C34 Healing Wounds

Only after Luo Liufeng retreated could Xiang Shaoyun heave a sigh of relief. He wasn't really in a good state right now. Had that guy decided to stay behind, he would have definitely suffered defeat.

Xiang Shaoyun knew the dangers of pulling out an object from an open wound. If he removed it, he would suffer from heavy blood loss. With great difficulty, he walked towards the baby cub and checked his injuries.

"Little guy, you must not die," Xiang Shaoyun prayed in his heart.

No matter what, this little guy had saved his life at the most crucial moment. He really did not want anything to happen to it.

Xiang Shaoyun was still a distance away, but the baby tiger was already wobbling back. Despite suffering a gracious injury, it was still able to endure and push on.

"Good, you are truly worthy of being a Greater Demonic Beast descendent!" Xiang Shaoyun could not help but praise.

Meow!

This little guy replied to Xiang Shaoyun as if he could understand his words. He then ran to Xiang Shaoyun's feet and began rubbing against them. It was quite cute.

Xiang Shaoyun felt a wave of warmth.

Over the years, he had gone through many betrayals and very few acts of genuine camaraderie. It sort of made him vigilant towards those people who call themselves "friends." But somehow, for some unexplained reason, this felt... good.

Despite it being a demonic beast, Xiang Shaoyun found this little guy more trustworthy than humans.

"Your mother might have already left. Since you followed me, Xiang Shaoyun, then you should stay by my side and become the strongest demonic beast!" Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed. As if he could understand the statement, the baby tiger gave an excited howl and jumped on his uninjured shoulder.

Xiang Shaoyun clenched his teeth, went over to the pouch, and collected it. He didn't bother himself with searching those, clearly poor-looking, teenagers.

Right now, he was in a bad situation. So, he couldn't waste his time on such useless activities anyway.

Fortunately, due to the presence of a Greater Demonic Beast, his vicinity was free of low-level demonic beasts. This was like a heaven send to Xiang Shaoyun right now.

Otherwise, in his current health, even low-level demonic beasts could make quick work of him.

After Xiang Shaoyun had walked some distance, he felt that his head was growing heavier and heavier.

Not thinking about it too much, he popped half of the yellow ginseng in his mouth.

Yellow ginseng was quite similar to an inferior-grade elixir; Its medicinal power was strong. After the essence entered Xiang Shaoyun's body, it directly revitalized his body.

Under the yellow ginseng's support, Xiang Shaoyun walked for a while before choosing a concealed place to sit down.

"I have to take out the arrow as soon as possible. Otherwise, my wounds will worsen, and I will end up in big trouble!" Xiang Shaoyun thought.

Thus, he took out a few herbs. Among these herbs were also the herbs that he bought from the Hall of Elixirs. He crushed all of these herbs, preparing to stop the bleeding.

External injuries healed quicker when compared to internal injuries.

After finishing his preparations, Xiang Shaoyun tore off his shirt, revealing all the terrifying scars on his body.

These were all wounds he had gotten from killing demonic beasts for the past few days. Most terrifying among all these was the arrow that Luo Liufeng shot.

"I'll remember this grudge!" Xiang Shaoyun wiped away the blood near the wound and muttered to himself. Then, he grabbed the arrow and yanked it out!

Ahh!

The arrow was yanked out, and immediately, fresh blood burst out from his shoulder. His entire body was drenched in blood. The pain was so intense that he almost fainted.

He decided to enter the meditative state to numb the pain.

Xiang Shaoyun put himself into a meditative state so that he could split his attention, and that would, in turn, reduce his pain. While in the meditative state, he used one of his hands to apply the paste to his wounds.

Hiss!

When the medicinal paste touched his wound, Xiang Shaoyun gasped, and sweat began running down his face.

Fortunately, he was meditating, which helped him relieve some of the pain. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to endure the pain.

With the effects of the herbs, Xiang Shaoyun's pain began to diminish.

After he recovered his breathing, he took out a Healing Pill from the bag and swallowed it.

Being healed inside out was never a pleasant experience.

After half a day, Xiang Shaoyun's condition was much better, but he looked deathly pale. He needed to replenish his blood and energy if he wanted a complete recovery.

Xiang Shaoyun took out some dried meat to eat. At the same time, he did not forget to give some to the tiger cub.

The little guy was hungry as well. He finished his share in a few bites.

Xiang Shaoyun did not bring much-dried meat with him, so he kept a small share and gave the rest to the tiger cub.

The baby tiger had quite the appetite as he once again finished his share before Xiang Shaoyun. Moreover, he didn't forget to contentedly lick Xiang Shaoyun's hands as if showing his affection!

"This little guy really knows how to eat! It seems like I have to recover as soon as possible and get more food for you," said Xiang Shaoyun as he caressed the tiger cub.

Xiang Shoyun could feel that this tiger cub was different. It had the intelligence, emotions, and even the perception of a human.

Regardless, Xiang Shaoyun had already decided that he was gonna nurture this little guy. He was gonna do everything in his power to make this little guy a powerful demonic beast.

"Play nearby first. Don't go too far!" Xiang Shaoyun let the Little Tigerling leave as he wanted to recover.

After the tiger cub obediently left, Xiang Shaoyun took out the yellow ginseng and quickly swallowed it.

Xiang Shaoyun retracted in his mind, the Overlord Dominating Heaven Mantra began to circulate. He was able to swiftly absorb the medical properties of the ginseng.

After being exhausted like this, again and again, Xiang Shaoyun's seventh grade cultivation had already accumulated to perfection. So, borrowing the ginseng's power to break through further shouldn't be a problem.

With the medicinal properties absorbed, the injuries on his body improved, and the remnant energy was assimilated by the nine great stars in his body. He could use this remnant energy to break through the eighth grade.

A 300-year-old ginseng could make any ordinary cultivator's cultivation jump at least two grades.

But Xiang Shaoyun's foundation was too sturdy, and he also had those nine great stars in his body. So, yeah. A mere 300-year-old ginseng was a little too weak for him. Moreover, a large part of that energy went into healing his wounds. This bit of energy pushed him straight to the eighth grade of the Martial Entering Stage.

Even so, Xiang Shaoyun felt that the increase in his own strength was quite apparent. It wasn't like an ordinary cultivator gaining a few extra pounds of strength after breaking through.

This should be the advantage of the early awakening of stars.

After Xiang Shaoyun's breakthrough, his condition was obviously much better. He was even able to use his own energy to speed up the recovery process now.

After meditating for a long time, he no longer felt any pain from his wounds.

It was already nighttime—it was the time when beasts came out to hunt.

The baby tiger had already returned to his side and did not dare to run outside.

Roar!

A beast's roar came from not too far away, and a pitch-black figure slowly walked towards Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun looked over warily, his pupils constricted, and he shouted, "Black Blood Lion! Fortunately, it's not a fully mature Black Blood Lion. It should be at best an inferior-grade demonic beast."

When the Black Blood Lion felt Xiang Shaoyun's provocative gaze, it no longer hesitated and pounced on him.
