Chu Wanqing immediately pulled out the cork and used her soul perception to reach deep into the bottle, her face then revealed a hint of shock.

Inside the bottle was an eighth-grade, nine-color pill. Although she was not an alchemist, she was still able to identify the grade of pills. She would never make a mistake with such a pill.

Chu Wanqing quickly recovered her composure, shook her head slightly, and said with a hint of emotion, "I never thought that the master could refine an eighth-grade nine-colored elixir at such a young age. The word 'monstrous' can no longer be used to describe this."

She bowed slightly, her tone apologetic: "If I have offended you before, it was my careless negligence. I hope you don't take it to heart."

At this time, Chu Wanqing's tone became more serious. A pharmacist who could refine such a pill was already on par with a semi-saint like her. In terms of influence, Xiao Ling, as a pharmacist, might even surpass her.

If Xiao Ling spread the news that he could refine the eighth-grade nine-color elixir, countless powerful people would probably flock to become Xiao Ling's followers like bees smelling the fragrance of flowers.

Xiao Ling waved his hand and said calmly, "Sister Qing, you are too kind. I just have some talent in alchemy and a bit of luck. As for before, Sister Qing did not offend me. I really enjoyed your kindness and friendliness."

He looked at Chu Wanqing with clear eyes, without the slightest arrogance or complacency. "Although this eighth-grade nine-color elixir is rare, I have only achieved a little success in the process of constantly exploring the art of alchemy. There is still a long way to go in the future. How dare I be complacent with this little achievement?"

Although Xiao Ling still had a calm expression on his face, he felt quite happy in his heart. He was used to seeing passers-by being shocked, but when a semi-saint like Chu Wanqing showed shock, he felt a different kind of satisfaction. This feeling of satisfaction quietly spread in his heart, making him feel a little happy.

Seeing that Xiao Ling's reaction was not fake, Chu Wanqing admired him even more. In this world where the strong are respected, it is rare to have such achievements without being arrogant or impatient. His future achievements are definitely limitless.

"Since you said so, I won't be so polite. If you need help in the future, just come to me, Sister Qing." Chu Wanqing smiled and nodded, her eyes full of sincerity.

Being able to make friends with such a young man with unlimited potential is undoubtedly a good thing with only benefits for himself and Yin Gu.

"If I need help, I will naturally take the initiative to ask Sister Qing for help." Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly and responded with a relaxed expression.

Then, he changed the subject and his tone became serious: "However, the most urgent thing is to treat Sister Qing's injuries first. As for other matters, it won't be too late to discuss them later."

When Chu Wanqing heard Xiao Ling's words, her expression straightened up, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn look. "That's right, from now on, it all depends on you, Xiao Ling. How should I cooperate?"

She knew very well that her injuries should not be underestimated, and the young man in front of her might be the key to her recovery.

"We have to find a secret room where we won't be disturbed first. Then I will use the strange fire to help you, Sister Qing, refine the medicinal power of the elixir and help you fully recover from your injuries." Xiao Ling nodded slightly and said after a moment of thought.

"In that case, I'll follow your arrangements." Chu Wanqing responded without hesitation, and then looked at Su Li, "Su Li girl, you just stay outside. If anything happens, I will inform you in time."

"Understood, Grand Elder." Su Li responded respectfully, with a hint of worry and expectation in her eyes.

Chu Wanqing nodded slightly and stood up lightly from the reef. After nodding at Xiao Ling, she walked forward and took Xiao Ling to a secret room.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling followed closely behind. Under the sunlight, the two of them cast long shadows in the courtyard.

As they gradually went away, the atmosphere around them seemed to become quiet and solemn.

Su Li stood there quietly, watching the two people leave.

She could only clasp her hands together and pray silently in her heart: "I hope Master Xiao Ling can help the Grand Elder recover from his injuries smoothly this time..."

……

Inside the secret room, the surrounding walls shimmered with a faint luster, and there seemed to be a strange energy flowing through it, completely isolating this place from the outside world and ensuring that there would not be any disturbance.

Chu Wanqing sat cross-legged on the cushion in the center of the secret room, her expression serene, like a lotus blooming in the quiet night. She closed her eyes slightly, and her originally peaceful aura became more restrained, as if she had merged with the secret room. She was adjusting her state at this moment, preparing for the upcoming healing process.

"I'm ready, Xiao Ling, how should I cooperate with you?" After Chu Wanqing adjusted her own state, she looked at Xiao Ling firmly, with trust and inquiry in her eyes.

"Sister Qing, just take out the pill and swallow it. I will use the strange fire to help you completely refine the medicinal power later." Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his expression calm and confident, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.

Immediately, Xiao Ling's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and he changed the subject, reminding: "By the way, Sister Qing, when you use the strange fire to refine the medicinal power, it is very likely that your clothes will be burned. You have to be mentally prepared. If you feel it is inappropriate, we will consider other methods."

Xiao Ling was unsure. Although Chu Wanqing was a semi-saint, he was not sure if she could ensure that her clothes would not be burned when the strange fire entered her body. In Xiao Ling's opinion, this possibility was not high. So it was better to inform her in advance to avoid an embarrassing situation.

As he spoke, Xiao Ling's hands kept moving. With extremely fast and covert methods, he stored Xiao Diao's Bone Inflammation Ring and Ancestral Stone into the system space, and instructed them to study the matter about the Pure Yuan Treasure.

When Chu Wanqing heard Xiao Ling's reminder, she was slightly startled at first, and a barely perceptible blush flashed across her face. The blush was like the sunset in the sky, spreading across her fair cheeks.

Over the years, Chu Wanqing has been devoted to cultivation. When it comes to matters between men and women, she is a complete blank slate and has never dabbled in them.

Yin Valley has always been a secluded place, and most of the disciples in the valley are female. In such an environment, the years passed slowly, and Chu Wanqing had never even touched a man's hand.

At this moment, hearing that she might be naked in front of a man, her heart was inevitably stirred at first, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged into her heart.

However, she was a semi-saint after all, and her strong self-control and calm state of mind allowed her to quickly regain her composure.

A gleam of determination flashed in her eyes, and she put all those messy thoughts behind her and focused on the most important matter of healing.

"I understand, Xiao Ling, you don't have to worry, I will be ready." Chu Wanqing's voice was steady and calm, as if the trace of shame just now had never appeared.

She knew in her heart that the strange fire entering her body was of great significance, and her injuries depended entirely on this opportunity, so she must not be delayed by this little episode.

Although she knew that the strange fire entering her body might bring the risk of her clothes being burned, Chu Wanqing had no intention of taking off her clothes in advance. To her, taking the initiative to do this in front of a young man was simply an unimaginable shameful act.

"Sister Qing, since you are ready, let's start." Xiao Ling nodded solemnly, his eyes firm and focused, as if everything around him had disappeared.

Chu Wanqing nodded slightly, and then her slender fingers moved slightly, and a storage ring emerged. In the flashing light of the storage ring, she took out the Lingyuan Fuheng Pill that Xiao Ling had given her before.

In an instant, as soon as the pill was exposed to the air, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have received some kind of summons and began to gather towards it rapidly, with a faint sign of changing shape.

But Chu Wanqing did not hesitate at all. She just raised her jade hand slightly, and with a slight movement, an invisible force instantly wrapped the pill. The pill turned into a stream of light and flew into her mouth. In a flash, she swallowed it.

The pill melted in her mouth, and the powerful medicinal power began to surge in her body like a surging tide. Chu Wanqing hurriedly closed her eyes and concentrated, preparing to deal with the impact of this powerful medicinal power.

However, the medicinal properties of Lingyuan Fuheng Pill are extremely special and cannot be absorbed and refined by ordinary means.

After the pill entered her stomach, the powerful medicinal power was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running rampant and wreaking havoc in Chu Wanqing's body.

Even though Chu Wanqing possessed the body of a semi-saint, she still felt tremendous pressure at this moment. Her body trembled slightly, and beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead.

Chapter 386 Unexpected Discovery

Under the impact and influence of the elixir's energy wave after wave, Chu Wanqing's body seemed to be in a world of ice and fire.

On the one hand, the vitality contained in the medicine was nourishing her damaged body, bringing an indescribable feeling of comfort, just like a sweet rain welcoming the dry earth;

On the other hand, the overly powerful energy impacted her meridians and internal organs, bringing her pain like a knife cutting, and every inch of her skin seemed to be burned by fire.

Under the impact of the elixir's powerful energy, every inch of Chu Wanqing's skin flushed slightly, as delicate and beautiful as a blooming peach blossom.

Her body trembled slightly, and her waist twisted gently like a willow in the wind, showing a seductive posture. From her slightly opened red lips, she let out a moan like a nightingale, and her blushing face added a bit of charm, and every breath brought endless temptation.

"The drug's effects are starting to spread."

Xiao Ling said in a low voice, his eyes becoming focused in an instant.

The erotic scene of Chu Wanqing in front of him, presented by the impact of the drug, did not distract Xiao Ling at all. He knew clearly that this was the critical moment for him to take action.

Xiao Ling quickly formed seals with both hands, and an invisible and colorless flame gradually emerged in his palms. Although this Fallen Heart Flame was not the most powerful of the strange fires that Xiao Ling had subdued, it had an unparalleled effect in purifying energy and tempering the human body, an advantage that no other strange fire could match.

Under Xiao Ling's guidance, the Fallen Heart Flame was like a lively elf, floating lightly towards Chu Wanqing and gently covering her body.

Immediately afterwards, under Xiao Ling's exquisite control, the invisible and colorless Fallen Heart Flame slowly penetrated into Chu Wanqing's body along the texture of her skin.

As soon as the Fallen Heart Flame entered Chu Wanqing's body, the intense burning sensation swept towards her like a surging wave, and Chu Wanqing reacted immediately.

Her willow-like brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was enduring great pain, or as if she was resisting this sudden stimulation.

The moaning sound that was originally suppressed in the throat became more intense at this moment. The sound was like a clear spring leaping in the mountains, hitting the rocks and making crisp and pleasant echoes, each sound carried a heart-throbbing rhythm.

Those slightly trembling lips, with an alluring luster, are like ripe cherries, delicate and tempting, making people want to kiss them.

During this process, Chu Wanqing's clothes gradually turned into ashes under the scorching heat of the Falling Heart Flame. The clothes that originally covered her delicate body fluttered away like fragile butterfly wings, revealing large areas of snow-white skin.

The two plump breasts under Chu Wanqing's fair neck were full of charm as they trembled slightly. They seemed to be carved from the finest mutton-fat jade, round and straight, shaking with the rise and fall of her breathing, creating dazzling waves.

Her slender waist, which can be held in one hand, is like a willow branch swaying in the spring breeze, outlining an imaginative curve. There are still faint red marks on her skin caused by the impact of the medicine, just like red plum blossoms blooming on the snow, adding a bit of beauty.

Further down, there is a pair of long, straight beautiful legs, flawless, like beautiful jade pillars, emitting charming luster under the interweaving of light and shadow. Every line seems to be the most perfect masterpiece of God, interweaving an ultimate temptation, making the whole secret room seem to be filled with this fragrant breath.

Although Xiao Ling's mind was a little flustered, he quickly calmed down. He knew very well that he must not be distracted at this moment. If he made a mistake, the consequences would be disastrous. So, his eyes became more determined, and he continued to control the Fallen Heart Flame with full concentration.

When the strange fire entered her body, she felt like tens of thousands of poisonous snakes were gnawing at her body. Even though Chu Wanqing had the powerful cultivation of a semi-saint, she couldn't help but frowning her willow-like eyebrows under the burning of such a terrifying strange fire. She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, almost bleeding. It was obvious that she was in great pain.

If Xiao Ling had not controlled the Fallen Heart Flame so meticulously, and instead allowed a complete strange fire to burn wildly in her body, even though Chu Wanqing had reached the level of a semi-saint, she would have been severely injured and her life would have been in danger.

At this moment, Xiao Ling closed his eyes tightly, and his hands quickly changed seals. The surging soul power was like a rushing river, constantly flowing out from his brows. His mind was completely immersed in Chu Wanqing's body, carefully sensing every change of the strange fire and the medicinal power in her body.

However, at the moment when Xiao Ling probed his soul perception into Chu Wanqing's body, his pupils involuntarily shrank slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

Because, in Xiao Ling's perception, Chu Wanqing's seemingly flawless body was already in chaos. Her body should have been full of vitality and in good order, but now it was covered with scars. The meridians were in disarray and broken in many places, and the entire internal condition was horrible.

There was a black energy body in her lower abdomen, which continued to absorb Dou Qi from Chu Wanqing's body, while releasing a compound toxin that was a fusion of multiple types of toxins. This toxin was extremely corrosive, wreaking havoc in Chu Wanqing's body and corroding her healthy body.

It was hard to imagine what kind of vicious and cruel attack Chu Wanqing had suffered to end up in such a miserable state. If she hadn't relied on her powerful cultivation at the semi-saint level to suppress it with all her strength, her body would have turned into a pool of blood.

Even though this complex toxin has been temporarily suppressed, it is not difficult to imagine that Chu Wanqing is constantly suffering from severe pain that is unbearable for ordinary people, and every moment is simply torture.

Xiao Ling tried to use a wisp of soul power to contact the energy body in Chu Wanqing's lower abdomen. In an instant, he sensed an extremely crazy, violent and greedy will emanating from it.

This will has no ability to think independently; it simply acts according to imposed instincts, with the purpose of maintaining its own existence and constantly strengthening itself.

It can be said that becoming stronger has become its obsession. Once its power increases, it will begin to destroy Chu Wanqing's body bit by bit until it is completely destroyed.

After noticing this situation, Xiao Ling had a rough guess in his mind. This might be the last blow made by a powerful person before his death, and he injected a ray of his own thoughts into it.

In order to cause such a huge trouble to Chu Wanqing, who is a high-level semi-saint, the caster's strength must at least reach the semi-saint level, otherwise it would be impossible to cause such serious harm to Chu Wanqing.

His thoughts only lasted for a moment, and Xiao Ling forced himself to stop the complicated speculations in his mind. No matter which strong man attacked Chu Wanqing, it didn't matter at the moment. The most urgent task was to help Chu Wanqing refine the medicinal power smoothly and eliminate the hidden dangers in her body.

Xiao Ling took a deep breath, his eyes were extremely focused, and he immersed himself in controlling the Falling Heart Flame. He quickly changed seals with his hands, and under his exquisite control, a ball of Falling Heart Flame gradually transformed into a large flame net woven by the Falling Heart Flame.

This huge flaming net accurately enveloped the source of the toxin in Chu Wanqing's lower abdomen. In a very short time, it tightly wrapped the source of the toxin, cutting off its connection with the outside world and preventing it from releasing the complex toxin to the outside.

Soon, the trapped source of toxins realized that it was in a desperate situation and began to become violently agitated. In a state of near madness, it continued to release a large amount of compound toxins. These compound toxins gathered in large quantities, surging and spreading around in waves, launching fierce attacks on the flame net again and again, trying to break free.

However, the Fallen Heart Flame used by Xiao Ling had a strong restraining power against this compound toxin. Whenever the compound toxin touched the flame net, it would be quickly burned by the flame. The flame net firmly held the defense line, without any toxin leakage, and controlled the deadly threat within the net.

After dealing with the source of the poison, Xiao Ling then guided the strands of Fallen Heart Flame. His movements were extremely cautious, carefully allowing the Fallen Heart Flame to avoid the severely damaged meridians in Chu Wanqing's body, and then began to use the Fallen Heart Flame to channel the abnormally surging medicinal power.

As the Fallen Heart Flame continued to work, the medicinal power in Chu Wanqing's body began to undergo new changes. The energy that was originally like a surging flood gradually became docile and no longer so violent and uncontrollable.

The efficacy of Lingyuan Fuheng Dan is not only to treat injuries, but more importantly, it can purify harmful substances in the body of the practitioner. This is where its medicinal effect is most powerful.

Under Xiao Ling's exquisite guidance, these energies began to spread in Chu Wanqing's body.

Not only did they gradually heal the wounds caused by the toxin corrosion in Chu Wanqing's body, but with the assistance of the strange fire, these purifying energies were able to very quickly remove the remaining toxins in Chu Wanqing's body.

Those corrosive toxins that were like maggots attached to the bones were being gradually cleared away bit by bit under the dual effects of the strange fire and the purifying energy.

However, the black energy body in the lower abdomen seemed to sense the threat and began to struggle frantically, releasing more complex toxins in an attempt to break through the defense line set up by Xiao Ling.

But Xiao Ling remained calm, he increased the output of soul power, stabilizing the formation of the Fallen Heart Flame. As the two came into contact, the Fallen Heart Flame and the poison started a fierce battle, making a "sizzling" sound, and a pungent smell suddenly filled the air.

While preventing the poison from spreading further, Xiao Ling did not stop. He continued to do two things at once, controlling the Fallen Heart Flame while guiding the medicinal effects of the purifying power to expel the toxins from Chu Wanqing's body.

As the toxins were gradually removed and the injuries on her body were gradually healed with the help of the medicine, Chu Wanqing's face began to show subtle changes. Her frown gradually relaxed, as if the dark clouds had dissipated, revealing a clear sky.

The pearly teeth that had been clenched slowly relaxed, the red lips slightly opened, and a breath of foul air was exhaled, as if exhaling years of troubles and pain.
