Chapter 2380 - 2381: Recuperation

Chapter 2380: Chapter 2381: Recuperation

Passions run high, yet Chen Lin embodied the essence of this proverb perfectly.

About a moment later, Liu Qinghan opened his eyes. The fatigue that once filled his gaze had dissipated, leaving only a trace of tranquil clarity.

Seeing Liu Qinghan like this finally eased Chen Lin’s heart a bit.

Liu Qinghan said nothing more, but from his slightly flickering eyes, he could see Chen Lin’s urgency. Thus, he chose to remain silent and resumed the refining from before.

This refining was extremely exhausting, as were the herbs. Success depended solely on quantity, which was why Lin Chen had gathered so much soul grass.

If the quantity was too scarce, then the potency would naturally be insufficient, leading to failure, especially since Chen Jie’s injury was not minor.

Liu Qinghan stretched out his palm, and power surged once more. He grasped the soul grass in his hand and began a new round of treatment.

This time, Liu Qinghan didn’t pause at all. The emerald green liquid refined from the soul grass fell onto Chen Jie’s forehead with a slight lift of his hand.

Black evil qi suddenly emerged, as if it were a lord resisting the invasion of this green aura.

Liu Qinghan watched all this calmly, without a trace of impatience. His eyes were as deep as the stars, and his hands moved steadily yet swiftly.

Just as the green color was about to be erased by the evil qi, Liu Qinghan replenished it, seemingly intent on exhausting the black evil qi entrenched within Chen Jie’s consciousness.

Chen Jie appeared to be in pain, her brows furrowed tightly, and even in her unconsciousness, she couldn’t help but let out a soft whimper.

Seeing this, Chen Lin’s heart sank, glancing at Chen Jie and then at the composed Liu Qinghan, he ultimately remained silent.

Time flew by during this process.

The few people outside couldn’t help but grow tense.

"There won’t be anything wrong, right?"

Sun Tianming’s expression was anxious, his eyes unwittingly falling on the gradually setting sun.

This round of treatment had taken an entire afternoon, so it was no wonder they were worried.

"Phooey, phooey, phooey, big auspiciousness, you jinx, can’t you say something nice?"

Lin Wan’er put her hands on her hips and glared at Sun Tianming, who had just spoken.

"Exactly, Master’s fate is his own, Brother Sun, you better keep quiet."

Yue Lai concurred, expressing disapproval of Sun Tianming’s earlier words.

Although these two said so, their anxious expressions revealed their unsettled thoughts. They just didn’t want to think ill.

"It should be fine, right."

Lin Chen muttered softly. With so much time having passed, Lin Chen didn’t know the circumstances inside. Yet, they couldn’t intrude easily, so all they could do was wait anxiously outside.

As time went on, their expressions grew more anxious. If not for what Liu Qinghan said earlier, they might have already entered to find out.

...

It was not clear how much time had passed, but by the time the moon had risen, a creak was heard from inside, and eventually, Chen Lin and Liu Qinghan came out of the room.

Liu Qinghan looked extremely pale, with sweat still lingering on his face. For such a long time, although Chen Lin had provided some small assistance, the main effort came from Liu Qinghan alone. Even he found it a bit overwhelming during this prolonged healing.

Fortunately, Liu Qinghan’s hard efforts hadn’t been in vain. He managed to completely eradicate the highly toxic evil qi from Chen Jie’s consciousness.

This also greatly reassured Chen Lin, who walked out alongside Liu Qinghan. Unlike Liu Qinghan, he didn’t show any signs of fatigue, only a radiant face.

It was indeed so. Without the entanglement of those black qi, the wounds in Chen Jie’s consciousness had additional soul grass applied by Liu Qinghan. Once the medicinal properties took effect, Chen Jie should improve.

This naturally delighted Chen Lin, as he no longer had to watch Chen Jie remain in that state akin to a few-year-old’s intelligence. Although he was not disdainful, Chen Lin didn’t wish for her to stay that way.

"Sect Master, how is it?"

Unaware of the situation inside, they hurriedly ran forward to inquire.

They were all very close friends of Chen Jie, so their concern was natural.

"Rest assured, she is fine now." Liu Qinghan gave a slight nod, signaling to them.

"That’s good."

Lin Chen exhaled heavily. With the burden off his shoulders, he felt an immense relief. He wasn’t fond of owing too many favors. If this matter had left Chen Jie in her current state for life, the burden in Lin Chen’s heart would have been imaginable.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Lin Chen said solemnly to Liu Qinghan. Without Liu Qinghan’s strenuous rescue, it would have been very uncertain whether Chen Jie could recover.

"No trouble."

Liu Qinghan replied calmly, then waved towards Lin Chen and said, "We’re leaving."

As he finished speaking, Lin Chen only felt a gust of wind pass behind him, as if something had dashed out from behind him.

But upon turning around, he saw no trace of anything. In a moment, Lin Chen realized that it was the shadow Liu Qinghan had mentioned earlier to monitor him.

Now, with Lin Chen back and considering the earlier betrayal by Tao Yuyu on the battlefield, the need for surveillance vanished.

After the shadow emerged from behind Lin Chen, Liu Qinghan also left the place.

After all, having been delayed here for so long and spent a lot of Spiritual Energy, Liu Qinghan truly needed a quiet place to rest and recuperate.

"It’s best not to disturb her now, let her rest well."

Shortly after Liu Qinghan left, Yue Lai prepared to run into the room. But as he moved, Chen Lin grabbed him by the shoulder.

Although the chronic illness in Chen Jie is gone, it’s not advisable to cause a disturbance. She needs a quiet environment to recover, which Liu Qinghan had mentioned earlier in the room.

"Okay."

Yue Lai had no choice but to step back. Regardless of his concern for Chen Jie, there’s a priority to be considered. At this moment, it was not appropriate to cause a disturbance, so he could only retreat and continue to wait.
