Chapter 679 673: Healing

Upon charging into the black, toxic mist, Shen Haoran immediately released his Spiritual Power, attempting to form a barrier against it. However, the moment his Spiritual Power emerged, it was instantly devoured by the pitch-black fog. A sharp HISS echoed as a foul, nauseating stench filled the air, making Shen Haoran want to gag.

Seeing that ordinary Spiritual Power was useless against the black mist, Shen Haoran furrowed his brow. 'No wonder Long Aotian said I couldn't even get into the room,' he thought. 'This Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder not only devours Bloodline Power, but it also consumes a person's Spiritual Power.'

At this thought, a purple-black flame surged from Shen Haoran, instantly enveloping his entire body. This flame was a fusion of three different Heaven and Earth Spirits. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding black mist recoiled as if it had seen its natural predator, fleeing from him in terror. Such a vile substance was most afraid of pure Energy like that of the Heaven and Earth Spirits.

Seeing that his purple-black flame was effective against the Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder, Shen Haoran no longer hesitated and charged straight into the room.

He burst into the room and immediately spotted Lady Ya on the bed. Her face was deathly pale, and her once-silky black hair had turned snow-white. Pained moans escaped her lips as her blackened fingernails dug into the bedsheets. She was clearly in agony.

Tendrils of the pitch-black mist continuously rose from Lady Ya's body, dissipating into the air. Upon sensing Shen Haoran's presence, they swarmed madly toward him, but the moment they touched his purple-black flames, they scattered in terror like mice from a cat.

Seeing Lady Ya's condition, Shen Haoran's brow furrowed. He was at her side in a single stride, taking her pale, delicate hand in his as he extended his Heart Spirit to probe her body.

When his Heart Spirit entered Lady Ya's body, Shen Haoran's expression immediately darkened. Her entire system was overrun by the Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder. The pitch-black mist was coiled around her meridians, bones, and organs, constantly devouring her life force. The once-potent Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline Power was now nearly depleted. If he had arrived just half a day later, Lady Ya would have been beyond saving.

Witnessing the devastation within her, Shen Haoran didn't dare delay for a second. He immediately manipulated his newly fused Spirit Seed, causing the purple-black flame to seep slowly into Lady Ya's body. The excruciating pain made her delicate brows furrow in agony.

As the purple-black flame entered, the Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder in Lady Ya's body began to rapidly retreat. This pure, yang Energy was extremely lethal to a vile, yin substance like the poison.

Under Shen Haoran's control, the poison was quickly forced into a corner within her body and surrounded by a ball of purple-black flame. But even after he drove the Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder out of her meridians and organs, Lady Ya's complexion showed no sign of improvement. Shen Haoran knew that what he had just dealt with was only a small portion clinging to the surface; the majority of the poison had already seeped into her very bone marrow.

Shen Haoran took a deep breath. He then meticulously controlled the purple-black flame, beginning to sear her meridians, bones, and organs to force out every last trace of the poison that had seeped deep inside.

He had to be extremely careful. The Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder had ravaged Lady Ya's meridians, leaving them incredibly fragile. His own purple-black flame was immensely destructive, so forcing out the poison without harming her was an immense challenge.

Time ticked by, second by second. Beads of sweat trickled down Shen Haoran's forehead. Even when a drop stung his eye, he could only endure the pain, refusing to even blink. After a long while, he finally forced out the last remnants of the Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder. The strain was immense; even with the powerful Spiritual Thought of a Seventh Grade Alchemist, he was reaching his limit, his face growing pale.

Staring at the expelled mass of Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder, Shen Haoran's expression grew grave once more. The poison had devoured Lady Ya's Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline. He had to extract that Bloodline Power from the poison, or she would die from its loss!

A terrifying heat erupted from the purple-black flame as it began the furious Refinement of the Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder. Sensing the threat, the poison began to resist violently. The dark mist morphed into black serpents that lashed out, trying to break through the fiery barrier.

Sensing the dark mist's intent, Shen Haoran wasted no time. With a single thought, the purple-black flame surged forward, forming chains that bound the mist before beginning the furious Refinement process.

As the purple-black flame continued its Refinement, wisps of white Energy began to seep out from the dark mist. Shen Haoran carefully enveloped them with his Spiritual Thought, and only after double-checking to ensure they were pure did he guide the white Energy back into Lady Ya's body, allowing it to merge with her remaining Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline.

Under the furious Refinement of the purple-black flame, the Bloodthirsty Godslaying Powder was soon squeezed dry. All the Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline Power it had consumed was expelled and returned to Lady Ya's body. Once the process was complete, Shen Haoran took the now-inert ball of dark mist and sealed it within a Jade Bottle.

Shen Haoran sent his Heart Spirit back into Lady Ya to assess the damage. He frowned at the sight. Her meridians and organs had been too severely ravaged by the poison. Her restored Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline Power alone wouldn't be enough for her to recover.

With this in mind, Shen Haoran's Heart Spirit entered his Primordial Small World. A jade-green Dragon Pearl and two drops of golden blood floated quietly in the space above. Nourished by the life force from his new Wood Spirit, Cyan Profound, both the Dragon Pearl and the golden blood had undergone a tremendous transformation.

After a moment of deliberation, Shen Haoran wrested one of the golden drops of blood from his world and fused it into Lady Ya's body. As it entered, a brilliant golden light erupted from within her. The next moment, her white Nine-tailed White Fox Bloodline went into a frenzy, surging toward the golden blood and instantly merging with it.

A moment later, droplets of pale golden blood began to drip from the original drop, quickly integrating into Lady Ya's system. As they merged, an immense wave of life force spread throughout her body. Her ruined meridians and organs began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye, growing even tougher and wider than they were before.

'Phew… thank goodness it worked.' Watching Lady Ya's gradual recovery, Shen Haoran finally let out a long sigh of relief. The moment his Heart Spirit withdrew from her body, a wave of profound exhaustion washed over him, and he sank into a deep, heavy sleep…
