Not mentioning the loss, just talking about the two internal injuries, it's probably not going to be easy to recover from them in a short while. If one is not careful, it's easy to form hidden diseases, which will have a huge impact on future cultivation!

  But for now, it's not the time to think about this, Lin Qingyao glanced at Liu Ling.

  Now, Liu Ling has lost her former lovely and lively appearance. Her body is a mess, that antique silk skirt was cut to shreds, with bloodstains all over it.

  Lin Qingyao didn't see her own appearance, but thinking about it, she probably wouldn't look much better than Liu Ling either.

  Two people can't just go back like this, if they appear in school like this and are seen by others, they will probably be questioned.

  If it were usual, the two of them could have used an illusion to deceive those ordinary people, but now? Not to mention illusions, the two of them couldn't muster up a single thread of spiritual energy!

  Lin Qingyao thought of a good place to go, she looked around and figured it shouldn't be far from there, so she pulled Liu Ling along, stumbling as they went.

  They turned to a nearby cliff, where there was a small cluster of shrubs, and behind them were twining vines. These vines were somewhat yellowish but always green. Lin Qingyao pulled open the small entrance and took Liu Ling inside.

  Before long, the field of vision in front of the two people opened up.

  Liu Ling saw the cold spring and her eyes lit up: "Junior sister, there's actually such a great place here!"

  "Come on, sit down and recover your spiritual energy quickly, then wash up clean. We have to get back to school as soon as possible, it's almost daylight!"

  "I don't want to sit down first, I want to wash clean first!" Liu Ling said with a pout.

  Lin Qingyao's forehead throbbed with a blue vein, and she said in a low voice: "No one knows if that blood clan has any accomplices. If there really are accomplices who know that their companion is dead, then even if you dress up beautifully, without a single thread of spiritual power, it's useless!"

  Having said that, Lin Qingyao continued with a fiery tone: "Even if we escape, it's all just a burden!"

  Liu Ling was once again scolded by Lin Qingyao, and thinking of her recent experience, tears welled up in her eyes.

  When did she ever suffer such a great loss? If it weren't for her mother giving her that talisman, I'm afraid her life would have been lost there. The battle was smooth and swift, but the danger in it also made people fearful.

  Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ling like this and sighed, comforting her: "I said something too heavy, don't cry."

  Undoubtedly, Lin Qingyao had some resentment towards Liu Ling, because in Lin Qingyao's heart, if it wasn't for Liu Ling's reckless behavior, she wouldn't have encountered such a great danger.

  But in Lin Qingyao's heart, after that battle, her impression of Liu Ling had improved a lot, and the resentment had almost dissipated. In the battle, although Liu Ling was inexperienced, he didn't hold back at all, and towards her, he was also sincerely protective.

  Such a person may be a bit naive and often gets into trouble, but if they grow up, they will definitely become someone who values loyalty and is worth befriending.

  Lin Qingyao said in a low voice, Liu Ling, it's not that she's resentful, but there's a feeling of being disappointed and unappreciated. She just suffered such a great loss, how could she still not learn from her mistakes?

  Although Liu Ling's cultivation was higher than Lin Qingyao's, Liu Ling was really too inexperienced in the ways of the world. To Lin Qingyao, she seemed like her own younger sister or even daughter, which is why she had spoken those words filled with anger.

  Liu Ling sniffled and wiped away her tears, looking pitifully at Lin Qingyao before finally saying: "Shi...shi mei...I'm sorry."

  "It's all my fault... If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have dragged my sister down with me..." Liu Ling said in a low voice, her two hands twisting together, looking as pitiful as possible.

  Lin Qingyao also found it hard to calm down after seeing this scene, and sighed: "This matter can't be blamed entirely on you. This damned blood clan is right above the school's rear mountain, so close to us. Even if we don't provoke him, he might still target us!"

  Lin Qingyao said that this is indeed the truth, didn't that female blood clan member named Diniya actively attack Old Song and Xiao Xiang back then? It seems that the blood of a cultivator has a kind of temptation for blood clans.

  It's hard to say which day that blood clan really locked onto her! Now the two of them joined forces and took care of him, it can't be considered a completely bad thing.

  Liu Ling wiped away her tears and held back the ones that were still about to fall, saying seriously: "Junior sister, you're right. I should meditate to recover my spiritual energy first."

  Lin Qingyao was taken aback and lost her smile. This Liu Ling, sometimes he's really infuriating, but as a person, he's actually not bad. An average cultivator would have been enraged by now if they were lectured by someone of a lower rank than themselves. Who would reflect on their own actions?

  This Liu Ling is indeed a special one, I'm not afraid of her making mistakes, what I fear is that she will die without knowing how to repent!

  Moreover, this Liu Ling is not a foolish person by nature, and it's likely that he has been spoiled by others.

  From the same things she used to fight, Lin Qingyao could guess that this Liu Ling was absolutely not an ordinary cultivator, either from a big family or from a big sect!

  And it must be that kind of core disciple!

  It's no wonder that Liu Ling, who is not very old, has already achieved the eighth layer of Qi refinement. His innate talent must be extraordinary! A cultivator like him would be a treasure in any sect.

  Lin Qingyao thought so, and indeed, Liu Ling was not only exceptionally talented, but also had an extraordinary background.

  Lin Qingyao took out a Nourishing Qi Pill from her storage bag, put it in her mouth, and slowly urged the pill to transform into a gentle stream of spiritual energy that flowed into her body, nourishing her already withered and dry spiritual veins.

  "Ah..." Lin Qingyao softly hummed, her meridians had already been impacted by the spiritual elixir that Liu Ling had brought back last time, and were now covered in dense, tiny wounds.

  These minor injuries are scattered throughout the meridians, causing Lin Qingyao's meridians to suffer no small amount of damage. From now on, she will have to cultivate diligently to recover.

  Lin Qingyao didn't know that the Bu Yuan Dan in Liu Ling's hand was not an ordinary Bu Yuan Dan, but a kind of dan medicine between Bu Yuan Dan and Bao Ling Dan. The so-called Bao Ling Dan is a kind of dan medicine that can provide a large amount of spiritual power in an instant.

  Its speed is much faster than Bu Yuandan, and the spiritual power it provides is also more powerful. The consequences are also very obvious...

  It's already very hard to find a truly pure and harmless Bu Yuan Dan on the market nowadays.

  The materials for refining the Bu Yuan Dan were already hard to find, so another kind was used instead. The medicinal power of this other kind was even stronger and harder to control, a divine medicine that was difficult to master, and thus this kind of dan drug that harmed both others and oneself was created.

  Even if this Bu Yuan Dan is harmful, it still makes many cultivators flock to it. In the market, it's very hard to buy one, occasionally a bottle will be leaked from the Dà Mén Pài, and many cultivators will fight to get it, even to the point of breaking their heads.

  After the battle, Bu Yuan Dan is life! Even if such a Bu Yuan Dan will harm oneself, it's still better than having nothing at all and waiting for death at critical moments.

  If a person is given the choice between being injured and dying, I suppose no one would choose to die. No matter how severe the injury, even if the meridians are damaged, as long as life remains, everything is possible! If life is gone, then nothing is left!

  Although it is said that now the monks are more precious than their lives, they rarely fight, but there will always be some disputes. Everyone wants to keep some for themselves! So this Bu Yuan Dan is now a treasure in the market, like a moon surrounded by stars.

  Liu Ling took out these Bu Yuan Dan one by one as if they were worthless, it was simply extravagant!

  Lin Qingyao absorbed a Replenishing Pellet and recovered half of her spiritual power before opening her eyes. The feeling of her spiritual power being drained was really unbearable, the sense of weakness made her fearful!

  With her spiritual power, she finally felt a little more at ease.

  Now that her meridians are damaged, she can't recover all of her spiritual power in a short time. If she did, the damaged meridians would probably be unable to withstand it.

  Lin Qingyao smiled helplessly, her current strength had been halved for no reason, and she needed to find a spiritual medicine that could repair her spiritual veins as soon as possible! Otherwise, relying on self-healing, it would take until the monkey year and horse month to recover, and even then, the recovery wouldn't be thorough.

  If it were that easy to recover from injuries on the meridians, there wouldn't be so many cultivators stuck in their cultivation because of hidden internal injuries on the meridians!

  Lin Qingyao was very clear in her mind that the external injuries on her body were nothing to worry about, and she would recover from them in a few days. However, the injury to her meridians was a different matter altogether - if not handled properly, it could affect her entire cultivation path!

  If this were to happen to someone else, they would probably be worried to death. Lin Qingyao was worried in her heart, but she wasn't overly pessimistic.

  Space... She still has space to hope for, even if it's just a sprout, even if it's just a seed. As long as she can find the spiritual medicine that can repair her dark wounds, she can heal her own injuries!

  Thinking of space, her heart was at peace.

  Liu Ling, who was beside her, was also seriously injured. However, Liu Ling's rigorous training since childhood had made her body and meridians extremely strong, far surpassing Lin Qingyao's. As a result, she recovered one more layer of spiritual power than Lin Qingyao, regaining six layers of spiritual power before opening her eyes.

  The two of them both went into the water and washed up a bit.

  Although a simple dust removal technique can make two people clean, after all, it is a woman who in most cases would rather wash her hands personally and is unwilling to use the dust removal technique.

  At this point, Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling have a certain commonality. In Lin Qingyao's heart, she has been stained with a lot of bat blood. If it is not washed clean, but only uses the dust removal technique, her heart is still awkward.

  After washing and drying, the problem came. Lin Qingyao had completely forgotten to put clothes in her storage bag. The clothes she had worn during the battle, Lin Qingyao looked at them, they were just washed and dried, and wearing them on her body was no different from a beggar's clothes...

  Liu Lingli's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "Junior sister, you don't have any clothes to wear, do you? I have a set of clothes here. If you're not too proud, you can put them on..."
