Chapter 64: Twin Flowers

  Pong!

  Zhang Shan felt his body shake violently and then he was slammed to the ground.

  The unexpected fall awakened him from his meditation, and as he stirred, he felt that the true yuan in his body had recovered by more than half, and the injury to his left shoulder was almost healed.

  He opened his eyes and sprang up, looking around, only to see Ling Yuwei lying on the ground not far in front of him, her life or death unknown.

  Zhang Shan was shocked and rushed over to help her up: "Ling Shijie, how are you? Wake up quickly."

  Ling Yu's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes to see Zhang Shan's anxious gaze. She forced a smile: "I'm fine, I won't die just yet."

  Zhang Shan saw that she could still speak, and his heart was slightly at ease. He then grasped her wrist, and a strand of true yuan entered her body, circulating once before his heart sank further.

  Her current situation is quite dire, with her vital energy severely depleted. She looks like a dying old man on his last legs, with only a few days of life left in him.

  Ling Yuwei gasped and opened her own Qimeng ring, taking out a small jade bottle. Her trembling hands couldn't grasp it for a moment, and it fell to the ground.

  Zhang Shan picked it up in one go and hastily opened it. Inside was a crimson red dan medicine, with an unusual fragrance that hit his nostrils.

  He was overjoyed and asked: "Sister, can this elixir heal your wound?"

  Ling Yuwei slightly shook her head: "The aftereffects of the Blood Escape Technique aren't that easy to cure, but this Blood Jade Rejuvenation Pill can at least let me live a few more days."

  Zhang Shan held back his disappointment and brought the medicine to Ling Yuwei's mouth, letting her take it. A moment later, as the medicine took effect, a hint of color appeared on her pale face, and her spirits lifted somewhat.

  After a short rest, she took out another star compass from the Xumi ring to calculate their position: "We are now deep in the Three Thousand Miles of Forest Sea, and it's still too far from the Subsidiary Valley."

  "Sister, what are you doing? Since we've shaken off the pursuit, why not take a detour back to our sect's main mountain now? Perhaps there's medicine within the sect that can cure your poison." Zhang Shan said.

  Ling Yuwei shook her head and said, "Since I learned this escape technique, I've been paying attention to the medicinal pellets that can cure backlash, but unfortunately, there aren't any suitable ones in our sect."

  "However, during my recent trip to the Valley of Noon for training, I coincidentally discovered a nearly mature Double Birth Flower in an underground cave within the valley. It should be able to alleviate the aftereffects of the Blood Escape Technique."

  Bei Ling exclaimed in the sea of consciousness: "If it's really a Twin Lotus Flower, then it can indeed save her life."

  Zhang Shan's spirits lifted and he exclaimed with joy: "That's great! No wonder Shifu Jie didn't flee towards the sect after using the Blood Escape Technique, but instead went deeper into the forest."

  "I heard that Xing Yuebo was going to hunt the Ice Fire Spider, so I joined in. Originally, I wanted to see if there was an opportunity to get the Twin Lotus, but unexpectedly..."

  Ling Yuwei said with a hint of hatred: "After activating the Blood Escape, I fled in the direction of Ziwu Valley with a lucky mentality. Anyway, it's death either way, so I might as well try my luck in the spider cave."

  Zhang Shan nodded: "Don't delay, my injury has almost recovered, I'll carry Shifu's sister from now on."

  Ling Yuwei refused, saying: "I plan to go alone, let's part ways here. Junior brother, after returning to the sect, report what happened to the superiors, Xing Yuebo and others will definitely be severely punished. Even if I die, my eyes will be closed in peace."

  Zhang Shan suddenly jumped up: "How can that be? Abandoning you and escaping back to the sect on my own, I couldn't do such a thing."

  "There is a ninth-order spider demon guarding it, and even if we two join forces, we won't be its match. I'm just going to do my duty, and if you come with me, Brother Disciple, at most you'll just lose your life."

  "And if both of us die in here, won't Xing Yuebo and those people get away scot-free? So it's best that we split up and act separately."

  Zhang Shan said resolutely: "Maybe what you said is reasonable, but if I leave like this, I'm afraid my conscience will blame me every day."

  Ling Yuwei wanted to persuade him again, but Zhang Shan didn't give her a chance and carried her on his back: "Sister, don't say anything more, instead of wasting your breath, you'd better help me navigate the way."

  Ling Yuwei saw that he had made up his mind and let out a sigh, pointing to the left with her hand: "Go in this direction, first cross over that mountain peak..."

  Zhang Shan unfolded his body method, followed her pointing, and went forward.

  Ling Yuwei was carried on a man's back for the first time and felt very unaccustomed.

  At first she struggled to prop herself up with her hands, not letting her chest touch Zhang Shan. Before long, she couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto his back.

  Ling Yuwei felt her chest pressed against his solid back, and with each jump and dip, that place was constantly rubbed and squeezed.

  For a moment, her cheeks were on fire, she was so ashamed that she wanted to die, and the voice indicating direction began to tremble.

  Zhang Shan also felt the fullness and softness of her back, and for a moment he had a romantic thought, it took him half a while to suppress his wild thoughts and put his attention on the road.

  "The host risked his life to venture into the dragon's lair, commendable bravery indeed! Now, feeling pretty good, huh?" said Lingyu with a sudden tease.

  "What are you still chattering about at this hour? You'd better use that energy to think of a way to deal with that spider instead." Zhang Shan said irritably.

  "A ninth-grade spiritual beast, even at its peak, wouldn't be a match for the two of you. How could it be now when it doesn't even have a third of its usual strength? If you make a move, it will only speed up its death. I think you don't stand a chance." Bi Ling said sarcastically.

  "I'm asking you to think of a way, not to pour cold water on it." Zhang Shan shouted angrily.

  "Let's wait until we arrive at the place and see how things go. Thinking too much now is useless. I hope that when the time comes, the host will be cautious and not lose his life in vain. If something happens to you, your mother will have no one to take care of her." Bi Ling reminded him.

  Zhang Shan's face sank like water: "Don't you agree with me taking a risk for someone I just met?"

  "It's not that, trying to save her is still necessary, otherwise you'll be uneasy in your heart and your thoughts won't be clear, which will be detrimental to your martial arts spirit later on. However, as long as the host does their best, it's enough; if things can't be done, don't force it and risk losing your life."

  Zhang Shan fell silent, temporarily putting aside his anxiety in his heart, and hurried on with a faster pace.

  Thanks to Ling Yuwei's familiarity with the road and the wide range of Bai Lingshen's perception, they were able to avoid some troublesome monsters in advance, so they basically didn't encounter any major troubles along the way.

  In the afternoon, Zhang Shanyuan, who had been rushing for most of the day, was almost at his wit's end.

  When he climbed up a small hill, Ling Yuwei said softly: "Younger brother, take a rest first."

  Zhang Shan nodded and put down Ling Yuwei: "Now we should have gone deep into the forest for more than 4,000 miles. I don't know how far it is from Subu Valley."

  "We're less than a thousand miles away, but from now on, the road will be mostly within the range of sixth-grade spiritual beasts. It's only two hours before nightfall, so let's rest here for the night and continue tomorrow morning."

  Ling Yuwei's face still had a faint flush on it, she didn't dare to look at him, turned her head and looked at the sky, suggesting.
