Lin Mo's entire body was soaked in blood, his form covered in wounds, too grisly to look upon directly.
If it had been anyone else, they likely would have died amidst the Space Storm, but Lin Mo was just barely hanging on due to his cultivation of the Golden Skin and Yang Wood Divine Skill to Great Success.
At that moment, Lin Mo was still clinging to a weak breath.
"Lin Mo..."
Xia Mengdie looked at Lin Mo in this state, her tears falling in large drops, her heart filled with guilt.
If not for her, Lin Mo would not have ended up like this.
Suddenly, from the ring in Xia Mengdie's hand, a milky white light shone forth, landing on the stone ground beside her, and an adorable, fluffy snow ferret appeared on the spot.
"Snow ferret, how did you come out?" Xia Mengdie was taken aback for a moment; the snow ferret had been resting inside the Space Ring for months, so why had it suddenly come out?
"Such rich Spiritual Energy, staying in the Space Ring really was suffocating me."
The snow ferret combed its fur with its soft paws and suddenly yawned, speaking in human language.
Amidst her astonishment, Xia Mengdie's face was covered in surprise, "You, how can you speak?"
"Master," the snow ferret with its two glossy black eyes looked at Xia Mengdie.
"I've made a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, naturally I can speak now," said the snow ferret.
Although Xia Mengdie was astonished, she was after all a cultivator, and naturally knew of the existence of the Demon Clan. After her initial amazement, she was no longer shocked.
At this time, the snow ferret looked at Lin Mo, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and said, "What happened to little Mo Master?"
"You know him too?" Xia Mengdie pursed her thin lips.
The snow ferret had been with her from the start and had never seen Lin Mo. How could it know Lin Mo?
With this thought, Xia Mengdie suddenly started to realize the words spoken by Lin Mo, that she was indeed Lin Mo's wife. It was just that she had forgotten that part of her memories from before.
"Of course, I know him. Wasn't it he who gave you that ring? So even when I was not yet awakened, I knew about your affair. Little Mo Master's injuries are severe; we must heal him," the snow ferret said.
Returning to her senses, Xia Mengdie nodded while looking at Lin Mo lying on the ground. The matter of the memories could be discussed later, but right now, they needed to heal Lin Mo, and besides, she had not yet ascertained where she currently was.
She also couldn't be certain whether this mysterious place held any dangers. With that in mind, Xia Mengdie carried Lin Mo on her back and started walking forward; they needed to find a place to settle down.
Carrying Lin Mo, whose body was covered in blood, with the snow ferret beside her, Xia Mengdie walked on. After about a kilometer, they finally found a forest, and in the forest stood a wooden house.
"Is anybody there?"
Xia Mengdie stood at the entrance of the wooden house, calling out softly, but no one responded inside.
After hesitating for a moment, she pushed the door open, the hinges creaking. The small wooden house contained only a bed, a table, and a green lamp, and was filled with cobwebs; the table was also covered in dust.
This place seemed to have not been inhabited for a long time.
Xia Mengdie cleaned up the bed a bit and then laid Lin Mo upon the bedstead.
Xia Mengdie realized when she tried to heal Lin Mo's injuries that her own meridians were in disarray, utterly unable to muster any Spiritual Energy.
"Master, I'll heal Xiao Mo's injuries first, you should practice your divine skill to recover a bit. The Spiritual Energy here is very rich, you should be able to recover quickly," the marten spoke at this moment.
Xia Mengdie nodded her head, as there was no other choice at the moment.
The marten stood on the bed, opened its mouth, and spat out a milky-white bead, emitting a warm white glow. Immediately, this light fell upon Lin Mo's body, using Spiritual Energy to help Lin Mo recover his damaged body, meridians, and Divine Sense.
Xia Mengdie also sat cross-legged to the side, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate for recovery.
Just as the marten had said, the place was filled with a rich and ample supply of Spiritual Energy, almost dozens of times higher than inside the Miao Xue Divine Palace. To a Cultivator, arriving here was like a fish returning to the sea, a sense of kinship coming from the depths of the heart.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Xia Mengdie awoke from her meditative state. When she woke, she found Lin Mo lying on the bed resting, and from his nostrils emanated a faint breath, showing a hint of vitality.
Yet, this sliver of vitality remained exceedingly weak, a slight mishap could possibly lead to Lin Mo's demise.
"Where did the marten go?"
Xia Mengdie stood up, her eyes scanning the wooden house, but she could not find the marten anywhere.
Just then, the marten jumped in from the doorway, cradling three red fruits in its embrace.
"Master, these are the fruits I picked, they contain strong Spiritual Energy, they must be Immortal Fruits," the marten spoke.
Xia Mengdie took one of the fruits in hand, indeed feeling the rich presence of Spiritual Energy within it.
"Can this place truly be the legendary Immortal City? Otherwise, neither the mundane world nor the Heavenly Sect could possibly produce such fruit," Xia Mengdie thought with a slight shock.
With that in mind, Xia Mengdie crushed the red fruit in her hand, found a leaf outside to scoop up some clean water, and fed the mashed fruit into Lin Mo's mouth.
"Master, Xiao Mo's injuries are more severe than I had imagined. However, now his life has been preserved, but when he will awaken, we do not know. Nevertheless, we can search for some medicinal herbs outside, see if we can concoct some Elixirs," the marten said.
"Hm, that's all we can do for now."
Xia Mengdie nodded, her clear eyes taking a deep glance at Lin Mo, then she and the marten left.
According to the marten, they could move about freely in the nearby area, where there were mountains and springs, but venturing deeper seemed to be blocked by an Array Barrier, preventing them from entering.
However, within their current area, there were many medicinal herbs and Immortal Fruits that were hundreds of years old.
"This must be the Immortal City; otherwise, no place would have so many Spirit Grasses and Immortal Fruits,"
Xia Mengdie was certain in her heart that she and Lin Mo had indeed entered the Immortal City.
In the Miao Xue Divine Palace, she often visited the Medicine Garden to chat with Aunt Mei and naturally learned a lot about medicinal herbs. Some extremely precious Divine Grasses and Immortal Fruits that were recorded were growing here as common as weeds.
Even more astonishing were the Divine Grasses and Immortal Fruits which Xia Mengdie had never even heard of.
"Bitter Nether Fruit, Danqing Flower, Nine Bird Fruit, Phantom Herb..."
Different from her, the marten seemed to know these medicinal herbs and Immortal Fruits intimately, as if recognizing them all.
"With these ingredients, we can concoct the Golden Yuan Pill to help Xiao Mo recover from his injuries," the marten showed a delighted expression.
Xia Mengdie looked at it, surprised, "You know how to perform Alchemy?"
