I couldn't figure out what was up with Mu Zhong and what he was really getting at. All he said was he had something to show me, and off we flew across Spirit Harmony Peak until we landed at some pavilion I'd never seen before.
Recovery Pavilion.
Led by Mu Zhong, Yang Wei entered the large structure, and immediately, he noticed many wounded disciples still receiving treatment for their serious spirit wounds.
Wait, what...?
Unlike regular physical injuries, spirit wounds damaged the spirit root of an individual, causing spiritual injuries to manifest on their physical bodies like a cosmic rust on their skin. Some parts of their bodies were black with star-like dots, resembling a rash or pox, making them appear very ill. Those with wounds on their sides struggled to breathe due to badly damaged lungs, while others with wounds on their necks had rotting throats, causing them to cough up blood.
