Chapter 244 The Mystery of the Soul Fragments
Han Xuanxuan noticed Wei Yu's unusual behavior and quickly came over, handing him a handkerchief and asking with concern, "Brother Wei Yu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wei Yu shook his head, took the handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said calmly, "I'm fine, I'm just sensing something."
Han Xuanxuan blinked and asked curiously, "Sensing what?"
Wei Yu did not hide anything and said softly, "I am sensing the fragments of my soul. My soul was shattered before, and the fragments were scattered in various places. Brother Xuanqing has one of them."
"I want to see if there are any other fragments of souls in the Lingxu Sect."
Han Xuanxuan suddenly understood and nodded: "I see. Then, Brother Wei Yu, did you sense it?"
Wei Yu shook his head, a hint of doubt on his face: "No, I've scanned the entire Lingxu Sect, and apart from the soul fragment on Brother Xuanqing's body, I haven't sensed any other soul fragment fluctuations."
"That's strange."
Han Xuanxuan frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Senior Brother Xuanqing is a transmigrator, he has fragments of your soul in him, why don't the rest of us have them?"
Wei Yu remained silent, his doubts growing ever deeper.
Yes, why?
Xuan Qing is a transmigrator. The fact that he has fragments of his own soul means that these fragments are able to reach this world.
Why is it that only Xuanqing has it, while the other disciples do not have any trace of soul fragments?
Could it be because Xuanqing has a special constitution?
Or was this fragment of soul deliberately placed on Xuan Qing?
Furthermore, back then, his soul fragments were scattered throughout the myriad worlds. Why is it that only one piece ended up in Xuanqing of the Lingxu Sect?
Is there some hidden secret behind this?
A series of questions surfaced in Wei Yu's mind, causing him to fall into deep thought.
He could sense that this matter was definitely not that simple.
The soul fragments on Xuan Qing's body may not be as simple as just falling on him by chance.
Just then, Xuan Qing appeared at the entrance of Qingxuan Pavilion.
He strode in, holding a white porcelain bottle in his hand, a smile on his face: "Brother Wei Yu, Xuanxuan, I'm back. I've retrieved the elixir."
As he spoke, he walked up to Wei Yu and handed him the porcelain bottle: "Inside are the sect's healing pills, the 'Qingling Pills.' There are three in total. The effects are quite good; they can quickly repair your injuries and replenish your spiritual energy."
Wei Yu took the porcelain bottle, nodded, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Brother Xuanqing. I'm sorry to trouble you again."
"Don't be so polite with me." Xuan Qing waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are my friends, it's only right that I help you."
He turned to Han Xuanxuan and handed her another pill: "Xuanxuan, here you go. Your injuries aren't too serious. Take a Qingling Pill and you'll recover quickly."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanqing!" Han Xuanxuan said happily as she took the pill, then immediately put it in her mouth and began to chew.
The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and a rich spiritual energy spread throughout her body. Han Xuanxuan felt refreshed all over, and her fatigue and injuries were greatly reduced.
Wei Yu also opened the porcelain bottle, took out a Qingling Pill, and put it in his mouth.
The effects of the Qingling Pill were indeed powerful. The spiritual energy slid down his throat into his body and instantly spread throughout his entire body, repairing his damaged meridians and body.
His wounds were healing at a visible speed, and his mental fatigue had also lessened considerably.
Xuan Qing also took a Qingling Pill and began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing to repair the injury on his arm.
The courtyard suddenly fell silent, with only the steady breathing of the three people and the rustling of the wind through the bamboo forest remaining.
Wei Yu closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, but the questions in his mind still lingered.
He pondered the question repeatedly, but still couldn't come up with an answer.
Why is it that only Xuanqing has fragments of his soul?
Why do the other disciples of the Lingxu Sect not exhibit any fluctuations of soul fragments?
What is the connection between Xuanqing and his soul fragments?
Also, why was the return journey unusually smooth?
Will those hunters really not come looking for trouble again?
One question after another, like wisps of fog, shrouded Wei Yu's mind, making it impossible for him to find peace.
He knew that these questions might only be answered after he retrieved more fragments of his soul and repaired his complete divine soul.
But deep down, he had a vague premonition.
This matter may have some unknown connection with the Lingxu Sect.
Moreover, the soul fragment on Xuan Qing's body may not be just an ordinary soul fragment.
Behind it may lie a huge secret, a secret concerning whether he can return to his home planet, a secret concerning the fate of wanderers from all worlds.
About an hour later, all three of them slowly opened their eyes.
After taking the Qingling Pill, their injuries recovered considerably.
The wound on Xuanqing's arm has stopped bleeding, and the swelling has subsided considerably. Although she still cannot engage in strenuous exercise, she is no longer in serious condition.
Han Xuanxuan's complexion became much rosier, her eyes became more lively, and the fatigue in her body completely disappeared.
Wei Yu's condition has improved significantly. His face is no longer pale, his breathing has become steady and deep, and the power of homecoming within his body is circulating more smoothly.
"I feel so much better!" Han Xuanxuan stretched, a bright smile spreading across her face. "This Qingling Pill is amazing! In just one hour, I feel completely recovered!"
Xuan Qing smiled and said, "Of course. Qingling Pill is a mid-grade healing pill from our Lingxu Sect, so its effects are naturally powerful."
He turned to Wei Yu and asked with concern, "Brother Wei Yu, how are you? Is your injury healing well?"
Wei Yu nodded, a smile appearing on his face: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Xuanqing. I'm recovering very well. The effects of the Qingling Pill far exceeded my expectations."
"That's good." Xuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief. "You've just recovered and need to rest well. I've already instructed the disciples not to disturb us."
"For the next few days, you should rest and recuperate at Qingxuan Pavilion. Once you have fully recovered, I will take you to meet the sect's masters and introduce you to them."
"Alright, I'll do as Brother Xuanqing says." Wei Yu nodded, offering no objections.
Han Xuanxuan nodded, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanqing!"
Xuan Qing smiled, turned around and said, "You guys rest first. I'll go prepare some food for you. You must be hungry after all this commotion."
"Thank you for your trouble, Brother Xuanqing," Wei Yu said.
Xuan Qing nodded and turned to leave the courtyard.
After Xuan Qing left, Han Xuanxuan walked to Wei Yu's side and asked softly, "Brother Wei Yu, are you still thinking about the soul fragments?"
Wei Yu nodded, a serious look on his face: "Hmm, I still can't understand why only Brother Xuanqing has fragments of my soul, while the other transmigrated disciples, including you, don't."
"Moreover, I always felt that this matter was not that simple."
Han Xuanxuan frowned slightly and said, "Could it be because Senior Brother Xuanqing's physique is special that he can attract your soul fragments?"
Wei Yu shook his head: "It's hard to say. Xuan Qing's physique is indeed quite special. It's a rare spiritual root physique, and his cultivation speed is extremely fast."
"But my soul fragments are scattered throughout the myriad worlds, and in theory, they should have fallen into the possession of all transmigrators."
"It's impossible that only Xuan Qing could attract my soul fragments."
Han Xuanxuan thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be that a fragment of your soul just happened to end up with Senior Brother Xuanqing, while the other fragments didn't end up in the Lingxu Sect?"
Wei Yu shook his head again: "That's unlikely. I can sense that the soul fragments on Xuan Qing's body have been with him for some time now."
"Moreover, when my soul fragments were scattered, the area covered was extremely wide. There must be other soul fragments in the area where the Lingxu Sect is located."
"But why haven't I sensed any other soul fragment fluctuations throughout the entire Lingxu Sect?"
This problem stumped not only Wei Yu, but also Han Xuanxuan.
Han Xuanxuan frowned, racking her brains, but still couldn't come up with an answer.
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore." Han Xuanxuan shook her head and said to Wei Yu, "Brother Wei Yu, you've just recovered, don't think so much, get some rest."
Wei Yu nodded, understanding that there was no point in thinking about it any further.
Instead of racking your brains here, you should rest well and investigate this matter slowly after your injuries have fully healed.
Moreover, Xuanqing might actually know something.
After all, with the soul fragments on him, he might be able to sense something unusual.
Thinking of this, Wei Yu's doubts lessened somewhat.
He leaned back on the stone chair, closed his eyes, and began to rest, trying to stop thinking about those troubling things.
Han Xuanxuan sat on a stone bench beside him, quietly keeping him company. Every now and then, she would look up at the surrounding bamboo forest, her face full of contentment.
About half an hour later, Xuan Qing returned, carrying a tray with several exquisite dishes and a pot of spiritual tea on it.
"Brother Wei Yu, Xuanxuan, come and eat! These are all spiritual foods from the sect. They are not only delicious, but they can also replenish your spiritual energy, which will be beneficial for your recovery."
Xuanqing placed the tray on the stone table and said with a smile.
Han Xuanxuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately leaned over, looking at the dishes on the stone table with a delighted smile: "Wow, it smells so good! It looks delicious!"
The dishes on the stone table were brightly colored and fragrant, including stir-fried bamboo shoots, stewed chicken soup, and several plates of exquisite spiritual fruits. They were all made with spiritual materials unique to the Kunlun Sect, and were not only delicious but also contained rich spiritual energy.
Wei Yu also stood up, walked to the stone table, and sat down.
After all that travel, he was indeed hungry.
"Thank you very much, Brother Xuanqing, for your trouble," Wei Yu said softly.
"Don't be so polite with me, eat up, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Xuan Qing waved his hand, picked up his chopsticks, and handed them to Wei Yu and Han Xuanxuan.
The three picked up their chopsticks and began to savor the spiritual food on the table.
The spiritual food was incredibly delicious upon entering the mouth, and the rich spiritual energy instantly spread throughout the mouth, sliding down the throat and into the body, making one feel completely comfortable.
Han Xuanxuan ate with great relish, praising as she ate, "Delicious, delicious! Senior Brother Xuanqing, this spirit chicken soup is so good! It's better than any chicken soup I've ever had before!"
Xuan Qing smiled and said, "Drink more if you like. This spirit chicken soup is made with spirit chickens from the back mountain of the sect. It has been stewed for three whole hours. It is not only delicious, but also replenishes your qi and blood, which is very good for your health."
Han Xuanxuan nodded vigorously, picked up the spoon, and took another big gulp of the spirit chicken soup, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
Wei Yu also enjoyed the meal immensely. These spiritual foods were not only delicious, but also contained very pure spiritual energy, which was indeed of great help in his recovery.
While eating, he observed Xuan Qing discreetly, secretly thinking that he would ask Xuan Qing about the soul fragments after finishing his meal.
He wanted to know where the fragments of Xuan Qing's soul came from.
He wanted to know if Xuanqing was aware of the existence of fragments of his soul within him.
The three of them ate and chatted, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Xuanqing told them about the rules and interesting stories of the Kunlun Sect, and Han Xuanxuan would occasionally chime in with a few words, making it very lively.
Wei Yu listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a word or two, and his smile grew wider and wider.
Before they knew it, the three of them had eaten most of the dishes on the table.
Han Xuanxuan patted her tummy, a satisfied smile on her face: "I'm so full, I can't eat anymore."
Xuan Qing smiled and said, "It's good that you're full. Eating too much of these spiritual foods isn't good either. Just the right amount is fine."
Wei Yu also put down his chopsticks, a look of satisfaction on his face: "Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Xuanqing. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal."
"It was nothing," Xuan Qing waved his hand and said, "You all get some rest, I'll go tidy up."
"Brother Xuanqing, wait a moment."
Just as Xuanqing was about to get up, Wei Yu suddenly called out to him.
Xuan Qing stopped and turned to look at Wei Yu, asking in confusion, "Brother Wei Yu, what's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Wei Yu took a deep breath, raised his head, looked directly at Xuan Qing, and said in a serious tone, "Brother Xuan Qing, there is something I would like to ask you."
Xuan Qing nodded, sat back down on the stone bench, and said, "Brother Wei Yu, please speak. I will tell you everything I know without reservation."
Han Xuanxuan also looked over curiously, her eyes full of anticipation. She knew that Wei Yu was going to ask about the soul fragments.
Wei Yu looked at Xuan Qing and slowly spoke, his tone serious: "Brother Xuan Qing, you possess a fragment of my soul. When did you discover this?"
Upon hearing Wei Yu's words, Xuan Qing showed a hint of surprise. Clearly, he hadn't expected Wei Yu to ask this question.
He paused for a moment, then slowly shook his head, his tone puzzled: "Soul fragments? Those were from when I suddenly received news of your death back then. At first, I thought I had a system."
