Chapter 59: Two Leaves of Life
Inside the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace.
Jiang Li and the others had successfully arrived at Prince Xu Tianran's palace.
The palace was decorated in an extravagant manner, with walls inlaid with various precious gems, glimmering with a myriad of colors under the sunlight.
"Welcome to the Sun Moon Empire. Would you like me to show you around the empire first?"
Xu Tianran was extremely excited.
If the Star Auction House could truly heal his legs, which he hadn't been able to walk on for years, it would be a turning point in his fate.
How could he stay calm in such a situation?
However, he knew that Jiang Li and the others had come a long way, and they must be very tired from their journey. So, he wanted them to settle down first and rest before starting the treatment.
After all, it would only take a few days, and he believed he could afford to wait patiently.
"No need. Let's start right away. We have other matters to attend to later."
At this, Jiang Li said in a serious tone.
He knew how urgent time was and that there was no need to waste precious time here. They needed to quickly secure the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
It was better not to delay things and risk any unforeseen circumstances.
"Alright."
Xu Tianran was completely focused on healing his legs, and hearing that they were ready to start immediately, he quickly agreed.
He immediately turned around and urgently instructed his servants to prepare a quiet, secret chamber for the treatment.
To him, healing his legs was the most important task, and during the treatment, nothing could go wrong.
Otherwise, his years of hope would be shattered once again.
After half an hour of intense preparation, Jiang Li and the others arrived in a secret chamber.
The room was filled with a tranquil aura, with night pearls embedded in the walls that emitted a soft glow, making the entire chamber bright and cozy.
"Don't worry during the treatment. Everything you feel is a normal reaction."
Ling Yun stepped lightly toward Xu Tianran's side, speaking softly.
Her voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, crisp and pleasant, calming anyone who heard it.
Ling Yun gently opened her right hand, and in an instant, a Life God Tree emanating a mysterious aura appeared out of nowhere.
The tree was tall and straight, its trunk sturdy, and its branches were filled with vibrant green leaves, each one shining with the light of life.
The vast life force radiated from the tree, like a surging wave spreading outwards.
After Ling Yun's life force reached its extreme attribute, the power was so pure it was overwhelming.
It was a kind of life force that couldn't be described by words, as if it contained the mysteries of the origin and growth of all things in the world.
"What powerful life force! Is this the extreme life martial soul?"
Xu Tianran, standing closest to Ling Yun, could naturally feel most intensely the purity and strength of the life force.
His expression showed an uncontrollable shock.
A sense of awe and amazement rose within him.
Moreover, Xu Tianran clearly felt that even though it was just a trace of life force emanating in the air, after absorbing it, many of the old injuries in his body, left from years ago, seemed to loosen, as if they were about to heal the moment they touched sunlight.
This discovery gave Xu Tianran even greater hope for his leg recovery. His heart began to race, his eyes full of anticipation and longing.
Ling Yun did not use any soul skills, only gently raising her right hand, carefully plucking a green leaf from the Life God Tree.
This leaf seemed to contain the essence of the entire Life God Tree, carrying vast green light. Under Ling Yun's control, it suddenly fell into Xu Tianran's legs.
With the tremendous life force, it was instantly infused into Xu Tianran's legs.
"I can feel it!"
Xu Tianran could clearly feel a tingling sensation in his legs, which had previously been numb. At this moment, he felt a slight itch.
The sensation was strange—slightly itchy, with a touch of warmth, as if countless tiny ants were crawling gently on his legs.
This feeling grew stronger, and the itch turned into a soreness, as if his legs were being awakened by a powerful force.
Xu Tianran almost couldn't bear it and wanted to scratch to alleviate the intense discomfort.
Fortunately, Ling Yun had reminded him earlier. He endured the discomfort and held on.
He knew this was a crucial period of the treatment, and if he could get through it, he might be able to stand up again and regain the ability to walk freely.
Xu Tianran was very curious, not expecting that, without using any soul skills, just a single leaf from the martial soul could treat his long-standing leg ailment.
This made him gain a deeper understanding of Ling Yun's strength and he couldn't help but marvel at how powerful it was.
Ling Yun waited quietly for the effect of the first leaf to subside.
While waiting, her gaze remained focused on Xu Tianran's legs, observing every subtle change.
Once the effect of the first leaf faded completely, she extended her hand again and plucked another leaf from the tree.
Just like the first time, this leaf, under her control, gently fell into Xu Tianran's legs.
"Alright, two leaves of life are enough to heal your legs. After the treatment, you can stand up and try walking."
Ling Yun said slowly, her voice filled with confidence and certainty.
She, like everyone else, quietly waited for the final result.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran felt an overwhelming joy rise within him, as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness.
With a nervous heart, he stared at his legs, waiting for the effect of the leaf to dissipate.
Every second of waiting felt incredibly long, and his palms were already drenched in sweat.
After a while, when the second leaf had completely faded, Xu Tianran could clearly feel that his legs had regained full sensation.
The feeling made him overjoyed. He could hardly believe what he was feeling. He instinctively moved his toes and truly felt a slight movement in his legs.
"Come help me up."
Xu Tianran took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions. He said to the two guards beside him.
With their help, Xu Tianran slowly stood up.
Having not walked in so many years, standing up suddenly made his body slightly unsteady. His legs trembled as if they might collapse under his weight at any moment.
After a moment, Xu Tianran adapted to the sensation.
He began to walk slowly back and forth in the chamber. At first, his steps were a bit unsteady, but with more steps, they became more stable.
A joyful smile spread across his face, as if he was letting out all the frustrations of the years.
As he walked, he felt the power returning to his legs, and his heart was filled with gratitude for Ling Yun, Jiang Li, and the others.
"Ha!"
After walking for a while, Xu Tianran slowly stopped, trying to calm his emotions.
He slowly walked up to Jiang Li, his face full of sincere gratitude, and said in a serious tone, "Thank you!"
Those two words carried the truest emotions from the bottom of his heart, with no trace of falsehood or pretense.
