The next day.

Last month, Chen Ping had only received one Spirit Stone, yet he decided to use it to exchange for a Purifying Grass seed.

Although his body was already in a terrible state, at least hope still remained.

The fact that Purifying Grass could be grown within the Jade Pendant space was his source of hope!

As long as there was hope, there was a chance to turn things around.

Once he succeeded in turning things around…

As for those beasts who bullied him and treated him like livestock, he would settle accounts with them one by one, leaving none out!

Especially that despicable and shameless Fatty Wang!

Just thinking about that fat, big-eared face made Chen Ping gnash his teeth in hatred.

Fatty Wang must be executed by a thousand cuts!

Killing him ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough!

In the mine, he casually dug for ore for a day.

He couldn’t really dig much anymore. His body was too weak; even digging one or two pounds of Spirit Ore in a day was difficult.

So he simply didn’t bother moving much and had a good sleep instead.

This month was still long.

Once the Purifying Grass in the space matured and neutralized the toxins in his body, completing the hundred-pound task would be no problem at all.

For now… he should focus on recuperating, doing as little as possible to ensure he didn’t die prematurely before consuming the Purifying Grass.

If he lost his life, that would truly be a huge loss.

Upon exiting the mine, Chen Ping immediately sought out that short Immortal responsible for selling miscellaneous items.

“Immortal Master, I… I want to buy another Purifying Grass seed.”

Chen Ping’s voice was hoarse and weak.

He handed over the Spirit Stone that still carried his body warmth.

The short Immortal glanced up at his sallow, withered face, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly. Without saying anything more, he accepted the Spirit Stone and handed Chen Ping a small oil-paper package.

Chen Ping’s expression remained composed.

Obtaining another Purifying Grass seed would significantly shorten the time needed to turn his fate around!

Returning to the shack, he ignored the dust and exhaustion covering him and entered the Jade Pendant space without hesitation.

Inside the space, the three plants in the center of the Black Earth were no longer their initial sprout-like appearance.

The first one planted had fully matured.

Its leaves were no longer emerald green but had taken on a deep, pure blue color. The veins were clear, glowing with a jade-like warmth. It stood there quietly, emanating an indescribably fresh aura.

It smelled very pleasant.

Like the refreshing scent of watermelon on a summer day.

The other two plants beside it were also thriving, their leaves a vibrant green, not far from maturity.

It worked!

It really grew successfully!

Chen Ping’s heart pounded wildly, almost leaping out of his throat.

Staggering, he walked up to that mature blue Purifying Grass and involuntarily knelt before it.

This… was a masterpiece from Heaven.

It was also the hope this space had brought him!

A light shone in Chen Ping’s eyes.

Without hesitation, he extended his trembling, emaciated hand and gingerly uprooted this blue spirit grass along with its roots.

Black soil still clung to the roots.

Chen Ping didn’t even look at it, nor did he bother to wash it. He directly stuffed the entire Purifying Grass into his mouth and began chewing vigorously.

The leaves carried a slight earthy fishiness and a peculiar bitterness. The stems were somewhat tough and not tasty at all.

But he paid no mind, just chewing and swallowing desperately.

He needed it!

Every inch of his skin needed this spirit grass.

It was the holy medicine that could save him, that could pull Chen Ping out of this hell filled with molten lava!

Initially, after the Purifying Grass entered his stomach, there wasn’t much sensation.

Chen Ping frowned slightly, thinking perhaps the Purifying Grass was useless. Maybe the old-timers in the mine had collectively lied to him.

But merely after a few breaths, a gentle yet undeniable warm current suddenly surged up from his stomach!

The warm current rapidly spread, coursing through his limbs and bones.

Immediately after, Chen Ping felt a strong churning in his abdomen. He couldn’t help but let out a long belch.

A foul, stinking breath rushed out from his throat.

This was just the beginning.

All the pores on his body opened wide. Streams of thick, icy-cold liquid, carrying an intense stench, continuously seeped out from his pores!

The liquid was dark brown, like aged sludge or underground filth, with a pungent, offensive odor.

This filth was precisely the Ore Toxin that had accumulated in his body for many days, nearly claiming his life!

As the toxins were expelled, that warm current grew stronger and hotter.

Chen Ping felt pain throughout his body but couldn’t help letting out a low moan of relief.

His insides felt as if they were ignited, dispelling the long-standing chill and dampness.

A long-lost feeling of strength began to awaken and grow from within his numb limbs and bones.

Chen Ping felt unbearably hot all over, as if an inexhaustible force was surging and crashing within his body.

He clearly knew this was the immense medicinal power of the Purifying Grass at work; it must not be wasted!

He immediately assumed a stance within the space and began practicing the Vitality Technique.

First set, second set… His movements started off stiff and awkward but became increasingly fluid and natural.

He practiced faster and faster, with more and more vigor.

The intense heat within his body was guided by the technique’s execution to flush through his system, nourishing his depleted Qi and blood, and expelling even more Ore Toxin.

Sweat poured out profusely. It was no longer weak cold sweat, but turbid sweat mixed with residual toxins. Though its smell was equally unpleasant, it was at least a good sign!

Third set, fourth set, fifth set…

He became completely immersed in it, forgetting time and fatigue.

His body was like parched land greedily absorbing this nourishing rain.

Only after finishing the final movement of the eighth set of the Vitality Technique did Chen Ping finally let out a long, deep exhalation of turbid air.

That intense heat finally dissipated completely, replaced by an unprecedented feeling of lightness, warmth, and abundant strength.

He stood there slowly stretching his joints and bones.

His joints no longer ached or felt stiff; they were filled with flexibility and strength.

His breathing became long and steady; that feeling of suffocating tightness in his chest had completely vanished.

Although his sallow complexion hadn’t fully regained its rosy hue yet, the lifeless gray pallor had faded away, and his eyes had regained their clarity and spirit.

He looked down at his arms. They were still thin but clearly no longer withered. He tried making a fist.

A sense of strength far exceeding anything before clearly transmitted through!

Not only had he recovered to his pre-poisoning state, he even felt that his strength and Qi-blood were stronger than at their previous peak!

Chen Ping was deeply shocked.

He marveled inwardly at the efficacy of this Immortal spirit grass.

He hadn’t expected an Immortal spirit grass to be so miraculous, its effects far exceeding his expectations!

With this, completing the hundred-pound Spirit Ore task demanded by the Immortals would be easily achievable!

Chen Ping looked up towards the unchanging hazy moonlight above in the space, then looked down at the other two thriving Purifying Grass plants on the Black Earth.

Finally, his gaze fell on the oil-paper package containing the newly purchased seed in his hand.

Without hesitation, Chen Ping dug another small hole and planted the seed.

At this rate, just waiting a few more months…

He would completely turn things around.

When that time came, all accounts to be settled would be settled together, leaving no regrets behind!

He took a deep breath of the fresh air within the space, his eyes becoming incomparably resolute.

Survive! Grow stronger! Leave this mine! Take revenge!

Not a single one could be missed!
