The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1251 - 374:

"Zhou, you are not taking advantage, I, Shen Yunzhou, can testify for you!"Upon hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Shen Yunzhou suddenly raised his voice, "Whatever method you have now, just try it, as long as you can save my sister!"

Zhou Qing nodded, his fingertips just touching Shen Hanyi’s clothes when Shen Yunzhou suddenly turned around.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

Shen Yunzhou stammered, "My sister’s body... well... actually..."

His voice grew smaller, "Our Shen family has an ancestral rule, unmarried women... well... apart from their husbands, not even brothers can... you know?"

Zhou Qing was speechless, why talk about these at this time.

But now was not the time to debate, he cautiously began to peel away the layers of clothing.

As the collar gradually opened, a face of snow-white shoulder was revealed, shimmering under the dim light of the ice cave.

Zhou Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit hot in the face, silently repeating to himself: "Excuse me, excuse me..."

And as his fingertips inadvertently touched the skin, Zhou Qing’s heart and spirit stirred intensely, a familiar sensation surged in his heart.

Back then in the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, when teaching the fourth-level array and inscription level Divine Techniques, he directly touched the brow.

Later, when she encountered confusion in the Hundred Tribulations Blood Curtain, he touched her shoulder during the evolution of five Phoenix Dao Patterns.

Forget it, familiarity breeds comfort, I won’t be pretentious!

More so, we’ve sang love songs under your forbidden zone’s crooked jujube tree countless times.

When the last layer of clothing was removed, that sinister wound was finally completely exposed.

From beneath the collarbone slanting to the heart, the twisted skin showed an eerie bluish-gray color, as if being eroded by some sinister force.

Blood still seeping slowly, fundamentally unable to be alleviated, the foul smell becoming stronger.

Zhou Qing’s brows furrowed tightly.

This toxin is indeed strange, indeed preventing blood from coagulating like tetanus.

After staring for a moment, a flash of insight suddenly struck him.

[Daily Reflection] can’t directly assess a person, but as long as the thoughts remain active, it can assess indirectly.

He quickly took out a piece of jade, gently scraping the freshly seeping blood from the wound.

Then began the assessment.

Soon, a piece of information was feedback:

[Blood: This blood is from a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, containing extremely pure Spiritual Power, but has been eroded by "Heart-Burning Bone-Eroding Flame."]

[This fire poison originates from the depths of the earth, taking the form of yin fire, eroding bones and burning the heart, causing the blood to boil unable to coagulate, and the heart’s fire weakens progressively.]

[If this continues, the body’s meridians will be burned by yin fire, eventually destroying all internal organs, annihilating form and spirit completely.]

Zhou Qing’s pupils suddenly contracted, this fire poison is so domineering!

More frightening is that Shen Hanyi cultivates with an ice cultivation technique, having a body imbued with cold Spiritual Power.

Now forming an ice-fire counteraction against this yin fire poison, accelerating the spread of the toxin.

"Is this specifically targeted for number six’s dark hand?" Zhou Qing’s heart was slightly startled.

"How is it?" Shen Yunzhou asked urgently with his back turned, his voice trembling.

Zhou Qing said solemnly, "It’s the Heart-Burning Bone-Eroding Flame, this poison you..."

"Heart-Burning Bone-Eroding Flame? Are you sure?" Shen Yunzhou’s voice suddenly soared in disbelief upon hearing the name.

Zhou Qing frowned, "You know this toxin?"

Shen Yunzhou’s hands clenched tightly, murderous intention surged in his eyes: "Third Aunt..."

Zhou Qing immediately understood.

It seems to be caused by internal strife in the Shen Family.

He has long known that although Shen Hanyi is a Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm powerhouse, she is cautious within the clan, and now it seems the situation is warranted.

But he couldn’t understand why a family would not take pride in having such a young Spirit Severing Realm and Fourth-level Array Master.

In Taiqing Sect, such a prodigy would be revered like an ancestor.

"How to detoxify?" Zhou Qing asked solemnly.

Shen Yunzhou shook his head, "I only heard my sister mentioned needing yang items to neutralize fire poison, like the ’Earth Core Fire Lotus’, but it could only temporarily ease it."

His voice was bitter, "I’m afraid even my sister doesn’t know the specific antidote."

Zhou Qing pondered, "Do you have Earth Core Fire Lotus on you?"

"It’s rumored the Jiyuan Temple has a Transforming Fire Lotus," Shen Yunzhou chuckled bitterly, "If I had that Divine Medicine, many would covet it, I might not have survived today."

Zhou Qing’s eyes revealed a hint of gravity.

Although recognizing the toxin, [Daily Reflection] can only assess blood and didn’t provide an antidote.

Should I... try again after the skill refreshes at midnight?

"Zhou!" Shen Yunzhou suddenly turned around and knelt down, "Since you can identify this poison, you must have a remedy! Destined persons for my sister are few, you definitely count as one."

His voice choked, "Saving a life is considered a debt of gratitude, and traditionally repaid with lifelong commitment, haven’t you always let Miss Lu probe my intentions?"

"As long as you save her, I will definitely fulfill this matter!"

Zhou Qing hurriedly supported him by the arms: "You misunderstand! I harbor no improper thoughts towards her; I haven’t even seen her face..."

"Swipe—"

Before finishing his words, Shen Yunzhou had already torn off Shen Hanyi’s veil.

At the moment the veil fell, it was as if a cold moon suddenly reflected on an icy plain.

Shen Hanyi’s face carried a breathtakingly cool beauty.

The skin as white as fresh snow, almost transparent under the dark blue ice light, faint blue veins visible beneath.

Two long dark brows like smoke over distant mountains, with small ice crystals forming at the peaks, furrowing slightly in pain.

Her nose was like cold jade, straight and refined, with a hint of sickly pale red at the tip.

The lip color very faint, blending with the skin, except for a trace of dark red blood at the corner of her lips.

Even in unconsciousness, her cool aura was like the moon on a cold lake, demanding reverence.
