Ma Xiaotao had already expended a lot of energy, and coupled with her continuous use of soul power to resist the erosion, she finally fainted.
Although Ye Chen's acupuncture also had a therapeutic effect, it was naturally far inferior to a healing-type Spirit Master for such large-scale injuries.
Although Ye Chen did not have healing methods, he could temporarily alleviate the injuries.
The next moment, Ye Chen condensed cold air in his hand and applied it to Ma Xiaotao's wound, quickly freezing it.
As expected, with the freezing of Ultimate Ice, the blood-red substance's erosion of Ma Xiaotao's body instantly stopped.
Ye Chen reached out to peel off the frozen blood-red substance from Ma Xiaotao's body.
The blood-red substance was almost integrated with Ma Xiaotao's skin, and each peeling took away large areas of flesh and blood.
However, the wound was quickly covered by frost and did not bleed.
A Spirit Emperor's physique is robust; losing some flesh and blood is harmless.
This blood-red substance was clearly a technique of that evil Spirit Master.
"Indeed, every evil Spirit Master is very powerful. One careless mistake and you could fall into their trap. No wonder Shrek has such a high mortality rate…" Ye Chen was somewhat speechless.
Even Ma Xiaotao could fall into a trap if she was not careful.
Ye Chen finished cleaning the blood-red substance from Ma Xiaotao's back and then breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the wound did not continue to worsen, it would be fine.
Immediately after, Ye Chen thought of something else and pulled out a small piece of whale gum, inserting it into Ma Xiaotao's mouth.
Whale gum has many uses; it can enhance physical fitness and rapidly replenish energy for the body, which is very beneficial for injury recovery.
Of course, Ye Chen did not dare to give Ma Xiaotao too much, lest an accident occur…
Ye Chen took Ma Xiaotao's pulse, confirming that her blood and qi were gradually stabilizing and she was recovering, which put his mind at ease.
This indicated that Ma Xiaotao had no internal injuries, and she would recover as long as her external injuries were healed.
"Xiao Chen, are you alright!?"
"Junior, how is Sister Xiao Tao?"
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen also arrived.
Seeing the unconscious Ma Xiaotao, both of them showed concern.
"It's nothing. Sister Xiao Tao is injured, but I froze the wound with ice. Now we need a healing-type Spirit Master," Ye Chen said with a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back to the city. There is a Shrek inspection team in the city, and each inspection team's stronghold will be equipped with a healing-type Spirit Master."
Zhang Lexuan quickly said.
"Alright."
The three nodded.
Ye Chen and Zhang Lexuan left first.
Ling Luochen stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, check for any remaining stragglers, and also search for victims, saving as many as possible.
...
...
...
In Baishi City, within a courtyard, the central door opened, and a beautiful young woman slowly walked out.
"How is it? Is Sister Xiao Tao alright?" Ye Chen asked anxiously.
"Yes, it's just external injuries, nothing serious, but my soul power is limited, so it will take quite some time to heal."
The beautiful young woman gave Ye Chen an apologetic look.
This was just a small branch of the Shrek Inspection Team, and she was only a Spirit King. Healing a Spirit Emperor was still a significant drain on her.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Ye Chen felt a slight relief upon hearing this.
Time was not an issue; the mission was already complete, so there was plenty of time.
"It should be us thanking you. Thank you for eliminating the evil Spirit Master and maintaining the peace of Baishi City." The young woman bowed gracefully to Ye Chen and the others, her eyes full of gratitude.
That group of evil Spirit Masters had been plaguing the surrounding areas of Baishi City, causing the deaths of many infants and spreading panic.
Now that they had finally been eliminated, Baishi City could finally find peace.
And all of this was thanks to these Shrek students.
If it weren't for them, waiting for the empire's experts to arrive several months later, all the infants in Baishi City would likely have been abducted.
...
...
From late night until dawn, Ma Xiaotao's external injuries were finally almost healed, but because too much flesh and blood had been lost, it still required some time to recover.
A Spirit Emperor's physique is robust; the remaining injuries could at most be considered superficial wounds, harmless.
However, Ma Xiaotao had expended too much and was still in a deep, peaceful sleep…
Zhang Lexuan had already left, while Ye Chen still guarded Ma Xiaotao's side.
"Sister Xiao Tao, you still need to be careful in battle in the future. You can't be so reckless anymore."
Ye Chen guarded Ma Xiaotao's side, playing with her soft, small hand while muttering softly.
It was still because he was not strong enough to protect Ma Xiaotao.
If his strength increased further, he would be able to fight alongside Ma Xiaotao in the future, and then he could also keep an eye on Ma Xiaotao, so she would not be too crazy in battle.
With Ma Xiaotao's strength, she could definitely slaughter that Spirit King evil Spirit Master.
Moreover, Ma Xiaotao had long-range attack methods. Although the opponent's combat power was strong, he was ultimately just a Spirit King. Ma Xiaotao could easily wear him down to death.
Unfortunately, Ma Xiaotao, blinded by anger, was too reckless. To kill the opponent, she chose to engage in close-quarters combat, which led to her being in such a sorry state.
The most obvious characteristics of evil Spirit Masters are their strong destructive power and various suicidal methods…
Ma Xiaotao must have known this, but she still…
"Perhaps this is just her personality," Ye Chen sighed inwardly.
It was precisely because of this personality that there was such a Ma Xiaotao, whom he liked.
If Ma Xiaotao became cautious and clever, she would not be Ma Xiaotao anymore…
Being a little silly is adorable.
"System, sign in."
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was still not awake, Ye Chen simply signed in directly, to see if he could draw a healing-type energy in this medical room.
[Sign-in successful, reward "Life Seed * 1"]
[Life Seed: Your vitality is greatly enhanced, increasing your lifespan by 10 years every day, stacking infinitely; you can consume lifespan to condense "Life Seed," which possesses powerful healing abilities and can also increase lifespan and reverse aging…]
...
"Oh, it's really a healing ability, and it also has the effect of a 'Beauty-Preserving Pill'," Ye Chen's eyes lit up when he saw his reward this time.
Simply put, it means consuming one's own lifespan to quickly heal oneself and others' injuries.
If there are no injuries, then it is equivalent to a Beauty-Preserving Pill, capable of increasing the lifespan of the user. Increasing lifespan naturally means being able to make the body return to youth, reverse aging, and regain youth.
If Ye Chen consumed it himself, the lifespan conversion rate would be 100%, allowing for complete absorption.
If others consumed it, the lifespan conversion rate would probably be lower, about 90%, but it was still very good. Rounding up, it was 100%.
Consume one, become one year younger.
If this pill were to be auctioned, countless elderly and frail noblewomen would definitely squander their fortunes to snatch it!!!
Of course, ordinary noblewomen definitely would not be able to get it, because this pill is also useful for Spirit Masters.
Those old hags who have lived for centuries would definitely come out to snatch it if they knew.
Who knows, living a few more years might allow them to break through their bottleneck again…
This pill is too precious. Ye Chen definitely has to be careful and only use it for his own people. It must not be leaked out.
Ye Chen was now equivalent to a super healer, just a bit "life-draining."
But fortunately, this talent comes with a "health regeneration" function, accumulating 10 years of lifespan every day, which is equivalent to granting "eternal life." The cost-effectiveness is still very high.
Ye Chen's mind moved slightly, and a green bead the size of a grain of rice instantly appeared in his hand.
The bead was as soft as a candy, and although small, it contained rich vitality.
This was condensed by Ye Chen consuming 1 year of lifespan. He wondered how effective it would be.
Ye Chen absorbed the bead back into his body, and his lifespan instantly returned, with no loss.
Ye Chen looked at Ma Xiaotao, planning to use it after she woke up, so he could better understand the healing effect of the Life Seed.
