"Chu Li is not dead!" Xiao Qi said.
Siao Tieying sighed and said helplessly, "Sister, the dead can't come back to life. Don't be too sad!"
Xiao Qi said impatiently, "Big Brother, I'm very conscious!"
Siao Tieying saw that she was indeed conscious and asked doubtfully, "He's really not dead?"
"I don't know." Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "He's dead but his body is still warm."
"Does that mean there's still a glimmer of hope?" Siao Tieying was excited.
Xiao Qi said, "I don't think he's dead."
Siao Tieying frowned and said, "Then we have to treat him quickly. Does Elder Guo have a way?"
"If Elder Guo has a way, he won't just stand by and do nothing." Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "In his current situation, there's no way to treat him. He can only rely on himself."
His body was like rotten wood and medicine was ineffective. However, there was still a trace of warmth, which meant that his soul had not dissipated and there was still a possibility of him waking up. He must be going through a bitter struggle.
This was something that outsiders could not help him with. He could only rely on himself.
Siao Tieying got up and paced anxiously, "There must be a way!"
Xiao Qi said, "I'll go ask Grandmother Sun. She's well-educated."
"Okay, go quickly." Siao Tieying quickly said, his face was full of excitement.
Only when he was about to lose Chu Li did he realize how important Chu Li was. He was irreplaceable. If he really lost him, the Public House would lose a pillar.

Chu Li was in a daze. Sometimes he was awake, and sometimes he was in a daze. Suddenly, he arrived at a vast place. Everything around him was gray and misty. He could not see where he was or what was around him. He could only see a long path under his feet that led to the depths of the fog.
After he gradually woke up, he walked along the path in the thick fog. He did not know how long he had walked, but the fog was still thick and there was no change from before.
He felt that something was wrong and stopped to think about the situation in front of him.
The moment he fell, he knew what had happened. He was struck by lightning and instantly fainted. He thought that he would not be spared but he did not die. Maybe his strong spirit helped him escape, or some strange power protected him.
He squatted down and touched the path. The path gave him a very strange feeling. It felt like iron and wood. It was definitely not mud. Could it be that he was walking on a wooden path?
He then shook his head and no longer paid attention to this. He was thinking about how to break through the thick fog and wake up as soon as possible. If he didn't wake up soon, they might really think that he was dead and bury him.
He sat down cross-legged and visualized the Sun Cultivating White Tiger Portrait in his mind. The white tiger appeared clearly, but there was not a single trace of energy in his surroundings. It was as if he had been cut off from the world by the thick fog, or perhaps it was because he was in a strange state.
Hence, he switched to the Life and Death Scripture.
The Tree of Life and Death appeared. He suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.
A gigantic tree appeared ten steps away from him. He looked carefully and realized that the tree was huge. It was unknown how thick it was, but it completely blocked his line of sight. It was so tall that it seemed to reach the sky. He couldn't see the end of it. In front of this tree, he was like an ant in front of it.
He stepped forward and touched it. A strange feeling welled up in his heart. His flesh and blood were connected, as if his left hand was touching his right hand. This tree was the Withering Glory Tree!
Zhang Xuan thought. The thick fog in the surroundings surged and rushed toward the Tree of Life and Death, making the Tree of Life and Death even clearer and more real.
The thick fog seemed to be endless. As the Tree of Life and Death materialized, the connection between him and the Tree of Life and Death became clearer and clearer. He was the tree, and the tree was him!
"Boom!" Everything in front of him exploded. His mind went blank.
A clear sound rang in his ears. An inexplicable feeling rose in his chest. He couldn't help but open his mouth and let out a long howl that echoed throughout the entire Jade Guardian Island.
Xue was kneeling on the ground. Her eyes were red and swollen. She stared blankly at him as he opened his eyes and sat up.
"Young … Master?" Xue hesitantly called out. She was afraid that she was hallucinating and that her voice would wake him up from this beautiful dream.
Chu Li looked around and smiled. "How long has it been?"
"A day." Xue hesitantly reached out her hand to touch his face.
Chu Li patted her hand and smiled. "You're not dreaming. I'm not dead!"
"You're really not dead!" Xue's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I won't die so easily!" Chu Li smiled.
Xue wiped away her tears. "Master, you … you … you're too scary!"
Chu Li smiled. "Don't pee like a cat. Go and tell Lady Xiao."
"Yes!" Xue quickly got up. When she opened the courtyard door, she turned around to look again, afraid that it was still a dream.
Chu Li smiled and waved his hand. He watched her leave.
He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes slightly to feel his body.
A strange feeling arose. Spiritual energy from all directions surged into his body. This extremely pure spiritual energy was formed by the mixture of two forces. One force was for prosperity and the other was for withering.
Just like how atoms were made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons, the spiritual energy from the plants that he thought was extremely pure was not a single entity. The combination of prosperity and withering formed spiritual energy.
Chu Li had a sudden realization. He divided the spiritual energy into two, separating the withering energy and the prosperity energy. He injected each of them into the two spirit herbs beside him.
The two spirit herbs instantly changed. One of them suddenly grew a section full of vitality while the other began to weaken. It was about to fall sick.
Chu Li suddenly smiled. The Scripture of Life and Death had reached the second level!
He activated the Omniscient Mirror. Everything within a five-mile radius appeared clearly in his mind. The spiritual energy from the plants within a one-mile radius surged over. The enormous spiritual energy filled his body in the blink of an eye. His cultivation level increased a little.
Unfortunately, he was still in the Innate Stage. He could not understand the meaning and could not step into the Grandmaster's Boundary.
A white shadow flashed and Xiao Qi appeared in front of him. Her bright eyes stared at him.
Chu Li opened his eyes and smiled. "My Lady."
"Are you really okay?" Xiao Qi hurriedly asked.
Chu Li smiled and nodded. "I'm really lucky!"
Xiao Qi fiercely stared at him. "It's not that you're lucky. You might not be so lucky next time! … Are you feeling unwell? "
"I'm fine." Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Qi let out a long sigh and relaxed. She suddenly felt tired. She rushed to Su Ru and Xue Ling who just floated in. "Get something to eat."
Xue Ling hurriedly agreed. She looked at Chu Li again and hurriedly went into the kitchen.
Su Ru approached him and squeezed his shoulder. "He's really alive! Chu Li, you're too much! "
Chu Li smiled. "I shouldn't have troubled my Lady."
"I'm not worried!" Xiao Qi scoffed.
Su Ru pursed her lips and smiled. "I thought you were going to die. Oh right, do you really like the Second Lady that much that you're willing to sacrifice yourself to save her?"
Chu Li smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm just trying my best. I don't have any improper thoughts about the Second Lady!"
"That's enough." Su Ru smiled. "Don't say one thing but mean another. Everyone knows!"
Chu Li smiled. "It's really a misunderstanding."
"Second Elder Sister is the first beauty of the Great Ji Dynasty. It's natural for her to like her." Xiao Qi lightly said.
Chu Li said, "My Lady, please don't say that. Don't ruin the Second Lady's reputation."
Xiao Qi lightly scoffed. "Second Elder Sister's reputation …"
Chu Li helplessly shook his head. The more he tried to explain, the more he tried to cover up.
"My Lady, I'll go and tell the news to Master Xiao and the Second Lady." Su Ru said.
Xiao Qi waved her hand.
Su Ru gave Chu Li a side-eye. "Don't work so hard next time!"
"Of course." Chu Li smiled.
Su Ru pouted. He always said that. Next time, she would do what she had to do.
