He had seen this kind of spirit pill in the Treasured Pill Scripture, but the Holy Church of Light did not have this kind of spirit pill due to the lack of a few spirit herbs. In order to replenish their blood essence, they usually ate more birds and beasts.
Lu Zhen, for example, needed a large amount of blood essence to recover her arm. Unfortunately, she didn't have a spirit pill like the Vitality Enhancement Pill, so she could only rely on eating more birds and beasts.
However, this replenishment speed was limited, so it would take about ten days.
The speed at which one replenished their blood essence also determined the rate of recovery. Similarly, if one grew an arm, the arm would grow stronger if it had an abundant supply of blood essence. If the blood essence was not abundant, the arm would be like the arm of a baby, and it would need to grow stronger step by step.
Although the blood essence of martial artists was strong, it was still not enough to regrow limbs.
"Alright!" Wen Tingdao was overjoyed. He did not expect Chu Li to agree to it.
Chu Li said, "A bottle of Strengthening Pills and the Less Ultimate Sword. Hand it over now!"
Wen Tingdao took out a jade bottle and a thin booklet without hesitation and tossed them to Chu Li.
Chu Li took it and flipped through the sword manual. Then, he took the one in Li Ruolan's hand and flipped through it again. He nodded thoughtfully. It was indeed an exquisite sword technique. The moves were exquisite and could make up for the lack of skills.
He then pulled out the cork of the bottle and poured out ten perfectly round red pills. He nodded in satisfaction and took out a jade bottle from his bosom and tossed it over.
Wen Tingdao opened it and saw four soybean-sized pills inside. They were the Detachment Pills that he had consumed before. He nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "Brother Zhao, we're friends now."
Chu Li scoffed. "We're not friends!"
"If we trust each other, then we are friends. I treat Brother Zhao as a friend!" Wen Tingdao chuckled. "No discord, no concord. Now that I'm related to the Holy Church of Light, I'll definitely look for Brother Zhao for a drink when I have the time!"
Chu Li waved his hand and said, "I don't have time to deal with you. It's better if you don't come. Goodbye!"
With that, he turned around and left.
Li Ruolan followed him out of the room.
Wen Tingdao raised his voice. "Brother Zhao, we'll meet again."
Chu Li waved his hand at the people behind him. Then, he took large strides and sped up. Finally, he activated the Time Steps and sped up alongside Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan followed him without saying a word.
She knew that she was to blame for this matter. She was too careless and was easily tricked to come here. She was too worried and confused and couldn't keep her cool.
Chu Li did not say a word and continued on his way. He descended the mountain where the Taoist temple was located and headed towards Falling Autumn City.
"Junior Brother, regarding this matter …" Li Ruolan sighed. "I've implicated you."
Chu Li glanced at him and said nothing.
Li Ruolan said, "The situation at that time was too realistic. I really thought that they had captured Senior Brother Ji. You know that Senior Brother Ji can't fight back now and is almost a cripple. It's very easy for him to be captured …"
"Yes, I understand." Chu Li waved his hand and interrupted her. "It's not that you're careless, it's just that Wen Tingdao is too cunning. It's impossible to guard against him."
"Ah …" Li Ruolan sighed.
Chu Li replied, "I was planning to hand the Detachment Pills to the Saint so that she could exchange the Less Ultimate Sword with the Sword Moon Sect. I didn't expect Wen Tingdao to be in such a hurry and use these tricks. I have no choice but to make the exchange now."
Li Ruolan's eyes flickered as she quickly understood Chu Li's plan.
"It's my fault …" Li Ruolan said apologetically.
Chu Li shook his head. "He always has a way to trick you. You can't defeat Wen Tingdao, so this situation is inevitable. Let's return to the Great Light Peak as soon as possible before he keeps pestering us!"
"Alright!" Li Ruolan nodded vigorously.
It was a sin for her to diminish Junior Brother Zhao's contribution so that he could not advance further in front of the Saint. Perhaps he was one step away from becoming a Priest at a crucial time.
The two of them quietly returned to the backyard of the Town Defense Prefecture where Lu Zhen and the others were waiting.
When Ji Xin saw Li Ruolan, he went forward excitedly. He wanted to hug Li Ruolan in his arms but when he saw that Li Ruolan was calm and unfazed, he could only suppress his urge.
Zhou Jinchun grinned excitedly and asked what happened.
When Li Ruolan told him what had happened, everyone shook their heads helplessly.
When faced with such a situation, not to mention Li Ruolan, anyone else would not be able to do anything about it. They would chase after him out of concern and end up in such a situation. Wen Tingdao was extremely cunning and had only taken advantage of this period of time.
However, they also knew that such an invitation could turn into a forced one at any time. If Chu Li did not rush over in time, the outcome would be unpredictable.
"Since when did Wen Tingdao become so easily convinced?" Ji Xin said angrily.
He felt inexplicably nervous when he thought about the dangerous situation Li Ruolan was in.
"He still wants the Detachment Pills." Chu Li shook his head. "Forget it, let's not bother about him for now. Senior Sister Lu, one Strengthening Pill a day and two Detachment Pills each time!"
"Alright." Lu Zhen nodded.
She had been quiet as if she was indifferent to everything. She only held Li Ruolan's hand without saying a word. She was actually enduring the pain in her shoulder.
"We should go," Chu Li said. "Let's return to the Great Light Peak as soon as possible."
"Yes, let's go!" Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin nodded immediately.
Li Ruolan said, "Senior Sister Lu, let's go back together. It's not good to stay here any longer."
"Mm." Lu Zhen nodded.
She knew that Mo Qianjun wanted her to leave as soon as possible. She had become a burden.
—
Indeed, Mo Qianjun could not wait for all of them to leave. After all, they would only be a burden if they stayed. Therefore, the next morning, they left Falling Autumn City. Zhou Jinchun and Ji Xin could not use their light-body techniques, so they rode on fine horses.
Mo Qianjun gave each of them a horse and sent them off personally.
Chu Li shook his head when he saw the satisfied look on his face. If he knew that Bai Feng and the others had already set up a big formation, he would not be so excited. He would not be able to get the credit for defending Falling Autumn City this time.
Cheng Sen and Cheng Lin's formation was set up more smoothly than expected. It was completed on the second night, but it was not activated yet. It could be activated at any time if the army attacked.
Everyone rode on horses and galloped away.
Lu Zhen had been quiet throughout the journey.
Chu Li knew that she was in great pain. The Detachment Pill did not feel good and her entire arm was probably in pain. Although she had lost her arm, the pain was still there.
Lu Zhen did not groan at all. She even tried to hide her pain. However, Li Ruolan and the others knew that she was not feeling well when they saw her pale face. Therefore, they did not disturb her and continued their journey in silence.
On the morning of the fifth day, they arrived at the Great Light Peak. A cheer broke the silence. Li Ruolan held Lu Zhen's left arm and was overjoyed. Lu Zhen's left arm had indeed grown back.
Zhou Jinchun quickly leaned over to look at Lu Zhen's fair left arm. He laughed excitedly and held Chu Li's hand tightly. He said gratefully, "Junior Brother Zhao, you're really good! You're really good! "
Chu Li was helpless at his enthusiasm and pulled his hand out with much effort.
Ji Xin was also amazed. "I didn't expect her arm to grow back. The Detachment Pill is amazing! Who would be afraid of getting hurt with this? "
