Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The Shocked Elder Zhuang

In her mind, the Elixir Chu Feng gave her, even if it was very precious, could at most be some common ones used to enhance cultivation.

Upon opening it, she couldn’t help but shiver violently, nearly unable to stabilize the Jade Box in her hands.

She exclaimed with great excitement, "Heavens! This, this is a Golden Talisman Elixir... And it’s the life-saving Fiend Extinguishing Pill that my master found in ancient texts for me! One Fiend Extinguishing Pill is enough to dissolve more than ten years of accumulated Evil Qi in me, and it can even transform into Golden Sword Qi! There are a whole seven of them; they can definitely help me completely cure the problem of rampant Evil Qi."

"Thank goodness, the problem that has plagued me for many years can finally be resolved!"

"I believe that my cultivation can advance rapidly soon, and I might even compete for the position of True Disciple at the end-of-year competition."

Han Xiaoying had long dreamed of resolving the problem of her overwhelming Evil Qi, and now it was finally realized, truly a joyous surprise from heaven. A happy smile bloomed on her cold and icy face, a smile that had never been seen before.

For many years, this issue had caused her great trouble.

It was like a chronic disease suddenly being removed, making her feel immensely relieved. And all this was brought to her by Chu Feng.

"Right, the Fiend Extinguishing Pill is so precious and rare that even my master thought of many ways but couldn’t get one. Chu Feng is just an ordinary disciple, how did he manage to get it?"

After the ecstasy, Han Xiaoying gradually calmed down and fell into deep thought.

She found that her fiancé was becoming more and more mysterious, like deep waters. Every time, he could surprise you differently, offering huge surprises when least expected.

While Han Xiaoying was thrilled and deep in thought, Lu’er was there, stunned as if struck by lightning.

As if suddenly revived, she screamed, "Heavens, could the young master have divine foresight? Otherwise, how could he possibly have prepared in advance such a precious Fiend Extinguishing Pill to give to miss?"

Han Xiaoying was scared by Lu’er’s neurotic outburst, completely confused.

Only after asking did she understand the whole story.

Lu’er had just mentioned Han Xiaoying’s uncontrollable Evil Qi to Chu Feng, and he immediately took out the Fiend Extinguishing Pill.

Or perhaps, even if Lu’er hadn’t mentioned it, he had come specially to deliver the Elixir.

This suggests, doesn’t it, that Chu Feng was already aware of Han Xiaoying’s condition?

Han Xiaoying, being very intelligent, was reminded by Lu’er’s words of something.

Very few people knew about the Evil Qi affliction in her body.

How did Chu Feng know?

It made her think of something that happened months ago, at the Sword Cloud Royal City auction. She had approached a young mysterious Alchemist to ask for medicine.

At that time, he didn’t hesitate and unmercifully rejected her.

There wasn’t even a discussion about compensation with Han Xiaoying.

This was too illogical.

Ordinarily, no matter how skilled an Alchemist is, as long as someone seeks an Elixir and offers sufficient compensation, they would definitely agree.

At least they would seriously consider it.

"These Fiend Extinguishing Pills are so hard to come by, even my master could not obtain one no matter what he tried. Yet, Chu Feng casually brought out seven to give me."

"It’s strange, really strange! If my guess is right, that mysterious young Alchemist who appeared at the auction might very well be him."

Han Xiaoying murmured to herself, the more she pondered, the more she felt that the mysterious Alchemist back then was Chu Feng.

Due to the Jianyun Dynasty, skilled Golden Rune Alchemists are extremely rare.

Basically, she recognizes all of them.

"Next time I see him, I must ask him in person. If that mysterious Pill Master really is him... Humph, watch how I will deal with you!" Han Xiaoying rarely showed the petulance of a young lady.

She took the Fiend Extinguishing Pill and couldn’t wait to enter the cultivation room inside.

...

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and Elder Zhuang, seeing that Han Xiaoying had not come to have her meridians warmed, felt very worried.

This disciple, she valued highly.

Once the problem of evil Qi is resolved, her future prospects are boundless.

Worried that Han Xiaoying might encounter some accidents, Elder Zhuang personally visited her residence. Accompanied by a disciple, they knocked on the door, and Lu’er came out from inside.

Seeing that it was Elder Zhuang who had arrived, Lu’er, frightened, hastily knelt and bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Elder Zhuang!" said Lu’er with utmost respect.

"No need for formalities! Where is your master?" Elder Zhuang recognized Han Xiaoying’s personal sword slave. "Usually, she would warm her meridians at my place every five days. Why hasn’t she come for the past seven days?"

"My young mistress is cultivating inside! Her problem with evil Qi should be solvable now!" Lu’er said happily.

However, she didn’t dare to speak with absolute certainty, as Han Xiaoying’s problem with internal evil Qi had been difficult to cure despite all efforts.

If a man possesses the Seven-star Sword Veins, he will hardly be troubled or harmed by evil Qi.

Because men are naturally Yang, and the evil Qi of the Seven-star Sword Veins is Yin, the harmony of Yin and Yang not only does no harm but is actually beneficial.

Women are naturally Yin, and possessing the Seven-star Sword Veins, they cannot neutralize the evil Qi inside, therefore they are troubled and even harmed by it. However, this also serves as a great advantage.

Once resolved, with extra Yin added, the Sword Qi or sword light they display will have even more terrifying destructive power.

"Xiao Ying’s evil Qi is resolved?" Elder Zhuang felt extremely surprised. "Let this elder take a look!"

She walked directly towards the cultivation room where Han Xiaoying was.

After opening a small window, she could clearly see the inside. Han Xiaoying was seen sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, with a Jade Box of Elixirs beside her. Streams of grey evil Qi transformed into terrifying evil Pythons, swirling endlessly around her body.

With each circulation of the evil Qi, a portion of it would be reabsorbed and assimilated by her.

Then, the Sword Qi within her body would increase a bit.

"This, this is turning Fiendish Energy into the fundamental, converging into Sword Qi! My God, could it be that Xiao Ying has taken the Fiend Extinguishing Pill?" Elder Zhuang’s eyes were incredibly sharp, and she spotted the clue at once.

"The Elixir that the young mistress took is indeed the Fiend Extinguishing Pill!" Lu’er nodded affirmatively.

"Where did it come from?" Elder Zhuang became even more astonished. Despite all her efforts, she had been unable to obtain a Fiend Extinguishing Pill. How did Han Xiaoying, just an advanced-level disciple, manage to get it?

"Uh... it was gifted by her fiancé, Chu Feng!" Lu’er hesitated for a moment before truthfully confessing.

After hearing this news, Elder Zhuang’s face showed disbelief. "You mean, that Chu Feng who doesn’t even have sword meridians? How could such a new entry-level disciple obtain such a precious and rare Golden Talisman Elixir?"

At this moment, a disciple behind Elder Zhuang stepped forward and reported, "Master, it is said that Chu Feng was taken in as a disciple by Elder Shoumei a few days ago. With his abilities, he might not have been able to obtain the Fiend Extinguishing Pill, but Elder Shoumei is one of the strongest Pill Masters in our Ten Thousand Sword Sect. With Elder Shoumei’s help, it is possible that Chu Feng could have obtained the Fiend Extinguishing Pill."
