"You're saying this is our 'master'?" Lucas Walker, though he had lost an arm and suffered many other wounds, was not fatally injured. His external wounds had already been treated on the way, and now, as he regained consciousness, he listened to Emily Harris excitedly recounting how their master killed Weng Mingfeng, entered Mist Town to rescue them, and even fought his way to the mutated Spider King's lair. As he listened, even the usually cold, aloof, and quiet Lucas Walker looked at Emily Harris with a skeptical gaze.
"Not just you—even I feel like I'm dreaming right now, all dizzy! But master really has changed..."
"Changed!!" Lucas Walker glanced at his arm but said nothing, silently thinking to himself.
Emily Harris was already used to Lucas Walker's demeanor. Lucas Walker was somewhat obsessive in his actions, eccentric in his dealings, always maintaining a cold and distrustful attitude toward people and things, extremely self-protective, not easy to open up, poor at communication, and disinclined to show his emotions.
Among their peers, he spoke the least. Even if he had feelings or thoughts about his fellow disciples or even his master, he never showed them.
"Is your arm still there?" Just as Emily Harris was marveling at how much their master had changed, Ethan Clark entered with Olivia Smith.
Chapter 12: Reattaching the Severed Arm
Lucas Walker was stunned for a moment. Although it was just a simple question, it already made him feel a big difference—no sighing, no excessive concern, just simple, direct, straightforward, and decisive.
"It's here."
As Lucas Walker spoke, he took out the severed arm from his storage pouch. The blood on it had already dried, but the cut was very clean. Just as Ethan Clark had thought, Lucas Walker had cut off his own arm and preserved it.
"Good, as long as it's here." Although he had already guessed as much, seeing it with his own eyes finally put Ethan Clark's mind at ease. Now, they were in the cultivation world, unlike before when technology was advanced. Back then, if you suffered a severe injury like a severed arm, even if it could be reattached, it would never be the same as before—there was no way to fully recover.
But in the cultivation world, as long as the severed limb was preserved and reattached with special medicine, it was even possible not to leave a single scar.
Even if an arm, leg, or some part of the body was completely destroyed, it was said... that the true top experts of the cultivation world could restore it, without even needing immortal pills or spiritual medicine. But that was a level far beyond what Ethan Clark and the others could reach or even understand at this point.
Lucas Walker had already delayed for more than a day, and at Ethan Clark and the others' speed, there was absolutely no way to get back to Yushan within two days.
"Third and fourth junior brothers both have internal injuries, and fourth junior brother is also poisoned. For now, there's nothing we can do but wait until we return to Yushan. As long as we keep channeling our true energy to help them and prevent their injuries from worsening, they should be able to hold on until we get back."
After senior brother Olivia Smith finished speaking, Ethan Clark stood there silently. Lucas Walker said, "Master, I'll do it."
Once his arm was reattached, they could hurry back to Yushan as soon as possible to avoid delaying the treatment of Benjamin Clark and John Smith's injuries. Moreover, as a mid-stage flight cultivator, he could also help stabilize Benjamin Clark's condition.
Hearing Lucas Walker's words, Emily Harris lowered his head in anger, breathing heavily. If only master had been this strong before, things wouldn't have come to this. If fourth junior brother reattached his arm like this, he would be half-disabled in the future, and his potential for progress would be limited. Unless... they could obtain a top-grade spiritual pill within a year, or perhaps have a chance to get an immortal pill in the future, otherwise...
But both possibilities were nearly impossible. Even if they returned to Yushan, with their status, there was no way they could obtain a top-grade spiritual pill, let alone an immortal pill, which was like a dream.
Sigh! Olivia Smith also let out a soft sigh and turned away, unable to bear watching. There was no other choice, but this would ruin Lucas Walker's future.
"Do it. Master will reattach it for you personally." Ethan Clark agreed without hesitation. Top-grade spiritual pills and immortal pills were not just precious in the cultivation world—they weren't exactly rare. Even if they were, as long as they existed in this world, Ethan Clark was confident he could get them.
