"Yes, you're back," Su Yan looked at his junior sister's confused expression and explained, "It was Master who arrived and brought all of you back."
"What happened?" Chu Lingwei recalled the moment she fainted, when the spiritual power emanating from the Buddha's Light Pagoda had stunned them. "It was the Buddha's Light Pagoda, no, it was the Spiritual Domain."
Chu Lingwei's eyes tightened. Something had gone wrong in the Spiritual Domain.
"Junior Sister, don't think about anything for now, just drink the medicine," Su Yan sighed. The entire Profound Sky Continent was in chaos.
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother," Chu Lingwei took the medicine and drank it in one gulp.
She immediately felt a gentle medicinal power repairing all her internal injuries, making her feel much more comfortable.
"What kind of medicine is this? It's so potent."
Chu Lingwei was a little curious. Her spatial dimension didn't have spirit herbs that were this potent yet gentle.
"This is the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng that Master had me prepare for you. You should have some yourself," Su Yan's eyes showed surprise. Master had given Weiwei a piece of Blood Ginseng.
"So it's Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng. It's so potent, no wonder Fengming wouldn't let go of it." Chu Lingwei looked at the bowl, which still had a faint aura of spiritual energy overflowing from it, and murmured, "What a shame, I wish I had planted a few stalks myself if I had known."
Hearing Chu Lingwei's words, Su Yan couldn't help but shake his head. Only his junior sister would be so generous, giving away Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, which was nonexistent on the Profound Sky Continent, to a spirit beast.
If those powerful cultivators knew, they would surely capture Fengming to refine medicine.
"Third Senior Brother, how is Second Senior Brother?" Chu Lingwei thought of her Second Senior Brother, Nangong Luo. If he hadn't shielded her with his body, she would have been even more severely injured.
"He's still not awake," Su Yan smiled faintly when he heard Nangong Luo's name. This kid was always causing trouble, and now he finally had a reason to stay put in his own cave dwelling. "He was quite seriously injured and will need a few more days to wake up."
"Second Senior Brother..." Chu Lingwei's heart tightened. Second Senior Brother must have been injured protecting her. "Third Senior Brother, I want to go see Second Senior Brother."
"No, even after drinking the Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, you cannot leave your cave dwelling."
Su Yan's expression was serious. Both Second Senior Brother and Junior Sister were severely injured. Master had been treating them for three full days just to preserve their cultivation.
Master had set up a barrier around their cave dwellings, both to aid their recovery and to prevent outsiders from intruding.
"But..." Disappointment flickered in Chu Lingwei's eyes. She had implicated Second Senior Brother.
"Your Second Senior Brother has many ways to protect himself, and Master has already treated him. You will see him in a few days," Su Yan gently patted his junior sister's shoulder. "You should rest well and recover as soon as possible."
Chu Lingwei nodded. As long as Second Senior Brother was not in mortal danger, they would always meet again.
After Su Yan left, Chu Lingwei was left alone in the cave dwelling. She tried to contact her spatial dimension, but as soon as she heard Fengming's voice from within, a sharp pain shot through her body, and she collapsed onto the bed.
"Weiwei."
Bei Chenfeng used his spiritual energy to support Chu Lingwei, allowing her to lie down slowly.
"Master."
Chu Lingwei's eyes lit up when she saw Bei Chenfeng. She sat up and asked, "Master, what exactly happened at the Myriad Buddha Sect? Why am I so severely injured?"
"The Spiritual Domain self-destructed, and you were all injured by its spiritual power."
Bei Chenfeng stood before Chu Lingwei, looking at his disciple's pale face. He shook his head. He knew Chu Lingwei would encounter danger in the Spiritual Domain, but he hadn't expected it to be in this manner.
"Self-destructed."
Chu Lingwei's heart skipped a beat. "Does the Spiritual Domain no longer exist?"
"Yes."
"Master, the spiritual energy within the Spiritual Domain is poisonous." Chu Lingwei told Bei Chenfeng what she had discovered.
"Mm, the poison in your bodies has now been resolved with the Spiritual Domain's self-destruction, so you don't need to worry about it affecting your future cultivation," Bei Chenfeng explained. "However, your bodies are damaged and require thorough repair."
Chu Lingwei looked at Bei Chenfeng, unsure if he truly knew everything that had happened in the Spiritual Domain.
"Master."
"Weiwei, don't think about anything now. Focus on your recovery."
Bei Chenfeng interrupted Chu Lingwei. "You are severely injured. Do not leave your cave dwelling for the next two years."
"Yes."
Chu Lingwei could feel her body. She knew her cultivation was very unstable and would require a long time to stabilize.
Bei Chenfeng nodded and left the cave dwelling.
Chu Lingwei closed her eyes and tried to circulate the spiritual energy within her body. However, as soon as she sensed the presence of spiritual energy, her entire body erupted in excruciating pain, forcing her to stop.
"Junior Sister, didn't I tell you that you need to rest properly now?"
Su Yan sensed his junior sister moving her spiritual energy erratically and quickly walked in, sealing her spiritual power.
"I know, I won't do it again."
Chu Lingwei gave a bitter smile. The pain she felt when she tried to channel her spiritual energy, a pain like her body was being torn apart, was something she didn't want to experience again.
"That's good."
Su Yan looked at his junior sister's pained expression. He didn't give her any more medicine; her body was too weak to handle too much medication.
"You just need to rest well, like an ordinary person."
Chu Lingwei nodded, slowly lay down, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
Waking up to take medicine, and after taking medicine, sleeping. This kind of life continued for a full month.
From being unable to move initially, Chu Lingwei could now move freely within her cave dwelling, though she was not allowed to step outside.
"Junior Sister, it seems you've recovered quite well?"
Nangong Luo walked to the entrance of Chu Lingwei's cave dwelling and saw her sitting in the courtyard, eating spirit fruits and drinking spirit fruit juice, living a leisurely life.
"Second Senior Brother, you're finally awake." Chu Lingwei's eyes lit up when she saw Nangong Luo appear. She stood up and ran to him.
Over the past month, Chu Lingwei had only seen two people: Master and Third Senior Brother. They would visit her briefly each day, see that she was alive, and then leave.
Chu Lingwei had been living a rather uninteresting life during this period.
"I woke up long ago, but Master wouldn't let me out." Nangong Luo sat down in the chair Chu Lingwei had just vacated, poured himself a cup of spirit honey, and took a sip. His eyes brightened. "Junior Sister, this spirit honey of yours is excellent."
"If Second Senior Brother likes it, I'll send you some more later."
Chu Lingwei chuckled inwardly. This spirit honey was brewed from spirit grasses grown in her spatial dimension, so it was naturally much better than ordinary spirit honey.
"Brother loves hearing you say that the most." Nangong Luo nodded in satisfaction. Sometimes, he couldn't help but sigh. He was many years older than his junior sister and had cultivated for several years, yet he didn't possess as many good things as she did. He truly felt inferior.
"Second Senior Brother, Master doesn't let me go out either."
Chu Lingwei quickly sat beside Nangong Luo, looked into his eyes, and said with anticipation, "Tell me about the situation outside."
