Getting Stronger By Fighting

Meanwhile, all the people from the Tianyin Gate had already arrived near the Sky Pavilion.

However, Wang Zhan stayed hidden in the mountain forest, continually recuperating, as his strength hadn’t yet returned to its peak. Thankfully, his physical condition was under control.

"Brother Wang."

Zuo Linglong saw Wang Zhan gradually open his eyes and quickly sat down beside him, hurriedly asking, "How are you doing? Is your body recovering?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth. Though his complexion was somewhat pale, his internal condition was stabilized, just that...

"It may still take some time to fully recover. During this period, you and the Fire Qilin will need to stay by my side to stabilize the situation and protect me."

"Of course, I now have the ability to protect myself, so if you have something you need to attend to and wish to leave, I won’t insist otherwise."

After hearing these words, Zuo Linglong shook her head and, after glancing at Wang Zhan, she slowly spoke, "Brother Wang, what are you saying? How could I possibly leave you on your own? Your body hasn’t yet returned to its peak, and if anything unexpected happens, I’m worried I won’t even be able to handle it on my own..."

Fire Qilin, standing by the side, remained silent. In fact, as long as he was there, there was nothing to worry about concerning Wang Zhan’s condition.

After all, his strength was right here; the moment he appeared, all the nearby demonic beasts and beasts had already vanished, not daring to approach after sensing his presence.

Wang Zhan showed a touched smile on his face. After patting Zuo Linglong’s shoulder, he continued speaking, "During this time, don’t waste your time idly. Now, your alchemy skills are at their peak, and I have nothing more to teach you."

"If you wish to improve your cultivation, Feng Tianci is by your side, but I can’t teach you much either, so you’ll have to rely on yourself. However, your efforts are all seen by me, and I promise you a satisfying reward in the future."

Zuo Linglong hastily waved her hand, saying, "Brother Wang, you are too polite. I know alchemy all because of your help, and without you, how could I have made Feng Tianci my master?"

"Ultimately, the reason I have achieved what I have today is all because of you, so if you need anything, just tell me, there’s no need to be so formal."

Wang Zhan nodded.

He rose slowly after covering his chest, carefully examining the surroundings. After squinting his eyes slightly, he said lightly, "The environment here seems to be good; there should be a lot of herbs nearby. Currently, my body is not only severely damaged but also has many external injuries. If you have no other matters, you can help me gather some herbs."

"Help me recover as soon as possible."

Zuo Linglong nodded, "Brother Wang, don’t worry; I’ve got this covered. My strength may not compare to yours, but when it comes to identifying medicinal ingredients, no one can match me, rest assured!"

Wang Zhan nodded with satisfaction, then patted Zuo Linglong’s shoulder, continuing, "Although there’s not much danger around here, you should still be careful when going out. You never know when something unexpected might happen."

"Be sure to prioritize your safety."

While speaking, he looked at the Fire Qilin and instructed, "Old friend, accompany him on this trip. I’ll stay here alone."

"Though I currently don’t have much fighting ability, there won’t be anything to stop me even if something unexpected occurs."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Linglong quickly said, "Brother Wang, how can you say that? I know you’re concerned about me, but rest assured, I’ve improved significantly under Feng Tianci’s guidance. The Fire Qilin needs to stay by your side. If anything unexpected happens, he can assist you, so don’t worry about me."

Speaking, Zuo Linglong began to walk in one direction.

Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly. Watching Zuo Linglong’s back, he said softly, "Why do I feel like he has grown a lot? As if he’s changed a lot from before?"

Remembering Zuo Linglong’s former self, Wang Zhan fell into deep reminiscence.

Upon realizing his strength, Zuo Linglong immediately stayed close, pestering him, eventually making Wang Zhan take her to meet Feng Tianci out of sheer persistence.

In the end, he hadn’t actually taught Zuo Linglong much, only instructing her in alchemy.

Fire Qilin, lying on the ground, spoke without lifting his eyelids, "Where’s all this nonsense coming from? How could anyone go wrong being good to you? You’re really ungrateful."

"I..."

Wang Zhan was immediately embarrassed, coughing a bit before continuing, "Old friend, are you starting to make fun of me now? I really am becoming more and more useless, it’s truly frustrating."

The Fire Qilin did not respond to him.

"Focus on healing; with this time, perhaps you could fully restore your body. And if you keep rambling in my presence, I might just leave you here to fend for yourself."

Heh...

A self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth. Shaking his head helplessly, he stopped talking.

He understood well, the Fire Qilin was only joking.

How could he really leave now?

After all, even if Zuo Linglong wished to fight Wang Zhan now, he couldn’t even put up a real fight, and that was Wang Zhan’s current physical state...

Time ticked by slowly.

Wang Zhan never closed his eyes to rest. He had spent too much time today healing, and he had recovered quite a bit.

After glancing into the distance, he slowly stood and said to himself, "I really wonder what’s going on inside the Sky Pavilion. The Tianyin Gate will not give up easily, and with Luo Junce’s strength, plus the help of the Sky-suppressing Python and the Guards Battalion, if Feng Tianci can’t hold on, things could get very troublesome..."

It must be said, Wang Zhan started to get worried.

Everyone in the Sky Pavilion is his companion; he absolutely cannot let anything happen to them.

The Fire Qilin rose slowly, speaking calmly, "If I were you, I would focus all my time on myself because your body is severely damaged. If you can’t recover, you’ll just be here worrying without doing anything else."

"So it would be better to seize every opportunity to regain your strength. This could be beneficial to you, allowing you to reunite with your companions and fight side by side once more."

"Instead of saying useless things here."

Wang Zhan chuckled awkwardly, knowing well the Fire Qilin would indeed taunt him.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly, "By the way, have you sensed Zuo Linglong’s presence? Why has he been gone so long without any word?"

At once, Wang Zhan’s worry intensified.

Now, only Zuo Linglong was left by his side, so he couldn’t allow any accidents to happen to her, otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to explain to Feng Tianci and the others.

"I think you’re worrying too much."

The Fire Qilin answered impatiently, "Relax; before that woman left, I marked her. If anything unexpected happens, I will know immediately and can swiftly reach her, so there’s nothing to worry about."

"Your main task is to focus on healing here and not think about anything else since it has little to do with you."

Wang Zhan sighed helplessly but ultimately nodded.

Truth be told, the Fire Qilin’s meticulousness surprised Wang Zhan, having everything under control, beyond Wang Zhan’s expectations.

He thought the creature would ignore everything else forever.

Now, he realized he was wrong.

Suddenly, the sound of soft footsteps came from behind Wang Zhan, and soon, Zuo Linglong appeared carrying a bamboo basket, swiftly reaching Wang Zhan.

Putting the freshly gathered herbs before him, she said, "Master, look at these herbs. Will they be of any use? I found quite a few herbs on this mountain. Should you need anything else, just let me know, and I’ll find it for you immediately."

"We must restore your strength to its peak as soon as possible."
