Damage to the Sea of Consciousness.

"Very troublesome?" Fang Chen couldn't help but feel a bit confused. It was just three claw marks the size of a palm. Why would it be very troublesome?

"Alas." The weapon spirit sighed slightly and continued, "Originally, this minor injury would have been easy to treat. But haven't you noticed? During such a critical moment before, I didn't have any healing pills for you. Haven't you ever wondered why?"

Hearing this, Fang Chen was stunned for a moment. Yes. Although the weapon spirit had said not to rely too much on pills before, when he was fighting against three Profound King Realm experts, if there had been a healing pill, with the weapon spirit's pill - refining skills, he would never have been forced into such a situation. In fact, if it weren't for his body giving out, he might have killed the man in black robes on the spot in that state.

Seeing Fang Chen stunned, the weapon spirit said helplessly, "Because the part of the memory related to refining healing pills isn't with me, so I simply don't know how to refine them."

"Uh..." Fang Chen rubbed his forehead. "This is indeed a bit troublesome. How much of your memory does that remnant soul have?"

"Not much. Just swordsmanship, pill - refining, and some trifles."

Hearing the weapon spirit's words, Fang Chen couldn't help but feel a bit angry. "It's not much, but they're all crucial things."

After saying that, Fang Chen raised his fist and gently knocked on his head. Was it because he had been unconscious for too long? Why did he always feel dizzy?

Seeing this, the weapon spirit hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Before, you comprehended the Dao Heart and forcibly used the Heavenly and Earthly Rules to first kill Wang Xu and then wound the man in black robes. However, your realm is really too low. Forcibly using the Heavenly and Earthly Rules twice has caused damage to your Sea of Consciousness."

"Damage to the Sea of Consciousness?" Fang Chen stood up with a start and asked in disbelief.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Wan Yuxuan was startled, thinking something had happened, and quickly asked.

Fang Chen absent - mindedly waved his hand and said softly, "It's nothing." After finishing speaking, seeing that Wan Yuxuan was still looking straight at him, he had to say again, "There's something wrong with my injury."

"Injury? What's the problem?" Wan Yuxuan was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. Fang Chen could refine medicine himself, and his level wasn't low. Could it be that he was at a loss himself? Thinking of this, her face was full of worry.

"Alas..." The weapon spirit sighed deeply. Fang Chen's reaction was normal. Damage to the Sea of Consciousness was a very serious matter. First, it would lead to incomplete comprehension of the Heavenly and Earthly Rules and difficulty in breaking through. Second, there would also be a situation where one's control over sword intent and profound qi would be insufficient despite one's intentions.

"Um..." While considering how to reassure Wan Yuxuan, Fang Chen suddenly had an idea. He quickly calmed his mind and asked, "What about the Soul - Calming Stone? Can the Soul - Calming Stone repair the Sea of Consciousness?"

Fang Chen suddenly remembered that when the weapon spirit was extremely weak before, after refining the Soul - Calming Stone, if it weren't for that remnant soul, it would have recovered long ago.

"Soul - Calming Stone?" Hearing this, the weapon spirit was slightly stunned. Then, after pondering for a moment, he said, "Yes, it can. It's just that you can't fully refine it..."

Speaking of this, the weapon spirit suddenly paused. He frowned and thought for a while, and then couldn't help but show a happy expression. "Yes. You can use the Dao Heart to draw on the Heavenly and Earthly Rules to forcibly refine the Soul - Calming Stone when you break through. What could refine it more thoroughly than the Heavenly and Earthly Rules? Ha - ha. Yes, that's it."

"Use the Heavenly and Earthly Rules to refine the Soul - Calming Stone?" Fang Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought again. Breaking through was easy to say. After all, after this battle, he was already on the verge of breaking through. But what did it mean to use the Dao Heart to draw on the Heavenly and Earthly Rules?

Before Fang Chen could ask, the weapon spirit continued, "I believe that through the previous battle, you have a certain understanding of the Dao Heart. Moreover, you should also know that every time you break through a major realm, different degrees of Heavenly and Earthly Rules will converge to strengthen the breakthrough cultivator's body and soul. At that time, you use the Dao Heart to draw on the Heavenly and Earthly Rules to fully refine the Soul - Calming Stone, and then the damage to your Sea of Consciousness should be able to be repaired."

"Should?" Fang Chen keenly detected the uncertainty in the weapon spirit's words.

"Yes. Because I don't know how much of the Heavenly and Earthly Rules you can draw on with your current control of the Dao Heart, and I'm also not sure to what extent the Heavenly and Earthly Rules you draw on can refine the Soul - Calming Stone." All these uncertainties still made the weapon spirit a bit worried.

Previously, the weapon spirit himself could refine the Soul - Calming Stone because he was a weapon spirit, and the Chaos Heavenly Book was equivalent to his body. He could swallow it and digest it naturally to absorb it. But Fang Chen couldn't. The damage to the Sea of Consciousness was a major issue. With the weapon spirit's incomplete memory at present, this important matter really couldn't be risked. Using the Dao Heart as a medium was the best way the weapon spirit could think of at present.

After hearing the weapon spirit's words, Fang Chen couldn't help but frown tightly. He rubbed his forehead and recalled the wonderful feeling during the battle before. He always felt that he had comprehended something, but he couldn't say or grasp it. After some hard thinking, he had to shake his head and give up.

Looking at Wan Yuxuan, who was quietly waiting aside, afraid of disturbing him, Fang Chen smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry. I'm fine. I've already found a solution."

"Really?" Wan Yuxuan stared straight at Fang Chen for a while. Only after making sure that he wasn't just comforting her did she continue, "That's good."

Anyway, let's give it a try first. After making a decision, Fang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Wan Yuxuan, and his heart couldn't help but feel a bit complicated. "Well... your injury..."

"Hmm?" Seeing Fang Chen looking at her with some hesitation, Wan Yuxuan was a bit confused. Then a flash of gloom in her eyes disappeared in an instant. She reached out and touched her cheek, feeling the three slightly raised scars, and said nonchalantly, "It's already fine. Don't worry about me."

How could it be fine? Even though Wan Yuxuan was a tomboy, she was still a woman after all. Which woman wouldn't care about her appearance? Moreover, they were such shocking scars!

Thinking of this, Fang Chen pondered for a while, then looked up into Wan Yuxuan's eyes and said seriously, "The injury on your face can be treated, but it will take some time."

"Really?" Wan Yuxuan was slightly stunned. After blurting it out, she suddenly came to her senses and continued to pretend not to care. "Actually, it's okay even if it can't be cured. Don't worry."

"Ha - ha." Seeing the valiant and heroic Wan Yuxuan being so duplicitous, with her eyes clearly full of expectation yet pretending to be indifferent, Fang Chen couldn't help but laugh. Then, seeing that Wan Yuxuan was a bit annoyed, he immediately said seriously, "No, I'm serious! It's just that one thing is still lacking for the moment. But it won't be long. Don't worry."
