The Saintess glanced at Little Shrubby below and his tense posture, making her let out a sigh.

"He sure loves his master.

" The Saintess muttered to herself.

After glancing at him for a few more seconds and seeing that he was still the same, she decided to call out.

"Its fine now, Little Shrubby.

" The Saintess spoke.

"You will heal him?

" little Shrubby asked, seeing the Saintess.

His posture eased up and he felt a lot more comfortable with the Saintess being there.

"Yes.

" The Saintess replied.

"While he might not wake up right away, it'll be faster than before.

" She herself didn't know how long it would take, as the method she was going to use was never done before.

'This method wasn't made for the Well of Slumber, but for vitality it should still work.' The Saintess thought to herself. 'Hopefully my refinement skills are still as good as before.' She hoped.

After having checked Lin Mu's severe condition, she knew that he had more than just a lack of vitality. There was the internal damage, but more than that there was also mental and a faint amount of soul damage.

The latter two were something that could not be healed easily, and even she, as a Celestial, couldn't fix them.

'If I could take him back to the Celestial Realm, it would be fixed in a jiffy, but that person just had to do that…' The Saintess remembered as her face darkened.

Pushing those thoughts to the back, she decided to get started, as it was the best for Lin Mu.

"Come, be next to me.

" She spoke to Little Shrubby.

~SHUA~

The beast quickly did that and watched as the woman began her work.

She made a waving gesture towards the beast corpses, which all flew towards the lake. ~SPLASH~SPLASH~SPLAHS~SPLASH~

They quickly started dropping into the lake, and increased its water level bit by bit.

Two billion beast corpses were a massive amount, especially considering their size. And these beasts weren't all weak, with several Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beasts present within it too!

It was no surprise that the Dao Wind Empire had done a lot to get them, with Emperor Feng personally going out to hunt the Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beasts just so that they could be gathered in time.

As for the herbs, they were simply taken out of their imperial storage and the treasury.

Many of them were highly valuable and there were some that were so valuable that they could buy an entire city outright. And yet they were now being given freely.

After all the corpses had been submerged into the lake, the Saintess extended a finger. The green nail on her finger grew out before a small drop formed at its sharp tip.

"Melt.

" The Saintess spoke and shook her finger.

The drop was light green in color and emitted no scent, but once it dropped into the lake, a massive power was released.

~HONGLONG~

A single drop of water colored the entire lake the same as it, before a massive surge of energy was felt.

"WHAT!

"

"WHOA!

"

The group watching it were left stunned and some were knocked back from the wave of energy.

"What did she just do?

" they couldn't comprehend it.

They could only watch as the Saintess did her work.

"Churn.

" The Saintess lightly said, causing the water to move.

~WHOOSH~

The entire grand lake started to move, as the water began to spun. The now green water churned the corpses within it, easily turning them into a paste, which then turned into a liquid slurry.

"The corpses… They just melted?!

" Ziran was left bewildered at this.

"No way… is this all acid?

" Daoist Chu didn't even wish to test it.

The water quickly changed color from light green to blood red as all the corpses dissolved into it. ~SHUA~

Intense vitality started to overflow from the lake, as a red mist rose from it.

But before the vitality could go past the shores, the Saintess made a circle with her finger, causing a barrier of clouds to rise up and contain it all.

~HUALA~

Within seconds, a large wall of clouds was now erected, containing the overflowing vitality.

"Refine,

" the Saintess said next, as she pulled all the herbs towards her. The priceless herbs were all thrown into the blood red lake as if they were cabbages, allowing them to be melted into it.

If any alchemist were to see this, they might simply die from the wasteful method. After all, they wouldn't be able to understand the Saintess's methods that were beyond their comprehension. Once all the herbs were mixed not the lake, the water stopped churning and the color darkened a bit more.

Now it was like Rich Crimson Red colored.

"Sink.

" The Saintess finally said, causing the platform that had been holding up Lin Mu to submerge into the bloody waters.

Once he was fully soaked, she set up a barrier around the entire lake, encasing it in a barrier of invisible clouds and winds. If anyone were to even try touching the walls, they would be shredded apart by the winds.

~WHOOSH~

With that done, the Saintess approached the group on the shore and saw their faces that had a mix of expressions.

"It is done.

" The Saintess stated.

"How… how long will it take?

" Crown Prince Feng Shun inquired.

"His body will continue to absorb it all slowly. We'll just have to wait and watch.

" The Saintess replied.

"Besides… I believe you all have some pressing matters to attend to.

" She reminded.

"Of course.

" They replied, knowing that this was just a part of their worries.

"I'll watch over this place so you all can handle the rest.

" The Saintess spoke.

"Honored Celestial, this may be disrespectful of me to ask.

" The Emperor said with some hesitation.

"But you truly cannot do anything?

"

"Even if I am a celestial, I still have to follow the rules. Just by doing what I am right now, I am already pushing the restrictions.

" She explained.
