Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 326 What an overbearing healing technique!
It is pointless to question a Nascent Soul True Monarch without cause.

Therefore, although True Lord Hanchuan didn't have much hope, out of politeness, he still smiled and said he was willing to cooperate with Xiao Chen to give it a try.

Since healing spells aren't dangerous, I might as well give it a try.

Although the True Lord Gangyuan was busy drawing the new array base, he also heard their conversation.

However, he did not make any further remarks, but continued to concentrate on drawing the array patterns.

Are there any special precautions I should take?

Seeing that Xiao Chen seemed to be preparing to cast a spell, True Monarch Hanchuan asked softly, "The spiritual energy concentration here isn't very strong. Shall we move to a quiet room in the spiritual vein?"

In fact, there are quite a few things to consider when healing injuries.

Besides the location, some special healing techniques also have requirements regarding the spiritual artifacts carried by the cultivator and the spiritual medicines they have recently taken.

Although True Lord Hanchuan had already consciously removed his spirit robe.

But a doubt arose in my mind.

The main problem is that Xiao Chen doesn't ask or explain anything, and seems to have little experience in healing others.

To put it bluntly, their behavior was unprofessional and more like that of a rogue cultivator.

"Quiet room?"

Xiao Chen waved his hand: "No need for that trouble, we can just stay here."

"Please relax a little, fellow Daoist, and do not resist my true essence."

To be honest, when he was learning the "Qinglin Runmai Jue" (青霖润脉诀), the book didn't emphasize any rules, so it shouldn't matter.

In fact, as a Yellow-level spell, it doesn't really require any coordination or prerequisites.

It can even be used directly in emergencies when needed, which is an advantage of being a Yellow-level spell.

"Enter!"

Xiao Chen made a hand seal, and three streams of true essence transformed into raindrops of emerald green spiritual liquid in mid-air, which landed on True Monarch Hanchuan one after another.

Guided by divine sense, it quickly penetrates into the meridians beneath the opponent's skin and flesh.

Thanks to the patient's cooperation, the process went relatively smoothly.

However, True Lord Hanchuan blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

That spell looks so familiar.

Both the hand gestures and the effects felt strangely familiar, as if I had seen them in my own library.

However, the last time he browsed the other four tiers of spells in the library was more than two hundred years ago.

Given the passage of time and the fact that he only read it once and did not actually practice it, he was still learning.

Therefore, at first glance, True Lord Hanchuan did not recognize that this was their own healing spell.

Moreover, regardless of whether it's based on rumors or speculation about Xiao Chen's background...

Or, based on normal logic, there's no reason for him to think about the Yellow-level cultivation technique.

After all, normally, who would knowingly try a Yellow-level cultivation technique when they know that the Tiangang Sect's many healing techniques and several elixirs are ineffective?
It must have used a special, secret method.

"Hiss~, ho!"

Han Chuan Zhenjun gasped for breath and let out a painful groan.

After the spiritual liquid merged into the meridians, it began to collide with the remaining demonic energy and toxins.

In an instant, his entire body seemed to have transformed into a battlefield.

What follows is a feeling of bloating and pain.

His entire body was stained with purple and green, which mixed together to form a somewhat eerie gray-green color.

"It's working?"

The True Lord of Hanchuan suddenly widened his eyes, a feeling of surprise welling up in his heart.

He was not afraid of this change, because change meant that the treatment was effective.

Compared to some elixirs that produce almost no effect after consumption, this change delighted him.

As long as there is hope for improvement, a little pain is nothing to worry about.

He can hold on!
However, things took an unexpected turn once again.

Just three breaths later, the purple hues representing toxins quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

They were quickly divided, surrounded, and then wiped out piece by piece.

Not only that, the emerald green spiritual liquid will also directly merge into the meridians after a victory, repairing the damage caused by the collision.

The reaction in Han Chuan Zhenjun was a sudden swelling and pain all over his body.

Immediately, it felt as if a lot of silt in the meridians had been washed away by a heavy rain, and the swelling and pain quickly subsided and disappeared.

At the same time, a distinct feeling of coolness and comfort arose.

Before long, he felt as if he were soaking in a mountain spring, and his whole body felt refreshed.

"receive!"

Seeing that the demonic energy had been purified, Xiao Chen gave a soft shout and pointed his fingers outwards like a sword.

The remaining true essence immediately burst forth from True Monarch Hanchuan, gathering in mid-air along with the remaining poison.

Finally, it landed steadily in the vase by the wall.

“Sizzle~!”

It was as if hot oil had been poured into the vase, quickly burning the third-tier spirit flowers inside into a pile of black, withered branches and leaves.

Even the vase itself had turned a burnt yellow color.

At the same time, True Lord Hanchuan felt completely refreshed, his chronic illness gone, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Ah~, that feels great!"

Since being invaded by the demonic energy, he has been as if he were wearing shackles.

I feel extremely uncomfortable and awkward in everything I do, whether it's daily life or just living.

Today I am finally free again, and I no longer need to exert myself to suppress my injuries.

The True Lord of Hanchuan showed a look of joy, but immediately collected his thoughts and first activated his mental technique to conduct a detailed examination of himself.

If any residual toxins remain in the body, they should be suppressed in time.

However, after inspecting the area twice, he found that all the demonic energy and toxins had been completely eliminated, leaving not a trace.

Not only that, but there was no trace of the damage caused by the clearing of demonic energy in his meridians.

The traces left by the previous corrosion from the toxins also disappeared without a trace.

It can be described as a complete transformation, as good as it gets.

This discovery stunned True Lord Hanchuan once again.

What an amazing healing technique!
It was able to penetrate deep into all his meridians and completely eliminate all his demonic energy in one go.

In the past, treating Han Chuan Zhenjun was extremely difficult, and he had already prepared for a long-term battle.

I never expected that it would heal so quickly and so completely.

He didn't even need the step of restoring his old meridian injuries.

The hidden lineage of Taoism is terrifying!
The True Lord of Hanchuan was greatly shocked, mainly because he clearly knew that Xiao Chen was only twenty-nine years old!
If it were a seven or eight hundred-year-old medical practitioner, he would only admire the other person's superb skills.

But I don't think about things too much.

But Xiao Chen has only cultivated for a few years in total, and how much of that time has been used to cultivate auxiliary spells?

The fact that he could achieve such a powerful healing effect undoubtedly shows that the healing technique he used was extremely powerful!

It's probably among the very top-tier Heaven-level cultivation techniques.
Of course, the power of the technique is one thing, but Xiao Chen, as the user, was able to master such a powerful technique so quickly, which shows his terrifying talent.

Just thinking about it makes one feel like they're in a world of difference, and it doesn't even arouse any jealousy.

The difference is too great; they don't even seem to be the same race.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Xiao. My injuries have been completely healed."

Han Chuan Zhenjun stood up, clasped his hands in thanks, and then bowed deeply: "Fellow Daoist, you have helped me out of danger and distress at such a critical time."

"If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, just ask and I will do my best without hesitation."

Treating injuries is a matter of human kindness, and treating such a stubborn and difficult-to-treat ailment is an even greater matter of human kindness.

Furthermore, at this critical moment, the significance of True Monarch Hanchuan healing the wounded, a crucial combat force of the Tiangang Sect, is even more critical.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a great favor.

"What? Junior brother, you're already healed?"

Not far away, True Lord Gangyuan was almost finished with his drawing, but upon hearing True Lord Hanchuan express his gratitude, he immediately looked up in surprise.

The pen in his hand also paused in mid-air.

He immediately loosened his grip, ignoring the spirit pen that had fallen onto the paper, and stepped forward to carefully sense his junior brother's aura.

Gangyuan Zhenjun had examined his injuries many times before, so he was quite experienced.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed found that his junior brother's aura was stable and no longer as weak as before.

So fast?
It should be noted that when Xiao Chen entered, True Lord Gangyuan had almost finished drawing the pattern in his hand.

He had originally planned to finish the drawings he had on hand first, and then come over to check on the situation.

After all, such a stubborn disease, even if it can be cured, would take a considerable amount of time.

How long has it been?

In less than ten breaths, the demonic energy that had been entrenched in the body of True Monarch Hanchuan was completely eliminated.

It's unbelievably fast!
"I never expected Fellow Daoist Xiao to have such abilities. You are truly multi-talented."

The True Lord Gangyuan's tone carried a hint of emotion: "To be able to achieve such mastery of auxiliary spells in addition to cultivation is truly a genius!"

If he had known, he should have just thrown down the blueprints and come over to watch the other party make their move.

Being able to witness such methods firsthand is certainly a way to broaden one's horizons.

His thoughts at the time were actually similar to those of True Lord Hanchuan; he didn't have much expectation.

It's a real shame that we missed such a crucial moment.

However, although he didn't see the process, that's not the key point.

Most importantly, the True Lord of Hanchuan has been cured, which will greatly alleviate the problem of manpower shortage.

Previously, relying solely on him was quite a stretch.

If there had been one more person to deal with the situation half a month ago, he wouldn't have risked leaving the protective formation and ended up being chased so badly by the sea creatures.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao's kindness should be repaid in full!"

Gangyuan Zhenjun immediately said, "I remember there are still some water-type spiritual items in the warehouse, including the two wood-type spiritual items that were kept for healing."

"Now that my junior brother's injuries have healed, there's no need to make any more preparations."

"I will go and fetch it for Fellow Daoist Xiao as a token of my gratitude."

Without waiting for a response, he quickly left the main hall and went to the sect's warehouse to retrieve his belongings.

It's obvious that this isn't just polite talk.

"It's just a small favor, why bother... Hey, Fellow Daoist Gangyuan, please wait a moment."

Before Xiao Chen could finish refusing, the other person had already disappeared.

That's incredibly fast!

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no need to be so polite. A few spiritual items are only fair."

Instead, True Monarch Hanchuan took the initiative to persuade him: "To be honest, if my injuries don't improve, those two spiritual items will be wasted sooner or later. Giving them to you now is actually a better deal for me."

"After all, this way I can be less bothered for quite a long time."

It has to be said that his way of thinking is quite simple and honest, the kind of thing that body cultivators would say.

Although on the surface, True Lord Hanchuan doesn't seem like a body cultivator but rather a magic cultivator.

The problem is, Xiao Chen wasn't after this reward.

He was still thinking about taking the initiative.

So when Gangyuan Zhenjun returned with the spiritual object, he did not accept it immediately.

Instead, he openly stated his purpose: "To be honest, there is something I would like to discuss with you two today."

"That means we should switch from defense to offense and take the initiative."

"Before the sea creatures can react, or before their reinforcements arrive, let's take care of those two human traitors, Wang and Fan."

"What do you two think?"

Upon hearing this target, both Gangyuan Zhenjun and Hanchuan Zhenjun were stunned.

What does this mean?
They were a little confused. Was Xiao Chen planning to contribute to the cause of the Compassionate Sea Clan?

Are there truly cultivators who have the world in their hearts and disregard personal gain?
Otherwise, since Xiao Chen has no other attachments, why would he insist on going to war with the sea tribe?

It's important to know that magical duels are inherently risky; a prodigy like him should prefer a peaceful and stable cultivation path.

They're overthinking it.

Xiao Chen had no thoughts about the world or the great cause of the human race. It wasn't that they were completely unrelated to him, but rather that they were irrelevant.

He simply wanted to keep his previous promise.

While we're at it, let's see if we can get back some more fourth-tier spirit items besides water-type spirit items.

The Tiangang Sect has nothing left, but the Mozhang Sect should still have some.

If they can launch a counterattack and re-establish communication between the two sides, wouldn't True Lord Yunfeng have to show some appreciation?
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, the sea creatures must have offered a lot of benefits to bribe human traitors like Wang and Fan.

Xiao Chen naturally wanted to see what those things were.

It would be best to try it out and check the actual effect.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are so righteous, please accept my bow!"

Han Chuan Zhenjun bowed and said with some excitement, "At this difficult time, you did not stand aside, but took the initiative to get involved. You are truly a role model for us all."

He was naturally excited, because he and Yunfeng Zhenjun were old friends.

I had wanted to save people for a while, but unfortunately I didn't have the means.

Xiao Chen's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, so he made an exception and agreed without even discussing it.

Of course, there's really no need to discuss it.

Because True Monarch Gangyuan was thinking the same thing: "That's great, Fellow Daoist Xiao's words have really struck a chord with me."

"I also believe that we should take this opportunity to launch a moderate counterattack."

"We should strive to push the battle line back into the territory of the Mozhang Sect, so as to support Fellow Daoist Yunfeng in breaking through the encirclement and preserve more of our human race's strength."

"I've actually prepared the attack plan."

As he spoke, True Lord Gangyuan took out a map and unfolded it: "According to the latest intelligence, the sea race has retreated to the Huiluo Islands line."

"If we just hold them off here first, and then take over the right flank formation, we can immediately begin the encirclement."

"When I was setting up the formation, I deliberately left a secret that only I knew about."

"Without interference from Nascent Soul demons, I can reclaim these two fourth-tier formations on the right flank in just two days."

This can actually be considered an advantage of location, since they are locals and the sea creatures are invaders.

The reason why True Lord Gangyuan had thought so much but hadn't brought up this idea first was because...

The main reason was the previous lack of manpower, which resulted in a low success rate for the plan.

In addition, he was not familiar enough with Xiao Chen, and after hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't figure out how to ask him to get involved in this mess.

But now the other party has taken the initiative to bring up the same idea.

He was naturally overjoyed, even somewhat excited.

Xiao Chen was quite surprised when he saw the attack plan: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Gang Yuan to be so well prepared. In that case, it's settled then."

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war."

"I suggest that Fellow Daoist Hanchuan rest for a while before we set off immediately."

Han Chuan Zhenjun immediately replied, "I am in very good condition now and do not need to make any preparations. I can set off at any time."

After all, he should still have a day on the road, which should be enough time for him to review his spells.

Moreover, this time they were the attackers with a local numerical advantage, allowing them to adapt while fighting.

"However, there is one more thing that needs to be resolved before that."

Gangyuan Zhenjun handed over the storage ring in his hand: "Please accept this gift of gratitude, Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Xiao Chen waved his hand: "That won't be necessary. First of all, it's just a small favor for me."

"Secondly, now that we are fighting side by side, it is only right that we help each other."

However, True Lord Gangyuan insisted on giving it to him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are mistaken."

"First of all, fellow Daoist, healing your injuries came first, and then the agreed-upon battle took place. These are clearly two separate matters; how can they be conflated?"

"Secondly, even for the sake of combat, rewards and punishments should be clearly distinguished. Fellow Daoist has rendered meritorious service in healing injuries and should be rewarded with spiritual items."

“If Fellow Daoist Xiao leaves the main hall empty-handed today, outsiders will laugh at us for being unreasonable.”

Of course, the fact that True Lord Gangyuan insisted on giving Xiao Chen the spiritual item was also partly a way of currying favor.

After all, Xiao Chen's potential is undeniable, and he had previously requested at least three wood-type spiritual items.

If it weren't for the need to heal True Monarch Hanchuan, he would have already taken the opportunity to trade away the spiritual item.

Now that there's talk of healing the wound, it's only natural that we should hurry up and get it done.

"Well, then I'll accept your offer."

Xiao Chen didn't refuse any longer and accepted the storage ring.

The three then agreed to set off early the next morning before going their separate ways.

The Nascent Soul True Lord made the decision, and the disciples below naturally had no choice but to obey.

As the order from Gangyuan Zhenjun reached the ears of every disciple on Qingcang Peak, the entire Tiangang Sect began preparations for the attack.

They need to be responsible for all sorts of trivial matters.

For example, clearing out low-level enemy cultivators, cleaning up the battlefield, and tidying up the environment for setting up formations.

Or, to put it another way, test the enemy's formation by consuming its resources, take over and maintain the formation after capturing it, send out small groups to set up surveillance formations to gather intelligence, and so on.

The entire night, Qingcang Peak was brightly lit.

Before dawn the next morning, the first batch of Golden Core cultivators, wearing invisibility cloaks and carrying portable array plates, set off ahead of schedule.

And before the reiki surge that started on time ended.

Several enormous spirit ships were already anchored on the nearest sea.

Thousands of Tiangang Sect disciples quickly boarded the ship and then split into two groups, heading towards the Huiluo Islands and its right flank.

Because Fan and Wang had no intention of going out to resist.

As a result, the journey was generally unimpeded.

In just fourteen hours, the spirit ship on the main route arrived at the outer perimeter of the Huiluo Islands.

Xiao Chen and True Lord Hanchuan were both on this spirit ship. They were responsible for temporarily restraining Fan and Wang to buy time for True Lord Gangyuan and True Lord Liekong.

However, things went much more smoothly than expected.

It was clear that the Tiangang Sect had truly begun its counterattack.

Fan and Wang showed no intention of resisting and were determined to hide inside the defensive formation, preparing to defend it to the death.

As long as we can stall until the sea tribe reinforcements arrive or Jinluan and the others are free to attack, we will have won.

"Looks like they're hiding inside, too scared to come out, hahaha."

Han Chuan Zhenjun tried to approach the outside of the formation alone and challenge it, but there was no response from inside.

But the more he did this, the more freely he cursed.

This is normal. After all, he had been blocked at his own doorstep for almost a whole year. Now that the situation has finally turned around, it's time for him to vent his anger.

Xiao Chen lost interest.

Instead, they took this opportunity to observe the Tiangang Sect disciples setting up their formations.

While reading, I compared it with the insights on array formations that I had read in the library.

This can be considered as indirectly improving one's formation skills.

Although the benefits of doing this are limited, you might as well do something else since you're idle anyway.

Just one day later, True Lord Gangyuan and True Lord Liekong arrived on time to meet up.

The backup plan proved very effective; all seven Golden Core cultivators from the Fan family responsible for guarding the right flank were killed on the spot by True Monarch Gangyuan, who disregarded the formation.

This changed the situation to four against two.

"In four more hours, the next surge of spiritual energy will begin."

Gangyuan Zhenjun was very pleased: "After the spiritual energy tide ends, there will be a brief period of spiritual energy dissipation."

"Let's take this opportunity to attack the west side of the formation together."

"At that time, I will carry the Kan flag and first proceed along..."

It must be said that having a companion who is proficient in formations is indeed very advantageous.

Despite its strategic location, the Zhaokong faction provided manpower to build their own defensive array.

However, because True Lord Gangyuan was very familiar with the surrounding terrain, he made very detailed arrangements.

Everything went so smoothly.

As a result, if the plan is executed as scheduled, victory will be almost within reach.

However, at this very moment, a new change occurred on the Huiluo Islands.

It seems they realized that the main fighting force of the Tiangang Sect had all arrived.

Dozens of sky-blue beams, each about ten feet thick, rose one after another, illuminating the dark night sky.

A brand-new fourth-order grand formation revealed its ferocious nature.

Together with the original defensive formation, they formed a pincer movement.

"Oh no, it's a double-layered, interconnected killing formation!"

Standing in mid-air, the True Lord Gangyuan's face looked rather grim under the blue spiritual light: "The environment here shouldn't support such a complex formation."

"How on earth did they do it?"

He seemed to have underestimated the enemy he was facing.

The True Lord of Hanchuan, standing to the side, also frowned deeply, clearly not expecting such a turn of events to occur at this time.

Only Xiao Chen looked at Gang Yuan Zhenjun with curiosity.

"Um, what is a two-way chain killing formation?"
