Chapter 345

"The Young Master should rest."

In the blink of an eye, the night was bright, and the stars and moon flowed.

Ji You, who was meditating on the tea mat, heard Ding Yao's call and opened his eyes gently.

He had just looked inside his body and discovered that it was truly a mess, and there were still terrifying traces where he had been injured.

And this was the result of three months of care; he didn't even know what his body had been drained into at the beginning.

That "Wife Remarrying Array," it's better to be cautious when using it in the future.

Ji You breathed a sigh of relief, then walked along the wall and sat down on the bed.

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu were barefoot with snow-white jade feet, coming down from the made bed to help him sit on the bed.

"Clothes should still be put away properly."

"?"

Ding Yao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly saw a pink bodice under the pillow, so she immediately reached out to pull it away and stuffed it to Zhuo Wanqiu with a slightly red face.

They strictly followed the Appraisal Master's instructions to attend to him personally without leaving his side, just because they were afraid that someone in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan would be detrimental to him, so they had been taking turns guarding the bed for these three months, and sometimes they would just change clothes on the spot for convenience.

Zhuo Wanqiu took the bodice and looked at it, thinking to herself that Senior Sister was a bit excessive; mine had already been put away.

Seeing this scene, Ji You narrowed his eyes calmly, thinking to himself that these two girls must have done something inappropriate to him while he was in a coma, which reminded him of the only part that was full of vigor when he first woke up.

He didn't have consciousness at that time; if it wasn't his inner desire, there must have been an external force in control.

After a night's sleep until dawn, Ji You woke up slowly in the early morning, and Danyangzi's first furnace of elixirs was also delivered, then handed to Ji You to take, with pill light used to catalyze it for him.

The medicinal power penetrated deep into his limbs and bones along with his meridians, and Ji You gradually felt a warm current flowing continuously in his body, and his body gradually relaxed.

It took half an hour to catalyze the medicinal power, and Danyangzi slowly withdrew the pill light into his palm: "Your original body was weak and unable to resist the medicinal power, so absorption was slow, but now that you have woken up and can eat on your own, the subsequent treatment time will be greatly shortened, and the recovery speed will gradually accelerate."

Ji You clenched his fists, feeling a burst of pain in his arms: "But I still have a feeling of powerlessness where I can't hold things, and my legs also have difficulty supporting me."

"This has nothing to do with your injuries, but because you have been depleted for too long and your origin has been lost seriously. This aspect can only be slowly replenished. Before that, I suggest you use a wheelchair first."

"Use a wheelchair?"

Danyangzi stroked his long beard: "I have already instructed the Management Office disciples to go down the mountain to buy one, and it will be delivered in a while. With your current depleted state, any consumption must be reduced."

Ji You shrugged his shoulders, thinking to himself, a wheelchair it is then.

After cultivating his body, he had always presented himself with the image of a brute, looking like a guy with developed limbs and a simple mind; sitting in a wheelchair might make him appear unfathomable.

After giving some other precautions, Danyangzi stood up and left Jixiang Hall.

Ding Yao, who was accompanying the consultation, stood up upon seeing this and began to help Ji You comb his hair and change his clothes.

"Where is Wanqiu?"

"She went to get breakfast, I'll wash up for the Young Master first."

Ding Yao drew water for him, then adjusted the water temperature and stood to the side with a silk cloth.

Not long after, Zhuo Wanqiu returned to the hall with food: "How is the Young Master's physical condition?"

"I still have to be a useless person for a while, it will still be hard for you for a few days."

"It's not hard, our task was originally to take care of the Young Master."

Ji You took the silk cloth from Ding Yao's hand to wipe his face, thinking to himself that your answer sounds a bit happy.

Afterward, the three ate breakfast together, and the Management Office disciple also delivered the wheelchair at this time, and brought Zuo Qiuyang's verbal message, calling him to go to Zizai Hall to meet.

The disaster had passed, and Ji You had almost lost his life to cut off the final Heavenly Dao sacrifice, so he had to know the full picture of this matter.

Yesterday he had just woken up and asked about this, but You Yingqiu said he was in poor spirits, so he should rest for a night and talk about it tomorrow. Now Hall Master Zuoqiu asking to see him was probably for this matter.

After breakfast, Ji You sat in the wheelchair and was pushed out of the main hall by Ding Yao, heading toward Zizai Peak.

The wheelchair made of wood was very slow when moving, and it would bump when encountering pits, and would get stuck if they were slightly deeper.

"The road of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan is so bad, not at all like our Spirit Sword Mountain."

Although Ding Yao is a practitioner and doesn't find this strenuous, she still couldn't help but complain a bit.

"This road is said to have not been repaired for a hundred years, because the disciples on the mountain go up and down by flying, so the demand isn't high, but it really should be repaired."

Ji You murmured, then saw the current Abbot You Yingqiu coming from the cliff on the right, so he cupped his hands and gave a slow salute.

Seeing this scene, You Yingqiu nodded gently.

Afterward, the wheelchair continued to turn on the rugged road, and didn't stop until it reached the front of Zizai Hall.

At this time, Zuo Qiuyang was already sitting in the main hall waiting for him, and seeing him arrive, he stood up from the hall: "How are your injuries?"

"Thanks to the Hall Master's blessing, the recovery is okay. Elder Danyangzi said my injuries are no longer a problem, only some depletion needs nourishment."

"That's good."

Zuo Qiuyang led them into the hall, then sat down in the tea pavilion of Zizai Hall: "I heard from Yan Shimei that you asked about the investigation into the disaster yesterday?"

Ji You nodded: "Everything before was based on guessing, and I couldn't help but worry after waking up. I wonder if Hall Master Zuoqiu caught any live ones."

"Caught them, and interrogated them too. The matter has some discrepancies with what we said at the Cloud Mist Cliff, but the discrepancy isn't big. For the specifics, you can know by looking at the case files."

As Zuo Qiuyang spoke, he took out a thick stack of case files from his hand.

Ding Yao reached out to take them and placed them in front of Ji You, and the ink-scented paper was slowly turned over with his hand movements.

The first half was all the testimonies left by the captured live ones, and the content was everything from the beginning of the planning to the outbreak of the corpse tide.

"The time is different?"

"Correct, according to their testimonies, except for the Chu family, Li family, Zhu family, and Zhuang family, the time when other families participating in this matter joined was different."

Ji You cast his gaze back onto the case files and read them carefully.

The Du family, Bai family, Liu family, and a group of other century-old families were all invited at different times by the Chu family, Li family, Zhuang family, Zhu family, and others to conspire for a great cause.

The reason they were invited was, on one hand, because these families originally had excellent private friendships, and on the other hand, they all had grudges against the Immortal Sects or had always had ambitions.

Their scope of activity at that time was mainly based on Qiling, and the first ruins they opened were also that one.

However, just as guessed, they quickly discovered that the relics of the legacy race were not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

For this, they paid a heavy price, with countless disciples killed or injured, and then began a long attempt to deceive the Heavenly Dao to bring out the immortal fate within.

According to them, the immortal fate in the ruins had a high tolerance for everything, and those fruits full of Heavenly Dao power were examples.

Therefore, the key to bringing out the immortal fate lay in the container.

They tried all the materials they could find in the Azure Cloud World, and finally discovered by chance that infants were the best containers.

Seeing this, Ji You couldn't help but clench his fingers slightly, pinching a wrinkle on the paper.

Zuo Qiuyang glanced at the paragraph he was looking at and said: "Infants are the power of new life, pure in body. I went to ask Yan Shimei, and Yan Shimei said that according to the definition of Heavenly Dao by Heavenly Secret Arts, although Heavenly Dao is supreme, it has no right to destroy new life, which is also the reason they could bring out the immortal fate."

"Using the body of an infant to shield against the punishment of Heavenly Dao."

"Correct."

Ji You remained silent and continued to read.

After discovering that infants could be used as containers, these demons prepared batch after batch of infants, used them to absorb the immortal fate, brought them out, and refined them into elixirs to take.

But what they didn't expect was that even with such great effort, the cultivators who took the elixirs would still turn into monsters like evil seeds, and would even encounter annihilation again when reaching a certain realm.

So they began to look for various other absorption methods, using some cultivators with low presence to experiment, trying to avoid this point.

This description wasn't too detailed, but it solved a doubt in Ji You's heart, which was the difference between evil seeds.

Li Ruilin, Tan Chen, and others, who had been sought by Huang Yueniang for several years, had no consciousness and were similar to ordinary evil seeds.

But the demons in the ruins, including the Bu family, were able to retain their consciousness.

Among them, there were also differences in combat power and ferocity.

It seems these were all results caused by different absorption experiments.

And the content that followed was similar to what Chu Xian said.
