I forge immortality with a pagoda.

Shen Yu dared not delay and immediately summoned the Three Lights Jade.

Under his control, a pure and gentle blue aquatic light vein was separated and carefully wrapped around Yu Jingci's heart and lungs, forming a tough barrier.

Sensing the incoming aura, the wandering icy energy became agitated and began to violently attack the blue light veins.

However, both are water-based, and since the Three Lights Jade is a high-grade talisman, the Cold Fiend found it difficult to break through in a short time.

Shen Yu knew that this was only a temporary protection of his heart meridian; without eradicating the ice crystals, the Cold Fiend Poison would relapse.

With another thought, he activated the fire seed in his dantian, separating a stream of flame as condensed as a crimson jade belt, and slowly injected it into Jingci's body.

Wherever the fiery current passed, the wandering cold and malevolent energy melted away under the power of the supreme yang fire.

As time passed, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Shen Yu's forehead.

After two incense sticks had burned, most of the cold energy in Yu Jingci's body had been cleared, and her complexion had improved slightly.

However, those few ice crystals, deeply rooted in the vital points of the heart, remained completely still.

They are so closely intertwined with the heart and flesh that even the light veins of the Three Lights Jade cannot completely isolate them.

Shen Yu tried to control the flames to get closer, but immediately felt Yu Jingci's heart tremble violently and her blood rush backward, which frightened him so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.

"This is troublesome. If the root cause cannot be eliminated, the cold evil cannot be completely cured. However, with the current methods, as long as the ice crystal is moved, it will affect the heart and lungs. If one is not careful, the heart meridian will shatter, and it is not impossible to die on the spot."

Shen Yu was caught in a dilemma, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

The prolonged activation of the Three Lights Jade caused his divine sense to be greatly depleted, and it began to become somewhat scattered.

Taking advantage of this lull, the cold demons began to stir and showed signs of a counterattack.

"We can't delay any longer!"

Shen Yu steeled her heart and made a decision.

Yu Jingci's condition is extremely bad. If it is delayed any longer, even a celestial being would not be able to save her.

Rather than watching her life force be drained by the cold, it's better to take a risk!

Then, he forced the fire shuttle out of his dantian and slowly channeled it into Yu Jingci's heart meridian.

"Hmm~"

As the fire seed entered her body, the yang energy surged forth, and a rosy glow instantly spread across Yu Jingci's originally pale face, causing her body to tremble slightly.

The fire seed did not directly attack the ice crystal, but instead hovered beside Jingci's heart meridian. The surrounding faint vortex began to spin rapidly, and soon it was fully charged.

In the next instant, the whirlwinds surged, and the fire suddenly accelerated, striking the ice crystals with lightning speed.

The deeply rooted ice crystals instantly vaporized and vanished without a trace under this lightning-fast strike.

"It's a success!"

Shen Yu was overjoyed and breathed a long sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also a little scared. If it weren't for his cultivation of the Wind and Fire Technique, he wouldn't have had time to eliminate the root cause with pure fire magic.

He followed the same method, manipulating the fire to refine the other sources one by one in the same way.

As the last trace of the source of the cold evil was eliminated, Yu Jingci's expression gradually relaxed, her originally weak breathing became steady and long, and the cough that had tormented her for so long finally subsided completely.

Not long after, her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar young man standing before the bed, Yu Jingci couldn't help but look puzzled, asking blankly, "Who is this young friend? Xuanxiu, where is Xuanxiu?"

"Madam, I was entrusted by Senior Wang to come and treat your cold-related illness. Now that you have woken up, the cold-related illness in your body should have been expelled."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jingci was taken aback. She looked inward and indeed found that the Hidden Fiery Cold Poison that had plagued her for so long had vanished without a trace.

"It's really true... Young friend, you are truly a miraculous doctor. I will never forget your kindness."

As she spoke, she forced herself to get out of bed and bow in gratitude.

Shen Yu quickly stopped her, "Madam, there's no need for such formalities. I'm only doing this because I received a favor from Senior Wang."

"Madam! Madam!!"

As if they had heard Yu Jingci's voice, the three people outside the cave hurriedly ran over.

"Your cold-related illness is truly cured!!"

Wang Xuanxiu rushed to the bedside, tightly grasped Yu Jingci's hand, and his face lit up with joy, his old face flushed.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Yu, his eyes slightly red, and bowed deeply to Shen Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, your kindness in saving my life is tantamount to giving me a second chance. I, Wang Xuanxiu, hereby swear that I will obey your every command, even unto death!"

Xie Shiyuan followed suit, bowing deeply, "Many thanks to Senior Shen for saving my master's wife! I will forever remember your kindness!"

Liu Fengyi stood there stunned, her face flushed and paled alternately, her emotions extremely complicated.

She only snapped out of her daze when Xie Shiyuan quietly tugged at her sleeve.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Fengyi curtsied and said, "Senior Shen's Taoist magic is profound and beyond my comprehension. This time... I thank you for your help in saving my master's wife."

Recalling her previous rude words and actions, Liu Fengyi felt ashamed and lowered her head deeply, not daring to meet Shen Yu's gaze.

Shen Yu naturally didn't take the matter to heart, simply nodding slightly before shifting her gaze elsewhere.

Liu Fengyi felt a warmth in her heart when she realized that Shen Yu had not taken the opportunity to humiliate her. She bit her lip and silently stepped aside.

Seeing Wang Xuanxiu and Yu Jingci reunited, their affection palpable, Shen Yu knew it was inappropriate to disturb them, so he quietly left the cave.

About an hour later, Wang Xuanxiu emerged from the cave, his face still bearing a hint of joy.

To repay Shen Yu for his immense kindness in saving his Daoist partner, he not only gifted him all the Yangquanzhi he had painstakingly found, but also granted Shen Yu the special permission to freely enter and leave all parts of the Zhuchun Sect without prior notice.

In addition, he solemnly promised that Shen Yu could use the Gui-level spiritual vein within the Zhuchun Sect to cultivate at any time.

Shen Yu did not make any empty promises or refusals.

The path to immortality boils down to four things: "method, companion, location, and wealth".

Previously, in the Lujing Sect, due to factional strife, he did not open up a cave dwelling, which inevitably slowed down his cultivation progress.

Being able to cultivate using the spiritual veins of the Zhuchun Sect is naturally a very good thing for Shen Yu.

Having accepted the gift, Shen Yu did not linger any longer. After bidding farewell to Wang Xuanxiu, he went straight to the location of the spiritual vein, intending to push his cultivation to the sixth level of Qi Refining in one go!

Cui Qun Peak, located at the key point of the spiritual vein of the Zhu Chun Sect, is not as majestic and magnificent as the main peak, but its spiritual energy is even more concentrated and pure.

The Spring Serenity Cave where Shen Yu was located was where Wang Xuanxiu usually secluded himself for cultivation. Not only was it situated in a spiritual eye, but it also contained a sizable spirit-gathering array, which made the spiritual energy in the area almost liquid.

Shen Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, feeling the vast spiritual energy flowing into his body without any guidance, and gradually relaxed his brows.

The spiritual energy here is no less abundant than the elixirs he refined using the Xuanqiong Pagoda.

More importantly, this spiritual vein is naturally formed and inexhaustible, and even the Xuanqiong Pagoda cannot match it in terms of continuous supply.
