Chapter 563: Miraculous Healing Art, A Rare Medical Treasure (Happy May 1st, Vote for Monthly Ticket)

In the valley, the spiritual energy fluctuated intensely.

A large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed by the woman, aiding her in recovering from her injuries.

Core Formation Realm experts possessed an incredibly robust vitality.

Even if they had just a sliver of life force, if they could absorb spiritual energy on their own, there was a chance for survival and recovery.

Moreover, Lu Qing had helped her reset her broken bones and reopened her meridians.

In addition, the white fruit juice she had consumed earlier accelerated her healing.

After a quarter of an hour, the woman temporarily stopped absorbing spiritual energy.

By then, her body had largely recovered, with only her mana remaining weak and no other major issues.

Even the terrifying scars on her face had completely healed, revealing her originally exquisite beauty.

Lu Qing naturally sensed this and promptly withdrew the golden needles from her body.

The woman's floating body slowly descended to the ground.

She bowed deeply to Lu Qing, expressing her gratitude: "Thank you, Daoist friend, for saving me."

Although the woman was still unaware of what had happened during her unconsciousness, it was clear that the young man before her had saved her.

"Don't mention it. I merely did what anyone would do. We can't just watch someone die. Lady, are you still feeling any discomfort?" Lu Qing smiled.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye!"

Just as the woman was about to respond, a figure suddenly rushed over and embraced her.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, you're finally awake. We thought you were... gone."

"I'm fine, Xiao Jing. I told you all to run away. Why are you still here? What happened afterward? Where are Zi Xiao and the others?"

The woman gently held the girl, asking with a hint of exasperation.

This impulsive girl, fortunately, her injuries were already mostly healed, otherwise, such a sudden embrace might have worsened her condition.

"Right, Senior Zi Xiao and the others!" Hearing the woman's question, the girl suddenly remembered, "They're over there!"

The woman followed the girl's gaze and saw Zi Xiao and two others lying on a large stone, her heart sinking.

"What happened to Zi Xiao and the others?"

She had been so focused on healing herself that she hadn't noticed they were nearby.

Moreover, their auras were extremely weak, clearly indicating severe injuries.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, it happened like this. In the Hermitage Cave, you held off Li Motian alone while telling us to escape..."

"Senior Zi Xiao and the others fought Li Motian to the death to let me escape. But later, I was also caught by Li Motian. It was this Daoist friend who saved me."

After hearing the girl's words, the woman realized that something terrible had happened after she fell unconscious.

"What about Li Motian? Did he escape?"

However, the girl's response shocked her.

"Li Motian is dead."

"What? Li Motian is dead? How did he die? Are you sure?" the woman asked urgently.

"Li Motian was killed by this Daoist friend. His body is in the forest about ten miles from here. I was worried about your safety and didn't have time to check his body before rushing here."

"Killed by this Daoist friend?"

The woman immediately looked at Lu Qing.

Lu Qing nodded slightly: "If you mean the man who emitted demonic aura, then yes, I killed him."

"Li Motian is really dead..."

The woman was astonished.

She had personally fought Li Motian and knew how powerful he was after falling to the dark path. As a Demon Cultivator, Li Motian's strength had reached the late Golden Core stage.

Otherwise, as a Sixth Rotation Golden Core cultivator, she wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

Moreover, after obtaining the treasure in the Hermitage Cave, Li Motian's strength had clearly increased, along with his bizarre demonic techniques.

Such a powerful Li Motian was actually killed by this ordinary-looking, seemingly unremarkable young man with an unassuming aura?

For a moment, the woman felt both shocked and disbelieving.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, you don't know how amazing this Daoist friend is!

Li Motian used all his strength to set up a terrifying demonic array, but he was no match for this Daoist friend.

This Daoist friend only used one move to completely kill Li Motian!"

The girl said with admiration.

"Only one move to kill Li Motian?"

The woman was thoroughly shocked and stared at Lu Qing.

"This lady is exaggerating. I also used almost all my strength to kill the Demon Cultivator."

Lu Qing broke into a slight sweat and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, your companions seem to be in bad shape. Should we go check on them first?"

Seeing that Lu Qing didn't deny it, the woman realized that what Xiao Jing said was true.

She was shocked, but when she heard Lu Qing's words, she was startled again and looked toward Zi Xiao and the others.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye!" The girl also reacted and hurriedly said, "Li Motian didn't kill you outright, but Senior Zi Xiao and the others are still unconscious.

I gave them the sect's Jade Dew Revitalizing Pill, but it didn't work well."

"Even the Jade Dew Revitalizing Pill didn't work? What's going on? Let me see!"

The woman, though incredibly curious about Lu Qing, knew that her fellow sect members' safety was more important.

Suppressing her questions, she went over to Zi Xiao and the others.

When she saw their condition, her pupils dilated slightly.

She noticed that the faces and arms of her junior disciples were covered with a blackish-green aura.

Occasionally, black qi would intertwine into strange runes, looking extremely bizarre.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, we don't know what this blackish-green aura is. It seems to be the reason why Senior Zi Xiao and the others can't wake up, and even the Jade Dew Revitalizing Pill's effects are minimal."

The girl explained.

The woman immediately examined Zi Xiao and the others and found that the black qi had not only affected their surface but also infiltrated their dantian, qi sea, and major meridians and acupoints.

This was why the Jade Dew Revitalizing Pill wasn't effective, as they couldn't absorb the medicinal power.

She thought for a moment and said, "Zi Xiao and the others must have been affected by some evil technique Li Motian used to seal them.

It's said that the Demon Race has many evil techniques that draw on the essence and blood of human cultivators to enhance their cultivation.

Since Li Motian had joined the Demon Race and fallen to become a Demon Cultivator, he likely knew such techniques.

He probably didn't kill us outright because he intended to use some evil technique.

Fortunately, he's dead now, and the demonic qi in Zi Xiao and the others' bodies is no longer controlled.

Otherwise, they might not have lasted this long."

"That evil demon was truly vicious. I knew he wasn't that kind-hearted!"

The girl suddenly understood, her face showing indignation.

But soon she was puzzled again: "But why are you unharmed, Senior?"

"Perhaps it's because this Daoist friend saved me." The woman looked at Lu Qing.

She remembered that during their battle in the underground Hermitage Cave, she had also been affected by Li Motian's demonic qi.

Now, there was no trace of anything unusual in her body, and the demonic qi had vanished without a trace.

She didn’t believe for a moment that Li Motian had taken pity on her and removed the demonic qi from her body.

The only explanation was that the mysterious young man who had pulled her back from the brink of death had done it.

"Indeed, while treating your injuries, I also removed the demonic qi from your body."

Lu Qing didn’t deny it and nodded.

He was no stranger to demonic qi.

After all, his Li Fire Cauldron contained the soul consciousness of an ancient demon cultivator, which he had branded with a servitude mark.

The original form of that being was a Primordial Spirit-level demon cultivator, with a profound understanding of the path of demons.

Although Lu Qing did not practice demon cultivation, he had a deep understanding of it.

So, Li Motian’s methods were not particularly challenging for him.

"Indeed, it was your doing, Fellow Daoist." The woman was immediately overjoyed. "Righteous benefactor, could you please help my junior siblings as well? The Qian Kun Sect will surely repay you with a heavy debt of gratitude!"

"I’ll take a look."

Lu Qing didn’t refuse and walked over to check on the Violet-Clothed Youth and the others. After a moment, he nodded.

"I can give it a try."

The woman’s face lit up, and she bowed deeply to Lu Qing. "We place our faith in you, righteous benefactor, to save our junior siblings."

Lu Qing wasted no time and retrieved the Golden Needle Artifact.

Using his mana, he levitated the Violet-Clothed Youth and the others, and began to remove the demonic qi from their bodies.

Golden light shimmered as the golden needles pierced into the major acupoints of the Violet-Clothed Youth and his companions.

Soon, the woman and her companion saw thin strands of dark black qi slowly being expelled from Zi Xiao and the others.

The Golden Needle Artifact was a set of tools that Lu Qing had specially refined.

Despite their small size, the needles were inscribed with various healing arrays.

The needles could also combine to form more powerful formations.

They possessed multiple functions, including detoxification, healing, demon expulsion, calming, and sealing.

The quality of the needles alone was already that of a high-grade magical treasure.

They were truly special magical treasures of the healing arts.

Lu Qing had refined these needles in his homeland, using the abundant resources of the Holy Mountain to collect many precious materials. He had ultimately refined two sets of Golden Needle Artifacts.

One set he had given to his master, and the other he had kept for himself.

However, he had rarely encountered situations where he needed to use these Golden Needle Artifacts.

Even in Mo Hongyun’s case, the golden needles were of no use.

This was the first time he was using these healing treasures in front of others.

With such a powerful healing magical treasure, and with no one controlling the demonic qi in the Violet-Clothed Youth and the others, and with Lu Qing’s deep understanding of demonic qi, he had little trouble expelling the demonic qi from their bodies.

Once the demonic qi was expelled, the pills the woman had given them began to take effect.

The Jade Dew Revitalizing Pill was a unique healing pill of the Qian Kun Sect, renowned among the many Golden Core-level healing pills in the Heavenly Origin World.

Not only did it have remarkable healing effects, but it also helped to strengthen the body and cultivate the essence.

Earlier, the Violet-Clothed Youth’s condition had not improved because the demonic qi had eroded and sealed his meridians and acupoints, preventing him from absorbing the pill’s effects.

Now that the demonic qi was gone, their bodies began to instinctively absorb the pill’s power.

With Lu Qing’s assistance using the golden needles to help them quickly refine the pill’s power, the entire process was visible to the woman and her companion.

The most immediate change was the rapid recovery of the Violet-Clothed Youth’s vital energy.

Finally, when Lu Qing withdrew the golden needles, they saw the Violet-Clothed Youth, the most advanced of the three, slowly open his eyes.

"Junior Brother Zi Xiao!"

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, Xiao Jing, why are you here?"

Hearing two familiar voices, the Violet-Clothed Youth’s confused gaze fell on them, and his body trembled with disbelief.

Especially Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, who he thought had been killed by Li Motian, now appeared completely unharmed.

But he quickly realized the situation.

"Of course, I must be in the Underworld. I didn’t think you managed to escape Li Motian’s clutches, Xiao Jing. But this Underworld doesn’t seem as dark and sinister as the legends say."

"And Senior Sister, has the sect not yet discovered our deaths? Why hasn’t even a single piece of paper money been burned for you? You can’t even afford decent clothes."

He thought he was dead, which was why he saw Senior Apprentice Sister Ye without a single injury.

But the woman’s face darkened at the Violet-Clothed Youth’s words.

"Zi Xiao, stop talking nonsense. You’re not dead, and neither are we!"

"Senior Sister, you’re joking. If you weren’t dead, how could you have no injuries? I saw Li Motian carrying your body out myself."

Seeing Zi Xiao still rambling, the woman finally lost her patience.

She picked up a stone and threw it, striking the Violet-Clothed Youth’s forehead, causing him to yelp in pain.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Ye, don’t hit him again, he just woke up."

The woman couldn’t help but advise.

"Does it hurt?" After shouting in pain, the Violet-Clothed Youth finally realized something was wrong. "Senior Sister, we’re really not dead?"

"Of course not. If you really want to die, I can help you on your way to the Underworld you so desire."

The woman took out a robe from her storage artifact and put it on, her face still dark.

She had been in a fierce battle with Li Motian, and her magical robe had been damaged. When she woke up, she was so concerned about the fate of these fools that she didn’t even pay attention to such details.

She didn’t expect this little fool to start teasing her as soon as he woke up.

"No, no, no need, Senior Sister. Being alive is definitely better!"

The Violet-Clothed Youth finally took a good look around.

This was the valley where they had fought Li Motian.

Feeling his real body and the faint pain in his forehead, he finally understood that he was truly alive.

Senior Apprentice Sister Ye and Xiao Jing were also very much alive.

But this realization brought up many questions.

He had seen Senior Apprentice Sister Ye killed by Li Motian with his own eyes.

He and his two junior siblings had been defeated and left for dead by Li Motian as they tried to buy time for Xiao Jing to escape.

How could it be that not only was Senior Apprentice Sister Ye unharmed, but he himself, though weak, had no injuries at all?

Just as the Violet-Clothed Youth was about to ask these questions, two soft groans sounded beside him.

The other two Qian Kun Sect disciples had finally woken up.
