“Yaoyao!”
“No, this is Yaoyao in her soul state!”
The mont Su Jingzhen saw Qiu Yaoyao, his expression turned visibly emotional.
However, when he realized that her current state was rely her soul, an indescribable rage surged within him.
“Who… Who did this?”
Before seeing Qiu Yaoyao, Su Jingzhen had feared that sothing bad might have happened to her.
Yet, he hadn’t expected the situation to be this dire.
In just a few hours, her physical body was gone.
He couldn’t imagine the suffering Qiu Yaoyao must have gone through.
“Where… where is she now?”
Despite the storm of emotions raging inside him, Su Jingzhen forced himself to calm down.
Desperate for answers, he turned his gaze toward Li Lingxi.
However, Li Lingxi calmly said, “Her current state is excellent – better than it has ever been.
This is not sothing you need to worry about.
I can assure you that when you see her again, she will not only be complete, but utterly transford”.
As she spoke, Li Lingxi pointed one hand toward the heavens and the other toward the earth, swearing the most solemn of the Heavenly Dao oaths.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen’s emotions eased slightly, though his eyes still brimd with confusion.
There were still too many unanswered questions.
For example, what exactly was Li Lingxi planning to do? Qiu Yaoyao had lost her physical body – how could that be considered “better than ever”?
And who had brought Qiu Yaoyao to such a state?
Su Jingzhen had his own principles in the cultivation world.
Kindness must be returned, and revenge must be taken, even if it ans waiting until the next day.
“All you need to do is focus on preparing for the Alchemy Grand et,” Li Lingxi said, her tone earnest.
“As for Qiu Yaoyao, I’ve taken a Heavenly Dao Oath. She will not be hard.
As for her enemies, when the ti cos, she will tell you about them herself.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen fell silent for a mont and decided not to push any further.
Everything could wait until Qiu Yaoyao returned.
That being said, he trusted Li Lingxi entirely.
Given her status and strength, there was no reason for her to deceive him.
After taking a deep breath, Su Jingzhen bowed respectfully to Li Lingxi once again.
“In that case, I leave everything in your hands, Elder.”
It was rare for Su Jingzhen to address soone in the cultivation world with such formality and respect.
Li Lingxi smiled again and said, “Rest assured. With here, nothing will go wrong.
And don’t ntion skipping the Alchemy Grand Gathering again.
Go now. Within a month at the latest – ten days at the earliest – Qiu Yaoyao will return to you safe and sound.”
Li Lingxi spoke with absolute certainty.
As her words settled, Qing Yi, who was standing by, began to prepare to see the guests off.
But just then, Li Lingxi seed to rember sothing.
“Wait!”
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise crossed Su Jingzhen’s face.
He saw Li Lingxi’s lips curl back into a smile. “Ah, right. In order to help Qiu Yaoyao recover or even surpass her previous self, I’ll need sothing from you.”
Su Jingzhen grew even more surprised and imdiately responded, “As long as it concerns Yaoyao, you only need to ask. If I have it, it’s yours.”
He paused for a mont before adding, not waiting for Li Lingxi to respond, “However, if it’s convenient, could you share a bit more information about Yaoyao with ?
If I don’t understand the whole picture, even if I continue to participate in the upcoming event, I won’t be able to concentrate.”
He had already noticed that Li Lingxi was very reluctant to let him drop out of the event.
Of course, he too wanted to see it through to the end if possible.
But his mind was still preoccupied with Qiu Yaoyao.
He was desperate to know about her condition.
After hearing this, Li Lingxi was silent for a mont before he sighed deeply.
“I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a special constitution called the Heavenly Tribulation Body.
Qiu Yaoyao has the Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Body.”
This was information that Su Jingzhen would eventually learn, and he was more than qualified to understand Qiu Yaoyao’s current situation.
Li Lingxi went on to explain the basic details and ntioned that Qiu Yaoyao needed to refine the Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Elixir.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s eyes were filled with shock.
Without any hesitation, he imdiately reached out with his consciousness and contacted Su Huohuo in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
“Huohuo, Father has a favor to ask of you.”
Su Huohuo had never seen Su Jingzhen in such a state of urgency.
He imdiately beca a bit serious. “Father, what’s wrong?”
“Father needs so of your blood.”
Upon hearing this, Su Huohuo let out a sigh of relief.
He had thought that sothing serious had happened.
“Don’t worry, father, this is easy.”
He had previously told Su Jingzhen that he could provide as much blood as needed.
At that mont, Su Bingbing and Su Tuntun arrived after overhearing the conversation.
Seeing the two of them, Su Jingzhen thought for a mont before directly asking them to donate so blood.
After all, they were the Void Devourer and the pureblood Ice Phoenix.
Their blood was no less valuable than Su Huohuo’s.
The matter concerned Qiu Yaoyao’s potential resurrection—what if this blood could help?
Soon, Su Jingzhen returned with three large barrels of fresh blood, radiating powerful fluctuations, and handed them to Li Lingxi.
Seeing the sheer quantity and purity, Li Lingxi, Qing Yi, and Little Ling were almost stunned.
“Is this enough? If not, I have plenty more.”
Su Jingzhen’s expression was full of sincerity.
Li Lingxi was stunned for a mont.
Subconsciously, she responded, “It’s enough, it’s enough…”
However, the mont the words left her mouth, she imdiately regretted it.
Blood of this caliber – true dragon and phoenix blood – was extrely valuable to alchemists of her level. Especially for soone like Li Lingxi, it would be easy for her to develop potent pills using this blood.
The more, the better.
“Enough? How could it be enough?”
But now that the words were spoken, she felt that it would be awkward to retract them.
“Well then, thank you again for helping with Qiu Yaoyao’s matter!”
Su Jingzhen bowed to Li Lingxi once again.
He didn’t want to stay any longer. Now that he knew that Qiu Yaoyao had gained sothing from this misfortune, he felt at ease.
In fact, he was even a little excited about it.
The Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Body – although he had never heard of it before, Li Lingxi’s brief explanation had made it sound powerful enough.
“Sister Qing Yi, thank you for everything.”
With that, Su Jingzhen and Little Ling turned their gaze to Qing Yi.
Li Lingxi made a slight gesture, and Qing Yi led them away without hesitation.
“Fire Dragon, Ice Phoenix, and even the legendary Void Devourer…”
As they walked away, Li Lingxi watched Su Jingzhen and the others leave, and then looked back at the three barrels of blood.
…
“Brother Su, Little Ling, Qing Yi won’t see you off anymore.”
After returning Su Jingzhen and Little Ling to their previous position, Qing Yi decided to leave decisively.
At this mont, there was a look of anticipation in her eyes, while Su Jingzhen and Little Ling appeared sowhat puzzled.
However, they didn’t dwell on it. At that mont, they felt sowhat relieved.
They headed straight back to the mansion.
To Su Jingzhen, it seed to be clear: Qiu Yaoyao would awaken her Heavenly Dragon Tribulation Body, and he would participate in the alchemy contest.
They would et again at the peak.
As they thought this, Su Jingzhen and Little Ling suddenly beca serious.
They exchanged glances and both felt that sothing was wrong.
It seed… the road back to the manor wasn’t as long as it should have been?
