"Tianyi, have I made a mistake? If it were you, you wouldn't let her go, would you?"
"But that's the only way to save you, our daughter... she's just as stubborn as I am. How can I possibly control her?"
Xiao Chitai looked at the woman lying on the Cold Ice Jade Bed and slowly began to speak, as if conversing with her.
Watching the woman quietly lying there, Xiao Chitai was overcome with deep anguish, wishing he could switch places with her and lie there himself.
Then, Xiao Chitai reached out to touch the woman's head, slowly placing his palm on it, and a surge of powerful Spiritual Power flowed out, pouring into the woman's skull.
The strong vitality instantly flooded into the woman's brain, confronting the grey death qi spreading from the lower half of her body.
This continued for a full hour before Xiao Chitai's Spiritual Power was exhausted, drenched in sweat, finally stopping.
He then picked up the gourd hanging from his waist, immediately opened it, and drank heavily from it.
This wine in the gourd was not ordinary wine but Seventh Rank Spirit Essense True Spirit Muddiness.
It should be noted that this True Spirit Muddiness is tremendously effective in restoring Spiritual Power, far better than ordinary Low-grade Spirit Crystals. Even ordinary Creation Realm Experts wouldn't squander it as drinking wine, as it's a powerful means of restoring Spiritual Power during combat.
In Zi Ling's eyes, Xiao Chitai was a drunken man who lived for alcohol.
However, Zi Ling knew nothing about how Xiao Chitai had for the past thirty-nine years gone daily to his beloved wife's Cold Ice Stone Bed, infusing powerful Spiritual Power to transform into Pure Yang Power to combat the grey death qi within Zi Tianyi's body, preventing it from spreading.
Yet, despite this, all Xiao Chitai could do over these years was prevent its spread to Zi Tianyi's head region, completely expelling the deadly poison from her body was utterly impossible.
Moreover, for thirty-nine years, the daily infusion of Spiritual Power for his wife has had a huge impact on him.
His Cultivation had shown no progress for thirty-nine years and instead he needed True Spirit Muddiness daily to restore his Spiritual Power.
However, True Spirit Muddiness is exceedingly valuable and rare, a single gourd costing ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals.
For all these years, the family wealth of Yellow Hall has been taken by Xiao Chitai to exchange for wine.
Everything Xiao Chitai did was for his beloved wife, yet in Zi Ling's uninformed eyes, he was just a coward and a drunk.
This Yellow Hall originally belonged to Zi Tianyi; after she fell into a coma, Xiao Chitai became the new instructor but caused Yellow Hall, which originally surpassed Heaven Hall, to decline to its present state.
Hence, Zi Ling, who was uninformed and only saw the surface, held a great grievance against Xiao Chitai and refused to acknowledge him as her father.
Zi Ling did not understand Xiao Chitai's intentions, and in her anger, even changed her surname, originally called Xiao Ling, she changed to Zi Ling after her mother.
Xiao Chitai was indeed not bothered by this.
Now, though he has heard of the Water of Life's news, the Ancient Ruins are too dangerous, Xiao Chitai fell into deep thought, unsure if it was right to let his daughter go.
All these thoughts were more about his self-blame.
If only he were useful, things wouldn't become , all blamed on himself for being useless...

Lin Chen returned to his room, isolated the surrounding aura, and summoned the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, letting Master Qingxu be the protector while he entered the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to cultivate.
Considering the time, today he could transfer to the outsider world again, Lin Chen wasted no time.
After entering the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen instructed the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to teleport him to the outsider world for tempering.
However, after entering the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen didn't want to expose the secrets of the outsider world, directly grabbed the Little Profound Turtle, threw it out from the Second Layer Space, to be teleported to the First Layer.
At that moment, the Little Profound Turtle was in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, using the power of the ten Star Maps in the sky to strengthen its bloodline and body.
But as it absorbed the starlight, it was suddenly grabbed by Lin Chen and thrown out of the Second Layer Space, making the entire turtle furious.
"Lin Chen, how dare you throw this princess out, I'll fight you to the end."
The Little Profound Turtle angrily shouted, but it had already been teleported to the First Layer Space, and Lin Chen couldn't hear these words, or its identity would be exposed.
Before Lin Chen came to the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, it had secretly sneaked into the Second Layer Space to cultivate, last time Lin Chen allowed it, the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron directly let it pass through.
After cultivating in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for a period, the Little Profound Turtle tasted the benefits and couldn't stop, wishing to stay here every day.
Though the environment was barren, with nothing here, the starlight from the ten Star Maps in the sky provided tremendous benefits.
After throwing the Little Profound Turtle out of the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen immediately entered the outsider world to temper his body.
Arriving in the outsider world, Lin Chen was instantly pressed to the ground by the powerful oppression.
Having been here numerous times, Lin Chen never managed to adapt to the oppression here.
However, this time Lin Chen was slightly stronger than before, enduring for forty breaths before the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron teleported him back.
Subsequently, Lin Chen quietly lay in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, silently waiting for his body to rebuild and recover.
As time passed, three days elapsed in the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen's body was fully recovered, he gripped his fist to feel and found his body stronger than before.
Then, Lin Chen planned to meditate and cultivate for a period.
However, when he looked up at the sky, he suddenly discovered that the eleventh Star Map which Lin Chen had partially lit with Low-grade Spirit Crystal was much dimmer.
Lin Chen was shocked, secretly wondering if lighting it for too long without fully illuminating it would cause regression?
But thinking again, it couldn't be right, this didn't happen with the previous Star Maps when lit...
