Chapter 97: Clearing the Poisonous Wound "Eighteen Updates in a Row"

In the same stone chamber as before, Du Shaofu saw the Thunder Demon Lion, who now resembled a withered old man.

In the stone chamber, Ye Guang and Ye Baolin stood respectfully to one side, both with solemn expressions and moist eyes.

"Kid, you're here. You've recovered quite quickly."

Seeing Du Shaofu arrive, the Thunder Demon Lion, who was lying down, lifted his head. The light in his eyes had lost its former brilliance, a stark contrast to the awe-inspiring and domineering presence he had when he killed Qin Xiping.

"Senior, I'm here."

Looking at the withered Thunder Demon Lion, Du Shaofu felt a pang of sorrow.

"I'm dying. My lamp is running out of oil, and I can't hold on any longer." The Thunder Demon Lion said, looking at Du Shaofu.

"Senior, I..."

Du Shaofu had just started to speak when the Thunder Demon Lion interrupted him, saying, "I've made my decision. After I die, my secret bone will be shared by you and the Ye family for study, and my essence blood will also be given to you and the Ye family. I hope you will both protect Stone City in the future."

"Ancestor Lei!"

Ye Guang and Ye Baolin trembled, not caring that Du Shaofu was present, and immediately knelt before the Thunder Demon Lion.

"Ancestor Lei has protected the Ye family and Stone City for so many years. How can we accept your secret bone and essence blood? If we can't even preserve your body after you pass, how can the Ye family face the world? This is absolutely unacceptable!" Ye Baolin raised his head and said, looking at the Thunder Demon Lion.

"I'm already dead. What does a corpse matter?"

The Thunder Demon Lion looked at Ye Baolin and said, "Your ancestor saved my life. Because of me, he died prematurely. Otherwise, with his talent, he would have achieved great things in this world. I promised to protect the Ye family and Stone City for my entire life. After I die, I hope my secret bone and essence blood can help the Ye family cultivate a strong person, to make up for my regret."

"Ancestor Lei, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Ye Baolin's eyes were moist, and he could no longer hold back his tears.

Ye Zijin also knelt beside her father, looking at the Thunder Demon Lion with tearful eyes, evoking sympathy.

"Compared to most humans, demons are many times stronger. This Thunder Demon Lion shouldn't be reaching his end." A mosquito-like voice whispered into Du Shaofu's ear, which he recognized as Zhen Qingchun's voice from the small tower in his arms.

At that moment, Du Shaofu's eyes also moistened. The Thunder Demon Lion had been repaying a debt for hundreds of years. Now, as his end was near, he was even willing to leave his secret bone and essence blood to repay the debt.

"I've made my decision. There's no need to say more. Get up." The Thunder Demon Lion gestured for Ye Baolin to stop, then looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Kid, I know you're not an ordinary person. You will soar through the skies and spread your wings. I owe a debt to the Ye family's ancestor, so I vowed to protect the Ye family and Stone City for my entire life. You, too, have received a favor from me. Today, I will give you my secret bone and essence blood, and I hope you will promise to continue this vow in my place, will you?"

Du Shaofu looked at the Thunder Demon Lion and, after a moment, said, "Senior, do you have a poisonous wound from a Flame Poisonous Dragon?"

As Du Shaofu spoke, Ye Guang, Ye Baolin, and Ye Zijin all looked at him with surprise. Only the three of them knew about Ancestor Lei's poisonous wound. How did Du Shaofu know?

"That's right, it's a poison from a Flame Poisonous Dragon. It has been in my body for hundreds of years and is incurable." The Thunder Demon Lion replied, his eyes showing some emotion.

Looking at the Thunder Demon Lion, Du Shaofu was silent for a moment, then said, "Senior, I might be able to cure the poison from the Flame Poisonous Dragon."

"What? You can cure the poison from the Flame Poisonous Dragon?"

"Is that true? If it is, the Ye family is willing to pay any price."

Ye Guang and Ye Baolin stood up, their eyes filled with hope but also doubt. For so many years, every generation of the Ye family had tried to find a solution, even secretly inviting powerful spirit masters, but to no avail.

"Shaofu, can you really cure Ancestor Lei's poison?" Ye Zijin stood up, subconsciously gripping Du Shaofu's arm, her eyes full of hope.

Du Shaofu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can't guarantee it, but I have an 80% chance."

"Please treat Ancestor Lei. If you can cure him, the Ye family is willing to pay any price." Ye Guang and Ye Baolin looked at Du Shaofu with pleading eyes.

"Please treat Ancestor Lei's poison. I beg you." Ye Zijin also shook Du Shaofu's arm, pleading.

"Miss Ye, you need to let go so I can treat Senior Thunder Demon Lion's wound." Du Shaofu smiled at Ye Zijin.

"I..."

Ye Zijin realized her behavior and let go of his arm. She had never been so close to a man before, except for her father. Her cheeks turned red, but her thoughts quickly returned to Ancestor Lei's poison, and she looked at Du Shaofu with pleading eyes.

"I will do my best." Du Shaofu said to Ye Zijin and the others, then looked at the Thunder Demon Lion and said, "Senior, let me try."

"Alright, let you try. I want to see what you can do."

The Thunder Demon Lion nodded, his eyes calm. Over the past few hundred years, countless methods had failed. For him, this was just one last attempt before his end, to avoid dying alone and quietly.

"When will you start, and what do you need? I'll prepare it immediately." Ye Baolin asked Du Shaofu, his eyes filled with nervous anticipation.

"Let's start now. I don't need anything special, just a large bowl. Also, no one should disturb us while I treat Senior Thunder Demon Lion's poison. Please tell my uncle that I will be here for a few days." Du Shaofu said.

Ye Guang nodded eagerly and said, "Absolutely no problem. I will guard the door myself. No one will come in unless I die."

A moment later, only Du Shaofu and the Thunder Demon Lion remained in the stone chamber.

"Kid, let's start. I'll accompany you in this attempt."

The Thunder Demon Lion looked at Du Shaofu, his old body still exuding a powerful aura despite its frailty.

"Let's start. I'll guide you step by step. This is extremely difficult for others, but since you cultivate the Golden-winged Great Peng's technique and your blood is similar to the Golden-winged Great Peng's, it won't be too difficult for you, just a bit more tiring." Zhen Qingchun's mosquito-like voice whispered into Du Shaofu's ear.

Du Shaofu began, feeling more relaxed knowing Zhen Qingchun would guide him step by step.

"Rip..."

In the Thunder Demon Lion's surprised gaze, Du Shaofu took out a dagger from his bag and cut his wrist, allowing a stream of pale golden blood to drip into a large bowl he had prepared.

"Boom!"

As the pale golden blood dripped from Du Shaofu's wrist, the stone chamber trembled. Mysterious runes emerged from the blood, radiating a terrifying aura.

This aura seemed to draw energy from the heavens and earth toward the golden blood.

The stone chamber was bathed in pale golden light, like a rising sun, with a surging aura.

"This is...!"

The Thunder Demon Lion's calm eyes suddenly showed intense emotion, and his trembling body stood up.

The aura emanating from the golden blood made his heart tremble, a natural suppression that even he had to respect.

"Senior, after you drink this blood, I will use my mystic energy to help you clear the poison from your body."

Du Shaofu stopped the blood flow by pressing his fingers on his wrist and handed the bowl of pale golden blood to the Thunder Demon Lion.

The pale golden blood shone with golden light, energy surging, and runes emerging, as if a shadow of a Golden-winged Great Peng was about to rise from the bowl.

Feeling the energy in the golden blood, the Thunder Demon Lion looked at Du Shaofu with trembling eyes. He could sense why Du Shaofu said he could cure his wound.

His eyes filled with excitement. After hundreds of years, he felt hope again, just as his life was about to end.

"This is the aura of the Golden-winged Great Peng clan. Kid, I won't be polite."

The Thunder Demon Lion nodded at Du Shaofu, said nothing more, and sucked the pale golden blood from the bowl into his mouth, swallowing it all.

"Boom!"

As the Thunder Demon Lion swallowed the pale golden blood, his body trembled violently, and lightning began to flash around him. The dullness in his eyes gradually gave way to lightning sparks.

At this moment, a terrifying energy began to emanate from the Thunder Demon Lion's body.

Under this terrifying energy, the lightning around him grew more intense, and a black fire mist seemed to be trying to break through his skin.

"Roar!"

The Thunder Demon Lion let out a low roar, as if enduring great pain.

Seeing the black fire mist spreading from the Thunder Demon Lion's body, Du Shaofu's expression grew serious. He suspected this black fire was related to the poison from the Flame Poisonous Dragon.

"Senior, hold on, I'll help you!"

With a low shout, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged in front of the Thunder Demon Lion, his hands forming seals. A pale golden mystic energy surged from his body and entered the Thunder Demon Lion's body.
