ALL NOVEL Chapter 159.1
Seeing the sapphire-like necklace, Cheng Qi swam over happily. He clasped his hands apologetically and silently said to the two of them, “Excuse me, but I really need to borrow the Sea Heart Stone now. When the young master wakes up, it will be returned.”
After Cheng Qi finished speaking, he didn’t waste any more time. He reached out and carefully took the necklace off the man’s neck, then walked over to Li Tianyan and put it on him.
As soon as the Sea Heart Stone was put on, it suddenly emitted a burst of blue light. When the light faded, Li Tianyan’s legs had turned into grey-blue fish tails.
Seeing tiny bubbles come out of his nostrils, Cheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly checked Li Tianyan’s injuries.
The attack just now had been completely suffered by Li Tianyan. Although he was protected by his true spiritual energy, he was still seriously injured. Upon discovering that Li Tianyan’s internal organs were damaged, the joy that Cheng Qi had just felt disappeared again.
He took out a few pills for treating internal injuries and fed them into Li Tianyan’s mouth. Fortunately, he was able to take them this time. Upon seeing this, Cheng Qi immediately transferred his true spiritual energy through the two people’s lips that met.
Just like when practicing in the thunder pool, Cheng Qi’s true spiritual energy was not rejected by Li Tianyan at all, and after being submerged, it followed his usual training track.
Li Tianyan’s Dantian was like a bottomless pit that couldn’t be filled, and Cheng Qi’s energy was quickly exhausted.
With a wave of his hand, a pile of spirit stones appeared beside them. Cheng Qi took out the spirit stones to replenish his energy and gave them all to Li Tianyan.
Over time, the few remaining energy in Li Tianyan’s body gradually filled up and could even move on its own. Cheng Qi was overjoyed when he noticed it but still didn’t stop. He took out a water-avoiding pill, drank it himself, and continued to deliver his true spiritual energy.
The true spiritual energy that Cheng Qi transferred to Li Tianyan flowed from the outer line until the dantian was filled. Then, through the combination of yin and yang, part of the true spiritual energy was transformed into the inner part, filling the other half of the dantian.
When the two strands of true spiritual energy reached balance, they began to circulate in the body, running faster and faster, and the two black and white light groups turned into phantoms, just like the Tai Chi yin and yang fish.
As the true spiritual energy circulated, the pills Li Tianyan swallowed quickly dissolved, and in conjunction with the Five Elements Harmony Technique, Li Tianyan’s damaged body was repaired.
The deep seabed was filled with the strange cries of various sea animals. As the water waves swayed layer by layer, it sounded both ethereal and deep.
They didn’t know how much time passed, but Li Tianyan’s body began to regain consciousness. The first thing he sensed was those strange sounds and the smell of salty sea water. Li Tianyan couldn’t help but wonder why he was in the sea.
“Young master, can you hear me?”
Cheng Qi? A slightly urgent call came from Li Tianyan’s consciousness, and he recognized it as Cheng Qi’s voice. Li Tianyan’s heavy eyelids trembled a few times before he slowly opened them.
What caught his eye was Cheng Qi’s red eyes, which held a look of surprise on his face. Li Tianyan didn’t even bother to look around; he raised his arm and stroked Cheng Qi’s red eyelids.
“Young master, are you awake?” When Cheng Qi saw Li Tianyan had woken up, he was so happy that he rubbed his hands together repeatedly.
Seeing Cheng Qi acting like a dependent little beast, Li Tianyan had a warm smile on his face and lightly scratched his chin with his fingers.
However, Li Tianyan soon noticed that they were actually in the sea. When Cheng Qi smiled, many small bubbles came out of his mouth, meaning he had taken the water-avoiding pill.
“Are you injured?” Li Tianyan finally remembered the situation when they encountered the Core Formation evil cultivator at sea.
“I’m fine, but the young master was seriously injured in order to protect me.” Cheng Qi threw himself into Li Tianyan’s arms, wrapping his hands tightly around his neck while using voice transmission to describe the subsequent scene in detail.
Thinking of the situation at that time, Cheng Qi still felt scared. If he hadn’t happened to encounter that reef cave, Li Tianyan might have been in danger.
“Young master, please don’t do this again.” Cheng Qi laid on Li Tianyan’s shoulder and said in a dull voice.
If Li Tianyan was injured in exchange for his safety, he would rather bear it himself.
“There will be no next time,” Li Tianyan promised firmly.
His life was connected with Cheng Qi’s. If he really died, Cheng Qi would also die. Naturally, he could no longer take such risks.
This time, he was indeed careless. He had originally wanted to use the opponent’s water attack to escape but had ended up overestimating himself.
However, hearing Cheng Qi mention the shark man and the Sea Heart Stone, Li Tianyan was surprised for a moment.
No wonder he had felt something was wrong since he woke up; now he realized that he could actually speak and felt as comfortable in the deep sea as he did on land. How could the water-avoiding pill be so unnatural?
But speaking of the Sea Heart Stone, Cheng Qi remembered something. He blinked, struggled to get out of Li Tianyan’s arms, and looked down at his legs.
Previously worried about Li Tianyan’s injuries, Cheng Qi had no intention of paying attention to this. Now he could clearly see the grey-blue fish tail covered with scales, with a pair of shocked black eyes, a bubble of water came out of his mouth unconsciously.
Li Tianyan followed his gaze downwards and saw his legs had turned into fish tails. He was almost frightened. Knowing it was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was another.
Moreover, sharks were rare to encounter, and the Sea Heart Stone was like a legendary thing. Li Tianyan had always been dubious about it but never expected to meet it in the sea.
