âIt wasnât your fault,â Joe consoled Daya, his large hand caressing the energy core on her petite
abdomen. He channeled a surge of divine power into her body to aid her recovery.

Then, another divine power was channeled into Ynes. However, the meridians in her body were
broken, and she wouldnât accept his Chi, even though it was restorative mystical energy. Instead,
because there was nowhere to unlock his Chi, Ynesâ already weak body was injured further. She
vomited a mouthful of blood.
Joe jerked his hand away.

After some thought, he decided to use the Zharvakko spell formation he learned from the Ultimate
Book of Medicine. Guided by his own blood, it would protect her vital points.
âItâs Joe!â
Joe
Alex
âYou didnât die and returned safely so I can go in peace,â Ynes whispered as she opened her eyes and
looked at Joe.
Joe
Alex
âYouâre giving up, just like that?â Joe furrowed his brows. âIs your life so meaningless that you arenât
worth anything?â
Joe
Alex
âI was originally unattached, but ever since my master expelled me from the sect and I became the tea-
time laughing stock, Iâve had no home!â Ynes explained.
I was the only one who had the audacity to follow you around and make you responsible for me⦠But
this time, in your home⦠I was very happy. I experienced what itâs like to be in a family⦠Please let me
know⦠If I am being cared for⦠Thank you. Let me enjoy myself nowâ¦â
âYnes, you will be fine. Heâll be able to save you,â Beatrice sobbed.
âI know my situation. Even if I survive, it is just a soulless body. Let me face death with a little dignityâ¦
Alder, this is my last request⦠You have to promise me,â Ynes whimpered, her head shaking.
Alder,
Alex,
Several people were standing next to her, and they were all moved.
âAlder, perhaps she is correct. If she is paralyzed for the rest of her life, itâll be torture instead,â Stella
reasoned.
Alder,
Alex,
She reflected on herself and knew that sheâd rather die if she were in this situation.
âNo!â Joe refused. âYnes, your reputation in America has yet to be restored, and many people in your
division continue to misinterpret you, are you willing to let it go like this? Also, you havenât even
discovered who your true parents are yet. Are you willing to die like this?â
Joe
Alex
âSo, what should I do? Tell them that I, Ynes, have gone from being a holy maiden to a paralyzed
cripple and let them mock me for a few more years?â
ââ¦â
So the key question was still how to allow her to reclaim her cultivation.
However, whether it was the Ultimate Book of Medicine or Divine Power, it was impossible to heal her
because such severe injuries were beyond the scope of medical treatment.
At that time, Shellyâs voice rang out unexpectedly in the mind palace.
âItâs not impossible to allow her to heal and reclaim her cultivation.â
âHave you thought of a solution? Whatâs the answer?â Joe blurted out in excitement, causing the
people beside him to freeze.
Joe
Alex
âYou once absorbed a large amount of Water of River Styx and Yin-Yang Chi. Now, you even have the
Chaos Tree and the Ancestral Bodhi Tree in your mind palace,â Shelly said.
âWhat do you mean? Huhâ¦?â
âYou nourished her with your vital energy, enough to regrow her meridians and reunite her energy core.
The spiritual roots all will evolve too,â Shelly hummed.
Joe froze for a moment. Indeed, it was such an unusual method. However, there was a problemâ¦
Joe
Alex
âIâve been out of vital energy for a long time, and I have had several children.â
âOf course, I know about the initial vital energy⦠If a philandering man like you still has it, it would be
hell, but sub-vital energy is also possible. It just takes a little more,â Shelly said.
âHow much is required?â
âA hundred pounds, I figure, should be enough.â
âA hundred pounds? You want me to perish!â
