Chapter 743: Life Essence

Chapter 743: Life Essence

Old Tortoise’s blood stained the path that they swam through. Finally, both man and tortoise finally reached Miracle Island.

Crash!

Old Tortoise collapsed on the shore and squinted, with no energy to move anymore.

Little Green and Little Gray rushed over after smelling Ye Lingchen’s aura. Upon seeing Old Tortoise both canines then immediately howled and bared their teeth, as if they wanted to avenge it.

Little White’s body had grown much more and was slightly bigger than a house cat. It also let out a low growl and slowly began embodying the king of beasts’ aura.

As for Little Foxie, it wrapped its tail around itself and shivered as it looked at the terrifying wound.

“You guys stay here and guard Old Tortoise. I’ll be back soon.”

After Ye Lingchen finished speaking, he utilized his parkour and hurried to the herb garden. He immediately took whatever herbs that would be useful to treat Old Tortoise without so much as a second thought.

Dong Miaomiao, who was meticulously tending to the herb farm, jumped up in fright and rushed over with Ye Lingchen. When she saw the miserable appearance of Old Tortoise, her eyes immediately turned moist. Saddened and distressed, tears began streaming down her face.

Everyone cherished Old Tortoise even though it rarely appeared on Miracle Island. Its most endearing characteristic was its lazy behavior, and most people would go over to play with it from time to time. One of the things they liked to do was lie on Old Tortoise’s back and set off to sea as though it were a ship.

Humans and animals alike respected Old Tortoise and treated it just like family.

At that point, Old Tortoise was hurting badly and its life was hanging by a thread!

Dong Miaomiao glanced at Old Tortoise’s shell and did not dare to look a second time. “Chairman Ye, how did this happen? This… Can it be saved?”

“Yes! I’ll definitely save Old Tortoise!”

Ye Lingchen said categorically while feeding ginseng, knotweed, and other herbs into Old Tortoise’s mouth. Those herbs were more than a century old and could quickly replenish blood and Qi. Ordinary people might not be able to bear it, but it could potentially save Old Tortoise.

Ye Lingchen subsequently took out the Vitality Fruit and Bloodclot Grass, which were spiritual herbs from the Void Realm. Among the fourteen kinds of herbs, those two were particularly useful for healing. He fed the Vitality Fruit to Old Tortoise before crushing the Bloodclot Grass and applying it to Old Tortoise’s wound. Old Tortoise’s Qi finally began to stabilize after that.

It was a pity that Ye Lingchen did not know the specific usage of those two spiritual herbs, otherwise the healing effects would be better if he refined it as soon as possible.

Ye Lingchen then took out his mobile phone and called Chen Qi directly.

Chen Qi soon answered the phone. “Little Friend Ye, why do you have the time to call me today? ”

“What’s the best healing herb you have in the Martial Arts Pavilion?” Ye Lingchen asked straightforwardly. “And don’t tell me about Vitality Fruit and Bloodclot Grass. I know there’s something better there!”

There was a brief silence on Chen Qi’s end and he asked in a deep voice. “What’s the matter?”

He could hear from Ye Lingchen’s tone that something must have happened.

Ye Lingchen answered solemnly, “I’ll exchange information for my friend’s life, but my friend is dying because of what happened.”

Chen Qi asked in a serious tone. “What information?”

“Bring the herbs to Miracle Island to exchange them for information. You have two hours. The information has everything to do with China’s future!” Ye Lingchen hung up the phone immediately after finishing his words.

“This kid…”

Chen Qi shook his head with a wry smile, then glanced at Xiang Guocheng, who was standing beside him and had an equally gloomy expression. “You’re the one who ruined our reputation and made this kid so cautious of our Martial Arts Pavilion!”

“I just told him about the principles that a warrior should strive for. It was for his good. I didn’t expect him to be so petty.” Xiang Guocheng had a sincere look.

“As if anyone will believe what you said. You owe him one hundred merit points and you owe me two hundred. You’re the Director. You should pay your dues,” Chen Qi said earnestly.

“What? How much?” Xiang Guocheng appeared stunned. “When did I owe that kid a hundred merit points? It was only twenty!”

“Enough. Are you still going to pretend? The kid told me everything.” Chen Qi’s expression suggested that he saw right through Xiang Guocheng’s deceit.

“No, it really is only twenty points.” Xiang Guocheng grimaced. “You have to believe me, that kid is the one who’s cheated me.”

Chen Qi waved his hand, “Quit your acting. It was because I believed you that I was cheated out of two hundred merit points. We have to go to Miracle Island as soon as possible. The kid will probably go berserk if we keep dawdling.”

“Bring the Life Essence,” Xiang Guocheng looked at Chen Qi. “I hope it’s worth it. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to let the kid work for me! ”

Chen Qi nodded. “Mm. ”

…

Two hours later, on Miracle Island.

Although Old Tortoise was still alive, it was still very weak. Plenty of vitality was required because of its humongous size. Those herbs might have worked perfectly on humans, but their effects on Old Tortoise were severely limited.

Finally, a helicopter appeared in the distant sky. It hovered over Miracle Island before making a slow landing.

Apart from the pilot, Chen Qi was the only one present.

“What exactly is going on?” Chen Qi frowned and asked in a deep voice after noticing Old Tortoise’s situation.

The wound on Old Tortoise was so gruesome that it sent chills down his spine. The strength of the person who hurt Old Tortoise was definitely much higher than his own!

The old tortoise was a strange worldly beast, and Chen Qi could hardly break the animal’s shell even if he attacked at full force.

“Where’s the spiritual herbs?” Ye Lingchen asked anxiously.

Chen Qi threw a jade bottle to Ye Lingchen. It was only as big as a thumb and contained a milky white liquid. “This is the Life Essence, the most precious item in the martial arts pavilion. The price of this bottle is at least upward of fifty thousand merit points!”

Ye Lingchen looked at the liquid and was shocked senseless. The name of the liquid was enough to suggest that it was not something ordinary.

Ye Lingchen’s pupils contracted abruptly as he opened the bottle cap. All he felt was a strong spiritual life energy crashing against his face, making his entire body feel warm.

Beside him, Dong Miaomiao—who was just an ordinary person—became immediately intoxicated at the smell of it. Little Green and Little Gray benefited from it too.

“It’s so rich in spiritual energy,” Ye Lingchen exclaimed in surprise.

In fact, it could not be considered spiritual energy anymore, but spiritual energy that had sublimated into another form of energy. No description could be more apt than the Life Essence.

He then poured everything into Old Tortoise’s mouth without delaying any further.

Although it was only a small bottle, its effect was surprisingly good. Old Tortoise’s state had clearly recovered and it opened its eyes with some luster in its gaze. Nevertheless, the wound on its back still showed no signs of recovering.

Seeing Ye Lingchen looking at him, Chen Qi immediately said, “This is all we can do, Kid. We don’t have anything else anymore. If you really want to completely restore Old Tortoise’s back, it would have to consume a massive amount of Life Essence. I’m afraid not even the whole of China can produce it for you.”

“Where does the Life Essence come from?” Ye Lingchen asked.

“They were all collected from troops or small villages in the Void Realm. Most of the pavilion’s Life Essence was distributed from Buff Island,” Chen Qi explained. “You can’t seriously be thinking of using Life Essence to treat Old Tortoise? It’s unrealistic, and besides, Old Tortoise has already weathered through the critical period and is now safe. It’s not worth it…”
