Chapter 37 - Escaping from Captivity

The statement from Jiang Yun is not without basis. If Luyao's condition is due to external injuries, perhaps he really has no way to deal with it. However, Luyao's injuries are primarily internal injuries caused by Elder Qin's palm strike, and the Yi Jin Jing is remarkably effective for internal injuries. Latest and fastest updates.

It's difficult to explain these things to Luyao, so Jiang Yun doesn't say much. He immediately takes action and helps Luyao sit upright, while Jiang Yun sits behind him in a cross-legged position, placing both palms on Luyao's back.

"Don't move recklessly. I'll first sort out the disrupted spiritual energy in your body, otherwise your injuries will only worsen."

Jiang Yun's tone is serious, and Luyao no longer hesitates. Once he settles down, he feels a warm current flowing from Jiang Yun's palms into his body from behind.

This warm current, under Jiang Yun's control, continuously untangles the chaotic spiritual energy that was disturbed by Elder Qin's palm strike. If the spiritual energy within Luyao's body is like a group of wild horses running amok, then Jiang Yun's warm current is an excellent horse trainer, gradually making these wild horses become docile.

Unfortunately, the spiritual energy within Luyao's body is currently like a herd of wild horses, and although Jiang Yun's mastery of the warm current technique is skillful, guiding the spiritual energy back to the dantian, it's still insufficient to deal with the almost completely dispersed spiritual energy within his body.

Soon, Jiang Yun's internal energy is completely depleted, while Luyao's body finally has a faint trace of spiritual energy returning to his dantian. This already brings great joy to Luyao. Latest and fastest updates.

With this trace of spiritual energy, he can slowly sort it out by himself, even though it may take time. After all, it's better than nothing.

Using internal energy to heal oneself is extremely draining and exhausting. In just a short while, Jiang Yun is almost paralyzed on the ground. Fortunately, the results are satisfactory, which slightly improves Jiang Yun's mood.

"I didn't lie to you, do you feel much better now?" Jiang Yun's weak voice comes from behind Luyao.

"Yes!" Luyao's voice is barely audible as he answers.

"Alright, take your time to recover on your own. I'll help with your healing when I regain some strength. Whether we can leave or not, it's up to you." Jiang Yun closes his eyes and leans against the solid stone wall, speaking with exhaustion.

"Tik-tok! Tik-tok!"

Luyao watches as Jiang Yun crouches there, holding a small bottle, catching the water droplets dripping from above. Suddenly, Luyao realizes that Jiang Yun isn't as annoying as he initially thought.

During these three days, Jiang Yun would spend an hour each day treating Luyao's injuries. Luyao's condition has greatly improved, and at this rate, he should be able to move on his own in another day.

After catching a little water with the small bottle, Jiang Yun carefully holds it and returns to Luyao's side.

"Here, have some water."

Throughout these three days, Jiang Yun has been taking care of Luyao, running back and forth. Although Jiang Yun claims that he is only taking care of Luyao because he is the only one who can open the stone door, Luyao feels warmth in his heart. Latest and fastest updates.

A normal person can survive for a maximum of seven days without food, but without water, they can only last for three days at most.

There is no food in this stone chamber to replenish their energy. Fortunately, water drips from above the chamber, which prevents them from dying of thirst for the time being. Although they both appear weak at the moment, at least they still have some strength left.

Luyao takes the small bottle that Jiang Yun extends to him and tilts his head back, drinking all the water in it. His spirits are slightly lifted.

"If I can't open that stone door, does it mean we'll die here?"

Every time Jiang Yun gives Luyao water, they engage in conversation, which has become a silent understanding between them during these three days. Now, Luyao speaks up and asks.

"No, you are a master of martial arts. Have a little confidence in yourself."

"I mean, if, just in case, you know?" Luyao's tone is not as resolute as Jiang Yun's.

"Well, that wouldn't be so bad. At least we'll have company on the road to the afterlife," Jiang Yun responds, still appearing relaxed.

Luyao fell silent for a moment before continuing, "If we were to die like this, don't you feel some regret?"

"Regret? Of course, there would be some, but definitely not as much as you. After all, I don't belong to this world," Jiang Yun replied more seriously this time.

"Why don't you belong to this world?" Luyao didn't quite understand the meaning behind Jiang Yun's words.

Jiang Yun seemed reluctant to discuss this topic and ended today's conversation, saying, "Alright, don't think too much. It's time for healing. Your condition should see significant improvement today. When the time comes, you can open that door, and these issues won't exist anymore."

After speaking, Jiang Yun urged Luyao to stop overthinking and focus on healing. Jiang Yun's internal energy had indeed shown remarkable effectiveness in treating internal injuries. Over these three days, most of the spiritual energy within Luyao's body had already returned to the dantian, with only some meridians remaining blocked, preventing the free flow of spiritual energy.

Today, Jiang Yun would open the final meridian for Luyao. Once this meridian was unblocked, Luyao would be able to circulate spiritual energy on his own.

Jiang Yun sat cross-legged behind Luyao, placing both hands on his back with a solemn expression. Wisps of white vapor emanated from his head and palms.

"Hum!"

Luyao felt a slight tremor in his meridians, and the abundant spiritual energy that had been blocked surged towards the dantian like a river flowing into the sea. Delighted, Luyao immediately guided the spiritual energy in his dantian to slowly flow back, feeling a profound sense of relief throughout his body.

After all the meridians in Luyao's body were unblocked, Jiang Yun no longer infused him with internal energy. In fact, Jiang Yun had exhausted almost all of his own internal energy in this process.

With his meridians clear, Luyao no longer needed Jiang Yun's guidance to handle the flow of energy. He could manage on his own. After a while, Luyao adjusted the flow of spiritual energy in his body and slowly stood up.

Turning around, Luyao noticed that Jiang Yun was still in a meditative state and decided not to disturb him. Instead, he focused his gaze on Jiang Yun. Soon, Luyao noticed the mysterious mask on Jiang Yun's face. Due to the lack of sufficient hydration over time, it was about to fall off.

Curiosity sparked within Luyao, and taking advantage of Jiang Yun's inattentiveness, he reached out and removed the mask, carefully observing Jiang Yun's true appearance.

In truth, Jiang Yun had a decent appearance. He had delicate eyebrows, well-defined features, and was quite pleasant to look at. Luyao became captivated by his gaze and didn't even realize when Jiang Yun opened his eyes.

Jiang Yun opened his eyes to find Luyao's large eyes staring at him from just a few centimeters away. Strangely, Luyao's obvious attention wasn't focused on him, and Jiang Yun wondered what he was thinking. Mimicking Luyao's behavior, Jiang Yun stared back at him intently.

As Jiang Yun took a closer look, he felt a growing sense of familiarity with Luyao. It seemed like he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't recall it at that moment.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yun asked.

Luyao snapped out of his daze, feeling flustered under Jiang Yun's gaze.

"I should be asking you that," Jiang Yun replied with a counter-question.

"I saw that thing on your face was about to fall off, and I... I couldn't resist my curiosity," Luyao explained, holding up the mask in his hand.

"You're healed, right? If you're healed, why are you still standing there? Quickly, go and see if you can open that stone door," Jiang Yun urged.
