Chapter 312: Chapter 215: Rebuilding

As dawn broke,

the operation codenamed "Exorcism" finally came to a complete end.

The good news was that the old district was successfully reclaimed, all hazards were dealt with, only one indestructible building in Wangmen District still stood there. However, that building had been sealed off, and through observation, it didn’t affect the surrounding safety, so it was temporarily ignored.

The bad news was that the operation had significant losses. Several Spiritual Perception Masters had died, and most of the people were severely injured and needed rest, which reduced the strength of Tianchang City’s Cultivation Circle to its lowest in this period.

"Since the operation has ended, everyone should go back and rest now. We’ll discuss further matters after everyone has recovered," Li Yi spoke at this moment.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After a night of battle, even those who were not injured were mentally exhausted and indeed needed rest.

Although Li Yi seemed fine at the moment, his condition was actually very poor.

His soul had been severely damaged by possession of a fierce ghost, and even though he had saved his life, he was still in a lot of discomfort. So far in Tianchang City, there was no way to heal soul injuries, but fortunately, he had brought Resurrection Pills back from the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

After everyone returned to the Peace Finance Building,

the other people in the building were relieved to see Li Yi and his group return safely.

"It’s great you’re all safe," Lv Jue, Kong Sheng, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and others showed joy on their faces at that moment. They had been frightened all night, fearing bad news.

"The old district issue has been resolved. Now everyone is injured and needs to rest. Luckily, there were no casualties in our team. What about you guys? Did you encounter any Walking Corpse attacks at night?" Li Yi said, shaking his head. He felt his head getting more and more dizzy; it seemed the side effects of the soul injury were showing.

"Everything’s normal, no Walking Corpse attacks here," Lv Jue said.

"That’s good," Li Yi said, "But we still can’t be careless. Cleanup work in the old district continues for the next few days. You guys need to keep taking turns on guard to prevent any stragglers from coming over."

"Li Yi, don’t worry, we’ll handle it," Zhao Xiaoxiao quickly said.

Lin Yue said, "Li Yi, you should talk less. You’re not in good condition. You should go rest now instead of forcing yourself."

"Sister Lin, don’t worry. I’m fine. I’ve got medicine for this injury. As for you, Sister Lin, you’re covered in blood; it looks quite serious," Li Yi said.

"These are just flesh wounds; none of my vital parts were hit. They’re already healing. I’ll wash up and then rest for a few days. Don’t underestimate the physique of a Spiritual Realm Evolver," Lin Yue said.

"That’s good. But you’re right, Sister Lin, I really should go rest now," Li Yi felt his dizziness getting increasingly severe, feeling as if he might pass out at any moment.

This was not good.

Once he passed out, who knew if he could ever wake up again.

After speaking briefly, Li Yi didn’t dare to delay. He quickly took the elevator to his room, then took out three Resurrection Pills and swallowed them all in one go.

The three Resurrection Pills instantly gave off a cool sensation that surged towards his brain. Subsequently, the little figure in his consciousness began rapidly absorbing an invisible medicinal force. This aura nourished the figure, solidifying its ethereal body and enlarging its previously shrunken form.

Li Yi felt much better, at least there was no risk of passing out for now.

However, it wasn’t enough.

All three Resurrection Pills had not fully healed his soul’s injury; Li Yi had to take another two pills.

It took a total of five Resurrection Pills for him to barely recover.

This level of consumption was enough to prove just how perilous his previous experience had been.

"Being possessed by a fierce ghost was simply a nightmare... If I hadn’t had the Resurrection Pills, even if I had survived, I would have been crippled, constantly groggy and sleeping, unable to do anything," Li Yi finally opened his eyes and took a long breath, feeling his splitting headache and grogginess finally alleviating.

But to fully recover, he would still need to rest quietly for a while.

"Moreover, in this operation, to deal with Yang Yilong, I forcibly broke through to the Refining Realm while not having fully accumulated Qi-Blood in my nine acupoints, which greatly affected my subsequent Martial Arts Cultivation... Now that Yang Yilong is dead, and most cultivators are in a state of recovery, I might as well self-abolish my Martial Arts Cultivation during this period of Blood Burning Technique and start over,"

Li Yi’s eyes then flashed a fierce determination.

This resolution was directed at himself.

Self-abolishing Martial Arts Cultivation to start over wasn’t a venture many in the Four Seas and Eight Continents would dare undertake.

The lifespan of Martial Artists in the Four Seas and Eight Continents was short, and the peak of Qi-Blood easily passed. Once you start over, you might never break through to refining in your lifetime.

But things were different here.

Cultivators had longer life spans, and the Martial Arts Realm advanced rapidly. Plus, during the period of the Blood Burning Technique, Qi-Blood was still rising. Li Yi believed that he could return to the peak of Blood Refining Realm within two days. Whether he could break through to the Refining Realm again, he wasn’t sure, but he would try if possible.

"The sooner the Martial Arts are rebuilt, the less it will affect subsequent cultivation. Although my strength will decrease significantly for a short period, it’s worth it from a long-term perspective,"

Li Yi thought carefully and finally made up his mind.

He would self-abolish his Martial Arts Cultivation.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, began to mobilize his Qi-Blood, self-destructed his acupoints, dispersed this Qi-Blood throughout his body, and nurtured it.

"Ah!"

However, when Li Yi tried to self-destruct an acupoint for the first time, a sudden intense pain emanated from deep within his body, followed by a burst of wailing, and then he fell to the ground, convulsing continuously, with blood unceasingly flowing from the corner of his mouth.

It was just the beginning, and Li Yi had already felt inhuman torture. At this moment, he felt his internal organs were already damaged.

Apparently, the cost of forfeiting his Martial Arts Cultivation was enormous.

If he hadn’t been an Evolver, his entire body would have been severely injured by now.

It goes without saying, he had made a very insane decision.

"Again!"

Li Yi gritted his teeth. Since he had started, he couldn’t stop halfway, otherwise, all would be lost.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by waves of painful cries echoing in the room, the process of Li Yi destroying his Martial Arts began.

It took a total of half an hour.

He was covered in scars, blood all over his body, convulsing uncontrollably, and after the self-destruction of his cultivation, he couldn’t control his Qi-Blood anymore; he was in a state of bleeding out, and if he didn’t find a way to deal with it, he would die of excessive blood loss.

However, Li Yi was well-prepared for this situation.

He immediately took out the last bottle of Extraordinary Water and drank it all.

Extraordinary Water, the miraculous medicine for treating physical injuries, as soon as you drink it, the pain in your body rapidly disappears, and the medicinal effects even repair your injuries in a very short time, and can even make you burst out with strength surpassing your normal limits.

Right now, Li Yi needed treatment, not a burst of strength.

As the effects of the Extraordinary Water started to kick in, he couldn’t help but take a long breath, his body began to feel comfortable, the bleeding also stopped, and his body was healing.

"It seems my plan is working, forfeit Martial Arts Cultivation, retrain from scratch, use Extraordinary Water to compensate for the physical damage... followed by sufficient nutrient liquid, that should recover it," Li Yi thought to himself.

As his body gradually recovered, combined with a large amount of nutritional supplementation, and being in the period of the Blood Burning Technique.

Just two hours later, his condition had stabilized.

Although it was forfeiting Martial Arts Cultivation, retraining doesn’t mean redoing all the realms again, at least he didn’t need to train the skin, muscles, or bones again, his sinews, bones, and skin were still intact, so he could start directly from Marrow Training, and since the previous foundation was still there, retraining was much easier than before.

Just half an hour later, Li Yi had already completed the Marrow Refining Realm and reached the Blood Refining Realm.

Due to the Blood Burning Technique, another hour passed, and the Qi-Blood he had lost from destroying his cultivation was replenished, and then logically reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm.

Then it was time to mobilize Qi-Blood and store it in the acupoints again.

This process was effortless, needing only some time to accumulate.

Li Yi rested while accumulating Qi-Blood.

However, at this time, the brewing of Qi-Blood slowed down.

He looked at the time and realized it was past noon, the peak of the Blood Burning Technique had passed, and his body began to produce a sensation of fatigue, and as time went on, this fatigue became more severe. Initially, he could endure it, but later, this fatigue made his body enter a self-protective state.

The body was gradually losing sensation.

Clearly, the side effects of the Blood Burning Technique were beginning to show.

"What Sword Coin left unmentioned was that after the Blood Burning Technique, the body would lose sensation, and the duration wasn’t as long as I imagined. Once past the peak of Qi-Blood, once side effects appear, in about two days, I’d be paralyzed."

Li Yi’s gaze flickered with a sense of being deceived.

Actually, the residual memory in Sword Coin had not deceived Li Yi.

It’s just that, for him, the physical quality at the inspiration realm was still too poor to withstand some of the side effects of the Blood Burning Technique. This secret technique was not meant for cultivators at Li Yi’s level, but for those far more powerful.

Feeling the abnormalities in his body.

Li Yi quickly got up and drank a full dose of the Golden Nutrient Liquid, worried that he wouldn’t be able to move later and the Blood Burning Technique would still be operating and wear him out alive. He also informed Sister Lin of his condition to ensure someone could take care of him later.

After doing all this, he lay down on the ground and completely passed out.

Soul injured, body damaged, Martial Arts retraining, the appearance of side effects from the Blood Burning Technique... Adding all these up, any cultivator would have been overwhelmed, let alone Li Yi.

Fortunately, soon after Li Yi had passed out, Lin Yue, who had received the news, hurried to Li Yi’s room.

To ensure that Li Yi was okay, Lin Yue had Zheng Gong immediately contact the Bureau to arrange to send him to the training base hospital of the Bureau for recuperation, as the medical facilities there were better, and even in case something happened, the doctors there could handle it promptly.
