"..."

Chen Sanshi then realized what was happening, put away the Shangqing Sword, and left the pool.

Just now……

The eldest sister is using a jade pendant to heal the second sister's injuries.

There's also a formation by the pool, which looks like it's for healing purposes.

Is there a healing formation readily available? Is Second Senior Sister always getting injured?

"Junior brother."

After the frost and mist subsided, Jiang Qiongsu's voice rang out again: "If I remember correctly, you cultivate fire magic? Come back now."

Chen Sanshi returned to the edge of the pool, and after passing through the frost and mist, he saw the blind woman already soaking in the pool.

The pool water, which had been boiling, suddenly cooled completely, as if winter had arrived and the surface was frozen solid.

The blind woman was frozen in the center of the ice, her fair and slender neck covered with a thin layer of frost, like an ice sculpture.

Chen Sanshi asked, "What does Senior Sister need me to do?"

Jiang Qiongsu's face was noticeably paler than before. She stopped what she was doing, tossed the jade pendant into the other person's hand, and said, "I will teach you the technique to activate the fire magic within your body to heal Xiyue."

"it is good."

Chen Sanshi did as instructed.

He activated the Heaven-Burning Fire, transmitting it through the Bagua array seal on the jade pendant to the center of the pool, where it transformed into specks of spiritual light that landed on the surface of the blind woman's body.

At the same time, the surrounding formations activated again, resonating with the red lotus karmic fire at the bottom of the pool.

With the combined effect, the "ice sculpture" at the core of the pool began to melt at a visible rate.

"Heaven-Burning Fire?"

Jiang Qiongsu recognized the flames and asked, "I heard from my master that you are a practitioner of both immortal and martial arts. This Heaven-Burning Flame is a fire of martial arts true power, so you must also be proficient in another kind of flame?"

"There is more than one."

Chen Sanshi formed hand seals, and the flames he unleashed transformed into the Fiery Beasts, followed by the Netherworld Fire.

He soon discovered that alternating between different fire spells seemed to accelerate the melting of the frost.

Within the ice sculpture, the crimson light within the unconscious blind woman's body grew increasingly dim under the suppression of the flames.

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise appeared on Jiang Qiongsu's weak face.

The entire healing process lasted for about half an incense stick's time.

It wasn't until Chen Sanshi had exhausted most of his magical power that all the ice and snow completely melted, and the area around the pool returned to its previous state.

The blind woman lay peacefully and silently in the water.

"Okay."

Jiang Qiongsu stopped the other party and led him away from the edge of the pool: "Thank you for your help, Junior Brother. You managed to stabilize Xiyue's condition in time."

"Second Senior Sister, she..."

Chen Sanshi asked, "Why is this happening?"

"Your second senior sister has a strange illness that she was born with. Whenever it flares up, it can only be suppressed by using fire magic through the jade pendant."

Jiang Qiongsu looked at the jade pendant and explained, "This jade pendant was originally a pair, and it can resonate with the other half to help suppress the illness. Before you came, I specially made a substitute."

As she spoke, she took out a cracked and dull replica.

"Born with it?"

Chen Sanshi had heard before that some people are born into special circumstances and are exposed to things that are either good or bad.

"This matter will affect the sect's assessment of disciples' aptitude, thereby affecting resources."

Jiang Qiongsu reminded him, "Therefore, I urge you, junior brother, to keep your mouth shut."

"Junior brother knows."

Chen Sanshi pondered.

Could this illness be what Xue Xianrong and the others referred to as falling into demonic ways last time?

He took this opportunity to tell them what he had seen and heard in person.

After hearing this, Jiang Qiongsu did not seem surprised or angry. She simply said, "Thank you for reminding me, Junior Brother. I understand. I will report to Master later and discuss how to deal with it."

"You will be traveling to Dragon Elephant City by flying boat with the disciples of the sect early tomorrow morning. You have already exerted yourself quite a bit today, so you should get some rest."

With the reminder delivered, Chen Sanshi was finally relieved of a worry.

He returned to his cave and, for the first time ever, did not cultivate. Instead, he lay down on the stone bed and took a nap.

The next day at dawn.

Upon receiving the order, all disciples gathered early on the path leading to Feilai Peak.

The Qingxu Sect has a total of 49 peaks, of which 8 peaks are the training grounds for inner disciples. Only in the inner training grounds will there be a Golden Core elder in charge.

At the request of the Holy Sect, each of the eight inner peaks must produce two Foundation Establishment cultivators, for a total of sixteen Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Then, we need to add three thousand people in the early stage of Qi Refining, two thousand in the middle stage, and one thousand in the late stage, for a total of more than six thousand people.

The gathering of so many cultivators was truly a massive event.

After everyone arrived, the current sect leader of Qingxu Sect, who was also the senior uncle of the Supreme Elder, Master Xuancheng, came to give a speech.

Xuancheng Daoist appeared to be an elderly man with white hair and beard, but he had a youthful face, ruddy complexion, and a strong voice. He rode a jade lion and looked like a celestial being.

As for the content of his speech, it was nothing more than the old-fashioned phrases like "slaying demons and upholding justice".

Finally, the person in charge of leading this group of cultivators was Elder Xue Jingfeng of Liuyun Peak.

The entire preparation process was not long; around noon, the first batch of cultivators set off.

Huge flying ships rose slowly above the Qingxu Sect and then flew westward.

There is also a faster medium-sized airship, specifically designed to transport Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As for Elder Xue Jingfeng, he transformed into a wisp of light and left ahead of time.

These sixteen Foundation Establishment cultivators, including those from Hundred Flowers Valley where Chen Sanshi was located, totaled twelve men and four women, ranging in age and status.

For missions like those to the border, which could be extremely dangerous and could lead to certain deaths, some elders at the peaks, who are very protective of their own disciples, are reluctant to send their true disciples. Therefore, they prefer to send disciples who have reached the end of their cultivation path and have no hope of breaking through.

Of course, some elders believe that disciples should not be overprotected and should experience trials and tribulations in order to grow.

These two types of people each make up half of the team.

In the final preparation stage, Chen Sanshi did not see anyone from Hundred Flowers Valley.

He didn't see his two senior sisters until the cultivator in charge of piloting the flying boat urged him on.

The blind woman had regained her former radiance. Dressed in black as ink, her lotus-like face was covered with frost, and her every move exuded a chilling aura.

Without saying hello, she rode her sword straight onto the flying boat.

Chen Sanshi asked, "Should Second Senior Sister come with me?"

In his opinion, since he knew that someone wanted to harm his second senior sister, the best way was to send someone else instead.

He hadn't even asked yet, but he could roughly guess the reason.

Jiang Qiongsu's complexion was extremely poor, and her breathing was unsteady. Going to the border in this state would be tantamount to suicide.

"Originally, I planned to go in place of Xiyue, but I couldn't persuade her otherwise, and my master also disagreed."
