“True Immortal Chiyun, although my mana can disperse the corpse poison,”
“once the poison has entered the heart meridians and Dantian, if I continue to expel the poison, I fear it might easily harm Fairy Qing Yi’s heart meridians and Dantian.”
After almost completely dispersing the poison in her forearm, Lu Changsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
“I can protect her heart meridians. Just go ahead and drive out the poison.”
Upon hearing this, True Immortal Chiyun immediately responded.
Although she could not expel the poison, she could temporarily suppress it and protect the vital signs of Chu Qingyi.
“Yes.”
Lu Changsheng nodded at her words.
But the next moment, his hand froze, and he looked towards True Immortal Chiyun.
“It’s alright. A healer has the heart of a parent. Han, my friend, you go ahead and expel the poison without worry.”
True Immortal Chiyun, understanding the implication, said solemnly.
“Yes.”
Only then did Lu Changsheng place his hand on her chest and continued to expel the poison with the Seven Luminaries Sword Qi.
Even though he was separated by her dress, Lu Changsheng could feel the woman’s skin was soft and delicate like condensed milk, with a faint fragrance lingering.
Yet he, a man who had been through hundreds of battles, read through a thousand scrolls.
Although Fairy Qing Yi was captivating, she was not enough to stir any wild thoughts in him.
“Not bad, it seems this Han is indeed a gentleman.”
True Immortal Chiyun watched Lu Changsheng seriously expelling poison from Chu Qingyi, nodding slightly to herself in admiration.
She knew well the charm her niece possessed.
Within the Qingyun Sect, there were countless disciples who adored her and longed for her affection.
Yet this Han, facing Chu Qingyi in such intimate healing, did not show the slightest bit of lewd expression.
“Sssssss—”
Threads of the Seven Luminaries Sword Qi penetrated through Lu Changsheng’s palm, entering the area around Chu Qingyi’s heart meridians, dispersing the corpse poison.
But this poison differed from the earlier one.
Like a vile disease clung to the bone, spreading throughout the meridians, corroding them.
Even the Seven Luminaries Sword Qi found it difficult to erase easily.
“Phew!”
After a while, Lu Changsheng withdrew his hand, exhaling deeply.
With the Profound Origin Bead, the consumption of his mana was naturally not that great.
But as a False Core Immortal was present, he also did not want to show too much of his power, easily driving out the corpse poison.
“True Immortal, my mana is also unable to completely eradicate this corpse poison; I can only remove the surface poison,”
Lu Changsheng said to True Immortal Chiyun.
He was not lying.
This corpse poison most likely entered the body through several wounds, congregating here like a disease clung to the bone, and then spreading and proliferating, making it troublesome.
Even he could not solve it in just a moment or two.
“It’s already enough that you could do this.”
“Thank you for your efforts, my friend Han. I have an Elixir Medicine here you can take to recover your mana,”
True Immortal Chiyun nodded, offering an elixir with a gentle tone.
She did not need to completely eliminate the corpse poison.
As long as Chu Qingyi’s life force remained and she lived to return to the Qingyun Sect, that would suffice.
Within the Qingyun Sect were Third Rank healers, pharmacists, and Spirit Pills, naturally confident in reviving Chu Qingyi.
“Thank you, True Immortal.”
Lu Changsheng nodded, recognizing the Elixir Medicine as a Second-tier Top Level Energy Restoring Elixir.
He immediately consumed it and quickly began to recover his mana.
After sitting in meditation for half an hour, he continued to expel poison from Chu Qingyi.
“Woof…”
At this time, Chu Qingyi moaned on the bed, her pale and weak face blushed slightly as a mouthful of black blood spewed out.
“Am… am I still alive?”
Chu Qingyi’s long, dense eyelashes trembled lightly, and she slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
She felt that after falling unconscious, she had plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.
During that time, she could feel waves of force trying to pull her out of the abyss.
But all to no avail.
Her consciousness was gradually fading.
Finally, it was the powerful and domineering Sword Qi moving within her body that cleaved through the darkness of the abyss and gradually woke her consciousness.
“Fairy Qing Yi, you’ve awakened.”
True Immortal Chiyun saw Chu Qingyi waking up and immediately showed a joyous expression.
“Phew!”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng also withdrew his hand from her chest, sighing lightly.
At that moment, Chu Qingyi became aware of the presence of a man with his hand on her chest.
A touch of blush immediately appeared on her pale face.
“Fairy Qing Yi, this Han has effective mana for expelling the poison, which is why he took such actions,”
True Immortal Chiyun spoke out to explain.
She was aware that her niece was pure and proud, typically keeping away from men.
Now, she found herself intimately close to a man, which naturally could be discomforting.
“Thank you, Daoist Han…”
Chu Qingyi nodded slightly.
She was not an unreasonable person.
She knew that such intimate contact was part of her treatment.
Had it not been for him, she might not have lived much longer.
But before she could finish speaking, another mouthful of black blood burst forth.
“Daoist Han.”
True Immortal Chiyun looked toward Lu Changsheng, signaling him to continue the poison expulsion.
“Fairy Qing Yi, pardon me.”
Lu Changsheng lifted his palm and spoke to Chu Qingyi.
Chu Qingyi, with a voice as soft as a mosquito’s murmur, gave a soft ‘Mmm’ and closed her eyes, lying quietly on the bed.
Her long, dense eyelashes fluttered like two small fans, constantly moving.
Clearly, she was extremely tense.
The next moment, she distinctly felt a warm hand land on her chest, causing her whole body to tense, her hands clenched into fists.
Her feet arched tightly inside her white jade boots, and all ten delicate toes were bunched together.
Then.
Silken strands of sharp and domineering Sword Qi entered her body, dispersing the corpse poison around her heart meridians.
