A useless person with five spiritual roots? I sacrificed the proud daughter of heaven.

Seeing this, Mu Yao swayed, tears streaming down her face: "My Gu King is dead. I can't save Xiao He. It's all my fault. I fed her the pills myself. I killed Xiao He."

Mu Yao buried her face in Yun Qianshan's shoulder and burst into tears. Yun Qianshan looked at Sheng He, whose face was flushed and who was delirious, and was at a loss for what to do.

What should they do now? They can't leave the secret realm before the time is up, and they can't find anyone who can cure the curse in a short time. Are they just supposed to watch Xiao He die in front of them?

As Yun Qianshan was pondering a solution, a long, slender hand with distinct knuckles suddenly reached out in front of him.

"Senior Sister Yun, perhaps I have a way. Could you lend me a high-grade spirit stone?"

Yun Qianshan looked up, but his eyes widened the moment he saw Song Jinzhi: "You...you..."

Song Jinzhi was covered in sweat and his face was pale. His white robe was stained with blood, and the chaotic lines intersected and overlapped, vaguely recognizable as an array.

The blood of a formation cultivator consumes the most vital energy, yet he actually used his blood to draw a formation!

Song Jinzhi still had a gentle smile on his face. He pointed to a faint golden light in the upper right corner of his white robe and said, "This is Fairy Sheng's life gate, but my spiritual power is not enough to calculate where Fairy Sheng's life gate is. So I would like to trouble Senior Sister Yun to lend me a high-grade spirit stone."

"Don't worry, senior sister. I am Song Jinzhi, the only son of the Song family in Jinzhou. Once we leave the secret realm, I will definitely return the borrowed spirit stones double."

"Here you go! You can have as many spirit stones as you want, and you don't need to pay me back. As long as you can save Xiao He, the Qingyun Sect will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Mu Yao suddenly raised her head, her face still wet with tears, and dumped all the spirit stones from her storage bag in front of Song Jinzhi.

"No need, I only need one."

Song Jinzhi lightly twirled her fingers and picked up a high-grade spirit stone from the mountain of spirit stones, holding it in her palm.

A continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed from the spirit stone, passing through the bloodstains on the white robe and converging into the array. The bloodstains on the white robe slowly disappeared, and strands of golden light shone from the robe, flashing brightly before gradually dimming.

Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan had been keeping a close eye on Song Jinzhi. Upon seeing this, they immediately asked, "How is it? Where is the gate of life?"

Song Jinzhi wiped the blood from his lips and breathed a slight sigh of relief. He reached out and took the small white flower hairpin from Sheng He's temple.

The three little radish heads dared not move, for fear of accidentally revealing their identities.

Yun Qianshan looked at the three hairpins in confusion: "Is this Xiao He's life gate?"

Song Jinzhi did not answer. He picked up a broken blade of grass from the ground and gently touched the top of the hairpin.

"Why haven't you shown your true form yet?"

As soon as Song Jinzhi finished speaking, several long leaves suddenly sprouted from one of the hairpins, and the next moment, tiny arms and feet grew from the hairpin.

Song Jinzhi was not in a hurry, and continued to gently sweep the broken grass onto the hairpin.

Before long, the three little radish heads revealed their true forms.

"mean!"

The three little radish heads cursed inwardly, but their bodies honestly hugged each other.

"Azure Grass? No wonder, you were the ones who saved Fairy Sheng last time, weren't you?"

Song Jinzhi plucked the leaves from one of the little radish heads, and the little radish head kept flapping its legs in the air.

"Despicable! Despicable! You are all despicable monks!"

It kept shouting loudly, but unfortunately, the monks seemed unable to understand its language.

Yun Qianshan and Mu Yao exchanged a glance. Azure Grass? Both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Song Jinzhi smiled gently as he thoroughly examined the Azure Grass in his hand. These Azure Grasses had actually developed sentience, which was quite rare.

However, the places on the Azure Grass that should have been covered with petals were now bare. Presumably, the fact that Fairy Sheng was able to remain unharmed after being poisoned last time was also thanks to these petals.

The petals of the Azure Grass are the purest, capable of suppressing all evil.

Most importantly, the roots, stems, and leaves of the Azure Grass are extremely poisonous; even a powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage would be powerless to save themselves from this poison.

The only antidote is the petals of the Biluo grass.

Thinking of this, Song Jinzhi unceremoniously plucked a leaf from the Biluo grass. Fearing that the poison was not enough, he also tore off a section of the Biluo grass's root.

"Ah! My feet!"

"Despicable monk!"

Little Radish Head covered his injured root and used his uninjured hands to beat Song Jinzhi hard.

Song Jinzhi: Not at all concerned.

After crushing the leaves and roots of the Biluo grass to extract the juice, Song Jinzhi carefully fed this drop of highly poisonous juice into Sheng He's mouth.

Soon, the flush on Sheng He's face gradually faded, and Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan breathed a sigh of relief. But then they saw Sheng He's face slowly turn purple again, and her body twisted in pain.

"Hold her hands and legs down, don't let her hurt herself!"

Song Jinzhi shouted and quickly pressed down on Sheng He's legs. Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan also hurriedly held down Sheng He's hands and stabilized her shoulders.

"Ugh!"

Sheng He screamed in agony, but her body was firmly held down by the Spirit Binding Rope and Song Jinzhi and the others. Her eyes were bloodshot as she tried to break free of the restraints.

Suddenly, she coughed up a mouthful of black blood and fainted.

Mu Yao and Yun Qianshan rushed to check on Sheng He's condition, but Song Jinzhi frowned, staring intently at the pool of black blood on the ground.

Something seemed to be wriggling in the center of the black blood.

With the toxicity of the Azure Grass, it only managed to force out the Gu worm of the Heartless Gu, but could not completely kill it.

"Caw!" A screeching sound came from the sky. Mu Yao looked up and saw a small bird with a bright red body flying overhead.

Sheng He, who had just calmed down, became restless again. Song Jinzhi stared at the black thing, watching it get closer and closer to Sheng He.

Just before approaching Shenghe, Song Jinzhi picked up a stone and smashed it to pieces.

"what!"

The system, far away at the Spirit Spring Waterfall, let out a scream. The intense pain nearly made it unable to continue operating. It stared in disbelief at the last images transmitted by the Gu worm.

That's... Song Jinzhi!

It was Song Jinzhi who killed its Gu worms!

"System, what's wrong? What happened?"

Zhao Yanran quickly asked.

The system was panting heavily. A few months ago, when Sheng He almost killed Zhao Yanran, the delay was not due to insufficient energy.

Instead, he immediately exchanged the points for the Heart-Severing Gu and secretly administered it to Sheng He.

It had long known that as long as Sheng He was there, Zhao Yanran would never be able to complete the mission, so it spent a lot of points to find a red-feathered bird.

It's only because Zhao Yanran is stupid that she thought teleportation and healing would cost so many points.

There's a reason why the Heart-Severing Gu is called the number one Gu in the world. One of the biggest reasons is that once the Heart-Severing Gu is successfully cast, it is very difficult to undo.
