The Separation Succeeds

The two days passed quickly, and Sang Ying, who was completely immersed in meditation, was eventually awakened by Jiang Zhuoxue's knocking on the door.

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, the head of the Min Household and his steward were already waiting. Although they were very anxious, they remained respectful and did not come up to disturb them.

Jiang Zhuoxue was very pleased with the Min Household's understanding and tact, so he didn't delay and quickly called Sang Ying to go out together.

For some reason, Sang Ying brought Gu Shu along that day, which was unprecedented for her.

When Gu Shu asked about it in surprise, Sang Ying hesitated for a moment before answering, "I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always feel that leaving you in that room might lead to something unexpected."

Gu Shu, who had been grinning, immediately changed his expression upon hearing this.

"A cultivator's intuition is the sharpest; if you feel something's wrong, then something's wrong. I originally thought that inn was just an ordinary inn, but now it seems there's some intriguing secret hidden inside." The chubby-faced Gu Shu revealed a smile of great interest.

Sang Ying secretly kept his words in mind, but did not say anything more to Jiang Zhuoxue.

The two people and the spirit creature followed the Min Household back to the Min Household, where many preparations had already been made.

Jiang Zhuoxue only said she needed a bowl of water and a small knife, but the Min Household was probably a little nervous, so they prepared more than they needed.

Not only were the best water and knives used, but even Rejuvenation Pill, medical practitioners, and array masters were prepared.

When Sang Ying and the other looked over in surprise, the Household Head Min rubbed his hands and explained, "We were worried that something might happen when our esteemed guest took action, so we prepared medical supplies and elixirs to replenish his Spiritual Qi at any time. The array master has already set up an array near Renjie's house so that no one will disturb our esteemed guest."

Sang Ying hadn't expected them to be this cautious. "Forget about the medical skills and elixirs, but since you've already set up the formation, go ahead."

Anyway, before Jiang Zhuoxue makes a move, Sang Ying will definitely set up another plan herself.

This was not only to ensure everything went smoothly, but also to prevent Jiang Zhuoxue's secret from being exposed.

Although the Curse Hidden Nether Realm wasn't actually Jiang Zhuoxue's fault, those who had been tormented by the Curse and driven mad probably no longer possessed the rationality to distinguish right from wrong. Once they realized that what had turned them into that state was the blood of Jiang Zhuoxue that had seeped into their veins, it would be a huge blow.

Sang Ying fears that Jiang Zhuoxue will once again relive her painful past in this Hidden Nether Realm.

Seeing Sang Ying's calm demeanor, the Min Household, who were initially somewhat nervous, were gradually soothed by her composure.

"Then, let's go see Renjie now." The Household Head Min said, leading the two towards the room where his grandson lived.

As soon as the group stepped into Min Renjie's courtyard, a childish and curious voice came from inside the house. "Did Grandpa bring my benefactor?"

Benefactor?

Jiang Zhuoxue smiled lightly at the Household Head Min.

The Household Head Min explained somewhat embarrassedly, "After the child woke up, he kept saying he hadn't seen you two. We were in such a hurry that we didn't have time to ask how you two were addressed, so we just had him call you our benefactors."

Jiang Zhuoxue nodded and hummed in response.

As soon as they entered, the child's big, bright eyes immediately turned to them.

Min Renjie was noticeably better today than he had been two days ago. His pale complexion had finally regained some vitality, and although the red marks on his face had not yet faded, he no longer looked like he was about to die.

It's clear that the Min Household has been taking good care of Min Renjie's health these past few days. Judging from his current condition, it should be relatively easy for him to survive the process of stripping away the dragon blood.

Seeing Jiang Zhuoxue scrutinizing his son, Young Master Min asked somewhat nervously, "Your Excellency, how do you see my son's current condition? Will this separation proceed smoothly?"

Jiang Zhuoxue nodded and answered "Yes," and everyone present breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Now that everyone had arrived and everything was arranged, they didn't linger and quickly left, leaving the room to Sang Ying and the others.

Before leaving, Madam Min hugged her son again and whispered to him, "You must be a good boy and listen to your two benefactors. I know it will hurt a little, but after the pain, you will grow up healthy like a normal child. Promise me you will bear it and get through it, okay?"

Min Renjie looked at his mother and nodded earnestly. "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get through this. Our family will continue to be together."

Only after receiving her son's assurance did Mrs. Min, with tears in her eyes, allow her husband to lead her out of the room.

The array outside lit up instantly, and Sang Ying inside the room set up an array that only those with a cultivation level of Spirit Transformation or higher could enter.

Incidentally, she also set up the Spirit Gathering Formation that Wen Miaoshu had modified here.

Feeling the instantly comfortable environment, Min Renjie was the first to exclaim, "Wow, my fairy benefactor just moved a few times, and the room is so much more comfortable!"

Sang Ying smiled but didn't say anything more. Jiang Zhuoxue leaned closer and whispered, "There's no need to do this for me. I still have plenty of Spiritual Qi in my body; I can withstand the drain."

"What, are you asking me to tear it down?" Sang Ying said irritably.

Jiang Zhuoxue naturally shook his head. It was Sang Ying who cared for him; he was just saying it casually and wouldn't refuse such a kind offer.

The matter was quickly dropped. He straightened Min Renjie on the bed and laid the child flat.

"Close your eyes." Upon hearing his fairy benefactor's soft instruction, Min Renjie hurriedly closed his eyes.

Then, soothed by Sang Ying's Spiritual Power, he fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Zhuoxue, standing by the bed, picked up the dagger prepared by the Min Household and gently made a cut between Min Renjie's eyebrows. Surprisingly, even though the flesh was cut open, not a drop of blood flowed from the wound.

"It's starting," Jiang Zhuoxue said softly.

His hand, which was forming Method Formula, slowly approached Min Renjie. The red markings all over the child's body seemed to be summoned by something, and they surged wildly toward Min Renjie's brow.

Even though Min Renjie was asleep, his body still twitched uncontrollably. Seeing this, Sang Ying also made Hand Seals and used gentle Spiritual Power to control his limbs.

Red Pattern was still struggling, seemingly still attached to the young child.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhuoxue could only increase her intensity, and the few drops of dragon blood that had long been mixed in with Min Renjie's bloodline boiled completely at this moment.

The child's cries of pain escaped his lips, and Madam Min, standing outside the door, immediately burst into tears. She nestled in her husband's arms, sobbing and blaming herself, "It's all my fault, all my fault... I'm the one who passed this wretched thing on to Renjie."

Dragon blood, once coveted by everyone in the Cultivation World, has now become something the Min Household avoids like the plague.

After another piercing scream, Madam Min's ears were already plugged by her husband.

He whispered to his wife, "It will pass, it will pass. Everything will be alright, our son will be back to normal soon."

Meanwhile, inside the room, three slightly darker drops of blood finally slowly floated out from between Min Renjie's eyebrows.

Min Renjie, who was originally covered in red markings, has also completely returned to normal.

"It's a success," Jiang Zhuoxue whispered. The three drops of blood flew into their original owner's arms the moment they left Min Renjie's body.
