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

Wu Bao carried the Fire Spirit Falcon into the inner cave, half of the thin blanket still dragging on the ground.

She happened to see Fan Chenxin supporting herself with one hand on Jiang Yining's side, while Jiang Yining was holding her pulse point with the other hand.

"What is Uncle Chenxin doing, pressing down on Mother? Is he helping her catch poisonous insects in the cave?"

Fan Chenxin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and immediately used the stone platform to back away.

He forgot that there was a stone wall behind him, and his forehead slammed into a hanging stalagmite.

The Fire Spirit Falcon was startled and took flight, its wing landing on his face with a layer of dust.

Jiang Yining steadied herself by holding onto the stone platform, her collar still buttoned up tightly.

"Uncle Chenxin was exhausted just now and almost fell. Mother was just checking his pulse."

Wu Bao took two steps closer, carrying the Fire Spirit Falcon, and his round eyes swept over Fan Chenxin.

"But Uncle Chenxin's face is even redder than the big red chicken's. Did he get burned by the poison gas again?"

Fan Chenxin raised her hand to wipe the dust off her face, but the roots of her ears turned even redder.

"This humble monk just bumped into the stone wall, but it has little to do with the poisonous gas."

Wu Bao stood on tiptoe, wanting to see the wounds on his shoulder and back.

Jiang Yining took her daughter's hand first.

"The poison has just been removed, so the wound cannot be touched, otherwise Uncle Chenxin will bleed again."

Wu Bao immediately put her little hands behind her back and nodded seriously.

"Then don't touch it in April, go and feed Uncle Zhonghua the remaining half mouthful of water in April."

"He only coughed once and hasn't really woken up yet, so we can't feed him water too quickly."

"Don't worry, Mother. I'll feed him carefully in April, so he won't choke on his food."

Wu Bao carried the Fire Spirit Falcon out of the cave, but turned back when they reached the entrance.

"Uncle Chenxin, you must also be obedient and not suddenly collapse on Mother again."

Fan Chenxin closed his eyes, and a vein on his forehead throbbed slightly.

Jiang Yining watched her daughter leave before looking up at the person leaning against the stone wall.

"The poison has been completely eradicated, how long are you planning to sit here?"

"This humble monk simply did not expect that April would witness what just happened."

"She saw you collapse from exhaustion; it's not something inexplicable."

Fan Chenxin slowly opened her eyes, the embarrassment in her eyes gradually fading away.

"Ning'er, I keep telling myself that as long as I can stay by your side and protect you from harm, I shouldn't ask for anything else."

Jiang Yining took a clean outer robe and threw it in front of him.

"Put your clothes on first, then tell me what you've figured out."

Fan Chenxin caught the outer robe and did not try to grab her wrist again.

"I feel jealous when I see Lou Xiaotian helping you to enter the Green Wood Origin, and I also feel jealous when I see others getting close to you."

"It's better to admit you're jealous than to deceive yourself with Buddhist precepts."

"Will you hate me because of this?"

"I will despise behavior that disregards the wishes of others, but I will not despise you just because you have emotions and desires."

Fan Chenxin relaxed his shoulders and back slightly, and his fingers no longer gripped his robes tightly.

Jiang Yining stood up, but her tone did not soften.

"If you're jealous, you can say so, but you can't use protecting me as a reason to cross the line."

"This humble monk has remembered."

"And regarding matters within the forbidden zone, if you ever encounter a situation where only one person can survive, you must first tell me your escape route."

"What if there really is no way out?"

"Then let's fight our way out together. You're not allowed to decide for me who should stay."

Fan Chenxin lowered her eyes, buttoned her clothes, and responded softly.

"it is good."

Jiang Yining didn't continue to argue with him and turned to walk towards the outer cave.

Lou Xiaotian still had his eyes closed, but his chest was rising and falling more steadily than before.

Wu Bao squatted down beside the small stone bowl, while the Fire Spirit Falcon vigilantly guarded the rim of the bowl.

"Mother, April has already fed him two and a half times, why isn't Uncle Zhonghua opening his eyes yet?"

"He burned most of his original essence of green wood, and his heart meridian needs time to recover."

Jiang Yining took Lou Xiaotian's pulse.

The three main veins were still sealed by the vines she left behind, and the damaged heart veins did not continue to deteriorate.

Wu Bao carefully touched Lou Xiaotian's uninjured hand.

"After Uncle Zhonghua wakes up, will he forget to give April the tusks?"

Lou Xiaotian still didn't open his eyes, but his fingertips twitched very slightly.

Fan Chenxin stood behind Jiang Yining, her gaze falling on her slightly tired profile.

"Go to the inner cave to regulate your breathing first. April and I will guard this place."

"Although the poisonous veins in your wound have been removed, the penetrating wound has not yet healed."

"This humble monk may sit at the cave entrance to regulate his breathing and will no longer use the Buddha's blood without permission."

Jiang Yining turned around and glanced at him.

"If you truly remember what you said, you can stabilize my foundation in the Condensation Realm tonight."

Fan Chen was taken aback for a moment, then his gaze fell on her dantian.

"You agreed to let me protect your pulse?"

"You are only allowed to use one-tenth of your Buddhist breath to guide your Qi and blood; you are not allowed to forcibly suppress the lightning power for me."

"If my pulse becomes disordered, you must stop immediately."

"This humble monk agrees."

As night fell over the valley, the purple-blue light of Leichi shone into the stone cave.

Wu Bao, wrapped in a thin blanket, slept beside Lou Xiaotian, holding the Fire Spirit Falcon in his arms.

Jiang Yining first re-bandaged Fan Chenxin's wounds, and then fed Lou Xiaotian a pulse-protecting medicine.

Only after confirming that the injuries of the two men were temporarily stable did she return to the inner cave to recuperate.

Jiang Yining sat cross-legged on the stone platform, her long hair hanging down her back.

She closed her eyes and circulated the Myriad Spirits Divine Wood, the purple-gold primordial liquid in her dantian slowly rotating with her breath.

The residual lightning force would still occasionally strike the main vein, causing the newly generated primordial fluid to tremble slightly.

Fan Chenxin sat behind her, his palm resting on her lower back, just outside her main meridian, through her clothes.

"I will only infuse one-tenth of my Buddha's breath to draw away the lightning force that is about to strike your spine."

"Do not let the Buddha's breath touch the source of the green wood on the right side, where the qi and blood are not yet fully balanced."

"This humble monk will bypass it and only protect the outer part of the dantian."

Dark gold energy slowly flowed into his palm, touching the remaining lightning energy within Jiang Yining's body.

The two forces did not clash violently, but instead slowly diverged along the roots of the Myriad Spirits Tree.

Jiang Yining relaxed her shoulders and back slightly, and her long-tense meridians gradually calmed down.

"Buddha's breath is much more stable than before, it seems that the poison that rots bones has indeed been eradicated."

"You've been distracted by checking on this humble monk's injuries?"

"If I don't keep an eye on you, am I supposed to wait until you're poisoned before going back to rescue you?"

Fan Chenxin chuckled softly, but his breathing remained steady.

"Ning'er, you speak harsher now than before, but you are more reassuring than before."

"Speak less. If your breathing becomes disordered, the breath-transfer tonight will end here."

Fan Chenxin indeed stopped making a sound, only controlling her Buddhist breath outside the meridians she had designated.

After a long time, Wu Bao turned over in the outer cave.

"Mother, please don't go into that dangerous place again. April doesn't want to see you bleed."

Jiang Yining paused slightly in her movements of circulating qi and blood.

Fan Chenxin also withdrew the Buddhist energy from his palm, so as not to disturb the sleeping child.

"She was still afraid even after she fell asleep."

"So we must get back alive, we can't let her remember what happened today."

A low cough suddenly came from the outer cave.

Lou Xiaotian slowly opened his eyes, his blood-stained fingers gripping the edge of the stone platform.

"Ning'er, I saw that pitch-black array core in the Lou family ancestral hall."

Jiang Yining opened her eyes, and the purple-gold primordial liquid in her dantian completely settled down.

Lou Xiaotian looked at the lingering lightning outside the cave entrance, his voice still weak.

"It is the core of the trapping and killing formation that the Second Elder has kept for many years."
