Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Dead, Asleep, Next to You_1

You first used the gentle breeze to lift Fan Yi into the air, then used yourself as a medium to absorb the spiritual energy around you.

At this time, Qin Bufan approached you and said respectfully, "Senior, are you intending to save this young lady?"

"Mhm," you nodded.

Qin Bufan looked at the stunning beauty with black hair dancing in the wind as she floated in mid-air, and couldn’t help feeling a sense of admiration.

However, thinking about your relationship with her, he sighed inwardly, quickly dismissing these inappropriate thoughts, and said to you respectfully, "Since Senior intends to save this young lady, I have a humble suggestion, if Senior would consider it?"

"Oh? Let’s hear it."

"Since you can manipulate the Five Elements Spell so adeptly, why not utilize the True Qi around us?"

"True Qi?" you pondered, then asked, "What is True Qi?"

"Big Brother, are you kidding me? Just now, with your impressive demeanor, you actually don’t know what True Qi is?"

You scratched the back of your head, and shamelessly smiled, "Hehe, I’m a self-taught man without the teachings of a master, how would I know these things?"

Qin Bufan and Ling Mo exchanged looks and exclaimed in unison, "Senior (Big Brother), you are self-taught!?"

"Enough chit-chat, what is this True Qi you were talking about just now?"

"Ahem, let me explain this academic question," said Wei Shuxian as he straightened his glasses that had gone askew, leisurely walked out, and smiled at everyone, "First of all, we need to understand what True Qi is. Qi is an inherent energy between heaven and earth; it’s formless, colorless, and tasteless. The ancients believed that Qi is fundamental to the universe. In the ’Baihutongyi’ written by Ban Gu during the Han Dynasty, it’s mentioned that ’Heaven and Earth are born from the original Qi, and they are the ancestors of all things.’"

Yang Kai immediately interrupted, "Glasses, could you be more specific? I don’t understand."

Wei Shuxian pushed his glasses up, smiling politely, "From a scientific perspective, the world’s substances generally exist in three states: solid, gas, and liquid, also known as elemental states. With the continuous development of modern science, people have discovered that there is a fourth state, known as the plasma state. This plasma state is what refers to one form of Qi."

Qin Bufan said to you, "Senior, I think with your Sen Luo Eye, you should be able to see something unique about this Emperor’s Lady Mulberry, right?"

You nodded, stretched out your right index finger, and wrapped a strand of the colorful dazzling light that had drifted to your face around your finger. Then, you directed this strand of light towards Qin Bufan and asked, "Is this colorful light what you’re referring to as Qi?"

"Colorful light?" Qin Bufan was stunned for a moment before suddenly gasping in shock, "Senior can see the source of True Qi!?"

You swirled another strand of the dazzling light onto your palm, "Is this what you call the source of True Qi?"

Qin Bufan appeared extremely excited, "The Sen Luo Eye, seeing through the myriad manifestations of the universe, so the legend is true! Senior, this source of True Qi is the purest substance in the world. If Senior can harness it for yourself, with your wisdom and understanding, I fear it wouldn’t take ten years for you to break through the human limitations and enter the Sanqing Realm!"

Since Qin Bufan had offered you a good suggestion, you closed your Sen Luo Eye with an attitude of giving it a try.

Your vision turned pitch black, but soon, within this darkness, white phantoms appeared, representing living beings around you, including Xiao Feng and others behind you, as well as the Emperor’s Lady Mulberry beside you. However, when you looked at Fan Yi, you found that her body was emitting a pale gray light.

Before long, the drifting colorful lights also gradually emerged. Using your own body as a medium, you absorbed these colorful lights into yourself. This time, under the control of your consciousness, you didn’t let the colorful lights flow out with your expelled breath, but instead turned your body into a refining furnace, slowly processing the source of True Qi. Then you leaned down and gently touched the tip of your nose to Fan Yi’s, and slowly transferred the refined source of True Qi into her body.

At this moment, Wu Qiyi couldn’t help but turn her head away, a fleeting sense of unnoticed melancholy flashing in her eyes.

Xi Yu watched you steadily, as if making a decision in her heart.

To you, the process seemed incredibly slow, as if a century had passed.

"Mmm..."

When you once again heard Fan Yi let out a breath, you opened your eyes. At this time, Fan Yi’s pure eyes were already open, and she blinked, smiling radiantly like the sunshine.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Fan Dongqing wanted to step forward but was held back by Yang Kai and Xiao Feng, both of whom shook their heads at her.

"Is it done?"

Fan Yi nodded, her expression returning to its usual calm.

You withdrew the wind curse, embraced Fan Yi once more, and then helped her to stand up.

"Boom!"

No sooner had Fan Yi stabilized herself than a booming sound erupted from beneath her feet; the earth suddenly trembled violently, causing Fan Yi to fall unsteadily into your arms.

"This is bad—the two female devils have discovered our enchantments!"

Qin Bufan urgently said to you, "Senior, now that this young lady has recovered, could you follow me and my junior brother to reinforce the seal? As long as you channel the True Qi source, we can surely seal them in the underground palace forever."

"No, I need to go down."

"You must not, Senior!" Qin Bufan was instantly anxious. "Senior, they are millennia-old zombies; even my teacher Master Zi Yang and Uncle Taoist Longhu might not be their match!"

"Boom!"

Another earth-shattering tremor!

You handed Fan Yi to Wu Qiyi behind you and turned to the others, "You all go down the mountain first. This has become my private matter; there’s no need for you to intervene."

Wu Qiyi looked at you with a very determined gaze, her attitude resolute, "I can’t let you do this alone. The one below is no longer Zhao’er, she is the Empress, a murderous tyrant who treats all lives as mere insects. If you go down alone, you’re headed to certain death!"

Xiao Feng came over, put an arm around your shoulder, and said with a cheerful smile, "Little Yunyun, we grew up wearing the same open-crotch pants. Although we can’t share a coffin if we die, we can still sleep in the graves next to each other."

"Exactly, if we all die, then we’ll all live together. We won’t be one short for playing landlord or mahjong anymore," Yang Kai and the others likewise showed no intention of leaving.

"You guys... Ah! Why put yourselves through this?"

"Little Yi, what are you doing?"

While they were talking, Fan Dongqing suddenly noticed Fan Yi turning around and slowly walking toward the Emperor’s Lady Mulberry.

At the same time, you were surprised to find that the dazzling colored lights around were quickly converging on Fan Yi’s body. Then, the entire Emperor’s Lady Mulberry tree seemed to move ever so slightly!

"Shhh—"

"Shhh—"

Amongst the rustling leaves, an incredibly beautiful sound was produced.

Under everyone’s gaze, Fan Yi, wrapped in the dazzling lights, slowly raised her right hand, a portion of the lights gathering in her palm. Right after that, Fan Yi slammed her hand down fiercely!

"Bang—"

Everyone felt a sudden jolt in both body and heart, and then, in an instant, everything before their eyes changed!

In that moment, you suddenly felt a burning gaze shooting from afar. Turning your head, you couldn’t help exclaiming in shock, "Zhao’er!"
