"Young friend Zhou Xuan is truly a divine being!"
"To be able to merge two different and mutually destructive true qi into one!"
"And to be able to unleash it at will for his own use, truly remarkable!"
"Indeed, and most importantly, his age!"
"Judging by his appearance, he's likely not even twenty!"
"To reach our level at such a young age truly makes us feel ashamed!"
"Alas, isn't that the truth, the younger generation surpasses the old!"
"I reckon, in less than three years, we old timers will be swept aside by him onto the shores of obscurity!"
Within the main hall of the Lingyun Immortal Sect, as Zhou Xuan was treating Daoist Wan Huo, several elder Daoists nearby began to sigh with emotion.
Looking at the powerful aura erupting from Zhou Xuan's body, these old Daoists felt as if their lives had lost their color and purpose!
"Alright, you old fellows, don't even think about comparing yourselves to him; that's just asking for trouble!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this young friend Zhou Xuan should be the legendary Innate Dao Body!"
"Such individuals are blessed by heaven on the path of cultivation!"
"Their casual cultivation can be equivalent to several times the effort of ordinary people!"
"So, envy is useless. It's better to cultivate even more diligently in your own practice than to waste time admiring him!"
"Diligently? We've been diligent for decades..."
Upon hearing Daoist Tai Xuan's words, the remaining three old Daoists rolled their eyes in frustration, silently grumbling in their hearts.
"However, I recall in some ancient texts I stumbled upon, there was a mention of something..."
"Didn't it say that such Innate Dao Bodies could only be born among the offspring of two Ascended Realm powerhouses?"
"Could this little fellow's parents be Ascended Realm powerhouses?"
"But that shouldn't be the case!"
"The cultivation world hasn't had any news of Ascended Realm powerhouses for a long time, let alone two of them!"
"Perhaps those ancient texts were also mistaken!"
Daoist Tai Xuan, after admonishing the other Daoists, suddenly seemed to recall something and muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan had no time to concern himself with Daoist Tai Xuan's thoughts.
He was diligently using the true qi within his body to guide the toxins out of Daoist Wan Huo's body and gather them in one place.
This was to facilitate their expulsion later!
"This Yin-Yang Profound Fiend Poison is truly tenacious, it's so troublesome even with my Pure Yang True Qi and Pure Yin Qi guiding it!"
"If it were anyone else with two different kinds of true qi, even if they knew the cure, they wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing!"
"After all, guiding it while maintaining the balance of the true qi is not an easy feat!"
Sensing the obstruction of his true qi within Daoist Wan Huo's body, Zhou Xuan muttered to himself, while simultaneously increasing the transmission of true qi from his hands.
Thus, after a struggle that lasted for a full half hour, Zhou Xuan finally felt that the toxins within Daoist Wan Huo's body had been drawn to his throat!
"Out!"
With a mighty roar from Zhou Xuan, the two streams of true qi from his hands pushed forward fiercely, striking Daoist Wan Huo's back.
"Pfft!"
Following this strike, a flush of crimson suddenly appeared on Daoist Wan Huo's face.
Then, a mouthful of black, pus-like blood was spewed out of his mouth!
"I'm cured!"
"Hahaha, heaven has not abandoned me!"
"I thank young friend Zhou Xuan for saving my life. I won't say any more superfluous words!"
"From now on, if this old man can be of any use, even if it means wading through mountains of knives and seas of fire, I will not flinch!"
With the expulsion of this pus-like blood, Daoist Wan Huo's complexion improved noticeably.
He himself was so excited that he was about to jump up. He turned and bowed to Zhou Xuan.
Although he had appeared fearless of death when comforting his fellow disciples earlier,
that was merely an attitude adopted out of desperation.
He simply didn't want the Lingyun Immortal Sect's morale to be dampened by his passing, hence his feigned indifference.
But if one could live, who would be willing to die?
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan had given him a chance at rebirth!
After this incident, he had secretly vowed in his heart.
For the remainder of his life, he would repay Zhou Xuan's kindness with his own life.
"There's no need to be so polite, Senior!"
"As I said, we are family, no need for formalities!"
"Also, the toxins in your body are not completely eradicated. Please remain seated for a while longer!"
"Let me use acupuncture needles to expel the remaining toxins from your body, so there won't be any lingering effects!"
Seeing Daoist Wan Huo's excited demeanor, Zhou Xuan smiled nonchalantly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.
"Perhaps we can postpone dealing with the remaining toxins for now. I can see that little friend Zhou Xuan has already consumed a considerable amount of true qi helping Wan Huo expel the poison!"
"Why not rest for a while, and you can help him with the acupuncture later?"
Observing Zhou Xuan's actions, Tai Xuan spoke up slowly.
"This..."
"Yes, Senior Brother Sect Master is right!"
"Little friend, you look exhausted. Please take a break first!"
"Those residual toxins are not urgent. I already feel much better."
"If you were to collapse from exhaustion trying to cure me, this old man would be greatly to blame!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan's hesitation, Daoist Wan Huo quickly chimed in to persuade him.
"Alright then, I'll rest for a while!"
"This way, when I use the acupuncture needles later, I can avoid any residual toxins due to fatigue!"
Hearing the words of the two old Daoists, Zhou Xuan, who had initially intended to complete the detoxification in one go, no longer insisted.
He directly chose a cool spot on the floor and sat down.
"Heh heh, little friend has done us a great service!"
"If we only offer our thanks verbally, it would be rather ungracious!"
"How about this!"
"Qingxuan, take little friend Zhou Xuan to the Heavenly Treasure Hall!"
"If there's anything he fancies, tell him to take it without hesitation!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan's unpretentious demeanor, the smile in Daoist Tai Xuan's eyes grew even more pronounced.
He instructed Lin Qingxuan, who had followed Zhou Xuan into the hall but had remained silent, to go ahead.
"Yes, Father!"
Upon hearing Daoist Tai Xuan's words, Lin Qingxuan responded obediently without any hesitation.
"Father?"
"So this little girl is actually the daughter of the Sect Master of the Lingyun Immortal Sect!"
"No wonder Old Man Wang and the others treated her so well earlier!"
"But what is this Heavenly Treasure Hall?"
"Could it be the place where the Lingyun Immortal Sect stores its treasures?"
"Hey, what are you spacing out for!"
"Let's go!"
While Zhou Xuan was still marveling at the little girl's identity in his heart,
she waved her delicate little hand in front of Zhou Xuan.
Seeing Zhou Xuan snap back to attention, the little girl no longer paid him any mind.
She turned and walked out of the main hall by herself!
