Chu Yunfei immediately understood.
"No wonder she was able to cultivate to the Eighth Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm at such a young age."
The Flawless Spirit Physique lacks domineering explosive power; what's truly terrifying is that it has no bottlenecks in cultivation—it is pure.
Once the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi enters the body, it can be refined at an extremely fast speed. Taking elixirs also leaves very little residue of toxicity.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more obvious this advantage becomes.
While others need to spend a lot of time polishing their foundation and clearing away impurities, Flawless Spirit Physique is almost unaffected.
With the resources of the Great Qian Imperial Family, it's not surprising that Ling Xueyao reached the Eighth Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
"The royal family kept the news very well hidden."
If it weren't for this ambush, Chu Yunfei wouldn't have known this news.
Once a person's special physical condition is revealed, it often attracts competition from various parties.
After Situ Shuang'er awakened her physique, she was exceptionally admitted to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Wen Jiao, who possesses the Heavenly Yin Baleful Intent Physique, also has talent far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists.
The value of Flawless Spirit Physique is no less than theirs.
If the seven major sects had known earlier that Ling Xueyao possessed Flawless Spirit Physique, they probably would have been restless long ago.
However, these things can wait until we leave the abyss.
Ling Xueyao is still in critical condition.
Chu Yunfei controlled the refining power to bypass his dantian and continue upwards along the other damaged meridians.
The acupoints were unblocked one by one.
The dark red bloodline on Ling Xueyao's abdomen gradually faded, and the bloodthirsty Sha Qi gathered near her shoulders also began to weaken.
Her body trembled slightly from the pain, and her skin, which had been cool, gradually warmed up.
The two were very close.
Ling Xueyao's faint breath landed on Chu Yunfei's wrist, bringing a warm sensation.
Chu Yunfei only needed to lower his head slightly to see her trembling eyelashes and bloodless lips.
He composed himself and continued clearing upwards along the direction in which the blood demon was spreading.
After half an incense stick's time, the vast majority of the blood evil had been refined.
Ling Xueyao's pale face finally regained some color, and her breathing stabilized completely.
Just as Chu Yunfei was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Xiaoxiao Dragon spoke again.
Don't get too excited yet.
"A wisp of bloodlust is hidden near her heart meridian, already entangled with the essence of the Flawless Spirit Physique."
Xiaoxiao Dragon paused, then his tone regained some of its playfulness.
"To force it out, you'd better figure out the right point next."
Chu Yunfei followed her suggestion and investigated.
Deep within the heart meridian, indeed, lay a wisp of extremely fine blood evil.
That power was hidden within the pure aura of the Flawless Spirit Physique, almost completely concealing its own fluctuations. If Xiaoxiao Dragon hadn't reminded him, Chu Yunfei might have missed it.
This wisp of bloodlust won't kill you right now.
However, once it takes root in the heart meridian, it may erupt at any time and erode the soul along the heart meridian.
Even if Dao Mysterious Realm expert were to arrive in person at that time, it might not be enough to save them.
Chu Yunfei's face darkened.
"It's too close to the heart; we can't draw blood directly from there."
"We must first seal off the three surrounding acupoints, force it into the right-side meridian, and then guide it out through the arm."
Xiaoxiao Dragon chuckled softly.
Those three acupoints are all located on the chest.
"It hasn't been long since Yan Guining's affair, and now the Princess of Great Qian has been sent to you. You brat, your luck is a bit too much."
Chu Yunfei said irritably:
"You always claim to be an ancient female dragon queen, can't you think about something more serious?"
As he spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Ling Xueyao's chest.
Although the tattered long dress had slipped down quite a bit, it still managed to cover several key acupoints.
When attacking through clothing, spiritual energy is easily deflected.
The heart meridian is right next to it.
Even an inch too high could be fatal.
Chu Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then moved the fabric covering the acupoints to the sides.
In the dim abyss, that patch of skin stood out strikingly white.
Below her delicate collarbone, the curves rose and fell gently with her soft breaths.
Chu Yunfei's hand froze in mid-air, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.
This princess usually dresses elegantly, and every gesture she makes exudes royal dignity.
Who would have thought that such a captivating scene was hidden beneath that pale yellow dress?
Chu Yunfei's gaze lingered for two breaths, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, before he forcibly looked away.
"Do not look at what is improper."
Xiaoxiao Dragon exposed him without any mercy.
"You've already finished reading it, and now you're only remembering these four words? Isn't it a bit too late?"
Chu Yunfei lowered his voice.
"How can I save her if I can't see the acupoints clearly?"
"Yes, yes, yes, save people."
Xiaoxiao Dragon spoke with a smile.
"Even among special physiques Flawless Spirit Physique is considered top-tier. If you cultivate with her using the Dragon and Phoenix Dao Emperor Scripture, the benefits you receive will be second only to the Daughter of Heavenly Mandate. You might even be able to step into the Heavenly Origin Realm tonight."
"Anyway, once she wakes up and finds herself completely exposed, she probably won't let you off easily. Instead of waiting for her to come after you, wouldn't it be better to solidify your status as the prince consort? Wouldn't that be a quick and easy solution?"
Chu Yunfei's face turned completely dark.
"She's not even conscious right now, and you want me to take advantage of her?"
"I am merely informing you of the value of Flawless Spirit Physique; the choice is yours."
Xiaoxiao Dragon lazily added:
"But if she wakes up now, you probably won't be able to dodge this sword."
Chu Yunfei ignored her.
He never considered himself a gentleman, but he wouldn't go so far as to attack someone who was seriously injured, unconscious, and powerless to resist.
Moreover, Ling Xueyao had already used the royal family's only life-saving jade pendant to save them.
If someone takes advantage of another's misfortune at such a time, they themselves would despise themselves.
Chu Yunfei extended two fingers and pressed on the first acupoint below Ling Xueyao's collarbone.
Spiritual energy slowly seeped in.
Ling Xueyao, still unconscious, trembled slightly.
Chu Yunfei controlled his spiritual power to seal the meridians on his left side. After confirming there were no deviations, he moved his palm downwards and pressed on the second acupoint near his heart.
As the palm lands, the touch becomes even softer.
Chu Yunfei's breath hitched for a moment.
"Save them."
He silently recited a phrase in his mind, his gaze fixed on the dark red lines that were gradually emerging beneath his skin.
The second meridian has been sealed off.
The Blood Demon, hidden near the heart meridian, sensed its retreat was dwindling and immediately launched a counterattack.
A pure white light shone from near Ling Xueyao's heart meridian, colliding fiercely with the dark red blood energy.
Ling Xueyao frowned.
Her consciousness remained submerged in darkness, yet she vaguely felt a warm touch on her chest.
A warm hand was slowly moving over her body.
Ling Xueyao tried to open her eyes.
A profound weariness weighed down her spirit, preventing her from truly regaining consciousness.
Fragmented memories kept flashing through my mind.
The Cloud-Chasing Boat exploded.
Chu Yunfei pushed her away, leaving himself behind to cover their retreat.
When the palm print from the Divine Sea Realm descended, he stood in front of her again, taking the full force of the blow with his back.
Later, she was trapped by the Blood Baleful Intent Soul-Locking Formation.
The jade pendant left by the emperor was broken.
Before she lost consciousness, it was Chu Yunfei who held her in his arms.
The temperature in my chest shifted again.
Ling Xueyao instinctively wanted to resist, but her arm could only move slightly.
Chu Yunfei noticed this and looked down.
"Is she about to wake up?"
Xiaoxiao Dragon sensed it for a moment.
"The soul is recovering, but it's still a little short. One last acupoint, hurry."
Chu Yunfei accelerated the circulation of his spiritual energy.
The first two meridians have been sealed off.
By pressing the last acupoint in the center of the chest, the blood evil can be forced into the right-side meridian and then drawn out of the body through the arm.
Unfortunately, the last spot is the most troublesome.
The acupoint is located directly above the heart meridian, and is covered by a soft curve. If it is slightly off-center, it will be the heart meridian that is impacted, not the meridian itself.
Chu Yunfei adjusted the angle of his palm, slightly curled his fingers, and accurately placed his palm on the last acupoint.
The realistic touch threw him into a panic.
"This woman really keeps things well hidden..."
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Chu Yunfei cursed himself inwardly and immediately focused all his attention on controlling his spiritual energy.
Three acupoints were simultaneously blocked.
The wisp of blood energy finally had nowhere to retreat and was forcibly forced into the right side of the meridian.
Chu Yunfei released a suction force from his palm.
The dark red power moved along the meridians to her arm, and with each inch it passed, Ling Xueyao's body would tremble slightly.
Her tightly closed eyelashes began to tremble.
The darkness deep within my consciousness quickly faded.
Chu Yunfei was unaware of these changes.
The last wisp of blood essence had reached the meridians of his right arm; only the final step remained.
At this time, you must not be distracted.
"Come out!"
Chu Yunfei gave a low shout.
The refining power of the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate surged from his palm, forcibly dragging the last wisp of blood evil from his heart meridian.
Dark red mist seeped from Ling Xueyao's skin and all of it entered Chu Yunfei's palm.
Flames rose within the Divine Cauldron.
The dark red mist was completely dissipated in the flames as soon as it was introduced into the cauldron.
The Flawless Spirit Physique within Ling Xueyao's body was no longer suppressed.
Pure white light spread along her meridians, healing the injuries along the way.
Chu Yunfei finally let out a breath of stale air.
"It's finally over."
Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly felt a distinct undulation beneath his palm.
Chu Yunfei froze.
Ling Xueyao's eyelashes fluttered a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze was initially somewhat unfocused.
After a few breaths, consciousness gradually returned.
Ling Xueyao first noticed the dimly lit stone wall.
Immediately afterwards, she felt an unusual sensation on her chest.
She slowly lowered her head.
Her tattered long dress had been unbuttoned, exposing large areas of skin.
Chu Yunfei knelt beside her, one hand firmly pressed against her chest.
Their eyes met.
The bottom of the abyss fell silent instantly.
Chu Yunfei's lips twitched, and he spoke first:
"Your Highness, the power of the Blood Baleful Intent Soul-Locking Formation remains in your body. I was just clearing your meridians."
He paused, then added:
"You'd better not move around too much, lest you aggravate your injury."
Ling Xueyao's pale cheeks quickly flushed red.
She first looked at her disheveled clothes, then looked down at Chu Yunfei's hand that had not yet moved away.
Shame and anger gradually overcame her weakness.
The next moment.
A golden rapier flew out of the storage ring.
The cold blade was pressed directly against Chu Yunfei's throat.
Ling Xueyao gritted her teeth and roared, each word distinct and forceful:
"Chu, Yun, Fei."
