Without the Nine Hole Life Essence Stone, Zong Shou was only able to rely on pills. His body was still covered in many holes.
The injuries on his body weren't healed at all. Zong Shou spent most of his effort fighting against Li Biexue's remnant soul fragments and didn't have time to worry about anything else.
This was why there were still numerous sharp metal energies hidden in his body. They would explode out occasionally resulting in injuries to his body.
Luckily, most of his broken meridians were reconnected and they were all linked up and unobstructed.
He wouldn't be affected much by it when using spells or using the sword.
However, without a perfect body to protect them, the meridians were all really weak. With just a bit of impact, they might have collapsed once more.
Zong Shou didn't worry much about the situation in his body. After he woke up, he looked straight at Su Xiaoxiao.
