Xiao Yi flew away for a million miles, then landed again.
Finding a spot in the wilderness, he sat cross-legged once more.
The Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace appeared out of thin air, and he quickly tossed in poisonous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Xiao Yi planned on alchemy, but he was refining Poison Pills.
His current damaged body simply couldn’t bear any other kind of power, even pure medicinal power.
He was severely injured now, and could only heal with Poison Pills.
"Poof." Just as Xiao Yi manipulated Poison Power to convert into some Primordial Power, a rush of Qi-Blood raged inside him, and he spat out a mouthful of bloody spit.
The strike from Ghost Hand Elder earlier had directly left him severely wounded and near death.
Though he had stabilized himself, averting immediate danger to his life, the injuries were still heavy.
"Damn it." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, forced himself through the pain, and began refining pills immediately.
An hour later, pure Poison Pills were refined.
Poison Pills can kill, but they can also save.
Xiao Yi quickly consumed them, his internal injuries visibly recovering at a rapid pace.
If it weren’t for him being an Alchemist, facing repeated severe injuries would be impossible to manage.
"Shui Ninghan." Xiao Yi muttered to himself, squinting.
When he was at the Dongli Sword Palace before, Xiao Yi felt that Shui Ninghan was not simple.
Yet, he didn’t expect this ’not simple’ to far exceed his expectations.
Enlisting Evil Cultivators, the Masters of Dominating Star Mansion, Medicine Star Mansion, and Seven Star Mansion aided him, such capability is definitely beyond ordinary Heavenly Talents.
When Xiao Yi encountered Shui Ninghan a hundred miles outside Medicine Star Mansion earlier, he sensed an extreme danger.
This sense of danger came not only from Shui Ninghan but also from his own instinct.
So, he did not plan to stay long back then, just wanted to deal with it and leave.
His damaged body was not suitable for dealing with these troubles.
Especially since his biggest trump card now, ’Ice Storm Devouring Soul’, required Soul Power.
And Soul Power, once used is less, and he still needed it to handle the dangers of the Eighteen Cave Mansions.
As predicted by his instinct, he ended not only severely injured but also depleted all his Soul Power in the Small World.
With such strong guardians around, no wonder Shui Ninghan always seemed so confident.
However, that old man didn’t kill him at that moment... Xiao Yi felt puzzled.
Moreover, Xiao Yi still couldn’t really see through Shui Ninghan’s depth.
He always felt that Shui Ninghan hadn’t yet shown his full strength.
Just like last time during the grand competition at Dongli Sword Palace, he didn’t want to waste time and directly blew Shui Ninghan off the Martial Arts Arena, causing him to lose.
At that time, Shui Ninghan hadn’t been able to fully exert his strength before losing.
This time was the same.
If Xiao Yi hadn’t suddenly struck, catching Shui Ninghan off guard, Shui Ninghan’s explosive power could have been quite terrifying.
If he’s right, Shui Ninghan’s means are definitely not just limited to those.
A real fight to the death would certainly be a difficult battle.
Also, since he hasn’t seen through Shui Ninghan’s depth yet, he decided not to mention Shui Ninghan to Murong Lingyun and Su Cheng.
Xiao Yi frowned and squinted again.
After a while, more than 90% of the internal injuries had recovered.
Xiao Yi stood up, and the remaining injuries could gradually heal while traveling.
Swish... Xiao Yi flew away, controlling the air.
The direction was towards the Illusion Light Dangerous Land.
His Soul Power in the Small World was exhausted, so it was better to go to the Illusion Light Cave Mansion to replenish the empty Soul Power.
Judging by the time, tonight is once again the night of the full moon.
...
A million miles away, over an hour before.
Murong Lingyun watched Xiao Yi fly off into the distance, pouting, "That guy, we saved his life, yet he didn’t even give us a word of thanks."
Su Cheng nearby chuckled, "If I’m not mistaken, he probably had a way to deal with those two evil cultivators on his own."
"Rather, our assistance might have been unnecessary meddling, disturbing him instead."
"If I’m right, he’s most likely flying away with his injured body to heal himself."
"Alright, let’s stop talking about him. Back to you, weren’t you planning to visit the Shaking Star Dangerous Land? Let’s go."
