As the jeers of the people resounded in Luo Jun's ears, causing his face to warp in maniacal rage, and the clash between the three grand elders of two different factions reached its apex in another place in the sect called the Medicine Hall, two people were currently staying inside a single room—one lying down in a bed made for patients, while the other remained standing and was surrounded by multiple others staring in awe at a great golden light that shone with a powerful light of purification.
A few Nascent Profound elders of the Medicine Hall stared at the scene, their gazes filled with disbelief as they struggled to contain their breathing.
"The young miss' Purple Rose Poison is disappearing from within her body!"
"This golden light has such a potent power of purification! Do you think it's possible that he can cure Grand Elder Qiao Feng?"
"You mean Young Miss Qiao Fenyi's father? I doubt it... Even if this golden light of his is so potent, the poison placed on Grand Elder Qiao Feng was inflicted by Luo Shang, a powerful individual even among people who have reached the True Profound Realm, there must be a limit even to his abilities no?"
Suddenly, both of the people who spoke felt a smack on their heads as one of the more senior Nascent Profound Realm elders spoke in a chastising tone.
"Shut up! The both of you! Do you think the young master can focus on his job if the both of you keep on making noise? Keep your mouths shut so he can focus!"
With those words, the rest of the elders instantly shut up, their expressions comically innocent as they collectively nodded their heads.
It was quite obvious that the two people who were currently gathering so much attention were Huang Shi and Qiao Fenyi. Right now, Qiao Fenyi was lying on a bed within the confines of the Medicine Hall, with her eyes closed as a golden light surrounded her body completely.
It's going to take a while to completely get rid of this poison from Fenyi's body... at least three days.
I'm pretty sure that three days later will be the exact day that the Azure Dragon Sect martial arts competition will begin.
Meaning within the next three days of me staying here to help cure Fenyi of her poison, most likely more and more people are going to arrive within the sect to find accommodations.
Hopefully my estimate is right and there aren't any delays... I don't want to be disqualified for being late.
After a couple of hours of waiting, two people who had varying levels of injuries suddenly barged into the room, shouting in loud voices.
"Fenyi, are you here?!"
"Young miss, are you safe? Did that young man do something bad to you?"
Both of them were about to continue shouting a few more words when, all of a sudden, they felt numerous gazes staring at them with cold expressions. Others shook their heads with disappointment, while some even put their fingers to their mouths with a shushing motion.
At first, they didn't really understand what was going on, and so with their status they were about to scream out in complaints, asking why they dared treat them in this way, when all of a sudden they noticed that in the middle of the crowd were two individuals, one of whom was bathed in a glow of golden light.
Qiao Qinghe, who was the first one to react, had his eyes bulge when he saw that the most useless of the three sons of the Sect Master of the Azure Dragon Sect, Huang Shi dared to hold the hand of his beloved granddaughter.
However, he suddenly paused when he sensed something from within the golden light.
"Such pure purifying energy... how is that possible?"
"Is this child one of those rare Children of Virtue, the embodiment of goodness and purity that I've always heard about in books?"
Huang Shi, despite his extensive focus, felt his eyebrows twitch at the words as a silent scream suddenly appeared within his heart.
Me? A pure and good person? What the fuck?
Regardless, he focused on his task and slowly but methodically removed every inch of poison from Qiao Fenyi's body—from her skin, muscles, bones, tendons, and even her blood and organs.
Finally, after another hour of performing this task, he was able to remove most of the poison from her skin and muscles.
Yet all of a sudden, a massive wave of purple and red energy erupted from Qiao Fenyi's body, forming a sinister face that looked like a mix between Luo Jun and that of a hideous monster as it rushed to attack him.
What the fuck is this thing?
Shit... I'm basically an empty tank right now... almost all of my spiritual energy was spent curing Fenyi!
RUMBLE!
It was worth noting that this ghost-like thing that was rushing to attack him was no pushover, as it gave off the pressure of a full-powered attack from a cultivator at the 7th level of the Nascent Profound Realm.
In fact, it was so powerful that it had almost reached the threshold of the 8th level of the Nascent Profound Realm, a level that, in his current condition, would at least leave him with significant injuries.
Ah fuck... I'm kinda screwed, aren't I?
Just as the massive purple and red poison ghost was about to hit his body, a wave of emerald light erupted from behind him, not only blocking the attack but instantly wiping it out of existence.
Alright, that was definitely a cultivator at the True Profound Realm...
Huang Shi gulped as a bit of fear appeared within his heart. Yet before he could focus on the situation behind him, Qiao Fenyi suddenly opened her eyes in front of him, both of which shined with a powerful light.
All of a sudden, he felt her spiritual energy begin to rise higher and higher.
Wait... is she about to have a breakthrough?!
Just as this thought appeared inside his head, Qiao Fenyi—who was previously at the 1st level of the Nascent Profound Realm—suddenly exploded with an aura equivalent to the 2nd level of the Nascent Profound Realm as she officially broke through.
