347: Lao Qin was almost squeezed dry by Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing
Old Qin and Ji Jiangxue cooperated with each other, maximizing their strength and bridging the gap in their cultivation with the Yao Beast.
Although both were injured in the battle, their cooperation became more tacit, and they gradually gained the upper hand when attacking the Yao Beast.
Seeing that it was no match for these two bipedal beasts, the Yao Beast decided to retreat and began to look for an opportunity to escape.
Old Qin and Ji Jiangxue were so perceptive that they naturally noticed the Yao Beast's intention, so they pressed on, giving it no chance to breathe.
How could Old Qin and the others not see the Yao Beast's thoughts? They immediately pressed forward, with every move being a killing blow.
The Yao Beast's tail had always been its most proud weapon, but at this moment, it was severed by Ji Jiangxue's sword.
Not only that, but the sword in Old Qin's hand also cut the defensive fur on the Yao Beast's body into disarray.
Now, except for the relatively intact fur on its head, the entire body of the Yao Beast looked like an ugly mangy dog.
Finally, Old Qin and Ji Jiangxue simultaneously circulated all their Spiritual Qi and unleashed a full-strength strike. A brilliant Sword Qi streaked across the sky, and the Yao Beast's body was instantly cut in half, falling to the ground.
Old Qin stepped forward, used his sword to push aside the Yao Beast's corpse, and took out the Yao Beast's Medicinal Pill from it.
Ji Jiangxue asked in confusion, "Is this the Medicinal Pill?"
Old Qin nodded and said, "Yes, do you want it?"
Ji Jiangxue shook her head and said, "No, it's not much use to me. You need it more than I do."
Old Qin heard this and thought it made a lot of sense, so he immediately put away the Medicinal Pill.
He looked at the tragic state of the Yao Beast in front of him and couldn't help but recall the scene where Ji Jiangxue deftly severed the Yao Beast's tail.
He felt that it reminded him of an unpleasant image, and he was still shaken, secretly sighing in his heart, "This woman is truly terrifying!"
This woman is too scary, it's better not to let her know that I tricked her before!!
At this moment, Old Qin made up his mind that he absolutely could not let Ji Jiangxue know that he had tricked her before.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver and quickly slipped away...
.........
With the "demise" of the Yao Beast, the cave also suffered heavy damage.
It turned out that when the Yao Beast tried to escape, it chose to flee to its den, which was deep inside the cave.
Old Qin and Ji Jiangxue, in the process of stopping the Yao Beast, could only seal the cave entrance to prevent the Yao Beast from escaping.
As the battle gradually intensified, the cave eventually completed its mission and became a ruin.
Old Qin gazed at the mess and sighed deeply.
"This... we got nothing, and instead, we were badly beaten by the Yao Beast..."
Then he remembered the precious Medicinal Pill and continued, "However, fortunately, we successfully obtained the Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness Medicinal Pill, so this trip was not in vain after all."
After his lament, Old Qin walked to Ke Ming and Ji Jiangxue's side.
Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing were still unconscious after taking the Medicinal Pill, while Ke Ming leaned weakly against a tree, anxiously watching the two unconscious people on the ground.
Ji Jiangxue looked at Old Qin at a loss, her heart burning with anxiety over her friends' unconsciousness.
"Old Qin, this... they..."
At this time, they only remembered the difference between a casual blow from Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage and Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness.
Before, they had always succeeded in their missions without exception, and although they would get injured, the overall outcome was good.
Therefore, this time, they were careless with the Yao Beast, relaxed their vigilance, and gave the Yao Beast an opportunity to exploit.
Everyone knew very well that if one only had the cultivation of Refining Essence and Transforming Qi - Late Stage, then facing a strong person in the Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness Realm, even a casual blow like a playful one, if unprepared, would not guarantee one's safety at all.
The fact that they could still retain a trace of Qi was entirely due to Ke Ming continuously feeding them a large amount of Medicinal Pill to barely sustain their lives.
And the main reason why Ke Ming was able to maintain a relatively clear consciousness was that he was positioned slightly further back at the time, so the Yao Beast's attack power was weakened, leaving only about half of it.
Old Qin first used Spiritual Qi to examine Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing, then frowned tightly.
The situation was very tricky!
They had originally expected them to be only severely injured, but they never expected their injuries to be so severe, even hovering on the brink of death.
If Ke Ming had not timely fed them Medicinal Pill to preserve their last breath, they would have probably already died in the Yellow Springs.
Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing's injuries were too severe; their internal organs were all shattered, and several ribs were broken.
At this moment, even if they wanted to immediately find Yang Zheng for treatment, there was no longer enough time.
Ji Jiangxue watched Old Qin frown, looking at Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing with helplessness and annoyance, her heart filled with self-blame.
If... if she had reacted faster, Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing would not have been so seriously injured.
Ji Jiangxue's eyes were slightly red, and tears began to well up in her eyes; she felt very guilty and remorseful.
But at this time, Old Qin had no time to comfort her. Old Qin calmly said to Ji Jiangxue, "Carefully help them up, then hold them down. I need to treat them immediately."
Ji Jiangxue could feel Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing's Qi becoming weaker and weaker, as if it could disappear at any moment.
She clenched her fists tightly, trying to keep herself calm.
Indeed, if they didn't get timely treatment, there might truly be no hope.
Ji Jiangxue carefully used Spiritual Qi to gently lift the two, making their bodies float in the air.
Old Qin stood above their heads, his expression focused and tense. He took a deep breath, concentrated all his strength, and released a brilliant light towards their heads.
Ji Jiangxue's gaze was fixed on Old Qin, Jin Meiting, and Hu Bingbing, silently praying in her heart.
She hoped that Old Qin's treatment would be effective and restore Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing to life.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene was tense, and everyone was looking forward to a miracle.
As time passed, sweat beads constantly appeared on Old Qin's forehead, and his face became paler.
Ji Jiangxue and Ke Ming realized that his Spiritual Qi was about to be exhausted.
Ke Ming tried to get up to help, but he was severely injured and couldn't even gather the strength to stand.
At this time, Ji Jiangxue quickly performed Spiritual Qi to transfer it to Old Qin.
In this way, after an unknown period of time, the conditions inside Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing's bodies gradually began to change.
Their internal organs, bones, and various wounds, which had been shattered by the vibrations, gradually began to self-repair until they were completely restored.
Old Qin and Ji Jiangxue then stopped the Spiritual Qi infusion treatment and carefully placed the two on the ground.
Old Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly took out a Medicinal Pill to restore his physical strength.
In contrast, Ji Jiangxue, apart from showing a worried expression, did not appear as disheveled as Old Qin due to Spiritual Qi exhaustion.
Old Qin said speechlessly, "Good heavens, if I hadn't been too rushed and forgotten that you are a mountain spirit, I should have let you do it just now. I was almost drained dry by the two of them."
Ji Jiangxue nodded in agreement, "If you tell me how to use Spiritual Qi for treatment, I will definitely do it myself. I am originally one with Mount Tai, so I never lack Spiritual Qi."
Old Qin shook his head helplessly, "That was hasty."
With the previous lessons learned, Old Qin then explained in detail to Ji Jiangxue how to use Spiritual Qi for healing.
Not long after, Ke Ming's injuries quickly recovered. She couldn't wait to go to Jin Meiting and Hu Bingbing's side and eagerly asked, "Why haven't they woken up yet?"
Facing their simultaneous inquiries, Old Qin replied impatiently, "Their injuries were too severe before. Although they have recovered now, it will probably take a while longer. They will only wake up after fully absorbing this Spiritual Qi."
