Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 862 Return Chapter

one Year.

Xu Xingdu is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while she, despite having better aptitude, is only at the eighth level...

Neither of them noticed Yuan's subtle movements.

After exchanging a few words, they found their direction and disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests with a few leaps.

Not long after.

They found a fairly flat open space.

After tidying up briefly, Xu Xing put down Hong in his hand and Yuan on his back.

"Their injuries need to be treated."

Hong is fine.

Although he had already fainted and was half-dead.

But perhaps because he had already achieved fetal breathing and reached that special state, his overall condition was much better than when he was first found.

And Yuan.

If the bleeding doesn't stop, she'll probably faint.

And her hand also needs treatment, otherwise it might be ruined...

“…” Bie Xuening stared at them for a while, then said, “Junior brother, you should treat their injuries first. I’ll go and see if any pursuers are following us.”

Although her master had taught her how to treat injuries, she...

Not particularly good at it.

On the contrary, the junior student learned very well.

During that year, I traveled with my master to other settlements and learned a lot about this subject from them.

According to the master, the junior brother has already mastered these concepts.

They have completely surpassed their teachers.

These are Master's exact words!

"Mm." Xu Xing nodded slightly. "Then you must be careful, Senior Sister."

"Do not worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed away.

Bie Xuening vanished completely.

For a moment, only Yuan, Xu Xing, and the completely unconscious Hong remained in the open space.

Yuan lowered his head, seemingly going through an extremely intense internal struggle, before looking up at Xu Xing and whispering.

"Thank you."

Because the sound was too soft, Xu Xing, who was rummaging through the medicine pouch at his waist, did not hear it clearly.

"Hmm, did you say anything just now?"

Xu Xing, after taking out a small jade bottle from his medicine pouch, looked at her with some confusion.

"..."

She pursed her lips, but this time she didn't say one thing and mean another like before.

"Thank you."

This guy actually thanked me?

Xu Xing raised an eyebrow, but didn't seem inclined to argue with her.

"You're welcome."

He casually opened the small jade bottle and handed it over.

"Drink this first, it'll be a little bitter."

"Ah."

Yuan obediently took it with his good hand.

Xu Xing then came to Hong's side and placed his fingers on Hong's wrist, injecting a wisp of spiritual energy.

But in less than two seconds, an even stronger force spontaneously emerged, easily crushing his trace of spiritual power.

emm...

The recovery was really fast.

It seems that this special state not only has stats that are like cheating, but its mechanics are also a bit abnormal...

Xu Xing observed for a while longer before moving Hong to the inside.

Unfortunately, his existing healing methods are completely ineffective against a cultivator at the Fetal Breathing Realm, especially someone like Hong, whose Fetal Breathing Realm is quite unique.

As for the elixir...

I'm afraid only the laxative given to him was effective.

For all these reasons, it's better to let him recover on his own.

Thinking about it, Xu Xing walked over to Yuan's side again.

Only after confirming that the bleeding from her thigh wound had stopped thanks to the elixir did they feel relieved.

Tsk!
This cultivator has such a good physique!
The bleeding, which was just like a fountain, has now completely stopped.

And despite losing so much blood, she was still able to stay conscious!

only……

"Why haven't you drunk it yet?"

"...I'll drink it now."

She had just taken a small bite when the bitterness shot straight to the top of her head, making her question the meaning of life.

That's why I hesitated and didn't drink it. But now...

Looking at Xu Xing, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and poured the medicine from the jade bottle down her throat.

An intense bitterness exploded in his mouth, seemingly reaching the depths of his soul, and Yuan's expression immediately contorted.

But her strong sense of pride kept her from gagging.

It took a long time before he finally came to his senses.

Xu Xing then handed over a small bamboo tube containing a deep, crystalline essence of spiritual bamboo.

"Have some of this to calm down."

Yuan was speechless at this point, and could only reach out and take it with a bitter face.

Then, Xu Xing squatted down beside her.

"Bear with it, I'll set your bones first, it might hurt a little."

Remembering the medicine he had just taken, Yuan hesitated.

It really is just...

Does it hurt a little?

……

About twenty minutes later.

Bie Xuening and Wu Shi, who looked grave, returned.

Hong's breath was no longer as weak as before, and he was lying on the ground.

Yuan leaned weakly against the tree.

The right hand, which was originally unnaturally twisted, has been fixed with freshly split wooden boards and strips of cloth, and even the bruises on the ankle have subsided considerably.

Although current practitioners do not possess healing techniques.

However, it is still possible to use spiritual power to unblock the meridians and promote blood circulation.

"Master!"

Seeing the two return, Xu Xing stood up and went to greet them.

Wu Shi glanced at the two of them:
"How is the situation?"

"Yuan is fine. Her injuries have been treated, and she can rest and recover now."

Xu Xing looked at Hong, who was still unconscious.

“But I can’t see through Hong’s situation. There is a very strong power in his body that I can’t observe with my spiritual power.”

"Ah."

Wu Shi nodded slightly and walked up.

Just like with Xu Xing earlier, he took his wrist, probed with a wisp of magic power, and observed for a while.

"It's alright, he's already starting to recover."

Wu Shi stood up, feeling somewhat surprised.

If I remember correctly, this kid has only just begun to practice fetal breathing, right?
But the strength of his true essence actually surpassed that of the perfected embryonic breathing he had ever seen, and was even close to the quality of his magic power when he was in the early stage of the Qi Condensation stage!
That's impressive...

"Master, what's the situation over there...?"

Xu Xing hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jun, who was leaning against the tree, and Bie Xue Ning, who was right next to Wu Shi, both looked at him.

"..."

Wu Shi fell silent.

He simply couldn't bear to tell anyone about it.

"Let's go first, we can talk on the way, so the pursuers won't catch up later."

He paused for a moment.

"Xue Ning, carry Yuan on your back, Xiao Xing, carry Hong on your back. Let's leave as soon as possible."

Let's stall for as long as possible, and give them some time to prepare.

"Ah."

Bie Xuening didn't think too much and squatted down in front of Yuan.
