Chapter 4368
Kai gently clasped Zhu Qingxiu’s hand, channeling a continuous stream of spiritual energy into her in hopes of rousing her from her unconscious state.
However, after several hours of intense effort, Zhu Qingxiu remained completely unresponsive.
Desperate, Kai began to infuse her with Immortal Qi and Dragon Qi, but to no avail.
Exhausted and frustrated, Kai realized that Zhu Qingxiu’s condition had not improved at all.
“Stop wasting your energy. This girl’s essence and blood are nearly depleted; any additional spiritual energy you try to feed her will be pointless,” a voice echoed in Kai’s mind.
“She’s likely not going to make it. While there’s still warmth in her body, you can do whatever you want…”
The voice belonged to the Red Cloud Demon Lord, and upon hearing it, Kai felt a wave of disbelief wash over him.
“What the hell? If you have something to say, say it. If not, then keep quiet. What kind of person do you think I am?”
Frustration bubbled within Kai as he confronted the Red Cloud Demon Lord for the first time in this manner.
Zhu Qingxiu was in this dire state because of her sacrifice for him, and he was determined to save her—his thoughts were far from concerns about gender or his own feelings!
“How many women have you toyed with? Why act all noble now?” the Red Cloud Demon Lord replied, unimpressed.
Kai fell silent, choosing to disregard the Demon Lord’s comments entirely.
He pulled out a multitude of pills from his storage ring, not caring whether they were valuable or not. Every last one was administered to Zhu Qingxiu!
His singular focus was on ensuring Zhu Qingxiu’s survival—she could not die on his watch!
Otherwise, he would owe a great debt, and the peace of the Zhu Family Town would be on his shoulders for the rest of his life.
Despite the numerous pills entering Zhu Qingxiu’s system, she still showed no signs of waking up. Although her body was surrounded by a surge of energy, the lack of essence and blood rendered this energy ineffective.
Just when Kai felt utterly lost, the Fire Qilin suddenly emerged from his storage ring, stumbling out into the open.
Without a care in the world, the Fire Qilin walked to the side and began to relieve itself, completely oblivious to Kai’s shocked expression.
Kai’s anger flared; he was struggling to help the unconscious Zhu Qingxiu, and here was the Fire Qilin casually peeing in front of him!
As he contemplated dragging the Fire Qilin from his storage ring for a proper reprimand, the Red Cloud Demon Lord exclaimed with unexpected excitement, “It appears to be the will of the heavens; it seems this girl is meant to live…”
Kai paused, confusion etched on his face. “Senior, what do you mean by that?”
“You fool! The Fire Qilin is a divine beast, and its urine is a potent spiritual liquid,” the Red Cloud Demon Lord explained. “If you use it as a catalyst to refine some pills that can replenish blood and restore essence, this girl could come back to life.”
“She may not fully recover, but she won’t be on the brink of death…” the Demon Lord added.
Joy surged through Kai at this revelation. Without a moment’s hesitation, he retrieved the Divine Peasant Tripod and summoned a fire dragon, which enveloped both him and Zhu Qingxiu in a protective barrier.
In his haste, Kai set aside formal formations and instead relied on his fire origin for protection.
He quickly gathered materials and the Fire Qilin’s urine, placing them into the Shen Nong Ding.
As the flames roared beneath the Divine Farmer’s Cauldron, Kai wasted no time adding various Immortal Herbs.
Before long, he had refined a single pill, which he promptly placed in Zhu Qingxiu’s mouth.
Moments later, her breath began to stabilize, and she slowly opened her eyes!
