In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Elder Mu stroked his long beard and said quickly, "First, we must remove these malevolent bone spurs."

However, the moment it is pulled out, the resentful energy will completely erupt and counterattack. Only the most yang and strong or pure and righteous power can suppress and dissipate most of the erupting resentment in an instant, protecting her vital organs.

Secondly, after removing the bone spurs, the "Millennial Earth Core Jade Marrow" should be used as the main ingredient, along with other spiritual herbs such as "Three Yang Grass" and "Pure Heart Jade Lotus Seed," to refine the "Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill," which will repair the physical damage and replenish the absorbed foundational energy.

Third, and most difficult, even if the first two steps are successful, one's soul may have been corrupted by resentment and evil spirits.

It is necessary to have treasures or methods to calm the mind and cleanse the soul, so as to stabilize the spirit and remove residual malevolence.

Otherwise, even if the physical body recovers, the mind may be impaired, or the personality may change drastically.

With each word Elder Mu spoke, Su Han's heart sank a little further.

Is it the power of ultimate yang and strength, or the power of pure and boundless righteousness?

Millennia-old chalcedony from the Earth's core?

What treasures or methods can soothe the soul and calm the mind?

Each one is extremely rare.

“The power of utmost yang and yang…” Lu Xueqi suddenly spoke, her voice clear and melodious.

"The divine lightning summoned by my Qingyun Sect's 'Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique' is the ultimate in yang and yang power. Is that acceptable?"

Elder Mu's eyes lit up: "Nine Heavens Thunder Force? Of course! And the effect is excellent!"

However, performing this technique requires invoking celestial phenomena, which consumes a great deal of energy, and also requires extremely precise control.

The moment the bone spur was pulled out, the power of lightning pierced through her body, dispelling the resentment, yet without harming the girl herself. This…”

"I can." Lu Xueqi's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable confidence.
"But I need a senior with profound cultivation to protect Biyao's meridians with his magic power when I summon the lightning, and to guide the power of the lightning to concentrate on the place of resentment."

“Very well! The ‘Hou Tu True Technique’ that I have cultivated is profound and enduring, and it is most adept at protection and guidance. I can do my best to accomplish this task.”

Elder Mu nodded, then frowned again, "But the 'Millennial Earth Core Jade Marrow' and the Soul-Soothing Treasure..."

Of these two, the Earth Core Jadeite in my Zhenyue Pagoda's collection still has a small stockpile. Although it is not yet a thousand years old, it should be usable even if it is several hundred years old, although its medicinal efficacy will be reduced.

As for treasures for calming the mind and soothing the spirit…

Although our sect possesses several soul-suppressing artifacts, we are likely insufficient to deal with such deep-seated vengeful influence on the soul.

Su Han took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down from the chaos and anxiety.

Millennia-old nephrite from the earth's core... he didn't have it.

But a treasure for calming the mind and soothing the spirit…

He suddenly remembered something.

He reached out and touched the storage ring, and a warm, white light appeared in his palm.

It was a bead the size of a pigeon egg, milky white in color, with what appeared to be flowing clouds inside, radiating a gentle aura that calmed the mind.

"The Soul-Stabilizing Pearl?!" Elder Mu and Shi Yue exclaimed almost simultaneously, their eyes filled with surprise.

"This item... is it usable?"

Su Han held the treasure he had obtained from an ancient cultivation cave tightly. He had only thought it could calm his mind and aid in cultivation, never expecting it to come in so useful today.

"It works! It works incredibly well!"

Elder Mu's face lit up with joy. "The Soul-Stabilizing Pearl is a rare treasure that nourishes and stabilizes the soul. It has a remarkable effect on expelling evil spirits and calming the soul!"

With this item, the chances of success in the third step will greatly increase!

However…Young friend Su, this item is extremely precious, you…”

"As long as Biyao can be saved, what are worldly possessions worth?"

Su Han interrupted Elder Mu without hesitation and placed the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl beside Bi Yao's pillow.

The soft white light emanating from the beads seemed to ease Biyao's brows slightly. Elder Mu gave Su Han a deep look and nodded: "In that case, there's no time to lose."

Shi Yue, go to the storeroom immediately and retrieve that box of 'Three Hundred Years of Earth Core Jade Marrow,' as well as 'Three Yang Grass,' 'Pure Heart Jade Lotus Seeds'... Here's the list, go and come back quickly!

Furthermore, please open the 'Earth Fire Pill Chamber', Sect Leader! I need to start refining pills immediately!

"Yes, Elder!" Shi Yue took the jade slip, turned around, and ran away.

"Fairy Lu, please take a moment to adjust your breathing and get into the best condition."

"Pulling out the thorns to attract lightning allows no room for error," Elder Mu said to Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, walked to the side, sat down cross-legged, and closed her eyes to concentrate.

The Heavenly Sword rested across his lap, with faint, subtle crackling of lightning.

"Young friend Su, you..." Elder Mu looked at Su Han.

“I’ll stay here and watch over her.” Su Han’s gaze never left Bi Yao’s face, his voice low but firm. “If you need me to do anything, Elder, please give the order.”

Elder Mu sighed: "Very well. Then you should first use your own true essence to slowly transfer into her body, and with the help of the Soul-Soothing Jade Bed, try your best to stabilize her condition and slow down the loss of her life force."

Remember, be gentle and never clash with that malevolent energy, lest you provoke it to erupt.

"clear."

Su Han sat down beside the jade bed, gently took Bi Yao's cold hand, and transformed the pure Chaos True Essence into the gentlest and longest trickle, slowly flowing into Bi Yao's meridians.

The primordial chaos essence encompasses all things and is of a neutral and peaceful nature. Although it is not good at exorcising evil, it is excellent for nurturing and stabilizing.

Under the combined effects of Su Han's true essence and the Soul-Soothing Jade Bed, Bi Yao's breathing seemed to stabilize a bit, but her face was still as pale as snow, and the hideous bone spur was still shocking to behold.

Time slowly slipped away amidst the torment.

Every breath felt like an eternity.

Su Han's heart felt as if it were being slowly roasted over a low flame.

He recalled his first meeting with Biyao, her mischievous smile, her repeated calls of "Brother Su," and how she risked everything to shield him from danger...

Regret, like a venomous snake, gnawed at his heart.

If he were stronger…

If he had been more cautious…

if…

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yue returned, covered in sweat, carrying a jade box and several jade bottles.

"Elder, the item has been retrieved! The Sect Leader has opened the Earth Fire Pill Chamber, and several of our senior uncles, upon hearing this, are also willing to come and help you control the fire!"

"Good!" Elder Mu took the materials and quickly inspected them, especially the chalcedony in the jade box that emitted a warm, earthy yellow glow and flowed slowly as if it were alive. He nodded.

"Fairy Lu, young friend Su, are you ready?"

We need to remove the bone spurs first. Fairy Lu used divine lightning to dispel the erupting resentment, and I protected Miss Biyao's meridians.

"Afterwards, I must immediately begin refining the elixir. Until the elixir is complete, I must use the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl and your true essence to continue stabilizing her condition."

Lu Xueqi opened her eyes, a flash of lightning disappearing in them, and stood up, nodding: "Anytime is fine."

Su Han took a deep breath and released Bi Yao's hand, but her gaze remained firmly fixed on her: "Let's begin."

Elder Mu's expression was solemn. He first used several golden needles to pierce several vital acupoints of Biyao, temporarily sealing her pain sensation and blood flow.

Then, he placed his hands lightly on the vicinity of Biyao's injury, and a thick, earthy-yellow true essence emanated from it, forming a stable protective force field that layeredly protected Biyao's vital parts such as her heart meridian and dantian.

"Fairy Lu, heed my command. I will count to three, and then I will use my true essence to envelop the bone spur and pull it out at a steady pace." (End of Chapter)
