Chapter 545

"Head!"

Xiao exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward, carefully supporting Zhongli.

But Zhongli frowned tightly, his face pale, clearly in a dying state.

At this time, everyone else had already arrived.

Seeing the situation, they were shocked.

"Yae Miko, what's the situation?"

Venti looked at Zhongli with some worry and asked.

"I don't know either; I was just taking Ei and the others on a tour, and just as I walked here, Headmaster Zhongli was thrown out by the Lock-Demon Tower."

Alice was silent, stepped forward to observe for a moment, turned her head and said in a deep voice:

"Mind damaged, meridians broken, divine soul also torn apart, blood almost drained, and the worst thing is that his sea of consciousness was also shattered."

Cloud Retainer said urgently:

"So, Elder Alice, what's the situation?"

"Simply put, he is dying."

Alice said heavily.

Everyone panicked, looking at Zhongli, whose breathing was becoming weaker and weaker in Xiao's arms.

Ei and the others were also at a loss.

How did the invincible Martial God of Teyvat become in a dying state now?

Lock-Demon Tower, what exactly happened?

"What to do? Elder Alice, can he be saved?"

Venti said anxiously; everyone was about to see good days, and suddenly Zhongli became like this.

Although he often found trouble for Zhongli on weekdays, Zhongli was also his best friend.

Alice shook her head and said in a low voice:

"If the Sect Master were here, perhaps it would be possible... but..."

"Mind and divine soul damaged, we don't have such alchemy pills."

Xiao's eyes were red.

"Are we just going to watch the Head..."

Ganyu pondered for a moment and suddenly said urgently:

"I have it! The Sect Master gave me a bottle of alchemy pills before he left, saying that if someone was injured, they could use this."

"Ganyu, quick! Zhongli is about to die."

Alice hurriedly urged Ganyu.

Ganyu gritted her teeth; she didn't know the specific effect of the alchemy pills, but at this moment, she could only treat a dead horse as a living horse.

Pouring out an alchemy pill, the refreshing fragrance made everyone's spirits shake.

Xiao took the pill and hurriedly fed it to Zhongli.

A stream of light flickered, and Zhongli's figure seemed to become transparent.

Everyone could see clearly that the pill melted upon entering the mouth, becoming a gurgling, glowing stream, wandering on Zhongli's body.

The broken meridians were forcibly straightened, repaired, and filled, and the divine soul and sea of consciousness also gradually calmed down and slowly recovered under Alice's perception.

Everyone stared nervously, not knowing how long it had passed, before Zhongli's aura slowly recovered a little.

"This seems to be... Nine-Spirit Golden Pill! It is a recovery-type alchemy pill used by cultivators at the Refining Spirit into Void stage!"

Baizhu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

"Then Headmaster Zhongli he..."

Xiao looked at Baizhu expectantly, and the latter nodded.

"It should be fine; if it is the Nine-Spirit Golden Pill, although it cannot make him recover immediately, it can repair the injuries to his body and soul."

"Afterward, just adjust and nurture it yourself."

Only then did Xiao breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Ganyu.

The situation happened too suddenly, and Ei and the others were still dazed.

Only knowing that Zhongli was dying for no reason, and then Ganyu took another alchemy pill...

They really couldn't understand the situation in the cultivation world.

"Cough cough..."

A cough made everyone hurriedly pay attention to Zhongli, who opened his eyes weakly.

Seeing Xiao for the first time, Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice:

"It seems I am still alive..."

"Headmaster Zhongli! It's great that you're okay."

Xiao was overjoyed and hurriedly said:

"It was Ganyu who saved you with the alchemy pills left by the Sect Master."

"Is that so... thank you."

Zhongli supported himself to stand up; the meridians were still being repaired, and that kind of pain made Zhongli couldn't help but frown.

"Headmaster Zhongli, what happened in the Lock-Demon Tower? Didn't you go to break through? Why did you become like this?"

Furina looked at Zhongli with some worry.

Now, he came out, but Jiang Yan was still inside.

Zhongli didn't rush to answer, just looked up at the real sun, with some relief in his eyes.

"One day in Shushan, one year in the tower..."

"I went in this time... it's been almost three years, right? The power of time is truly terrifying."

Everyone didn't interrupt Zhongli and waited quietly for him to continue.

Venti walked behind him and gently channeled true essence into his body to help him recover from his injuries.

Zhongli nodded at him and spoke slowly:

"I entered the Lock-Demon Tower with the Sect Master; a few months later, we arrived at the fourth floor, and after that, the Sect Master and I separated."

"And I, explored the fourth floor alone."

"About a year later, I arrived at the fifth floor, encountered a demon beast at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, and after a great battle, successfully broke through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"I originally wanted to return immediately, but considering that I still needed to stabilize my realm and hone my spells, I stayed behind."

"Even, after there were no opponents on the fifth floor, I climbed to the sixth floor."

"But I didn't expect..."

A coldness flashed in Zhongli's eyes, and his whole aura became explosive.

"Not long after climbing to the sixth floor, I met a young man who looked harmless to humans and animals."

"He claimed to have accidentally fallen into the Lock-Demon Tower and was originally a person of Shushan, but later, due to a coincidence, he was trapped in it."

"I observed that his sword-flying technique was indeed used well, and he had a Shushan disciple token, and his strength was only at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"I thought nothing would happen, or perhaps he used some strange means on me, so I agreed to travel together in a moment of confusion."

"After traveling together for a few months, he took advantage of a day when I relaxed my vigilance and poisoned me, making my true essence unable to recover."

"At that time, I knew that he was a magic cultivator who had infiltrated Shushan back then and was imprisoned in the Lock-Demon Tower by Shushan."

"And he himself was also at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

Zhongli clenched his fists tightly and said coldly:

"He intended to use my life essence as a guide to forcibly break through the blockade of the Lock-Demon Tower and break through his realm."

"He wanted to refine my life essence into medicine to take."

"I couldn't mobilize my true essence and was forcibly bled by him for three full months..."

"My divine soul and sea of consciousness were also devoured."

"If it weren't for the last moment, an existence at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit came to seek revenge on him, I'm afraid I would have already..."

"But because of this, in the battle, I was affected, and all the meridians in my body were broken."

Saying these words, Zhongli's hatred spread across the sky.

This was the first time Xiao had seen Zhongli hate someone so much, his eyes were red.

But just thinking about it, it felt terrifying.

Being tied up, forcibly bled for three months, and having his divine soul torn apart.
