Chapter 4091 The Grace of Reconstruction
After boiling the dragon bone and the leaves of the swirling wood together, the resulting water turned a strange blue color. I used a little bit of my icy power to cool the water down, then pried open the slovenly Taoist's mouth and poured it all into his mouth.
Perhaps he was being forced to drink too quickly, because the slovenly Taoist priest choked a couple of times and kept coughing.
This immediately woke the disheveled Taoist priest, who looked like he'd just eaten poop: "What is this...? It tastes awful..."
"Brother Luo, you're awake. I peed in the pot for you..." Little Fatty suddenly blurted out.
Upon hearing this, the slovenly Taoist priest became completely alert, covered his mouth, and gagged as if he was about to vomit.
"Old Luo, Old Luo, don't listen to Little Fatty's nonsense. What I gave you is medicine to heal your wounds, made from the leaves of the 'Zhaoyaomu' tree. Please don't spit it out, it'll be a waste." I quickly grabbed the slovenly Taoist priest.
As I was speaking, I also kicked the chubby boy, but he ran fast and I missed.
The slovenly Taoist priest then covered his mouth, swallowing back the medicine that was already in his throat.
At this moment, I noticed that the disheveled Taoist seemed to have regained his strength. He moved his hands and feet and said with some surprise, "You know what, after drinking this medicinal soup, I feel warm all over, the spiritual energy in my dantian is rapidly gathering, and my injuries don't hurt as much as before."
"Can you walk around?" I asked.
The slovenly Taoist priest brushed my hand away, tried to take two steps forward, and seemed to be fine.
"That's good, that's good. He just drank the medicine, so the effects haven't fully kicked in yet. I estimate that in a little while, Xiao Luo will be able to move around freely. Not only will his injuries have healed considerably, but his cultivation level will also improve somewhat," Zhang Qing'an said with a smile.
“Let’s leave here first, in case those people from the Pierced-Chest Kingdom come after us,” Kassan suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and we then hurried westward.
However, before leaving, I retrieved the Blood Orb. The little dwarf had been completely drained by the Blood Orb, and Kassan even went up and finished it off with a sword strike.
At first, the slovenly Taoist priest couldn't keep up, but after more than ten minutes, I saw him sweating profusely, as if a bucket of hot water had been poured over his head. He moved quickly, and it seemed that his injuries had healed by more than half. It seems that the medicinal effects of the leaves of this swan tree are really strong.
As we walked, the disheveled Taoist priest asked me what had just happened. He explained that he had fainted shortly after I used a wind escape talisman to take him away from the swaying tree, and he didn't know anything after that.
So I briefly told him what happened after he fainted. The slovenly Taoist priest was shocked. He never expected that so many things would happen after he fainted, and that we almost lost our lives.
However, we've always been lucky, and these things were all within my control.
Before that little dwarf arrived, I had already notified Brother Gu and the others to come and provide backup.
Twenty minutes later, the slovenly Taoist priest's injuries were completely healed; the leaves of the swaying tree were indeed magical.
Afterwards, our group activated the Divine Speed Technique and quickly headed towards the border of the Piercing Chest Kingdom.
The journey here was very difficult, but the journey there was much easier.
At least we know where the danger is and where it's safe, and we can avoid those areas.
We traveled quickly, leaving the mountains and forests behind, and then passed through several villages and towns without daring to stop for even a moment.
They walked from darkness to dawn, and then from dawn to darkness, heading west.
After walking for a long time, at least two or three hundred miles away from Zhaoyao Mountain, we finally stopped in a very remote place to rest.
At that moment, I suddenly remembered something. The little dwarf and his group of experts found us very easily, probably by following the bloodstains of the slovenly Taoist priest or by some other means.
Perhaps those masters on Mount Zhaoyao can still find us using this method.
I shared my concerns with everyone, and Master Zhiqing immediately frowned. He took out a golden talisman from his person and handed it to the disheveled Taoist: "Keep this on your person. This is a talisman for concealing your aura, refined by Master Chongling of Longhu Mountain. He is one of the three masters of talismans, and this talisman will surely be able to conceal your aura."
The disheveled Taoist priest's eyes lit up the moment he saw the golden talisman. How could he refuse it? He quickly took the golden talisman, inquired about the method used by the True Man of Pure Purity, and placed it directly against his chest.
With this talisman that conceals our presence, we have another concern.
At this moment, Master Zhiqing opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. I quickly understood what he was thinking.
He definitely wanted to ask if we had managed to get our hands on the Flaming Wood, since that was our real purpose in coming to the Fire Domain.
Just now, I was so focused on fighting that little dwarf that I didn't have a chance to ask him anything. Now, I can take advantage of this break to ask him properly.
"Master Zhiqing, are you asking if you've gotten your hands on that 'Swish Wood'?" I asked him with a smile.
Master Zhiqing nodded, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Seeing you all go to such lengths for Chao'er, almost dying, I'm really embarrassed to ask about this."
“Master Zhiqing, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We’ve already got our hands on the Zhaoyao Wood, and I’ll show it to you now.”
As I spoke, I took out the piece of the swirling wood from the Dragon-Tiger Mirror. It was blood red all over, as if it had been soaked in blood.
When I took out the swaying wood, everyone curiously gathered around and examined it closely.
"This is the legendary 'Swish Wood,' is this for real?" Master Zhiqing asked, somewhat uneasy.
“There’s no mistake. This piece of wood is at the very top of the Zhuoyao Wood, and it’s the most special piece. I heard that you need to take its heartwood to help someone rebuild their spiritual body. We learned about this from that prince of Guanxiong Kingdom,” I said with a smile.
Master Zhiqing took the heartwood of the swirling wood from my hand, his hands trembling with excitement: "For so many years, I have been traveling all over China with Chao'er, and today I have finally found a way to help Chao'er restore his Dharma body..."
Li Chao also looked at the fluttering wooden pole, his expression excited.
A moment later, Master Zhiqing turned to Li Chao and said solemnly, "Chao'er, Young Friend Luo and Young Friend Wu risked their lives to find the Zhaoyao Wood for you. This is a life-saving grace. You should kneel down and kowtow to them immediately."
Li Chao paused for a moment, but still walked towards us.
