章節 7: Demonic Spider - Legend of Traveler Swallowing the Starry Sky And Perfect World

Jin Peng was standing silently next to Shi Yi, anxiously waiting to see if the joint efforts of Yuwangfu and Wuwangfu would be able to save the dying man.

Preparing the holy medicine was a time-consuming task, as it required a variety of precious ingredients to bring out its full medicinal potential. Yu Mo persevered, determined to create the perfect remedy.

After a long wait of five hours, Yu Mo finally presented a small jade bottle containing a tiny amount of purple powder. Despite the cart of precious medicine brought by Yuwangfu being empty, Yu Mo was able to extract the final essence from half a plant of holy medicine and countless other rare ingredients.

Shi Yi struggled to sit up and looked on eagerly as the jade bottle was brought out. His chest wound had started to heal, but he still required the medicine to fully recover.

As everyone was about to administer the holy medicine to Yurou, a man with a pair of halberds rushed in, gasping for breath.

With great care, Yu Mo held the small jade bottle filled with a tiny amount of purple powder. Despite using half a plant of holy medicine and many precious ingredients, only this small amount of the remedy could be produced.

Shi Yi struggled to sit up and looked at the jade bottle with anticipation. Although his chest wound was starting to heal, he knew that the holy medicine was crucial for a full recovery.

As everyone was about to give Yurou the medicine, a man with a pair of halberds rushed in and gasped, "Please wait!"

The man, who turned out to be Shi Ziteng, Yurou's husband and Shi Yi's father, immediately rushed to his wife's bedside and held her arm tightly, overcome with emotion.

Shi Yi wanted to remind his father to focus on Yurou's healing first, but before he could speak, Shi Ziteng noticed his son and exclaimed, "Yi'er, you're alright!"

Shi Ziteng then turned his attention back to his wife, holding her arm and shedding tears of heartache and pity.

"Please, let's give Yurou the medicine first," Jin Peng pleaded, trying to keep the focus on Yurou's well-being.

Shi Yi was in disbelief as his father claimed he was fine despite his visible wounds. However, the Patriarch of Wuwang Mansion intervened, requesting Shi Ziteng to step aside so they could treat Yurou.

Another man in golden armor, who is from Molinghu, was also present in the Yangxin Pavilion. He noticed the small jade bottle in Yu Mo's hand and, being an immemorial relic and nearly pure-blooded demon spider, he instinctively sensed that it contained holy medicine.

After Shi Ziteng was moved away, Yu Mo applied part of the purple powder on Yurou's wound and fed her the rest. He then helped Yurou absorb the essence of the medicine by softening its potency.

The holy medicine began to dissolve, filling the Yangxin Pavilion with an intoxicating fragrance that contained endless energy.

The magic spider let out a deep breath, intoxicated by the holy medicine's essence, and then turned its gaze to Yurou lying on the jade bed.

Meanwhile, Shi Yi activated his double pupils to observe the changes in Yurou's vitality as they fed her the medicine. The wound on her abdomen began to heal at a visible rate, and her vitality slowly began to increase.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the positive progress. However, Shi Yi suddenly noticed that the essence of the holy medicine was disappearing at a slow rate, as if being swallowed by the void.

While the clan elders mistook this as a normal occurrence, Shi Yi's double pupils allowed him to see through the essence. He looked in the direction where the essence was disappearing and saw the magic spider in the Demon Spirit Lake, intoxicated with the holy medicine's essence, which it had absorbed in large quantities.

"Stop!" Yu Mo suddenly spoke up, holding out his hand to stop Shi Ziteng.

"The magic spider is an immemorial relic, and its actions may not necessarily be out of malice. Perhaps it simply acted on instinct and was drawn to the holy medicine's energy," Yu Mo explained calmly.

Shi Ziteng hesitated for a moment before slowly putting down his halberds. "But what about Yurou? She needs the holy medicine to recover," he said, his voice pleading.

"We can try to negotiate with the magic spider," Yu Mo suggested. "Perhaps we can offer it something in exchange for the holy medicine essences it has taken."

Shi Yi nodded in agreement. "I can use my double pupils to communicate with the magic spider and see if we can strike a deal," he said.

Jin Peng also spoke up. "I can use my connections to gather rare treasures and see if any would interest the magic spider," he offered.

Shi Ziteng took a deep breath, considering their options. "Alright, let's try to negotiate with the magic spider," he agreed.

Yu Mo nodded in satisfaction. "Then let us begin. We cannot waste any more time."

Shi Ziteng's face turned cold as he heard the demon spider's words.

"Sharing? You call it sharing when you sneakily steal it without permission? What kind of demon spider are you?"

Shi Ziteng's tone was sharp and filled with anger.

The demon spider's eyes glinted with a dangerous light. "What? You humans are always so self-righteous. In the world of demons, it's survival of the fittest. If you can't even protect what's yours, then you don't deserve it."

Shi Ziteng took a step forward, and his halberds glinted in the dim light of the room.

"Enough of your nonsense. Return the holy medicine essence now, or I will make you regret it."

The demon spider let out a low growl, its eight legs tapping on the ground, ready to attack at any moment.

Shi Yi stepped forward, pleading with both of them. "Please, let's not resort to violence. We can work out a solution that benefits everyone."

Shi Ziteng hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered his halberds. "Fine, let's hear your solution."

The demon spider let out a triumphant cackle. "Good choice, young one. Let's talk about how we can all benefit from this situation."

In a firm yet pleading tone, Shi Ziteng exclaimed, "Master Spider, please reconsider! My wife's life is at stake here. I implore you to return the essence of the holy medicine!"

The devil spider responded with a hoarse and piercing voice, "Human, you dare to threaten me? I am an elder of the division!"

Shi Ziteng was not afraid and swung his halberds at the spider. The spider quickly blocked the attack with a golden spider silk web, and warned Shi Ziteng, "You are making a mistake, young man!"

Shi Ziteng was determined to save his wife and continued to press towards the magic spider, saying, "I will not back down until you return the essence of the holy medicine!"

In response, the magic spider grew two spider legs, covered in black bone spurs and venom, ready to attack Shi Ziteng. However, Shi Ziteng stood his ground and pleaded, "Master Spider, please don't make a rash decision. We are all members of the same division. Please show us mercy and return the essence of the holy medicine to save my wife's life."

"Senior, please take action!"Shi Yi asked Jinpeng for help.

"Magic spider, come to the capital to cause trouble, come back to the palace with me." Jin Peng stretched out his hand, turned into a golden bird's claw in the air, and grabbed the spider.

In an instant, an overwhelming aura that surpassed that of a prince emanated from Jinpeng, combined with his powerful techniques. The magic spider was quickly subdued with just one move, shrinking in size and turning into a small spider with a golden back and black legs the size of a human head.

"Senior Jin, thank you for your timely intervention," Shi Yi expressed his gratitude.

Although Shi Ziteng was a prodigy who had achieved the peak of inscription patterns at a young age, the magic spider was of a higher rank and had been practicing for a longer period, making him far stronger than Shi Ziteng.

Jin Peng responded by reaching out his hand, which transformed into a golden bird's claw that caught the spider. His technique and overwhelming strength subdued the magic spider with ease, reducing it to a human-sized, golden-backed black-legged spider.

Jin Peng held the spider upside down by its eight legs, watching as Yu Mo and his team administered the holy medicine to those in need.

Shi Ziteng was grateful to Jinpeng and bowed in thanks. If it weren't for Jinpeng's intervention, he would have had to seek help from Prince Wu's residence to subdue his uncle.

Jinpeng nodded in response and turned his attention back to Yurou. Shi Yi couldn't help but notice that the once fearsome spider now hung lifeless in Jinpeng's grip.

Shi Yi deeply reflected on the importance of power. He realized that without power, one would not be able to protect their loved ones, and would be at the mercy of those who had it. He knew that in this dangerous world, strength was the key to survival, and he was determined to become stronger.

With this realization, Shi Yi made a vow to himself to devote all his time and efforts to improving his skills and gaining more power. He would not rest until he had achieved his goals, and he would use his newfound strength to protect those who were important to him.

From that day forward, Shi Yi became even more diligent in his training, and he sought out every opportunity to hone his skills. He was determined to become a powerful warrior, and he knew that his hard work and dedication would eventually pay off.

Shi Yi watched as his father rushed to his mother's side, showing his affectionate side. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight, but he also felt grateful for his mother's love towards him.

In a discussion between Shi Yi and Shi Ziteng, it was noted that the holy medicine was still in the process of melting on Yurou's side. Shi Yi observed it carefully and noticed that everything was normal. Almost all the essence of the holy medicine had been absorbed by Yurou.

As Yurou absorbed the essence of the holy medicine, her complexion became more ruddy, and she could feel her breath even out. Her body was filled with vitality.

Shi Ziteng hurried forward to check on Yurou's condition, holding her hand with concern. "Rou'er, how are you doing?"

Shi Yi rolled his eyes at his father's overly concerned tone. He knew his father was a doting husband, and Shi Yi himself might be the result of an accident.

Yurou slowly opened her eyes and called out to Shi Yi, worried that he might be in danger too. "Yi'er!"

Shi Yi reassured her, "Mom, I'm fine."

It was clear to Shi Yi that Yurou loved her children more than anything else, compared to his father's wife-loving tendencies.

As Yurou opened her eyes, she called out to Shi Yi, worried about his safety. He reassured her that he was fine, causing a sense of relief to wash over her.

Yurou's reaction was in stark contrast to Shi Ziteng's as she threw away his arm and struggled to sit up, ignoring her weakness after waking up just moments ago. She hugged Shi Yi tightly, showing her love and concern for her son.

Shi Yi gasped in pain as his wound on his chest reopened. Yurou let go of him, sensing his pain. She couldn't help but shed tears as she saw the terrible wound on his chest.

"Yi'er, you..." Yurou's heart ached as she gently caressed the wound on Shi Yi's chest, feeling like someone had stabbed her heart with a knife.

"It's okay, it's just a flesh injury. It will heal soon," Shi Yi reassured his mother, trying to calm her down.

Shi Yi tried his best to remain composed and stand in a calm manner,

"Rou'er, you were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Yi'er was the one who carried you into the palace to find the Emperor Stone and request half a plant of holy medicine to save you."

Yu Mo said to hear yuruo who was almost brought back from the dead. Everyone in Prince Wu's Mansion was relieved that Yurou survived without any regrets.

Yurou couldn't contain her emotions and broke down in tears, holding Shi Yi's small face and kissing him on the forehead. "Yi'er, you did a great job!" Even Shi Ziteng praised his son.

Just as Shi Yi was about to say something, he saw Shi Ziteng carefully helping Yurou to lie down and giving her instructions to not move around and take good care of her injuries. Shi Yi felt a sense of frustration, wondering if he was really just an accident.

Jin Peng observed the heartwarming scene of the family and was moved. However, he did not forget the mission at hand.

"Shi Yi, are you willing to follow me to the imperial palace to practice?" Jin Peng asked.

Shi Yi was hesitant and unsure how to tell his mother. Yurou, understanding the situation, encouraged him to go to the imperial palace, even though she was reluctant to part with him.

Shi Yi turned to his father, hoping for some support. However, Shi Ziteng was too engrossed in his affection for Yurou to pay attention to his son.

Finally, Shi Ziteng snapped out of it and nonchalantly agreed to the plan.

Shi Yi felt disappointed with his father's lack of interest in him compared to his mother's doting. He was used to Yurou's love and care, but his father's disregard for him made him feel displeased.

Shi Yi expressed his gratitude towards the elders of King Wu's Mansion and the people of Prince Yu's Mansion who had helped him and his mother. He bowed deeply as a sign of respect and promised to always remember their kindness in his heart. Without their assistance, he knew that he and his mother would have suffered a great deal, and their lives might have been in danger.

Jin Peng observed the scene and was impressed by Shi Yi's display of gratitude and respect towards the elders. He believed that cultivating virtues such as repaying kindness, filial piety, and observing etiquette and righteousness were essential traits.

As Shi Yi's wounds had repeatedly reopened, Jin Peng decided not to have him walk back to the palace. Instead, he arranged for a carriage from Prince Wu's Mansion to transport Shi Yi directly to the royal palace.
