Chapter 18: Being intercepted
The strange rocks resemble stars in the heavens, their bodies radiant with vibrant colors and their halos lingering long.
Carrying a vast and ethereal aura, it drifted gently toward Han Yi's brow, about to lightly kiss it, but was suddenly grabbed by a large hand, abruptly severing the wondrous connection between the two.
"So fast?" The owner of the hand frowned slightly, his gaze complicated, and then disappeared from the spot in the next second.
Judging from his appearance, something he was wary of was definitely coming. He left in a great hurry, not forgetting to erase his presence.
Meanwhile, Mingyue, carrying a food box, was happily making her way to Wuxu Cliff to deliver food to her junior brother.
As the green trees swayed, she flew directly past, missing Han Yi, who was seriously injured and lying on the ground.
When she reached the edge of the cliff, she found it deserted. Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up in her mind.
Just as she was getting anxious, a crane flew over hurriedly, signaling her to follow.
……
In the mountains and forests, she saw her junior brother, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
"Junior brother!" Mingyue rushed forward, gently helped him up, and carefully held him in her arms.
Not far away, a crane was trapped, emitting mournful cries and gazing at her with pleading eyes, as if begging for help.
The man was covered in wounds, his clothes were tattered, and the exposed skin was covered with shocking scars.
It looked like it had been viciously clawed by a wild beast; the skin was torn and white, and it looked painful.
Mingyue was both angry and heartbroken. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly reddened.
"Which beast dares to hurt my junior brother?!"
She suddenly raised her head, her gaze sharp as a sword, piercing straight at the trapped crane. Her chest heaved violently, and she looked like an enraged tigress, her eyes blazing with murderous intent.
The already pitiful crane was immediately locked onto by this intense killing intent, which terrified it so much that it kept crying out to the bright moon and desperately making all sorts of incomprehensible movements.
At this moment, Mingyue's spiritual energy fluctuated violently, and the surrounding sky changed accordingly. A gale howled, and dark clouds were rapidly gathered as if by an invisible hand, instantly darkening the world.
"I'll deal with you first, then I'll settle accounts with it." Mingyue waved her hand, and a stream of spiritual energy shot towards the crane.
The crane was terrified and closed its eyes in despair, thinking that it was all over now.
Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy struck the bird-catching net that was trapping it, and the net broke instantly.
The crane dared not delay, spread its wings and took its mate with it, and "whoosh," it soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mingyue watched the crane fly away, stomping her feet in anger. "You're so carefree! You flapped your wings and ran off, while my junior brother is still seriously injured!"
She hugged Han Yi tightly, her body floating in mid-air, preparing to fly and settle scores with the beast that had injured him.
"Senior sister, why don't you save him first? This kid is so badly injured, he might die if we don't save him soon."
At the critical moment, Huixin arrived, panting. Seeing Mingyue's desperate stance, he felt a little scared. This was the first time he had seen his senior sister so angry, and he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and get into trouble.
Upon hearing this, Mingyue finally came to her senses. Right, she had to save him first! She quickly used her healing magic, and Han Yi's injuries were fully healed in no time. Strangely, he didn't wake up.
After discussing it, the two decided to take him back to the Taoist temple as soon as possible.
Just as Huixin was about to carry Han Yi on her back, Mingyue grabbed her and flew towards the Taoist temple.
Back at the Taoist temple, Mingyue gently settled Han Yi on the bed. His complexion was rosy, and his injuries had obviously healed, but his eyes were still tightly closed.
Mingyue was extremely anxious. She turned to Huixin and shouted, "Junior brother, quickly take out a few of the Blood Spirit Pills and Nourishing Spirit Pills you refined and feed them to Yuji."
Upon hearing this, Huixin's eyes widened like copper bells, her face filled with disbelief.
"What? How many? You're going to eat such precious pills like food?" His round body trembled, and his face scrunched up with heartache.
He was inwardly groaning: These Blood Spirit Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills were treasures he had painstakingly refined, and he was usually reluctant to use them himself. Now he had to give several of them to this kid, and it hurt his wallet!
Blood Spirit Pill is a sacred medicine for healing, extremely precious; Spirit Nourishing Pill, which repairs the soul, is even rarer, and is a priceless treasure in the Qingyun Empire and even the entire Northern Region.
Huixin glanced at Han Yi lying on the bed, then at Mingyue, pouted, and shook her head helplessly.
"Senior sister, this boy's injuries have all healed, so let's not waste the Blood Spirit Pill. I think feeding him a Spirit Nourishing Pill will suffice."
He wanted to take the Blood Spirit Pill back, but Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and shut him up.
Hui Xin reluctantly stuffed two pills into Han Yi's mouth, made a hand seal, and cast a spell to make the pills slowly slide into his dantian.
Still mumbling.
"You brat, you're really lucky to have met such an unlucky senior brother like me. In just half a year on the mountain, you've wasted dozens of Blood Spirit Pills. You'd better get better soon, you still owe me a mountain of debt."
As the elixir entered his body, a mysterious power spread throughout Han Yi's body.
Mingyue stared intently at him, not daring to blink, hoping he would wake up soon.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air, and when the two reacted, they saw that it was Xuan Kongzi.
The old Taoist priest frowned slightly, staring at Han Yi. After a moment, he nodded slightly.
"It's nothing serious, he should wake up by tomorrow at the latest."
