Chapter 4360
Kai swiftly came to Zi’er’s aid. After all, she was a fairy, even if only a remnant of her soul remained. Her identity was noble, and it was unthinkable for her to kneel before anyone, even herself!
“Zi’er, you don’t need to act this way. First, you must stay humble and remain at the bottom of the sea. Wait for me to finish my tasks, and then I’ll take you away from this place and help restore your physical form!”
Kai reassured her.
Since Zi’er was bound to a tree, Kai couldn’t simply place her in a storage ring; after all, he couldn’t carry a tree around every day!
If he brought the tree to the surface, it could attract unwanted attention due to the Immortal Qi emanating from it!
Thus, Kai resolved to leave Zi’er at the bottom of the sea, where no one ventured in the Dead Sea. Once he dealt with matters in Zhu Jia Town and brought Zhu Qing Yue back to the Xiao Dynasty, he could take Zi’er to the Soul Demon Sect for her physical restoration!
“Good, Zi’er will follow your instructions!”
Zi’er responded with a slight bow.
Kai observed Zi’er’s graceful demeanor, reminiscent of a noble lady. It was no surprise she was among the Seven Immortals; her poise was truly exceptional!
Withdrawing his divine sense, Kai placed the trees on a flat surface.
To prevent the trees from suffering damage from seawater or other threats, Kai began to carve protective formation patterns around them!
It was crucial that the trees not be completely destroyed by seawater after Kai left, as that would lead to complications!
To ensure the integrity of the formation, he infused it with Extreme Cold Ice Flame, maintaining a stable temperature within.
As Kai focused on his work, Zhu Qingxiu gradually opened her eyes and exhaled deeply.
“These pills are truly remarkable; my recovery has been swift!”
Zhu Qingxiu felt rejuvenated and regained a significant amount of her strength!
“So, you think my elixir is effective? I have more for you. Use them!”
Kai, having overheard her, tossed a bottle of elixir to Zhu Qingxiu.
She grasped the elixir, momentarily at a loss for words!
Having followed Kai as a non-relative and initially misunderstanding him, she now felt a bit embarrassed receiving his gifts.
“Take it, consider it compensation for your precious sword!”
Kai replied calmly.
“That’s not enough! Since you claim to have ties with the Refining Sect, you must bring me another treasured sword from them.”
“I want to see if you truly have connections with the Weapon Refining Sect or if you’re just boasting…”
Zhu Qingxiu recalled her own sword that Kai had accidentally destroyed.
“Alright, when I visit the Weapon Refining Sect, I’ll bring you along to confirm my ties with them!”
Kai brushed off Zhu Qingxiu’s comments and continued carving the formation patterns.
“You know formations?”
Zhu Qingxiu finally noticed Kai inscribing designs on the ground—he was engaged in formation carving!
Kai remained focused on his work, ignoring her.
This formation would not only protect the trees but also prevent any leakage of Immortal Qi that could reveal their location!
Zhu Qingxiu leaned closer to observe, and a look of surprise crossed her face!
While she wasn’t well-versed in formations, she had seen enough to recognize skill when she encountered it.
Back when the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had hired a formation master to set up their Sect Protector Formation, she had watched as that master intricately carved formation patterns, which appeared far simpler than Kai’s intricate designs.
Yet here was Kai, a seventh-grade cultivator of the Transition Realm, casually inscribing patterns of great complexity!
It’s essential to note that with more advanced formations, the patterns become increasingly complex and difficult to carve!
Zhu Qingxiu couldn’t accomplish such feats, though she had heard of their intricacies!
She couldn’t believe that Kai was not only a formation master but an advanced one at that!
It was clear she had greatly underestimated him!
