The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The craftsman looked up to the sky and roared with immense joy. He watched the talisman for the salvation of life gradually burn out, wiped his face, and his eyes glistened with tears.

"It's done, it's done, little girl, you really have a lot of potential. Your strange fire tempering technique isn't the most refined I've ever seen, but it's the most spiritual and effective one I've ever seen."

Su Mu and Du Shao breathed a sigh of relief. Upon hearing this, they exchanged a smile and nodded in agreement.

After countless failures, the elixir was finally successfully refined, successfully dissolving the demonic body while preserving the three souls and seven spirits within the demonic fetus, thus freeing those people.

The most crucial element is Xia Tianwu's tempering. Without her, even if Lin Du brought back that pool of holy water, it would be useless.

Xia Tian simply smiled in the face of these praises, "But without the meticulous dissection skills and understanding of these rare medicinal materials of the craftsmen, as well as the help of Senior Su and Fellow Daoist Du in the theory of spiritual medicine, we wouldn't have been able to do this job."

"Are all disciples of major sects so intolerant of praise?" Quan Jiangren glanced at her. "While young people shouldn't be arrogant or complacent, they also shouldn't be too humble. All you do is offer empty platitudes."

"Alright, alright, now that we've succeeded, are you going to hold a big meeting? Let me make this clear: don't mention my name, and don't ask me to go. Just pretend I don't exist and that I wasn't involved."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. "I'm going to organize the medicinal herbs so that it will be easier to produce them in large quantities later. I'll draw up a list for you."

Xia Tian's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. He turned and smiled at Su Mu, sincerely thanking them before escorting them to the villa arranged by Jun Ding Mansion to rest.

Once everything was settled, she turned around and saw the grand feast in the courtyard.

Dressed in red, with a slender and upright figure, she was enveloped in the darkness, like a beautiful flower growing in the River Styx, which is said to be able to dissolve the human body, exuding a tenacious vitality that had struggled out of death.

"Fellow Daoist Sheng, haven't you rested yet?"

Summer's smile was gentle and shallow. She didn't smile often, but when she did, it was truly beautiful, like a night-blooming cereus suddenly blooming at dawn, a moment that was also eternal.

"Hmm." Sheng Yan, seeing her clearly in high spirits, spoke, "Congratulations on successfully developing a method to save the artificial demons?"

She knew that the Supreme Sect hadn't deliberately avoided her these past few days.

Xia Tian nodded, "Thanks to Quan Jiangren as our guide. His expertise is something we rarely cover. He researched the main body of the plan, as well as the medicinal materials and pathological structures."

She laughed and said, "It also taught me that sometimes being too rigid isn't a good thing."

"For us medical practitioners, it's best to do our best to save lives without harming others."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yan repeated, "Is it really about saving people?"

Xia Tian thought for a moment, "Quan Jiangren is unruly. It is rumored that he can change hearts, even dantian, and heads. He can save one life but also lose another. But in fact, most of his bodies are unintelligent demon beasts or demon cultivators with high cultivation but who do evil."

"It can't be said that his actions were entirely right. For us spiritual practitioners, all beings are equal, and human life is not superior to that of demons and beasts. However, he was not as terrible as we imagine, nor as...disregardful of the lives of others."

"However, there is another problem in this regard. Although a master craftsman can control himself from using other people's things, it does not mean that others and people who want to cure their illnesses cannot. When people are desperate, they will try anything. If they have this method, they will definitely cause harm uncontrollably. This is why this kind of technique is an unorthodox method rather than a legitimate one."

Sheng Yan nodded. "You're absolutely right."

Xia Tianwu, or rather, everyone in the Wushang Sect, was very clear-headed; they were clearly well-educated righteous cultivators.

Although they always acted unusually and seemed somewhat unlike righteous disciples, their beliefs were truly pure and upright.

"You must have heard of his reputation beforehand, so why would you want to cooperate with a heretical cultivator in the eyes of the world? You were even attacked by outsiders because of this, and there are still criticisms against you to this day."

The feast was truly intriguing, after all, even if the truth might not be as the rumors suggested, the outcome was certain.

Xia Tian did not shake his head. "Yes, we don't completely trust him either, so we won't cooperate unless absolutely necessary. If we do cooperate, we will keep him within a controllable range and absolutely prevent any accidents from happening."

"So... what kind of person is he in your eyes?" Sheng Yan asked.

Xia Tian pondered for a moment, paused, and then said, "In terms of witchcraft, he is the best of this era. I didn't know when he was young, but now he has a clear self-awareness and is very clear-headed. He is afraid of tarnishing our reputation and insists that we not publicize his contributions in this matter."

"Merit is merit, and fault is fault. I don't know his past, but in my eyes he has merit now. It is said that a gentleman judges by his deeds, not his intentions. If you judge by his deeds, then he must have made mistakes."

She looked at the feast, "This is my answer."

Sheng Yan smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you."

Summer's lack of an answer was, in fact, what she wanted most.

Fair, objective, and without any advice or personal bias.

"The people of your Supreme Sect are truly wonderful," Sheng Yan said sincerely.

Summer spoke softly and silently, "I'm just answering my own thoughts. You're a very good person too. Some things are just a battle between reason and law."

"Just like witchcraft, the intention is to save people, but the intention is to harm them."

"But my junior uncle once said that many times, things that are beyond our control may seem good to outsiders, but they are actually bad for us. When they lead to tragedy, people will only blame the individual, not the thing itself."

"That's roughly why witch doctors are despised by the times."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know why this came up; it just popped into my head out of nowhere."

She probably remembered this sentence because she finally accomplished something great with the strange fire today.

Even her master once thought that the reason she couldn't control the strange fire and caused the explosion was because she hadn't cultivated it properly.

Even she doubted that it was her own fault, but only Lin Du said that it was a problem with the strange fire, not with the person.

The witch doctor once enjoyed great popularity, but was eventually rejected by the times because of the endless stream of bad things that could not be controlled by the witch doctor and went against his original intentions.

"I think you're right too." Sheng Yan laughed. "Knowing that my biological father wasn't so terrible, I don't feel anything anymore."

When we are young, we always harbor resentment, but as we grow up, time eventually wears us down and we become more at peace. There are not that many knots in this world, and people should not be trapped by themselves.

The two of them looked up at the moon overhead at the same time.

Today is a full moon.

Han Yueling lay sprawled on the roof, her body as thin as a sheet, comfortably absorbing the moonlight.

"Ah~ the moon~ so comfortable!"

On the other side, after receiving the news, Lin Du finally stepped out of the library and was met with his master's resentful face.

"After you're done with your work, you'd rather stay in the library for seven days than come back to apologize to me. What can I do to you?"

Yan Ye raised his voice, startling Lin Du.

"Is it possible?" Lin Du touched his ear. "I'm really busy. Let me explain."

Yan Ye stood there with a cold expression, "I won't listen."

Lin Du crossed his arms. "I've discovered a shocking secret. Do you want to hear it?"

Yan Ye coughed lightly, "Tell me more."
