"Uncle Zhao, you don't have to say that. Just be free in your next life, and I'll be satisfied". Gu Xixi said with tears in her eyes. Gu Xixi is the name of the young woman lying on the bed.
"My only regret is that I was born too late and couldn't grow up early. My childhood was spent on cultivation. my youth was spent on cultivation. Nothing else but cultivation. The whole clan put their hope on me. But that scoundrel, Gu Chen betrayed the clan for benefits. All those bastards who were involved in the death of my family, I'll now use my death as an exchange for your misery".
Saying up to here, Gu Xixi was expecting a heavenly phenomenon, but none came. She was surprised, then agitated and wept bitterly. She said while sobbing,
"Even the Heavens despise both my existence and non-existence"
"Young Miss Gu, don't say that, don't say that", Zhao Jin was already weeping too. His years of indignation pouring out at this moment.
Both the Miss and her servant wept indignantly at the jaws of death.
"Are you done?", Lin Fan asked after standing for a while.
His question was like thunder in the ears of the Master-servant duo.
"What do you mean Senior?" asked Gu Xixi.
"I'm asking if you are done pouring out your grievances".
"Wh... What?" asked the Master-servant duo.
"You heard me. Listen, I don't know what happened to you in the past and I'm not going to butt in. And secondly, I'm not here to take your life"
"Ha!!!" the Duo were so agitated that they each vomited mouthfuls of blood, their aura further weakened.
"I can see both of you still have injuries. Let me heal you", Lin Fan took out two apple-shaped fruits he obtained from the Life Tree, one of the Origin Beasts in his Origin Sea.
He gave one to the Young Woman and said
"Keep this in your storage artifact"
Gu Xixi collected and immediately after coming into contact with the Life Fruit, she felt abundant Life Energy being poured into her body, she was intoxicated for a moment and forgot what Lin Fan said.
"Keep it in your storage artifact", Lin Fan reminded gently.
"Forgive my impudence, Senior. I got carried away", Gu Xixi apologized and quickly put the fruit in her Storage Bracelet.
"Don't worry, I am not a calculative person. I'll give you another one that you too can split", he gave the remaining fruit to hear and told her to cut it in two.
Gu Xixi quickly collected it. She took out a knife and sliced it vertically from the middle. The moment the juice of fruit touched the knife, it emits a Purple Light.
The Purple Light quickly became deeper and then transforms into a bright Golden Light. The Golden Light shone and enveloped the cave.
Just then, Lin Fan blew slightly and the Golden Light receded.
Seeing all these things, Zhao Jin and Gu Xixi were shocked. The phenomenon just now means the low grade Divine Knife has Transformed into a peak grade Chaos knife.
Artifacts are differentiated by the type of light they emit when they are forged or Transformed. Purple Light means it's a Divine Artifact and Golden Light means it's a Chaos Artifact.
'A low grade Divine Artifact had suddenly become a peak grade Chaos Artifact just by coming into contact with the juice from this fruit?' the Duo thought.
What shocked them more was that, just a soft blowing by Lin Fan made the light recede.
That is unprecedented!
'Someone actually interfered with the Transformation of an Artifact?', they looked at each other and could see the shock in the other party's eyes.
"Don't be distracted. I'll help you digest the fruit. Young Lady, sit Cross Legged on your bed. Old man, Sit Cross Legged on the platform. I'll help both of you digest this fruit".
"A kind reminder, you should circulate your Cultivation Techniques while absorbing the energy of the fruit. There will be gains".
"Thanks for your kindness senior", they replied, and quickly took the Lotus position as pronounced.
Lin Fan set up a Concealing Formation and Hallucination Formation to hide the whole Core Circle of the Immemorial Forest from prying eyes.
"Now let's begin", Lin Fan said
"Put the half fruit in your mouth"
They did so
"Circulate your Cultivation Techniques"
They did so
Lin Fan extended his hands and put them on each person's back. Then he slowly inject his own spiritual energy and made it follow each person's Vein part.
Slowly, the abundant Life Energy of the fruit was made mild by Lin Fan's Origin Energy and it rapidly healed them.
Lin Fan noticed that most of their Veins of Cultivation were broken, so he first focused on that. Afterwards he moved to the internal organs. Then their bones.
Time passed slowly
Half a month quickly passed.
Both of them are now completely healed. Zhao Jin's healing was faster because his injury were not too severe and his Realm is higher. He got completely healed after only 8 days.
It was Gu Xixi's injuries that was severe. on the fifteenth day, her injuries were fully healed too.
Now, although they're fully healed, the Life Energies in their bodies is still abundant.
Not even 20 percent of it was used up. And that is just half a fruit, which means only less than 10 percent of the whole fruit will be enough to completely heal one of them.
Lin Fan continued to help them absorb the energies and channeled it to their Dantian. Every Cultivator from the late stage of Foundation Establishment onwards has a Dantian.
This Dantian is just the Crystalization of the Diaphragm, a membrane just below the Lungs and heart. It houses the Spiritual Energy of every Cultivator below the Earth Immortal Realm.
Those in the Immortal Realm absorbs Chaos Energy.
So in the case of Zhao Jin and Gu Xixi, Lin Fan helped them chanel the abundant Life Energy towards their Dantian to convert it to Chaos Energy.
After a day of conversion, Gu Xixi made her first breakthrough from Mid-stage Heaven Immortal to late stage Heaven Immortal.
On the Third Day, She broke through again, going from the late-stage to the peak-stage.
On the fifth day of conversion, Zhao Jin also broke through, from late-stage Golden Immortal to peak-stage Golden Immortal.
Gu Xixi is a natural talent. She broke through later that day and entered the Golden Immortal Realm.
Due to the abundant Life Energy, their foundations were stable.
...
On the Second month of conversion, Gu Xixi caught up with her Uncle at the late-stage Celestial Immortal Realm.
After two months of conversion, 45 percent of the Life Energy in their Bodies have been converted. Which means that, a total of 65 percent of the half fruits have been absorbed by each person.
Another One and a half month later, they've ansorbed a total of 90 percent Life Energies in their Bodies.
Due to his talent, Zhao Jin broke through to the Mid-stage Immortal King Realm in one and a half month.
Gu Xixi surpassed her Uncle Zhao. She's now an early-stage Immortal Empress. She's a woman so she's an Empress, not an Emperor.
She has surpassed her Father who was the Patriarch of Her Clan all those years ago. The one who destroyed her clan was at the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm at that time.
In just 4 months, she's almost caught up with her enemy all because she met someone whose name she doesn't know yet.
'This life is twisted' she thought. She once knew a close kin who brought destruction to the clan all for benefits. Now she met a stranger who helped her out of her predicament first, not even coveting her beauty.
Indeed
What a world we live in!
