Four Seas Cloud Moon

Ji Zeming said solemnly, "Unless His Majesty personally helps you refine the evil spirit within you, there is no other way." However, due to the inherent and insurmountable distance between the two of them, coupled with his own arrogant personality, he was too embarrassed to ask Lu Xiaotian for help. Furthermore, his aloof nature meant he had few friends. In comparison, Ji Zeming was far superior, and Feng Ziying sincerely admired him, so he sought his help.

You know, the dark Daoist sutra that Ji Zeming cultivates possesses unique techniques that allow him to easily absorb the evil energy within Feng Ziying, a technique that would greatly benefit him. More importantly, after observing him, Ji Zeming was pleasantly surprised to find that the evil energy no longer repelled Feng Ziying as strongly as before. If he were to personally help Feng Ziying refine this evil energy, the benefits he would reap would be exponentially greater!

However, Feng Ziying was extremely anxious at the moment, and only wanted to send troops as soon as possible, not wanting to cause any more trouble. Seeing this, Ji Zeming made a quick decision and said, "Come with me!"

Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where are we going?"

Ji Zeming answered without hesitation: "Go to the palace and meet His Majesty!"

So, the two of them hurried towards the palace, one in front and one behind. When the passersby saw that it was Ji Zeming coming, they all gave way, and naturally no one dared to stop them.

Soon, Ji Zeming and Feng Ziying arrived at the palace. After hearing this, Lu Xiaotian learned the details and then said solemnly, "If you can successfully absorb this evil energy, it will undoubtedly be a huge leap in your strength. However, if you can't persevere, not only will all your efforts be wasted, but your cultivation will likely stagnate, and you may even fall back to a lower realm."

Feng Ziying said with a determined face, "I only wish to follow Your Majesty for the rest of my life, serving him at his side, even at his beck and call, even if it means sacrificing my life for him. Unfortunately, however, my talent is indeed not as outstanding as Master Ji Zeming's, and I'm afraid the gap between us will only grow. But now that I have this rare opportunity, how could I let it slip away? Even if the road ahead is difficult and thorny, I will forge ahead courageously and never retreat!"

Hearing Feng Ziying's passionate words, Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but show admiration. He stared at Feng Ziying and said slowly: "In this case, I will start to input my own true energy into your body. During this process, you need to slowly remove the defenses around your body, and remember not to act too hastily. When your defenses are gone, I will lead the evil energy along your eight extraordinary meridians and finally reach your dantian. It's just that..." At this point, Lu Xiaotian paused for a moment, his expression became serious, and then he said: "In this way, your meridians You will suffer severe damage, even your dantian might be destroyed by the evil energy. But don't panic. Once the evil energy gathers in your dantian, I will fully refine it. Meanwhile, you must use the evil energy I refine to rebuild your dantian and meridians. This process will be extremely painful, like a thousand ants gnawing at your heart, so you must be fully prepared! Of course, if you're afraid now and want to give up, it's not too late. You'll have plenty of time to choose other paths later."

After saying this, Feng Ziying showed no sign of hesitation and immediately sat cross-legged on the floor of the imperial study, eyes closed, hands hanging naturally on his knees, and his whole body instantly entered a state of tranquility. Clearly, he had demonstrated his unwavering determination to Lu Xiaotian with his actions!

Ji Zeming slowly walked to the door, his expression focused as he prepared to protect the two people inside. Inside the room, Lu Xiaotian sat upright behind Feng Ziying, his hands gently resting on his back. He held his breath and concentrated, beginning to dissolve the stubborn evil spirit within him.

At first, Feng Ziying didn't notice anything unusual. However, as soon as the evil energy entered his meridians, it surged like a bone-chilling cold wave, instantly freezing all the meridians in his body. Then, as if possessed of life, the cold energy slowly and gradually eroded his meridians. For the usually strong-willed Feng Ziying, this feeling was simply unbearable, and he almost screamed.

Feng Ziying's body gradually became incredibly stiff. He was now completely unable to move, only able to endure the excruciating pain that intensified. As time passed, the pain grew more intense, like a thousand poisonous insects gnawing at his bones, or countless sharp blades slicing through his flesh. Just when Feng Ziying felt he was about to pass out from the endless agony, the horrifying pain suddenly, miraculously, vanished.

But this was only a temporary calm. It turned out that the evil spirits hadn't truly dissipated. Instead, under Lu Xiaotian's guidance, they had all retreated back into his dantian. But at that moment, even more intense pain suddenly struck. Feng Ziying could no longer suppress the fear and pain in his heart, and a scream of "Ah!" resounded throughout the room.

"Don't move, hold on!" At this critical moment, Feng Ziying suddenly heard an anxious and extremely determined cry in his ears. The voice was like a thunder that split the sky and went straight into his ears.

Feng Ziying was shocked when he heard the sound, and his already blurred consciousness instantly became a little clearer.

After hearing Lu Xiaotian's words, Feng Ziying took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and used all his strength to try to steady his shaky body. However, at this moment, he felt only excruciating pain all over his body. It felt like thousands of sharp knives were mercilessly cutting every inch of his skin and every bone, making him feel excruciating pain.

But even so, Feng Ziying showed no sign of retreat. He knew that if he gave up resistance now, all his previous efforts would be wasted. So, he endured the excruciating pain and desperately mobilized the last bit of spiritual energy in his body, tightly protecting his heart meridians and sea of ​​consciousness, preventing the surging evil spirit from taking advantage.

Time passed by minute by minute in pain and suffering. Feng Ziying's clothes were already soaked with sweat, which kept sliding down his paper-pale cheeks and dripping onto the ground, wetting a large area. Despite this, he still persisted!
