8: Chapter 8 Elder of Dan Pavilion Comes to the Rescue

The internal divine technique within Lin Yi possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities...

However, the Seven Absolutes Powder was far too tyrannical!

As soon as his spiritual energy touched the poison, it was eroded and corrupted, becoming a part of the toxin itself.

Not only was the poison not forced out, but it accelerated its spread instead!

"It's useless! The Seven Absolutes Powder has no antidote. The more you circulate your spiritual energy, the faster the poison spreads!" Shen Biyao said indifferently, her smile even more charming.

She looked as if she were admiring a flower gradually withering.

Lin Yi ignored her.

He knew that what Shen Biyao said was the truth, but he had no other choice.

If he left it unchecked, the poison would erode his heart even faster.

Only by desperately driving his spiritual energy could he delay the speed at which the poison spread.

Even if he could hold on for just one more breath, it was still hope!

Time passed second by second.

Lin Yi's complexion turned from pale to dark green, his lips turned purple, and black blood began to seep from his seven orifices.

His body trembled incessantly, sweat mixed with blood soaking through his clothes.

Shen Biyao stood to the side, watching, her gaze gradually becoming complex.

She had originally thought that seeing Lin Yi in pain would give her pleasure, but when she truly saw this scene, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart.

Was it because Lin Yi had not begged for mercy from beginning to end?

Or was it because, even under such pain, Lin Yi's eyes remained clear, without a hint of submission?

She did not know.

She only knew that this man was much tougher than she had imagined.

"Didn't Xiao Cheng say this guy was an absolute coward? Why is it different from what I thought? He... can actually endure this kind of pain?" Shen Biyao's face flushed slightly, appearing somewhat angry yet also incredulous.

Before her, Lin Yi, because of his desperate resistance, had his skin flushed, his veins bulging, his chest heaving, and his powerful body trembling, leaving Shen Biyao somewhat dazed.

Just at this moment, Lin Yi's fingers touched something.

It was that Medicine Cauldron!

After playing with it, Shen Biyao had casually placed it beside Lin Yi, only half a foot away from his right hand.

Lin Yi's fingers touched the cold surface of the Medicine Cauldron, and a strange sensation traveled from his fingertips!

That feeling was very strange... it was as if the Medicine Cauldron was responding to him!

Subconsciously, he injected the violent spiritual energy within his body into the Medicine Cauldron, wanting to use it to channel his spiritual energy.

Hum!

The Medicine Cauldron suddenly emitted a low hum!

The cloud patterns on the body of the cauldron lit up one by one, emitting a dazzling golden light!

That light grew increasingly intense, illuminating the entire stone chamber as if it were broad daylight.

"What is going on?" Shen Biyao's expression changed.

She had been refining Seven Absolutes Powder for many years and had never seen such a phenomenon.

The humming sound of the Medicine Cauldron grew louder and louder, and the body of the cauldron began to tremble violently.

The toxin and spiritual energy within Lin Yi's body were all sucked into the cauldron, where the two reacted violently, emitting a piercing screeching sound.

The sound was like metal grinding, and also like the roar of a wild beast, making one's scalp tingle.

"Not good! It's going to explode!"

Shen Biyao finally realized something and turned to flee.

But it was already too late.

Boom!!

With a loud explosion, the entire stone chamber was blown apart!

The shockwave of the explosion carried the fragments of the Medicine Cauldron as it spread in all directions.

Every single fragment carried terrifying spiritual energy; some embedded deeply into the walls, while others pierced directly through the ceiling!

The dense runes on the stone walls shattered in an instant, turning into specks of spiritual light that dissipated into the air.

The Spirit Sealing Formation and the Sound Isolation Formation, the dual Formations, were destroyed simultaneously.

Shen Biyao was sent flying by the shockwave, slamming heavily into the opposite wall, and she spat out a mouthful of blood!

Her protective spiritual energy was almost exhausted in the explosion, and several wounds caused by the fragments appeared on her body.

Lin Yi was also blown away, but strangely, those Medicine Cauldron fragments seemed to deliberately avoid him...

There was not a single wound on his body; only his clothes were blown to tatters, revealing the sturdy body underneath!

Shen Biyao also saw that sturdy body, and her face couldn't help but flush even more deeply. The doubts in her heart grew heavier... and she even inexplicably developed some indescribable feelings for this man before her!

The aftermath of the explosion gradually dispersed, and the stone chamber had collapsed by half.

A large hole had been broken in the ceiling, revealing the sky outside.

Sunlight spilled through the hole, illuminating the devastated stone chamber.

Above the Alchemy Pavilion, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, clearly visible even from a hundred miles away.

The entire Xuantian Sect was stirred!

Countless Disciples looked up toward the direction of the Alchemy Pavilion, discussing it animatedly.

"Isn't that the Alchemy Pavilion? What happened?"

"Such strong spiritual energy fluctuations. Could it be that someone was refining medicine and blew up their furnace?"

"Can a furnace explosion cause such a big commotion? I think it's at least an Earth Rank Magical Artifact exploding!"

A moment later, several figures shot over from different directions.

Leading them was an old man with white hair, wearing the robes of an Alchemy Pavilion Elder, his face stern and dignified.

His speed was astonishingly fast; in the blink of an eye, he appeared above the ruins.

This person was none other than the Alchemy Pavilion Elder... Elder Lu Chen.

Elder Lu Chen held a very high position in the Xuantian Sect; although he did not participate in Sect struggles, his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy were unmatched.

Even the Sect Master had to be three parts respectful when seeing him.

He looked down at the ruins covering the ground, his expression so gloomy that water could drip from it.

"Who dares to cause trouble in the Alchemy Pavilion?!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable pressure, as if the air within a hundred zhang radius had frozen.

Shen Biyao struggled to crawl up from the rubble, covered in dust and dirt, with blood still hanging from the corner of her mouth.

When she saw Elder Lu Chen, her face instantly turned pale, and her body could not stop trembling.

"Alchemy Pavilion... Elder... I..."

She never expected that the dual Formations she had set up would actually be directly destroyed by the power of the Medicine Cauldron's explosion!

One had to know that those two Formations were at the Foundation Establishment level; even a Cultivator at the Peak of the Qi Sea Realm could not easily break them.

But that Medicine Cauldron...

Shen Biyao couldn't help but glance at the fragments of the Medicine Cauldron scattered on the ground, a chill surging in her heart.

That cauldron belonged to Senior Sister Yun Lan.

Senior Sister Yun Lan was a candidate for the Saintess of the Xuantian Sect; how could her belongings be ordinary?

Elder Lu Chen's gaze fell upon Shen Biyao, and his brows furrowed.

"Shen Biyao? What are you doing here again?"

Shen Biyao's lips trembled, and she stammered, unable to speak.

Elder Lu Chen ignored her further and swept his gaze toward the center of the ruins.

Lin Yi was leaning against a piece of rubble, his complexion dark green, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his breathing so weak it could barely be felt.

His hands hung limply by his sides, his fingers still twitching slightly.

"This kid... is poisoned?"

Elder Lu Chen's expression changed; he stepped over to Lin Yi's side in one stride and reached out to place his hand on his pulse.

A moment later, his expression sank completely.

"This is actually Seven Absolutes Powder!"

These three words spoken from his mouth carried a cold killing intent.

Elder Lu Chen suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting toward Shen Biyao like a blade.

Clearly, this Seven Absolutes Powder originated from Shen Biyao before him!

"Shen Biyao, it would be one thing if you privately refined Seven Absolutes Powder, but to actually poison a fellow Disciple with such a rare poison of the world? Simply outrageous!"

Shen Biyao's body trembled, and she instinctively took a step back.

Elder Lu Chen's Realm was said to have already broken through the Peak of Core Formation and entered the Nascent Soul Realm, making him a top-tier existence in the entire Xuantian Sect!

Such a powerful aura meant that Shen Biyao, at the second level of the Qi Sea Realm, could not resist it at all!
