Chapter 162.1
Li Tianyan didn’t understand why, but at this moment, he found himself still thinking about everything. After calming down, he took out a spiritual sword again and activated the yin and yang technique.
The Tai Chi formation in his Dantian gradually rotated, and all the remaining true spiritual energy in the eyes of the formation flowed back into the Yin and Yang fish. All the Yin and Yang true spiritual energy was injected into the spirit sword.
Not long after, a terrifying pressure emanated from the thunder clouds, and a beam of light crashed down. This aura was actually stronger than the nine thunders that had just struck. Li Tianyan compressed the true spiritual energy in his body, which finally transformed into a yin-yang sword intent that pointed toward the sky.
The sword intent touched the sky thunder, and another roar echoed. This sound could be heard even in the towns outside the Tianfan Immortal Sect. After being blocked momentarily by the sword intent, the thunder pillar suddenly fell toward the spot where Li Tianyan stood.
The entire mountaintop was almost shrouded in lightning, and the dazzling light made all the cultivators close their eyes involuntarily. Cheng Qi watched as Li Tianyan was swallowed up by the thunder pillar and instinctively wanted to rush over, but Elder Tian Min stopped him.
“Xiao Qi, you can’t go there.” Tian Min kept a close eye on Cheng Qi and stopped him as soon as he made any move.
“But Master…” Cheng Qi struggled anxiously, and when he saw the thunder light in the distance disperse, he noticed that there was still a figure standing on the hilltop, which had been razed to the ground.
As the last thunderstorm passed, the thunderclouds in the sky gradually faded away, resembling a clear sky after rain. Seeing that the thunderstorm had ended, Cheng Qi broke free from Elder Tian Min’s grasp and ran toward Li Tianyan with his spiritual sword.
There was not a drop of energy left in Li Tianyan’s body, but his unconscious form still stood stubbornly in place. It wasn’t until Cheng Qi’s figure appeared in his sight that he finally relaxed completely.
As soon as Cheng Qi landed next to Li Tianyan, he saw the body suddenly fall backward. Panicked, he caught him with his cloak.
After enduring the thunder disaster, Li Tianyan’s body was covered with lightning wounds, and violent thunder energy raged within him. Cheng Qi carefully wrapped him in his cloak, and without waiting for anyone else to approach, he picked up Li Tianyan and hurried back to Qingdan Palace.
Once inside their room, Cheng Qi laid Li Tianyan on the soft bed and gently opened his cloak to check his injuries.
Fortunately, although Li Tianyan seemed to be seriously hurt, most of his injuries were just superficial. Cheng Qi fed him two pills, took out a bottle of healing potion, and slowly dripped it onto the wounds scattered across his body.
The wounds on Li Tianyan’s body quickly stopped bleeding and scabbed over, no longer appearing as frightening as before.
Cheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and quickly took out all the high-grade spiritual stones that Li Tianyan had given him. He spread them beside him and tried to transfer Qi to him as he had done before.
Unfortunately, after Li Tianyan advanced to the Core Formation level, his Qi could not have a significant effect on him. Cheng Qi had no choice but to stay by his side and watch over him.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait long. The spiritual energy in the spirit stones was slowly extracted by Li Tianyan, penetrating into his body. Cheng Qi, sensing the surge of spiritual energy, finally saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He rested his chin on both hands and laid on the bedside, staring at Li Tianyan for a while.

“Tan Eyu, how is Tianyan doing today?” Elder Tian Min came outside Li Tianyan’s room again and asked Tan Eyu, who was guarding the entrance.
More than half a month had passed since that day of the thunderstorm. Cheng Qi had taken Li Tianyan back to Qingdan Palace, and they had never left the room. Tian Min was worried about Li Tianyan’s condition and could only ask Tan Eyu every day.
“He is awake now. Don’t worry; I’m still alive and well.” Tan Eyu rolled her eyes after saying that. Everyone had worried for nothing.
“He finally woke up,” Tian Min said, relieved to hear that Li Tianyan was back.
Even now, when he thought of that thunderstorm, Tian Min felt a lingering fear. If it had been anyone else during that thunderstorm, they would have been beaten to the point of death by the lightning. It was truly fortunate that Li Tianyan had survived.
At this moment, the lucky Li Tianyan was in his room, holding Cheng Qi close and gnawing wildly at the Taoist companion’s ear.
“Young master, you’ve just recovered. You need to take a good rest.”
Cheng Qi was so aroused by Li Tianyan that he had only a sliver of reason left to say this. Yet, his body was very honest, tightly wrapped around Li Tianyan, showing no intention of pulling away.
Things had been tumultuous recently, and they hadn’t been this close for a long time. Cheng Qi found it hard to push Li Tianyan away.
Li Tianyan raised his head and smiled at Cheng Qi, their bodies pressing closer together. Cheng Qi looked at the lively smile on Li Tianyan’s face, his heart trembling slightly.
“My wife can’t wait to do anything with my body. How can I not fulfil my responsibility as a husband?” Li Tianyan whispered into Cheng Qi’s ear; his voice slightly hoarse.
Li Tianyan had just awakened today and found Cheng Qi touching around on his body, how could he continue pretending to be dead.
“I didn’t.” Cheng Qi’s thoughts were jumbled for a moment before he finally realized that Li Tianyan was referring to when he wiped Li Tianyan’s body just now.
Li Tianyan buried his face in Cheng Qi’s neck, taking a deep breath. His nose filled with the familiar fragrance that brought comfort. “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“Yeah.” Li Tianyan’s hot breath on Cheng Qi’s neck made him wince sensitively, but he still nodded.
Seeing Li Tianyan gradually recover yet remain motionless, Cheng Qi had felt a growing anxiety every day. Thankfully, he had woken up.
