Chapter 172 The Soul-Restoring Grass is Obtained

Chen Yu sat cross-legged, his true energy flowing slowly in his body, like a trickle of water moistening the dry land.

The spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring is indeed abundant, and the true energy just consumed is recovering rapidly.

He felt the power filling his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Nangong Lie, I guess his stomach is aching like crazy right now."

Chen Yu was secretly proud of himself, thinking about whether he should refine some more "diarrhea pills" after leaving the secret realm. Maybe they could come in handy.

He opened his eyes and looked around. Lin Qingxue was still immersed in her cultivation, surrounded by a thick icy mist, like a goddess of ice and snow.

Liu Ruyan was by the fire spring, her red figure looking even more charming and attractive against the flickering flames.

Tie Niu was still soaking in the ice spring, growling from time to time. It was unclear whether he was really feeling comfortable or just holding on.

Shangguan Wan'er was wrapped in two thick cloaks, curled up in the corner, her face still pale and her breathing a little rapid.

"This girl is really weak." Chen Yu thought to himself, stood up and walked to Shangguan Wan'er.

He bent down and reached out to touch Shangguan Wan'er's forehead. It was cold, as if he was touching a piece of ice.

"Wan'er, how do you feel? Are you still cold?" Chen Yu asked softly.

Shangguan Wan'er slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was Chen Yu. She forced a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm fine. I'm just a little cold."

Her voice was very soft, like the humming of a mosquito.

"If you're cold, just say so. Don't force yourself." Chen Yu said as he pulled out a strangely shaped metal box from his cloth bag and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er. "Here, take this."

Shangguan Wan'er took the box with a puzzled look on her face: "What is this?"

"The hot pack, if you stick it on your body, will keep you warm all day long." Chen Yu explained, "This is a treasure I brought from my hometown. I wouldn't be willing to give it to anyone else."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the metal box in her hand, which was printed with some patterns and words that she could not understand.

She gently tore open the package and took out the heating pad inside. A faint fragrance wafted out.

She stuck the heat pack on her clothes, and a warm current came from the patch, instantly dispelling the coldness on her body.

"How amazing!" Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes wide in surprise, "It really has become warmer!

Mr. Chen, thank you."

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Chen Yu waved his hand, took out a bottle of hot drink from his cloth bag, and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er, "Here, drink something hot to warm yourself up."

Shangguan Wan'er took the hot drink and drank it in small sips, and a hint of color gradually returned to her face.

Chen Yu looked at Shangguan Wan'er, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He returned to his seat and continued to practice.

After a while, he felt that the true energy in his body had fully recovered, so he stopped practicing.

He took out two jade bottles from his cloth bag and prepared to collect the fire spring water.

He walked to the fire spring and a wave of heat hit his face, making him feel like he was in a sauna.

He took a deep breath, practiced his skills, mobilized the true energy in his body, and condensed the true energy into an invisible big hand, wrapping a jade bottle.

He carefully controlled his Qi hand and slowly extended the jade bottle towards the fire spring.

As the jade bottle approached the fire spring, the temperature became higher and higher, and Chen Yu felt that his true energy was being consumed rapidly.

"Damn, the temperature is too high!" Chen Yu gritted his teeth and desperately output his true energy, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

Finally, the jade bottle touched the fire spring water. With a soft "sizzle" sound, a puff of white smoke emerged from the jade bottle.

Chen Yu quickly controlled the jade bottle away from the fire spring and carefully checked the jade bottle. He found that the jade bottle was not damaged, but the bottle body was a little hot.

He breathed a sigh of relief and once again controlled the jade bottle to enter the fire spring. This time, he was more careful and controlled the jade bottle to collect only a small amount of fire spring water.

After collecting the fire spring water, Chen Yu immediately controlled the jade bottle to fly back to him.

He pulled out the cork and a gust of hot air hit his face, making him feel like his face was about to be burnt.

He quickly put the cork on the bottle and put the jade bottle into the cloth bag.

"Huh..." Chen Yu let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Getting the fire spring water is even more tiring than taking a bath in the ice spring."

He looked at the two jade bottles in the cloth bag. One contained ice-blue spring water, and the other contained fiery red spring water. The two colors were completely different, yet they coexisted in a strange harmony.

"Next, it's the Soul-Returning Grass." Chen Yu's gaze turned to the Soul-Returning Grass that was emitting a faint white light.

He walked to the side of the soul-returning grass, squatted down and observed it carefully.

The soul-returning grass is crystal clear all over, exuding a faint fragrance, and emitting a soft light in the dim cave, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

There are still a few drops of crystal dew on the leaves, which reflect colorful light under the sunlight.

Chen Yu carefully opened the stoppers of the two jade bottles, poured out a drop of ice spring water and fire spring water respectively, and dripped them onto the roots of the soul-returning grass.

The moment the two drops of spring water came into contact with the soul-returning grass, something magical happened.

The soul-returning grass emitted a dazzling white light, which became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

Chen Yu subconsciously closed his eyes and shielded his eyes from the bright light with his hands. A buzzing sound came from his ears, as if something was growing rapidly.

After a while, the bright light gradually faded. Chen Yu opened his eyes and found that the Soul-Returning Grass had undergone a huge change.

The soul-returning grass, which was originally only the size of a palm, has now grown to more than a foot tall, with lush branches and leaves, exuding a rich spiritual energy.

"This...this is too magical!" Chen Yu exclaimed. The growth rate of this Soul-Returning Grass is too fast!

He carefully pulled up the soul-returning grass by its roots and placed it in a jade box prepared in advance.

"Finally got it!" Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face.

He stood up, stretched, and was about to ask others to leave when he suddenly heard a few light footsteps behind him.

He turned his head alertly and saw Lin Qingxue, Shangguan Wan'er and a woman he didn't know walking towards him.

The woman was wearing a lavender long dress, with a beautiful and refined appearance and elegant temperament. She held a white jade pipa in her hand and walked with light steps, like a fairy descending to earth.

"Who is this?" Chen Yu looked at Shangguan Wan'er in confusion.

Shangguan Wan'er quickly introduced, "Mr. Chen, this is Miss Luo Li, she's... my friend."

Luo Li smiled slightly and nodded towards Chen Yu as a greeting.

Her voice was clear and melodious, like the chirping of an oriole: "My humble self is Luo Li, and I am honored to meet Master Chen."

Chen Yu also quickly returned the greeting: "Nice to meet you, Miss Luo Li."

Lin Qingxue walked to Chen Yu and asked with concern: "Chen Yu, are you okay?

Why are you soaked all over?"

Chen Yu then remembered that he had just taken a bath in the ice spring and his clothes were not yet dry.

He quickly explained, "It's okay, it's okay. I accidentally fell into the ice spring just now. I took a cold shower to wake myself up."

Shangguan Wan'er and Luo Li couldn't help but chuckle when they heard Chen Yu's explanation.

Shangguan Wan'er jokingly said, "Master Chen, this Yin-Yang Spring of Ice and Fire is not a place for bathing. Be careful not to freeze yourself."

Luo Li also said: "Yes, Mr. Chen, please be careful next time."

Her tone was gentle, and her eyes held a hint of concern.

Chen Yu smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get out of here quickly. This place is gloomy and it will make us uncomfortable if we stay here for too long."

Lin Qingxue nodded in agreement. Shangguan Wan'er and Luo Li also had no objections.

The four of them walked towards the cave entrance together. On the way, Chen Yu secretly observed Luo Li, wondering about the background of this woman who suddenly appeared.

She doesn't look like a bad person, but she gives people a mysterious feeling.

When he reached the cave entrance, Chen Yu suddenly stopped. He looked back at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, feeling a little reluctant.

Although this place is dangerous, it is also full of opportunities. Maybe I will have the chance to explore it again in the future.

"Let's go." Lin Qingxue's voice interrupted Chen Yu's thoughts.

Chen Yu came to his senses and walked out of the cave with Lin Qingxue, Shangguan Wan'er and Luo Li.
