Chapter 613: Immortal of Medicine, the Cold Spring of the Nine Netherworlds

The aftershocks of the Purifying Heavenly Tribulation were still surging over the Mo Jie.

Although the silver lightning had dissipated, that pure power continued to spread like ripples, shrouding the entire Mo Jie in a holy radiance.

Lin Xuan held the unconscious Xiao Yuan tightly, feeling the rapid weakening of the godhead within her.

Xiao Yuan's complexion was as pale as paper, her breathing was faint, and the divine power within her was so weak it was almost imperceptible.

"Damn it! It's all my fault!" Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with tears, his voice trembling, "If I could have been stronger, Xiao Yuan wouldn't have had to risk using a forbidden divine ability!"

Zhang Wuji walked over quickly, his expression anxious.

"Lin Xuan, now is not the time for self-reproach!" Zhang Wuji said in a deep voice, "We must immediately find a way to save Xiao Yuan!"

Taixuan Laozu took out a rejuvenating Pill he had treasured for many years.

This was a pill emitting a faint green light, said to be capable of healing any severe injury.

"This is the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill I have treasured," Taixuan Laozu handed the Pill to Lin Xuan, "Quickly, give it to Xiao Yuan!"

Lin Xuan carefully fed the Pill to Xiao Yuan.

However, to their despair, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill melted upon contact with her mouth but produced no effect whatsoever.

The cracks in Xiao Yuan's godhead not only failed to heal but continued to widen.

Seeing this, the Danding Zong Zongzhu immediately performed a life-force restoration technique.

Green life-force energy surged from his hands, surrounding Xiao Yuan's body.

But as soon as this life-force energy touched Xiao Yuan, it was immediately shattered by the residual Heavenly Tribulation power within her.

"It's no use!" the Danding Zong Zongzhu shook his head, "The Heavenly Tribulation power within her is too tyrannical; ordinary healing methods are completely ineffective!"

Jianchi Laozu also attempted to use sword Qi to clear Xiao Yuan's meridians, but he too returned empty-handed.

Other cultivators successively performed their own healing Secret Techniques, yet none had any effect.

Watching his beloved's life force slipping away bit by bit, a deep sense of despair welled up in Lin Xuan's heart.

"Is there truly no way?" Lin Xuan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, "I absolutely will not allow anything to happen to Xiao Yuan!"

Just as everyone was at their wit's end, the crisp sound of a bell came from afar.

"Ding-a-ling... ding-a-ling..."

The bell sound was melodious and pleasant, echoing through the ruins of the Mo Jie like heavenly music.

As the bell sound drew near, a middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes walked over slowly.

This woman was about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance, but her eyes held the wisdom of a deep, starry sea.

She carried a medicine chest and had a string of silver bells tied to her waist, which emitted a crisp sound with every step she took.

"Everyone, there is no need to panic," the middle-aged woman's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, "This humble one is Xiao Yisheng, just awakened by the power of the Purifying Heavenly Tribulation."

Hearing the name "Xiao Yisheng," Zhang Wuji and the others were stunned.

"Xiao Yisheng? Could it be the legendary Immortal of Medicine from the Primordial Era?" Taixuan Laozu said in shock.

Xiao Yisheng nodded slightly.

"It is indeed this humble one," she looked at the unconscious Xiao Yuan, "The aftershocks of the Purifying Heavenly Tribulation awakened my dormant memories and also reminded me of my mission."

Hearing that someone could save Xiao Yuan, Lin Xuan immediately knelt down.

"Senior! Please save Xiao Yuan! I am willing to pay any price!"

Xiao Yisheng did not let Lin Xuan rise, but instead walked to Xiao Yuan's side to examine her carefully.

Her hands moved over Xiao Yuan's body, pausing for a moment at each point of contact, as if sensing something.

After examining her for a long time, Xiao Yisheng's expression became grave.

"The situation is more complex than imagined," Xiao Yisheng said slowly, "The godhead of the Purifying Immortal is indeed severely damaged, but..."

"But what?" Lin Xuan asked urgently.

"But because of the backlash from the Purifying Heavenly Tribulation, her godhead has instead gained a chance for a special evolution," a strange light flashed in Xiao Yisheng's eyes, "If treated properly, she may not only recover but also awaken an unprecedented ability of precognition."

Hearing this, everyone showed expressions of hope.

"Then how should she be treated?" Zhang Wuji asked.

Xiao Yisheng pondered for a moment.

"It requires the water from the Han Quan of Jiuyou Gu," she said slowly, "It is a divine spring that has existed since the Primordial Era and can repair all damage to a godhead."

"Where is the Han Quan?" Lin Xuan asked immediately.

Xiao Yisheng's expression became serious.

"It is in the Jiuyou Gu in the deepest part of the Mo Jie," she said, "But that is the lair of the Shadow Legion, and the danger is unimaginable."

Hearing that it was the lair of the Shadow Legion, everyone's expressions changed.

The Shadow Legion was the most mysterious and dangerous unit under the command of Nitian Mozun; they were all masters of assassination, powerful and elusive.

"Moreover, there are many Restrictions left over from the Primordial Era in the Jiuyou Gu," Xiao Yisheng continued, "A moment of carelessness will lead to death and annihilation."

But hearing of these dangers, Lin Xuan did not hesitate in the slightest.

"I'll go!" Lin Xuan said without hesitation, "Even if I have to go through fire and water, I must save Xiao Yuan!"

Zhang Wuji patted Lin Xuan on the shoulder.

"Brother, I'll go with you!" Zhang Wuji said firmly, "We are Life and Death Together, how can I let you take the risk alone?"

Taixuan Laozu and the others also expressed their desire to accompany them.

But Xiao Yisheng shook her head.

"The Restrictions of the Jiuyou Gu are very special; too many people will only make it easier to trigger the mechanisms," she said, "At most, only three people can enter."

Lin Xuan immediately made a decision.

"Then it will be me, Zhang Wuji, and you, Senior, going together!"

Xiao Yisheng nodded.

"Very well, this Daoist is quite familiar with the situation in Jiuyou Gu and can lead the way for you all."

Ancestor Taixuan was somewhat worried.

"But there are only three of you; how will you deal with the entire Shadow Legion?"

A resolute light flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"The Coalition Army is currently locked in fierce battle with the Blood Prison Legion, so it is impossible for the Shadow Legion to deploy their entire force," he analyzed, "As long as we avoid the main body of their troops, we should have a chance to sneak into Han Quan."

Xiao Yisheng took a Pill that emitted a faint glow from her medicine chest.

"This is a Life-Sustaining Pill; it can maintain the life of the Purifying World Immortal for three days," she said, feeding the Pill to Xiao Yuan, "We must retrieve the spring water from Han Quan within three days."

As the Pill entered her mouth, Xiao Yuan's aura indeed stabilized somewhat.

Although she remained unconscious, at least she was no longer in mortal danger.

Lin Xuan looked at his beloved's pale face, and endless determination welled up in his heart.

"Xiao Yuan, wait for me," he said, gently stroking Xiao Yuan's cheek, "I will definitely save you!"

Xiao Yisheng stood up.

"There is no time to lose; we shall set off now," she said, "The journey to Jiuyou Gu is long, and the sooner we act, the less likely we are to be discovered."

Zhang Wuji checked his equipment.

"My God-Slaying Spear has already tasted the blood of countless foes; it is the perfect time to test its power on the people of the Shadow Legion!"

Ancestor Taixuan handed his Taixuan Divine Sword to Lin Xuan.
