Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

"The residual lightning power in the Thunder Pool can suppress the poison, and the Green Wood Origin will also protect my main meridian."

"You've just broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, and your Qi and blood haven't fully stabilized yet."

"You shielded me from three poison chains. If I were to worry about such a small loss now, it would be a waste of the opportunity you risked your life for."

Fan Chenxin's breathing became erratic, and the dark golden Buddha blood beneath his spine also vibrated.

Jiang Yining raised her hand and pressed it on his shoulder, directly suppressing the restless Buddhist energy back into his meridians.

"Don't get me wrong, I saved you not so you could have these wild thoughts now."

"This humble monk has no misunderstanding. It's just that after hearing those words, my wound seems to hurt less."

"If you continue to act like this, I'll let April in to keep an eye on you."

Fan Chenxin followed the instructions and sat cross-legged in the center of the stone platform.

Jiang Yining went around behind him, rolled up the sleeves of her outer robe, and knelt down on the bluestone.

She placed her palms on the main veins on both sides of her spine, avoiding the three penetrating wounds with her fingertips.

"It will hurt even more than before, so bite down on this if you can't take it."

Jiang Yining held a clean strip of cloth to his lips.

Fan Chenxin didn't take it, but instead raised her hand and grasped her wrist.

"Ning'er, if you sense anything is wrong, stop immediately. You are not allowed to test the poison on yourself."

"Loosen your grip first, otherwise the purple-gold wood energy won't be able to enter the main meridian."

Fan Chenxin slowly released her, but his fingers remained on her wrist.

Jiang Yining closed her eyes, and the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree within her dantian slowly expanded.

The purple-gold roots emerged from her palm and traveled down Fan Chenxin's spine.

The bone-corroding poison within the black veins is held captive by the roots, slowly dragging away the heart meridian.

Fan Chenxin groaned, his back arched, and cold sweat instantly slid down his forehead.

"If you feel pain, grab the stone platform and don't let the Buddha's blood flow out indiscriminately."

"Ning'er, the black markings are rushing back into your palm. Immediately retract the Divine Wood."

"I see things more clearly than you do; you just need to keep your heart calm."

"They've already touched your wood element; I can't let you continue to take risks."

"Fan Chenxin, if you force yourself to turn around now, the venom will rush straight into your heart."

He abruptly stopped moving, every muscle in his back tensing up.

The purple-gold wood energy forced the first clump of venom out of the wound.

The black liquid fell onto the stone surface and immediately corroded small pits.

Jiang Yining's shoulders and back trembled slightly from the continuous breathing.

The primordial liquid that had just formed in the Condensation Realm rippled outwards in the dantian in several fine waves.

Fan Chenxin noticed that her breathing was unsteady and her voice was low and hoarse.

"Ning'er, you have expelled most of the poison gas for me. You can rest for a while."

"It's not time to rest yet; the poisonous markings have already sunk to our waists."

"If this continues, you'll be the first one to get hurt."

"That's still better than watching the bone-corroding poison invade your heart."

The purple-gold roots tightened again, forcing the black veins to curl downwards.

Fan Chenxin raised her hand to support herself on the stone platform, the veins on the back of her hand bulging.

"Ning'er, stop."

"You didn't listen to me when you were in a dangerous situation, so you have no right to make me stop now."

"I'm not ordering you around, I'm just worried you'll get hurt."

"Then save this fear for when you've healed, and tell me about it later."

When the poisonous pattern was pressed against his waist, a burst of black energy suddenly exploded from the wound.

Just as Jiang Yining was about to raise her hand to form a hand seal, Fan Chenxin had already put his arm around her shoulder and led her to the inside of the stone wall.

The black venom grazed his shoulder, splashed onto the stone wall, and corroded a cloud of pungent white smoke.

Fan Chenxin stood protectively in front of her, bracing his arms against the stone walls on either side.

Beads of sweat rolled down her chin and landed on the fabric of her clothes on her shoulder.

"Have you been exposed to venom? Let me see your hands."

"I'm not hurt, please sit back down."

"That poisonous gas was too close to you just now, so I can't be sure if it entered your meridians."

"You've blocked the venom. If you don't sit properly, the remaining poison will try to penetrate your dantian."

Fan Chenxin's body stiffened, and black blood seeped out of the wound on his back again.

He tried to back away, but his legs suddenly gave way, and he almost knelt down in front of her.

Jiang Yining supported his arm and pressed him back onto the bluestone platform.

"Don't move around, the toxin is still retaliating."

"Ning'er, I did not mean to offend you just now."

"There's no point in talking about this now. Let's force out the last bit of poisonous markings first."

Jiang Yining helped him sit sideways and placed her palm on the area three inches from his dantian through his clothes.

The purple-gold wood energy entered along the side meridians of the waist and abdomen, firmly binding the poisonous root that was entrenched there.

Fan Chenxin's breath hitched, and the fingers supporting her on the stone platform suddenly tightened.

"Ning'er, this meridian is close to the Qi Sea, you don't need to go this far."

"The poisonous roots are already entrenched here; they can't be completely eradicated from behind."

"You can push me away, I'll use my own blood to suppress it."

"If you still had Buddha's blood to squander, the black lines on your back wouldn't have appeared until now."

Jiang Yining applied slight pressure to her palm, and the purple-gold wood energy flowed slowly along her side meridians.

Fan Chenxin dared not move again and could only withdraw all the disordered Buddhist energy back to his dantian.

Outside the cave came Wu Bao's low-pitched reprimand.

"Big Red Chicken is not allowed to peck at Uncle Flower's hair. He's sick and can't eat your saliva."

Fan Chenxin closed her eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"After hearing April's voice, I suddenly felt like someone who had done something wrong."

"You're the one who did something wrong, so why did you hurt yourself like this?"

"So, once my injuries heal, how does Ning'er plan to punish me?"

"As punishment, you must tell me where your escape route is before you take any action in the future."

"What if the only way out is for you and April?"

Jiang Yining looked into his eyes, which were so close to hers, and spoke after a moment.

"Then I will find you a way out, and you are not allowed to decide who should stay on your own again."

Fan Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and his raised hand stopped beside her sleeve before slowly withdrawing it.

The purple-gold roots suddenly retracted, and the last piece of black vein finally peeled off from his waist.

The black mist twisted and struggled in mid-air before being dispersed by the remaining lightning force.

The Divine Tree of Myriad Spirits draws back the detoxified gray mist, transforming it into a wisp of life.

Fan Chenxin felt all her strength drained away, and her body leaned forward.

Jiang Yining raised her hand to support his shoulder, letting him lean against the stone wall.

She held his pulse point to confirm that the poison had left his heart meridian.

"The poison has been completely removed. Can you sit still now?"

"Yes, but it will take a little while."

"If you had crossed the line while you were injured, I would have thrown you out into the outer cave right now."

Fan Chenxin raised her pale face, her breathing still not fully calm.

"This humble monk dares not overstep your rules by offering healing."

"Remember what you said."

A suppressed cough suddenly came from the outer cave.

Wu Bao's surprised voice rang out immediately afterward.

"Mommy, Uncle Zhonghua's finger moved!"

Jiang Yining immediately got up, preparing to check on Lou Xiaotian's injuries.

"You stay here to regulate your breathing, and you are not allowed to disturb the Buddha's blood again."

"I can sit still, you go see him first."

Fan Chenxin tried to get up by supporting herself on the stone platform, but her arms suddenly lost their strength.

He leaned forward, pulling Jiang Yining down with him as they fell back onto the stone platform.

Jiang Yining raised her hand to support his shoulder, and at that moment the black vines hanging from the cave entrance were lifted.
