Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Although Celaine decided to help the woman, she first had to plunder *ahem*-check if the girl had a spatial ring, and if so, she needed to check whether she had any healing pills or elixirs.

However, after thoroughly searching the girl’s body, she didn’t find any spatial rings, pills, or elixirs.

This gave Celaine a bit of a headache because she doesn’t have very many healing pills in her spatial ring. Those pills are for emergency use only! Her body and vitality are strong enough that she can recover from most injuries with just some food and Qi.

She really didn’t want to hand over one of her healing pills to some random chick, but it seems she doesn’t have much of a choice.

But before she does anything, she first needs to ‘fix’ a few things on the girl’s body.

With a slightly sadistic grin on her face, she bent down over the girl’s body.

‘Ah. Finally, someone other than Maria and me can experience Mira’s torturous ways of fixing our bodies whenever we’re injured. Don’t blame me for what I’m about to do, woman. I’m only doing what I was taught. If you want to blame someone, blame Mira!’ Celaine thought to herself before grasping the girl’s dislocated shoulder and shoving it back into place.

“Ugh!” A grunt escaped the unconscious woman’s mouth, but Celaine didn’t stop.

She slowly worked her way down the girl’s body. If there were any broken bones, she pushed them back into place. If one of the bones seemed fractured, she cut open the skin and dug out the fragments. Any dislocated joints got pushed back into place, and she made sure to remember any spots that looked fractured.

After going through years of Mira’s hellish training, her understanding of the human body and how to piece it back together is at a fairly high level for someone at her cultivation and background.

Well, most of her knowledge came from Mira, who has countless years of experience and probably knows the human body more than the majority of people.

Celaine took out one of her healing pills and forced it into the girl’s mouth. Then she placed her hands on the girl’s abdomen and used her Qi to help circulate the pill throughout the girl’s body.

However, the pill wasn’t that effective since it’s meant for those in the Foundation Realm. It also wasn’t made to handle this level of injuries. It’s meant to deal with light to medium injuries, but this woman was clearly suffering from numerous light, medium, and severe injuries all over her body, and who knows what sort of shape her internals are in.

Celaine obviously knew this beforehand, but what else can she do? She can at least try and use the efficacy of the pill to try and deal with some of the more severe wounds.

A few minutes passed by and all the energy within the pill ran out, but the woman didn’t look much better. The hole in her stomach was slightly smaller, but that’s only because Celaine used a lot of the pill’s effects to try and close up the hole to stop some of the bleeding.

Celaine sighed, seeing this, and knew that if she wanted the girl to live, she’d have to sacrifice the rest of her healing pills.

‘Well, I’ve already given her one. What’s a few more?’ Celaine thought to herself before taking out the rest of her healing pills and shoving them down the woman’s throat.

​ Celaine then spent the next half an hour dealing, trying to heal the most severe injuries in the woman’s body while also preventing her from dying of blood loss.

Luckily, it seemed the woman was given an extra lease on life due to her efforts!

After dealing with the most severe injuries, Celaine took off the woman’s clothes and began wrapping her body in bandages. She naturally has an overabundant amount of bandages leftover from Mira’s hell training…

Then she took out some water and forced it down the woman’s throat.

After all that, she took out about 100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and tossed them on and around the woman to hopefully try and improve her recovery rate or at least help her gain consciousness.

Celaine had no idea if this would work, but she’s got a bunch of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, so it’s worth a try.

She knew that once someone reaches the Core Formation Realm, you can basically live off of Qi alone and no longer have to consume food and water in order to survive. That’s not to say that food and water are completely useless in this Realm, but they aren’t needed.

Once Celaine fixed up the woman as much as possible, she placed her in the corner of the cave, then sat down with her saber to meditate.

She used this time to review all of her previous fights in her mind, examine them, find out what she did wrong, and conclude how she could do better.

This mediation session went on for about a week before Celaine finally opened her eyes, stood up, and began practicing with her saber.

During that meditation session, she had a few insights on how she could improve her Saber fundamentals, but it wasn’t nearly enough for her to comprehend Saber Intent.

Celaine wasn’t expecting to learn how to use Saber Intent after just a week of meditation. That’s why she requested Elenei to drop her off in the mountains. She needs live targets to practice on!

When Celaine felt like she had consolidated all her gains through that week-long meditation session, she glanced over to ensure the woman was still alive, then left the cave to fight some beasts.

Whether the woman was still alive or not by the time she came back was up to fate.

***

Two weeks later, Celaine returned back to the cave covered in beast blood after going through numerous life-and-death battles and immediately noticed that although the woman was still alive, she still hadn’t gained consciousness.

Celaine just shrugged her shoulders, walked over to the woman, changed her bandages, and forced some water down her throat, then went back to meditating.

Over the last two weeks, she had made decent progress in her Saber fundamentals and was going to spend some time consolidating those gains before going out again.

One year later, the unconscious woman finally opened her eyes!
