Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1457

Chapter 1457: Chapter 751: Found It (2)

In the distance, the flickering light of a campfire brought warmth to the dark space.

"Cough... cough..."

He tried to cough but spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with pieces of his internal organs.

His internal organs felt as if they had been pulverized, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.

Even more terrifying, he could feel the meridians within him were like a dried-up riverbed, covered in cracks.

"Forcing the Origin Power twice indeed exceeded my limits..."

Gu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart.

This was supposed to be his trump card for survival, but when faced with the siege of numerous Heavenly Martial Realm masters, he had no other choice.

Looking back now, it was already a miracle that he managed to escape alive.

He tried to move his body again, but it only aggravated the pain.

After a dizzy spell, he had to give up and collapse back onto the ground.

"Someone’s here!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng keenly sensed movement at the cave entrance.

He immediately held his breath, enduring the intense pain to gather the last of his spiritual power.

Though he was in terrible condition, if there were indeed enemies, he could at least make a final stand.

"Young Master Gu! You’re awake?"

A clear female voice came from the cave entrance, brimming with unconcealed joy.

Gu Sheng was slightly taken aback; the voice was somewhat familiar.

Footsteps approached, and a girl in a light green dress appeared in his view.

She held a broad banana leaf filled with bright red wild fruits.

Sunlight streamed in from behind her, casting a golden edge around her.

"Xie... Xie Qingxuan?"

Gu Sheng recognized the newcomer, and his tense nerves slightly relaxed.

Xie Qingxuan hurried over to Gu Sheng’s side, squatting down, her eyes full of concern.

"Thank goodness! You’ve been unconscious for two days; I was so worried you..."

She stopped mid-sentence as if afraid to continue.

"Was it you... who saved me?"

Gu Sheng’s voice was hoarse, every word like a knife scraping through his throat.

Xie Qingxuan nodded, placing the banana leaf aside.

"I waited in the great hall for a long time without seeing you come out, so I went looking for a way out myself. After getting out, I found you unconscious not far away and brought you to this cave."

As she spoke, she took a water pouch from her waist, carefully lifting Gu Sheng’s head to let him drink a few sips.

The cool water trickled down his throat, making Gu Sheng feel a bit more comfortable.

He noticed Xie Qingxuan’s movements were very practiced, clearly indicating she had been taking care of him these two days.

"Thank you."

Gu Sheng expressed his gratitude sincerely.

In the Cultivation World, it’s rare to find someone willing to lend a hand to a stranger.

Xie Qingxuan shook her head, a blush rising to her cheeks.

"Young Master Gu, you overstate it. If you hadn’t saved me in the great hall, I’d have been dead already. This small thing is nothing."

Gu Sheng said nothing more. In cultivation, one values Cause and Effect, and he would remember this kindness.

"How long was I unconscious? Where is this place?"

He turned to ask.

"About two days."

Xie Qingxuan counted on her fingers.

"We are already far from Spirit Flame Mountain; I’ve brought you more than three thousand miles east."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

At this distance, the people from the two major sects shouldn’t be able to catch up anytime soon.

However...

"You didn’t encounter any search parties from the two major sects?"

Xie Qingxuan shook her head.

"No. I took the small and remote paths, and besides..."

She hesitated for a moment.

"I used the Concealing Talisman given to me by my grandfather."

Gu Sheng looked at her with a hint of surprise.

The Concealing Talisman was valuable; it seemed Xie Qingxuan’s grandfather held a significant position in the Xie Family.

"You needn’t worry."

Gu Sheng saw her concern.

"Their target is me; the Xie Family won’t be implicated."

Xie Qingxuan bit her lip.

"That’s not my worry... I’m worried about your injuries."

Her eyes fell on Gu Sheng’s cracked hand, full of distress.

"Your injuries... are very serious, aren’t they?"

Gu Sheng let out a bitter smile.

"Indeed not light. Internal organs are damaged, meridians shattered, Origin Power exhausted."

He paused.

"But I won’t die."
