One Sword Fox

If Xiao Bai had taken Yu Hu's anesthetic, the Modifier would have broken it down into Spiritual Power and a medicinal power format imprinted on the outer wall of his Dantian.

But if he had taken someone else's anesthetic, Xiao Bai would have truly fallen unconscious.

Just as Xiao Bai inhaled the anesthetic and lost consciousness, a cold mechanical voice sliced into his mind!

Ding—Detected Host has entered an abnormal state of unconsciousness. Modifier has forcibly awakened the Host's subconscious, retaining only Divine Sense-driven sensory input.

Well, Xiao Bai worried for nothing!

Honestly, after the Modifier went "dark," it actually became more humane, even showing concern for its Host.

"Obsidian spiritual test begins."

On the Obsidian bed, blue runes flickered.

The spiritual test began.

The Female Daoist Doctor read the projected results of the test.

"Confirm spiritual meridian identity: Snow Flame Sect Hundred Herbs Peak Pill Elder's Dao Companion, Xiao Bai."

"Confirm bone meridian age: Twenty-seven years and seven months."

"Confirm spiritual root cultivation: Early Qi Refining Realm."

"Inferred spiritual root talent: Balanced Five Elements."

"Inferred..."

The Old Daoist Doctor frowned.

"Why is it 'inferred'?"

"Activate the formation for analysis."

The Spell Seals on the inner wall of the Internal Examination Room activated, forming a Five Elements Analysis Formation, shining on Xiao Bai's lower body.

The Female Daoist Doctor continued to read the analysis results.

"Confirm spiritual root is Balanced Five Elements."

"Confirm race is Pure Human, no Demonic Power or Demonic Qi residue within the body."

"Confirm no practice of Demonic Arts or Demonic Cultivation Techniques."

"Confirm their Dual Cultivation partner is only one person."

It can even test for that?

Xiao Bai was dumbfounded.

But on second thought, it made sense. Although Yu Hu's Spiritual Power or Demonic Power was broken down and absorbed by the Modifier, besides spiritual energy exchange, they also had bodily fluid exchange, which could leave indelible marks on the other person's body.

In his previous life, he heard that hospitals could even tell how many times you'd been pregnant and how many types of sperm were in your body.

Moreover, this is the Cultivation World. Isn't the analysis formation more advanced than your B-scans and CT scans?

This was quite reasonable.

Both rounds of testing showed — Xiao Bai was an absolutely innocent person.

Seeing this result, the Old Daoist Doctor also found it difficult.

In this situation, it would generally be assumed that the test subject had no problems and there was no need for further dissection and examination.

But the Sect Overseer didn't seem to think so...

The three waited for the decision from the Surveillance Room next door.

Inside the Surveillance Room.

Even Xuan Shi felt they might have misunderstood Xiao Bai.

"He doesn't look like an experiment subject related to demons or monsters... Could we have misunderstood Master Yuhu?"

Qi Shan sneered and shook his head, unable to accept that his worldview was being overturned by a Laborer Disciple.

"I absolutely don't believe that someone with Balanced Five Elements can reach Qi Refining in the Tian Yuan Era—cut open his Dantian and examine it carefully!"

His command was transmitted into the Internal Examination Room through the formation.

But such a clearly irregular act couldn't be done by command alone. At the very least, the Sect Supervisor's identity was needed to sign an Indemnity Document for the Daoist Doctors.

The three Daoist Doctors fell silent, none daring to move.

Seeing this, Xuan Shi advised Qi Shan:

"Once the Dantian is cut open, it will be almost impossible for his cultivation to recover. If there's any slight mistake, his life could even be in danger. It won't be easy to explain to the Snow Flame Sect."

Qi Shan decided to go all the way.

"If something goes wrong, afterwards, inject Demonic Qi into his Dantian and say it was caused by him inhaling the prison's Demonic Qi in the Connecting Heaven Well... As for the rest, leave it to Heaven's will."

Xuan Shi still felt it was too risky.

"This matter might cause a rift between the Dao Supervision Palace and the Snow Flame Sect. This subordinate feels that this is a serious matter, shouldn't we inform the Dao Supervision Envoy?"

"No need to worry, I can handle this small matter. Besides, Master Chun Xiao is ultimately a member of the Dao Alliance."

Qi Shan's voice grew colder and more biting.

"Things that are out of the ordinary must be demonic. Given the spiritual energy density of the Tian Yuan Era, unless one cultivates forbidden techniques or integrates the power of demons and monsters, it's impossible for someone with Balanced Five Elements to achieve Qi Refining. This child's secret to Qi Refining must be hidden in his Dantian!"

Xiao Bai felt his scalp tingle...

He had to admit, this dog-like guy's reasoning was sound and convincing.

Who could have imagined that he was actually a Transmigrator with a Modifier attached?

Qi Shan was not someone to be underestimated.

But similarly, Yu Hu, with her top-tier pharmacological knowledge, must be even more curious about his secret than Qi Shan.

Yet, she hadn't touched his Dantian during the dissection.

She was a Demoness!

So, who was the real villain?

Perhaps he needed to find a loophole in the System to exploit the Heavenly Dao Grand Gift Bag...

Seeing that Qi Shan's mind was made up, Xuan Shi could only say to the three Daoist Doctors:

"I will sign the Indemnity Document. Everyone, prepare to operate. Be thoroughly prepared. Don't worry about whether his cultivation can be restored; just make sure to save his life."

"Yes!"

Xiao Bai could tell that this Supervisor Xuan's position in the Dao Supervision Palace was not low; he was essentially the permanent secretary to the rotating Sect Supervisors.

With Xuan Shi backing them, the three Daoist Doctors in the Internal Examination Room finally put on their Ice Silk Gloves, picked up various knives, and sharpened their blades, ready to butcher the pig and sheep...

Xiao Bai's scalp went numb.

Although he knew he wouldn't die, if his cultivation dropped, it would be very difficult to recover, and it might even trigger unknown errors with the Modifier.

Xiao Bai absolutely couldn't tolerate this!

He could only try the Elder's pills...

Although it wasn't a true life-or-death crisis yet, he decided to activate the Alcohol-Filled Chocolate Medicinal Power Format etched on the outside of his Dantian Wall in advance.

So he contracted his Dantian Wall, stirred the Sea of Qi vortex, and released Spiritual Power outwards.

The Spiritual Power activated the Medicinal Seal outside the Dantian Wall, and the medicinal power instantly spread throughout his body.

Fine sweat seeped from his skin, emitting an incredibly sweet alcohol scent...

The three Daoist Doctors were about to operate on Xiao Bai when their hands suddenly stopped.

"How is there an alcohol scent?"

"Why is he suddenly sweating, and the Formation didn't even analyze it..."

"For a moment just now, there seemed to be a fluctuation of Spiritual Power in his Dantian."

Not only in the Internal Examination Room, but even Qi Shan and Xuan Shi in the Surveillance Room next door smelled the alcohol scent.

One should know that only audio-visual projections and Spiritual Pressure could be transmitted to the next room... not smells.

Xuan Shi pinched his nostrils, but the alcohol smell wouldn't dissipate.

"What kind of medicinal wine is this? We can even smell it in the Surveillance Room?"

Qi Shan noticed the abnormality and shouted loudly:

"This kid definitely has a problem! Don't worry about it—hurry and operate!"

At the same time.

Dao Supervision Palace, eighteenth underground level prison.

In a certain cell.

An old man with a flushed face, his entire body covered in black floral patterns, and his Dantian impaled by a sword stuck in the cell wall, suddenly sniffed a strange wisp of alcohol scent and slammed his head against the wall, saying:

"Today is a good day. Suitable for entering the mortal world."

The cell next door.

A wine pot hung upside down from the dome, and wine dripped drop by drop into slightly parted red lips.

Some of the wine entered the throat and filled the stomach, while the rest slid down the corners of the mouth, cleansing the long neck and merging into the faintly visible white snow ridge within the robe.

Suddenly, the dripping wine suspended in mid-air.

A woman with disheveled hair, wearing a dirty hemp robe, twitched her sharp nose in her sleep and lifted her messy, sword-like long eyelashes.

"If there's nothing interesting enough in this world, don't call me out, or I won't forgive you... Master."
