Qin Tianxiang carried Zhu Yanyi to the inn. Zhu Yanyi said to her, "Do not wake me for meals. I need lots of sleep to fix my empty energy."
"Okay," Qin Tianxiang nodded. "Just sleep. Luo Gang and I will guard outside."
Zhu Yanyi nodded and closed her eyes. Seeing she was truly asleep, Qin Tianxiang went out.
"Is the young lady okay?" Luo Gang asked as Qin Tianxiang came out.
Qin Tianxiang shook her head slightly. "Yanyi is very tired. She used all her energy to save someone. She needs sleep to recover. I think it is because of that magic needle."
"What needle?" Luo Gang asked.
Qin Tianxiang recalled the scene. "The pregnant woman was almost dead. Yanyi used a gold needle on her. A soft light came from the needle, wrapping the woman like a cocoon. I was surprised. That needle technique must have used all Yanyi’s energy."
Luo Gang thought for a moment. She trusted Zhu Yanyi. "If the young lady says sleep helps, we will not disturb her. Tianxiang, sleep in the room next to her. Watch carefully tonight. If she does not wake up tomorrow, we will find another way."
"Okay." Qin Tianxiang nodded and went to the next room.
Once Zhu Yanyi was sure they were gone, she entered the Ruyi Space.
She lay in the Spirit River water. The water washed away her tiredness. She drank two drops of Spirit Spring water and focused on absorbing it.
Slowly, Zhu Yanyi felt her wood power change. A green energy source began to reshape her meridians. As the green energy worked, her meridians became stronger. Her wood power, which she thought would not level up, actually did.
When she woke up, she washed off the gray dust on her skin. She checked her body carefully. Her wood power was back, and it was higher level. She smiled. People say wealth comes from risk. It is true. If she had not used all her wood power, who would know it could level up? Not only did it level up, but it also merged into her body’s meridians. This meant the wood power would never disappear.
Before, when her wood power was activated, Zhu Yanyi worried it might vanish. Now, she did not worry. As long as she lived, the wood power would stay with her.
She did not know yet that it was more than that. The wood power had mutated. Like the Ruyi Space, it merged into her soul. It would follow her through many lives. She would only discover the true meaning of the Nine Needles of Yanluo later. That is a story for another time.
