The Immortal Fire

Chapter 39: Hu Xian, Wei Ziyou and the Demon Hunt

After cleaning and bandaging all the wounds of the girl, Liu Ying sat himself tired and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Girl, what's your name?" Liu Ying glanced at the bandage that wrapped some parts of the girl's body.

For a moment the girl fell silent like she was not going to answer Liu Ying's question.

"Seeing from the form, who's out fighting with so that they get this strange, terrible wound?" asked Liu Ying who was slightly astonished by the peculiarity of his wound.

Unlike sword scratches and other weapons, it was like a giant claw that formed a two-claw pattern. What kind of beast has two claws on one leg? It's obviously just one leg and nothing more.

The girl gave a probing look. "I am Wei Ziyou, originally from the Silver River sect, Xian Gege of the Whistling Spear sect."

"We were supposed to travel to Xiliang Jing. But on the way, we meet a village whose entire population is threatened by a Demon attack. Incidentally, we are also looking for seven Demon gems to help increase my cultivation level. Me and Xian Gege were thinking of petrifying the population to overcome the terror as well as intending to take out the Demon Gems, we came to the nest of a Black Tiger Demon about six hundred years old."

Wei Ziyou paused for a moment before continuing. "Our ability is not so high. Yet somehow, Xian Gege was able to subvert him even though he was already in the remnants of his strength."

Liu Ying sank with his own thoughts. "Black Tiger Smiles?"

Liu Ying recalled that Zhou Li had said something about the Demon and its spiritual jewels. If not mistaken, the Demon Spiritual gem was extremely valuable in the martial world.

A single five hundred year old stealth gem was at least equivalent to five inner power circles, a stealth gem of that age was the smallest and usually valued at thirty gold pieces.

Liu Ying was just thinking about how to get a financial addition that was dwindling, he seemed like he had just gotten a brilliant idea.

"Hunting Demon, is your main goal the Forest of Death?"

Wei Ziyou nodded. "Fifty kilometers to the south, passing through Xi Liangjing District. We were sent by the sect to collect seven stealth gems as a level-up test."

"This trip is very risky. If it wasn't for me being weak, maybe Xian Gege wouldn't have sacrificed himself to get those stealth gems, everything he did so that I could level up." Wei Ziyou looked extremely guilty, there was regret in every single sentence he spouted.

The girl explained that if this year she did not get an upgrade, then she could not inherit the Silver River sect. His father also continued to insist that he surpass at least two levels in the near future, he might be able to be appointed a potential heir.

"Listening to your story, I was slightly reminded of the atmosphere of my sect," Liu Ying joked as he embraced Wei Ziyou beside him.

The girl became a little excited as Liu Ying offended her sect chapter. "It turns out you're also from college, tell me which sect you're from?"

"Golden Lotus Sect. But unlike you, I never even thought of coming back again."

Liu Ying smilingly looked at the somewhat dusty floor. "Actually our fate is almost the same. My grandfather was a sect head who liked to curb and coerce, he even intended to send me to devote my entire life in the temple for good. Fortunately fate was on my side, until I finally was able to break free from that cursed prison."

"Not coming back?!" pekik Wei Ziyou was shocked.

"So, where's your goal now? Are you looking for another college to join?" tanyanya.

"For now, my only purpose is to investigate my parents' deaths" he said briefly.

Liu Ying had no intention of saying about seeking information to release his meridian seal, to him it was a small secret that might not be necessary.

"But I was just thinking about my financial problems." Liu Ying paused for a moment before continuing. "Can I join the Demon Hunt with you?"

Wei Ziyou looked deeply at Liu Ying, thinking that why did the girl before him not think at all about life and death?

Wei Ziyou cleared his throat. "It's not okay, but I'm also just thinking of cancelling this trip. Xian Gege had already suffered quite badly, I began to assume that being an heir was not something to be obligated."

Liu Ying snorted desperately to find that answer. Though he had just hoped, he had never met or seen firsthand how powerful the Demon that Zhou Li had often told him.

"So you're just gonna stop in the middle of the road?" tympanic Liu Ying lethargic.

While Wei Ziyou was just shuffling her shoulders, Liu Ying bailed to let the girl rest. Wei Ziyou's trauma slowly recovered, he was already able to calm down.

"Call me if you need anything" he said before disappearing from behind the room.

Liu Ying thrust his foot towards his room, intending to meditate and practice all the contents of the Book of Soul Cleansing given by Zhou Li, he slowly began to relax and feel at peace.

The Qi in the area was not very thin, but Liu Ying still could not absorb it at all. Right what Zheng Tian had said, The seal had completely sealed off almost the entirety of his meridians.

Even in gathering inner strength alone, Liu Ying had to consume double the resources that normal people generally use. Fortunately during his time in the Sect, Xi Guan did not have much issue regarding the amount of resources Liu Ying spent.

"I felt it, but could not reach it at all," Liu Ying muttered softly as he stared fixedly at the shabby sheet before him.

He could feel something hot behind his ribs, he didn't know what or why it was like there was a living there.

'let go. Like water flowing without a hitch, like a breath of calm without a burden.'

That one sentence printed in a slightly different writing style than the other, was written in red ink and looked smaller than the other letters. Those words flashed in Liu Ying's mind, making it seem like he understood one thing.

"Let go, huh?" murmured Liu Ying slowly.

He began to gather his concentration allowing the energy contained within his body to flow and roil in his meridians. It seemed to flow perfectly, yet it was completely unable to get out.

Liu Ying's forehead had already begun to be drenched in sweat, yet still he could not let out that enormous-tasting energy. It felt impossible, Liu Ying could only expend a small amount of profound energy long ago. But that turbulent energy could not come out at all.

If studied again, it should have the same way out as Liu Ying's inner power exit. The girl also did not know for sure what kind of energy had been stuck and stuck in there.
