Chapter 233 Implicated
Guo Jia recalled the task the dean had given him before his departure, the most important of which was to find a divine bloodline that might have awakened a legendary companion spirit, and to find a way to gain the other party's favor.

Starry Sky Academy has found specific clues. The spirit controller with divine bloodline is very likely the champion of the unlimited group in this year's alchemist competition.

Guo Jia ripped off his mask, revealing a beautiful and refined face.

With a flick of his hand, a mirror of light appeared before him, reflecting his incredibly beautiful face. Looking at his own face, he thought of Ning Xuan, whom he had met today, and the men beside her. In terms of looks, two of them were even more handsome than him.

How should I approach her? I need to plan this carefully.

Inside the tree hollow, Ning Xuan sat alone in the alchemy room, carefully examining the Prajna Fruit that Lan Xin had bitten.

The aroma of this fruit is incredibly enticing and sweet, making you want to take a bite right away.

However, this did not affect her at all.

A whole day has passed, and there is no change at all on the broken skin of the Prajna fruit. There is no sign of moisture loss or oxidation and discoloration. The flesh looks as fresh as before.

Ning Xuan decided to try the fruit's effects. She slowly peeled off a layer of skin and took a bite from the other side.

Ning Xuan bit into the sweet fruit, feeling a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. She only took a small bite before putting the Prajna Fruit into her spatial ring.

Ning Xuan had just swallowed the sweet fruit when a surge of intense energy rushed into her body like magma. Her fingers, which were resting on the table, suddenly tightened, leaving five finger marks on the jade table.

"Well"

A scorching heat suddenly surged from her dantian, as if the blood flowing through her meridians had been ignited. She staggered back half a step, the silver bell on her wrist emitting a piercing buzz.

A crimson-gold light rose around Ning Xuan, condensing into a pair of illusory wings behind her.

A raging storm erupted in her spiritual sea, and the silvery-white divine power transformed into a hurricane, rampaging through her consciousness.

Ning Xuan's pupils had changed from black to golden red, like two flames burning fiercely.

Ning Xuan's mind was in turmoil, and the energy within her body was surging wildly. However, she did not feel particularly uncomfortable until, deep within her bloodline, a force of wind and thunder emanated.

Thunder rumbled within her body as pale blue wind and thunder power collided with golden-red flame energy, the two entangled and churning within Ning Xuan's body.

A deafening noise erupted from the alchemy room, yet no one came to investigate.

Di Youlin, Jiuwei, Qingze, Chen Nan, Lin Mo, Yun Han, and Lan Xin were all gathered in the central hall of the tree hole, discussing the events of the day.

Chen Nan suddenly clutched his head and cried out in pain. His companion spirit, the Azure-Eyed Golden Eagle, also let out a mournful cry and materialized from behind Chen Nan.

Just as Lin Mo was about to ask him what was wrong, his eyes suddenly turned red, and his companion spirit, the Blue Flame White Tiger, uncontrollably manifested from his body.

A look of pain flashed across Lan Xin's face. Scales grew back on his body. Then, Lan Xin suddenly convulsed violently, his legs transforming into writhing blue snake tails. He was like an insect trapped in amber, suddenly unable to move. Only Yun Han, though also showing signs of pain, did not reveal his companion spirit.

However, Yun Han looked at the blood-red Vermilion Bird divine beast mark on his arm with a complicated expression. He turned to look at the others, who should also have such marks, but he didn't know where they were hidden on their bodies.

"What's wrong? What happened to you all? Why are you all like this all of a sudden?" Nine-Tailed Fox asked anxiously when she saw the changes in Yun Han and the others.

Yun Han endured the excruciating pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart, and spoke haltingly, "Something happened to Ning Xuan. Don't move, don't disturb her."

When Nine-Tailed Fox heard that something had happened to Ning Xuan, she was about to run there when Yun Han stopped her with a single sentence.

In this team, Ning Xuan is naturally the one who has the final say, but once Ning Xuan is not there, the command of the team automatically transfers to Yun Han, which is something everyone agrees on.

Apart from Yun Han, the other three were enduring intense physical and mental pain, unable to speak or move freely.

"What should we do? Will Master be in danger?" Nine-Tails paced around anxiously, fidgeting with its hands.

"No. Just focus on your cultivation and don't overthink it. It will pass soon." Yun Han didn't know how Ning Xuan was doing, but since she was able to influence them, the contractors, through the mental link, she must still be alive and well.

Yun Han's guess was correct. Three minutes later, Yun Han's disturbed mental sea gradually calmed down, and the bloodline energy surging within his body also gradually subsided. Everyone else also calmed down, except for Lan Xin, whose mental sea had recovered, but whose snake tail and scales had not reverted to their original state.

Ning Xuan endured the pain while cultivating the "Spirit Guiding Scripture," gradually refining the two entangled bloodline energies within her body and guiding them into their respective meridians.

Ning Xuan originally thought this would be a long process, but unexpectedly, after only about three minutes, the raging mental sea calmed down first, and then the gold and blue bloodline energies returned to their respective paths and did not interfere with each other.

Ning Xuan examined her body internally and found that the flesh of the Prajna Fruit had been completely consumed. The effect of this fruit on her was only the three to five minutes of confusion. Although it did not cause any harm to her body, it did not bring her any benefits either.

Lan Xin's mental strength increased by two levels. Ning Xuan originally thought that eating this thing would also increase her mental strength, but who knew that it had no effect at all.

After Ning Xuan finished her meditation, she left the alchemy room and went to the central hall in the tree hole, which was where everyone ate, rested, and spent time.

Normally, at this time, everyone would be in the lobby, discussing and reviewing what happened during the day.

Before Ning Xuan even reached the hall, she noticed signs that the mental link channels she had established had been used, especially the one with Lan Xin, which was still glowing.

Through this link, Ning Xuan could sense Lan Xin's consciousness rising and falling amidst his cries of pain. His legs seemed to have transformed into snake tails, and beneath the calm surface of his spiritual sea, a large blue snake was floating and sinking.

Ning Xuan transmitted a wisp of her spiritual energy through the spiritual link channel.

In the short time that followed, Ning Xuan arrived at the hall and saw Lan Xin's swaying blue snake tail with her own eyes.

"You were all implicated because of me?" Ning Xuan asked with certainty, looking at the snake's tail.
