Chapter 207 Deep Master-Disciple Affection, Refining the Lockheart Gu_1
Lu Changsheng held Nangong Mili's pale and delicate wrist, as mana and divine sense entered her body.
He immediately noticed that her physical body was weak, her meridians and dantian were dried up, and she was in a state of severe stress.
She must have suffered a serious injury and used some kind of life-consuming secret technique.
"Is this a Nascent Soul Immortal's True Elixir?"
Afterward, Lu Changsheng's divine sense ventured into the interior of Nangong Mili's Qi Ocean Core.
There, on the Dao platform, a round, dimly-lit, dark purple True Elixir quietly floated.
This was the first time that Lu Changsheng had seen a real True Elixir.
He had only read descriptions of it in books before.
His divine sense touched the True Elixir.
He vaguely sensed a mysterious charm of the laws of the world.
The True Elixir that a cultivator condenses is related to the cultivation technique and foundation they have cultivated.
Through the True Elixir, one can roughly discern a person's mana, cultivation technique, and foundation.
Therefore, both the Dao Foundation and the Golden Core are the privacy of cultivators.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Unless the relationship between two people is very intimate,
they would never allow others to look inside their Qi Ocean Core at the Dao Foundation and Golden Core.
Lu Changsheng also took advantage of Nangong Mili's unconscious state to take a curious glance and broaden his knowledge.
"This True Elixir should be a Middle Grade True Elixir, around Fourth or Fifth Grade, perhaps?"
Looking at the True Elixir, Lu Changsheng pondered internally.
According to what he knew, Core Formation was graded into nine grades.
From Ninth to Seventh Grade were considered Low-Grade Flawed Cores.
With a Low-Grade Flawed Core, one's chance to break through to Nascent Soul in this lifetime is already doomed.
The worst, a Ninth Grade True Elixir, is even referred to as a Mixed Core.
Without great opportunity, not to mention an abrupt breakthrough to Nascent Soul, even advancing to Mid Nascent Soul Stage is very difficult.
Sixth to Fourth Grade are considered Middle Grade True Elixirs.
This quality of Core Formation theoretically has a sliver of hope for breaking through to Nascent Soul.
But the hope is extremely faint.
Without a great opportunity, it's basically impossible.
Third to First Grade are Superior Gold Cores!
Once a Golden Core is formed, there is a significant hope of breaking through to Nascent Soul!
They are true geniuses! Exceptional individuals! Referred to as Nascent Soul Seeds!
"The True Elixir is dim and lusterless; it seems the situation is indeed quite serious."
"Naturally, what could have left a Nascent Soul Immortal so weak and unconscious, the injuries must be far from ordinary."
"Although there's no risk to her life, waking her up and recovering will be far from easy."
"If she isn't treated immediately, and precious materials and treasures aren't used to warm and nourish the physical body's meridians and the True Elixir, not only will it be difficult to awaken, but even if she does wake up, it's expected that there will be damage to the foundation and a regression in cultivation level."
Lu Changsheng examined her one more time with his divine sense.
He made a rough judgement about Nangong Mili's condition.
After all, as a Nascent Soul Immortal, her vitality was extremely tenacious, and she wouldn't die so easily.
But if things kept dragging out like this, whether she could awaken and recover was really hard to say.
And even if she did wake up, it's very likely that she would be left with chronic problems and suffer damage to her foundation and regression in cultivation level.
"Lu Lang, how is it, how is the condition of my mentor..."
At this moment, Meng Xiaochan looked toward Lu Changsheng with hopeful eyes and asked in a weak voice.
"Your mentor's condition is quite troublesome..."
Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly and shook his head.
Nangong Mili's condition was indeed troublesome.
He didn't have any good solutions for such a situation,
only the most straightforward and old-fashioned ones.
Elixir medicines, talismans, Yin-Yang Nirvana Art, Life Extension Technique—the whole array of treatments.
But to stabilize the condition of a Nascent Soul Immortal like Nangong Mili would be difficult, and the cost was sure to be enormous!
And he had no relationship with Nangong Mili, so why would he go to such lengths to save her.
Hearing this, Meng Xiaochan's expression immediately dimmed.
She had just checked on Nangong Mili's condition.
She knew that her mentor was in a very bad state right now.
Yet she had an inexplicable trust in Lu Changsheng, Find adventures on empire
subconsciously placing her hopes on him.
"However, it's not entirely hopeless."
Lu Changsheng, seeing Meng Xiaochan's pitiful appearance, pondered for a moment and spoke softly.
He had given up on taking advantage of the situation to harvest from Nangong Mili,
but he hadn't completely abandoned the idea.
After his examination, he discovered that Nangong Mili was likely still a virgin and possessed True Elixir Yuan Yin.
At the same time, he discovered that Nangong Mili's True Elixir had a Yin Chill attribute.
She must have cultivated some Yin Chill Attribute Technique.
If Nangong Mili were to wake up and recover, it's possible she could suppress the eruption of Ling Zixiao's Dragon Roar Physique and allow him the opportunity to resolve his own Dragon Roar Physique issues.
Saving her life and taking some benefits in return wouldn't be excessive, right?
"Lu Lang, do you have a way?"
Meng Xiaochan's eyes lit up at his words.
"Yes,"
Lu Changsheng nodded and spoke, "Xiao Chan, as people of the Five Poisons Cult from Jin Kingdom, you are currently being pursued and hunted by the Heavenly Sword Sect. Saving her would surely bring trouble upon me."
"Moreover, the method I have for saving people involves dual cultivation secret techniques."
"If I proceed with the rescue, not only will it cost me greatly, but afterward, your mentor might blame me and even make an attempt on my life."
"So why would I pay such a price to save someone?"
Lu Changsheng looked at the pitiful Meng Xiaochan before him and said earnestly.
He did feel somewhat tender-hearted and pity for Meng Xiaochan,
but he was not an indiscriminately kind person.
He wasn't going to act soft-hearted and disregard the costs and consequences, exhausting his own source of life to assist and rescue.
Moreover, while he trusted Meng Xiaochan,
he had no trust at all in her mentor, the Demon Path witch Nangong Mili.
Who knows if, after saving her, she wouldn't turn around and act ungrateful.
A Nascent Soul Immortal, even in a weakened state, has extraordinary methods.
"Dual cultivation secret techniques… costing greatly…"
