Chapter 216 Not Bold
“You are her master, I trust you. Whatever medicinal herbs she needs, I will send someone to find them immediately.”

Master Lu nodded and began refining the pills.

His technique was skillful, and spiritual energy flowed through his fingertips as he refined the medicinal herbs one by one.

However, the power of the "Flaming Sun Wheel" within Liu Sijun's body was extremely stubborn. The pills refined by Master Lu could only temporarily alleviate her pain, but could not completely suppress it.

Just then, Li Qing heard the news and rushed over.

A flicker of pain crossed his eyes when he saw Liu Sijun unconscious.

"elder sister……"

Master Lu looked at Li Qing, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"Qing'er, your mutated fire spirit root might be able to help your elder sister. Try using your fire spirit root to guide the fire attribute power within her body and bring it back on track."

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Qing immediately walked to Liu Sijun's side, stretched out her hand, and the power of the mutated fire spirit root slowly surged forth.

He carefully connected his fire elemental power with the fire attribute power within Liu Sijun's body, attempting to guide that raging power.

At first, the power within Liu Sijun's body resisted strongly, constantly impacting Li Qing's fire spirit root power.

Li Qing gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and continued to persevere.

Gradually, the power within Liu Sijun's body began to loosen slightly, as if he had sensed the same source power as Li Qinghuo's spiritual root.

"Okay, continue!"

Master Lu Dan encouraged him from the side.

Li Qing increased the output of his power.

Finally, the fire attribute power within Liu Sijun's body began to be guided and converge towards his dantian.

Li Qing's forehead was covered in sweat and his face had turned pale, but he still did not give up.

After some effort, the fire attribute power within Liu Sijun's body was finally successfully guided and temporarily stabilized.

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and sat down wearily to the side.

"Thank you, Qing'er."

Gu Changzhou looked at Li Qing with gratitude.

Li Qing shook her head. "As long as my sister is alright, that's all that matters."

Although Liu Sijun's condition has stabilized for the time being, she still has not woken up.

Master Lu knew that this was only a temporary solution and that a better approach was needed to completely resolve the problem.

“My lord, although Miss Liu’s condition is under control for the time being, the power of the ‘Flaming Sun Wheel’ remains a hidden danger. We need to find a way to enable Miss Liu to truly control this power; otherwise, it may erupt again at any time.”

"I'll figure something out," said Master Lu. Gu Changzhou nodded.

Just then, a soldier from the Molin Army rushed into the alchemy room, "My lord, the Blood Spirit Sect is making moves again! They seem to be gathering their forces, preparing to attack Laiyang County once more!"

Gu Changzhou's eyes narrowed: "These guys are really persistent. Master Lu, I'm leaving Jun'er in your care. I'll go organize the defense."

Lu Danshi nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to take good care of her."

Gu Changzhou turned and walked out of the alchemy room, secretly making up his mind that he must completely defeat the Blood Spirit Sect this time and not let them threaten the safety of Liu Sijun and Laiyang County again.

While unconscious, Liu Sijun sensed the danger emanating from the outside world. A strong will to survive surged within her. She knew she couldn't fall; there were still many things waiting for her to do...

In the days that followed, Gu Changzhou led the Molin Army and various forces in Laiyang County to actively prepare for defense. They reinforced the city walls, set up various defensive formations, and contacted other sects to request support.

Under the careful care of Master Lu and Li Qing, Liu Sijun finally slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at everything before her, she recalled her past experiences and felt a surge of determination.

"I can't lie here any longer. The Blood Spirit Cult is still waiting for us to deal with it, and the Nine Nether Demon Abyss has not yet been sealed."

Liu Sijun struggled to get up.

Master Lu quickly pressed her down, "What are you doing, girl? You just woke up and your body is still very weak. You need to rest properly, do you hear me?"

Liu Sijun shook his head: "Master doesn't have time. I can sense that the Blood Spirit Sect is coming with great force this time."

Master Lu snorted: "In your current state, you'd fall over with a single push. Even if the Blood Spirit Sect comes on strong, it has nothing to do with you."

Liu Sijun wanted to say more, but Master Lu glared at her and said, "What, you've grown wings and can't be controlled anymore, huh!"

Looking at Master Lu's stern eyes, Liu Sijun swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

She knew her master meant well, but she was filled with worry about the upcoming battle and couldn't rest peacefully.

“Master, I promise I won’t overdo it. But please let me do what I can, such as studying defensive formations or analyzing the weaknesses of the Blood Spirit Sect. I don’t want to be idle while everyone else is working hard.”

Liu Sijun spoke sincerely, his eyes filled with longing.

Looking at Liu Sijun's determined eyes, Lu Danshi's sternness gradually softened. He sighed and said, "Alright, seeing how insistent you are, I'll allow you to do some light work. But you have to promise me that you'll stop immediately if you feel any discomfort."

Liu Sijun's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded: "I promise you, Master!"

Watching the interaction between the two, Li Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Sister, since Master has agreed, don't push yourself too hard. Let's work hard together."

Looking at Li Qing, Liu Sijun felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He reached out and patted Li Qing's head, saying, "Qing'er, I owe you so much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much more suffering I would have endured."

Li Qing scratched her head, a little embarrassed: "What are you saying, sister? This is what I should do."

Afterwards, with the help of Master Lu, Liu Sijun sat up and began to carefully study the layout diagram of the defensive formation.

Based on her understanding of spiritual power and her experience with the Taixu Mirror, she offered some suggestions for improvement, which Master Lu Dan listened to, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Meanwhile, Gu Changzhou was busy outside the city.

He commanded the Molin Army and the forces of Laiyang County, optimizing and strengthening the defensive formations.

The support from the three major sects also arrived one after another, bringing various powerful magical artifacts and talismans.

Looking at the busy crowd in front of him, Gu Changzhou felt a sense of relief. He knew that with everyone working together, they would definitely be able to withstand the attack of the Blood Spirit Sect.

However, he also knew that the Blood Spirit Sect was coming with great force and must have come prepared, so he could not let his guard down.

A few days later, the Blood Spirit Cult's army finally came into view in Laiyang County.

They exuded a strong stench of blood, surging forth like a black tide.

Gu Changzhou stood on the city wall, his eyes fixed firmly on the direction of the Blood Spirit Sect. The Xuan Tie sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if it too was anticipating the upcoming battle.

"All personnel, listen up! Prepare for battle!"

Gu Changzhou shouted loudly.

The people on the city wall immediately stood ready, various magical artifacts and talismans flashed with light, and the defensive formation began to operate slowly.
