Chapter 231 Extra - Rest and Recuperation (2/2)

The two trekked quickly through the rugged mountain forest.

Finally, Yan Yu stopped in front of a cliff face hidden by the roots of a huge ancient tree and dense vines.

He pushed aside the thick vines, revealing a dark cave entrance.

The cave entrance is small, only allowing one person to pass through at a time, but the location is extremely well hidden.

Once inside the cave, cut off from all outside influences, Ruan Tang couldn't wait any longer.

She leaned against Yan Yu's chest, a thought suddenly occurring to her.

"Brother, let's go inside."

The next second, she grabbed Yan Yu and disappeared into the cave.

Almost the instant I stepped into the space, a long-lost, ecstatic atmosphere of joy washed over me.

"hold head high--!"

A dragon's roar that shook the heavens and the earth came from the depths of the distant mountains.

The long-dormant black Qilin suddenly stood up, roared to the sky, and its dark scales, nourished by rich spiritual energy, shimmered with a deep metallic luster.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent streak of azure light pierced the sky.

The blue phoenix spread its magnificent wings and soared through the air, its clear cry filled with the joy of rebirth, echoing through the heavens.

In the spirit lake, a huge spray of water suddenly exploded.

The mermaid leaped out of the water, her silver tail flicking out a string of glistening water droplets in the sunlight, and her ethereal and melodious singing voice followed, filled with endless joy.

The Celestial Wind Falcon, perched on the sacred tree, opened its sharp eyes and excitedly flapped its wings, creating gusts of strong wind.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

A white figure darted over like lightning and pounced into Ruan Tang's arms.

Little White rubbed its fluffy head against her chin frantically, and still not satisfied, it cupped her cheeks with its two little paws, its dark purple eyes wide open, examining her carefully, and making anxious cries.

It breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that its owner was alright. Then it turned its head and squeaked twice at the tall Yan Yu beside it, its little paws on its hips, looking like it was questioning, "How did you take care of my owner?"

Looking at this home that has been revitalized, and feeling the joy emanating from every contracted spirit beast, Ruan Tang's restless heart finally settled down.

This is where her roots lie.

She pulled Yan Yu along and headed straight for the spiritual spring shrouded in thick white mist.

"Brother, why don't you go in and take a soak?"

She tilted her small, pale face up, her expression earnest, and tiptoed to gently poke his firm chest with her delicate fingertips.

“We have just established our foundation and our foundation is unstable. The spiritual spring can help you cleanse your body and consolidate your cultivation.”

Her tone was soft and gentle, yet it carried an undeniable firmness.

"In this world, only by establishing a foundation can one truly embark on the path of cultivation. The better the foundation one has, the further one can go in the future."

Yan Yu looked down at her pale face and surprisingly bright eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"And you?" he asked in a low, hoarse voice.

Ruan Tang shook her head, a slight smile curving her lips, revealing a hint of cunning.

"My body is tough now, I've soaked in plenty of water before."

Yan Yu didn't say anything more, gave her a deep look, and followed her instructions to enter the spiritual spring.

The moment the warm, energy-rich spring water enveloped his body, his tense muscles finally relaxed completely, and he let out a satisfied sigh.

The hideous wounds left by the lightning tribulation are healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The wild power that had just awakened within him was gently tamed and subdued, completely merging into his limbs and bones.

Seeing Yan Yu close his eyes and regulate his breathing, his aura gradually stabilizing, Ruan Tang quietly turned around and found the puppet granny who was tidying up the spirit field in the distance.

She walked over and spoke softly.

"Grandma, thank you for your hard work in making some robes for my brother."

"Yes, Master."

After watching her mother-in-law enter the storage room, Ruan Tang sat cross-legged by the spiritual spring, watching Yan Yu as she began to regulate her breathing to stabilize her cultivation. (This chapter has been read. Please click the next chapter to continue reading!)
