Chapter 412: Life Recovery Medicine
The 300-year-old black pearl naturally could not have been salvaged from the water by luck.
It was one of the items in Captain Sasha’s collection.
As for this shallow sea, even if there was a black pearl, it would only be 30 to 50 years old.
The reason why he deliberately did this was partly to find a reason for him to join Jian Mo in the future.
On the other hand, he wanted Jian Mo to offer him something
Trust was not something that came out of nowhere.
Just like falling in love, unilateral sacrifices were useless.
Only when both sides offered benefits would their relationship gradually deepen.
As for this 300-year-old black pearl, it actually only brought him a negligible buff. He could not sense it at all.
After praising the other party, Jiang Li began to pretend to heal his injuries.
He recuperated for the entire night. He did not waste any time and was cultivating a new power that he had grasped.
A faint layer of light began to emit from Jiang Li’s body. It did not look conspicuous, but in the area enveloped by the light, there were some miraculous changes.
On the island on the summer night, a group of insects were attracted by the smell of blood on everyone’s wounds and continuously danced around them.
The seven survivors were disturbed.
Only Jiang Li seemed to be unaware.
He had many statuses on him, so the mosquitoes naturally could not smell him.
However, in order to cultivate, he deliberately placed a simple bottle of medicine beside him that could attract mosquitoes.
The insects were attracted by the medicine and surrounded him, but every time they approached the halo around Jiang Li, they would strangely turn back from the opposite direction and repeatedly be unable to approach.
This layer of light came from the inverted domain of the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard. It was a powerful divine art that was born from imitating the mystical rules of the Back Yin Mountain and based on the Nine Nether Dao Scripture.
Relying on this divine art, the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard could even escape with his life against an Earth Immortal. It was even more successful when fighting against people of the same level.
Logically speaking, divine arts were based on the rules of heaven and earth.
Typically, only after reaching the Soul Formation realm and breaking out of the cage that was the human body with the Essence Soul could one see the tip of the iceberg of the mysteries of the world, barely reaching the lowest standard of learning and comprehending divine arts.
However, Jiang Li was different. He cultivated the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, and his soul was far stronger than a Nascent Soul cultivator in all aspects. Apart from not producing a qualitative change in his Essence Soul, he was already infinitely close to the Soul Formation realm.
Most importantly, he had medium-grade Merit Blessing. The barrier of the mysteries of heaven and earth was far more fragile to him.
This gave him the basic conditions to comprehend the technique. Coupled with the fact that the core of the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard was attached to him, he was taught step by step.
He could also directly read all the memories of the clone and imitate it bit by bit.
Under such generous conditions, it had not been long since Jiang Li’s cultivation of this inverted domain had begun to take effect. This divine art was the main reason why Jiang Li was unwilling to kill the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard and wanted to use a precious parallel mind to transform it into a clone.
However, if he did not rely on the power of the Nine Nether Wood in the graveyard, the reversal power that Jiang Li displayed on his own was only a thin layer, and it was far from being a domain.
After a night of cultivation, Jiang Li opened his eyes under the expectant gazes of the other seven people.
He spat out a mouthful of turbid air that was like a tornado or a violent wind, blowing the waves in front of him back by 300 feet, revealing a large amount of muddy seabed that could not recover for a long time.
Such might shocked these few ignorant mortals to the extreme. To have such an effect in one breath, what level had this “Sir Li Jiang” reached before he was injured?
“Sir Li Jiang, have your injuries recovered?” Jian Mo could not wait to ask.
Jiang Li smiled and gave them a reassuring look. “I’ve already recovered a little and can use 50% of my strength. This is all thanks to Miss Jian Mo’s black pearl.”
“There’s no time to lose. Tell me the location of your country. We’ll go back and treat Miss Jian Mo’s mother now.”
“Sir Li Jiang, won’t this be too forceful?”
The seven of them were still slightly worried. Jiang Li was still in that heavily injured state last night. If he was injured again, there would be no second black pearl to treat his injuries.
“It’s fine. I’ll just be flying on my artifact. It’s fine.”
As he spoke, Jiang Li took out a small boat the size of a peach core from the coffin.
After infusing spiritual qi into it, the small ship quickly enlarged and turned into an exquisite airship.
On it were exquisitely carved figures. On a closer look, they were hundreds of humanoid Wood Demons with wooden patterns on their surfaces working on the ship.
There was clearly no living person, but it looked very lively. This was a flying ship made of the peach core of the Mu family’s ancestor, the Immortal Peach. It could be large or small and could fly or cross seas.
The quality was not bad, but the speed of an ordinary flying ship was a little useless to Jiang Li, so he had never had the chance to use it. This time, he wanted to bring a few mortals with him.
After the few of them were shocked by Jiang Li’s ‘divine methods’ again, they boarded the ship.
The Peach Core flying ship left the ground and headed towards Jian Mo’s foster father’s kingdom.
As long as the flying ships of the cultivation world maintained a certain height, they could largely prevent the attacks of the sea beasts. However, once they encountered a storm on the sea, they were still blind. Without an outstanding navigator on the ship, it was very easy to encounter a dangerous situation.
However, water could not flood the Dragon King’s Temple.
Jiang Li was a pure-blooded dragon after all. The storm on the sea could not affect him at
all.
Even if the flying ship he rode was not immune to storms like his main body, he could not rely on his own strength to forcefully stop and stir up a destructive storm that was comparable to the might of nature.
However, it was very simple to predict when a storm would appear.
They flew along a nearly straight path, avoiding a few sea storms along the way.
In less than a day, they crossed the distance that these mortals had sailed for more than half a year and returned to the coastal kingdom.
“Mother, Mother, I’m back!”
The flying ship landed in the not-so luxurious palace.
Jian Mo could not wait to rush into a room in the Cold Palace. However, what she saw inside was not her mother, but a pair of guards and palace maids who were secretly having fun.
“Bastard, who let you in!”
The guard panicked at first, but after he noticed that it was only Princess Jian Mo whose status was inferior to the servants, he started to curse.
“So it’s Princess Jian Mo. Since you’re here, why don’t you join us!”
Not only was he disrespectful, he even stepped forward boldly. Clearly, he wanted to taste this princess.
It was not until a stream of light flashed past that the dishonest arm immediately fell to the ground.
“Where’s Consort Jian?”
Ignoring the guard’s rolling on the ground and wailing, Jian Mo asked the disheveled palace maid coldly. “After you left, there was a plague in the city. Consort Jian was infected and was dragged to the living dead room seven days ago…”
The palace maid’s stammering words made Princess Jian Mo’s expression change drastically.
“What! How dare you!”
Jian Mo’s tears instantly flowed.
As the name suggested, the living dead room was the place where a person waited to die.
The medical resources in this kingdom were very scarce. Even in the palace, those servants were not qualified to receive treatment.
Moreover, it was a dangerous plague. If the medical officials wanted to guarantee the safety of the royal family, it was natural.
Once these servants and people from the Cold Palace fell ill, they would be swept up by the straw mat and dragged to the room, leaving only three steamed buns and a jar of water.
Surviving was good fortune, while death was common.
In such a harsh environment, fewer than one-in-ten people could come out.
In any case, Jian Mo had already gone to the sea, and the Dragon Transformation Island would no longer care about their lives. Consort Jian had also died from the plague, so they were not deliberately making things difficult for her.
They immediately rushed towards the living room and kicked open the loose door. A putrid smell that was even stronger than that of a village’s latrine surged out.
In this living room, there were no less than 200 straw mats piled up. Some of the patients were still struggling at death’s door, and most of them were already silent. The corpses continuously emitted a disgusting smell.
After all, this was a house filled with epidemic patients. No one dared to work here.
It seemed that no one had come to this living dead room to move the corpses for a few days.
The mortal world was filled with disasters. In such a short period of time, the ghost faced crabs and the plague had caused Jiang Li to suspect that he had done something behind the scenes.
However, to be honest, he had not done anything bad since he met Jian Mo.
Moreover, with the Merit Blessing, he should be a lucky star. How could he be unlucky wherever he went?
“Mother! Wake up! Mother! Why didn’t you wait for me to come back!”
In the grass mats on the ground, Jian Mo finally found her mother.
Unfortunately, her aura was gone, and her soul had left her body. She was already dead. Jiang Li also went forward to take a look. The corpse had yet to completely cool down, and it should not have been long since she died.
Fate truly toyed with humans. They were really only a few hours late.
Jiang Li thought for a moment before he circulated a strand of Nine Nether spiritual qi and surged it into his eyes. Immediately, he saw over a hundred wandering souls in this room.
These souls were wrapped in wisps of black qi, indicating that they were souls that had died of illness. If they did not dissipate after seven days and were nourished by the Yin qi, they would become plague ghosts that could spread the disease.

With a glance, he quickly found Jian Mo’s mother.
She was indeed dead, but she had just died and was not truly gone yet. “Miss Jian Mo, your mother can still be saved.” Jiang Li said hesitantly.
“Really?! Sir Li Jiang, can you really save my mother?”
“If you can save my mother, I’ll do anything!” When Jian Mo, who was sobbing in pain, heard this, she placed all her hopes on “Sir Li Jiang”.
Jiang Li waved his hand to calm her down.
He took out a black talisman from his bosom and absorbed the soul of the other party’s mother into the talisman paper before returning it to her corpse.
Coupled with the forced activation of the heart meridians by the Nine Nether spiritual qi, the chest of the corpse that had been dead for more than four hours rose and fell again.
It was very easy for him to do this. “Is… is my mother alive?” “I am willing to do anything for Sir Li Jiang…” Jian Mo immediately kowtowed again, but Jiang Li reached out and stopped her.
“I don’t deserve this. I only sent Consort Jian’s soul back into her body.”
“However, Consort Jian is already dead after all. Her lifespan has run out. I can’t really revive her.”
“In fact, I can only maintain this state for seven days. A treasure that can resurrect people is far beyond even the black pearl from before. Typically, only those large cultivation sects will have it.”
“It’s too difficult to find such a treasure in seven days.”
Jiang Li expressed that he was helpless.
However, his words reminded Jian Mo.
Now, there was only one thing on her mind. If she found a large faction to help in seven days, she could save her mother. Jian Mo originally did not want to accept her background. That background had made her and her mother suffer for their entire lives.
However, for her mother’s sake, she had to fight for it no matter what.
“Sir Li Jiang, if we obtain such a treasure in seven days, can my mother still be saved?” Jian Mo wanted to confirm this fact again.
“That’s right. I can use the talisman paper to stabilize Consort Jian’s soul. As long as I find the medicine to extend her lifespan, I can revive her.”
“However, lifespan extension medicines are extremely precious and hard to find in the world.”
“In seven days, even if the body doesn’t decay, the soul will transform into a ghost.”
“Ghosts are formed from humans, but they are no longer humans. At that time, we will really be helpless.”
Jiang Li did not lie to her. In a sense, people who died within seven days were not really dead.
There was still a chance of saving them after paying a certain price. For example, an Immortal Peach Spiritual Fruit or a Nine Nether Earth Fruit.
“Sir Li Jiang, can I ask you for a favor?”
Jian Mo knelt down again. This time, no matter how Jiang Li helped her up, she was unwilling to get up.
“Sir, please bring Jian Mo to the Dragon Transformation Island to seek help!”
“My full name is actually Guhei Jian Mo. I’m the illegitimate daughter of the Dragon Transformation Island’s Master, Guhei Tianchou.”
“If I can return to the Dragon Transformation Island and save my mother, I am willing to serve you as a servant for the rest of my life!”
Jian Mo told them about her background. The few people beside her revealed shocked expressions. However, they immediately understood why this princess and that concubine would suffer such treatment.
Thus, everything made sense.
“You’re Guhei Tianchou’s daughter!?”
“Forget it. It seems that everything was predestined when you saved me from the sea, Miss Jian Mo.”
“I’ll agree to help you.”
Guhei Jian Mo finally saw her last hope. The flying ship set off again, targeting the Dragon Transformation Island.
On the other side, Sasha, who had already returned to Dragon Transformation Island, dragged a middle-aged pirate who looked like a dead dog out of a dilapidated and sinking island.
“From today onwards, I, Sasha, am the captain of the second fleet!”
Sasha glanced coldly at the large number of surrounding pirates. Those spineless fellows immediately lowered their heads.
Some people went forward in a flattering manner and eagerly expressed their loyalty. After eating a Nine Nether Earth Fruit and losing her freedom, what she gained was equivalent to the cultivation of an entire Soul Formation cultivator.
After her strength increased, she immediately challenged the captain of the original second fleet and replaced him.
The second fleet controlled the guards and patrolling groups of many key locations in the Dragon Transformation Island.
In a few days, it would come in handy!
