Cangxiang Zihan, Cangxiang Ziwu and Yu Er Dan sat on a cloud which moved swiftly. After Cangxiang Zihan had taken them away, Cangxiang Ziwu had thrown a tantrum about how he left Lu Zheng to die.
It took a while but Cangxiang Zihan and Yu Er Dan calmed Cangxiang Ziwu's temper.
Even so, Cangxiang Zihan still turned constantly to check if Lu Zheng was already coming.
"Stop bothering yourself, it's no use. That person is most likely dead" Cangxiang Zihan would say occasionally.
Cangxiang Ziwu knew Jian Hu's strength but some sort of hope still welled in her heart. Whenever she reminded the scene of Lu Zheng sealing Jian Hu, she would believe that he had survived.
Yu Er Dan did not idle. She had suffered many injuries from Jian Hu even with Cangxiang Zihan's defensive methods. She sat down to tend to her injuries.
All of a sudden, a man appeared on the floating cloud Cangxiang Zihan had made.
"It's him!" Cangxiang Ziwu exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Zheng did not speak. His eyes were dim and lacked the normal shine they usually had. It was obvious that his soul energy was extremely low.
He sat down and absorbed the soul energies inside the Soul Absorbing Gem. Slowly, his Soul Lake rose with the frozen liquid that was his Sea of Consciousness.
Cangxiang Zihan and Cangxiang Ziwu did not disturb him. Who knew what he had gone through in the hands of Jian Hu?
After a long while, Lu Zheng opened his eyes but before he could speak, Cangxiang Ziwu willed out a pill from her spatial ring and fed it to him.
"It is an Immortal Pill that strengthens one's physique and heal serious injuries"
The fragrance of the Immortal Pill wafted into Lu Zheng's nose and it twitched in excitement. The Immortal Pill was on a whole new level compared to the Spirit Grade Pills that Lu Zheng normally consumed.
As Cangxiang Zihan watched his sister place Lu Zheng's head on her laps to feed him, some sort of jealousy rose from his heart.
"I exerted myself to protect you from Jian Hu and brought you to safety. I deserve to be fed like a baby" Cangxiang Zihan shouted in his mind but still remained calm on the surface. Only, a slight frown formed on his face.
Yu Er Dan did not find Cangxiang Ziwu's actions surprising. Her friend was always like this, kind and caring even to strangers. Perhaps that was why she had great affinity for alchemy.
Lu Zheng's cheeks became rosy and his natural skin colour was restored. The effects of the Immortal Pill were swift to show themselves.
Cangxiang Ziwu sat Lu Zheng up as Yu Er Dan asked warmly: "What is your name?"
Lu Zheng turned to face this female and noticed that she wasn't human. In fact, none of them was human. There were many races in the main world that nobody knew them all. Lu Zheng couldn't identify what race they came from.
Even so, he did not care. Lu Zheng was not racist at all.
Lu Zheng smiled: "Lu Zheng, I am a lone martial practitioner"
Yu Er Dan sighed softly. Thankfully, he wasn't a demonic path martial practitioner. With such a person, they could not be at ease even if he helped them earlier. Demonic path martial practitioners were very unpredictable.
Cangxiang Ziwu and the others asked a few more questions and they found out where Lu Zheng was headed. It just happened to be on the way towards their destination.
"That's not far from where we're going" Cangxiang Ziwu beamed a bright smile. "Why don't we take you there and you can follow us to Eight Extremities Palace"
Lu Zheng had a pleased expression. It seemed they hadn't forgotten his reward.
Lu Zheng flicked his wrist and tore open a spatial passage leading to Immortal Star and entered. Before entering, he said to Cangxiang Ziwu: "Let's take a shortcut"
Cangxiang Ziwu had a knowing expression. From the way Lu Zheng easily tore open a spatial passage, he was definitely a space path martial practitioner.
"How many paths does this Lu Zheng cultivate?" Yu Er Dan muttered to herself as she went into the spatial passage.
Cangxiang Ziwu and her brother had no reservations either as they followed. In any case, they were many times stronger than Lu Zheng and had the backing of Eight Extremities Palace. He would never dare to harm them.
