Chapter 47: Liu Yi and Zhu Depart

  Ye Xuan is now sitting alone in the yard, sunbathing. His physical injuries have almost healed, except for his severed meridians. He found that his spiritual body was also traumatized and is now very weak, to the point where he can't even contact Hun Dun Lao, and can only warm up in the Dan Tian Palace.

  The only thing that could rouse him was the absorption of spiritual energy from nature, but such energy was too scarce in the world, and his recovery was slow. Just as Ye Xuan was enjoying a sunbath, Liu Yizhu walked over with light steps, and when Ye Xuan saw her, he revealed a faint smile.

  Liu Yizhu saw Ye Xuan's weak appearance and couldn't help but frown, feeling a wave of sympathy.

  Instead, Ye Xuan burst out laughing and said: "How is it? Do you think I look pitiful like this? Don't worry, one day I will regain my strength, trample the Thunder Empire, rescue my mother, and what's more, humiliate the Southern Palace family!" As he spoke, Ye Xuan tilted his head back, with the sunlight shining on his handsome face, exuding an aura of heroism.

  Liu Yi Zhu was suddenly deeply attracted to this face, and she firmly believed in what Ye Xuan said. She nodded and said: "Ye Xuan, I believe you, you must be able to." After finishing, she took a glance at Ye Xuan, her lips moved slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "What's wrong, Yizhu?" he asked, having caught the expression just in time.

  Liu Yizhu pursed her lips and suddenly let out a long breath, saying: "I want to go out and temper myself!"

  When she heard this, Ye Xuan furrowed his brow. Liu Yizhu thought he was overthinking and quickly explained: "I'm currently at the Eightfold Mystic Qi stage, and only through continuous training can my strength increase rapidly. Otherwise, I'll be like a greenhouse flower, and even if I reach the Starry Mystic Realm, I probably won't be able to beat those two people."

  Ye Xuan heard her words, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Alright, you remember that if your strength hasn't reached the fourth rank of Xuanjing, don't go to take revenge. The person who killed your father is at least at the fourth rank of Xuanjing."

  Liu Yizhu nodded slightly, her eyebrows furrowing again as she had just relaxed them. The Four-Star Xuanjing Realm was still a far-off goal for her now. At this time, Ye Xuan continued, "I originally wanted to wait until the competition ended and then go with you to take revenge, but now I'm back to where I was three months ago."

  Liu Yizhu said: "I heard that there is a kind of Dan medicine that can restore the damaged meridians, if I encounter it, I will definitely get it for you."

  A gentle breeze blew by, and Liu Yizhu's black hair fluttered like silk ribbons in the wind. Her slender eyebrows and starry eyes shone brightly like a clear moon. Ye Xuan gazed at Liu Yizhu's delicate face, feeling warmth in his heart. Liu Yizhu seemed to sense his gaze and couldn't help but blush.

  ……

  In the blink of an eye, a month had passed and Liu Yizhu also left the Ye family to go out and gain experience. Ye Xuan did not become disheartened due to his meridians being severed, this stemmed from the optimistic ideology he had cultivated since childhood. He wandered around every corner of Xihuo City every day, searching for places with dense spiritual energy, but in the past month, he had gained nothing.

  Ye Xuan came to Liu Guan Ya alone again, Ye Xuan didn't know what was going on, suddenly wanted to go down to the bottom of the cliff to take a look, so he started climbing down along the cliff wall, slowly reaching the bottom of the cliff, and once again came to the place where the white bones were buried.

  It was strange that the branch he inserted actually grew green leaves. Ye Xuan walked over, touched the leaves, and suddenly felt a familiar gas emanating from them. This familiarity made Ye Xuan's heart joyful, because this gas was indeed spiritual energy.

  Ye Xuan sat down beside the branch, starting to absorb the spiritual energy emitted by the branch. What excited him was that the concentration of this gas was very high. The spiritual energy first entered his dantian, then into the palace of his dantian. In the weak spiritual body in the palace of his dantian, with the entry of the spiritual energy, it began to condense slowly.

  About two hours later, Ye Xuan finally felt his spiritual energy filling up, and his previously weak spiritual body began to gradually recover. This made Ye Xuan very happy, and he tried to mobilize his spiritual body to the Soul Heart.

  A white misty chaotic world suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan's line of sight, at this time, the white-bearded Chaotic Old Man floated over, Ye Xuan made a bitter face and said: "Chaotic Old Man, I'm in a terrible situation now!"

  "Have you had your meridians severed?" asked Hundun Lao with a frown.

  Ye Xuan helplessly nodded, and the old man Hun Dun said with a sneer: "This time you've seen how insignificant your own strength is."

  Ye Xuan glared with round eyes and said, "I told you, Hun Dun Lao, don't mock me. My meridians are all severed, and I've become a useless person again. It's not easy for me to recover my spiritual body, and now that I'm here,..."

  "It's just a broken meridian, what's the big deal? You have to know that without destruction there is no construction!" said Hun Dun Lao with disdain.

  Ye Xuan looked at him and felt a surge of joy in his heart, asking: "Do you have a way to recover?"

  Hun Dun nodded and said, "It's just that you're so lucky to have met me. Let me tell you, this ultimate secret technique is something that only a few people on this continent know about. Not to mention restoring your meridians, but after practicing my secret technique, I reckon you won't even want those meridians of yours anymore."

  "What?" Ye Xuan was shocked, his jaw almost dropping. He interrupted the old man's words: "I'm saying, you'd better stop bragging and get to the point!"

  Hun Dun Lao chuckled and said: "Alright, now that your meridians are severed, do you know that there is a type of meridian called the Spiritual Meridian?"

  "What's a spiritual pulse? What kind of pulse is that?" Ye Xuan had never heard of a spiritual pulse before.

  "Not bad, the spiritual pulse is formed by the spiritual force in the 72 palaces of the human body, it absorbs energy faster than the meridians, and especially the spiritual energy, which is hundreds of times stronger than what you have now." The old man from the Primordial Chaos stroked his beard, speaking with an air of pride.

  "Is it really so powerful? Do you have such a shaping method?" Ye Xuan asked tentatively.

  Yes!

  "Aren't you suffering from amnesia?"

  "It just so happens I haven't forgotten this secret technique!"

  "That's great! Hurry up and tell me about the secret skill!" Ye Xuan exclaimed excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

  Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Hun Dun looked at him with a hint of embarrassment and said, "However, you can't practice yet!"

  "Hey, hey, hey, Hun Dun Lao, stop teasing me! Why can't I practice?!" Ye Xuan became anxious as soon as he heard that he couldn't practice.

  "To cultivate this secret technique, one must have a spiritual body that has reached the orange level to condense and refine the spiritual pulse. Otherwise, the spiritual power is too weak and cannot be condensed into a spiritual pulse. This is what people call the real strength of a second-level artifact refiner."

  "What? A Second-Order Artificer?"
