Ye Tianfan was now desperately flying forward. His face was deathly pale, and sweat trickled down his forehead, making it clear how weak Ye Tianfan currently was.

However, Ye Tianfan did not mind this. What did weakness matter if he could rescue the Chong Chong Bird? Even if it meant recuperating for a year or more, Ye Tianfan didn't care.

Eventually, halfway through his journey, Ye Tianfan was forced to stop because of spiritual power exhaustion. After resting for half a day, he hurried back to the Taichu Sect as fast as he could, and upon arriving at the mountain gate, he startled the gatekeeper disciple. After confirming his identity, he was finally let through.

Once Ye Tianfan entered the Taichu Sect, he rushed with all his strength toward the Taiyi Peak. He didn't first report to the Taichu Peak, nor did he check in on his master at the Taihuo Peak; he simply flew directly toward the Taiyi Peak.

Everything before Ye Tianfan's eyes was a blur, he was too exhausted. It was solely due to his immense willpower that he continued to fly toward the Taiyi Peak.

At this moment, Lu Waner was engaging in her routine cultivation. Since the Nine Veins Martial Gathering, she hadn't made much progress, which frustrated her greatly. She was now attempting to merge life attribute spiritual power with poison, a feat that would officially lead her into the sixth layer of the Myriad Profound and prevent any bottlenecks before advancing to the Qian Yuan realm.

Suddenly, Lu Waner seemed to hear something and immediately looked up, spotting a black dot.

Lu Waner put a hand over her forehead, puzzled, as she gazed at the black dot. "What is that? An enemy attack?" She laughed at her own thought. Here? This was the Taichu Sect, the leading powerhouse of the entire cultivation world. An attack was impossible.

Moreover, the black dot was growing larger, and soon Lu Waner could see clearly—it was a person.

Upon realizing it was a person, Lu Waner became furious. What was going on, flying directly over the hall? Why not land at the Taiyi Peak Plaza first? How presumptuous! You'll get a good lesson later.

Hmm? No, it wasn't heading for the hall. It was heading towards her. How strange, why fly directly to the training ground?

Lu Waner watched from below as the black dot grew larger and larger.

This black dot was Ye Tianfan. Currently, Ye Tianfan was in a daze, aware of nothing but flying in one direction, unintentionally heading straight for the Taiyi Peak training ground.

Ye Tianfan showed no sign of slowing down, crashing straight toward the ground.

"Strange? Why isn't he slowing down?" In the training ground, Lu Waner watched and felt something was wrong. Not slowing down in this situation meant he was either unconscious or showing off.

Why did Lu Waner first think he was unconscious? Because that was her instinctive thought as a healer.

"Wait? Isn't that Tianfan from the Taihuo Peak? Why does his face look so bad? Oh no!" Lu Waner finally saw clearly. It was a familiar face. Yet Ye Tianfan's complexion was ghastly pale, his eyes unfocused and nearly closed. Lu Waner realized that Ye Tianfan was no longer conscious and was flying purely on willpower.

Lu Waner quickly attempted to use magic to catch Ye Tianfan, but she was a bit too late. Ye Tianfan still plummeted to the ground. Fortunately, at the very last moment, he regained some awareness and managed to reduce his speed slightly before impact.

However, when Ye Tianfan hit the ground, the intense pain brought him fully awake.

Ye Tianfan, now revitalized, gritted his teeth to prevent the pain from hindering his actions. When he saw Lu Waner, it was like seeing a savior. He immediately released the severely injured Chong Chong Bird, then passed out.

Before losing consciousness, Ye Tianfan managed to say to Lu Waner, "Save it first."

Seeing the situation, Lu Waner quickly called for her senior brothers and sisters, and they set about treating both Ye Tianfan and the demon beast that seemed to be called Chong Chong Bird.

Ye Tianfan slowly woke, dazed for a while, then sat up and looked around, realizing he was likely in the Taichu Sect.

It had been a whole week since Ye Tianfan woke up. During this week, not only had Taiyi Peak informed Tian Chu Zhenren, but they also healed the Chong Chong Bird. Because of its silly nature, it had become the source of joy for the entire Taiyi Peak, and Lu Waner was currently its caretaker.

"You're awake now, that's good." At this moment, a voice came from the entrance as someone walked in.

Ye Tianfan looked up and vaguely recognized him. He remembered asking him for spiritual power replenishing pills during a previous campaign against the Demonic Sect. The man was tall and rugged in appearance. Ye Tianfan nodded, yes, it was him.

"Do you still have spiritual power replenishing pills? I've run out!" Ye Tianfan felt no embarrassment because he knew the medicines at Taiyi Peak, including those healing injuries and replenishing spiritual power, were abundant. They even crushed ineffective pills to use as fertilizer for herbs.

The man was at a loss between laughter and tears but still took out several bottles of the best spiritual power replenishing pills from his pocket and handed them to Ye Tianfan. After all, he could always make more, and having someone appreciate his pills was invaluable.

Yet he still warned Ye Tianfan, "You can't take these pills right now. Not only can't you take them now, but you can't train for the next six months either. Your meridians are too severely damaged. If you activate your spiritual power within these six months, the damage might become permanent, and then you'll be in trouble."

"I understand. What happened to the Chong Chong Bird I saved?" Ye Tianfan asked, eager to know if the bird had been successfully treated.

The man smiled when he heard "Chong Chong Bird" and began to say, "It has been healed..."

Before he could finish, a shadow suddenly rushed from behind him, shoving him aside, and dashed toward Ye Tianfan, leaping into his arms.

Ye Tianfan instinctively caught the shadow but ended up being slammed into the wall behind his bed.

"Cough cough!" Ye Tianfan coughed twice from the impact.

Then he heard the man's voice he had spoken with earlier, "Ouch, you're going to kill me! Doesn't it look where it's going? This Chong Chong Bird was healed long ago. See how lively it is now? It's become the delight of our Taiyi Peak."

Ye Tianfan then realized the shadow that crashed into his arms was indeed the Chong Chong Bird. Nestled in his embrace, the bird peered around with its silly, cute eyes, checking to see if Ye Tianfan's wounds had healed.
