You, a tyrannical ruler, roam the heavens; you cannot understand my joy.

The three were incredibly fast, and even if Lu Zuo wanted to follow them, he couldn't catch up. He could only turn around, cup his hands in a fist salute, and say:

"Brother Chu, Brother Lin, Miss Huang."

"I have some important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

The three nodded, said "Take care, Brother Lu," and watched him disappear into the dense forest.

"Boss, who exactly is this Brother Lu?"

Chu Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "It should have some connection with the Southern Chen royal family."

"Oh?"

Lin Ruhai turned to look at him: "What do you mean by that?"

"When I first met him, although he was dressed simply, the boots he wore, in terms of design, material, and stitching, were all from the court."

"That's why I thought he was the old eunuch's lackey and almost got into a fight with him."

"Huh?" Lin Ruhai exclaimed in surprise, "Then if we contact him, wouldn't that mean...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Ye waved his hand and smiled faintly: "If that's really the case, then things will get interesting."

Chu Yunlong nodded: "Young masters from aristocratic families have always been arrogant and disdainful of ordinary people, and the royal family is even above aristocratic families!"

"And him..."

"Not only did he step forward to save the villagers, but he was also willing to drink and chat with us roughnecks. He was also so humble and easy-going..."

"Have you ever seen such royal scions or noble sons before?"

The two shook their heads together, but Lin Ruhai was still somewhat doubtful: "Boss, what if you guessed wrong?"

"Perhaps he's just an ordinary person?"

"Anyway, I don't really believe that those nobles would treat ordinary people like that."

Chu Yunlong smiled and said, "Look at his subordinates. Their cultivation is slightly better than yours. How could he be an ordinary person?"

"but……"

"Whether he is royalty, from a noble family, or a disciple from a prestigious lineage, it doesn't matter to me, Chu Yunlong."

"The important thing is, we all owe him our lives!"

At this point, Huang Ye's face instantly darkened, and he sighed softly, "But we can't repay him with our lives."

"Then let's find a way to help him, and give back whatever we can."

……

On the other side, Lu Zuo emerged from the dense forest and found a sheltered spot at the foot of the mountain.

He stood still, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on a blue stone: "This will do."

As he spoke, he walked over, sat down cross-legged, calmed his mind, focused his energy, and entered a state of complete self-forgetfulness, introspecting his entire body.

The so-called introspection is not about seeing clearly.

Rather, it is after advancing to the Innate Realm that one can use the Primordial Spirit to sense the inside and outside of the body.

As Lu Zuo's mind became more focused, a meridian diagram gradually appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, showing the twelve meridians symmetrically arranged and the eight extraordinary meridians intertwined within them.

Each meridian is covered with a dense array of tiny, dust-like blue substances.

After meditating for a while, Lu Zuo discovered that the blue substance on the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin was the smallest and its adhesion was not very strong.

Let's start with this.

The Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin governs the flow of Qi and blood, regulates Qi and blood, and has functions such as resisting external pathogens and cleansing away waste.

This meridian also corresponds to the Lung God Haohua and the Nose God Tonglu, representing the three departments, eight scenic spots, and twenty-four deities of Taoism.

It possesses the effects described in Taoist practices of "breathing in and exhaling vital energy to eliminate evil and impurities" and "controlling foul air to distinguish between pure and impure."

Prioritizing the elimination of toxins from this meridian can also help alleviate the anxiety of being threatened with death at midnight.

Once Lu Zuo made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and immediately used his primordial spirit to guide the true qi to his dantian, allowing it to flow along the meridians in strands.

Following the Ren meridian, passing through the Tanzhong point, penetrating the heart palace, and finally flowing into the middle jiao gateway of the Lung meridian of Hand-Taiyin.

On the meridian diagram in the sea of ​​consciousness, the lung meridian instantly radiated a layer of warm and gentle light.

Immediately, the gentle and harmonious innate true energy particles peeled away the blue substance and enveloped it.

As the blue substance peeled away, Lu Zuo's heart trembled violently, and he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his lung meridian!

but……

He was incredibly excited!

"It's done!"

"It worked!"

"These stubborn toxins can indeed be peeled off and removed!"

He held fast to his primordial spirit, continued to guide his true energy, and gradually peeled away the "most potent poison in the world".

After they are all enveloped by light particles, the primordial spirit is used as a guide to direct them to flow into the blood vessels and transport them to the Lianquan acupoint.

"Pfft!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zuo opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

But the blood wasn't red; it was a deep, bluish-purple color, and it hissed and emitted blue smoke as it hit the ground.

Lu Zuo quickly covered his mouth and nose, retreated, and walked back more than twenty feet before stopping.

"Fortunately, thankfully we didn't take the antidote in the palace, otherwise Shi Wenqing would have found out..."

"And... this feels so comfortable!"

At this moment, it was as if a huge boulder that had been pressing on his lungs had been completely removed, bringing forth an unprecedented sense of clarity and relief.

With each breath, the airflow becomes longer and more continuous, like a clear spring stream, seeping deep into the lungs and bringing a refreshing coolness.

He clenched his fist: "Your physical strength has also increased?"

"and……"

"Has the innate true energy become more refined and its circulation smoother?"

"It's only the first meridian that's been resolved, and it's already growing so much..."

"If all twenty meridians are unblocked, one's strength can almost increase..."

Lu Zuo made a rough estimate and came to a startling conclusion: "A full doubling!"

People are in high spirits when they have good news, especially since this product not only detoxifies but also unexpectedly enhances combat power, making people even happier and more excited.

But it was almost dawn, and the process of removing the poison had consumed a lot of Lu Zuo's true energy, so they had to stop for the time being.

I'll go out again tomorrow night to hone my skills and remove the deadly poison!

Once the death warrant from the King of Hell is completely lifted at midnight, that will be the time for Lu Zuo to break free from the control of those two bastards!

Lu Zuo changed direction, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure flew rapidly, heading straight for the dilapidated courtyard.

……

A little while later...

"Um?"

Lu Zuo stopped and looked at the woman in white lying on the grass, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Zhu Yuyan?"

This Yin Gui Sect enchantress was still as stunningly beautiful and alluring as ever, but her face was deathly pale and her breath was weak.

Her chest, soaked in blood, rose and fell slightly with each breath she took.

"The Yin Gui Sect still has a use for me."

"While I'm unsure of their intentions or whether we can achieve cooperation, at least we can use it for cultivation..."

"Moreover, saving a life will help with future cooperation."

Lu Zuo stepped forward, placed his hand on Zhu Yuyan's chest, and slowly channeled innate true energy into her.

He didn't know any methods of healing with true qi; he could only help her clear the blockages in her triple burner and restore the circulation of true qi in her body to normal.

But that's enough.

Once the three jiaos were unblocked, the small and large circulations within Zhu Yuyan's body returned to normal, and she awoke from her coma.

"Um?"

"Who are you……?"
