Xiao Yi Xian's Perk
After the plant entered the room, a faint, Calming Fragrance wafted through the air, which helped relieve the fatigue Lin Ming had experienced after expending his Soul Power.
With Lin Ming's current powerful Soul Power, ordinary things are useless to Lin Ming. But the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva, even just its fragrance, can make his depleted Soul Power feel slightly relieved. This shows how amazing the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva would be in terms of restoring Soul Power if used.
In fact, Lin Ming had some understanding of the medicinal effects of the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva. After all, Xiao Yan had used it to revive Old Yao from his slumber.
The Old Yao was Tier 8 or even Tier 9 Alchemist, and his Soul Power was probably at the Heavenly Realm. Lin Ming's Soul Power was at most at the Spirit Realm level, which was a whole grade away from the Heavenly Realm.
Since the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva had an effect even on Old Yao, whose Soul Power was at a higher level, its effect on Lin Ming would naturally be even more significant. Therefore, this was one of the two main reasons why Lin Ming came to treat Old Master Nalan.
After all, given Lin Ming's current perspective and strength, the help the Nalan Family could offer him would be extremely insignificant. Therefore, Lin Ming didn't have the time or inclination to treat Old Master Nalan simply by befriending the Nalan Family.
"Lin Ming, this is the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva. Back then, it was because I tried to get my hands on it that I Lao Du. Now, it's yours." Upon seeing the plant in Nalan Su's hand, Old Master Nalan spoke.
"Grandpa, then Lin Ming won't stand on ceremony. As for your Lao Du, I'll come again in three days. After two more visits, you'll be completely free from the threat of the Lao Du." After Old Master Nalan finished speaking, Nalan Su handed the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva to Lin Ming. Looking at the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva in front of him, Lin Ming accepted it directly.
After receiving Lin Ming's assurance that they would be completely free from the torment of the Lao Du in a few days, both Old Master Nalan and Nalan Su looked at Lin Ming with smiles on their faces, showing no sign of bitterness for having given away such a precious medicinal herb.
"Grandpa, I'll be taking my leave now." After accepting the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva, Lin Ming didn't linger and took his leave.
"Nephew Lin, I'll see you out." Nalan Su said immediately after hearing Lin Ming's intention to take his leave.
Nodding, Nalan Su then escorted Lin Ming to the gate of the Nalan Family.
After leaving the Nalan Family, Lin Ming did not delay and went straight back to his own courtyard.
"Lin Ming, you're back." Upon returning to the courtyard, Xiao Yi Xian immediately greeted Lin Ming.
"Yes! Xiao Yi Xian, it's perfect that you're here. There's something I need to tell you. Take me to your room!" Lin Ming said immediately, as he had come back specifically to find Xiao Yi Xian and had just run into her.
Having spent more than half a year with Lin Ming in the valley, Xiao Yi Xian knew Lin Ming very well. So when Lin Ming said he wanted to go to her room, Xiao Yi Xian didn't ask any questions and led Lin Ming towards her room.
After arriving at Xiao Yi Xian's room, Lin Ming sat down and looked at her, saying, "Little Xiao Yi Xian, the method for controlling the Woeful Poison Body involves using three Heavenly Flames to accumulate the Calamity Poison Gas, thereby condensing Poison Pill. Although I only have one Heavenly Flames right now, you are still in the early stages of the Woeful Poison Body's activation. So, I will use my Heavenly Flames to help you process it, which can strengthen the Calamity Poison Gas's erosion of your body, thus delaying the eruption of the Woeful Poison Body. This will give you more time to find the materials to control the Woeful Poison Body and thus bring it under control." Furthermore, during the cleansing of the Lao Du from Old Master Nalan, some of the Lao Du also adhered to the Heavenly Flames. When I use the Heavenly Flames to cleanse you, your Woeful Poison Body can also absorb this Lao Du. This Lao Du has been in Old Master Nalan's body for many years and possesses extremely pure energy. When you absorb it, not only will your Woeful Poison Body enhance your absorption of Lao Du, but the energy itself will also be enhanced, which will greatly improve your cultivation. Also, after you absorb the Lao Du, I won't have to worry about it causing Lao Du in my body anymore, and it can also help me solve a problem."
For Xiao Yi Xian, anything that could help Lin Ming was something she wouldn't hesitate to do. Moreover, she could not only help Lin Ming but also gain significant benefits herself—a win-win situation that no one would refuse. So, after Lin Ming finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian asked, "Lin Ming, what do you need me to do?"
"I'll use my Heavenly Flames to comb through your hair. Aside from enduring a little pain, you don't need to do anything else. However, Xiao Yi Xian, you'll need to remove your clothes during this combing process." Lin Ming was a little embarrassed as he finished speaking.
In fact, given Lin Ming's perceived strength of Soul Power, he could indeed project his Soul Power into Xiao Yi Xian's body. However, doing so would result in Xiao Yi Xian's entire body being projected even more clearly into Lin Ming's mind. Therefore, Lin Ming preferred to have Xiao Yi Xian remove her clothes, so that he would only need to see her back.
Upon hearing Lin Ming mention taking off her clothes, Xiao Yi Xian's fair cheeks instantly turned bright red.
"Xiao Yi Xian, this is indeed necessary. But don't worry, I'll only touch your cheek, I won't..." Lin Ming said shyly, looking at Xiao Yi Xian's blushing cheeks.
Hearing Lin Ming's words, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, then got up and walked towards the bed.
Hearing the sparse sounds, Lin Ming awkwardly touched his nose. Then, he heard Xiao Yi Xian's faint voice.
"Okay... okay."
Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Lin Ming turned his head and saw that on the bed, under the cover of the quilt, Xiao Yi Xian's creamy white back skin was exposed in front of Lin Ming.
"Gulp!"
Lin Ming unconsciously swallowed, then composed himself before walking toward the bed.
Walking to the bedside, seeing Xiao Yi Xian already flushed red to the roots of her ears, Lin Ming sat down cross-legged on the bed with a smile.
As Lin Ming approached the bed, Lin Ming could feel the slight trembling of Xiao Yi Xian's fair skin.
"Xiao Yi Xian, I will soon be controlling the Heavenly Flames to enter your body. It will be a little painful, so please bear with it," Lin Ming said, looking at Xiao Yi Xian.
"Mmm!" Xiao Yi Xian replied softly.
Helping Xiao Yi Xian use the Heavenly Flames to cleanse her body, similar to what Old Master Nalan did, required the Heavenly Flames to enter her body. However, Old Master Nalan's method was akin to scraping bone wounds by removing the Lao Du attached to the bones with the Heavenly Flames. Xiao Yi Xian's method, on the other hand, only required a simple cleansing, equivalent to letting hot water flow through her body. The pain of the two is not on the same level. Therefore, Xiao Yi Xian's nonchalant response was not a major problem.
