Chapter 411 Soul Healing, Reasons
They knew it was Li Ping who had received the news and rushed over.
Feng Xishuang hurriedly activated the formation and anxiously came outside to greet Li Ping.
When she saw Meng Wanjun following behind Li Ping, she was slightly taken aback, but considering that Meng Wanjun and Li Ping had an extraordinary relationship and that Meng Wanjun was a trustworthy person, her expression quickly returned to normal.
Before she could say anything more, Li Ping spoke first, "Fellow Daoist Feng, please take me to see Fellow Daoist Wei's condition."
"No problem, Teacher Li!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xishuang finally felt relieved.
She and Wei Yiling carried out the mission to kill the so-called cultists in a mortal city less than 40,000 miles from Lingxiao City.
After completing her mission, she encountered a "murder to silence" incident. Instead of panicking or rushing back to Lingxiao City, she first tried to find out the identity of the person she had killed.
After figuring out the person's true identity, she made her final decision.
While searching for the nearby "Wanli Pavilion" and spending spirit stones to ask them to send someone to Li Ping for help, she herself took Wei Yiling and fled to a safe house.
Beneath this desolate mountain lies a hidden second-tier high-grade spiritual vein, which she and Wei Yiling discovered by chance in their early years and later transformed into a secret hiding place.
Therefore, they asked Li Ping to help them create a concealment formation to completely hide the place.
No one knew about it except themselves.
Originally, after sending the letter, Feng Xishuang guessed that Li Ping wouldn't arrive so quickly.
After all, this place is more than 100,000 miles away from Lingxiao City. Even if a late-stage Core Formation cultivator flew at full speed day and night, it would still take five or six days to arrive.
It would take several days for the messenger to deliver the letter to Li Ping.
Of course, none of that matters. The most important thing is that she asked Li Ping in her letter to help her search for a treasure to heal her soul injury and save Wei Yiling's life. This is what will take the most time!
The soul is the most crucial element of a living being; it can be said to be the foundation of all life.
Even for cultivators who achieve immortality through consuming qi, once their soul leaves their body, their immortal form will turn into a walking corpse.
The soul is formless and intangible; once damaged, it is extremely difficult to recover!
Treasures capable of healing damage to the soul are not only extremely rare in the cultivation world, but their value is also incredibly precious.
She surmised that even if Li Ping had the means to purchase similar treasures, it probably wouldn't be something he could do in a short time.
To her surprise, Li Ping arrived shortly after she and Wei Yiling arrived.
Everything went surprisingly smoothly; Sister Ling was saved!
As for why Li Ping didn't buy the treasure to heal his soul, he came alone.
Based on Feng Xishuang's understanding of Li Shi, he was a man who planned carefully before acting and would not do something so thoughtless and impulsive.
He either won't come, or if he does, it proves he has a way to save Sister Yiling.
……
Led by Feng Xishuang, they traveled for seven or eight miles along the narrow passage.
Piercing through the concealment array, a spiritual spring several meters in diameter appeared before Li Ping, and on the ice jade bed beside the spring, a beautiful female cultivator with a face as pale as wax paper lay quietly.
Seeing this, Li Ping stepped forward to the ice jade bed, placed a hand on Wei Yiling's forehead, and began to examine her condition.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Wei Yiling's soul hidden within her golden core was extremely unstable, almost blurry and indistinct, with fragments of her soul falling off from time to time, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!
Once her soul truly disintegrates, that will be her death.
In fact, if Wei Yiling were still conscious, the damage to her soul wouldn't be a big problem. She could completely cultivate the "Myriad Spirits Divine Technique" to slowly recover her lost soul and stabilize her condition.
But now she is in a coma, unconscious, unable to cultivate on her own, and can only let her soul slowly dissipate.
At this time, what she needs most is external help; she needs to use treasures that nourish the soul to restore her own soul.
Once she wakes up, everything will be much easier.
Having learned about Wei Yiling's condition, Li Ping flipped his hand and took out a piece of jet-black divine wood, about the length of his forearm and the thickness of three fingers, from his storage bag.
Then he carefully lifted Wei Yiling's head with one hand and placed the dark sacred wood behind her head.
A mysterious aura emanated from the divine tree, causing the three people present to unconsciously calm down.
Especially Feng Xishuang, who stared at the sacred wood behind Wei Yiling's head, silently sensing its mysterious aura, couldn't help but reveal an expression of disbelief in her eyes: "This... could this be the legendary Soul-Nourishing Wood!"
She guessed correctly; what Li Ping took out was indeed Soul-Nourishing Wood, and it was Soul-Nourishing Wood that was over five thousand years old.
After receiving Feng Xishuang's jade slip, he immediately harvested the Soul-Nourishing Wood from Gray Island.
Unfortunately, this Soul-Nourishing Wood was not old enough to meet Li Ping's requirements, so it could only be considered a semi-finished product. It was quite a pity that it was taken away like this!
Fortunately, Li Ping replanted the roots of the Soul-Nourishing Tree. He only needs to wait patiently for another twenty years, and a new ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Tree will grow on the island.
After resting his head on the Soul-Nourishing Wood, Li Ping went to observe Wei Yiling's soul.
It was discovered that, under the influence of the Soul-Nourishing Wood, her hazy soul had stopped dissipating and was beginning to slowly recover.
However, the recovery is incredibly slow; Li Ping estimates it might take more than a decade for her to wake up again.
However, the situation was unlikely to worsen, and Li Ping finally felt relieved.
"Teacher Li, Sister Yiling, she..."
Feng Xishuang looked at Li Ping and received a reassuring look from him: "My Soul-Nourishing Wood has reached five thousand years of age, which is more than enough to save Fellow Daoist Wei. However, since Fellow Daoist Wei is unconscious, his soul can only recover passively, so he cannot wake up for the time being."
"It really is Soul-Nourishing Wood, and it's five thousand years old."
Deeply moved, Feng Xishuang bowed respectfully to Li Ping, saying, "I am deeply grateful for Master Li's assistance!"
Li Ping waved his hand, indicating that Feng Xishuang did not need to be so polite.
Although Wei Yiling is a bit arrogant, they have been intimate in the past, and given his personality, he couldn't possibly ignore her just because of that relationship.
Before Feng Xishuang could say anything more, Li Ping interrupted her, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Feng, you said that you and Fellow Daoist Wei were used as scapegoats by the Datong Society to kill a group of so-called mortal cultists, and were ultimately silenced. Who exactly were those cultists you killed?"
This problem had actually been bothering him ever since he read the letter.
Now that Wei Yiling's condition has stabilized, he finally has time to ask the questions that have been bothering him.
What exactly were the identities of those mortals that made the higher-ups of the Datong Society so wary, and that made Feng Xishuang not even dare to return to Lingxiao City, but instead hide more than 100,000 miles away?
Feng Xishuang sighed: "Afterwards, I was puzzled, so I went to inquire and found out that the group of people we killed were not actually cultists, but a group of Confucian scholars discussing the matter of worshipping heaven and earth, and Guan Qianzai was also among them."
