Seven-Colored Green Spirit Saliva
Ultimately, Xiao Yan's critically injured condition could not be hidden from everyone.
With a solemn expression, the Ancient Clan's Ancient Clan Dou Zun used a secret technique to truthfully transmit Xiao Yan's news back to the Ancient Realm, informing Xun'er was far away in Central Plains.
After witnessing Xiao Yan's condition firsthand, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and the others, though grieving, understood that staying there would not only be of no help but might even cause more trouble.
Suppressing their grief, they stayed temporarily with the Mittel Family under the arrangement of Hai Bodong, waiting silently.
By the afternoon, apart from Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, Gu He, and Yun Yun had all woken up.
"Brother Huo Yuhao!"
The moment Xiao Yi Xian opened her eyes, she didn't even have time to check her own condition. Her eyes searched frantically until she saw that familiar figure. She rushed over and hugged Huo Yuhao tightly around the waist. Her small body was still trembling slightly, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go.
"It's alright, it's all over now." Huo Yuhao gently patted her back, his voice soothing.
On the other side, Yun Yun had also tidied herself up, but her face was still pale.
She stepped forward, gave Huo Yuhao a graceful bow, and said in a slightly hoarse but grateful voice, "Young Master Huo, yesterday—thank you and Elder Hai for your help."
No need to thank me.
Huo Yuhao easily released Xiao Yi Xian, turned to look at Yun Yun, and said calmly, "After all, it was I who destroyed the Misty Cloud Sect."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao meticulously sensed Yun Yun's emotions, not missing a single fluctuation. He was making sure that he wouldn't let his guard down like he had with his master, Yun Shan, simply because she meant no harm.
"I've already learned from Elder Hai —it was my master—who first colluded with the Soul Hall, bringing about the annihilation of the Misty Cloud Sect."
Yun Yun's voice was low and painful, filled with guilt, grief and a deep sense of powerlessness. But Huo Yuhao could clearly sense that there were no other negative emotions or other emotions that should not have appeared at this time.
Seeing the somewhat heavy and oppressive atmosphere, Gu He spoke up at the right moment, steer the conversation to the most crucial question, "Huo Yuhao, how is Xiao Yan doing now?"
Xiao Yi Xian also looked up and asked anxiously, "What about Teacher? How is he?"
Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the three of them, and he said in a deep voice, "Come with me. Xiao Yan's condition is... very bad."
He pushed open Xiao Yan's door, and a chilling coldness immediately rushed towards him.
Inside the room, Xiao Yan lay quietly on the bed, his body covered with a thin layer of ice.
Beneath the ice, one could clearly see that there was hardly an inch of intact skin on his body; it was covered with shocking cracks and charred blackening.
"Xiao Yan!"
Upon seeing this scene, Yun Yun burst into tears and cried out as she lunged forward.
Within a single day, her sect was destroyed, her mentor perished, and her fiancé was reduced to this state. The series of devastating blows caused the once strong Misty Cloud Sect Master's mental defenses to completely collapse, and all she wanted to do was rush to her bedside and weep bitterly.
However, just as she was about to touch the bed, an invisible barrier formed by the primordial Heaven and Earth Origin Qi blocked her way.
"No!" Huo Yuhao's voice rang out.
"This layer of Ice Seal is one of the keys to his survival. If the ice breaks, there will be no way to save him."
Stopped in time by Huo Yuhao, Yun Yun suddenly came to her senses, forcibly suppressing her surging emotions, and staggered back two steps, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
Gu He's expression was extremely solemn. He quickly walked to the bedside and tried to extend a Soul Power to carefully examine the specific situation within Xiao Yan's body.
"Huh?"
When his Soul Power touched that thin layer of ice, it was blocked by an extremely tough force and could not penetrate even an inch.
"This layer of Ice Seal contains my Soul Power, which can block others from probing my soul and avoid unnecessary trouble," Huo Yuhao explained.
Immediately, with a thought, he quietly established a Mental Sharing connection, connecting Gu He's consciousness.
The next moment, the terrible state of Xiao Yan's body was laid bare before Gu He's eyes.
Gu He's expression changed drastically the moment he saw it clearly, and he gasped. "All five internal organs shattered, all meridians severed—this—this kind of injury, in theory, has absolutely no chance of survival!"
However, he soon discovered something incredible.
Instead of continuing to dissipate within Xiao Yan's dilapidated body, the life force was slowly but surely beginning to recover.
"This is----?"
After a very careful investigation, Gu He finally discovered a clue.
At the critical points of all of Xiao Yan's broken meridians and damaged internal organs, there was an extremely thin but persistent light green energy membrane.
It was this energy membrane that barely maintained the weak functions of these vital parts, keeping Xiao Yan on his last breath.
At the same time, two Heavenly Flames, one dark red and one icy blue, were slowly circulating within his body, constantly refining the meager energy seeping in from outside the ice layer and replenishing his depleted body.
Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in Gu He's consciousness, "I forcibly maintained the most basic circulation within his body using my life force. At the same time, I left the Fire Spirit of the Nine Separation Phoenix Flame and the Nine Li Ice Flame within him to help him refine energy and sustain his body's needs."
Upon hearing this, Gu He's face showed a hint of dejection. "His condition is really... too troublesome. High-grade healing pills with stronger effects could very well disrupt the life force balance you've painstakingly maintained, directly—"
"And mild medicinal pills are of little use for this level of damage to the internal organs and meridians; they're not as effective as your vitality, Huo Yuhao."
With each word Gu He spoke, Yun Yun, who was standing to the side, grew paler. By the time Gu He finished speaking, her face was completely bloodless, and her delicate body swayed precariously, as if she might faint again at any moment.
Xiao Yi Xian bit her lip, her voice tinged with hope as she asked, "Grandmaster Gu He, can the Seventh Grade elixir, the Bone-Melting Blood-Replenishing Pill, cure Xiao Yan?"
Gu He sighed, "The Bone-Melting Blood-Replenishing Pill is said to have the miraculous effects of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones, so it can certainly work."
"However, this kind of pill is already very close to the Eighth Grade, and it is extremely difficult to refine. It requires extremely high levels of Soul Power and flame control from the alchemist. Even if the few of us work together, the possibility of success is extremely slim."
"Moreover," he shook his head, "We simply don't possess such a rare elixir formula."
Huo Yuhao calmly replied, "We have the prescription."
Gu He was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized. "That's right, it's said that this Bone-Melting Blood-Replenishing Pill was created by the Venerable Yao. He was your teacher—"
Upon hearing the mention of Yao Chen, Gu He suddenly remembered what he had seen yesterday and hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about Senior Venerable Yao? How is he? Yesterday I personally witnessed his soul form protecting us—"
Huo Yuhao: "Teacher is alright, he has simply exhausted his Soul Power and fallen into a deep sleep. If there are high-quality natural treasures or pills to nourish his soul, they can help him awaken."
Hearing this, Gu He frowned. "It's a pity. With Senior Venerable Yao's abilities, he should be able to heal Xiao Yan. However, I just ran out of the herbs for nourishing the soul, Alchemist Guild doesn't have any either."
Just then, Yun Yun hurriedly spoke up, "I know where to find it! The Nalan Family possesses a Seven-Colored Green Spirit Saliva! It's said that its roots, buried underground, can be refined into an essence that nourishes and restores Soul Power! Perhaps it would be useful to Senior Venerable Yao!"
A glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately said, "The Nalan Family? I'll go get it right away!"
Before he could finish speaking, his figure had already transformed into a blurry streak of light and vanished from the room in an instant.
