Chapter 464 Spirit-Void True Water (Spiritual Object)
"Unfortunately, I only possess a single Golden Core right now. Once I recover from my injuries, I must..."
At this point, Lior noticed Eldrin and Kael growing increasingly silent, and couldn't help but sense something was amiss.
He couldn't help but hesitate slightly before asking uncertainly, "Has your Aunt Qingwan been injured?"
"Still..."
Eldrin fell silent, while Kael standing beside him also remained wordless.
Lior watched silently, ultimately falling into silence as well.
Sometimes, a wordless silence speaks volumes.
After a long while, Lior (Person Name) absorbed the Nirvana Pill, quietly drawing upon its nirvanic power.
"Who did this?"
Blue Flood Dragon...
Eldrin emerged from his secluded cultivation chamber and strode toward the estate of Chen Ethan.
For the Chen Family, the cost of this battle was unprecedented. Not only was Lior's physical form destroyed, but even the exceptionally gifted Chen Ethan was brought to the brink of death.
At this moment, Ethan (Person Name) sat cross-legged within the spiritual pool, his body covered in fissures, clinging to life solely by a surge of vital energy and magic power.
The 1 tasked with caring for Chen Ethan (Person Name) was Chen Seraphina (Person Name). Watching Eldrin (Person Name) approach, she whispered from the side, "His meridians are nearly shattered inch by inch. Even after taking the Yang-Returning Calamity-Dispelling Pill (Spiritual Object), the injuries cannot be fully suppressed."
It was only through the clan leader personally employing his Golden Core, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) magic power, supplemented by the Yang-Returning Calamity-Dispelling Pill (Spiritual Object), that the injuries were barely stabilized.
Eldrin nodded, then activated his mystic eye to examine Chen Ethan's injuries. He discovered that the water and fire spiritual energies within Chen Ethan's body were entangled and clashing, relentlessly corroding his physical form.
After observing for a long while, he furrowed his brows and remarked, "Defying spiritual root conflicts, he forcibly unleashed the combined power of dual swords, erupting with combat prowess at the Golden Core realm."
"By channeling spiritual power in this manner, his combat prowess surged dramatically, yet it rendered him unable to properly control the opposing water and fire energies within his body."
Under such circumstances, the only way for him to fully recover was to rely on sheer willpower to subdue the conflicting spiritual energy, thus emerging transformed like a butterfly breaking free from its chrysalis.
"At this point, all we can do is stabilize his injuries."
The old clan leader nearby nodded, yet smiled bitterly as he said, “Ethan’s injuries will continue to flare up. I fear that relying solely on the Yang-Returning Calamity-Dispelling Pill will still be far from enough to suppress them.”
"To suppress the injury, there is indeed a way." Eldrin pondered briefly before speaking, "In the Qi Kingdom, Mo the Ancient 1 possesses a 'Spirit-Void True Water' capable of healing Golden Core Realm injuries."
"This item, when used in conjunction with the Yang-Returning Calamity-Dispelling Pill (Spiritual Object), should stabilize Ethan (Person Name)'s injuries. As for whether it can ultimately harmonize his spiritual energy, that will depend entirely on his own efforts."
The old clan leader’s expression shifted slightly, but he continued, “As for what happened back then, we did have some unresolved grievances with Elder Mo.”
"I have observed that Mo the Ancient 1 is not a petty individual." Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly before he spoke. "The karmic ties from back then were exceedingly complex, and it's difficult to judge who was right or wrong. This matter might serve as an opportunity to resolve our grievances."
"Very well, I shall swallow my pride and make the journey."
In order to obtain the Spirit-Void True Water (Spiritual Object), Eldrin (Person Name) resolved to personally journey to the Qi Kingdom (Location).
Aboard the Refining Demons Immortal Sword, he soared across the heavens, traversing a million miles in a single day. In merely 2 days, he reached the sacred dao arena of Mo the Ancient 1.
With Eldrin's current level of strength, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would have to take him seriously. Although the Inky Daoist was also a Golden Core Perfection cultivator, he still fell considerably short.
Watching Eldrin arrive, he personally welcomed Eldrin into the grand hall.
After the 2 had taken their seats, Mo the Ancient 1 spoke, "Fellow Daoist, what matter brings you to my Verdant Ink Mountain today?"
"I have come for the Spirit-Void True Water (Spiritual Object)."
Eldrin (Person Name) didn't engage in excessive pleasantries and spoke straightforwardly.
The Ancient 1 Mo's eyes flickered slightly. The Spirit-Void True Water was not an innate true water, but rather a precious spiritual medicine.
This elixir was concocted by gathering over a 100 rare spiritual herbs and fusing them with fourth-order spiritual water. A single sip could heal the injuries of a Golden Core cultivator.
Moreover, this spirit herb possesses an extremely mild nature. Despite its high grade as a top-tier Rank 4 medicinal plant, even Zifu-stage cultivators can utilize it for healing.
Seeing Eldrin seek the Spirit-Void True Water, Mo the Ancient 1 immediately understood that a key figure of the Chen family had suffered grave injuries.
"Back in the day, though I had conflicts with the Chen Clan, our grievances have long been resolved. Only some lingering reservations remain between us."
"Now that Eldrin has soared to prominence, he likely possesses the aptitude of a peerless True Monarch. To remain estranged from him would be sheer folly."
"Seizing this chance to completely resolve the lingering resentment and forge a connection with him would be far wiser."
At that thought, Eldrin (Person Name) stroked his beard and said, "Agreed."
Mo the Ancient 1 said as he handed a vial of True Water to Eldrin.
Eldrin (Person Name) cast a glance before shaking his head and saying, "My nephew's injuries are rather peculiar—I fear they cannot be healed in a short time. Do you still have any in your possession?"
"Although this Spirit-Void True Water (Spiritual Object) possesses extraordinary miraculous uses, the rare spiritual herbs required for it are exceedingly uncommon. Thus, I only have 1 vial remaining in my possession."
Mo the Ancient 1 (Person Name) pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and said, "However, if you can provide the spiritual herbs, I might refine it for you free of charge."
"Many thanks." Eldrin cupped his hands in salute and asked, "Might I inquire what compensation you seek?"
"There is no need for payment," Mo the Ancient 1 (Person Name) smiled faintly before continuing, "Everyone faces moments of difficulty. Should I encounter hardship in the future, I may seek your assistance."
"Agreed."
Eldrin nodded slightly. After all, Mo the Ancient 1 had formed a mid-grade Golden Core—there remained a possibility he could break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future.
This individual was the first to arrive in support during the great battle at the Demonic Ape Mountain, which ultimately helped the Chen Family catch their breath. Otherwise, greater casualties might have been unavoidable.
After purchasing the Spirit-Void True Water (Spiritual Object) from Mo the Ancient 1 (Person Name) and commissioning him to refine this elixir, Eldrin (Person Name) returned to the Chu Kingdom (Location).
The old clan leader saw him and asked, "How did it go?"
"It's been taken care of."
Eldrin spoke as he retrieved the Spirit-Void True Water (Spiritual Object) and handed it to the old clan leader, then recounted the entire matter to him.
After listening, the Old Clan Leader nodded. The 2 of them entered Ethan Chen’s secluded cultivation chamber and fed him the Spirit-Void True Water.
After taking this medicine, the injuries within Ethan Chen's body truly began to improve, no longer posing any risk of deterioration.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. The old clan leader spoke with mixed emotions, "His injuries have stabilized. Whether this lad achieves anything remarkable now depends entirely on his fortune."
"Hmm."
Eldrin nodded slightly. Chen Ethan possessed truly exceptional talent, and his cultivation technique derivation was nearly complete. If he could survive this tribulation, forming a superior-grade Golden Core would be almost certain.
Moreover, after this tempering, the purity of his magic power and his willpower would far surpass those of ordinary individuals, even exceeding Lila, who also possessed a superior-grade Golden Core, by a small margin.
The 2 emerged from the seclusion chamber. Eldrin immediately mounted his sword and soared toward Spirit Lake Continent, then teleported via formation to Lotus Sanctum Continent.
Within the Azure Lotus Continent, he found Lyra (Person Name), who was currently refining a golden immortal sword.
This sword was none other than the lifebound immortal sword of the Golden Rhino Demonic Empress. Such divine blades possess a lifebound artifact spirit, whose sentience is nearly indistinguishable from that of ordinary humans, making it exceptionally difficult to earn its acknowledgment.
Lyra had no intention of earning its acknowledgment. Instead, she resolved to refine this immortal sword by force, wielding power comparable to that of an Infant Soul cultivator.
