73: Damage to the soul! Soul-capturing power! Heal Tu Shan Nan Yu!
Tushan Nanyu originally didn't hold much hope.
She knew her body had reached its limit and she didn't have long to live.
Yet, she never expected it to actually have an effect!
This gave Tushan Nanyu a glimmer of hope, as no one truly wishes to die.
"Sister, how is it? Did it work?" Tushan Yiyi asked.
Tushan Nanyu regained her senses, her sapphire eyes gleaming as she nodded softly, "It worked, I feel much better!"
"It really worked!"
In front of her sister, Tushan Yiyi dropped all pretense, overjoyed.
"Thank you!" She turned to Xu Qing and thanked him solemnly.
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning. Your sister's problem is very tricky, and the Spirit Pill just now can't solve the root cause."
"You must have a way, don't you?"
Tushan Yiyi looked at Xu Qing with her foxy eyes, a deep trust inadvertently revealed in them.
Xu Qing's Spirit Pill gave The Two Tushan Sisters hope.
They were like drowning people, clutching at the last straw, unwilling to let go no matter what.
Tushan Nanyu noticed her sister's expression, her delicate brows slightly raised.
She felt her sister's attitude... was somewhat unfamiliar.
Other than towards herself, when had her sister ever shown such an expression to anyone else?
A sense of loneliness suddenly welled up in Tushan Nanyu's heart, as if she was about to lose something extremely important.
Before she could think further, the Fox Demons who had gone out to search for herbs returned to the pond.
"Your sister is too weak; she needs to eat the rest."
Xu Qing handed the remaining Spirit Pills to Tushan Yiyi, gave a brief instruction, then turned to select Spirit Medicine, preparing to continue refining.
Seeing him busy, the naturally shy Tushan Yiyi felt even more ashamed.
From the first time she met Xu Qing until now, it seemed she had only ever troubled him.
The more this happened, the more she felt she owed him too much.
If her sister's injuries were truly healed, she really wouldn't know how to repay him.
"Yiyi."
Tushan Nanyu watched her sister's expression, and a vague sense of unease surfaced in her heart.
"Ah? Sister, take your medicine."
Tushan Yiyi put the Spirit Pill into Tushan Nanyu's mouth, also stuffing back the words her sister was about to ask.
The Spirit Pill entered her belly, and its medicinal power began to circulate.
Tushan Nanyu could only digest the medicinal power first.
On the other side, Xu Qing began to work, concentrating on refining the necessary Spirit Pills.
A long while later.
As the sun set, an evening breeze swept across the pond, dispelling the warm rain, and the clear moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the Green Snake and Fox Demons in the forest.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the Pill Furnace rumbled, Spiritual Qi gathered within, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out with the evening breeze.
Xu Qing saw the Medicinal Pills within and finally let out a sigh of relief.
He took out several types of Medicinal Pills and handed them one by one to Tushan Yiyi.
"Eat this black one first, and the rest later," he said in a deep voice.
Tushan Yiyi looked at the entirely black Spirit Pill, which resembled poison, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed it to Tushan Nanyu.
"Your Soul is damaged because of an external force. After taking this Medicinal Pill, remember to relax your mind and guard, so I can act conveniently."
Xu Qing stared at the equally beautiful Tushan Nanyu and spoke slowly.
"You can see the problem with my Soul?"
A hint of surprise flashed in her sapphire eyes, Tushan Nanyu hesitated, then lightly nodded her head.
Since it had come to this, she might as well try everything.
She no longer hesitated and swallowed the black Spirit Pill.
The next instant.
"Mmm!"
A hideous black mark appeared between Tushan Nanyu's eyebrows, and an invisible fluctuation instantly rippled out.
Her delicate and elegant face showed a pained expression, and her two jade-like hands tightly gripped the bedding beneath her.
Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, and her face was pale, appearing quite tragic yet beautiful.
"Sister!"
Tushan Yiyi was greatly alarmed.
"Bear with it, it'll be over soon," Xu Qing shouted in a deep voice. Immediately, his golden vertical pupils stared intently at the black mark between Tushan Nanyu's eyebrows.
"Bear with it, it'll be over soon."
He silently chanted a mantra in his heart, and a Dark Light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Instantly.
A mysterious power that directly acted upon the Soul suddenly descended!
The Two Tushan Sisters, and the Fox Demons around them, all trembled, suddenly feeling a shiver from the depths of their Souls.
The aura of the Green Snake instantly changed!
It was as if... he was a deity governing the Reincarnation of life and death in the world!
Xu Qing didn't care about their gazes, carefully controlling his Soul Seizing power.
This was his first time using the Soul Seizing Technique on a living creature, so he had to be cautious.
The Soul Seizing power directly touched the black mark between Tushan Nanyu's eyebrows, attempting to pull it out.
The dark mark seemed to be alive; sensing the external intervention, it immediately twisted.
Strands of black lines began to spread, attempting to invade the depths of Tushan Nanyu's Soul.
"Ah!"
Tushan Nanyu endured the intense pain and let out a scream.
At this moment.
A cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he suddenly exerted force, forcibly tearing out the black mark.
A chilling, hoarse shriek rang out.
Under the effect of the Soul Seizing power, a ball of black Qi flew out from between Tushan Nanyu's eyebrows.
As soon as the black Qi appeared, a chilling coldness instantly descended. It constantly wriggled and struggled, as if it were alive.
"This is... the aura of a Ghost Cultivator?"
Xu Qing had no good feelings for this thing, and a wisp of scorching fire light spewed from his mouth.
The Fire of Burning Demonic Evil enveloped the black Qi, and a sharp, miserable shriek emanated from within.
The black Qi seemed to boil, and sinister ghostly Qi surged wildly, but it could not prevent itself from being burned into nothingness.
In just a moment, peace returned to the pond.
Tushan Nanyu was drenched in cold sweat, her brocade clothes clinging to her body, outlining a very eye-catching silhouette.
Xu Qing was right in front of her, and now being in the capacity of a 'healer,' he naturally had to pay attention to the patient's condition, so he inevitably saw some things.
Sister is indeed Sister, not just older.
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, he carefully observed and examined her.
This was his first time with little experience; although he was very careful, it was still too rough for a sensitive Soul.
At this moment, Tushan Nanyu resembled an elegant and graceful sleeping beauty, adding a touch of charm.
Xu Qing watched for a while, then turned to Tushan Yiyi and said:
"The root problem has been resolved. After this, she only needs to take the Medicinal Pills and rest for a period to recover."
Tushan Yiyi awakened from her stupor, her beautiful face bursting with intense joy and excitement.
"Really... Really!!"
She looked at Xu Qing, then quickly checked her sister's body.
Indeed, she found that the injury was stable, and the signs of deterioration had been completely eliminated!
"Sister, Sister won't die!"
Tushan Yiyi murmured to herself, repeating the words, her mind overwhelmed by immense joy.
Other Fox Demons surged forward, looking at the sleeping Tushan Nanyu, shedding tears of excitement.
After a good while.
Their emotions finally calmed down a little.
Tushan Yiyi led the way, and one by one, the beautiful and enchanting Fox Demons, each with their own unique charm, turned around and bowed to Xu Qing.
