Chapter 70: Blood Fiend Cyan Tranquility Poison

Chu Jianqiu had just placed Cui Yayun on the bed when Zuoqiu Lianzhu rushed in like a gust of wind. Seeing this scene, she was instantly startled and hurriedly rushed over, pushing Chu Jianqiu aside and exclaimed, "What's wrong with Master?"

She had been worried when she saw the sword qi crisscrossing on the mountaintop from the hall halfway up the mountain. In such a state, how could her master teach Chu Jianqiu sword techniques without aggravating her injuries?

Although her master had forbidden her from going to the hall on the mountaintop, she couldn't help but worry and eventually ran up. She indeed saw the scene she had feared.

"Master's injuries flared up, and she fainted," Chu Jianqiu replied from the side. He only mentioned that Cui Yayun's injuries had flared up, but he concealed the fact that her severe poison had also acted up. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain how the poison in Cui Yayun's body was suppressed again.

"You really are something! With Master in such a state, you still wanted her to teach you sword techniques!" Zuoqiu Lianzhu glared fiercely at Chu Jianqiu.

Chu Jianqiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he have stopped Cui Yayun from teaching him sword techniques? He had already refused, but Cui Yayun insisted. What could he do? He couldn't fight her now, so how could he stop her?

However, Cui Yayun's condition did worsen because of him, so Chu Jianqiu didn't argue.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu also knew that this wasn't Chu Jianqiu's fault. Once Cui Yayun decided to do something, no one could stop her. But with her anger having nowhere to vent, she could only take it out on Chu Jianqiu.

"You stay here and watch over Master. I'll go get my father!"

Zuoqiu Lianzhu instructed Chu Jianqiu, then her figure blurred and she disappeared.

After a moment, Zuoqiu Lianzhu reappeared in the hall, followed by a middle-aged scholar and a graceful, beautiful woman.

Chu Jianqiu had never seen these two people before, so he didn't know that the middle-aged scholar was the Xuanjian Sect's Sect Master, Zuoqiu Wen, and the graceful woman was the Seventh Peak's Peak Master, Qin Miaoyan.

It wasn't until Zuoqiu Lianzhu introduced them that Chu Jianqiu realized that the Xuanjian Sect's Sect Master and the Seventh Peak's Peak Master had arrived. He hurriedly bowed in respect.

He was genuinely surprised to learn that Zuoqiu Lianzhu was the daughter of the Xuanjian Sect's Sect Master.

Zuoqiu Wen waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities.

"Seventh Sister, how is it?" After Qin Miaoyan diagnosed Cui Yayun's condition, Zuoqiu Wen asked with a serious expression. Although he knew a bit about medicine, his expertise was far inferior to Qin Miaoyan's.

Qin Miaoyan was a Fourth Rank Physician and a Fourth Rank Alchemist, unmatched in the Xuanjian Sect in both medicine and alchemy.

After her diagnosis, Qin Miaoyan's face showed a puzzled expression, and she frowned slightly. "Logically, Fourth Sister's forced use of the Qingliu Zhaokong Sword Technique should have aggravated her injuries and caused the poison to flare up. But now, it seems that apart from expending some true qi, Fourth Sister has no other abnormalities. Her innate essence even seems more vigorous than before. This is truly strange!"

Zuoqiu Wen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that Cui Yayun's condition hadn't worsened further.

"However, without the antidote, Fourth Sister can't last more than three months!" Qin Miaoyan sighed. "The new Blood Fiend Poison developed by the Blood Fiend Sect is truly formidable. Unless we can refine the Primordial Yang Fiend-Dispelling Pill, we can only temporarily seal the mountain in the face of the Blood Fiend Sect's actions."

Zuoqiu Lianzhu was instantly shocked. "Seventh Uncle, what do you mean by Master not lasting more than three months?"

Qin Miaoyan glanced at her and sighed, though she didn't say it outright, her expression said it all.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu's face turned pale. Her master had only said that without the antidote, her cultivation would decline, to comfort her. The truth was much more serious. If her master couldn't resolve the Blood Fiend Cyan Tranquility Poison, she would die.

"Father, I want to enter the Xinze Secret Realm this time." Zuoqiu Lianzhu looked at Zuoqiu Wen with a determined gaze.

"Nonsense! You, a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist, how can you pass through that secret realm passage?" Zuoqiu Wen's face darkened.

"I can suppress my realm to pass through!" Zuoqiu Lianzhu insisted.

"Suppressing your realm is easier said than done. Do you think it's as simple as suppressing your realm to compete with others? The secret realm passage can only withstand the aura of martial artists below the Sea Transformation Realm. If even a trace of True Qi Realm aura passes through, the passage will immediately collapse."

"To pass through that passage, it's not just a matter of suppressing your realm. You would have to completely seal your Sea Transformation Realm aura, which is equivalent to directly demoting your realm, making you drop to the True Qi Realm. At that level, what use would you be?"

"Moreover, the side effects of sealing your realm are severe. A slight mistake could leave you stuck at the True Qi Realm for life. Don't even think about it." Zuoqiu Wen sternly rebuked her.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu had never seen her father so stern before. She felt wronged, her eyes turning red with tears welling up.

"Are we just going to stand by and do nothing for Master?"

"This time, the Blood Fiend Sect will surely send a large number of disciples into the Xinze Secret Realm to obtain the Blood Fiend Dark Demon Liquid. If they get a large amount of it, it will be a great calamity for the entire Daqian Dynasty, and our Xuanjian Sect will not survive."

"Therefore, all the True Qi Realm inner disciples of the Xuanjian Sect must enter the Xinze Secret Realm to stop the Blood Fiend Sect's actions. I will issue a mission for everyone to enter the Xinze Secret Realm and gather the Tianji Dark Dragon Grass. This is not just your responsibility."

Zuoqiu Wen said expressionlessly.

Qin Miaoyan looked at Zuoqiu Wen and felt a chill. This time, with all the True Qi Realm inner disciples entering the Xinze Secret Realm, it was uncertain how many would return.

The Blood Fiend Sect was so powerful that even the entire Daqian Dynasty could barely match it. Now, with the Blood Fiend Sect's relentless advance, other sects were trying to preserve themselves and avoid direct conflict, leaving the Xuanjian Sect to struggle alone.

The Xinze Secret Realm was already extremely dangerous, and now they had to face the formidable Blood Fiend Sect. This time, the inner disciples entering the Xinze Secret Realm would face almost certain death.

The Sect Master was willing to sacrifice this generation of inner disciples to stop the Blood Fiend Sect's actions. Even if they succeeded in disrupting the Blood Fiend Sect's plans, the Xuanjian Sect would suffer a severe blow, taking at least a hundred years to recover.

But if they failed to stop the Blood Fiend Sect, the Xuanjian Sect would be destroyed.

Although Zuoqiu Wen's actions seemed cold, Qin Miaoyan understood his helplessness.
