Chapter 19 – Zi Xuan Falls into Darkness

The floating clouds swept over the mountains, and the mountain streams flowed into the melodious strings.

The distant sound of geese echoed, stirring emotions, yet finding a kindred spirit was difficult, and the rhythm was chaotic.

Boom...

In an instant.

The originally spring-filled sleeping palace was suddenly covered in snowflakes, and the temperature inside the room plummeted rapidly.

The Yin Snow Spiritual Body, in the end, couldn't be suppressed and erupted with bone-chilling cold.

Indeed, just as Chen Bei had predicted.

At this moment, Yun Han couldn't control the eruption of her Spiritual Body at all.

"Don't just stand there! Quick!"

"Quickly help suppress Yun Peak Master's Spiritual Body."

"Sister Han, withdraw your True Essence, you can't circulate your True Qi, or your meridians will be ruined."

"Your meridians are already very fragile, they can't withstand the collision of two energies!"

Yun Peak Master also gritted her teeth, barely controlling the True Essence that was on the verge of going berserk.

Boom...

A wave of energy burst forth, sending tables and chairs flying across the room, leaving a mess.

An old injury over a hundred years old.

She almost saw no hope.

Recalling that life-and-death battle back then still filled her with fear.

Her Master self-destructed his Elemental Infant to perish together with the demon, saving her and her Master's wife.

However, both she and her Master's wife were left with irreparable severe injuries.

Now, Yun Han finally saw a glimmer of hope for recovery.

Even a glimmer of hope was enough to make her ecstatic.

The meridians in her body were now adorned with strands of golden light, and she could feel her meridians being gradually repaired.

And the severe congestion was also loosening a bit.

Her nearly collapsing Dao Body felt like it was bathed in a spring breeze.

Especially the Malevolent Qi, which had been cleared by twenty percent.

Indeed, just as Chen Bei said, it could heal.

The pain caused by the congestion of the Spiritual Body and the blockage of the meridians over the years was known only to her.

Worse than death!

Compared to chronic illness, the Malevolent Qi that could lead to demonic transformation was even more terrifying.

It wasn't just about eroding the Dao Body and mind; once completely demonized, there was no turning back.

What awaited her was endless slaughter and being slaughtered.

But she had responsibilities to bear; the Mingyuan Sword Sect could not fall.

She was the senior sister, and with the Master's wife in seclusion, she was the strongest force in the sect.

Though she acted cold and domineering, who knew her suffering?

Unexpectedly, now this young man.

Gave her the hope to live.

Even if it was just a little, she had to hold onto it tightly.

Because she knew what she had gone through over the years to heal.

She dared to take the forbidden Demon Pill of the cultivation world; what was this sacrifice?

...

"Sister Han, during your recovery, you need to stop cultivating!"

"You can't use True Essence anymore!"

"And don't engage in any fights!"

"Do you know how difficult it is to heal this injury?"

Chen Bei, sweating profusely and slightly out of breath, said.

"Chen Bei, I can feel myself getting better!"

"Let's continue the treatment, let's not waste time!"

Yun Han now wanted to strike while the iron was hot and actively invited Chen Bei.

Now with this relationship, Yun Han's gaze at Chen Bei had also changed.

Besides her injuries starting to improve, the lingering joy from earlier also left her a bit intoxicated and infatuated.

The fallen red and the slight hidden pain really didn't matter to her.

"Uh... continue? Don't you need to rest?"

"We cultivators, what hardship haven't we endured, what rest!"

"But... but I need to rest!"

Chen Bei was embarrassed; Yun Han was insatiable!

The Yin-Yang Divine Control Art was originally meant for dual cultivation, where the alternating Yin and Yang would purify and elevate, benefiting both parties.

But to heal Yun Han, Chen Bei not only transferred everything back to her but also released a lot of his Dominant Yang Primal Force.

Otherwise, Yun Han's meridians wouldn't have shown that layer of healing energy.

It was as if he gained no benefit and exhausted himself.

"At such a young age, your body is already so weak, how can you take on great responsibilities!"

Yun Han's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

"I..."

A man can be killed but not humiliated; such an attack on his self-esteem was intolerable.

Chen Bei immediately turned over, ready for another battle.

But both of them ignored Xue Mei's resentful gaze.

Indeed, she was just there to help.

...

Now, Yun Han was also strictly following medical advice, no longer using any True Essence.

She stayed at Bloodsun Peak.

But this stay made Xue Mei feel like each day was a year.

Watching the continuous excitement every day, she felt more and more like a resentful woman.

"Sister, where did you get the Demon Pill?"

During another intense battle, during a break, Xue Mei, to relieve the desire stirred in her heart, changed the subject and asked about the Demon Pill.

The Demon Pill, a taboo in the cultivation world.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should have been refined by Peak Master Zi Xuan."

That day when Zi Xuan came to Bloodsun Peak to ask for the Blood of the Divine Physique, Chen Bei had already noticed some clues.

Considering that Yun Han had been taking the Demon Pill for quite some time, he immediately thought of the source of the Demon Pill.

"Yes! The Demon Pill was indeed made by Junior Sister Zi Xuan!"

"But she only decided to refine the Demon Pill at my request."

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

"Back then, I obtained a fragmentary pill recipe at Rising Dragon Ravine, the Demonic Essence Pill!"

"The recipe claimed it could help those in the Elemental Infant stage quickly enhance their power! With my body's condition, I had no other way but to take the risk and try!"

"But it was also thanks to the Demonic Essence Pill that I was able to cultivate from the seventh level of the Golden Elixir to the ninth level!"

"I thought that perhaps cultivating an Elemental Infant would solve my chronic illness, but in the past two years, the Demonic Essence Pill has become completely ineffective for me."

"And my cultivation has started to decline continuously! My physical condition is also getting worse."

Yun Han didn't hide anything and explained the whole story.

"Reckless!"

"You're not a Demon cultivator! How can you withstand the erosion of Malevolent Qi on your body and mind!"

"And it's a fragmentary recipe; it's already fortunate that you're not dead."

"How long have you been taking it?"

"Over twenty years!"

"Over twenty years? Then this fragmentary recipe is quite formidable, otherwise, you would have died eight hundred times already!"

"Watch your tone, is this how a disciple talks to a Peak Master?"

Yun Han lazily turned over, giving Chen Bei a sideways glance, showing an unhappy expression.

Indeed, Chen Bei's tone was not like a disciple speaking to a Peak Master.

This way of speaking was more like a Master reprimanding a disciple.

"Terrible! Peak Master Zi Xuan has been refining Demon Pills for over twenty years, she might already have deep-seated inner demons!"

"She could very well have already fallen into demonic transformation!"

"I wondered why Peak Master Zi Xuan's expression was so unnatural that day."

Chen Bei recalled Zi Xuan's reaction that day and immediately guessed that it was because he had hit the mark, causing her to panic.

"What?"

"Demonic transformation? It's my fault for harming Junior Sister Zi Xuan!"

Yun Han immediately jumped up, wrapped herself in an immortal robe, and flew out.

"Sister!"

Xue Mei quickly followed Yun Han out.

"If I can be treated, can't Zi Xuan be treated the same?"

"Ruined! Ruined!"

"Using True Essence recklessly, all the efforts of these days are wasted! Yun Han, are you a pig brain?"

"Eh? Why am I still full of anticipation even though the efforts were wasted?"

Chen Bei scratched his head in confusion.
