2822 Her heartache
“I’ll send the spiritual pills to brother Ling first. ” Mixiu didn’t want to waste a single second and immediately ran outside.
“Wait, we’ll go after lunch.” Ling Chuxi said.
“No need. Senior Sister Ling, you guys eat.” “Ah, I forgot to make lunch,” Mixiu said urgently before smacking her head.”I’ll go make lunch first and then deliver the pills to brother Ling.”
“It’s fine. I’m going to visit Yichen too. I’ll just eat something later.” Seeing meixiu’s energetic look, Ling Chuxi smiled and said,”
Although meixiu had said that there was nothing strange about Ling Yichen, Ling Chuxi still felt a little worried.
On the way back, they had a simple meal and brought back some food for Ling Yichen before returning to the dilapidated little courtyard.
With their cultivation, it was not a big deal for them to go without eating or drinking for several months. However, Ling Yichen’s cultivation was now completely crippled, so he definitely could not do that.
However, when he returned to the small courtyard, the few disciples in charge of Ling Yichen’s safety had already prepared a meal. It seemed that shopkeeper Qian was very concerned about this matter.
Ling Yichen’s back was facing the door as he stared at the distant horizon beyond the broken wall, lost in thought.
Looking at the desolate and old back, Ling Chuxi felt even more sad.
“Yichen,” Ling Chuxi called out softly.
“You guys are here.” Ling Yichen turned around, a faint smile on his face.
He was in such a dire state that he had lost all of his cultivation and was no different from a cripple. In fact, his heart was like dead ashes. He was actually very unwilling to face Ling Chuxi, but he understood Ling Chuxi’s character. He knew that if he continued to treat her like last night, it would only make her feel guilty and sad. Thus, he pretended as if nothing had happened and even smiled.
“Mixiu specially refined a spirit pill for you and brought it back for you.” Ling Chuxi said.
“Senior Sister Ling taught me an alchemy technique that I’ve never even heard of before. It’s really amazing. Many of the spirit pills that I couldn’t refine before have succeeded.” Mixiu excitedly placed the pill on the stone table.
“Thank you,” he said. Ling Yichen said to Ling Chuxi.
Although it was only two words, it seemed to contain a thousand words.
How could he not know Ling Chuxi’s good intentions? she wanted to help him, but she was afraid of hurting his self-esteem. That was why she taught meixiu alchemy, using someone else’s hands to avoid arousing his disgust.
“Is there a need to say these two words between us?” Ling Chuxi smiled slightly.
Seeing that familiar and kind smile, Ling Yichen suddenly felt as if he had returned to the past, back to the days when he had accompanied her in her training and through life and death.
That was probably the best time of his life.
“Let me see your injuries.” Ling Chuxi said.
Ling Yichen did not avoid her and stretched out his hand. His hand, which was originally strong and powerful, was now as dry as firewood.
Holding onto Ling Yichen’s pulse, Ling Chuxi used her divine sense to probe it.
After returning home last night, she had consumed half a piece of the Black Orchid leaf. Ling Chuxi’s divine sense had stabilized and her probing was more detailed and thorough than the night before.
Her brows gradually furrowed,”How could this be? what was going on?
In just one night’s time, Ling Yichen’s injuries had worsened again. What was even more terrifying was that Ling Chuxi had only discovered today that his meridians and sea of Qi were not simply broken. Instead, they were gradually disappearing and turning into nothingness.
Ling Chuxi’s face was a little pale. Once his meridians and Qi ocean completely disappeared, he might not even be able to keep his life.
Ling Chuxi had never heard of anyone who could still survive after losing their meridians and sea of Qi.
