Chapter 974: The Land of Semi-Spirit, Heavenly Beasts, Strong Winds, and Body Refiners
The woman's voice was long.
There was also a hint of unbelievable surprise.
This made Chen Xuan's heart tense instantly.
While in the space crack, he encountered a small-scale space storm, causing Chen Xuan to be seriously injured.
Not only was all the spiritual energy in the body consumed, but even the meridians were completely broken.
The divine consciousness was also damaged as a result.
It can only detect things within a range of more than ten feet.
At this moment, Chen Xuan had no idea who the visitor was, or whether he was going to kill him.
Soon, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance.
I saw a group of men and women walking briskly.
Holding spears and bone knives, they rushed towards Chen Xuan like a gust of wind.
The leading woman had animal skin wrapped around key parts of her body.
Her hair was tied back with a thumb-wide strip of animal hide.
When she saw Chen Xuan looking at them, the woman smiled gently, and then said a lot of things to Chen Xuan.
Unfortunately, Chen Xuan didn’t understand at all.
This made the woman very anxious.
He turned his head and kept talking to the people around him.
After a while, seeing that no one said anything, the woman waved her hand and two strong men came out.
The two strong men gave Chen Xuan a simple smile and motioned him to lie down.
Soon, the two men took out animal skins and spears, made a stretcher on the spot, carefully placed Chen Xuan on the animal skin stretcher, tied Chen Xuan up carefully, and then carried Chen Xuan together and ran away.
Chen Xuan, lying on the stretcher, looked normal, but his spiritual thoughts were secretly monitoring these people.
It was discovered that there was not even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy in these people's bodies.
However, their physical strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Especially the two people who were carrying Chen Xuan were almost equivalent to cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
He ran for dozens of miles without even taking a breath.
They waited for everyone to run nearly a hundred miles in one breath before they stopped.
The leading woman glanced around vigilantly.
After making sure that there was nothing unusual nearby, the two strong men who were carrying Chen Xuan put him down.
Soon, a secret signal of birds singing and monkeys crying was heard.
A skinny old man wearing an animal skin coat slowly walked out of a mountain stream.
The old man's turbid eyes swept over Chen Xuan.
He then said something incoherent that Chen Xuan couldn't understand.
However, Chen Xuan could see that it was the old man who was asking questions to the leading young woman.
I don’t know what the two of them communicated.
About half a cup of tea later, the old man squatted beside Chen Xuan and started talking incoherently with a smile.
Chen Xuan still didn't understand.
The old man frowned slightly and said a few more words. When he saw that Chen Xuan still looked confused, he shook his head in disappointment.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan finally understood that the old man in front of him must have been communicating with him just now.
However, although the old man understood many languages, there was not one that Chen Xuan could understand.
After a little thought, Chen Xuan said a few words in the common language of the Fuyao world.
The old man and everyone present had no reaction.
Then, Chen Xuan tried to communicate with the old man using the ancient language he had learned before.
Just when he spoke a very ancient ancient language, the old man actually showed a look of surprise.
Soon, the old man stammered in ancient language to communicate with Chen Xuan.
"Young man, who are you? Why are you in Thunderstorm Mountain?" the old man asked curiously.
"Father-in-law, my name is Chen Xuan. I entered the Thunderstorm Mountain to pick medicinal herbs and was unfortunately injured. Thanks to you for saving me, otherwise I probably wouldn't have survived." Chen Xuan said.
Upon hearing this, the old man showed a rare look of surprise.
Soon, he spoke again in the ancient language.
The general meaning is that he is a rare alchemist in the clan and can make some pills for Chen Xuan to cure diseases and injuries.
However, the villages they live in are very small.
The protection that can be provided to Chen Xuan is very limited.
If Chen Xuan is still unable to take care of himself within a month, they will abandon him directly.
Chen Xuan was speechless about this strange rule.
After thinking about it carefully, and seeing that the old man spoke very calmly and had no ill intentions, Chen Xuan nodded and agreed.
"Thank you, old man. If I am still unable to move freely within a month, I will be dealt with according to your rules."
Chen Xuan thanked him.
The old man nodded, then waved his hand, signaling the two strong men to carry Chen Xuan and continue forward.
Follow the narrow mountain stream that the old man just walked out of and keep walking inside.
There was a cave that was only wide enough for one person to enter and exit.
Outside the cave, there were several strong young men guarding it, holding spears, bone knives and wearing animal skins.
Seeing the old man and the young woman leading the group come in, all of them looked overjoyed.
Chen Xuan saw this but didn't say much.
Let the two strong men carry him and continue forward.
After passing through a dark cave about ten miles long, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A village built of stone appeared in front of Chen Xuan.
Children were running happily in the village, and the elderly and women were busy eating.
Seeing the strong men led by the young woman return safely, men, women, old and young in the village rushed out one after another.
There was joy and anticipation on everyone's face.
The leading woman didn't say much.
After smiling slightly, he nodded to the strong men behind him.
Soon, several strong men, like magic, took out seven or eight corpses of monsters that were about ten feet in size.
These monsters don't have a single hair on their bodies.
Looks skeletal.
But it has a pair of fleshy wings with barbs.
With Chen Xuan's eyesight, he could see at a glance that if these flesh wings with barbs fell on the people in front of him, they would probably be killed on the spot.
"What on earth is this place?"
Chen Xuan looked puzzled.
But he was not in a hurry.
Watching the strong men distribute the corpses of monsters they brought back.
The old men and women then hurriedly set up the stove and started cooking.
And at the signal of the leading woman, Chen Xuan was carried by two strong men into a narrow stone house that was only two or three meters in size.
Chen Xuan was lying on a simple wooden bed covered with animal skins.
While there was no one around, he quietly released his spiritual thoughts and checked his body.
He suddenly discovered that the meridians in his body were severely damaged.
There wasn't even a trace of spiritual energy left in his dantian.
Even a lot of bones were broken.
Now, although he only has divine consciousness, he is unable to open the storage bag.
This made Chen Xuan very angry.
"If there is still a trace of spiritual power left in my Dantian, I can also open the storage bag."
"Then I can take the healing pills to temporarily treat my injuries."
"But right now..."
Chen Xuan looked distressed.
After waiting for just over an hour, the door of the stone house was pushed open.
The ones who came in were the leading woman and the old man who was communicating with Chen Xuan.
"Chen Xuan, my name is Tianyu, and this is Xueyun, a female body cultivator from our tribe. We brought you some food, so please eat some first."
The old man had a gentle expression.
As he spoke, Xueyun took out a stone bowl.
The stone bowl was filled with monster meat.
Although it didn't look very good, Chen Xuan could clearly feel that there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power in the monster meat.
"Thank you both!"
Chen Xuan thanked him.
Just as he was about to take the stone bowl with difficulty, Xueyun smiled and said something to the old man.
Hearing this, the old man smiled and explained, "Chen Xuan, Xue Yun said that you were seriously injured and your hands and feet might not be convenient. So, she plans to feed you herself."
"This……"
Chen Xuan looked a little embarrassed.
But Xueyun was not shy.
He put the stone bowl on the wooden bed, took out a bone knife, cut a piece of meat and put it into Chen Xuan's mouth.
The meat had already been cooked soft.
It melts at the entrance.
The thin spiritual power in the flesh flowed along Chen Xuan's meridians and quickly fell into his body.
Unfortunately, Chen Xuan's meridians were completely severed, and the spiritual power did not remain and dissipated immediately.
Chen Xuan felt a little regretful in his heart, but he looked normal on the surface.
With Xueyun's help, he managed to finish the full bowl of meat.
"Thank you both very much."
Chen Xuan thanked him.
After a pause, Chen Xuan looked at the old man curiously: "Excuse me, sir, where is this place?"
"This is a semi-spiritual land!"
The old man said with a smile.
Chen Xuan looked a little surprised.
The land of half spirits!
He had seen this kind of name in some ancient books when he was in the Fuyao world.
Specifically, the distribution of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not very uniform, and not all places have spiritual energy.
It is precisely because of this that some famous mountains and rivers were created, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant.
The rest of the places are where the spiritual energy is very thin.
However, there are some places where there is simply no spiritual energy at all.
In addition, there are some strange places that only have spiritual energy for a few months a year, and have no spiritual energy at all at other times.
This kind of place that sometimes has spiritual energy and sometimes does not is called a semi-spiritual place.
The semi-spiritual land and the absolutely spiritual land without any spiritual energy are the places that immortal cultivators are most reluctant to stay.
Chen Xuan didn't expect that his luck was so bad.
Unexpectedly fell into the semi-spiritual land.
"Father-in-law, what are you doing in Thunderstorm Mountain?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
"Hehe, there is still some time before the spiritual energy explodes. However, many celestial beasts have gathered in Thunderstorm Mountain. If we mortals living in a semi-spiritual land want to survive, we must seize the time to hunt celestial beasts during this period. Otherwise, when the spiritual energy dries up, we will just starve." The old man explained calmly.
Chen Xuan was secretly surprised.
Taking this opportunity, I asked some other questions in detail.
The old man knows everything.
It was for this reason that Chen Xuan realized that the semi-spiritual place where he was now settled was indeed in the spiritual world.
However, it is still a long way to go to the place where immortal cultivators live together.
Most importantly, if you want to go to the place where those immortal cultivators live, you need to cross an area of strong winds.
If Chen Xuan's cultivation was fully restored, those places filled with strong winds would no longer pose any threat.
But at the moment, Chen Xuan could only temporarily give up this idea.
"Thank you for your generous answer. However, I have another request. Can I follow you and learn your language? It will be convenient for communication in the future?" Chen Xuan said sincerely.
"Haha, it's nothing. I'll come to see you when I have time. Have a good rest!"
After the old man finished speaking, he left with Xueyun.
Only Chen Xuan was left, sitting quietly in the stone house.
However, thinking about his current situation, Chen Xuan's expression became extremely ugly.
"Although this is the spirit world, I can't just sit here and wait for death in this semi-spiritual place, right? Next, I have to hurry up and find a way to recover my cultivation!"
