Li Xiangyi's heart sank. He knew that he had to use his internal energy to suppress the poison as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

He endured the severe pain, sat up cross-legged, and carefully placed Qiao Wanchan aside.

He closed his eyes and began to circulate his internal energy, trying to force the toxins out of his body.

"Puff!" Li Xiangyi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the beach in front of him red.

"No... I can't give up..." Li Xiangyi's eyes were firm. He couldn't fall down. He still had to protect Qiao Wanwan and take her away from here.

He took a deep breath and began to practice again. This time, he no longer tried to force the poison out of his body, but instead guided it into his meridians, temporarily suppressing its attack.

As time passed, Li Xiangyi felt as if he were caught between two extremes: cold as an ice cellar, then hot as a furnace. His consciousness began to blur, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Qiao Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was Li Xiangyi's handsome but slightly haggard face.

He was sitting cross-legged not far away, his eyes closed, with a faint white mist swirling around him. It was obvious that he was practicing qigong to heal his injuries.

Qiao Wanwan felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she was being pricked by countless tiny needles.

She did so much, planned for so long, and even changed the original plot trajectory, but in the end she failed to prevent Li Xiangyi from being poisoned.

She felt a little annoyed and even blamed herself.

Was he really that useless? Even with the system's help and a clear understanding of the plot's development, he still had to watch helplessly as he walked towards his predetermined fate.

At this moment, Li Xiangyi was so fragile that it made people feel distressed. His originally high-spirited appearance was now stained with a lingering haze.

Qiao Wanwan even had an impulse to give up everything for him, even the chance of immortality.

Li Xiangyi finally completed his exercise and slowly opened his eyes. He turned around and saw Qiao Wanwan, who had already woken up, with a look of worry in her eyes.

He walked over quickly and asked nervously, "Sister, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Qiao Wanwan looked at his concerned eyes, her heart warmed, and she quickly comforted him, "I'm fine, you're the one who's in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangyi's eyes darkened instantly, as if shrouded in a shadow.

He lowered his head, his voice low and self-blaming: "Sister, do you think I am very stupid and naive? I, Li Xiangyi, have been smart all my life, but in the end, I fell into the hands of my own people and even harmed my senior brother..."

Seeing him like this, Qiao Wanwan felt heartbroken. She stepped forward and gently embraced him without saying a word. She knew that Li Xiangyi had to overcome this hurdle on his own; no one else's advice would be of any use.

After a long time, Li Xiangyi's emotions gradually calmed down. He raised his head, his eyes regaining a trace of clarity. He looked at Qiao Wanwan and said seriously, "Let's go back to Sigumen first, okay? Don't worry, I will definitely detoxify you."

However, when they returned to Sigumen, the scene before them completely chilled Li Xiangyi's heart. Sigumen had lost its former glory and was in disarray, with people's hearts scattered. People around them were gossiping, some even verbally abusing and accusing Li Xiangyi of all sorts of wrongdoings.

"Bah! You're still the leader of the Sigu Sect? I think you're more like a lost dog!"

"What's 'Xiang Yi Tai Jian'? I think it means 'Xiang Yi Tai Shi'! He can't even protect his own people, and he even killed Hero Shan. He is simply a scum of the martial arts world!"

"He was so powerful back then, but now he's been poisoned like a dead dog? I think this is the end of his life. He might as well just die early!"

"I was so blind back then that I actually worshipped this kind of rubbish! Now that I think about it, it's so disgusting. He's not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

Listening to these harsh voices, Li Xiangyi began to doubt whether what he had been insisting on was correct.

He felt like a joke, all his efforts had been wasted. A deep sense of powerlessness washed over him, and he stood there in a daze. Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he turned and walked outside.

Seeing this, Qiao Wanwan hurriedly followed him and grabbed him: "Xiangyi, where are you going?"

Li Xiangyi did not answer, but just walked forward mechanically, like a body without a soul.

Suddenly, Li Xiangyi's body trembled, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell straight down.

"Xiang Yi!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed, and hurriedly supported him. She found that Li Xiang Yi's face was as pale as paper, and his breath was weak, obviously the poison had taken effect.

Qiao Wanwan didn't dare to delay and quickly took him to her secret courtyard. Here, the environment was quiet and away from the hustle and bustle, which was where she usually relaxed her body and mind.

After settling Li Xiangyi down, Qiao Wanwan began to find a way to detoxify him.

In the past half month, she has tried almost every method she could think of, even using the spiritual spring water, fitness pills, and detoxification pills produced by the system, but they can only temporarily relieve the toxicity, but cannot completely eradicate the poison of the green tea.

"System, do you have any way to detoxify the green tea?" Qiao Wanwan asked anxiously in her heart.

"Host, the poison of green tea is a strange poison. Under the current conditions, it is very difficult to completely eliminate it." The mechanical voice of the system sounded in Qiao Wanwan's mind.

Qiao Wanchan's heart sank to the bottom. Is there really no way out? She was unwilling to accept this. She absolutely could not watch Li Xiangyi die like this!

Qiao Wanwan was extremely anxious, and asked anxiously in her heart: "System, aren't you very powerful? Is there really no way out? Think of a solution quickly!"

The system's mechanical voice echoed in her mind, devoid of emotion: "Host, the poison of the green tea is a unique poison in this world. It must be detoxified according to the rules of this world. This is the rule, and it cannot be violated."

Qiao Wanwan frowned, unwilling to accept the situation, yet helpless. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she hurriedly asked, "Mengmeng, is there any way to transfer the green tea poison from Xiangyi to me?"

"Yes, Lingxi Du'e requires 50 points. Host, are you sure you want to redeem it?" The system continued in its businesslike tone. "I need to remind you that the Green Tea poison is extremely powerful. If it transfers to you, you will suffer the same ten-year torment from it as Li Xiangyi in the plot."

Qiao Wanwan thought about it, looking at Li Xiangyi who was still frowning in coma, thinking of his increasingly thin face in the past half month, thinking of his eyes that were still gentle despite enduring pain, her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a big hand, and the pain made her almost unable to breathe.

We can't let him suffer like this anymore!

"Exchange it!" Qiao Wanwan's voice was firm, without any hesitation.

"Okay, host, I have successfully redeemed Lingxi Du'e for you. 50 points have been deducted, and the remaining points are 110."

As soon as the system finished speaking, a secret book emitting a faint glow appeared in Qiao Wanwan's hands. She gently tapped the secret book, and it transformed into a stream of light and merged into her mind. All kinds of information about Lingxi Du'e instantly emerged, clear and unparalleled.
