Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: Leaving Seclusion

Su Linglong was severely injured, and Gu Li knew that healing her might take a long time, so he patiently waited for the entire month, personally guarding around the bamboo tower to prevent any disturbances.

However, a person’s patience is ultimately limited. After a month, when no news came from the bamboo tower, Gu Li could no longer sit still.

Gu Li first tried to contact Fang Bai using the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique but received no response. He then attempted to break the Qi Shield around the bamboo tower with his True Yuan to force his way in.

Gu Li thought that with his formidable strength, he could easily break through the thin layer of the Defense Qi Shield formed by Essence Energy. However, despite making full effort and spending half a day, he could not shake the Qi Shield at all.

This result greatly shocked Gu Li and was beyond his belief.

Just as Gu Li gathered all the high-ranking members of Green Bamboo Stronghold in front of the bamboo tower, preparing to jointly attack the Defense Qi Shield, the door of the bamboo tower was slowly pulled open from the inside. First, Fang Bai walked out from inside, followed by Su Linglong, Linghu Qian Jiao, Linghu Baimi, and Zhuge Lian who all appeared before Gu Li and others.

The gaze of Gu Li and others was immediately captivated by Su Linglong, who stood behind Fang Bai.

The Su Linglong before them had a rosy complexion and radiant glow, looking exceptionally stunning. If one hadn’t witnessed it before, who could imagine that just a month ago, she was a severely injured, unconscious person on the brink of death?

What surprised Gu Li even more was that the Essence Energy surrounding Su Linglong was now even purer and abundant than her peak condition before the injury. Sensing closely, he found that Su Linglong’s Cultivation Level had risen from the mid-stage of Desolate Level to the early stage of Vast Level Realm.

"How is this possible?"

Gu Li stared at Su Linglong, who was walking towards them, his eyes wide open, murmuring to himself.

In Gu Li’s mind, the recovery of Su Linglong’s injuries was already a miracle, yet not only did her Cultivation Level recover, but it had also made a dramatic breakthrough from a Desolate Level Martial Artist to a Vast Level Martial Artist within merely a month, overturning his understanding.

In his lifetime, Gu Li had witnessed countless strange and curious events, but what happened to Su Linglong was something he had never heard of or seen before.

Gu Li knew, even if he sent people across the seas to Shenwu Continent, found the Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi, and refined the high-grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill for Su Linglong, the best outcome would only be her injuries healed, but her strength would still be greatly reduced, nothing like the miraculous effects seen now.

Subconsciously, Gu Li glanced at Fang Bai, knowing that the revival and strength enhancement of Su Linglong must be Fang Bai’s achievement. However, he couldn’t fathom what miraculous methods Fang Bai used, not only healing Su Linglong’s severe injuries but also helping her reach the Vast Level Realm.

"Linglong pays respects to the Stronghold Chief."

Su Linglong approached Gu Li, bowed gracefully, and spoke crisply.

After being healed by Fang Bai inside the bamboo tower, Su Linglong heard from Fang Bai how Gu Li had tried every possible means and methods to treat her injuries, which deeply touched her.

"Linglong, you... you’re alright?"

Hearing Su Linglong’s voice, Gu Li snapped back to reality and looked her up and down with immense surprise, asking excitedly,

As he spoke, his voice trembled slightly, clearly extremely excited.

Su Linglong nodded and said, "I’m fine. I will never forget the Stronghold Chief’s concern and help during the time Linglong was unconscious!"

Gu Li said earnestly, "You are a disciple of my Green Bamboo Stronghold, it’s only right for me to help you!"

As he said that, he then gave Fang Bai a bow with clasped fists, his face showing admiration as he said, "Brother Fang cured Linglong, and everyone in the Green Bamboo Stronghold is immensely grateful!"

Fang Bai shook his head and said, "I saved Linglong, not because she is a disciple of your Green Bamboo Stronghold, but because she is my woman."

Hearing Fang Bai publicly declare this, Su Linglong’s cheeks blushed slightly, yet her heart was filled with immense sweetness.

Among Fang Bai’s confidantes, Su Linglong was the earliest acquaintance, and she had already regarded Fang Bai as the support of her life. For this, she did not hesitate to leave her mundane family and followed Fang Bai.

When she was separated from Fang Bai during the teleportation, Su Linglong was heartbroken. Later, after meeting Wu De and following him to join the Green Bamboo Stronghold, she swore to diligently cultivate until she had the ability to protect herself, then traverse the True Martial Realm to find Fang Bai, only to be injured by disciples of Swiftwind Valley and fall into a coma. Had it not been for Fang Bai rushing to her rescue, whether she would live or die was uncertain.

Inside the bamboo building, after Su Linglong recovered from her injuries and learned that Fang Bai had traveled tens of thousands of miles to the Green Bamboo Stronghold to save her amidst storm and rain, she was so moved that she threw herself into Fang Bai’s arms and wept.

Fang Bai healed Su Linglong’s injuries with Chaos Origin Energy and further used a mid-grade elixir he concocted to perform the Marrow Cleansing for her. Afterwards, he stayed in the bamboo building and explained the arcane of Martial Dao to Su Linglong, Linghu Qianjiao, Linghu Baimei, and Zhuge Lian. Utilizing the pure and abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Energy inside and outside the bamboo building, along with numerous cultivation resources he obtained from the Underground Palace in Dragon Tiger Palace, they devotedly cultivated together.

The five of them stayed inside the bamboo building for over a month. After emerging, not only did Su Linglong’s strength greatly improve, Linghu Qianjiao, Linghu Baimei, and Zhuge Lian also experienced a qualitative leap, advancing to the early stages of the Vast Level Realm.

Among them, Zhuge Lian met Fang Bai the latest and had previously practiced the Martial Arts Techniques of the Xuannv Sect, naturally advancing much slower than Su Linglong and the Linghu sisters.

However, Fang Bai also shared a set of Martial Arts Techniques with Zhuge Lian this time, and with her listening to Fang Bai’s explanation of Martial Dao, she greatly benefited and was able to advance to the Vast Level Realm, a praiseworthy achievement.

If Zhuge Lian had not met Fang Bai and continued to stay in the Xuannv Sect, under the most favorable conditions, it would take her at least three to five years to advance to the Vast Level Realm.

Thus, meeting Fang Bai was a great opportunity for Zhuge Lian.

When Fang Bai and the other four emerged and appeared in front of the senior members of Green Bamboo Stronghold, sensing their greatly enhanced cultivation levels, Gu Li and others were all astonished.

Regardless of Fang Bai’s motives for saving Su Linglong, Gu Li was grateful and his favor toward him greatly increased, but the thought of absorbing Fang Bai and others to join the Green Bamboo Stronghold was also dismissed.

Gu Li knew his limits, with Fang Bai’s talent and aptitude, he was truly a hidden dragon, and Green Bamboo Stronghold, this shallow pool, could not contain him at all. His path of Martial Dao was infinitely vast, perhaps only the top-tier Sects on Shenwu Continent were the best dwelling places for him.
