Chapter 315: Three hundred and fifteen Pure Yang Immortal Body

Jade Pot Sect, Cold Jade Hall!

After several days of recuperation, Yun Xiao’s injuries had almost completely healed. Moreover, he discovered that after this serious injury, his Meridian Qi Cultivation had subtly improved.

Although the items in the ninth layer of the Jade Pot Cave were taken by Xuan Zhi and Yan Chun, Yun Xiao knew that in such a situation, he was powerless, and it was already good that he was able to save his own life.

At this moment in the Cold Jade Hall, Yun Xiao had stopped cultivating. He was seen fiddling with a black key in his hand and seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

"Is this key really the key to unlocking that wooden box?"

Staring at the black key in his hand, Yun Xiao’s thoughts drifted far away. This key was naturally obtained from the Outer Sect’s Mysterious Artifact Hall, but until now, he had no idea what the key was supposed to be used for.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that this broken key reacted with the Blood Moon Jade, Yun Xiao would never have spent a full thousand points to exchange for such a useless key.

But when Yun Xiao was in the ninth layer of the Jade Pot Cave and saw that worn wooden box, or rather the black lock on the box, he had some conjectures—could this key be the crucial element to unlocking that box?

Or perhaps this was Yun Xiao’s last ray of hope. If the Crown Prince from the Xuanyue Imperial Family managed to open the box and obtain the items inside, it would be extremely difficult for him to reclaim them.

But if because of this key, the Crown Prince couldn’t open the wooden box, Yun Xiao’s hopes would undoubtedly increase significantly. However, at the moment, all he could do was to just think about it.

Thud, thud, thud!

Just as Yun Xiao was lost in his thoughts, someone knocked on the door of his room. When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Lu Zhan, the Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect, standing outside.

Seeing him, Yun Xiao’s heart lifted, and he asked, "Great Elder, have you found a way to retrieve that item?"

Yun Xiao knew that Lu Zhan understood what he was referring to. After coming out of the ninth layer of the Jade Pot Cave that day, didn’t the Great Elder say that he was going to discuss it with the Sect Master?

However, as soon as Yun Xiao asked, Lu Zhan shook his head, and as he saw the disappointment in Yun Xiao’s eyes, he hesitantly said, "Yun Xiao, I came to see you because of another matter. Qing’er is in trouble!"

"Qing’er? Ah... do you mean Senior Sister Mo Qing?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao was initially taken aback, then quickly reacted, his expression changing slightly as he asked in a deep voice, "Did something react with the Ice Continuation Pill?"

Hearing Yun Xiao say this, Lu Zhan’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Indeed, something happened after she took the Ice Continuation Pill, but I don’t know if it’s good or bad. Can you come with me to take a look?"

For some reason, this young man in humble clothes, who had just broken through to the Meridian Rushing Realm Late Stage a few days ago and whose Meridian Refining Technique was at most at the advanced Mortal Rank, seemed to be seeking advice like a disciple from Lu Zhan, the Great Elder of the Jade Pot Sect.

This might be because of the two Meridian Arrays during the Outer Sect’s Grand Competition, or perhaps because Yun Xiao had saved Li Shan, achieving something even the Sect Master Yu Shu had not.

Moreover, the so-called Ice Continuation Pill Recipe was given to Lu Zhan by Yun Xiao himself. After he refined it successfully according to the recipe and an incident occurred, it was only natural for him to consult Yun Xiao.

"Then let’s hurry!"

Of course, Yun Xiao would not refuse. He had a good impression of Mo Qing, that Inner Sect genius girl who had saved his life more than once. Both emotionally and rationally, he could not just ignore it.

As they left the Cold Jade Hall, Yun Xiao did not see Chi Yan, nor did he know where that little creature had gone to mess around. He did not mind it and followed Lu Zhan directly to the Medical Pulse division.

As the top talent of the Inner Sect like Mo Qing surely had her own private residence. However, compared to the residences of people like Bi Luo and Yin Huan, Mo Qing’s was undoubtedly much simpler and more elegant.

"Hmm?"

But just as Yun Xiao stepped into the courtyard, a strong blast of scorching heat hit him, causing his face to change color again and his steps to quicken.

Originally, Yun Xiao was very confident about the Ice Continuation Pill, a Middle-Level Spiritual Rank elixir from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, which had excellent effects against any fire poison backlash caused by Cultivation Techniques.

Previously, Yun Xiao thought that Mo Qing was only suffering from fire poison backlash because she was cultivating a technique from the Hidden Dragon Continent, forcing her to soak in the hot springs of Yurong Mountain every month to relieve it.

But now, sensing this intense scorching energy, he knew he had underestimated the situation. Nothing is absolute, and the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud’s elixir might not be effective for all ailments on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Creak!

Yun Xiao pushed the door open and entered. The room was filled with a thick Fire Attribute aura. Seeing him swiftly approach the bed, he looked at Mo Qing, who used to be as cold as ice, now with a face as flushed red as Li Shan’s had been, which deepened his astonishment even more.

After a moment of contemplation, Yun Xiao suddenly reached out and placed his hand on Mo Qing’s forehead. His touch felt as hot as if he had touched a piece of burning coal, indicating that the Fire Poison inside Mo Qing had fully erupted.

"Great Elder, is this really the result of her taking the Ice Continuation Pill?"

Yun Xiao’s expression turned somewhat awkward. Though he had asked this question, he knew that Lu Zhan would never deceive him. If this were true, then it was his own oversight.

As Yun Xiao saw Lu Zhan nod slightly, a deeper sense of guilt emerged within him. He realized he had been too simplistic in viewing the matter, or perhaps too trusting in his past life experience with the Meridian Refining Technique.

Initially, he hastily determined that Mo Qing’s suffering from Fire Poison was due to a backlash of her Cultivation Technique, and using the Ice Continuation Pill to counteract it seemed the right cure. Yet, unexpectedly, it only worsened her condition.

Previously, Mo Qing only suffered from Fire Poison outbreaks a few days each month, and she could alleviate it by soaking in the hot springs at Yurong Mountain.

But now, the Ice Continuation Pill, with its Extreme Cold Attribute, had stimulated the Fire Poison in Mo Qing’s body, exacerbating it to an unbearable degree, causing her to fall into a coma.

Or it could be said that while the Ice Continuation Pill was effective, it was still insufficient to counteract the Fire Poison within Mo Qing, proving that perhaps the Intermediate Spiritual Rank Ice Continuation Pill was not able to resolve this type of poison.

It was as if there had originally been an Evil Demon lurking within Mo Qing, which would sporadically wreak havoc in her body. However, provoked by the Ice Continuation Pill, it fully unleashed itself.

"Great Elder, don’t worry, I oversimplified the situation. I will certainly restore sister Mo Qing to her original state!"

Yun Xiao was not a person who would refuse to admit his mistakes. After understanding the whole situation clearly, he turned around, bowed deeply to Lu Zhan, his tone also carrying a hint of apology.

"Don’t blame yourself, I know you meant well. Qing’er, I’ll leave her in your hands!"

Lu Zhan understood that Yun Xiao’s actions were not intentional, and he could faintly sense something about Mo Qing’s attitude towards Yun Xiao, or perhaps something might develop between them because of this.

After saying this, Lu Zhan seemed to think of something and left the room, leaving behind Yun Xiao and the unconscious Mo Qing, creating a somewhat odd atmosphere in the room.

However, this was not the moment to ponder on such oddities. Yun Xiao took a deep breath, and one hand was already on Mo Qing’s wrist. The next moment, a surge of Cold Attribute Energy burst out from his left hand.

This was the power of Yun Xiao’s second Ancestor Vein, activated due to the Three-legged Ice Crystal Toad. It seemed he wanted to use the power of the Cold Ice Ancestor Vein to see if he could neutralize some of the Fire Poison in Mo Qing’s body.

Boom!

No sooner had the power of Yun Xiao’s Cold Ice Ancestor Vein entered Mo Qing’s body than an extremely strong heat burst forth, forcibly knocking his fingers away.

Feeling the overwhelming power, Yun Xiao’s expression turned grim, but he vaguely guessed a piece of the puzzle, muttering, "So it’s not the Cultivation Technique that’s causing this, but her inherent physical constitution!"

It seemed from that exchange just now that the Fire Poison in Mo Qing was not caused by a Cultivation Technique, or at least her Cultivation Technique was not the primary reason.

All of this was due to Mo Qing’s inherent physical constitution. Who knows what she encountered at birth that her body naturally contained a trace of Fire Poison, which was later triggered by her practice of a Fire Attribute Technique, leading to a violent eruption.

Although he had figured out the cause, Yun Xiao could not feel happy. If it were really caused by the Cultivation Technique, he could use his past life experience to control it, needing at most a pill higher in rank than the Ice Continuation Pill.

But with this inherent Fire Poison constitution, Yun Xiao felt somewhat helpless. If it had been his past self, with his Meridian Refining Technique reaching a High-level Saint Rank, he could have easily helped Mo Qing, a pity that his current Meridian Qi Cultivation and Meridian Refining Technique were far from adequate.

"Wow, I never expected to see a ’Pure Yang Immortal Body’ on this little Hidden Dragon Continent. What an eye-opener!"

Just when Yun Xiao was at a loss, a sudden voice emerged in his mind. As he responded to this voice, he felt both shocked and delighted.

"Are you awake?"

Yun Xiao looked inwardly at the Golden Snake Worm radiating golden light throughout its body, knowing that it was this little creature that had spoken. Considering its ability, he was no longer skeptical.

"Yes, I’ve regained some strength, but I overextended last time. To fully recover, I need some more time!" After their last joint battle, the Golden Snake Worm seemed to have a much better attitude towards Yun Xiao, no longer as cold and harsh as before.

"What did you just say about ’Pure Yang Immortal Body’? I haven’t heard of it during my nine... in my past life?"
