Chapter 100

One after another, the soul power extracted from the soul stone entered Zheng Shi Yi's body at a speed several times faster than before.

Zheng Shi Yi's body seemed like a bottomless pit. As the soul power was absorbed in large quantities, the wheel began to rotate, albeit very slowly.

"Swish, swish."

As the wheel turned, the soul power in the soul stones in the room began to be drawn into Zheng Shi Yi's body.

Zheng Shi Yi was immersed in a mysterious sensation.

Time passed, moment by moment.

After two days of relentless effort by Su Jing Dan, on the morning of the third day, she finally managed to expel all the toxins from Ding Yue's body.

Ding Yue's complexion was much better than it had been in the past few days. With just two more days of recuperation, her body would be completely healed.

A hint of warmth appeared in Ding Yue's cold, distant eyes as she said, "Jing Dan, thank you..."

Su Jing Dan blinked her beautiful eyes and pouted, saying, "Sister Ding Yue, why are you saying these things? You are Brother Shi Yi's friend, which means you are my friend too. Helping you detoxify is what I should do."

"Alright, I won't talk to you about this anymore. I need to go prepare the medicine for you."

Su Jing Dan waved her hand and quickly walked towards the wooden tray containing the spiritual medicines.

Ding Yue shook her head slightly and muttered to herself, "I wonder what kind of luck this guy has to have such a good spiritual doctor as a partner. Unfortunately... he doesn't know how to help his partner."

"Considering he saved my life, I'll teach him how to help his partner after he finishes his cultivation."

Wu Dong remained motionless, sitting at the door, ready to follow the orders of either Su Jing Dan or Zheng Shi Yi.

The wheel inside Zheng Shi Yi's body rotated faster and faster. All the soul stones in the room hovered in the air around Zheng Shi Yi, spinning at high speed.

The soul power from the soul stones fell like raindrops, rapidly entering Zheng Shi Yi's body.

The wheel had completely turned red, and Zheng Shi Yi's aura was gradually growing stronger. His body was undergoing a tremendous transformation.

The third day passed, the fourth day passed, and then the fifth day.

In the center of the red wheel, a walnut-sized virtual spirit spring gradually appeared. The spiritual energy around the wheel was being absorbed into the ten spirit wheels.

This spiritual energy then entered the virtual spirit spring. As more spiritual energy entered, the virtual spirit spring gradually grew larger.

Zheng Shi Yi knew that the virtual spirit spring was gradually forming. As long as he continued to absorb soul power and cultivate the nameless technique, the virtual spirit spring would eventually become a real spirit spring.

When that happened, it would mark his successful formation of the spirit spring, entering the Spirit Spring Realm.

Sweat dripped continuously from Zheng Shi Yi's face, landing on the ground.

Five days of cultivation had taken a huge toll on his body. At this moment, he was extremely weak and could not afford any disturbance.

Wu Dong, who had been guarding the door for four days without sleeping, was now struggling to hold on.

Since there had been no problems for four days, Wu Dong was convinced that he could rest for a while without any issues. He returned to his room and went to bed.

Three men in black clothes were hiding in the dark at a distance. Seeing Wu Dong return to his room, all three were delighted. "This guy has always been a trouble. I didn't expect him to leave on his own."

"Now we don't have to kill him ourselves. Brother Yan said this guy would be extremely weak on the fifth day. Soon, we'll find the right moment to enter his room and kill him in the shortest time possible. Got it?"

"Got it." The other two nodded in agreement, and the three of them headed towards Zheng Shi Yi's room.

After several days of rest and the help of the pills provided by Su Jing Dan, Ding Yue's body and strength had been completely restored.

Ding Yue opened her eyes to see Su Jing Dan dozing on the edge of the bed.

Ding Yue patted Su Jing Dan's shoulder and said, "Jing Dan, you've been working hard these past few days. Lie down and rest for a while."

Ding Yue got out of bed and let Su Jing Dan take her place.

"Okay." Su Jing Dan did not refuse, nodded, and lay down on the bed.

"It's already the fifth day. I wonder how that guy is doing." Ding Yue wanted to know how Zheng Shi Yi was doing and walked towards the door.

A series of footsteps came from the door, heading towards Zheng Shi Yi's room.

"Hmm?" Ding Yue frowned. So late, who could be coming? Wu Dong? Impossible. He knows Zheng Shi Yi is forming the spirit spring and wouldn't disturb him.

"It seems there are burglars coming..."

Ding Yue smirked and quickened her pace towards the door.

The three men at Zheng Shi Yi's door, holding knives wrapped in black cloth, did not immediately rush into the room. Instead, they used their fingers to make a hole in the window to observe the situation inside.

"Brother Cong, just as Brother Yan said! This kid is pale and sweating all over. He must be extremely weak. This is the best opportunity..."

The three men nodded at each other and were about to break into Zheng Shi Yi's room.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of wind came from behind the three men.

They turned around sharply to see a white sword flash in front of them.

One of them was struck in the neck and died, falling to the ground.

"River and Mountain List... " One of them, recognizing that the person who killed their companion was Ding Yue, trembled in fear and tried to escape.

"Whoosh!"

Ding Yue's sword fell, not giving this person a chance to move. The sword struck his throat, and he died, falling on top of the other person.

The third person, terrified, fell to his knees, about to beg for mercy, but Ding Yue's sword had already fallen, severing his head.

Ding Yue sheathed her sword and glanced into the room. Zheng Shi Yi was still forming the spirit spring.

Ding Yue turned around and, as she walked back, coldly said, "Your words are annoying, and your actions must be equally annoying. Otherwise, why would these people come to trouble you while you're forming the spirit spring?"

When she reached the door, Ding Yue did not immediately enter but looked around to ensure no one else would come to trouble Zheng Shi Yi. Only then did she push the door open and go in.

Ding Yue did not rest but sat cross-legged at the door, listening quietly to any sounds from outside.

Zheng Shi Yi did not hear the commotion outside. His body was frantically absorbing spiritual energy and soul power.

"Swish, swish!"

As the soul power and spiritual energy poured in, the wheel rotated faster and faster. Eventually, the virtual spirit spring in the center of the wheel was the size of a fist.

The size of the virtual spirit spring would determine the size of the real spirit spring that would eventually form. Zheng Shi Yi did not know how large his virtual spirit spring would ultimately be, but he knew he needed to absorb a large amount of soul power.

"Absorb!" Zheng Shi Yi waved his hand, and the soul power from the soul stones, like a cast net, was drawn into his body with a "swish."

Zheng Shi Yi's aura instantly grew stronger. The powerful aura emanating from his body pressed the ground, causing it to crack.

"It won't be long before I form the spirit spring!" Zheng Shi Yi nodded in satisfaction.

But at that moment, the virtual spirit spring, which had been rotating clockwise with the wheel, suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise.

"Crack!"

The sudden change in the rotation of the virtual spirit spring caused Zheng Shi Yi's aura to become chaotic. The counterclockwise rotating spiritual energy and soul power collided with the clockwise rotating spiritual energy and soul power.

The impact of the collision shook Zheng Shi Yi's internal organs and meridians, causing excruciating pain.

The surging blood seemed to be bursting through his veins, causing intense pain.

"Spit!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Zheng Shi Yi's mouth, and his face turned as pale as paper.

"How can this be? The technique doesn't describe this..." Zheng Shi Yi tried to control the rotation of the virtual spirit spring, attempting to reverse its direction.

But the harder he tried to control it, the stronger the rebound force from the virtual spirit spring became.

His blood vessels could not withstand the impact of the collision between the soul power and spiritual energy, and they burst.

"Ah..."

Zheng Shi Yi's face turned deathly pale, and the pain in his body caused him to curl up and fall to the ground. Blood flowed from his nose, ears, and mouth.

The sweat pouring from his body, like large beads, soaked the ground.

Xiao Ze, who had been sleeping nearby, was startled by Zheng Shi Yi's cries of pain and quickly stood up.

Seeing Zheng Shi Yi rolling on the ground, Xiao Ze hurriedly ran out of the room and headed towards Su Jing Dan's room.

"Who?"

Ding Yue, with her eyes closed, was listening quietly to the sounds outside. Suddenly, she heard the sound of Xiao Ze breaking through the door and immediately opened her eyes, sword in hand, and ran out.

"Clang!"

Before Ding Yue could reach the door, Xiao Ze burst through it and rushed in.

"Flame Tiger cub?" Ding Yue, about to stab the thing that broke through the door, stopped when she saw it was a Flame Tiger.

"Did something happen to that guy?"

Xiao Ze's hurried entry made Ding Yue feel something was wrong. Without hesitation, she ran towards Zheng Shi Yi's room with her sword.

Xiao Ze leaped onto Su Jing Dan's bed and used his claws to shake her arm.

Su Jing Dan was sleeping soundly, but she woke up due to Xiao Ze's shaking.

Seeing Xiao Ze in front of her, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Weren't you in Brother Zheng's room? Why are you here? Oh, where is Sister Ding Yue?"

Su Jing Dan looked around but did not see Ding Yue.

Xiao Ze pointed with his claws in the direction of Zheng Shi Yi's room and mimicked Zheng Shi Yi's pain, lying on the ground and curling up, moaning.

"Oh no." Su Jing Dan understood Xiao Ze's meaning and quickly ran out of the room towards Zheng Shi Yi's room.

Ding Yue rushed into Zheng Shi Yi's room.

Zheng Shi Yi was curled up on the ground, rolling around. Blood was flowing from his seven orifices, staining the ground red.

"Reversal of spiritual energy? How could he end up like this?"

Ding Yue quickly identified Zheng Shi Yi's problem from the symptoms he displayed.

Ding Yue hurriedly walked to Zheng Shi Yi, lifted his body, and sat behind him. She placed her hands on his back and began to channel her spiritual energy into his body, trying to help him redirect the reversed spiritual energy and soul power.
