Chapter 1392
Thea put the Book of Malice into the box and covered it. Then, with the box in hand, she walked over to the riverside and
glanced at the calm surface of the water. Then, she leaped.
She dove underwater to search for a way out.
Soon, she found the vortex in the water. Catalyzing True Energy and activating the power of the Spirit Turtle, she swam upward
and broke through the vortex with ease. In the end, she left the cavern.
Though she wanted to swim ashore, she was reminded of her objective-to search for the Sanguine Bloom. She did not expect to
be swept away by the vortex and brought to the cavern where she found the Book of Malice.
After hesitating for a brief moment, she continued swimming downward.
Without the True Frost Energy getting in her way, she reached the deepest part of the Frost Swamp easily. There were many
plants there. However, no matter what she tried, she could not find the Sanguine Bloom.
She was dismayed.
Without the flower, her injuries would take forever to heal.
Just as she was about to leave, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the Sanguine Bloom stuck between the crevices of a
rock. Delighted, she hurriedly swam toward the flower and uprooted the plant. Then, with the Sanguine Bloom in hand, she made
her way back.
At the Frosty Swamp...
A thin mist descended upon the area.
There had been no signs of Thea for the past few days. The Medical Saint figured that Thea must have died at the bottom of the
swamp. Hence, he did not linger for long and swiftly left.
Ripples appeared from the calm surface of the water.
A woman emerged from the Frosty Swamp. Then, as quick as lightning, she was ashore. Catalyzing True Energy, she dried her
wet clothes and scanned her surroundings. The Medical Saint was nowhere to be seen. She did not linger for long and hurriedly
left too.
She was not in a hurry to meet the Medical Saint. After all, her mask was gone, and she did not want others to discern her
appearance.
After leaving Medical Valley for the city, she ordered the disciples of the Celestial Sect to send her a new mask. After wearing the
mask, she headed to Medical Valley to meet the Medical Saint with the Sanguine Bloom she obtained.
In a wooden house in Medical Valley...
The elderly Medical Saint stared at the Sanguine Bloom in disbelief. He had been waiting by the Frosty Swamp for days, and the
Sect Leader of the Celestial Sect was nowhere to be seen. How did she come back the moment he left?
Thea, who was now wearing her mask, said, “I’ve brought you the Sanguine Bloom. How long do you need to treat my injuries?”
After going to the city, she learned that five days had passed while she was in the Frosty Swamp. The International Martial Arts
Conference was just around the corner. She had to heal her injuries as soon as possible.
The Medical Saint recollected himself, saying, “A week... I can definitely heal your internal injuries within a week.”
“I’m running out of time.” Thea’s face darkened, and she said, “Heal me in three days.”
“Three days?” Furrowing his eyebrows, the Medical Saint contemplated briefly before saying, “I know you need to make your
way over to Durandal as soon as possible to participate in the International Martial Arts Conference. How about this? I’ll use the
Sanguine Bloom to refine a healing elixir for you, which will only take three days. You can consume it on your way to Durandal.”
“Sure.”
Thea nodded.
“We’re running out of time. I’ll prepare the ingredients at once. Please remain in Medical Valley for a few more days.”
The Medical Saint left with the Sanguine Bloom in hand and swiftly prepared the ingredients. Although the Sanguine Bloom was
the main ingredient, he required other expensive herbs to refine an effective healing elixir. Everything he needed could be found
in Medical Valley.
Meanwhile, Thea remained in the valley. She did not sit around idly. Instead, she scrutinized the Book of Malice and learned the
methods of Exalter. She read the cultivation method of Murderous Energy to learn how to utilize it to its greatest extent.
