"Ye Feng, you guessed right. The Divine Concealment Talisman is very special. It can indeed be used multiple times... After this use, it will be able to be used again after a while..."
"The Divine Concealment Talisman has something like... a usage duration. If the concealment time isn't too long, the Divine Concealment Talisman won't be consumed after defending against one attack, unlike the Divine Guard Talisman..."
"The Divine Concealment Talisman seems to have some self-healing ability... though I'm not too sure..."
Yue Yan quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"But I guess it's related to the divine patterns engraved on it..."
After a pause, Yue Yan spoke again. She walked to Shuang's side and pointed at a pattern on the purple talisman on Shuang's hand. "It should be this divine pattern... The core of the Great City Array of the City of Arcane also has this divine pattern... This is probably why the Great City Array of the City of Arcane can self-repair after being damaged..."
"In a sense, the Divine Concealment Talisman is even more precious than the Divine Guard Talisman and the Divine Tribulation Talisman!"
"After all, the Divine Guard Talisman can only withstand one attack and then it's gone..."
Yue Yan let out a sigh. "I used the Divine Guard Talisman to block Ares' attack before, but even if I used it to block a normal bullet, the Divine Guard Talisman would still be used up... The Divine Tribulation Talisman can also only launch one attack..."
"Is that so... It's truly magical..."
Ye Feng listened with surprise.
...
As night fell,
Ye Feng returned to where he had woken up earlier, a building located high up, inconspicuous yet quite intact, undamaged. It was the Fresh Abode.
Ye Feng no longer needed a wheelchair; he could walk on his own.
The living room was already prepared with a table full of food. Bing, Shen Yunyao, Shen Potian, Jiang Sishan, Shui Ling, and Li Shu were all there.
Even Xiao Xiao had woken up. She was looking around with sleepy eyes, still a little bloodshot, appearing somewhat anxious. When she saw Ye Feng being pushed by Qiao Ying, she immediately let out a sigh of relief. "Big Brother..."
Soon, everyone was seated at Yue Yan's invitation, enjoying the delicious food...
...
After the sumptuous dinner,
Shui Ling and Li Shu greeted Yue Yan and then left.
After all, there were many matters in the City of Arcane that needed them to oversee and handle. The others, however, stayed.
Xiao Xiao was already extremely tired. After eating, she chatted with Ye Feng for a while and then went to sleep again...
...
On the balcony,
"Ye Feng, thank you!"
Jiang Sishan looked at the night sky, took a deep breath, turned around, and said to Ye Feng with a sincere expression.
"Thank... thank me for what?"
Jiang Sishan's unexpected words made Ye Feng a little puzzled.
"It's about the clay figures!"
Jiang Sishan continued, "Tu Pao's ability, he can use clay to create people who were once dried up and killed by him..."
"Before, even though I learned the truth from Uncle Luo Ming... there was always a knot in my heart..."
"A few days ago, I saw clay figures created by Tu Pao, including my father and some people from the Jiang family... How should I put it..."
Jiang Sishan scratched his head, not knowing how to explain. "It was very liberating... a heavy feeling in my heart that was gone..."
"Thank you!"
With that, Jiang Sishan thanked Ye Feng again.
"Oh, you're welcome... I didn't expect it to be like this either..."
Ye Feng waved his hand, quite surprised. Although he didn't fully understand the situation at the time, it seemed to be a good thing for Jiang Sishan.
"Ye Feng, have some fruit!"
At this moment, Shen Yunyao came over with a large plate of sliced fruit.
"Oh, okay~"
Ye Feng immediately reached for a cherry tomato and popped it into his mouth.
Soon, the large fruit platter was nearly empty, most of it consumed by Ye Feng. Jiang Sishan and Shen Yunyao hadn't eaten much. After all, besides meat, Ye Feng liked fruit the most...
"I'll go get another plate!"
Jiang Sishan ate the last piece of apple, then picked up the fruit platter and walked back into the room.
A few minutes later, he returned with another large plate of fruit.
Ye Feng, Shen Yunyao, and Jiang Sishan continued to snack and pass the time.
"Grandpa!"
"Senior Shen!"
Shen Yunyao and Jiang Sishan stood up and greeted Shen Potian as he walked over, leaning on his cane and carrying a pot of tea. Ye Feng also nodded in greeting.
"Sit, sit, sit!"
Shen Potian quickly waved them over.
Then, the four of them sat by the balcony, drinking tea, eating fruit, and chatting...
...
"It's hard to imagine... The City of Arcane, the strongest and most prosperous among the Seven Great Powers, has become like this in less than a day..."
Shen Yunyao leaned against the balcony railing, looking at the messy scene ahead, and murmured.
"Yaoyao, remember what I told you before... The Seven Great Powers have no future, including the City of Arcane... Uh..."
Shen Potian said, then felt awkward, as Jiang Sishan was right there.
"Young friend Jiang... This old man was talking nonsense while drunk. Please don't take it to heart..."
Shen Potian explained to Jiang Sishan with an embarrassed expression.
"No, Senior Shen is right..."
Jiang Sishan frowned. "The City Lord also told me this before... I didn't quite understand it... But this time, with Ares' attack on the City of Arcane, that kind of spatial tearing, almost world-destroying power... I might understand it a little..."
...
The next day,
Ye Feng woke up very early. Although he was tired and his head was groggy, with occasional sharp pains, he had no sleepiness.
His current physical condition was very poor, feeling like a dying old man. What's more, he couldn't sense any tribulation fire within himself, not even arcane energy was left...
"Am I crippled?"
After a thorough check, Ye Feng was very worried.
Immediately, he opened the [Shop] and found that the refreshed supplies were ordinary. He then started searching his space warehouse, hoping to find something to help his body recover...
...
After breakfast,
Unlike yesterday, Ye Feng did not go out for fresh air. Instead, he continued to search his space warehouse alone.
As Ye Feng searched, the light in front of him flickered, and bags and boxes of supplies appeared in the room one after another...
In a short while, the living room where Ye Feng was located was filled with various supplies.
"The Strengthening Fruit I had before was eaten... the half one given by Wu Ye Lan was also gone... The steel scale bear's bones and jerky are useless... the blood ginseng is also..."
Ye Feng searched through the supplies, and finally his gaze fell on a plant that looked like a Ganoderma lucidum, with leaves radiating a colorful glow. It was the Spirit Nourishing Ganoderma.
"Let's recover my spirit first!"
Ye Feng quickly made a decision. He approached the Spirit Nourishing Ganoderma, closed his eyes, and inhaled the peculiar fragrance emanating from it almost greedily.
Gradually, Ye Feng's groggy head became lighter, his mind clearer, and the occasional sharp pains disappeared...
