Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1704 - 1709: Wounds Hard to Heal

Roar!

With a startling roar, Little Seven darted into the Flowing Fire Sword.

Receiving a response from Little Seven, Xia Liu felt at ease as he entered the cave.

This was where the old man once lived.

He would need to retreat for a long time here.

If the old man passed by here, perhaps he would discover him.

"Hehe, perhaps I've always overthought, making myself appear dead to force me off the island. Even if you were among the crowd, perhaps you wouldn't want me to find you..."

Xia Liu chuckled foolishly.

He had understood this truth long ago.

Thinking that doing these things would move him.

But, perhaps it was all willingly done by himself.

If it were the old man's cultivation, maybe even a glance could annihilate the Beast King.

Is his absence due to being outside the Kunwu Realm?

Seeing himself so gravely injured, is it because he isn't in the Kunwu Realm and cannot witness it?

Maybe so...

Xia Liu had long arrived at an answer in his heart.

He didn't dig it up.

For fear of despairing himself.

Dragging his utterly exhausted body, Xia Liu reached the inner chamber.

He was very tired, very weary, and just wanted to fall into a deep, dark sleep.

But he knew he couldn't close his eyes, because closing them might mean never waking again.

The girls were still waiting for him in Osmanthus Village.

For their sake, how could he fall!

"Ah!"

A heart-wrenching roar.

Venting the injustice within, venting the pain within his soul.

Sitting cross-legged, Xia Liu took out a few Pill Restoring Pills, swallowing them down.

He suddenly threw the bottle containing the pills to the ground.

"Again! Again!"

Unable to absorb the spiritual energy from the Pill Restoring Pills, Xia Liu was near madness.

Just like last time!

After a while, Xia Liu bit down hard, enduring the pain, and circulated the Five Elements Mantra to absorb nature's spiritual energy.

As time passed.

Not knowing how much time elapsed, Xia Liu opened his eyes.

Glanced at the left side of his body.

There, layers upon layers of bandages were wrapped.

He dared not use Divine Sense to examine the situation within.

Because his cultivation was weak to a certain extent.

He couldn't use more Wooden Spirit Energy to heal.

Through the bandages, faint traces could be seen.

If carefully discerned, one could tell, those were the rib alignments!

In ten days, Xia Liu's spirits had somewhat recovered.

But only just somewhat.

Using the Scroll of Death, his Divine Sense had withered to the tenth level of Qi Cultivation.

After the residual power had swept through, the power of his Divine Sense was only around the sixth level of Qi Cultivation realm.

If even Divine Sense couldn't be used, then he simply couldn't reach the Mountain of Dao.

This time, it was truly a tragedy!

The jade bottle thrown to the ground had been picked up.

At that time, venting his anger, Xia Liu couldn't care about so much.

Now he just wanted to quickly regain his peak strength.

Only with top-level strength could he drive the second-tier Wood Origin.

Thinking, thinking, Xia Liu once again entered into a cultivation state.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

Compared to ten days ago, his lips began to gain some color.

Not so pale, but still like a critically ill person.

His mental state improved slightly.

Ten days hadn't given him a major recovery.

The pain lingered still.

He checked the various spiritual medicines in the Storage Ring.

After careful consideration.

He took out a few spiritual medicines.

Ready to swallow raw.

The body's inability to digest the power of the Pills was because the medicinal properties of the Pills were too gentle.

Although more effective.

But the inability to absorb was a big problem.

Xia Liu wanted to try using the most fundamental spiritual medicine to stimulate his tired body.

Gulp.

After chewing the spiritual medicine into a liquid state, he swallowed it whole.

Ssssss...

As the spiritual medicine entered his belly, Xia Liu immediately felt a rush of heat.

Effective!

Upon discovery, Xia Liu was excited.

This way, his recovery speed could be somewhat faster!

After ten days, Xia Liu walked out of the cave.

His complexion had returned to normal.

But his energy and blood were still insufficient.

During these ten days.

He spent five days researching how to make his body accept external assistance.

Unfortunately, after five days of swallowing spiritual medicine, there was no significant effect.

This was because his body had gradually become desensitized to the effects of the spiritual medicine.

Sigh...

He hadn't yielded any results from the research.

Xia Liu sighed and reluctantly walked out of the cave to take a breath of fresh air.

When he held the Flowing Fire Sword in his hand.

Suddenly a Divine Sense stretched from the foot of the Mountain of Dao.

Xia Liu instantly concentrated, but soon relaxed.

Because it was a familiar Divine Sense. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

A few minutes later, the owner of the Divine Sense arrived.

"I have finally found you, Daoist Xia..."

Qingdie's eyes held a layer of frosty mist, yet she didn't let Xia Liu see it.

Bowing down, catching her breath heavily.

"Miss, how did you find this place?"

Xia Liu didn't have the energy to scold her, nor did he want to say those meaningless words.

Just wanted to know if his whereabouts had been exposed to everyone.

"Elder Li Dao told me..."

"For no reason, why would he tell you about the Mountain of Dao's location?"

Xia Liu's eyes flickered with a hint of a killing intent.

With his current vulnerability.

Li Dao revealing this place, did he want him dead here?

"No no, Elder Li Dao didn't want to say initially, it was because of me."

Feeling the rising intent of killing from Xia Liu, Qingdie quickly explained.

"Hmm, what's the matter?"

"I told him I was your wife, and at times like this, I must come to take care of you, so Elder Li Dao vaguely mentioned this place..."

...

My wife...

Xia Liu looked at Qingdie, and smiled helplessly.

"Daoist Xia, rest assured, when I came, I disguised myself, and didn't reveal my aura before people..."

"Mm, it's okay, what is your purpose in finding me? I've merely become a cripple."

Yes, now he was a cripple, perhaps couldn't even kill a chicken.

"You've done so much for us, I wanted to come take care of you."

After a silence, Qingdie said seriously.

"No need to trouble yourself, I'm not as weak as you think..."

"Is that so, then try jumping for me."

...

Xia Liu closed his mouth.

He could jump now, but if it tugged at the wound, it was a fate worse than death.

"You've endured so much, coupled with severe injuries, can't you let someone care for you properly?"

Qingdie continued, "You want to shoulder everything, but do you know, we're willing to bear it with you?"

"Yes, I understand your sentiments, but..."

"Enough of the useless words, I'm not expecting anything from you, I just don't want to see you suffering, let me stay and care for you."

Qingdie said somewhat forcefully.

Because Xia Liu couldn't operate now, she was emboldened to speak this way.

In the past, she wouldn't have dared to say it.

A single Divine Sense from Xia Liu would render her immobile.

"Thank you."

Putting down both the Master of Dao Primordial and the Lord of the Western Region personas, letting go of everything, Xia Liu offered a weak word of thanks.
