“The diagnosis results are rather troubling,”
“According to Sun Shengshou, Hall Master Gu’s foundation is too solid. Although she’s a Qi Refinement Cultivator, her Spirit Power is so pure that it’s almost on par with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. It is precisely for this reason that after her failure to reach Foundation Establishment, the damage inflicted by her Spirit Power on her body far exceeded that of an ordinary Qi Refinement Cultivator who failed at Foundation Establishment.”
As Sima Huiniang spoke up to this point, Luo Chen’s mind was stirred.
Suddenly,
he realized the primary cause of Gu Caiyi’s failure!
Demonic deviation induced by a restless heart and mind was just the trigger.
...
The main reason was the immense Spirit Power pure enough to compare with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Logically, a Qi Refinement Cultivator shouldn’t possess such terrifyingly pure Spirit Power. Even Luo Chen himself did not have such an endowment initially.
But!
All these years, Luo Chen had occasionally provided her with Jade Dew Pills to consume.
This is a Second Order Spirit Pill even coveted by Ice Castle Foundation Establishment Female Cultivators!
Though Luo Chen had refined the pill formula to allow Gu Caiyi to ingest it in a controlled manner, the medicinal power still enabled her to forge incredibly pure Spirit Power.
Among her peers, her Spirit Power’s strength was almost three to four times that of others.
During her attempt at Foundation Establishment, how could she control it with a Divine Soul Endowment that fell short of the Foundation Establishment Stage?
“Is it my fault?”
With a dry throat, Luo Chen had never thought that his well-intended actions could backfire so terribly.
If not for the Jade Dew Pill factor,
Gu Caiyi’s perfect Qi Refinement may have been delayed by a few years, but she still would have had a solid foundation to attempt the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Even if she failed, at worst she would recover like Sima Xian after a few years of rest.
Instead of being in her current state, with a damaged Dantian, incomplete Meridians, and excessive Spirit Power stagnating within her body, constantly eroding her flesh.
Sima Huiniang did not notice Luo Chen’s guilt and continued to relay the subsequent conditions.
After Gu Caiyi was severely injured and treated by Sun Shengshou, a corresponding treatment plan was given.
It cannot be healed by common techniques; she needs medicinal stones for a gradual cure.
Moreover, during this process, it’s best to avoid any external Spirit Qi from entering her body, causing further damage.
As Luo Chen admired the scene, his eyes still held a trace of worry.
“Three years, that’s too long!”
...
When Gu Caiyi woke up from her deep slumber, still groggy,
she saw Feng Xia packing things up in the room.
Her gaze swept around the room, not seeing the figure that appeared in her dreams.
A sudden feeling of emptiness engulfed her.
But almost instantly, that feeling flew away.
The man walked into the room from outside.
“Sister Xia, is everything packed?”
Feng Xia nodded, “It’s just some personal clothes, all ready now.”
“Then let’s set off!”
“But Sun Shengshou said that Caiyi should avoid external Qi entering her body. Is it really okay for her to leave this place?”
“It’s better to dredge than to block; her theory only stands if there’s no solution.”
As he spoke, the man approached Gu Caiyi’s side.
Gu Caiyi bit her lip, puzzled, “Where are we going?”
“To my home. I promised you, I will heal you.”
Luo Chen smiled faintly and picked her up amid her surprised cry.
Feng Xia watched the scene with moist eyes, draping a fluffy coat over her.
“It will be okay, everything will get better.”
Once they were outside,
Luo Chen cast a protective shield of Spirit Qi and then carried Gu Caiyi onto the Langqi Flying Boat.
“Sister Xia, once Caiyi gets better, we will invite you for a drink. Bring Duan Feng along then.”
Feng Xia stood in the courtyard, watching the Flying Boat slowly take off, waving her hand vigorously.
...
Aboard the Flying Boat.
