Chapter 564: Return to Lei Huo Dan Ge

For a moment, the team members discussed how to maximize the effect of the Star Purple Spirit Flower.

Each of them could contribute to Zi Xi'er's recovery, letting her regain health soon. Returning to Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan and the team breathed the tranquil air, rediscovering this place's unique atmosphere.

Everyone knows we need to rest well and discuss the next plan.

Zi Xi'er lay on the bed, her gaze gradually regaining its luster.

Seeing Lu Yuan and the others return, she smiled and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Lu Yuan stepped forward, gently holding Zi Xi'er's hand, and said sincerely, "Zi Xi'er, you are the most important member of our team."

"We will not miss any chance to help you recover your health."

Su Liyan also walked to the bedside, gently patting Zi Xi'er's hand back, saying, "You are our friend; we will always stay by your side to face any difficulty together."

Mo Di stood by the window looking at the scenery; a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Although the Blood Moon Sect is strong, as long as we unite, we can definitely defeat them."

After encouraging each other, they began discussing the next plan. Inside the alchemy room, rich medicinal fragrance spread; Lu Yuan, wearing a white robe, focused intently on conducting the alchemy experiment.

Various medicinal ingredients and alchemy tools were placed beside him, his movements skilled and precise.

The team members gathered around Lu Yuan, trusting him completely and greatly admiring his profound immortal arts.

The important matter now is how to use the Soul Nourishing Pill to help other team members raise their cultivation.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's focused demeanor, feeling admiration: "Lu Yuan truly is our soul's pillar."

Mo Di also nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

"With just us, we cannot resist the Blood Moon Sect."

"Only by increasing our strength can we have greater confidence."

Zi Xi'er quietly watched Lu Yuan's busy figure, knowing this battle is extremely important for everyone.

She gently pinched the "Cold Jade Ice Shard" in her hand; this pair of treasures is both her strongest backing and her deepest reliance on Lu Yuan.

Zi Xi'er's sister, Zi Cui Ling, although unable to join, sent some clansmen to provide support.

The Ziyun Clan is an alliance of humans and the Dragon Clan; they have generation after generation fought against evil cult forces.

Now, this struggle has evolved into a battle of righteousness versus evil.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor then appeared from Tian Ting, offering guidance to Lu Yuan and others at the regular master-disciple exchange meeting.

Although he only shows up in critical moments, he constantly watches over this team.

He knows the future battle will be extremely fierce and arduous.

"Lu Yuan, do you think we can use the Soul Nourishing Pill to boost the cultivation of other team members?" Su Liyan asked with a hint of anticipation.

Lu Yuan stopped his actions, set aside the carefully prepared potion he held, and slowly turned around.

He frowned slightly, pondered a moment, then said, "The Soul Nourishing Pill is a very precious treasure; only after special processing can it enhance cultivation effects."

"I think we can try it first, but tomorrow is the day we head to the Underground Secret Realm."

Su Liyan frowned: "Yes, the Underground Secret Realm below is quite dangerous; we must respond carefully."

"However, if we succeed in raising our cultivation, it will be a great help for us."

Mo Di calmly analyzed: "I think we should give it a try."

"Even if it fails to boost cultivation, it will let us understand the Soul Nourishing Pill's function better."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Then let's do that."

"We will only know the result after trying."

He once again immersed himself in the alchemy experiment.

Zi Xi'er gently inhaled the medicinal fragrance filling the room, feeling warmth and power surge within her body.

She sat upright on the bed, holding the tightly grasped Cold Jade Ice Shard, which lay prostrate around her.

Feeling Lu Yuan and the team's selfless dedication and protection, vigorous vitality gradually arose in her heart. Yet she saw Lu Yuan fall silent for a moment, then coldly observe the Profound Yellow Sect envoy.

He understood that the other party only valued Lei Huo Dan Ge's influence, seeking to strengthen their own power through a marriage proposal.

Faced with such calculation, he felt no interest.

However, as he pondered how to refuse, a clear, cold voice suddenly sounded: "Lu Yuan, shouldn't you place greater importance on cooperation?"

"We need the support of powers to survive under the Blood Moon Sect's pressure."

Lu Yuan turned his head, seeing Lan Xue'er appear in the room.

She frowned slightly as she looked at him, full of dissatisfaction and worry.

"Lan Xue'er..."

Lu Yuan sighed, "I know cooperation is important, but I cannot blindly accept a marriage proposal that only values Lei Huo Dan Ge's influence."

"I need some time to think."

The Profound Yellow Sect envoy, seeing this, was neither angry nor disappointed, maintaining a smile: "All right, Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan, please consider carefully."

"If you change your mind, please contact me as soon as possible."

Having said that, he bade farewell and left.

After the Profound Yellow Sect envoy left, Lan Xue'er walked to Lu Yuan's side, her expression still carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "Lu Yuan, your treatment of power cooperation is utterly irresponsible!"

"Our living space is shrinking; without other powers' support, we will hardly resist the Blood Moon Sect's offensive."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows; although he understood Lan Xue'er's view on power cooperation, he focused more on enhancing his own strength and striking against the evil cult.

He took a deep breath, thinking carefully before answering.

"Lan Xue'er, I understand your worry."

"But I cannot merely neglect what is most important now for the sake of fame, profit, and power."

"We must first boost our own strength to truly withstand the threat from the Blood Moon Sect."

"Otherwise, more cooperation would be useless." Lan Xue'er's words left Lu Yuan shocked and curious; he stared intently at her eyes, trying to find an answer.

Lan Xue'er sensed Lu Yuan's doubt and curiosity; she looked at him firmly, her words revealing confidence and determination.

Lu Yuan, I am a descendant of the Ice Phoenix Clan.

Our clan has existed in this world for thousands of years and is renowned for its profound ice-system immortal arts.

However, due to our clan's strict prohibition against intermarriage with humans, there lies an unbridgeable chasm between us.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

He had heard of the powerful legends of the Ice Phoenix Clan; everyone knows their strength is extraordinarily great.

However, he felt immense heartache for the pressure Lan Xue'er bears hidden behind her identity. (End of chapter)
