Chapter 5 - Recollection's interlude2

After confirming that the Fire Hell Dragon had been defeated and that the mages had already fallen irreversibly, Pan Lei was filled with heavy sorrow and grief. Looking at the unconscious Liao Xue, he showed determination and reluctance in his eyes. He knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long. Powerful monsters in the Beast Forest might reappear at any time and pose a threat to Liao Xue. Therefore, he quickly made a decision to let Pan Zhen lead the remaining warriors of the family back first, and he himself stayed behind to take care of Liao Xue.

During the journey back, Pan Zhen's heart was filled with jealousy and resentment towards his younger brother Pan Lei. He couldn't bear the fact that Pan Lei's position in the family was rising day by day while he was gradually being marginalized. This dissatisfaction kept fermenting in his heart.

When Pan Zhen's team reached a desolate forest path, the soldiers accompanying him suddenly launched a merciless massacre. These soldiers, loyal to the Pan family, were innocent victims of Pan Lei's jealousy and ambition. Their blood stained the ground, and the wailing echoed in the forest, but no one could stop this tragedy from happening.

After the massacre, Pan Zhen returned to the family with a sense of bloodshed and guilt. He knew that his actions had violated the family's taboo and went against the morality and laws of the Xuanwu Continent. However, he did not choose to confess or repent. Instead, he chose to conceal the truth and bury the soldiers' whereabouts deep in his heart and tell them to return to the family. On the way, he encountered terrifying monsters, and the soldiers fought desperately to give him a chance to escape. His younger brother Pan Lei said he had something important to look for a friend. After this upheaval, Pan Zhen temporarily became the one responsible for the family affairs instead of Pan Lei. . On the vast and boundless land of Xuanwu Continent, five major sects stand in opposition to each other. Among them, the Magic Family Liao Family is renowned for its profound magic foundation and long history. However, recently, an event that shook the entire continent occurred within the Liao Family - the heiress of the family, Liao Xue, mysteriously disappeared and her whereabouts remained unknown.

To search for Liao Xue, the Liao Family spared no effort and continuously dispatched elite forces to search in the Tiil Empire and the Wild Beast Forest. These two places are the key locations where clues about Liao Xue might be hidden. One is the Tiil in the Empire, an affiliated country of the Dark Sect on Xuanwu Continent, and the other is the Wild Beast Habitat, full of unknowns and dangers. Both are crucial places.

This move by the Liao Family caused a huge stir on Xuanwu Continent. People speculated about the reasons for Liao Xue's disappearance and the possible misfortunes she might have encountered. At the same time, the prestige and status of the Liao Family were greatly affected, and the entire family was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

However, during this search for Liao Xue, there was a key figure who chose to remain silent and conceal - he was Pan Zhen. As the eldest son of the Pan Family, although Pan Zhen had no direct connection with Liao Xue, he unexpectedly became the only one who knew her whereabouts. He did not want his younger brother, Pan Lei, to return so soon, nor did he want Pan Lei, the benefactor of the Liao Family, to become the family's savior, because then he would be ruined! There would be no chance to become the inheritor of the family! In the year when Pan Lei disappeared, Pan Zhen gradually became the core of the family's power!

On the other side of the story: Pan Lei carefully held Liao Xue in his arms. Her body was light and cold, as if she would disintegrate in the wind at any moment. He took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and set off on the journey to leave the Wild Beast Forest. Along the way, with his extraordinary courage and wisdom, he avoided countless potential dangers and finally safely brought Liao Xue to the nearest Hill Town.

In Hill Town, Pan Lei found a secluded corner and built a simple house by himself. Although the house was simple, it was sufficient to protect Liao Xue from the elements and provide her with a safe shelter. Every day, he took good care of Liao Xue, cleaning her wounds, changing her bandages, and brewing herbal medicine to try to alleviate the pain in her body.

Liao Xue was in a coma and showed no response to anything outside. Pan Lei stood by her side, looking at her pale and peaceful face, filled with worry and helplessness. He prayed countless times, hoping that Liao Xue could wake up soon and recover her health.

During this long period of time, Pan Lei almost became a half-doctor. He learned herbal knowledge on his own and tried various methods to treat Liao Xue's injuries. Every night, when it was quiet, he would sit by Liao Xue's bed and gently tell her stories from the forest, hoping that these stories could awaken her dormant soul.

However, Liao Xue's injuries were far more serious than imagined. Although her body gradually regained vitality on the surface, the injuries in her body had not healed yet. Pan Lei knew that only by finding the true treatment method could Liao Xue truly recover. So, he decided to leave Hill Town and go to a farther place to search for the mysterious herbs or magic that could cure Liao Xue.

Before leaving Hill Town to search for the method to cure Liao Xue, Pan Lei deeply looked at Liao Xue and softly said, "When I come back, you must wake up." Then, he resolutely turned around and set off on the journey to search for the treatment method. And Liao Xue, still lay quietly in the simple house.

Before deciding to leave Hill Town to search for the method to cure Liao Xue, Pan Lei knew the importance of protecting Liao Xue. As a six-star warrior, he possessed a unique ability - Barrier Sealing. This skill was a powerful defensive means that only six-star warriors and above could master. It could create a space isolated from the outside world, protecting the people or things within from external interference or harm.

Pan Lei stood in front of the dilapidated house, took a deep breath, raised his hands slowly, and began to chant the ancient incantation. As the incantation echoed, the surrounding air began to vibrate, as if pulled by an intangible force. Gradually, a translucent barrier began to form around the house, flickering with faint light, yet revealing an undeniable tenacity and power.

This barrier not only could block out the monsters or enemies from the outside world, but also could isolate sound and vision, ensuring that the snow would remain undisturbed during her sleep. Pan Lei looked at the barrier before him, nodded with satisfaction. He knew that with this barrier's protection, Snow would be able to wait here safely for his return.

Before leaving, Pan Lei once again glanced at Snow. Her face was still pale, but her breathing had become much steadier. Pan Lei silently prayed in his heart, hoping that Snow could maintain this calm and tranquility before he found a cure. Then, he turned around, strode out with a grand pace, leaving the town of Hill, and embarked on the journey to search for mysterious herbs or magic. His heart was filled with determination and courage, although he and Snow didn't know each other, it was hard for him to bear the thought of such a powerful magician dying.

Pan Lei's departure did not surprise the people of Hill Town. In this world full of magic and adventure, the quests of the brave always come with unknowns and challenges. And Snow, in this simple house sealed by the barrier, quietly waited for her hero's return, expecting that one day, she could open her eyes again and see the beauty and hope of this world.

Pan Lei's journey was full of hardships and challenges, but he never gave up on the hope of finding a cure for Lao Xue. He knew that in this vast world, there were many ancient wisdoms and powers hidden, and these often were recorded in those ancient and dusty books that had been preserved for a long time.

So, Pan Lei began to browse through various ancient medical books, looking for clues about the family of the divine doctor. Some of these books were very old, with blurry handwriting, and some were fragile due to long-term preservation. But Pan Lei did not give up. He patiently turned the pages and carefully read the words, and finally, in an ancient and worn-out medical book, he found the records about the hermitic family of the divine doctor.

The divine doctor family described in the book lived in a distant mountain range for generations. They were proficient in medicine and herbs and had the magical power to cure stubborn diseases in the world. However, this family was solitary and did not like to interact with the outside world, let alone be willing to teach their medical skills to outsiders.

Pan Lei did not hesitate. He immediately set out on a journey to the location of the divine doctor family. Along the way, he experienced countless hardships and obstacles, crossing dense forests and climbing steep mountains, even several times narrowly missing out on fierce monsters. But Pan Lei's heart was always filled with hope and determination, because he knew that Lao Xue was waiting for him to bring back the treatment method.

Finally, Pan Lei arrived at the mountain where the divine doctor family lived. Standing at the foot of the mountain, he looked up at the towering peaks, filled with awe and anticipation. He began to climb step by step, every step full of hardships and challenges. But when he stood in front of the door of the divine doctor family's home, all the fatigue vanished.

At first, the people of the divine doctor family did not pay attention to Pan Lei's arrival. They looked at this faraway warrior coldly, as if he was an insignificant passer-by. But Pan Lei did not give up. With his sincerity and persistence, he moved the people of the divine doctor family. As a six-star warrior, his determination to do anything for the divine doctor family was evident.

The people of the divine doctor family were moved by Pan Lei's sincerity. They began to gradually accept this faraway warrior. And Pan Lei, with his own actions, proved his value. He helped the divine doctor family solve many difficult problems, whether it was collecting precious herbs or protecting the family from the invasion of monsters. Pan Lei demonstrated his powerful strength and wisdom as a six-star warrior.

As time went by, the attitude of the people of the divine doctor family towards Pan Lei gradually changed. They began to regard Pan Lei as a member of the family and even taught him some precious medical skills and herbs. And Pan Lei, in this process, also learned many knowledge about medicine and herbs. He knew that these knowledge would become the key to curing Lao Xue.

Finally, with the help of the divine doctor family, Pan Lei found a way to cure Lao Xue. After a series of in-depth and meticulous investigations and research, we finally revealed the root of the problem. It turned out that swallowing the dragon core of the fire prison dragon could indeed enhance one's cultivation. This was already known in the magical world. However, this method was not without risks, especially when the magician's own attributes did not match the attributes of the dragon core.

Lao Xue, as a master of ice magic, her inner abode had already been filled with pure ice magic power. However, the fire prison dragon dragon core that she accidentally swallowed contained powerful fire energy. These two completely different attributes met in her body, not only did they not enhance each other, but also caused a violent conflict. The violent energy of the fire dragon core clashed with the ice magic power in her body, causing a great burden on her body and even threatening her life safety.

To solve this problem, we must find a way to neutralize the fire energy and eliminate the conflict in her body. After much exploration and experimentation, we finally discovered a precious herb - Golden Leaf. Jin Ye has a unique medicinal property. It can be used as an ingredient to guide and eliminate the fire energy within Lao Xue's body, thereby restoring her body's balance and harmony.

In addition, different attribute magic cores can have great value in the hands of the right person. Therefore, magic cores that do not match Lao Xue's attribute can be sold as commodities.

To consume magic cores of different attributes, one must have Jin Ye. The effect is slightly worse than that of the same attribute. Pan Lei thought that although Lao Xue was a member of a big family, she was too young and had many inexperienced aspects. When he first came out to experience the world, he only saw the people in his family eating all kinds of magic cores but didn't know that they needed an ingredient.

He bid farewell to the God Doctor Family with gratitude and set off on the journey back to Shiel Town. His heart was filled with hope and joy because he knew that he would return to her side with the hope of curing Lao Xue.

Pan Lei, after a long journey and unremitting efforts, finally returned to the place where the barrier was located with the precious golden leaves. Looking at the still sleeping Lu Xue, he felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. There was the anticipation of relieving her pain, and there was also the unease about the unknown outcome.

He carefully ground the golden leaves into fine powder, ensuring that each grain could exert the maximum medicinal effect. Then, he slowly poured the golden yellow powder into a bowl of clear water and gently stirred it until the golden leaves were completely dissolved. This seemingly ordinary bowl of water actually contained the magical power that could reconcile the conflict of ice and fire within Lu Xue's body.

Pan Lei gently lifted Lu Xue and handed the bowl to her lips, tenderly feeding her to take it down. As the golden leaf solution flowed in, Lu Xue's closed eyes began to tremble slightly, as if a warm and gentle force was quietly spreading within her body.

It was seen that these two completely different forces - the ice and fire - began to slowly merge under the effect of the golden leaves. They no longer fought fiercely, but like two converging rivers, gradually flowing into a calm and profound current. Eventually, this force reached a perfect balance within Lu Xue's body, no longer showing any single attribute feature, making Lu Xue look no different from an ordinary person.

However, when Lu Xue slowly opened her eyes and looked at Pan Lei, her eyes were filled with confusion. Pan Lei felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He realized that the golden leaves had successfully reconciled the forces within Lu Xue's body, and perhaps Lu Xue had been in a coma for too long, resulting in side effects - Lu Xue lost her memory!

Pan Lei tried to awaken Lu Xue's memories of the past, but no matter how hard he tried, Lu Xue's eyes always remained that of strangeness and emptiness. She didn't remember her identity, and even didn't remember that she had once been a powerful ice mage.

Facing this sudden change, Pan Lei sighed inwardly. Leaving the family for so long, it was time to go back. He didn't know how the family was, so he quickly wrote a letter to the family, telling them that he was safe and where he was located.

During the journey back to Pan Family with Lu Xue, who had lost her memory and lost all her cultivation, Pan Lei and Lu Xue experienced an unforgettable journey. This journey was not only full of challenges and dangers, but also gradually brought the two lonely hearts closer.

Pan Lei, a righteous and kind warrior with strong power, knew that Lu Xue was currently vulnerable and helpless, so he took extra care of her. He patiently listened to every word Lu Xue said, even if those words were just her ramblings after losing her memory. Pan Lei's actions demonstrated what true care and protection were, and his meticulous care made Lu Xue feel unprecedented warmth.

While Lu Xue had lost her memory, her soul was like a pure white sheet of paper, capable of clearly perceiving Pan Lei's kindness and sincerity. During their interaction, she was attracted by his upright character and strong power. Their topics of conversation increased, from daily trivial matters to life ideals, covering everything. With Pan Lei's company, Lu Xue gradually regained the joy of life and rekindled hope for the future.

As time passed, a budding affection grew between them. Pan Lei's bravery and responsibility made Lu Xue admire him, while Lu Xue's tenderness and innocence moved Pan Lei. They began to realize that each other had quietly become an indispensable part of their lives.

However, this beautiful relationship was not without difficulties. The truth of Lu Xue's memory loss and loss of cultivation was like an invisible shackles in this journey full of unknowns and challenges. During this journey, Pan Lei and Lu Xue supported each other and grew together. They used their actions to interpret what true love was - not a brief passion and romance, but long-term companionship and support. No matter what the future held, they would walk hand in hand, facing every challenge and difficulty in life together. While they were crossing the Warcraft Forest, they suddenly came across a group of terrifying masked men, all dressed in black robes.
