3718 Even more sad



As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of a few stone houses. These stone houses were built against the mountain and were extremely simple and crude. It was obvious that they were built using the stone materials from the ruins of the heaven seeking sect.

"Alright, Chuxi. You should rest for a while. Mother will go and make something good for you. You must have missed the delicacies of Southern Xia after coming to the heaven domain. Mother will let you have a good meal today." Ling Chuxi said to her as soon as she entered the house.

"No need, mother. You should rest for a while too." Ling Chuxi looked around. Although this small stone house was clean and tidy, it was even more simple and crude than it looked on the outside. Other than a stone table and a few stone stools, there was nothing else. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a house with bare walls.

Thinking about how her mother, as the Ling family's young miss, had to wait in this poor and destitute place for 20 years, Ling Chuxi's eyes became a little wet again.

"I've already rested for so many years. I've had enough." Ling Fenghua said jokingly.

After hearing Ling Fenghua's words, Ling Chuxi's heart ached even more.

"You talk to grandma for a while, I'll be done soon." Ling Fenghua said as he walked towards another stone house.

"Mother, I'll go help you." It was not easy for Ling Chuxi to finally see her mother. She did not want to be separated from her mother for even a moment and quickly followed after her.

"No need, I can do it myself." Ling Fenghua pushed Ling Chuxi back.

"Little master, you should rest first. I'll go help the young lady." Ah an dragged Ling Chuxi to the stone table and quickly followed Ling Fenghua.

"That's right, Chuxi. You've forcefully suppressed your cultivation just now and lost too much of your Yuan Qi. Take this spirit pill first and recuperate properly." Dongfang Chenqing held Ling Chuxi's hand and stuffed a spiritual pill into her hand.

"Thank you, grandma." Although Ling Chuxi still had some spiritual pills left on her, she could not reject her grandmother's good intentions. She took the spiritual pill and swallowed it.

"You should cultivate and absorb the pill energy first to recuperate from your injuries. Grandmother will talk to you later." Dongfang Chenqing said to Ling Chuxi with a face full of concern.

"Yes." Ling Chuxi did not force him and closed her eyes to cultivate.

Just now, she was immersed in the joy and excitement of the mother and daughter reunion. Ling Chuxi did not feel anything strange. Only now did she realize that her whole body was empty and weak. She could not even summon up a bit of Yuan Qi.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it melted, and a pure pill power quickly rushed into his eight extraordinary meridians. It was obviously a high quality healing pill.

Under the nourishment of the pill energy, it was as if the dormant vital energy had been awakened, and it slowly flowed along his meridians. What surprised Ling Chuxi was that whether it was the strength or the speed of circulation of this Yuan Qi, it was much worse than before. It was not even one-tenth of what it was in the past. After weighing it, it was not even comparable to an ordinary Grandmaster.

"How did this happen?" Ling Chuxi was shocked, but she was afraid that her mother and grandmother would be worried, so she did not show it. She quietly focused her inner sight and checked the condition of her body.

Relying on the Phoenix's Nirvana fire and the self-healing effect of primordial Qi, the broken sea of Qi had basically recovered, and the cracked meridians had also recovered. However, the sea of Qi that was originally as vast as the ocean was now like a withered sea surface, and only less than one-third of the primordial Qi had been accumulated.

Ling Chuxi focused her heart and calmed her Qi to circulate her cultivation technique. The yuan Qi in her Qi sea rose rapidly, gradually rising like the sea's surface at high tide.

"I'm fine. I guess I've lost too much vitality just now, so I'm recovering slower than usual." Ling Chuxi thought that she had found the reason and her suspended heart calmed down. However, before her heart could return to her cultivation, the yuan Qi that had just been condensed quickly decreased again and quickly returned to its previous state.

The Qi sea at this moment was like a kettle with a hole, never filled with water.
