Chapter 7, Healing from Farewells

The bag is very old and seems to have endured many years. Hong Lian took the bag and began to examine it; it felt very light, almost as if it had no weight. The design resembles that of a money pouch, featuring a string, although it is not adjustable.

Although this time was extremely thrilling, we have finally returned. It is indeed regrettable that the last four black dragons were not hunted down. However, Wang Yu successfully hunted one black dragon, so the objective of this trip can be considered achieved

"Brother Wang Yu, in the future, consider me a part of any matters that arise." Ximen Yue and Li Yi nodded in agreement

"Shopkeeper, do you have any treasure bags? A very ordinary one will do." Hong Lian suddenly had a thought flash through her mind, wanting to get a treasure bag to play with

Name, age, and ten fine stones. The service attendant is very professional and smiles.

The portly shopkeeper was astonished; these treasures were clearly obtained through theft and were not meant to be seen in the light of day

In front of the Heavenly Gate of Donghuang City, Honglian was about to enter but remembered that she had not yet sold her items and did not have any essence stones in hand. With a helpless smile, she turned around and walked into the neighboring Duobao Pavilion

Do you need accommodation? The cheapest here is five essence stones per night. The child casually greeted.

Hong Lian glanced at the young cultivator and, without further ado, turned around and walked away

All around, various types of demon pills were on display, with prices that were shockingly high. Hong Lian found the quotation for the Black Flood Dragon Demon Pill, which had a purchase price of as much as 1,000 spirit stones. Just a moment ago, a large pile of magical treasures was only 400 spirit stones, which clearly indicates the preciousness of demon pills

Xi Menyue has indeed helped me a great deal, now that the aura vortex has recovered, the blood stasis in my body can be easily expelled

Well, these magical artifacts are quite ordinary, except for the Bone Fan which is worth a bit of money; the others are not worth much. How about this: I will purchase them for 400 essence stones. Do you need to sell them?

A young monk inside the counter, seemingly working as a waiter here, surprisingly possesses the cultivation level of a Fusion Stage practitioner

Hong Lian absorbed spiritual energy while simultaneously directing it within her body to attack the stagnant blood. The stagnant blood was gradually crushed under the assault, and the blocked veins began to flow freely again. However, while the veins were unblocked, another issue arose: the crushed stagnant blood remained in the body and could not be expelled. Moreover, the fragments of the stagnant blood were small and difficult to eliminate completely

The Eastern Emperor City remains as magnificent and peaceful as ever, as Hong Lian and the others, who have just escaped from the Black Serpent Valley, stop at their point of departure

Although it cannot be transformed into true essence, the non-disappearing vortex of spiritual energy can provide better defense and offense

Yuwang Honglian, aged 9. Honglian replied and took out ten essence stones from the essence stone bag, handing them to the service attendant

Hong Lian has a general understanding of the operation of the Capable Persons' Realm, which involves establishing the Capable Persons' Realm across the entire continent. It accepts entrusted tasks from others and discreetly publishes these tasks, allowing cultivators to take on and complete them. After completion, the Capable Persons' Realm provides a reward to the cultivators that is slightly lower than what the entrusting party offered. Thus, the capable individuals can sit here and enjoy free meals

Although this storage bag is somewhat old, it has a capacity of one cubic meter, and two hundred spirit stones is considered relatively inexpensive. You only need to drop your blood to recognize ownership in order to use it. This storage bag does not require the activation of true essence; once you recognize ownership with your blood, it can be controlled solely by your spiritual consciousness.

"Sure, I have sold all these magical treasures. How many essence stones are they worth?" Hong Lian was not surprised

Having gained experience, Honglian found it not difficult to control the rotation of the spiritual energy, and soon the vortex of spiritual energy reappeared. A long time passed, and suddenly, Honglian felt that something was amiss

How could a child without true essence possibly seize so many magical treasures

It has the effect of nurturing the foundation and solidifying the base. Some alchemical practitioners in the Golden Elixir stage, when their Golden Elixir is shattered, can utilize this elixir to repair the broken Golden Elixir

The Duobao Pavilion is the second largest trading venue within the Eastern Emperor City, where anything can be purchased as long as you desire it and can afford the price. Magical treasures, cultivation techniques, demon pills, miraculous elixirs, rare flowers and herbs, and even lives can be bought with money.

"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. I apologize for the rudeness of my assistant just now. I am the proprietor here. Are you in need of any magical artifacts?" Hong Lian turned around to see a smiling, portly cultivator standing at the counter. The young cultivator from earlier seemed to have been reprimanded, his head hanging low as he attended to other guests.

Hong Lian smiled bitterly, finding herself in a dilemma. At this moment, it was impossible to repair the spiritual energy barrier, and healing was also encountering difficulties. The injury could not heal, and the pores were blocked, which meant that the spiritual energy vortex could not be repaired, while the stagnation of blood further hindered the healing process. What should be done about this

There are some, the cheapest being two hundred fine stones, with an internal space of one cubic meter. The portly shopkeeper took out a bag resembling a money pouch from the counter.

Oh, so you are not hunting the black dragon because you lack money; you are deceiving me into going with you, aren't you

"I apologize, indeed we did not go hunting the black dragon for money, but purely for the thrill and excitement," Li Yi said apologetically

The red lotus compressed the vortex of spiritual energy, and the power of the compressed spiritual energy gradually increased. After reaching a certain level of compression, the vortex suddenly expanded, and the spiritual energy surged towards various parts of the body, flushing out the stagnant blood through the pores. The pores that had been blocked by the stagnant blood naturally became unblocked, and the red lotus felt a wave of comfort and relief.

Hong Lian put away the bag and paid two hundred essence stones at the third level demon pill trading post

Five days later, the external injury has healed, and there are no scars left on the wound. However, the clogged pores remain blocked due to the bruising, and the internal bruising is still present in the body

Hong Lian was wandering aimlessly on the third floor when she unexpectedly saw a black dragon demon core priced at 500,000 spirit stones. After some consideration, Hong Lian ultimately decided not to sell the black dragon demon core. Perhaps this black dragon demon core held special significance for her. Although it was worth 1,000 spirit stones, there are some things that cannot be bought for that amount. Hong Lian did not go anywhere else and directly exited the Treasure Pavilion

"No one is allowed to approach here without my consent," Hong Lian instructed the child before closing the door and sitting cross-legged on the bed

Hong Lian is not a hesitant person, and at this stage, he cannot afford to have a second choice. Hong Lian swallowed the Peiyuan Gujidan, and the pill melted upon entering his mouth. To Hong Lian's surprise, this Peiyuan Gujidan did not contain any medicinal power; instead, it was filled with spiritual energy. The spiritual energy continuously emanated from the pill, and Hong Lian quickly focused his mind, controlling the emitted spiritual energy to rotate.

Take the wound medicine given by King Yu of the Fire of the Sun at home, and take it. The pores and nose are opened, absorbing the not-so-abundant spiritual energy from the surroundings. The medicinal effect of the wound medicine is exerted, combined with the nourishment of the spiritual energy. The external injuries are healing at a visibly rapid pace.

This time when we came out, everyone at home has been feeling uneasy; it is time to return, otherwise those old men at home will issue a wanted notice. Moreover, we are all somewhat injured; the tornado that Hong Lian unleashed at the end must have caused significant harm. This is a Peiyuan Gujidan, Hong Lian, you take it, otherwise we will be restless, and it may even affect our cultivation and give rise to inner demons.

Under the guidance of Xiao Er, Hong Lian arrived at the house. The house was very simple, containing only a bed, a table, and a few chairs, with nothing else. Five essence stones a day was indeed an exorbitant price.

Hong Lian suddenly remembered that Ximen Yue had given him a Peiyuan Gujidan. Taking out the Peiyuan Gujidan, his thoughts raced: "This Peiyuan Gujidan should be able to stabilize the spiritual energy vortex. If I can re-establish the spiritual energy vortex, then these stagnant blood will be easier to deal with. I can directly force it out using the spiritual energy vortex. I just wonder if there are any other medicinal properties; impure medicinal properties could affect my cultivation."

Moreover, there are numerous external and internal injuries. The external injuries have directly blocked many pores, significantly reducing the absorption rate of spiritual energy. In order to repair the vortex of spiritual energy, it is essential to first heal both internal and external injuries, ensuring the smooth flow of spiritual energy and preventing any stagnation of blood within the body. Otherwise, any attempts at repair would be in vain.

This is 400 essence stones, please click on it. Is there anything else you need

You are truly lacking in character, and you are also a lewd man, not just seemingly so, the three of them said in unison.

"Alright, please wait a moment, I will bring you the refined stones right away." The portly shopkeeper turned and entered the inner room, and after a short while, he emerged with a bag of refined stones to hand over to Hong Lian

Hong Lian took a deep breath and walked towards the realm of the capable. In fact, although Hong Lian and Li Yi had only spent a brief day together, within that single day they experienced events that some people might never encounter in a lifetime

Esteemed guest, these treasures of yours must have been obtained through plunder, correct? We also acquire treasures obtained through such means, but the price will be somewhat lower.

Forget it, such a black flood dragon demon pill is only worth that little money, it is not worth our attention. The black flood dragon was hunted by you, so the demon pill naturally belongs to you. We have plenty of spirit stones, we would not stoop to hunting black flood dragons for money. The four of them surprisingly spoke in unison, each taking out a large bag of spirit stones and shaking them in front of Hong Lian.

Having undergone trials of life and death, they have forged an unbreakable bond, embodying both brotherhood and friendship. If Hong Lian were to shatter the jade talisman one day, they would undoubtedly rush to her side in the shortest time possible. Conversely, upon learning of their peril, Hong Lian would also go to their rescue

The shopkeeper does speak the truth; treasures that cannot be exposed to the light cannot be sold immediately. Generally, they need to be concealed and some tricks must be employed before they can be sold. Valuable items may even need to be taken to an auction house for bidding.

How much are all these magical treasures worth?" He tossed the magical treasures obtained on the way to Heijiao Valley onto the table.

"Brother Honglian, we really have to leave. Next time we meet, I will take you to my home and conveniently extort those old men a bit." Li Yi glanced at the sky and said

"Go away, who are you to ask? This place is originally for trading treasures, isn't your question pointless? I'm busy here." The young cultivator glanced at Hong Lian, noticing her tattered clothes and lackluster spirit, resembling a refugee, and waved his hand impatiently.

This is your credential for publishing and accepting tasks in the Realm of Capable Beings, so please take good care of it. When accepting a task, simply hold the jade token against the essence stone below the task you wish to accept, and the information will be transmitted to our headquarters. You will also need to use this jade token to receive your rewards upon completing the task. Moreover, this jade token is universally applicable in all the Realm of Capable Beings across the Eastern Continent.

Hong Lian walked out of the realm of the capable and headed towards the nearest relay station. The exhaustion of both body and mind could no longer be postponed

Hong Lian gazed at the sky, feeling a warmth tinged with sorrow, yet it evoked a sense of anticipation. Why is it that this feeling does not exist at home? Will we truly meet again? How can a mere one-day encounter leave such a sense of reluctance? Never mind, it is better not to think about it; if fate allows, we will meet again.

Because the nature of each person's true essence is different, recklessly consuming elixirs containing other attributes not only fails to aid in the repair of the golden core but also causes a conflict with the true essence. Therefore, the Essence Cultivation Pill contains spirit energy that has no attributes, allowing everyone to achieve the effect of repairing and cultivating their essence after consumption. This elixir can fetch a high price of one hundred thousand fine stones at the auction house, and it is in high demand yet scarce, making it a rare find.

"Miss, I would like to register, as I plan to take on tasks here." Hong Lian walked into the realm of capable individuals

Hong Lian entered the Treasure Pavilion, where the first floor housed magical artifacts, the second floor contained cultivation techniques, the third floor was dedicated to demon pills, the fourth floor featured elixirs and materials, and the fifth floor was reserved for special transactions

I never said I was ungrateful, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Why does it sound like I'm some kind of lecherous man with no character?" Nangong Hong felt frustrated

There are many people in the third layer, and demon pills are in high demand. It is no wonder, as the true essence within the demon pills can be refined and absorbed. The speed of refining demon pills to enhance cultivation is much faster than absorbing spiritual energy for training. Although the mixed true essence may affect future advancements, most cultivators still choose to refine demon pills to improve their cultivation.

"Well, I didn't expect that you little rascal still had a trick up your sleeve" the four of them exclaimed in unison

The Peiyuan Gujidan is an extremely rare elixir in the realm of cultivation, with a very difficult refining process and numerous restrictions.

The enthusiasm of the station attendant diminished significantly upon seeing the appearance of Honglian

Little brat, although I am a few years older than you, I feel that your temperament and cultivation do not match your age. As your elder sister, I must say this before we part ways: if you are cultivating alone, it is best not to reveal your strength and techniques until you have absolute power. If people in the cultivation world learn about your techniques, you will be labeled as a heretic. There may even be those who covet your techniques and plot against you, seeking to eliminate you before you have a chance to grow. We are about to leave, here, this is a communication jade talisman. In times of crisis, you can crush the talisman, and we will come to your aid. Although the four of us are far apart, we have special communication methods, and I will notify them to come together.

Hong Lian walked down the street, but her mind was occupied with thoughts: "I need to find a place to settle down. The spiritual vortex has collapsed and cannot be reformed; I must calm my mind and investigate further. If I delay too long, problems may arise. Now that I have the essence stone, I should first accomplish my purpose here by registering in the realm of the capable, and then I will look for a place to settle down."

A moment later, the waitress handed a small jade talisman to Hong Lian

The service attendant took the gemstone and glanced at Hong Lian, then performed a spell in front of a large recording jade talisman.

I have collected the demon core of the black serpent I hunted, but unfortunately, I did not have time to take the corpse. What do you think we should do with this demon core? How about selling it and sharing the proceeds? After all, I only want ten essence stones to register in the realm of the capable

This is fifty essence stones for ten days. Hong Lian did not argue with him and handed over fifty essence stones

The ignorant Honglian was unaware that Ximen Yue had given away such a precious elixir. As a result, the backgrounds of the four individuals, including Ximen Yue, became even more mysterious, as they carried such a valuable elixir with them and seemed unperturbed when giving it away.

Some relationships can become profound in a short period of time; time cannot diminish them. When their lives were threatened, Hong Lian and the others did not abandon anyone.

The red lotus, sitting cross-legged on the bed, calmed its mind to observe the condition of its own body, which was worse than it had imagined. The vortex of spiritual energy had completely collapsed, and the spiritual energy could no longer remain in the body for more than three seconds as it had at the beginning

The several cultivators beside who were looking at the magical treasures turned their heads and looked at Hong Lian as if she were a lunatic

After Hong Lian hunted down the black dragon, he could have safely escaped, but he did not; instead, he returned to help the other four out of their predicament. Isn't this what comrades do for each other?

The crimson eyes are somewhat moist, perhaps due to the strong wind; in fact, he knows that the wind is merely an excuse.

Five people went and five people returned, yet all five felt as if they had narrowly escaped death. Exhausted, they looked at each other and couldn't help but find it amusing

At the time of departure, there was an incredibly eager and spirited mindset, but upon returning, one was utterly exhausted and nearly lost their life, appearing disheveled and resembling a complete refugee. This stark contrast also made the five understand the importance of strength

Indeed, these items are of no use to Hong Lian, as magical treasures require the activation of true essence, and he does not possess any true essence; thus, they would only be a burden.

With the injury healed, Hong Lian became curious and controlled the vortex of spiritual energy to spin at high speed, exuding a powerful aura. After its release, it formed a spiritual energy shield that adhered to the surface of the body and would not dissipate unless actively controlled.

Well, it was our first time running away from home. Under special circumstances, we came together and eventually arrived at Donghuang City. We heard that Heijiao Valley is the most dangerous place near Donghuang City. Driven by our competitive spirit and curiosity, we decided to venture into Heijiao Valley together. However, we felt it would be safer with one more person, so we waited at the entrance of the Capable Ones' Heaven for a suitable candidate to appear. As you know, during our time in Heijiao Valley, we truly thought we had misjudged the situation, but unexpectedly, it was you who saved us in the end. " Nangong Hong rarely spoke so seriously.

"Sell, of course sell, these are of no use to me." Hong Lian thought without hesitation

Are you still regretting not having killed those four black dragons? If it weren't for Wang Yu's desperate strike, whether we could return would be in question. How you think is your own business; this favor, I, Xuanyuan Yuer, owe. In the future, if Wang Yu has any need of me, I will never hesitate

Xuanyuan Yuer: "Stop being so fussy, let's go, remember what I said." The four of them activated their magical artifacts and flew off in four different directions

The indomitable aura is indeed remarkable! The might of the domineering energy unleashed here is even greater than when it was released in the Black Flood Valley. A burst of white light filled the entire room, followed by the walls and ceiling disintegrating completely. The domineering energy also obliterated several nearby houses. The house where Honglian resided became the epicenter, leaving a desolate ruin within a radius of one hundred meters.

Hong Lian fled at high speed, unaware of how much she would have to compensate if caught by her boss. Accustomed to being poor, Hong Lian cherished the precious stones greatly and did not want to pay any compensation, so she unleashed her fastest speed in her life to escape.

There is no discomfort in the body, and the spiritual energy is quite normal. Indeed, it is too normal; after such a long time, the spiritual energy of the Peiyuan Gudi Pill has surprisingly remained in the body without dissipating.

The red lotus refined the elixir, and the spiritual energy within the body increased continuously, flowing into the vortex of spiritual energy, which transformed into a glowing platinum color. Its power surpassed even that of its peak period. On the tenth day, the red lotus completely refined the Foundation Establishment Pill.

My real name is Yu Wang Honglian, and Wang Yu is just a pseudonym I used for protection against you at that time. I apologize. Hearing them call her Wang Yu, Honglian felt a sense of guilt in her heart

"Excuse me, can I buy magical artifacts here?" Hong Lian arrived at the bottom counter
