Chapter 175 Chase and Severe Injury (Please Subscribe!)
Kuang Qinglu underestimated Shi Ningyu's strength, or more precisely, she underestimated Lu Chengan's strength.

She hadn't expected that the helper Shi Ningyu had found would possess such formidable strength, even when severely injured, still able to unleash such formidable combat power.

But this is her best chance. If she can't kill Shi Ningyu now, it will be even more difficult for her to kill them once they recover.

Luo Yuanqi understood this as well, so when he heard that Kuang Qinglu wanted to continue chasing Shi Ningyu and the other person, he agreed without any hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, how are you doing now?" Lu Cheng'an asked with some concern, looking at Shi Ningyu's pale face.

"My injuries are quite serious, and I need to find a place to recover as soon as possible!"

Shi Ningyu's expression was very serious. After sensing the presence of Kuang Qinglu and the other person behind her, she said in a deep voice, "We must shake off Kuang Qinglu and the other person now, otherwise our situation will still be very dangerous if they catch up with us."

Shi Ningyu frowned deeply, as she had not yet figured out a way to escape Kuang Qinglu and the other person's pursuit.

"Let's return to Hundred Beast Peak and rely on the third-tier demonic beasts there to take advantage of the chaos and get rid of Kuang Qinglu and the other two!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

They have now left the area of ​​Hundred Beast Peak. The ruins of the Divine Jade Sect are vast, and after traveling for so long, they are already far away from Hundred Beast Peak.

They were in a very open environment, and unless they were much faster than Kuang Qinglu and her companion, it would be difficult for them to shake them off.

Lu Cheng'an's proposed method was actually quite risky. If they wanted to rely on the third-tier demonic beasts of Hundred Beast Peak to escape Kuang Qinglu and the other person's pursuit, then they would also face the dangers brought by the third-tier demonic beasts.

But this was the only way Lu Cheng'an could think of to get rid of Kuang Qinglu and the other woman.

A look of surprise appeared on Shi Ningyu's face. She hadn't expected Lu Cheng'an to come up with such a method.

Her lips moved, and she quickly agreed.

In fact, she also possessed a secret soul-severing technique called the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm. She had gone to great lengths to collect treasures to strengthen her soul in order to cultivate this secret soul-severing technique.

Relying on this secret technique, she was absolutely confident that she could severely injure Kuang Qinglu, or even kill her outright.

But this was her last trump card, and she didn't want to use it on Kuang Qinglu.

Because Kuang Qinglu's strength wasn't particularly formidable among the four, what Shi Ningyu feared was Sha Zehan, who came from a Nascent Soul sect.

The Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm is extremely powerful, but after Shi Ningyu uses this divine soul technique to attack, her soul will be greatly affected, making it impossible for her to use this divine soul technique again.

Therefore, she would not use this divine soul technique unless it was a matter of life and death.

For this reason, even now, Shi Ningyu has not used the Divine Jade Soul-Severing Palm to attack Kuang Qinglu.

After agreeing to Lu Cheng'an's request, Shi Ningyu controlled the flying artifact to slowly change direction and sped towards Hundred Beast Peak.

Shi Ningyu and her companion were slightly slower than Kuang Qinglu and her companion, and during this time, Kuang Qinglu and her companion continued to attack Shi Ningyu and her companion.

However, because Lu Cheng'an's strength has recovered considerably, he found it much easier to defend against the attacks of Kuang Qinglu and the other person.

The distance between them closed very slowly. Even after Shi Ningyu and the other person entered Hundred Beasts Peak, Kuang Qinglu and the other person still hadn't truly caught up with Lu Cheng'an and the other person.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, we're looking for a mid-stage third-tier demonic beast!"

Lu Cheng'an spoke in a deep voice, controlling his divine sense to spread out and begin searching for the existence of a mid-stage third-tier demonic beast.

A mid-stage third-tier demonic beast is comparable to a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. Even if Lu Cheng'an and the others tried their best, they might still be no match for such a powerful demonic beast.

However, if it's just about escaping for their lives, they still have a good chance of escaping from the mid-stage third-tier demonic beast.

For example, the Jade Horned Ox, although it was very fast, was still slower than Lu Cheng'an and the others when they were using their flying magic artifacts at full power.

"Senior Brother Luo, they want to use the third-tier demonic beasts of Hundred Beasts Peak to escape our pursuit!" After seeing Lu Cheng'an and his companion's actions at Hundred Beasts Peak, Kuang Qinglu finally realized their purpose.

She let out a furious shout, and her hands quickly formed a hand seal. The water elemental energy in the world surged, transforming into a huge, all-encompassing water net that enveloped Lu Cheng'an and his companion.

This technique originated from the Tianshui Sect, and Kuang Qinglu also cultivated it to perfection.

When Lu Cheng'an saw the massive water net pouring down on them, a cold smile appeared on his face.

He quickly formed a hand seal, and a crimson magic seal flew out from his hand.

The crimson seal transformed into a three-legged golden crow, accompanied by a high-pitched cry. The three-legged golden crow then transformed back into the crimson seal and met the attack of the water net.

Water and fire are inherently mutually restraining, and when the Golden Crow Seal collided with the water net, it immediately erupted with a violent roar.

Then, a violent surge of energy erupted, and the surrounding ancient trees, impacted by this force, immediately cracked and snapped.

After breaking through the water net's attack, the power of the Golden Crow Seal weakened to its limit and dissipated shortly afterward.

Meanwhile, Shi Ningyu was still controlling her flying artifact to quickly traverse Hundred Beast Peak. After a short while, she sensed a mid-stage third-tier demon beast.

That was a mid-stage Tier 3 Golden Armor Bear.

The Golden Armor Bear is known for its defensive capabilities, while its attack power and speed are relatively average, which just meets Lu Cheng'an's requirements.

However, it was, after all, a mid-stage third-tier demon beast, and its strength was still beyond what Lu Cheng'an and the others could withstand.

"A mid-stage Tier 3 Golden Armor Bear, should we make a move against it?" Shi Ningyu asked in a deep voice.

If they were to attack the Golden Armored Bear first, it would definitely provoke a frenzied pursuit from the bear, as this kind of monster is extremely vengeful.

Although the third-tier demonic beasts of Hundred Beast Peak were formed from the power of the Divine Jade Sect ruins, their habits are no different from those of the real beasts.

"Of course we have to take action!"

The moment Lu Cheng'an finished speaking, he had already unleashed his Cave Fire attack on the mid-stage third-tier golden-armored bear.

The Cave Fire Finger was the first second-tier technique that Lu Cheng'an mastered to perfection, and it was also the weakest second-tier technique he had ever practiced.

The Golden Armored Bear is known for its defensive capabilities. Lu Cheng'an's Cave Fire Finger Seal attack did not cause any damage to the mid-stage third-tier Golden Armored Bear, but it was enough to completely enrage it.

A roar that echoed through the mountains and forests came from the mouth of the golden-armored bear. The golden-armored bear stood up, its huge body resembling a small golden mountain.

Its enormous bear paw slammed out, followed by a golden claw shadow that roared out and chased after Lu Cheng'an and his companion.

Lu Cheng'an used various methods to resist the attack of the golden claw shadow, but the difference in strength between him and the Golden Armor Bear was too great. After blocking the attack of the golden claw shadow, he still suffered extremely serious injuries and completely lost his ability to fight.

Shi Ningyu frantically urged her flying artifact to move forward. After Lu Cheng'an blocked the attack of the golden claw shadow, they successfully left the golden-armored bear's attack range. "These two lunatics! How dare they!"

Kuang Qinglu watched Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu's retreating figures and immediately shouted angrily.

However, they dared not continue their pursuit of Lu Cheng'an and his companion, for between them lay a Golden Armored Bear, a mid-stage tier-three demonic beast on the verge of madness.

Third-tier demonic beasts already possess intelligence comparable to that of human cultivators, but these third-tier demonic beasts of Hundred Beast Peak were created by the power of the Divine Jade Sect ruins.

Although they possess the strength of third-tier demonic beasts, they lack the intelligence of third-tier demonic beasts.

This means that the mid-stage Tier 3 Golden Armor Bear cannot distinguish between Lu Cheng'an and Kuang Qinglu, which is the main reason why Lu Cheng'an came up with this method.

As long as Kuang Qinglu and her companion enter the Golden Armor Bear's attack range, the Golden Armor Bear will attack indiscriminately, regardless of whether Kuang Qinglu and her companion have made any moves against it.

Although Kuang Qinglu was extremely unwilling, she could only choose to rush in the opposite direction, as they dared not enter the attack range of the golden-armored bear.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, how are you feeling?"

After escaping the pursuit of the Golden Armored Bear with Lu Cheng'an, Shi Ningyu immediately took Lu Cheng'an underground.

She quickly carved out a simple cave dwelling and brought the seriously injured Lu Cheng'an into it.

Lu Cheng'an's condition is extremely bad. Both of his arm bones are broken, and his internal organs are also cracked. His injuries are more severe than ever before.

"My injuries are quite severe, and it may not be easy for me to recover!"

Lu Cheng'an gave a wry smile; he had underestimated the power of a mid-stage third-tier demonic beast.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, rest assured, I will definitely make sure nothing happens to you!"

Shi Ningyu spoke in a deep voice, and the moment her voice fell, she took out a very exquisite jade bottle from her storage bracelet.

The jade bottle exuded abundant spiritual energy. After Shi Ningyu opened the sealed jade bottle, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from it.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, what is this?" Lu Cheng'an asked in a deep voice.

Just from this fragrance, Lu Cheng'an felt that his injuries were showing signs of rapid recovery.

"This is the essence of a hundred ginseng!"

After Shi Ningyu finished speaking, she made a hand seal with one hand, and then a drop of milky white liquid emerged from the jade bottle.

"Open your mouth!"

Upon hearing Shi Ningyu's voice, Lu Cheng'an immediately opened his mouth obediently, and Shi Ningyu directly put the milky white liquid into Lu Cheng'an's mouth.

The moment the essence of ginseng entered Lu Cheng'an's mouth, he sensed the astonishing power contained within that drop of liquid.

Before he could even actively refine the power of the Hundred Ginseng Essence, he felt his injuries being rapidly healed by its power.

Lu Cheng'an did not ask what the Hundred Ginseng Essence was. After swallowing the drop of Hundred Ginseng Essence, he began to quickly refine its power to rapidly heal his injuries.

When Shi Ningyu saw Lu Cheng'an begin to use the power of the Hundred Ginseng Essence to regulate his body, a look of heartache appeared in her eyes. Then she carefully put the jade bottle containing the Hundred Ginseng Essence into her storage bracelet.

The Hundred Ginseng Essence is a sacred healing substance made from hundreds of kinds of spiritual ginseng!
The Hundred Ginseng Essence that Shi Ningyu refined consumed more than two thousand spirit ginseng plants in total. These spirit ginseng plants included more than two hundred second-tier spirit ginseng plants and more than twenty third-tier spirit ginseng plants.

Even with so many ginsengs, the essence of ginseng extracted from them amounted to only one and a half drops!

Now that Shi Ningyu has given Lu Cheng'an a drop, only half a drop of the Hundred Ginseng Essence she painstakingly refined remains.

Shi Ningyu took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and then sat cross-legged next to Lu Cheng'an to begin treating her injuries.

Shi Ningyu's injuries were also extremely serious, but not nearly as severe as Lu Cheng'an's.

Therefore, she did not take the remaining half drop of Hundred Ginseng Essence, but instead relied on the Jade Void Cloud Pearl and the Divine Jade Replenishing Technique to heal her injuries.

Shi Ningyu and Lu Chengan have joined forces to kill a third-tier early-stage demonic beast, thus completing the test of the Divine Jade Sect.

The next test is that the four inheritors will eliminate two more people. This time is more generous, and the two of them will have enough time to recover from their injuries.

Time passed slowly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

The healing effect of the Hundred Ginseng Essence is excellent. Although Lu Cheng'an's injuries were extremely serious, he completely recovered after thoroughly refining the power of that drop of Hundred Ginseng Essence.

Moreover, Lu Cheng'an also felt that his physical strength had been greatly enhanced.

This kind of enhancement is different from the enhancement in the Fiery Fiery Wind Cave; it is an enhancement of his life essence.

After checking his own data panel, he discovered that his lifespan had increased from 430 to 432, a full two years longer.

Longevity-extending spiritual items are extremely precious. Even though the Hundred Ginseng Essence Liquid only increased Lu Cheng'an's lifespan by two years, the preciousness of such spiritual items cannot be denied.

For some high-level cultivators whose lifespan is about to run out, the Hundred Ginseng Essence Liquid may be more precious than the Core Formation and Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects.

After examining the changes in himself, Lu Cheng'an slowly opened his closed eyes. His gaze fell on Shi Ningyu, and he found that Shi Ningyu was still focused on recuperating from her injuries.

After sensing the changes in Shi Ningyu's body, Lu Cheng'an frowned slightly, and then he thought of the preciousness of the Hundred Ginseng Essence.

Shi Ningyu might only have one drop of this healing treasure, and she gave it to him to use.

Upon thinking about this, Lu Cheng'an's mood immediately changed.

However, he didn't say much, closed his eyes again, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

The Jade Void Cloud Pearl and the Divine Jade Replenishing Technique were also very effective in restoring Shi Ningyu's body. After eight days of dedicated recuperation, her injuries were basically healed.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, have your injuries healed?" Shi Ningyu asked Lu Cheng'an about his health as soon as she recovered.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shi, for the Hundred Ginseng Essence. All my injuries have been completely healed!"

Lu Cheng'an smiled and looked at Shi Ningyu, asking with concern, "How are Fellow Daoist Shi's injuries? Have you fully recovered?"
