Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?
Chapter 670 - 612: Shared Goals
"Do you want more?"
Chicken Feather Gall held the White Lotus, asking with a troubled expression.
He dared not say more, nor dared he refuse.
The great figure opposite him was clearly someone whose cultivation he could only look up to, even his injuries were more peculiar than others’.
If possible, he truly didn’t want to suffer the pain of spirit backlash.
"Have you been feeling inflamed lately?"
Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was drastically different from her previous calm demeanor, asking inexplicably.
Chicken Feather Gall was puzzled but still nodded foolishly.
Not sure why, but people often asked him if he was inflamed.
Ling Wuce had asked, and Liu Zongyuan had asked too.
Upon self-reflection, it seemed ever since he took the pills, he truly felt inflamed, his saliva unnaturally thick.
Su Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale green instantly, with a feeling of something stuck in the throat, stomach churning, dry heaves a few times, but nothing came out.
Everyone present had strange expressions, as if they figured out something, their gazes at Su Xiaoxiao suddenly changed.
"Sir, healing is actually the priority."
Liu Zongyuan spoke awkwardly, he had experience with this, at first it was really gross, but after doing it more, it becomes like that.
When it really comes down to the critical moment, does saliva matter?
So a group of people looked at Liu Zongyuan with even stranger eyes.
Here was a real tough guy, being able to swallow without showing any change despite knowing the situation.
Just a moment ago, Liu Zongyuan had eaten as if nothing was wrong, which led Su Xiaoxiao to mistakenly believe it wasn’t saliva.
The Artifact Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness was already laughing miserably, never knew the pill from Chicken Feather Gall was this amusing before.
"Anyway, the stuff has already been eaten, refunds are not supported here, you can’t vomit it out, whether you heal or not, the Inquiry Stone still needs to be given."
Han Yu daringly reminded from the side, turning the faces of the people from Celestial Dao Sect green.
Now asking Su Xiaoxiao to eat it again, certainly he couldn’t stomach it, later only the group brought by Wang Xingzhi could be pulled out.
A certain cultivator, most severely injured, nearly half-dead, was to come forward.
When dealing with Su Xiaoxiao and others, Liu Zongyuan somewhat used persuasion, but for his own brothers, he directly force-fed.
Watching the cultivator struggle desperately, while Liu Zongyuan force-fed with White Lotus, it looked like a scene of punishment.
Leaving aside the disgusting aspect of saliva, Chicken Feather Gall’s ability was evident to all, as the cultivator who was nearly lifeless was revitalized.
With enough energy to finally struggle out of Liu Zongyuan’s grasp, his first move was to run aside and retch.
During this time, Liu Zongyuan had already picked the next lucky one.
"No, I’ll do it myself."
Eleven continuously waved his hand, having witnessed the fate of the one before, not knowing how much more had been force-fed.
Knowing his own injuries, if truly unavoidable, he’d rather do it himself, at least he could eat a bit less.
With a bitter face, he grabbed the White Lotus, then with eyes shut and mouth open, one pill after another, and gradually his aura grew stronger.
"So, should we still eat?"
A group beside Su Xiaoxiao whispered.
They saw the absurd healing ability with their own eyes, excluding the saliva part, calling this ability miraculous wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Yet truly eating it meant a difficult mental hurdle.
"But if we don’t eat, we can only run when we encounter Lei Wang and the others."
Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, carrying wounds, they would always be at a disadvantage facing Lei Wang’s group.
"Don’t forget why we came into Central Continent, if we don’t recover quickly, we might as well return to Endless Sea Domain."
These words were indeed true, if unable to recover to full strength, they would be perpetually chased by Lei Wang’s group, accomplishing nothing.
"If you eat first, I’ll follow suit."
The group eventually shifted the pressure onto Su Xiaoxiao.
As Su Xiaoxiao finally decided to lead the way in eating, Chicken Feather Gall was unable to continue.
"I can’t hold on anymore."
Calculating, he had continuously treated three people, his body constantly jumping between heavy injury and recovery, he couldn’t take much more.
Besides healing injuries, the primary purpose for Su Xiaoxiao’s group coming here was to search for the formation eye.
After Han Yu briefly explained, Quan Xiaotong had already brought people back to the Government Office hall.
A huge map had unwittingly been placed in the hall’s center, Han Yu remembered the last time leaving without seeing these items.
The map had over thirty spots marked in red with cinnabar.
"These are places where the formation feet have been activated."
Quan Xiaotong spoke with a face as solemn as water.
It was surprising there were so many already?
Han Yu looked at the scattered red circles on the map, for a moment felt quite moved.
Each time he returned, Quan Xiaotong hadn’t asked for his help, leading Han Yu to believe they were working hard to stabilize the situation. Unexpectedly, the situation had worsened to this degree.
"You alone can’t save all of Central Continent, and we likewise cannot save so many people."
Quan Xiaotong’s words coincidentally matched Su Xiaoxiao’s judgment.
Except Su Xiaoxiao spoke with more detachment as an observer while Quan Xiaotong had a fatigue beyond words.
Central Continent is vast but its downfall takes only a few days.
What can be more despairing than this?
Perhaps in the end, most of those barely surviving are cultivators?
In this man-made disaster, ordinary people were like lambs to the slaughter, even the simplest escape was impossible.
Conversely, cultivators could still manage to gain a reprieve during organized retreats.
"You’ve already done well."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the map, speaking slowly.
At such a moment, Central Continent was still able to unite, from the map, even at this critical time, Central Continent seems to still hold power over this land.
This was far beyond their expectations.
"You want to find the formation eye?"
Quan Xiaotong asked Su Xiaoxiao directly.
Regarding the formation eye, it was not just Su Xiaoxiao’s group making guesses, even Quan Xiaotong’s side had speculated.
Yet due to Quan Xiaotong’s fatigue, though they had ideas, they lacked the strength to put them into action.
With all of Central Continent turned into chaos, the primary goal of safeguarding Central Continent left them too occupied to manage other issues.
"Perhaps you disagree, but the best way to safeguard Central Continent is directly destroying the formation eye, not focusing on the gain and loss of cities."
Su Xiaoxiao stood before the map, shaking her head as she spoke.
Quan Xiaotong naturally knew this, but it also required a premise that Central Continent remained until the formation eye was found.
With Yama Hall’s methods, likely they’d lose Central Continent before finding the formation eye.
Given different stands, naturally their perspectives differed.
Su Xiaoxiao aimed at resisting Yama Hall, whereas he aimed at preserving Central Continent.
"The personnel from Celestial Dao Sect have gradually entered Central Continent, which should temporarily allow Central Continent to breathe."
This wasn’t Su Xiaoxiao’s speculation, rather with fewer remaining formation eyes, Celestial Dao Sect’s interceptions would be easier.
The upcoming battlefield is bound to be an open contest between Yama Hall and them.
"In some ways, our purpose aligns with Central Continent’s."
Celestial Dao Sect, due to its own needs, wouldn’t allow Yama Hall’s layout in Central Continent to succeed.
Central Continent, for self-preservation, likewise couldn’t let Yama Hall continue endless sacrifices.
