Chapter 790 - 419 Heart Meridian Damage

"Hoo..."

Ji Ziyue let out a long breath.

She felt a warm energy flowing through her body, as if stitching up her wounds. It was itchy but comfortable.

Her breathing gradually steadied.

After a period of treatment, Ji Ziyue’s injuries had recovered by seventy percent.

However, judging by her current condition, she still needed post-care adjustments to fully heal.

"Gu Sheng, thank you."

Ji Ziyue’s voice was somewhat weak.

"Hoo..."

Gu Sheng withdrew his Divine Power, regulating his breath briefly.

"Why bother saying that? You chased me down after I ran thousands of miles—now that’s something!"

Gu Sheng shook his head and let out a bitter laugh as he spoke.

"Haha... I didn’t expect that either."

Ji Ziyue forced a faint smile.

"You’re awake now. What’s most important is for you to fully recover. Rest."

Gu Sheng spoke, then picked up a robe from the side and placed it over Ji Ziyue.

Ji Ziyue nodded and then closed her eyes, beginning to gradually regulate her body according to Gu Sheng’s guidance.

Gu Sheng stayed by Ji Ziyue’s side, using his Divine Sense to continuously monitor her condition to ensure her recovery was proceeding smoothly.

Time passed by little by little, and Ji Ziyue’s complexion gradually regained its rosiness.

Her breathing became steady and strong, and her injuries were no longer troubling her.

"Ziyue, how do you feel now?"

Gu Sheng asked softly.

Ji Ziyue opened her eyes, a trace of a smile in them.

"I feel much better. The Primordial Mother Qi is truly miraculous."

Ji Ziyue spoke, sitting up directly.

"Don’t rush to get up. Your body has sustained serious injuries and needs a period of rest and recovery."

Gu Sheng quickly pressed Ji Ziyue back down.

At that moment, Ji Ziyue felt a sense of warmth in her heart.

"Ziyue, your body has just recovered; it’s better not to move around. I’ll go gather some Spiritual Medicine to help with your recovery."

Gu Sheng said gently to Ji Ziyue.

"Will it be dangerous?"

Ji Ziyue seemed a bit worried about Gu Sheng.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

With that, Gu Sheng straightened up, threw on a casual coat, and walked out of the grass hut.

Gu Sheng stepped outside and took a deep breath of the fresh morning air.

He was acutely aware of the seriousness of Ji Ziyue’s injuries.

Her heart meridian was damaged, and if not properly treated, it could leave long-lasting sequelae that would be difficult to heal.

For Ji Ziyue’s condition, only fresh blood from a Linglu deer could effectively repair her damaged heart meridian.

Gu Sheng formed sealmaking gestures with his hands, as streams of Spiritual Power flowed from his palms, creating a dazzling rainbow sheen.

With a gentle leap, he stood firmly atop the shimmering rainbow light.

The rainbow carried him across the sky, like a meteor slicing through the heavens.

In mid-air, Gu Sheng searched for the traces of the Linglu deer.

The Linglu deer was an extremely vigilant mystical beast with movements that were incredibly elusive.

What was even more troublesome was their ability to burrow into the earth.

So his actions had to be swift, precise, and decisive.

The rainbow streak darted across the sky as Gu Sheng swept his gaze over forests and valleys, hoping to locate the Linglu deer soon.

It was said that Linglu deer liked to search for food at dawn.

This time was also the best opportunity to capture them.

Soon, Gu Sheng’s Spiritual Sense spread out like a massive net, covering a vast area.

At this moment, he could feel every slight movement in the forest.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng detected an unusual disturbance—a life energy unique to the Linglu deer.

Immediately, he adjusted his direction, and the rainbow light raced toward the disturbance.

At the edge of a dense forest, Gu Sheng finally found a herd of Linglu deer.

They were grazing leisurely on a patch of grass, sunlight filtering through gaps in the leaves and scattering over their bodies.

Perhaps due to the rarity of visitors, these Linglu deer seemed almost "naive."

Even so, Gu Sheng did not dare to act carelessly.

If startled, these mystical beasts would instantly vanish deep into the forest.

Gu Sheng carefully lowered the altitude of his rainbow light, moving cautiously to avoid drawing the Linglu deer’s attention.

His gaze locked onto a younger-looking Linglu deer.

Its size was moderate, and its blood was likely the purest.

"Hoo..."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing the next action had to be executed flawlessly.

Then, he performed another set of sealing gestures with his hands, preparing to strike.

This time, the gestures were even more intricate. With his movements, the surrounding air began to ripple, forming an invisible Spiritual Power barrier that slowly approached the young Linglu deer.

Suddenly, the herd of Linglu deer seemed to sense something.

The leading Linglu deer raised its head and looked alertly around.

Gu Sheng’s heart pounded faster. He knew he had to act before the Linglu deer realized the danger.

Quietly, his Spiritual Power barrier enveloped the young Linglu deer.

The deer’s eyes grew a bit dazed, and its movements became sluggish.

Now was the time!

Gu Sheng made his move, and the rainbow light accelerated, rushing straight toward the deer.

"Crash!"

Suddenly, the entire herd of Linglu deer burrowed into the earth, disappearing in an instant as if they had never been there.

"Hahaha..."

A burst of arrogant laughter rang out.

Gu Sheng looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing on the clouds, laughing wildly at him.

Gu Sheng frowned and pointed at the man, shouting, "What’s so funny? What’s there to laugh about?"

Soon after, the middle-aged man descended from the clouds and approached Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng sensed that the man’s power was formidable, more so than his own!

"Young man, so you’re trying to catch Linglu deer?"

The middle-aged man asked.

Gu Sheng nodded. "Isn’t that obvious?"
