However, even with Yizhixie's attitude, Shen Xiaoyan didn't really take it to heart.
She understood that Yizhixie said this to lighten the mood, and Shen Xiaoyan was not willing to deny this at all.
But even so, Shen Xiaoyan didn't really feel at ease.
Because not only was she being watched intently by the anxious Namu Zhong, but also Yizhixie's eyes were flashing with brilliance.
When it comes to one's own life and death, there are probably few people who can remain as steady as Mount Tai, right?
"Without further ado, to avoid prolonged complications, we will begin tonight."
Upon hearing this, Namu Zhong let out a long sigh, his face full of joy.
Although he had believed Shen Xiaoyan's words just now, he still hoped for the best.
He understood the principle of "prolonged complications."
If he could get his injuries healed sooner, he could also focus on his cultivation with peace of mind.
"Since that's the case, you should go back and rest first."
When Shen Xiaoyan said this, Namu Zhong wished he could pick up Yizhixie and carry him on his back, so as to slightly alleviate his tension and anticipation.
Fortunately, he remembered to consider Yizhixie's dignity, so this thought only flashed in his mind and was not acted upon.
After Namu Zhong helped Yizhixie away, Shen Xiaoyan and the other two let out silent laughter.
This was truly a case of "concern clouds judgment."
Although Yizhixie had been injured for a hundred years, he was currently still at the ninth grade of the Immortal God Mirror. Was it really necessary to help him walk like that?
Even so, Shen Xiaoyan knew that if it were her, she would probably do the same.
After all, the person in front of her was someone she cherished more than her own life.
Time flew by, and it was already evening.
After dinner, Lu Taobao was assigned his task… looking after Ruanruan and the others.
Although Ruanruan and the others were not like two-year-old children now, their bodies were still like those of children. Without someone watching them, Shen Xiaoyan couldn't feel at ease.
As for Shen Xiaoyan and the others, they were all in a sealed room.
There was a large tub in the room, and steam was rising from the top of the tub.
If anyone were to peek inside at this moment, they would definitely notice that the reason for so much steam rising was that the liquid in the tub was bubbling and gurgling.
Yizhixie walked to the edge of the tub at this moment.
As soon as he entered the room, he felt the spiritual energy was extremely dense; the spiritual energy in the air was almost about to materialize.
But when he reached the edge of the tub, he realized what true density was. With just a gentle breath, he felt refreshed all over, as if his cultivation had advanced another level.
This feeling made a smile involuntarily appear on his face.
However, this smile completely froze on his face the moment he looked down.
For no other reason than that he saw the water churning in the tub.
The water was actually milky white, emitting an endless fragrance and spiritual energy.
Yizhixie looked down carefully for a moment, and exclaimed, "This is immortal spring water."
Shen Xiaoyan nodded, "That's right."
Only then did Yizhixie truly begin to believe Shen Xiaoyan's words about being able to heal him.
To be able to produce so much immortal spring water without batting an eye, based on this alone, there was no need to doubt anything else.
While Yizhixie was still lost in thought, Zheng Wei came to his side, "What are you spacing out for? Time is precious, hurry up and take off your clothes and jump in."
"Take off my clothes?"
Yizhixie was surprised. Shen Xiaoyan was still here, how could he take off his clothes?
As soon as he thought this, he realized he was the only one in the room with Zheng Wei, "Where are they?"
He was naturally referring to Namu Zhong and Shen Xiaoyan.
Zheng Wei gestured towards the door with his eyes, "They are just outside. The night is getting cold. If you don't want them to suffer outside, it's best to take off your clothes quickly."
Yizhixie broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. Why did Zheng Wei's words sound so wrong?
However, looking at the bubbling tub, Yizhixie suddenly felt his scalp tingle. If he jumped in like this, would he really be cooked alive?
Seeing Yizhixie's hesitation, Zheng Wei's lips curved slightly, "You won't, will you? Are you scared?"
Yizhixie's old face blushed upon hearing this but instantly returned to normal. He said stubbornly, "How could I be scared? Back then, I braved mountains of knives and seas of fire in the Sheng Ling Great Continent."
Zheng Wei raised his eyebrows, "Then it's settled. Is this tub of immortal spring water, in your opinion, more difficult than those mountains of knives and seas of fire?"
Hearing this, Yizhixie finally understood what it felt like to lift a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
He slapped his own mouth hard, secretly thinking, "You silly mouth, always talking nonsense."
Despite this, he still undressed quickly and efficiently.
He really didn't want to lose face in front of Zheng Wei, although he had already lost quite a bit of it with his previous hesitation.
Although Yizhixie had already stripped naked, he didn't jump in directly. He still tested the waters slightly, reaching out his hand to touch the immortal spring water inside.
The moment his hand touched the immortal spring water, Yizhixie's expression became indescribable.
Seeing that he was still dazed, Zheng Wei simply kicked him in.
Yizhixie was caught off guard and was kicked from behind by Zheng Wei, falling in headfirst.
The moment he fell into the tub, Yizhixie instinctively thrashed a few times. When his head finally emerged from the water, he let out a long sigh.
"Damn it, Zheng Wei, are you trying to die?"
Yizhixie gasped, his words full of exasperation.
Zheng Wei remained unfazed, saying indifferently, "I think you're the one who wants to die. You have a chance to be cured, and you're still dawdling. What are you waiting for?"
Yizhixie wanted to say he wanted to take his time.
But the words got stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back. Since he was already in, what else was there to say?
Zheng Wei also called out loudly towards the door, "Alright, you can come in now."
As soon as he spoke, the door was pushed open. Namu Zhong entered first, followed slowly by Shen Xiaoyan.
When the two of them walked to the side of the tub and saw Yizhixie's hair plastered wetly to his head, they couldn't help but laugh.
"How did it become like this?"
Zheng Wei shrugged helplessly, "He was afraid to go in, so I helped him a little."
Shen Xiaoyan chuckled at this. From the looks of it, it wasn't just a simple "little help."
Even so, she managed to compose herself and said, "Since everything is ready, let's begin."
Yizhixie also put on a serious face, "Let's begin."
Heaven knew how much pain his body was enduring while he was joking and bantering with Zheng Wei.
Immersed in the extremely dense immortal spring water, even without circulating his cultivation technique, spiritual energy was still entering his body with every breath.
And his current physical condition could not withstand so much spiritual energy.
The pain he endured under such circumstances was imaginable; it was no different from being on the verge of exploding.
Although his face appeared calm and indifferent, inside he was already roaring.
