"Hehe, congratulations on successfully advancing to the Life Profound Stage, young friend."

As soon as Lin Langtian stepped into the map shop, Dugu Qi seemed to have anticipated it. Looking at the newcomer, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he smiled.

As he said this, Dugu Qi couldn't help but glance at Lin Langtian a few more times, because he could faintly sense a fluctuation of Spatial Power emanating from the other man.

However, the Spatial Power is something that ordinary experts cannot achieve.

While Dugu Qi was surprised, Lin Langtian smiled and said, "It's just a mere Life Profound Stage. It's not worth mentioning to you, senior."

"The Life Profound Stage is nothing special, but you, a Life Profound Stage, are extraordinary. I heard that you not only wiped out the Heavenly Profound Sect disciples who entered the Abyssal Demon Domain, but also blocked Huang Wuzi's challenge of one move. This is no simple matter."

Even Dugu Qi couldn't help but sigh when this matter was brought up.

It should be noted that Heavenly Profound Sect is the number one sect in the Western Xuan Region, and Huang Wuzi is someone that even Dugu Qi at his peak would have to show respect to. Unexpectedly, he suffered such a great defeat at the hands of a junior.

Upon hearing this news, Dugu Qi was shocked by Lin Langtian's ruthless mind and unpredictable methods.

This child is definitely not someone to be underestimated.

"Young friend, you have now successfully broken through to the Life Profound Stage. I wonder..." After a moment of reflection, Dugu Qi hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Lin Langtian naturally knew what he wanted to say. He smiled and said, "Senior Dugu, please rest assured. Langtian is not the kind of person who takes benefits and does nothing. Just leave the demonic energy on your body to me."

"Hehe, then thank you very much, young friend," Dugu Qi said happily.

"No need to be polite, it's what I should do." Lin Langtian smiled slightly. This famous Poison Venerable was a key person he wanted to win over, and also a pillar of his soon-to-be-established power, so naturally he had to treat him kindly.

"By the way, Senior Dugu, this exorcism of demonic energy may take some time. I wonder if you have any quiet and safe places here..." Lin Langtian.

"Yes, come with me." Upon hearing this, Dugu Qi nodded and strode forward.

Lin Langtian followed behind Dugu Qi, and the two moved very fast, soon arriving at a stone house halfway up a mountain.

"This is where I usually live in seclusion. I've laid down many deadly poisons around it. Even a Samsara Stage expert would suffer serious injury if they rashly stepped into this place," Dugu Qi said with a light laugh as he led Lin Langtian into the stone house.

"Oh, that's amazing..." Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly. As expected of the once-famous Poison Venerable, his methods were truly extraordinary.

"Since this place is extremely safe and secluded, let's begin," Lin Langtian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Qi's face also showed a look of joy and excitement. He nodded quickly, then went to the stone bed and sat cross-legged.

"Before we begin, I would like to trouble Senior Dugu to take this pill."

At this moment, a pill flew out of Lin Langtian's hand and finally hovered in front of Dugu Qi. The latter was slightly taken aback, but he did not doubt it. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed it into his body.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian nodded. This pill was just an ordinary pill for restoring Yuan Qi, but before coming, Lin Langtian had specially mixed a wisp of Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror's energy into it.

As for the purpose, it was naturally to help expel the demonic energy from Dugu Qi's body, since even the demonic energy of the Demonic Emperor Lock could not harm the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror.

Only by combining internal and external methods can Dugu Qi be completely eradicated from the erosion of demonic energy and restore his peak strength.

As the pill entered his body, a Black Gold Light immediately emanated, spreading throughout every inch of Dugu Qi's body.

At the same time, Lin Langtian placed his hands behind Dugu Qi's back and then circulated the power of the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror within his body, which slowly seeped into Dugu Qi's body to begin dispelling the demonic energy.

Between this internal and external interaction, drops of black demonic energy, carrying a slightly foul and evil odor, slowly seeped out from Dugu Qi's pores.

"Hiss!"

As the evil black mist seeped out, Dugu Qi's body trembled violently. His jaw clenched, and he kept hissing as he gasped for air. Clearly, the pain he was experiencing during the process of expelling the demonic energy was extremely intense.

This process of expelling demonic energy lasted for nearly eight hours before finally ending because Lin Langtian's Yuan energy was exhausted. However, it must be said that the demonic energy in Dugu Qi's body was indeed too deeply entrenched, and even with such a ruthless method, it still could not be completely eradicated.

"At this rate, most of the demonic energy should be expelled within three days. At that time, I will give you some pills that I have refined. Just take one pill every day for about ten days and you will be able to completely expel the demonic energy from your body."

Looking at Dugu Qi, who had stood up from the stone bed and seemed much better, Lin Langtian smiled.

"Thank you very much, young friend Langtian. I, Dugu Qi, will never forget this kindness. Once I recover my peak strength, rest assured, the Heavenly Profound Sect will not be able to cause you any trouble."

Dugu Qi cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Langtian and said in a deep voice that he could feel the changes in his body. The worry that had troubled him for so many years was finally going to be cured, and he was extremely excited.

Lin Langtian smiled, looking at Dugu Qi, whose spirits had improved considerably, and couldn't help but examine the Demon Seed within his body.

In the process of helping Dugu Qi remove the Demon Seed, Lin Langtian also absorbed a lot of demonic energy using the Demon Seed. In addition, the demonic energy contained the vast energy of Dugu Qi, a powerful expert in the Samsara Stage, so Lin Langtian also benefited greatly and his strength increased slightly.

He vaguely sensed that if he could completely remove the demonic energy from Dugu Qi's body, his strength might be able to rise to the Life Profound Realm Lesser Completion Peak, and he might even have a chance to step into the Life Profound Stage Great Success.

After all, this demonic energy contains a portion of the pure energy within the body of a Samsara Stage expert.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian's heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement; he hadn't expected this unexpected gain to be such a pleasant surprise...

Over the next few days, Lin Langtian spent nearly ten hours each day expelling the demonic poison from Dugu Qi's body. As he did his best to expel it, Dugu Qi's spirit grew stronger day by day, and his strength increased. Even Lin Langtian felt a powerful sense of pressure when facing him.

After all, this was a Samsara Stage expert who was no weaker than the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect.

During this period, Lin Langtian's strength also increased as he helped Dugu Qi remove the evil, and he even showed a tendency to advance to the Life Profound Stage Great Success.

Dugu Qi had a vague idea about this, but he didn't care. After all, compared to what he wanted, Lin Langtian's contribution was nothing.

Inside the stone house filled with demonic energy, on the stone bed, Black Gold Light faintly emanated, and a powerful aura, like that of a giant dragon awakening, was gathering strength within the stone house.

At this moment, Dugu Qi looked energetic, and his aura and eyes were no longer as listless as before. It was clear that Lin Langtian's removal of demonic energy had been very effective during this period.

The black demonic energy lingered for a long time before finally fading away, replaced by the rich life force emanating from Dugu Qi's body.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Langtian absorbed the energy of the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror into his body and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had now reached the Life Profound Stage. Otherwise, with his previous strength, it would have been difficult to remove demonic energy so easily over such a long period of time.

At this moment, Dugu Qi also stood up, feeling the vibrant life force emanating from his body. A look of surprise appeared on his aged face. He clasped his hands in a fist and solemnly said to Lin Langtian, "Brother Langtian, I will remember your great kindness."

At this moment, there was no fluctuation of Yuan Power on Dugu Qi's body, but the oppressive aura emanating from him was so strong that it seemed to freeze the air itself.

This is the immense pressure exerted by a powerhouse at the Samsara Stage.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian's heart tightened, and then he chuckled and said, "Senior Dugu, you are too kind. This was all agreed upon by us. I am just keeping my promise."

"Hehe, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't keep their promise so readily. That's what makes it so precious." As a seasoned veteran, Dugu Qi had a keen understanding of human nature, and thus, he pinpointed the most crucial point in a single sentence.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly. In any world, deceit and treachery are inevitable, which is why integrity has become even rarer than some superior cultivation techniques.

Seeing that Dugu Qi did not change his expression after regaining his strength, Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Senior Dugu, I do have something that I need your help with."

"Oh, what is it? As long as it's within my power, I will definitely do my best to help. After all, I never like to owe favors," Dugu Qi said with a hearty laugh.

Having regained his peak strength, his every word and action exuded a strong sense of confidence and pressure, as if he had returned to his former glory as the Poison Venerable Lord.

Upon hearing Dugu Qi's words, Lin Langtian revealed his plan to leave the Yuan Sect and establish his own independent force.

"Finally ready to leave Yuan Sect, haha. I told you, Yuan Sect is not suitable for you. Tian Yuanzi and the other two are treacherous and cunning. With your talent, staying in the Yuan Sect will only lead to your downfall sooner or later," Dugu Qi laughed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded with an awkward smile, then stared intently at Dugu Qi and said with a smile, "I wonder if Senior Dugu would be willing to join my forces and help me out?"

"Oh, so that's what you're up to, kid. You actually want to invite me to join your forces?" Upon hearing this, Dugu Qi was also taken aback, then glanced at Lin Langtian and asked in surprise.

He originally thought Lin Langtian wanted to create a small force. After all, Life Profound Stage in the Eastern Xuan Region was barely enough to establish a sect. Moreover, with Lin Langtian's talent, he might be able to break through to the Death Profound Stage in another three to five years.

But to his surprise, Lin Langtian, actually wanting to invite a Samsara Stage expert to join.

It should be noted that the strongest among the Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region is only at the Samsara Stage. For example, in the Dao Sect, if Elder Qian had not broken through before his death, there would only be one Samsara Stage expert, Ying Xuanzi, in charge.

If the force founded by Lin Langtian truly has a Samsara Stage expert, although it cannot immediately reach the level of the Eight Great Super Sects, its potential is limitless.

"Hehe, if we're going to do something, we should do it the best. Otherwise, what's the point of being a remote little tyrant? Besides, if it weren't for Senior Dugu personally overseeing things, the Yuan Sect to demand punishment as soon as I set up my own sect," Lin Langtian.

"Do you know that I have been living a carefree life for a long time? Even when many top sects in the Western Xuan Region tried to win me over, I did not accept them."

"Because I don't really like the constraints of sects." Dugu Qi looked at Lin Langtian and frowned.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian had a plan. He smiled and said, "Senior Dugu, rest assured, you only need to hold the title of Supreme Elder. The sect will not impose any restrictions on you. Of course, if my power is in a critical moment of survival, I hope that you can lend a helping hand."

Hearing Lin Langtian recount his story, Dugu Qi couldn't help but feel slightly surprised and said, "Do you know how difficult it is to establish a force? It not only requires a powerful figure to intimidate the surrounding forces, but also involves martial arts, resources, disciples, and many other factors."

Even the Eight Great Super Sects of the Eastern Xuan Region have accumulated their strength over hundreds or even thousands of years to reach this point. You are so young, why are you so confident?

"Hehe, I have my own methods. I'll keep you in suspense for now, and you'll see when the time comes, Senior Dugu," Lin Langtian said with a smile.

"Oh..." Seeing Lin Langtian's mysterious look, Dugu Qi raised his eyebrows curiously, and then smiled.

"Since you have the confidence and means, why shouldn't I agree? I'm used to a life of leisure, so finding a place to retire wouldn't be bad."

For Dugu Qi, Lin Langtian had almost saved his life, so agreeing to this condition was not a big deal.

Moreover, for some reason, Dugu Qi had a vague suspicion that Lin Langtian's future achievements might far exceed ordinary people's imagination. Establishing a good relationship with this young man might bring him unexpected and huge benefits in the near future.

Having roamed the continent for hundreds of years, Dugu Qi has developed his own discerning eye when it comes to judging people.

"However, before that, I need to go to the Western Xuan Region to take care of some personal matters. After all, it's time to settle accounts with those who wronged me back then."

After agreeing to Lin Langtian, Dugu Qi seemed to remember something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint appeared in them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback, then nodded and said, "This junior understands. Then Dugu Senior Dugu a successful trip."

"Don't worry, they're just some clowns. Now that we've regained our strength, crushing them will be as easy as crushing a bunch of ants." Dugu Qi shook his head, then looked at Lin Langtian, took out a green jade pendant from his pocket, and said.

"If you encounter danger, just crush it, and I will Spatial Shift to your aid."

Lin Langtian took the green jade pendant, nodded, and when he looked up again, he saw that Dugu Qi had already Spatial Shift away from the original spot.

Seeing this, Lin Langtian stretched and then murmured, "Since Tian Yuanzi wants me to assassinate Qing Tan, then I'll go to the Northern Xuan Region..."
