Chapter 1075 - 320: [Punishment] (2)
"So, the nectar of the Lanxin flower is something that can repair hidden injuries in the body, allowing one’s physical form to be rejuvenated and bursting with life once again."
Zhan Li paused, glancing at Chen Yan: "While you were unconscious, I fed you medicine that included some of this nectar to mend the hidden injuries caused by your previous forced exertion.
Consuming this regularly can also raise the upper limit of your body’s strength."
Chen Yan sighed upon hearing this: "I remember Ju Shanfeng punched me at that time..."
Zhan Li rolled his eyes: "...Consider it a gift!"
"Oh dear, it seems like he missed with that punch too."
Next.
"What is this thing then?"
"...This is an Elephant Bone Pill, a crystallization left after burning the corpse of a White Elephant. When crafting a Flying Sword or weapon, incorporating this can enhance the strength and hardness of the weapon."
"I remember Ju Shanfeng also kicked me..."
Zhan Li twitched at the corner of his eye, throwing a box in front of Chen Yan, and said slowly, restraining his anger: "You dodged that kick too!"
Chen Yan smiled, pointing to another box: "What about inside that one?"
Zhan Li, out of patience, said: "First a palm, then fist, and then foot... You’re not going to tell me next that Ju Shanfeng spit on you, are you?"
She waved her hand weakly: "Fine, fine, it’s all yours. All of these things are yours."

A day later, Chen Yan set off with Zhan Li’s party, leaving the grazing team of the White Elephant Tribe.
Of course, Gu Tongbing traveled along too.
Since waking, Chen Yan hadn’t seen Gu Tongbing. It wasn’t until Zhan Li executed the Shepherd Master that Chen Yan inquired and learned from her that Gu Tongbing was in a deep sleep.
The distinguished third young master of the Gu Family, Zhan Li naturally recognized him. One was a young talent from the Ghost Race, the Cave Maiden. The other was the legitimate third son of the main house of the Gu Family. The two had exchanged distant pleasantries at an auction before.
The relationship between the Gu Family and the Ghost Race had always been quite good.
After discovering that Gu Tongbing was severely poisoned, Zhan Li helped detoxify him with medicine, and additionally consumed her own Primordial Qi to expel the poison from Gu Tongbing.
After casting the spell, Gu Tongbing remained in a deep sleep, so Chen Yan didn’t see this Gu family’s third young master upon waking.
When setting out, Gu Tongbing was still not awake, so Zhan Li ordered her subordinates to carry him inside the caravan vehicle.
The carriage was mounted on beasts, and seeing the mounted beasts made Chen Yan sigh involuntarily.
The attendants beside the ancestor of the Ghost Race truly were remarkable indeed!
The White Elephant Race contributed the two largest and strongest elephants!
These two giants stood about seven to eight meters tall, and standing on their backs was like standing on the third floor.
The carriage mounted above was akin to a small house on an elephant’s back.
Inside the carriage was naturally arranged with arrays, making the interior space much larger than it appeared outside, effectively like a separate room.
Gu Tongbing, as a legitimate scion of the Gu Family and a poisoned patient, occupied a carriage on one elephant’s back all by himself. Zhan Li even assigned two of her Ghost Race maids to serve and care for the patient.
The other carriage on the back of the second elephant was occupied by Chen Yan and Zhan Li.
Besides this, there were over ten Ghost Race attendants traveling with them, both male and female, who could only follow on foot.
On the elephants’ necks sat two elephant servants of the White Elephant Race, guiding these giant elephants.

Chen Yan and Zhan Li shared a room. Zhan Li seemed awkward, her perception of Chen Yan, the "bloodline descendant" of their ancestor, completely ruined. She only felt this young man was deceitful and shameless to the extreme. However, the fact that she was responsible for allowing Chen Yan to get injured this time burdened her conscience.
Feeling a guilty conscience, Zhan Li insisted on letting Chen Yan travel with her, not daring to let him leave her sight again.
If anything were to go wrong along the way from the White Elephant Tribe to the Black Wood Tribe, Zhan Li would really have no choice but to return and kneel to apologize.
Yet coexisting with Chen Yan in one room, Zhan Li found him increasingly disagreeable. She endured forcibly, not speaking to Chen Yan along the way, simply sitting cross-legged by herself, meditating and operating her Primordial Qi.
Chen Yan naturally wasn’t going to pay attention to this cold-shouldering Cave Maiden.
In the caravan house, a lot of spirits and fresh fruits from the White Elephant Tribe were piled.
Chen Yan reclined on a soft couch, legs crossed, drinking and eating fruit.
·
With the white elephants serving as beasts of burden, traveling through the mountains felt like walking on flat ground!
Although the white elephants moved slowly, their massive size allowed them to cover a large distance with each step.
In addition, their impressive stamina allowed them to travel without sleep for days. Even while eating, they could walk and eat simultaneously, as long as the elephant servants were on their necks feeding their mouths with bundles of fruit and food.
The massive white elephants walked through mountainous roads as if treading flat ground.
Lakes and rivers were easy crossings for them, as most mountain lakes and rivers were only deep enough to reach their legs.
Traveling on these creatures was not actually slow.
The group journeyed for a day and night. By the next evening, Chen Yan, tired from lying down for so long, got up to move about the carriage, even doing some stretches.
Zhan Li, unwilling to communicate with Chen Yan, simply opened the carriage door and stepped outside to stand on the elephant’s back and enjoy the scenery.
Just as Chen Yan had finished a few sets of stretching and was about to do a couple of sets of jumping jacks...
Suddenly, he felt a tremor beneath him!
