The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 45 The Primordial Spirit is Injured, The Return Journey (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes for continued reading)

"The physical injuries are not a problem, but there is a Dao injury in the primordial spirit, which will hinder cultivation and enlightenment."

As Taiyi spoke, he took out various spiritual herbs he carried with him, using either the power of fire or the power of water to process them and refine them into medicinal liquid. The yin and yang complemented each other, and the techniques were as smooth as flowing water.

Not to mention the four people from Zhu You, even the Li Ling clan was quite surprised.

Yu Zhen was both surprised and delighted: "Brother Taiyi actually knows how to refine medicine!"

Tai Yi smiled and said, "I know a little!"

It spans three eras: the Heavenly Emperor, the Earthly Emperor, and the Human Emperor. Even with two chaotic eras in between, the time span is still thousands of epochs, which translates to hundreds of millions of primordial years.

The myriad spiritual herbs and divine medicines of the primordial world each have their own wondrous uses; how could no one not study and refine them for cultivation or healing?

As for elixirs, Taiyi had never heard of them before.

However, he had more than just the skills to prepare and refine medicines.

After refining the medicinal liquid and having Huikui take it, he took out fine needles made of spirit wood and inserted them into Huikui's acupoints. He then used the Five Dragons Life-Extending Technique to stimulate and regulate Huikui's physical functions, accelerating the absorption and effectiveness of the medicinal liquid.

Hui Kui Shi immediately felt his physical injuries rapidly lessening, and exclaimed with delight, "Brother Taiyi, what amazing skills!"

"What kind of method is this? I've never seen anything like it before!"

Yu Zhen asked.

"The Method of Acupuncture Points!"

This wasn't the first time Tai Yi had demonstrated it; he had used it in the Tai tribe before.

However, now that he has become a god, coupled with his understanding of the physical body and his comprehension of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, his Five Dragons Daoist Techniques have become more and more refined, and their power is now different.

A moment later, Huikui's physical injuries were healed. After obtaining permission, Taiyi looked at Huikui's primordial spirit with bright eyes. He saw a hideous wound on the left shoulder of Huikui's primordial spirit, which was surrounded by demonic energy and had flashing light, preventing the wound from healing.

If it weren't for the fact that Hui Kui himself already possessed the cultivation of a god-level being to suppress it, his primordial spirit would likely have been continuously eroded by this wound, eventually leading him to become a demon.

He was no stranger to the Heavenly Demon Taiyi Clan. He had previously used the Innate Five-Colored Divine Light to obliterate many Heavenly Demons. After pondering for a moment, he took various spiritual herbs to refine the medicine. In the end, he even took the Innate True Yang Divine Water obtained from the Yunyang Clan as the medicinal guide.

After drinking it, Huikui felt warm all over, and then his primordial spirit felt a burning sensation. The wound on his primordial spirit was filled with golden light, and the wisps of demonic energy were refined by the golden light until they disappeared completely. Even the Dao light in the wound was suppressed and dimmed.

This method shocked him once again.

Dao injuries are the most difficult to deal with.

Although Dong Sang was beaten to the point of barely clinging to life a year ago, his condition was much easier to treat than it is now.

If the Dao injury is not eradicated from the Dao within and without the body, the injury will never be healed.

Unfortunately, the demon who left him with the Dao injury was slightly more powerful than him, so much so that he himself could not completely resolve the injury.

Now, with just one bowl of medicine, his Dao injury has been completely suppressed. How could he not be shocked?

Seeing that the medicine was effective, Taiyi nodded in satisfaction, then took out a series of gold needles and inserted them into acupoints on Huikui's head.

It's just that his understanding of the primordial spirit is far less thorough than that of the physical body; otherwise, he would have asked Huikui to directly send his primordial spirit out of his body so he could insert needles into it.

Even so, seeing Hui Kui's head covered in golden needles, Zhu You and the others couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

After administering acupuncture, Taiyi immediately began performing Taoist magic.

Five Dragons Golden Light Technique, Five Dragons Life-Extending Technique, Five Dragons Water Purification Technique, Five Dragons Evil-Burning Technique, Five Dragons Earth-Suppressing and Soul-Calming Technique!

Beams of divine light descended, enveloping Huikui and protecting his physical body and primordial spirit.

"Brother Huikui, there will be some intense pain later, please bear with it for now."

Taiyi solemnly replied.

Hui Kui nodded: "Brother Dao, please proceed with your actions!"

Then, under the gaze of Li Ling and the others, the five-colored divine light from Tai Yi's chest flew out and entered Hui Kui's brow, going straight into his Purple Mansion and enveloping Hui Kui's primordial spirit. Then, the divine light gathered on the wound on the primordial spirit like flowing water, and then continuously washed away and wore down the Dao light in the wound.

In an instant, excruciating pain from the depths of his consciousness swept over his body and mind. Even though Hui Kui was prepared, he couldn't help but look ferocious and break out in a cold sweat.

Even so, he gritted his teeth without uttering a sound.

Zhu You and the others' eyelids twitched as they watched.

Is this really just a little bit of pain?

In reality, whether it's herbal medicine, the Five Dragons Taoist arts, or acupuncture, their main purpose is to protect and stabilize the primordial spirit of the Huikui clan, so that it won't collapse when the Dao light is extinguished.

"That was still a bit too rough."

Taiyi pondered, "Should I perhaps study the demonic path?"

"We'll inevitably run into them in the future; what if one day we're targeted by a demon..."

Suddenly, he regretted killing those demons so swiftly and decisively.

We should leave a few to dissect and try.

One hour later.

Taiyi withdrew his magic, and Huikui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He feared that if he continued, he would not be able to hold on and his primordial spirit would dissipate.

However, the effect was excellent, and the Dao injury has been completely healed!

"Gentlemen, I am on my way back to the Longmen Mountains. Why don't we come together?"

Taiyi extended an invitation.

It is worth mentioning that the rejection of the four members of the Huikui clan by the demigods of Mount Tai was largely due to him.

Both Zhu You and Yun Hong were moved by what they heard, and the former was even more reminded of what their ancestor Zhu Xiang had said before.

Immediately, Zhu You bowed gracefully to Tai Yi and said, "If you do not despise me, Brother Dao, I am willing to follow you."

However, he had already decided to follow Taiyi to the Longmen Mountains.

Yun Hong then cupped his hands and said, "Me too!"

Taiyi smiled and nodded, then looked at Huikui and Yuzhen.

Hui Kui said apologetically, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I cannot abandon my tribe and simply leave."

Taiyi nodded and smiled, "I understand. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to give it up either."

"If you ever need anything in the future, please feel free to send me a message."

Zhu You and Yun Hong nodded in unison.

Concealing his sorrow, Hui Kui laughed loudly, "Don't worry, if you need anything, I won't hesitate!"

Finally, everyone looked at Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen hesitated, glanced at Hui Kui Shi, and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Taiyi, but I would also like to stay."

Zhu You and Yun Hong were taken aback, somewhat surprised, but Tai Yi understood and did not insist.

In the following days, Taiyi visited Yunyang and other friendly innate beings and innate gods and demons to bid them farewell.

Having collected quite a few "local specialties," Taiyi finally embarked on his journey home that day.

It was the same carriage frame, and the same two divine birds, but this time only Zhu Xiangshi was escorting it.

When they arrived, there were only Taiyi and Liling, but when they returned, they had four more people with them.

Zhu You, Yun Hong, and a woman and a man sent by Weng Yi and Xin Yunzi.

The former, Yi Qing, was a demigod, a descendant of Weng Yi, who had cultivated the five internal organs and achieved godhood.

The latter was a pure human who had just cultivated the Five Internal Organs God and was called Wu Changshi.
