1702 Thoughts

Zhou Linfan looked at Alex and sighed when he saw his distressed face.

"Don't be so sad," the man said. "I know there are some pills that can even fix your Dantian. You're young. You can get healed and restart your cultivation journey."

Alex looked at the man and nodded. He could get back on his journey, but how quickly could he do that?

"Can you help me get back to the Southern Continent?" Alex asked. "The Second Prince and my cousin should be there too, so you can come along."

"I can't," the old man said. "It is probably because of you and what you guys did, but recently there has been an influx of soldiers searching through the ocean. They keep flying around. We can't leave."

"Soldiers? From the Eastern Continent?" Alex asked worriedly. "They haven't found us?"

"They can't, don't worry," the man replied. "I have a formation constantly running that keeps me from being found. As long as they don't look very carefully, they won't find us."

Alex didn't exactly feel safe, but the man had survived here for the last half a century, so maybe he could trust him.

The old man walked away to place his old pot back on the fire before walking back to Alex. "You should rest now. Once you're up, I'll check to see if I can do something about your wounds again. I'm sorry, but I'm not much of a healer, so I can't really tend to your wounds outside of what I've already done."

"No worries, I am one," Alex said. "Now that I'm up, I can help myself, so long as I have stuff to use."The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

"Oh, okay," the man said and nodded. "Still, rest for now. I'll search for what I can later on. This island isn't very large, so I might have to go to another one."

Alex nodded and laid back down on the leather that was underneath him. The old man walked outside, leaving Alex alone with his thoughts again.

So he had managed to teleport away and Pearl had saved him in the end. Then this man had helped hide him from the others.

That was some good news at least. So long as he wasn't dead or captured, that was tremendous news. Still, he was now crippled and wounded, and he didn't know what to do.

He had spent less than half a year with his master, while with Yao Ning, he had spent nearly 30 years. Their relationship might not have been as close as he had with his master, but it was still a strong one.

And for destroying that, he hated the Dragon Emperor.

Rage slumbered inside of Alex right then, like embers in the hearth, but that was only because he knew that he could not do anything about the Dragon Emperor right at that time. It would burn bright when the time was right.

Alex closed his eyes as the evening brought in darkness and let himself grieve for the death of the woman who did what she could to save him. He cried and as such let himself fall asleep.

The next morning, Alex woke to some freshly cooked stew. The old man gave him all of it once it was ready, urging him to eat it all.

"Since you told me about your body cultivation, I assumed there wouldn't be any trouble with you eating solid meals," the man said. "I caught some True Silver pikes and added some herbs to it. The fish meat aids somewhat with healing."

Alex nodded as he heard that. "Thank you," he said and started eating. Once again, the dish made by this old man was so incredible that Alex regretted the old man not having proper dishes to cook these meals in.

He took some time to finish before feeling incredibly energized.

"I'll cultivate for the day and make your next meal later tonight, is that alright?" the old man said.

"That's fine," Alex said and watched the old man go deeper inside the cave. "You said the entire island is hidden, right?"

The old man paused and turned around. "Yes, why?" he asked.

"I'm gonna go around the island and look for herbs," Alex said. "Hopefully, I can find ones that will help me heal quickly so I can do what I must."

The old man's eyes narrowed. "And what is it that you must do?" he asked.

Alex gave a small smile. "Let me start with getting healed first," he said. "We can see to the rest later."

Then, he walked out of the cave and went to the forest to search for everything he would need.
