787: Full recovery

She moved with light steps, stopping about three paces in front of Yao Delong, and performed an elegant Wanfu Salute with poise and a hint of shyness.

"Benefactor, a few months ago during your Daozi Succession Ceremony, Ruyi was in seclusion to Breakthrough the Nascent Soul Bottleneck and could not attend in person. I deeply regret it and hope you can forgive me." Her voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and pleasant.

Yao Delong looked at the gentle and exceptionally beautiful woman before him, a flash of surprise in his eyes. It hadn't been long since they last met, and she had already grown to be so peerless in grace, even stepping into the Nascent Soul realm! This talent was truly extraordinary.

He smiled slightly, his smile like a spring breeze: "Miss Han is too polite. The title of Daozi is just a hollow name, not worth mentioning." His gaze held a hint of praise, "Having not seen you for a long time, Miss Han has not only improved her cultivation, but her temperament and style are even better than before."

Hearing this, two beautiful red clouds instantly rose on Han Ruyi's fair, jade-like face, like morning glow reflecting on snow, incredibly beautiful. She lowered her head slightly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "Benefactor is joking... compared to your heaven-reaching cultivation and majesty, this little girl is... but a mere firefly's light."

She composed herself and looked up, her clear eyes filled with concern: "Benefactor must be exhausted after the long journey. Ruyi takes the liberty of inviting you to move to a quiet place I have arranged for you to rest for a while?" Her posture was both respectful and considerate.

Yao Delong was about to nod in agreement.

Suddenly, a thought struck him!

He almost forgot the main business!

His purpose in coming to Biqiu City was originally to completely resolve the old injury in Mu Long's left arm!

Yao Delong paused and turned his gaze to Mu Long, who was nearby discussing city defense details in low voices with Han Tianzheng and Liu Tiezhu.

"City Lord Mu." Yao Delong walked over.

Hearing his voice, Mu Long immediately stopped talking and turned to stand respectfully: "What are your orders, Benefactor?"

Yao Delong's gaze fell on his left arm, which, though moving freely, still felt a slight obstruction in the flow of power: "How is your left arm functioning now? Does it still hinder you?"

A flash of gloom passed over Mu Long's face, which then turned into gratitude: "Thank you, Benefactor, for clearing it back then. Now, as long as I don't excessively mobilize the Nascent Soul power, there's no major issue in daily use." He was grateful; if not for Yao Delong, this arm might have been useless long ago.

"Hmm." Yao Delong nodded, his tone calm but carrying an unquestionable power, "It just so happens that by coming here this time, I intend to completely root out this hidden danger for you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Long felt as if he had been struck by lightning, freezing on the spot!

Com... completely root it out?!

This arm of his was a reattached limb! Being able to recover to this point was already a massive miracle! He had long since dared not hope for a complete recovery!

"Benefactor... you... you mean..." Mu Long's voice trembled violently due to extreme shock and wild joy!

"Correct." Yao Delong gave an affirmative answer.

Thump!

Without any hesitation!

Mu Long, a powerhouse at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage who governed a city, knelt heavily on both knees before Yao Delong! His head bowed deeply!

"The grace of rebirth! It is like that of my parents! Mu Long... Mu Long is willing to die for you! To give my all, no matter the cost!" His voice choked, every word like blood! This kindness was too heavy! So heavy he could not bear it!

"It's just a small effort, no need for this." Yao Delong's voice was peaceful as he gently flicked his sleeve.

An irresistible yet incredibly gentle force instantly lifted Mu Long up, preventing him from kneeling any longer.

"Relax your mind, do not resist." Yao Delong instructed.

Hearing this, Mu Long immediately closed his eyes and completely released all the defenses of the Yuan Power in his body, allowing Yao Delong's Divine Thought to enter! This trust was a matter of life and death!

Yao Delong's expression was calm as he shifted his thoughts.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Several stalks of Spirit Medicine, emitting a dense medicinal fragrance and flowing with precious light—clearly ancient and priceless—appeared out of thin air before him. These Spirit Medicines were enough to make many Nascent Soul Cultivators fight to the death!

Next!

Under the terrified gazes of everyone!

Yao Delong slowly raised his right hand, palm up.

"Whoosh—!"

A ball of nine-colored glazed fire, exquisite yet containing a terrifyingly high temperature and an aura of destruction enough to burn mountains and boil seas, appeared out of thin air in his palm without warning!

Divine Fire · Glazed Hearth Fire!

Hiss—!!!

The temperature in the entire hall suddenly soared!

An indescribable aura of destruction, as if it could incinerate everything in the world, spread out!

"Ah!" "What a terrifying flame!" "Wh... what kind of fire is this?!" Exclamations rose one after another!

All the Nascent Soul Cultivators present, including Ji Yanshuang, a master of the fire Dao, all had their faces change drastically and their pupils shrink!

They could clearly feel the terrifying energy fluctuations generated by the perfect Fusion of the nine extreme attribute powers contained within that nine-colored glazed flame! This was definitely no ordinary mortal fire!

Its level was so high and its power so strong that it was simply unheard of and unseen! Even the Natal True Fire that Peak Master Ji was so proud of was like a firefly before the bright moon in front of this Glazed Hearth Fire!

Han Tianzheng was even more shocked, his expression serious to the extreme. With his eyesight, he could not see the origins or limits of this flame at all! He only felt his Soul trembling slightly!

Qiong Shuang was the closest, and her small face was full of amazement. She could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in that flame! It was a power that even her body as a Soul Transformation Great Demon felt wary of!

Yao Delong seemed oblivious, lightly waving his hand.

The Glazed Hearth Fire turned into a brilliant nine-colored ribbon, lightly wrapping around those precious Spirit Medicines!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...!

There was no violent burning as imagined!

That terrifying flame, capable of melting Magic Treasures in an instant, now showed another side of its miraculous creation under Yao Delong's exquisite control!

The Spirit Medicines quickly softened, decomposed, and were purified in the nine-colored fire. The Impurities were instantly incinerated into nothingness, leaving only the most refined and pure nine-colored medicinal liquid, emitting a dense aura of life and majestic spiritual power!

The entire process was as fast as lightning, yet it carried an indescribable sense of beauty and control!

With a flick of his finger!

The ball of nine-colored medicinal liquid turned into a streak of light and entered Mu Long's chest!

Yao Delong pressed his fingers together and pointed into the air, countless profound and complex runes flowing at his fingertips like starlight!

"Condense!"

With his light shout!

The Glazed Hearth Fire wrapping the medicinal liquid, like the most precise carving knife, instantly penetrated every meridian and every acupoint of Mu Long's left arm!

"Ugh!" Mu Long let out a suppressed groan! His forehead was instantly covered in pea-sized beads of sweat! Intense burning pain and numbness surged like a tide!

He could clearly feel that under the guidance of the nine-colored fire, the miraculous medicinal liquid was crazily nourishing, repairing, and strengthening the Meridians of his left arm that had once been broken and were now weak despite being reconnected!

Those Meridians, like withered vines encountering rain after a long drought, greedily absorbed the medicinal power. Under the gentle tempering of the Glazed Hearth Fire, they became tough, wide, and emitted a faint precious light at a speed visible to the naked eye! They were even... tougher and stronger than before the injury!

Of course, this was already the limit of what Mu Long's Nascent Soul cultivation could withstand.
