When they returned to the Dragon Spiral Mountain, Yuan went to see the Lord's condition while everyone else went back to the mansion.
Upon seeing the Lord, Yuan was relieved to notice a significant improvement in his condition. The Lord's eyes shone with renewed clarity, his red fur now vibrant with life.
"Welcome back, Yuan." The Lord greeted him with a smile.
"You look much better."
"Yes, and it's all thanks to you and Ji Ran."
Yuan looked at the Starry Abyss resting not far away with a smile.
"He must be utterly exhausted if he hasn't even noticed our return," Yuan muttered in a low voice.
"That's the downside to being just a soul without its body. While cultivators at his level don't require a Dantian to contain spiritual energy, the amount of energy he can store inside his soul is much more limited."
"Also, even if they regain their physical body, they'll need to rebuild it from scratch."
