate at all, and a series of words appeared again on the seven stitched pages:
[Bookkeeping of life and death:]

[In the autumn of the 639th year of the Moruo calendar, Shura Jie spent 10 million Yin De to modify the martial arts files.]

[Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Dao Shi) has been changed to Golden Wool Soul Nourishing Technique (Wan Hua). 】

After upgrading the Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique to the Wanhua stage, Ye Jie had a deeper understanding of this yin-yang soul-nourishing method. The many profound secrets contained therein now emerged in Ye Jie's mind.

Ye Jie slowly practiced his energy, and as his mind arose, an extremely pure and warm breath flowed along his palm that was placed on Nan Linghe's head, and into her body little by little, spreading rapidly, nourishing her extremely weak soul with its powerful spiritual power.

Stimulated by this, Nan Linghe's face became slightly rosy, and her breath gradually became stable. The maids around her saw the changes in Nan Linghe, and there was a bit more surprise and hope in their eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Jie slowly withdrew his hand, his face showing a bit of fatigue. This was almost impossible for him, who had already upgraded his Divine Dragon Transformation to the Infinite level. He forced himself to take a breath and said:

"The collapse of her body is more serious than I thought... Even the Wanhua-level Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique can only temporarily stabilize her soul and prevent the collapse from getting worse. But if you want to truly heal her, I'm afraid it won't be that easy... If only I had come earlier."

Ye Jie's face was full of self-blame. If the collapse of the Nan Ling Crane had not deteriorated to its current extent, if he had realized that the Nan Ling Crane was in danger earlier, perhaps he could really rely on the power of the Golden Silk Soul Nourishing Technique to restore the Nan Ling Crane to its original state. However, it was a little too late now.

Fuling comforted her, "It's not your fault. It was Sister He's own choice. If she hadn't used the Dark Spirit Divine Art, who knows what would have happened in that battle. You were able to come and see her and fulfill her last wish. It's already a blessing in disguise."

Bai Luo carefully examined Nan Linghe's current condition, her expression becoming more and more surprised.

However, Nan Linghe, who was on the verge of death and complete destruction of his soul at any time before, has now stabilized due to some means used by Ye Jie. Although the collapse has not been completely healed, it has not deteriorated further. As long as the energy in his body is not extinguished, he can at least continue in this state for a few decades.

"Wanhua... Wait, has your Golden Cotton Soul-Nourishing Technique reached the Wanhua stage? How is this possible?" Recalling what Ye Jie had just said, Bai Luo finally realized that something was wrong. This move was not something that an ordinary person could do. When she met Ye Jie again, Bai Luo could not see through the changes in him.

"What's impossible?" Ye Jie waved his hands.

Bai Luo was confused by this and kept insisting, "Of course it's impossible! The Golden Soul Nourishing Technique on your body was a thank-you gift from the maids. It only records the steps to cultivate it to the Transformation Stage, and there is no record of the subsequent cultivation methods. How could you possibly cultivate it to the Ten Thousand Transformations Stage?"

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

Ye Jie answered casually, his eyes always stayed on Nan Linghe. He didn't expect that when they met again, Nan Linghe had become like this, which really distressed him.

Mint said at this time: "Since Sister He's collapse has stabilized, what we need to do next is to follow the previous plan. We only need to collect the alchemy materials, or help the two immortal masters return to the Nether Spirit Palace, and Sister He can be restored to her original state!"

Ye Jie had other plans, "No... I have another way to make Nan Linghe recover faster. I need to take her to the Golden Wheel Palace."

Bai Luo hesitated a little: "Sister He is now in a state of collapse. She can only lie down in the painting scroll of the Qionglou and rest well. Even the slightest movement will be extremely fatal to her. Are you really sure that you can cure her? If it is really impossible, it is better to let her recuperate here in peace."

Ye Jie nodded: "I do have a way... However, I may still lack some good deeds to achieve my goal."

In the end, Ye Jie couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. If he didn't have enough good karma, he wouldn't be able to cure Nan Linghe successfully.
