Gu Tongbing sat on the ground, assuming a strange ditation posture, sitting cross-legged with his hands on his knees, but with the left palm facing up and the right palm facing down.
After a while, the faint purple aura on his face seed to fade a bit, and even the purple in his eyes diminished significantly when he opened them.
Visibly, his spirit improved, and his aura was no longer as weak as a strand of silk.
It seed that his life was temporarily hanging on.
However, although his life was saved, his entire cultivation was still dissipated, leaving him extrely weak.
While Gu Tongbing was exercising his power, Chen Yan was not idle. He first ran to the mountain wall, stared at the Glazed Purple Treasure Vine for a while, then took out a knife from the Storage Jade Pendant, climbed up the mountain wall, inserted it into the root, and slowly dug out the root of the vine, then placed it entirely into the Storage Jade Pendant.
After he finished, he turned around to find Gu Tongbing sitting on the ground, staring at him with wide eyes.
Chen Yan frowned, "What are you looking at? This vine is naturally mine."
"...I didn’t intend to snatch it from you, and now I can’t compete with you," Gu Tongbing shook his head. "I just feel you’re wasting a valuable resource. Such precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, even if dug out, should be preserved with a Magical Artifact that can store Spiritual Qi, supplented with restrictions, before storing it.
How can you just casually throw it into a Storage Magical Artifact like that?"
Chen Yan’s heart was moved, so he walked over, picked up Gu Tongbing’s "Sleeve Universe," and searched through it, indeed finding a jade box.
With a quick identification, he recognized it as a top-grade container for storing spiritual plants, with spells for quelling and storing Spiritual Qi cast on it.
Naturally, Chen Yan unreservedly accepted it, casually removing the vine and placing it into the jade box, then storing it back in his Storage Jade Pendant.
After doing these, Chen Yan walked over to Gu Tongbing, waved his hand, summoning a few objects covered in layers of powerful spell restrictions from the "Sleeve Universe."
Among these objects covered in powerful spell restrictions, one resembled a human silhouette. Chen Yan took one glance at it, then frowned, "This, is it Old Liang?"
Gu Tongbing nodded, "Naturally, it’s him. I didn’t want to kill him, so I just subdued and spared his life."
Chen Yan was slightly curious, "Why not kill?"
He had personally witnessed this Gu Tongbing, ruthless in thods, who would almost kill his people for the slightest mistake.
How could a person with such a disposition show rcy to an outsider like Old Liang?
Gu Tongbing said calmly, "This Liang Gui is a descendant of the Eagle tribe. After the destruction of his whole clan, the remnants were protected by the Heavenly Dao, leaving a few surviving bloodlines. Killing them brings misfortune and violates the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, he has so distant connections with ."
This ti, without waiting for Chen Yan to ask, Gu Tongbing spoke, "Years ago, during the Red Tide outbreak, Immortal Platforms summoned cultivators from different tribes to serve at the Prison Suppression Platform. When it reached the Black Feathered Sparrow Tribe, Liang Gui volunteered to uphold the quota and serve at the platform for several years.
Back then, my fourth sister Gu Qingyi... well, I suppose you’ve heard of her na..."
Hearing this, Chen Yan thought to himself, not only have I heard of her, but I’m very familiar with her, isn’t she my stepmother!
"My fourth sister Gu Qingyi also served at the Prison Suppression Platform back then. After she returned to the family due to her rits, she ntioned her experiences at the platform, talking about a demon race cultivator nad Liang Gui who once fought alongside her and even helped her once on the battlefield. My fourth sister greatly appreciated and admired him for that.
Given this favor my fourth sister owes him, unless it’s absolutely necessary, I didn’t want to be ruthless with him."
Old Liang, saved Young Lady Gu?
Chen Yan couldn’t help but be surprised.
