After making a full recovery, Jianchen left the secret room. Ruijin and Black Fish were already waiting outside.
Jianchen's heart immediately warmed when he saw how Ruijin and Black Fish were still by his side. He clasped his hands at the two of them and said, "Senior Ruijin, senior Black Fish, sorry for making you wait."
"It doesn't matter. The two of us have nothing to do here anyway. Since we have nothing to do, we came to where you are in seclusion to prevent anything from happening to you again," Hei Yu said with a chuckle.
Ruijin stared at Jianchen for a while before asking, "Jianchen, is the matter regarding the World of Forsaken Saints true?"
Black Fish stopped smiling when he heard Ruijin's sudden question. He quickly became stern.
Jianchen nodded, "Yes, it's completely true. The seal to the World of Forsaken Saints does exist in the depths of Mercenary City, and the trembling of Mercenary City is because the experts from the World of Forsaken Saints are attacking the seal."
Ruijin became stern. He stopped talking about the matter regarding the World of Forsaken Saints and said, "Jianchen, let's go."
Afterward, Jianchen went to see Tie Ta. After chatting with him for a while, he left the independent space with Ruijin and Black Fish, returning to Mercenary City. Jianchen did not disturb Ming Dong as he was still at a critical juncture in his breakthrough.
When Jianchen, Ruijin, and Black Fish returned to Mercenary City, the city had already returned to normal. The cracks on the ground had been repaired by the protective energy, so no one seemed to be able to connect it to the damaged city from before.
An elder of Mercenary City casually found a reason to announce the reason for the tremors in Mercenary City. It quelled the fear and doubt of countless mercenaries in Mercenary City.
Jianchen found Honglian and Houston in an inn under the lead of Ruijin and Black Fish. The two of them were recuperating in the same inn.
"Greetings to uncle Xiu, senior Honglian." Jianchen clasped his hands politely as soon as he saw the two of them. He quickly glanced past the two of them and discovered that Houston was still heavily injured. His face was pale, while Honglian seemed fine, but she was clearly exhausted.
Jianchen could also sense that Honglian's presence had become much weaker.
Honglian was a phoenix that had lived for several thousand years, but she only seemed to be in her twenties. When she heard how Jianchen had addressed her, Honglian immediately widened her eyes. She stared at Jianchen viciously and said with some anger, "What senior? Jianchen, am I that old?"
Jianchen was stunned when he heard that. He had never thought that Honglian would react so strongly when he called her senior.
Ruijin smiled when he saw how Honglian had reacted. He said, "Honglian, when did you become like a little girl? That's not like you at all."
Honglian gently stroked her hair before returning to her room. She sat down on the bed and stared at Jianchen with a strange light in her eyes. She said, "Jianchen, I've paid quite the price to save you this time. I've been reborn four times in a row, which has made me enter a period of weakness for forty years. Tell me, what treasure will you give me to make up for my losses?" Honglian was serious. She did not seem to be joking at all. She was extremely serious.
"Jianchen will definitely remember senior's kindness of saving my life. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you several times over." Jianchen clasped his hands without any hesitation.
Ruijin walked over and patted Jianchen's shoulder. He gently smiled, "Jianchen, Honglian is just joking with you. Don't take it seriously."
Honglian acted like she did not hear Ruijin's words at all. She frowned and glared at Jianchen with some displeasure, "I told you not to call me senior. Why won't you listen? Jianchen, listen up. You're not allowed to call me senior in the future. Just call me by my name, Honglian!"
"Yes!" Jianchen clasped his fist at Honglian. After a moment of thought, he said, "Honglian, uncle Xiu, you're injured. Why don't you go to the artifact space? I'll get the Artifact Spirit to heal you."
Uncle Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard that. He coughed twice and said in a rather weak voice, "That's great. With the help of the saint artifact of the Radiant Saint Master Union, I'll be able to recover from my injuries that would take several decades at the very least."
Afterwards, Jianchen directly took out the saint artifact and sent uncle Xiu into the artifact space. Afterward, he looked at Honglian and said, "Honglian, why don't you go to the artifact space to heal as well?"
Honglian glanced at Jianchen before closing her eyes and meditating. She said, "My body is weak because of the aftereffects of my rebirth. My strength has fallen from the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. It's not something that can be healed by a saint artifact. It can only be slowly healed by time. Of course, if there's an extremely precious treasure of the world, it can shorten the time I'm weak. "
"A treasure of the world? Does Dragon Saliva Grass count as one? "Jianchen asked eagerly.
Honglian gently shook her head, "Dragon Saliva Grass can only be regarded as a heavenly resource. It's nowhere near an extremely precious treasure of the world."
Jianchen felt rather disappointed. He knew that Honglian was a powerful helper that Ruijin had found. If she could recover her strength, he would have gained another powerful helper.
"Master, the holy water of the spirit sea can help this little phoenix recover its strength," at this moment, the sword spirits' voices rang out in Jianchen's head.
Jianchen rejoiced inside. He immediately sent his consciousness into his sea of consciousness and saw the two streaks of light, one violet and one azure, slowly revolve around the five-colored immortal crystal. In these past few years, the sword spirits had been absorbing the energy of the five-colored immortal crystal to recover their strength. As soon as he saw the sword spirits, Jianchen immediately sensed that they were much stronger than before. The five-colored immortal crystal had also shrunk in size.
"Ziying, Qing Suo, you said that the holy water of the world can help Honglian recover from the aftereffects of using Rising From The Ashes?" Jianchen asked. The holy water of the spirit sea that the sword spirits were talking about was the holy water of the world of the sea race.
"That's right. We also know a little about the phoenix race. Every time they use the innate ability of the phoenix race, Rising From The Ashes, there will be a period of weakness. Their strength will greatly decrease. If they use Rising From The Ashes several times in a row, the period of weakness will accumulate. Fortunately, this little Phoenix's strength wasn't too strong. Every time it used Rising From The Ashes, it would only be weakened for ten years. In our original world, when some powerful Phoenixes used the Rising From The Ashes divine ability, they would be weakened for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer. In order to shorten the period of weakness and recover to their peak condition as soon as possible, some experts of the phoenix race began to travel the world in search of a method. In the end, they finally found the holy water of the spirit sea that can help them recover, "Ziying explained.
Jianchen's consciousness slowly returned to his body. Although he knew that the holy water of the world could help Honglian recover immediately, he only had one portion of it. He had prepared it for the Azulet Swords, so he could not give it to Honglian.
"When I return to the sea realm next time, I will immediately search for the holy water of the world." Jianchen thought. Right now, he was confident that he possessed the strength to enter the dangerous regions of the sea realm to search for the holy water of the world.
After leaving Honglian's room, Jianchen entered the artifact space again. He first went to see You Yue and the White Tiger to comfort them before directly going to where uncle Xiu was healing.
Uncle Xiu's wounds were healed by the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force from the Artifact Spirit, so he made a full recovery very quickly. This made uncle Xiu sigh in amazement as this was the first time he had seen the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force. He constantly praised how wondrous and powerful it was.
With a flip of his hand, a book appeared in Jianchen's empty hand. This was the cultivation method that the Blood Demon Emperor had left behind in the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands. The Baleful Yin Force hidden in the book had stopped attacking Jianchen with Amagami's submission.
Jianchen passed the book to uncle Xiu and said, "Uncle Xiu, please take a look at this book."
As soon as Jianchen had taken out the book, Houston had already stared at it. When he heard Jianchen's words, he no longer hesitated and immediately accepted the book.
"Hmm?" As soon as the book entered his hand, Houston produced a soft interjection of surprise. A strange light flashed through his deep, ancient eyes as he stared at the book in his hand. He cried out, "Baleful Yin Force. This is actually Baleful Yin Force, and it's many times purer than the Baleful Yin Force I control."
Uncle Xiu did not stop the Baleful Yin Force. Instead, he allowed it to enter his body and spread towards his soul. When the Baleful Yin Force came in contact with Houston's soul, not only did it not pose any threat to Houston, but it was even devoured by Houston and converted into his own power.
However, Houston had only swallowed a small portion of the baleful Yin energy. The rest of the baleful Yin energy was like a startled bird. They retreated from Houston's body at the fastest speed and returned to the book. They quieted down and didn't dare to appear again.
"Hmm? This Baleful Yin Force actually has a sliver of intelligence. How rare, how rare." Houston could not help but sigh in amazement. He became even more curious about the contents of the book, so he immediately began to open it.
However, Huston's expression changed when he saw the contents of the first page of the book. There was unconcealable shock in his eyes, and this shock deepened as he flipped through the pages. In the end, it turned into a look of deep shock and disbelief.
"T- this is the cultivation method of my Bloodsword sect. Jianchen, where did you get this book?" Houston suddenly closed the book as he stared at Jianchen in interest.
Afterwards, Jianchen told Houston where he had obtained the book and the memory he had obtained from the fragment of the Blood Demon Emperor's soul.
When Houston learned that the founding ancestor of the Bloodsword sect was actually an expert of the sea realm, he was immediately stunned. His heart churned. He found it very difficult to believe that this was all true.
"Uncle Xiu, this is Amagami. I think it should be very useful to you." Jianchen took out Amagami again and presented it to uncle Xiu.
Uncle Xiu slowly calmed down. He stared at the Amagami in Jianchen's hand and instinctively reached out to grab it.
However, just when his hand was about to touch the Amagami, the Amagami that had been resting in Jianchen's hand suddenly flew up. It turned into a faint, red streak of light and shot towards uncle Xiu with lightning speed. In the end, it burrowed into his forehead and disappeared.
Uncle Xiu's eyes rapidly dimmed. Afterward, he closed his eyes and directly fainted.
