The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 38 Purification

Zhang Yuqi saw what Huo Ying meant and said with a wry smile: "Liang Yao's ability is really amazing, especially Sister Bai. She has a mysophobia to begin with, but she just endures it to save resources."

"Liang Yao stayed at our place for one night. Not only did we feel refreshed, but the house was even cleaner than after a thorough cleaning. However, Liang Yao's ability was uncontrollable. Not only did the house become clean, but the medicine that Sister Bai had worked so hard to research also became ineffective under Liang Yao's purification. If we hadn't reacted in advance and rescued many medicinal materials, Sister Bai's accumulation over the past few years would have been wasted."

"So, after thinking it over, I'd like to trouble you to take care of Liang Yao." Zhang Yuqi said generously, but she obviously didn't dare to look Huo Ying in the eye and deliberately avoided certain questions.

Fearing that Huo Ying would bring it up, Zhang Yuqi changed the subject and said, "You actually brought back the Exile's pickup truck. Can you lend it to me? With this, I can get more resources."

"Can I find a courier to trade for the blueprints of the shelter?" Huo Ying asked, and took out the car keys and handed them to Zhang Yuqi: "There are two barrels of gasoline in the car. Can I exchange them for gasoline from the courier?"

"Gasoline is a controlled substance and is not easily traded in XN City. The exiles must have found an abandoned gas station in the suburbs, so they got it. I can try to look for it and see if I can come across a gas station."

"Hmm." Huo Ying was silent for a second, then asked, "Last time the Exile deliberately followed you, so I didn't shoot you. If you always go out of town, what should you do if you encounter an Exile who shoots directly?"

Zhang Yuqi could hear Huo Ying's worry and concern, and her originally dim eyes brightened up: "As long as they don't shoot me in the head, my abilities will recover. The things the exiles have collected are limited, and they can't get weapons like sniper rifles. I'm not afraid of pistols and rifles."

"So, guns are still very lethal to you, right?" Huo Ying said, "If you are seriously injured by a bullet, it will consume your strength to recover, and if you are surrounded by infected people, it will be difficult to escape."

Huo Ying opened the wooden box in the room and took out the rifle and three boxes of bullets. "Take these with you. You have recovery ability, which other Exiles may not have. If you use the same gun against the Exiles, you have a greater advantage."

Zhang Yuqi raised her head and realized that Huo Ying had risen a little taller. She needed to look up to meet Huo Ying's gaze.

"A gun should be more powerful than your fish crossbow, right? Can you give it to me?"

Zhang Yuqi's voice was calm, but her heart was in turmoil. After Huo Ying lost his memory, especially when she learned that Huo Ying had concealed his cooperation with Liang Yao, Zhang Yuqi was prepared for Huo Ying to drift further and further away from her. But what she didn't expect was that Huo Ying was willing to give her the gun.

"Here." Huo Ying stuffed the gun and bullets into Zhang Yuqi's arms, then walked towards the wooden box and pretended to search through it, but in fact he used wood and earth escape techniques to make a helmet with rocks mixed in it.

"Once you leave town, wear this to avoid getting shot in the head."

"So ugly, ah, so heavy!" Zhang Yuqi took the helmet, her wrist sank, and then she was even more surprised: "That group of exiles actually have bulletproof helmets!"

Zhang Yuqi weighed her helmet and stared at Huo Ying seriously. "I didn't kill all the exiles, especially the black leader. Tell me the truth, did you kill him? If he didn't die, you took so many things from him, he definitely wouldn't leave the town easily."

"All dead."

After hearing Huo Ying's answer, Zhang Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief. She did not ask Huo Ying how he killed the black man. The infected people have different abilities. If Huo Ying didn't say, it meant that it was inconvenient for Huo Ying to say.

Zhang Yuqi drove away in the pickup truck. Huo Ying closed the door and turned his head to find Liang Yao lifting her skirt, sitting on a chair, rolling up her sleeves, and resting her arms on the dining table. As her skin came into contact with the furniture over a large area, Huo Ying's dining table and chairs gradually became clean, and the trend of cleanliness gradually spread to the whole house.

Seeing Huo Ying looking over, Liang Yao had a hint of flattery in her eyes: "I'm very useful. In addition to cleaning the house, I can also cook. If you are busy out, I can help you take care of the house."

Huo Ying shook his head and sat down opposite Liang Yao: "The exiles are all dead. I can repair your previous house. If you live here, you will be in more danger." The monsters in the factory marked Huo Ying and they might appear at any time. Huo Ying did not have the energy to protect Liang Yao.

"What if I'm not afraid of danger?" Liang Yao grabbed Huo Ying's hand.

A chill rushed into Huo Ying's palm, and the hot birthmark suddenly cooled down.

"and many more."

Huo Ying turned over his palm and found that the eyeball on the birthmark that was about to open was a little lighter.

Could it be that Liang Yao’s ability can also purify the mark?
Liang Yao reacted and hurriedly held Huo Ying's hand in her palm. A cool feeling flowed from Liang Yao's skin into the back of Huo Ying's hand and seeped into Huo Ying's palm bit by bit. The birthmark also faded visibly to the naked eye.

That's it!

This birthmark is not a mysterious curse, but a kind of energy that is still unknown to humans. Just like ultraviolet rays can burn the skin and flowers can leave a scent, this birthmark cannot be explained by science for the time being, but in essence it is all external damage to the skin.

Liang Yao's ability can just restrain the energy on the birthmark.

The birthmark gradually faded until it disappeared.

Liang Yao shook Huo Ying's hand and said, "Look, I'm useful, right? I can stay this time."

Liang Yao stood up while speaking, but just as she left the chair, her legs went weak and she fell back down on the chair.

Huo Ying subconsciously supported Liang Yao: "Your purification ability also consumes physical strength?"

"It has never happened before... This is the first time I've seen this happen."

Liang Yao suddenly trembled, then sat on the stool, curled up her body, and kept rubbing her arms and calves with her hands: "Oh, strange, it feels like numbness."

Huo Nian hurriedly lit a piece of poplar wood, roasted a few red yang stones and placed them next to Liang Yao to try whether the power of yang could help Liang Yao. Then he stood behind Liang Yao, stretched out his hand to help Liang Yao pat her back, arms and calves to help Liang Yao relieve the numbness and pain.

After working for more than ten minutes, Liang Yao finally relaxed, with a layer of fine beads of sweat appearing on her body.

"Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." Liang Yao looked at Huo Ying weakly, with a little pride in her eyes: "Your birthmark must be a trouble. Now, you have no right to chase me away."

Afraid that Huo Ying would think she was asking for repayment, Liang Yao hurriedly explained: "What I mean is, if the birthmark reappears, I'll be here with you and can help you remove it, so that you don't get into any accidents."

Huo Ying checked his palm himself and found that the birthmark had disappeared completely, and the feeling of being stared at was gone too.
