173: Dangers of Dan Shi

Lin Yuan looked at Tang Miaoxing and sighed.

"The Pill Devour you favored, for which you fought your whole life, and then its invincible myth was shattered. It must be hard to accept, right?"

Tang Miaoxing lay on the ground, his Face ashen.

"Haha... To be honest, Immortal Master Lin Yuan, you might as well kill me. Living like this, I'd rather die."

Lin Yuan walked over to Tang Miaoxing and said, "You can't say that."

"As long as you're still alive, you still have a chance to re-condense Pill Devour. Everything is possible when you're alive."

Xu Xin asked with some apprehension, "Lin Yuan, was what you just used Source of Qi?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Yuan.

Zhang Lingyu, Wang Zhenqiu, Wang Ye, and others all looked at Lin Yuan.

Zhang Chulan frowned. Given Martial Uncle Lin Yuan's Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, it was possible that Martial Uncle had learned Source of Qi that night in Biyou Village.

If Martial Uncle Lin Yuan could really neutralize Pill Devour, wouldn't that mean his grandfather could also neutralize it?

Zhang Chulan tried his best to remain calm.

He was afraid of letting others see through him.

He didn't have the guts to take a Pill Devour and then try to neutralize it. He was caught off guard in Biyou Village back then, which was why he was poisoned.

After all, no one wanted to risk their life to try.

Not everyone was as daring as Tang Miaoxing to risk their own life for an experiment.

Now, Zhang Chulan prayed frantically, "Martial Uncle Lin Yuan! You must not admit it!"

If Lin Yuan admitted it, then everyone would speculate where Lin Yuan's Source of Qi came from.

He spent every day with Lin Yuan, so everyone would suspect that he, Zhang Chulan, had taught him.

Then he would essentially be telling everyone, "I am the successor of Source of Qi!"

Everything he had done before, all his efforts, would have been in vain... Lin Yuan nodded and then shook his head.

"Actually, you can feel that the process of neutralizing Pill Devour is very similar to Source of Qi."

"It makes all Qi return to its original state. Pill Devour is also a type of Qi, and Source of Qi can indeed neutralize it."

"Senior Xu Xin knows this best."

In fact, Lin Yuan wasn't afraid of others' suspicions. He already had so many Eight Wonders that having Source of Qi wasn't a big deal anymore.

With his strength, he had long passed the stage of the so-called 'an innocent man is guilty for possessing a treasure'.

Now, others had to guard themselves carefully, fearing that he would snatch their treasures.

Xu Xin remembered that Rootless Life had also used some method to directly detoxify Dong Chang back then.

At that time, Rootless Life had indeed said that he could resolve the Qi part.

But he had no way to deal with the medicinal part.

What Rootless Life used back then must have been Divine Spirit.

Tang Miaoxing climbed up from the ground.

"So, does that mean Zhang Huaiyi had already neutralized Pill Devour back then, right?"

He only cared now whether Source of Qi could neutralize Pill Devour.

Zhang Huaiyi might have truly neutralized Pill Devour back then.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "I wasn't present at that battle back then, so I naturally don't know."

"Whether Zhang Huaiyi could neutralize Pill Devour, I don't know, but I do know that in this world, those who can neutralize Pill Devour, besides Rootless Life's Divine Spirit, the rest is Source of Qi."

Wang Zhenqiu looked at Lin Yuan with complex eyes.

Lin Yuan's Comprehension Ability was frighteningly high; he could learn all those Eight Wonders just from one battle.

Things like the Feng family's Soul Summoning, Divine Mechanism of a Hundred Refinements, Heaven-Reaching Talisman... he had used them all.

Lin Yuan's indirect admission didn't it mean that Zhang Chulan indeed possessed Source of Qi?

Zhang Chulan lowered his head.

Martial Uncle Lin Yuan! You've really gotten me into trouble!

Zhang Chulan didn't dare to show it.

Lu Linglong frowned.

"Wait... Wasn't it said that Zhang Chulan was the successor of Source of Qi?"

"Why does Immortal Master Lin Yuan also possess Source of Qi?"

"Even if Immortal Master Lin Yuan inherited Source of Qi from Zhang Huaiyi, the timing doesn't match!"

"When Zhang Huaiyi died, Immortal Master Lin Yuan wasn't even known."

Lu Lin looked at Lu Linglong and shook his head helplessly.

"There are only two answers to this: one is that Zhang Chulan taught Lin Yuan, and the other is that Zhang Chulan comprehended it himself."

"Given Immortal Master Lin Yuan's Comprehension Ability, it's possible for him to comprehend it on his own."

At this moment, Tang Qiushan immediately came over and helped Tang Miaoxing up.

But when he channeled Qi to help Tang Miaoxing, he discovered something was wrong.

Even though the Pill Devour in Tang Miaoxing's body had been neutralized, during this period, Tang Miaoxing's Meridians had already been destroyed, and his heart Meridian was damaged.

Pill Devour being neutralized didn't mean Tang Miaoxing would live.

"Qiushan, I know my body. After all this torment, I don't have much time left. The damage Pill Devour inflicts on the Meridians is immense and irreversible."

Tang Miaoxing had completely let go at this point; in his final moments, he was still dying because of Pill Devour.

He had come to terms with it. How many Rootless Life, how many Zhang Huaiyi and Lin Yuan were there in this world?

Source of Qi could indeed neutralize Pill Devour, but the prerequisite was that you had to detoxify it immediately. Perhaps Zhang Huaiyi was besieged by masters at the time and couldn't detoxify it immediately, leading to Meridian damage.

It's likely that Zhang Huaiyi was eventually dragged to his death this way.

Xu Xin sighed.

"Alas... Even if Pill Devour was truly neutralized, you're still at the end of your rope."

Tang Tingting simply couldn't accept this outcome.

Pill Devour was neutralized, but the damage caused by Pill Devour could not be undone.

The reason Pill Devour was unsolvable was because it dealt too severe a blow to a person's Meridians.

In such a short time, Sect Leader's Meridians were destroyed. Even if he were saved, he would not be far from death... Lin Yuan looked at the crowd and couldn't help but smile.

"Tang Miaoxing's situation is indeed unsolvable for a normal person, but do I look like a normal person to you?"

"What normal people can do, Tianshi Mansion can do! What normal people can't do, Tianshi Mansion can also do!"

Lin Yuan's words once again caused a huge stir among everyone present.

Zhang Chulan also walked out at this moment.

"That's right! Martial Uncle Lin Yuan! Didn't you help with Chen Duo's Gu poison and Second Strong's body back then?"

"Then you must also have a way to save Tang Clan Head!"

Tang Tingting immediately knelt on the ground.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan, we did speak a bit loudly before, we apologize to you!! Please, you must save our Sect Leader!!"

Lin Yuan didn't give them any Face.

"Apologize to me? Do you have any Face with me?"

"I'm helping Tang Clan Head because of the Tang Clan's battle back then, they didn't disgrace our countrymen! I'm doing it for the sake of those Seniors!"

Zhang Wang also knelt on the ground.

"No matter whose Face you're doing it for, we thank you! You will always be our Tang Clan's benefactor!!"

After speaking, Lin Yuan activated Heaven-Seizing Creation to begin reshaping Tang Miaoxing's Meridians...
