With a 'whoosh,' the severed arm miraculously flew back to Ye Fan's shoulder!
At the joint, new flesh and muscle tissue began to sprout.
Within just a few breaths, all the tissues were perfectly reconnected!
Finally, even the skin grew back!
On the smooth skin, there was no trace of any injury.
Ye Fan's pale face, caused by excessive blood loss, also visibly regained its rosy hue!
At this moment, Ye Fan looked no different from someone asleep!
This scene once again left all the female cultivators stunned!
A severed arm reattached itself, and even healed itself?
Not only had they never seen anything like it,
but they had never even heard of such a thing before!
Was this still human?
Could this Ye Fan be some kind of gecko spirit...
Recovering their senses, Liang Rujing quickly went to help the fallen Ye Fan.
They needed to get him inside first; lying outside wasn't an option.
However, the moment she touched Ye Fan, her expression changed.
Ice cold and stiff...
...
After an unknown amount of time.
Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes.
"You're awake?" Liang Rujing, who was sitting by the bedside, was immediately overjoyed and helped Ye Fan sit up.
"Where is this?" Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Ye Fan instinctively asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"This is the Qingxin Sect's outpost, my room." Liang Rujing quickly handed him a cup of hot water, "You've been unconscious for seven days."
During these seven days, she had sought help from many people to examine Ye Fan, but all of them stated that Ye Fan's body had no problems, and he was merely sleeping.
For the past seven days, Ye Fan's body would become ice cold and stiff for a period each day. Liang Rujing had gradually gotten used to it and was no longer as panicked as she was at the beginning.
Although she never understood why this was happening, as long as Ye Fan was fine, it didn't matter.
"Seven days..." Ye Fan took the cup, muttering.
In that moment, his fragmented memories pieced together.
He had encountered a beast tide on his way back, and his arm had been torn off.
He knew how to refine pills for regenerating severed limbs, but the materials were rare and hard to come by, and it was uncertain if he could find them in the future.
The thought of becoming a one-armed hero in the future left Ye Fan feeling uneasy.
Just as he thought this, he froze...
Because he realized that the hand holding the cup was his right hand!
"My hand wasn't...?"
He remembered that after his right hand had killed the demonic beast, it had simply fallen to the side.
How had it returned to his body now?
"After you fainted, your arm just... by itself..."
Liang Rujing looked at Ye Fan with a strange expression and recounted what had happened afterward.
Even though seven days had passed, every time she thought about it, she found it incredibly bizarre.
Fortunately, she had been cautious and asked the fellow disciples present to keep the matter a secret.
Although he was a bit simple and naive, he knew that if this news got out, it would cause a massive uproar.
It would bring Ye Fan a lot of trouble!
"How are you feeling now?" Liang Rujing asked worriedly, "Do you feel anything is wrong?"
"I don't feel anything is wrong." Ye Fan curiously moved his right arm, "It's no different from before."
After hearing Liang Rujing's story, he was completely bewildered.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected Liang Rujing was tricking him.
His arm had simply grown back without him doing anything. This was utterly unbelievable!
It wasn't that he didn't believe in the concept of limb regeneration.
In fact, once one's cultivation reached a certain level, it was possible.
For example, at the God King realm, as long as the divine soul was intact, the physical body could indeed regenerate.
Although regeneration came at a cost, it was at least feasible.
But the problem was, he wasn't a God King now, was he?
It seemed like it had to be something related to his own body...
Damn it!
What was wrong with his body?
Although the changes that had manifested so far seemed good, even to the point of such a bizarre limb regeneration.
However, without understanding what was going on, Ye Fan felt a constant unease...
He strongly disliked the feeling of not being in control of such matters!
"During these days of unconsciousness, did my body turn stiff again?" he asked, recalling something.
"It happened every day, and the duration varied." Liang Rujing replied truthfully.
Ye Fan nodded and didn't ask further.
"Right, these are for you." Liang Rujing said this and took out a few demon cores from her spatial ring, "The previous demonic beasts were all blown to pieces, only these demon cores were left."
"Thanks." Ye Fan didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the demon cores, putting them away.
He was in dire need of 'ammunition' right now, and these were quite useful.
The thought of his carefully stored advanced bullet being gone just like that made Ye Fan's heart ache.
If he encountered an enemy at the Nascent Soul stage again, he would have no choice but to stare helplessly...
"Grumble."
Ye Fan's stomach suddenly growled.
That terrifying hunger had returned!
"I'll go arrange for food to be prepared immediately." Liang Rujing gestured and began sending messages using a communication jade.
Ye Fan, naturally, couldn't wait. He took out roasted meat from his spatial ring and began to eat.
For the next period, Liang Rujing spent her time in shock!
Good heavens!
This was incredibly prodigious eating!
In less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ye Fan had consumed an amount of food several times his body weight!
How...
How did he do it...?
By the time the food was delivered, Ye Fan had already eaten six to seven hundred pounds of food!
Then Ye Fan picked up his chopsticks and continued to devour it...
A few minutes later.
Ye Fan patted his stomach with satisfaction.
He was finally full...
"Ye Fan, tell me honestly," Liang Rujing said with a gossip-like tone, "Are you really a gecko spirit? Otherwise, why would your arm grow back by itself, and why can you eat so much?"
As she spoke, Liang Rujing curiously poked Ye Fan's stomach.
"Where did all that food go?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a gecko spirit." Ye Fan was too lazy to explain anymore.
After all, he himself didn't understand what was happening...
"By the way, about that box you mentioned earlier?" After eating his fill, Ye Fan got down to business.
"It's with Elder Bu." Liang Rujing pulled Ye Fan along, "Let's go find her right away."
As they walked, Ye Fan noticed that the Qingxin Sect was quite peculiar.
All the disciples here were women, not a single trace of a man could be seen.
Ye Fan's appearance as a man immediately drew the attention of the Qingxin Sect disciples.
They kept glancing over, their eyes flashing with excitement...
Before long, the two arrived at Elder Bu's residence.
Bu Wanxiao's residence had many spirit fields planted with various herbs.
However, limited by the overall environment, the highest grade herbs were only six-tier.
"Elder Bu is skilled in planting and cultivation techniques. Most of the sect's herbs are managed by her," Liang Rujing explained when she saw Ye Fan looking at the spirit fields.
As a sect elder, Bu Wanxiao's residence was naturally not small.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, they stopped by a spirit field.
Bu Wanxiao was currently squatting by the spirit field, busy with something. Hearing footsteps, she finally looked up.
"Elder Bu, long time no see." Upon seeing Bu Wanxiao, Ye Fan politely greeted her.
"Young Master Ye is awake?"
Bu Wanxiao awkwardly clapped the dirt off her hands and quickly led them inside.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ye Fan got straight to the point.
"Ru Jing mentioned that you were stumped by a box. Would it be convenient for me to take a look?"
"You're talking about this?" Bu Wanxiao said, retrieving a square box from her spatial ring, "Don't even mention it. We tried all sorts of methods before, but we couldn't open the box. We were afraid of damaging whatever was inside if we tried to force it open, so we set it aside."
The box was about a foot long, wide, and tall.
Ye Fan took the box and examined it for a moment, then suddenly understood.
No wonder.
This was actually a Myriad Talisman Box!
