The process was not very fast and took another day until nearly all her wounds were healed and natural energy inside the cultivation sea started to fill up. As the pill was supplying her with a surge of natural energy Mei Lin tried to create as much blood from her natural energy as possible, so she could replenish it and didn't feel too weak.
Mei Lin didn't waste any more time, but she discovered that even her blood path would have problems creating large amounts of blood. Mei Lin felt very happy about that because the same thing would happen to other cultivators, but with one big difference and that is that they couldn't create blood like her and their problem would not be solved as fast as MeLin'sin.
After the pill lost its effect, Mei Lin opened her eyes and let out turbid air. After slowly standing up and leaving the garden and stopped thinking about the whole thing behind and set herself a new goal.
'I need to find out as much as possible about the structure in the Peng sect and what is happening inside. I will need to discover if this Li family is trying to create demons.'
Other than the entrance into the cellar there was nothing else, so Mei Lin didn't wait for anything and left heading back to the tea-house to make sure that everyone inside was all right.
Nearly more than Mei Lin left the cellar, disciplines from the Sect were dispatched through the city and started killing all remaining bandits, who didn't leave the city and tried to plunder everything that was left not destroyed.
These days another wave of fights emerged all over the city. This time disciplines from sects entered the green and yellow zone and started massacring bandits which only turned the whole city into a giant battlefield full of power bandits and cultivators who were all plundering the city.
Except for that a lot of high realm bandits and residents residing in the city were fighting with all their might for days long, so the whole city was in turmoil.
Mei Lin went through the ruins of the city and everything along the way was burning. Only as she arrived at the market in the yellow zone, which she and the girl visited a few times together, did she find any signs of the market at all. Instead of the market, it was the giant crater. Not even buildings around were there. When she saw that, Mei Lin didn't wait for anything and rushed to where Xin Ming's tea-house was located.
Mei Lin felt a strange sense of crisis when she was thinking about the tea-house like something bad happened. She moved through the city and as she entered the vicinity where the shabby street was full of stench and poverty, where she and Xia found as they first entered into the city.
As she entered the street where the first was located the tea-house, none of the houses were there. The whole street along with others was in ruins. Mei Lin rushed forward to where the tea-house was located.
Xia and Lu Lan were already at the place where the tea-house was located first, but it was not there. Both were there and a big part of the tea-house was cleaned.
As Mei Lin saw both, she saw their sad faces. Xia looked very sad as she sat next to Lu Lan, who had red eyes from crying all day long. Their clothes were covered in mud and none of them looked like they were in good health. As Mei Lin came closer, they saw her and then Lu Lan looked back. She was looking at two bodies covered by white blankets.
As soon as Mei Lin saw the bodies, she understood that under the blankets were Xin Ming and Hua Fey. They were both killed in the fight between defenders of the city and bandits. Mei Lin didn't say anything and went to the wine cellar located in the tea-house
As she was standing in the place where the cellar was, Mei Lin's hand, appaired the crystal knife and after pouring as much natural energy as she had into the knife, it started shining with red color.
Mei Lin drew a circle on the ground and as she did, the knife created this exact circle nearly metter deep down. That was enough to cut through everything that stood in the way, and as Mei Lin finished the circle, more than half of her natural energy was gone.
At the same moment, she along with the rest of the things under her started falling into the cellar.
The seller was three meters deep under the ground, and just before Mei Lin hit the floor, she used her natural energy to reinforce her body, so she would not suffer injuries from the fall.
As she landed in the cellar she was immediately covered by the dust. After coughing for a while dust settled and she went deep into the wine cellar.
The wine cellar was full of wine jars, fermented tea, food, and one shelf with books. Compared to the cellar in the Fey mansion, the wine cellar was two meters wide and four meters in length.
Mei Lin took out a few storage bags from the bandits she killed and went through everything in the storage bags she could open. Mei Lin placed everything on the ground and selected only spirit stones and all even valuable things for cultivation, which were stored in the storage ring.
It took two storage bags to put everything from the cellar out. After collecting more than forty jars of wine and books she quickly went out.
It took a while, and Mei Lin was out.
Mei Lin's cleaning of the cellar was complete. She went to Xia and Yu Lan who were still next to two white covered bodies. As Mei Lin observed the white cover, she saw that under the cover weren't whole bodies, only a few parts. As she saw devastated Yu Lan, she was sure that it wasn't a very pleasant encounter. Mei Lin looked at both and as they looked back they saw two bloodred eyes looking at them.
[spoiler] Blood loss is one of the main reasons why cultivators of low reams can't fight for a long time and their battles are more bloody than others at high cultivation realms. Despite being able to use natural energy unless the cultivator reaches certain of the realm, their mortal body is their only way to protect themselves and if it's destroyed, they are dead and their soul would perish.[/spoiler]
