After seven days of recuperation, Xiao Chen finally removed the backlash. The medicinal ingredients he needed weren’t rare heavenly treasures. He could find them in this mortal world if he searched for more.

As for Leng Baihu, it wasn’t too slow to learn the Imperial Sword Technique. The medicine from a few days ago was also very good. However, after Xiao Chen took the medicine from yesterday, he had a faint feeling that there was something wrong. It was this morning that he had Leng Baihu go out to refill the medicine.

At this moment, in the small courtyard outside the thatched cottage, there were a few pairs of medicinal herbs decocted on the stove. The medicinal fragrance slowly spread out into the valley. This medicinal fragrance seemed to be a little too strong.

Inside the room, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and placed his hands on his dantian. A faint profound light appeared on his chest. White smoke was constantly rising from behind him, and a layer of cold sweat was condensed on his forehead.

“No, what’s going on …”

Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed. At this moment, he felt as if his dantian was burning. He muttered to himself, “Earth Dragon, Pueraria, Three Immortal Leaves … Heavenly Heart Grass, Nanjing Wood … That’s right, but what’s going on with this burning energy …”

Is there something wrong with the mental energy technique, or is there something wrong with the medicine that Xiao Bai brought back …

Thinking about the past few days, he forcefully suppressed his cultivation and sealed his meridians. Doing so would cause his cultivation to become chaotic. If there were any more problems with his mental energy, it was indeed possible for such a situation to occur.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen no longer carelessly suspected him. He immediately adjusted his inner breath and started circulating the Jade Heart Technique of the first level, the Ice Heart Technique of the second level, the Heaven of the third level, and the Ice Heart Jade Technique of the fourth level of the Jade Light Heart Technique …

After an incense stick of time passed, the medicine outside was almost done. Xiao Chen still closed his eyes. As he inhaled the medicinal fragrance floating in through the window, he felt a little annoyed. No matter how he circulated the Jade Light Heart Technique, it was difficult to remove the annoyance. This feeling was even spreading throughout his body.

“What exactly is going on …”

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly found it difficult to even circulate his cultivation. At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside. The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer.

“White Fox?”

Xiao Chen’s expression immediately froze. There was something wrong with this footstep …

At this moment, he seemed to feel danger approaching. He slowly took out Fuxi Zither and placed it on the table. He said to the outside, “I wonder which friend is coming from outside.”

“Azure mountains surround, green water flowing. This valley is rich in spiritual energy. Venerable Lord Xiao knows how to find a place.”

A calm voice came into the room. However, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change. He seemed to have already calculated something. He only said indifferently, “So what did Zi Weisi do to find this place?”

Outside the courtyard, a man dressed in Zi Yi walked over. The man had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, his hands behind his back, but his appearance was somewhat cold. It was none other than Zi Weisi.

Zi Weisi said indifferently, “Venerable Xiao’s main medicinal ingredients are extremely difficult to find in the mortal world. How can ordinary mortals use them …”

“Oh? Zi Weisi is very observant …”

There was still no change on Xiao Chen’s face, But as he spoke, However, he slowly placed his finger on Fuxi Zither. In the courtyard outside, Zi Weisi still approached him step by step and said indifferently, “The Heavenly Heart Grass and the Heavenly Sunflower Leaf originally grew from the same root. The difference is that the Heavenly Heart Grass grew in the cold winter and December, while the Heavenly Sunflower Leaf grew in the middle of June … These two medicinal ingredients, be it appearance, smell, or even medicinal properties, are extremely difficult to distinguish.”

As Zi Weisi spoke, he was getting closer and closer to the thatched cottage. Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, he vaguely understood something. This Zi Weisi was truly formidable. He was able to sit at the head of the seven palaces not only because of his cultivation.

Zi Weisi continued, “As for the two medicines, they are spiritual medicines if used correctly and poisons if used wrongly. What Lord Xiao needs should be yin-attributed Heavenly Heart Grass to neutralize the Yang flames in his body. Two days ago, I went to a pharmacy in a nearby town. Anyone who has Heavenly Heart Grass, I will replace it with Heavenly Sunflower Leaves.”

“So that’s how it is. Zi Weisi is really brilliant …”

Xiao Chen’s cold laugh came from inside the hut. No wonder he felt that something was wrong from yesterday onwards. It was only because he trusted Leng Baihu too much. He believed that Leng Baihu would not make a mistake with the medicine, and thought that something was wrong with his mental energy. How could he have imagined that Zi Weisi was as proficient in pharmacology as him?

Zi Weisi said lightly, “The Heavenly Sunflower Leaf grew in the midsummer of June. It belongs to Yang, and opposes the inner Yang fire of Venerable Xiao’s main body. Now that the Yang fire is attacking his heart, how does it feel for Lord Xiao to consume the poison he refined?”

Inside the room, Xiao Chen felt as if his dantian was burning with flames. It felt uncomfortable. Normally, even if he used the wrong medicine and caused Yang Fire to attack his heart, it wouldn’t be a big problem. He only needed to use his subordinates and emissaries to recuperate.

However, it was different now. He was already at a critical stage of cultivation breakthrough. Forget about forcibly suppressing True Qi and sealing his meridians, he had even used the wrong medicine. He had turned the spirit medicine into poison. Now, it was most likely due to luck that it would cause a backlash against his heart.

Right at this moment, a faint voice came from outside, “Venerable Lord Xiao, at this moment, Yang Fire is attacking the heart, and the backlash is imminent. If you continue to forcefully circulate your cultivation, your cultivation will be ruined here. Furthermore, your heart meridians will be broken, and all your internal organs will be damaged. Even if you survive, you will remain in bed for your entire life. Life is worse than death.”

As Zi Weisi spoke, he approached the hut. This was not alarmist talk. Xiao Chen, who was sitting in the hut, could only feel the intense pain in his dantian. It was like a burning fire, like a needle. Even his hand that was placed on Fuxi Zither trembled slightly.

“The three Daoists only want Sovereign Lord Xiao. And today, is Sovereign Lord Xiao still unwilling to admit defeat?”

“Admit defeat?”

A cold laugh came from inside the room. Immediately after, a fierce force surged out. At this moment, Zi Weisi sensed danger and quickly jumped back. With a “zheng” sound, the entire thatched cottage and the courtyard were destroyed by the zheng sound. The zheng sound was like a solid sword energy as it ferociously swept towards Zi Weisi.

Even though Xiao Chen was in a bad situation, the might of Fuxi Zither could not be underestimated. Zi Weisi condensed all of his Genuine energy to resist, and with a “boom”, he was pushed back a hundred feet.

Taking advantage of the flash of time, Xiao Chen put away Fuxi Zither and instantly used his qinggong to fly up the cliff. Zi Weisi flicked his fingers and with a “whoosh” sound, a finger shot towards him.

This finger force seemed to be ordinary, but it was not ordinary. Even at Xiao Chen’s peak, he still had to deal with it carefully, let alone now.

Fortunately, his Spiritual Sense was still clear. He could feel the finger power coming from behind him. Ling Xian Step spread out in an instant and moved a distance of ten zhang to the side. With a “boom”, that seemingly ordinary finger power shattered the mountain in front of him.

Large chunks of mountain rubble were buried towards him, blocking his path. At this moment, Zi Weisi also flew up in an instant. He raised his hand and his entire body was enveloped in purple gas. With a single palm, he struck towards him.

This palm strike was earth-shattering, and the clouds in the sky surged. In a critical situation, Xiao Chen had to forcefully transport Genuine energy. However, the moment he circulated his power, a sharp pain immediately came from his dantian. Even his hundred acupoints seemed to be about to split apart.

“Bang!”

With a loud explosion, Xiao Chen only managed to raise his three Success Points. He was knocked flying backwards by Zi Weisi’s palm strike, and fresh blood snatched out of his mouth.

Although Zi Weisi was temporarily in a favorable position, he had no choice but to be cautious. He thought that this person had already suffered such a backlash and was actually able to forge ahead with his cultivation. Once he was allowed to remove the backlash and break through his cultivation, he was afraid that at that time, the outcome of life and death would be unknown.

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s entire body was in extreme pain. Every inch of his skin seemed to be about to be torn apart by true qi. Could it be that he really wanted to die here today?

At this moment, he immediately made up his mind. Without hesitation, he forcefully circulated his cultivation technique and executed the Instant Step Cosmos. In an instant, he disappeared into the horizon.

Zi Weisi looked at the horizon where he had disappeared. His eyes narrowed slightly. With his spiritual sense, how could Xiao Chen escape even if he had escaped a thousand miles away?

At this moment, Xiao Chen fled a thousand miles and landed on the ground. A mouthful of blood gushed out. The skin on his body had already begun to show signs of burning. Even his eyes were slowly covered with blood.

He didn’t dare to delay. His aura hadn’t been evenly mixed yet, so he could only continue to flee forward. However, not long after, a violet figure suddenly flew out from the clouds and a palm print that was a hundred feet long shot over.

Xiao Chen ignored the backlash and fiercely urged Genuine energy. His Great Freedom Palm instantly condensed into a palm print. With a “rumble”, it collided with Zi Weisi’s palm force, causing the nearby mountains to collapse.

“Pu!”

Another mouthful of blood gushed out. Xiao Chen’s heart almost burned under his powerful luck. However, if he were to fall into this person’s hands, he knew what the consequences would be. He would rather die with his entire body’s meridians broken than fall into the hands of the Heavenless Palace.

The two of them chased after the wind and lightning like this. When dusk fell, they did not know where they had arrived. However, seeing the steep mountain peaks and the prominent terrain here, it was even stranger that there seemed to be a particularly powerful Spiritual Energy condensing beneath the numerous mountain peaks. However, how could such a powerful Spiritual Energy condense in the Land of Mortality?

Zi Weisi did not care about the doubts in his heart. He raised his hand and gathered Genuine energy again. In an instant, he formed a palm print and grabbed Xiao Chen.

At the moment of life and death, Xiao Chen could no longer care about that much. His hands formed seals and he chanted. At this moment, his entire body seemed to be on fire, and his strength increased by countless times. In an instant, he unexpectedly executed Xuan Qing’s forbidden technique, the Three Elements Heart Burning Technique.

“Boom!”

With a single palm strike, not only did Zi Weisi’s palm print dissipate, it also caused him to continuously retreat tens of feet.

After Zi Weisi steadied himself, he couldn’t help but be slightly shocked. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s entire body was burning like fire. Even his eyes seemed to be burning with flames. Although Zi Weisi didn’t know what kind of cultivation technique this was, he thought it must be a forbidden technique. If this person used the forbidden technique again, could it be that he didn’t want to die?

“Rumble!”

At this moment, the mountain range below suddenly trembled. An unusual Spiritual Energy surged out from all directions. Zi Weisi’s expression changed again. What was going on?

But right now, he couldn’t care less about this change. He knew that he had to quickly capture this person. Thinking of this, he didn’t hesitate any longer. Genuine energy was lucky again and flew towards Xiao Chen in an instant.

At this moment, the blood in Xiao Chen’s body seemed to be boiling. With a palm strike, the two of them collided in the air, causing the surrounding mountains to shake endlessly.

“You …”

Zi Weisi’s eyes narrowed. At this moment, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. He said in a deep voice, “You don’t want your life anymore?”

“Even if I die, I still need Zi Weisi to accompany me in my burial today …”

Xiao Chen’s gaze suddenly became somewhat frightening. In the next moment, he no longer cared about backlash. In an instant, he revolved the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique backwards. Not only did he reverse the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique, he also revolved the Xuan Qing technique and the technique contained in the Heavenly Book Fragment.

In the past, he didn’t dare to try, but at this moment, he completely ignored life and death. At this moment, his five inner parts were all burned, but his strength had increased by more than ten times!

“Shit …”

Zi Weisi felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late. In the next instant, Xiao Chen had already slapped his palm towards him. The power of this palm was like a volcano that had been silent for 10,000 years. It erupted in an unstoppable manner!

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, Even though Zi Weisi had condensed seven Success Points in an instant, the moment his palm power struck, the Genuine energy around him shattered layer by layer. It was as weak as an eggshell. His entire body was sent flying, smashing the nearby mountain peaks into pieces. The last mouthful of blood spurted out. His meridians were almost as broken as Xiao Chen’s, and his internal organs were damaged!
