Lei Qianjiao replied truthfully, "Because I gave you the Huiming Tian Dan, I was able to save you at the critical moment."
"Otherwise, in that situation, there would truly be no other way."
"Huiming Tian Dan?!" Upon hearing Lei Qianjiao's words, Wu Tian was greatly startled.
He clearly knew what the Huiming Tian Dan was, and was exceptionally shocked at this moment, "No way, how do you have that thing?"
The Huiming Tian Dan was an absolute rare treasure, rumored to be a divine medicine capable of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh and bone.
Although the rumors were somewhat exaggerated, in reality, as long as there was a sliver of life left, it could bring a person back.
No wonder Wu Tian had felt that his breath was already fading, yet a powerful life force suddenly erupted within him, pulling him back from the brink.
So this was the reason all along!
As for Lei Qianjiao's actions, Wu Tian's feelings could only be described as disbelief.
This item was simply too precious; if he had one, he would undoubtedly treasure it meticulously.
But how long had they known each other? Lei Qianjiao was actually willing to give it to him to consume. This was too kind, wasn't it?
Seeing Wu Tian's shocked expression, Lei Qianjiao merely smiled slightly, "Don't be so agitated. This Huiming Tian Dan was a gift from the Sect Master when I first became the Saintess. It was originally for my emergency use."
"But you were almost dead at that time, so of course, I had to give it to you."
"Otherwise, I couldn't just watch you die before my eyes, could I?"
Wu Tian still found it hard to believe and said, "No, why are you being so good to me? Don't you feel any heartache?"
Lei Qianjiao shook her head, "At that time, I couldn't consider so much. At least at that moment, I felt your life was more precious than the Huiming Tian Dan."
Wu Tian fell silent. To be honest, if their positions were reversed, he would have done the same, but he would definitely have felt a pang of regret.
Yet Lei Qianjiao's expression seemed so natural, completely without any reluctance.
This indicated that Lei Qianjiao had no regrets about this matter and genuinely believed that he was more valuable than the Huiming Tian Dan.
Such a sacrifice made Wu Tian feel exceptionally moved.
From this moment on, Lei Qianjiao's status in his heart rose to a considerably high level.
It seemed he truly owed Lei Qianjiao too much...
With this thought, Wu Tian's expression turned serious, and he looked directly at Lei Qianjiao, saying, "Thank you. Don't worry, I won't let your kindness go to waste. I will definitely take responsibility for you."
"Ah?!" Hearing Wu Tian suddenly say such a thing, Lei Qianjiao was terribly startled, and her pretty face immediately turned crimson.
She stammered, "No, you you you, what are you talking about? What responsibility?"
Wu Tian also realized his words were ambiguous, so he changed his tune and said, "No, no, no, I misspoke. Don't misunderstand. I mean, if you ever have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."
"Even if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate in the slightest!"
Seeing Wu Tian's serious expression, Lei Qianjiao also felt the sincerity from Wu Tian.
She felt her cheeks grow even hotter and couldn't help but turn her head away, muttering, "Alright, alright, don't tell me these things."
"Honestly, our relationship was so bad at the beginning, who would have thought it would turn out like this now."
Wu Tian smiled faintly and then said to Lei Qianjiao, "Alright, since my body has recovered, let me heal your injuries."
"Although my immortal energy may not be as effective as the Huiming Tian Dan, it should have no problem treating these wounds."
"What did you say?" Lei Qianjiao was surprised and asked in astonishment, "No, why does your immortal energy have healing effects?"
"I've only heard that people from the Divine Doctor Sect have such special immortal energy. Are you actually from the Divine Doctor Sect?"
Wu Tian was not interested in discussing this with Lei Qianjiao. He shook his head, "Alright, alright, can't I have a little secret? Just sit still obediently, and leave the rest to me."
Hearing Wu Tian say this, Lei Qianjiao didn't ask further. She sat down obediently and let Wu Tian inject his immortal energy into her.
As Lei Qianjiao's injuries were not light, this healing process took quite some effort.
When the treatment was finished, Wu Tian stood up and said, "Alright, you're completely fine now. Try moving around."
Lei Qianjiao moved hesitantly and found that her body was indeed fine.
She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Wow, your immortal energy really has this effect?"
"It seems I've discovered another secret of yours."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "What secret? It's just that there hasn't been an opportunity to use it before."
Speaking of this, he didn't want Lei Qianjiao to bring up the Divine Doctor Sect again, so he turned his gaze to the stone platform and said,
"Since the greatest crisis has been resolved and your body has completely recovered, it's time for the main event."
"Today, I want to see what exactly is inside that box that such a powerful spirit beast is guarding."
Lei Qianjiao was also very curious about this. After all, they had suffered so much and almost died here for that item.
Regardless, they were determined to see what was inside the box.
"Okay, I want to see it too," Lei Qianjiao nodded and said.
The two walked to the stone platform and found that the wooden box on it looked very ancient, indicating it had been through a long period of time.
They exchanged a glance, then nodded to each other. Wu Tian reached out and opened the box.
Both of them had originally expected that such a treasure, upon reappearing, would surely produce some peculiar reaction, such as emitting a brilliant light.
For this reason, they had even condensed their immortal energy, fearing any unexpected events.
But the imagined scenario did not happen. In fact, the entire process was unremarkable, with no cause for surprise.
Such quietness, however, made them both feel a deep sense of doubt.
What was going on? Could it be that there was nothing inside this box?
If that were the case, wouldn't they have been tricked?
With these doubts, their gazes soon fell upon the contents of the box.
