Starlight Iron was a resource Su Xiao was determined to obtain. On top of that, he had another matter he needed Puri to handle, so curing the old councilor was important right now.
After going upstairs, Su Xiao returned to the bedroom where the old councilor lay. The old councilor's condition was indeed troublesome, but it was not completely incurable.
First, the miniature transcendent organisms inside the old councilor were not immortal. Their metabolism was extremely fast, which was why the blanket covering him had soon become soaked through.
Under normal circumstances, solving the old councilor's problem would require weakening his vitality to its lowest point. The miniature transcendent organisms divided by absorbing vitality, which meant that once the old councilor had almost no vitality left, they would stop dividing and enter a controllable stage.
If Su Xiao did that, the old councilor would most likely die. The enemy also had an alchemist. This was a trap. Once the old councilor's vitality weakened to a certain degree, the miniature transcendent organisms would immediately change form.
Su Xiao's solution was to create a "filter" that would gradually draw the moisture from the old councilor's body. During the process, the "filter" would separate the miniature transcendent organisms from the moisture and ultimately eliminate them completely.
After finishing his plan, Su Xiao took out several alchemical instruments and began mixing medicine and creating the "filter." The "filter" prioritized biological structure.
Two hours later, Su Xiao fixed a metal frame to the old councilor's chest. A transparent pseudo-biological heart was beating. This heart had been cultivated from cell samples extracted from the old councilor.
The miniature transcendent organisms had fused with the old councilor's body "almost" 100 percent. Pay attention to the word almost—not completely. That alchemist had overlooked one thing: the old councilor's
