Feng Ruqing gritted her teeth and stared at the spirit herb. She did not stop moving and the spiritual qi was continuously being transferred into the spirit herb.
The spirit herb sprouted and swayed with the soft breeze.
Feng Ruqing"s vision blurred. It might be because of her sweat or that she was too exhausted. It seemed that the whole world was starting to sway.
"No! I can"t faint!" Feng Ruqing pinched her arm harshly so that she could stay awake again.
For Nalan Yan.
For the reunion of her family.
Even if she needed to use all her spiritual qi, she had to endure it!
Time pa.s.sed by.
The spirit herb had grown and a flower bud was seen.
But, Feng Ruqing"s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. There was blood oozing from her mouth because she was biting her lip for too long. There was blood in her mouth as well.
Boom!
Eventually, Feng Ruqing still did not make it.
For a warrior, one was like a useless person when the spiritual qi was depleted even if that warrior was powerful.
She could only continue what she had started when she had recovered her spiritual qi.
But, there was only one thought in her head when she fainted.
She did not manage to save Nalan Yan!
A woman whom Feng Tianyu had missed so much and whom he had endured much pain for.
She was her only mother in this lifetime.
They were connected by blood ties and she was led by it when she went to the Tang family.
So…
Nalan Yan recognized her at first sight.
Feng Ruqing fell forward and there were tears running down her cheeks. The tears were mixed with her sweat. All of it went into the dirt.
"Mother!"
Fu Chen"s anxious voice appeared in her mind and it made her recover some of her senses.
Feng Ruqing tried her best to get up from the ground. But, there was no strength left in her. She went limp on the ground as she lost all her energy.
"I can"t…"
"I can"t faint.
"Nalan Yan is still waiting for me to save her!
"If I give up, then who else could save Nalan Yan?"
Feng Ruqing slapped her hand hard onto the ground and transferred the rest of her spiritual qi into the spirit herb.
The last drop of spiritual qi was like holy water for the bud of the flower which was waiting to bloom. At last, it bloomed into a beautiful red flower.
Feng Ruqing fell forward with a thud onto the ground.
The first of the spirit herbs were cultivated successfully.
She just did not know whether Tang Zi could find the rest of the Grade-5 spirit herbs.
Boom!
Just as Feng Ruqing almost lost her consciousness, she saw a long black sword rus.h.i.+ng toward her, spearing her chest.
The great pain shook her body and she regained consciousness.
That sword was previously food for Fu Chen but Feng Ruqing had taken it after blackmailing him. But, that sword had no use.
So, Feng Ruqing had thrown it into the medium. "Why did the black sword suddenly attack me?"
Feng Ruqing opened her eyes and she touched her chest subconsciously. But, she found that there was nothing on her chest, not even a wound.
But, she did not see it wrongly.
"That black sword indeed pierced me!
"That feeling of pain was so clear and it was definitely not my imagination!"
Feng Ruqing was anxious. She quickly used her spiritual sense to look into every corner of her body. Suddenly, she realized that there was a black sword at her dantian.
That was right. That black sword was as big as a thumb and it was quietly resting on her dantian.
