Yu Miao's su City
A few palaces built with black boulders stood likewith little paths Wild geese were gliding across the surface of the water, and the air rang with the sound of trickling water It was a place that looked surprisingly elegant Guards in fitted black leather armors hid in dark corners between the woods and boulders, their fierce and deep eyes glancing vigilantly at the surroundings
Occasionally, pluushed out fro inside Under the cover of the fog, these Yin ghosts had no fear of the scorching hot sunlight, and were revealing the restlessly between the wilderness If some outsiders intruded this area, they would either alarm the others with eerie howls, or swoop at the intruders and suck all their blood and energy
In the grass along the paths, a large nu They were all ferocious creatures carefully selected by the Yu Clan in Zhong Province, and had been raised with curses and poisons, which e and vicious Even immortals ere bitten by these vile creatures could be in s and insect kings whom Yu Clan had raised for innumerable years; their venom could easily kill even Gold Ireen cliff wall, and a strea out of a several feet wide hole opened on its surface The stream, about ten feet in diameter, rushed rapidly and filled the air with thunderous noises that sounded like the breathing of so burly uard on both sides of the strea around blankly Not far away from them, a few Oracles with nine Moons ee of the water with their legs on their knees, leisurely talking to each other now and then
Entering fro the white water for severalan iround, which plunged doard for tens of miles into a natural cave abode made of cold jade
The cave abode, about a e chunk of cold jade that had existed for ten thousand years The cold air emanated from it was so intense that it could easily shatter any weapons and armors made of metal The white and clean jade looked al out of it like blades and swords,ordinary people unable to stare at it with bare eyes An azure bed ht in the center of the cave abode, on top of which laid Yu Miao, as fully naked and with both legsdoctored by an Elder of his branch
The ice bed was harvested by the ancestors of the Yu Clan froerous place in an outer heavenly realm Its temperature was extremely low, and even ordinary immortal artifact would crack if it were to be touched by just the cold breeze Had it not been because Yu Miao's cultivation base was equivalent to that of a Gold Ie number of precious herbs to protect his heart meridian and fleshly body, he would have turned into a corpse by the deadly te Province sat in a circle around hi fixedly at the Elder as he doctored Yu Miao
The Elder was the oldest andall of the in seclusion for years He stood about ten feet tall, and although his body was skinny like a mummy, his hands were fair and smooth as if they were carved out of the finest jade No hands of even the peerless beauties could look as beautiful as his At the y on his hands, and as his fingers ht in the air
With a jade blade, a jade needle, and a spool of transparent thread in his hands, the Elder was quickly sewing Yu Miao's nerves, blood vessels, and s for him In a corner of the cave abode, a handsoround with eyes wide open He had a gash at his forehead that went deep into his brain, which appeared to be the reason for his death Both his legs were taken away, and were now being transplanted to Yu Miao's body
The blood flowing out of the gash in the youth's forehead was thick and golden, with a slight hint of purple It was the blood that only a Gold Ihteenth-tier Gold I there motionlessly, dead just like an ordinary mortal
The silence in the cave abode was broken by a faint sound as the Elder used his jade blade to cut off a transparent thread; the operation was corabbed a fist-sized medicine bottle placed on a jade table next to the ice bed, carefully dug out soer, and applied it on the seas The searowled in pain as the ghost blood in his body gradually circulated into his new legs to modify the blood of Gold Immortal that remained in there As the two completely different types of blood devoured and fused with one another, he felt a severe pain as if sos inch by inch with apainhis jaws, he sat up on the ice bed, then cupped his fist and bowed respectfully to the senior Elder "Great-grandfather, thank you for healing me personally! This useless descendant was bullied by a lesser peasant!"
With a casual air, the senior Elder tucked the jade blade, jade needle, and the spool of thread under his sleeve After that, he said in an indifferent tone, "It doesn't matter We all have to suffer several losses in our life You only had your legs taken away Back in those years hehe"
Shaking his head, the Elder turned and walked toward the depth of the cave abode, paying no more heed to Yu Miao and the Elders frolance with the Elders around hi Back in those years when the Yu Clan in Zhong Province was going through turbulent tizhu tried to seize the control of the Yu Clan in Zhong Province They had sent Yu Mu over to take over the position of the clan leader Unwilling to accept the fate, the senior Elder stood up to fight against Yu Mu, but in the end, he was severely wounded by soans were s the battle
