TEMBMBIWB Chapter 35
by VolareThe White Deer Immortal glared at him, the resentment that had just dissipated surged back.
That one look was enough to make the Moonlight Immortal’s back go cold, almost causing him to kneel down directly.
After finally helping the White Deer Immortal to the table, Yue Shanglan’s expression still hadn’t softened.
Tan Zhui ate a little something, and his mood improved. Seeing his close friend beside him looking worried, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you wearing such a long face? Did something happen with Hua Zhi?”
Yue Shanglan coldly replied, “What could possibly happen to that petty person?”
Tan Zhui: “?”
Yue Shanglan quickly came back to his senses, realizing he had almost let something slip.
This matter absolutely could not be known by the White Deer Immortal, otherwise, the Nine Heavens would collapse.
Yue Shanglan softened his expression, “What could happen to him? He’s already taken the medicinal catalyst to the South Sea to save his mother.”
Tan Zhui nodded, “That’s good then.”
“It can also be considered that I owe him a favor.”
Yue Shanglan thought in his heart, that despicable little man!
Tan Zhui finished eating and leaned back in his chair, unable to resist sniffing.
He seemed to smell a familiar scent, although faint, it was very familiar.
Yue Shanglan noticed his expression and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Tan Zhui frowned, “Hibiscus fragrance.”
Yue Shanglan’s heart trembled, and he quickly said, “Little Chunsheng secretly returned last night.”
Tan Zhui looked shocked and stared at him.
Yue Shanglan quickly said, “A’Zhui, don’t worry, Little Chunsheng didn’t see Hua Zhi… I also cleaned up in advance, look, there’s no trace here.”
Tan Zhui visibly breathed a sigh of relief, “Where is Hibiscus?”
Yue Shanglan said, “He went back first, his Xiu Luo Demon Soul flared up, and the situation isn’t very good…”
The White Deer Immortal’s eyes immediately widened, surprised, “What?”
“Wasn’t it stable before? How could it suddenly happen like this?”
As he spoke, Tan Zhui was about to rush to the Heavenly Medicine Sect regardless of everything to check.
Yue Shanglan quickly stopped him, grabbing the White Deer Immortal, and said anxiously, “A’Zhui, A’Zhui, calm down, you can’t go now!”
Tan Zhui’s face darkened, puzzled, “Why?”
Yue Shanglan sighed and told him Elder Zhou You’s conclusion from before.
Firstly, this matter would have to be revealed sooner or later; secondly, revealing this matter could prevent Tan Zhui from meeting and interacting with Little Chunsheng for the time being. The less contact there was, the less likely the eye exchange would be exposed.
The White Deer Immortal’s expression became increasingly ugly, his heart was tangled with bitterness and guilt.
During the battle with the Xiu Luo Clan leader back then, it was true that some power was left in his body.
He had been aware of it all along. But for so long, although that thing couldn’t be pulled out, it didn’t intend to harm him either. He had been regularly checking and hadn’t let down his guard.
He also knew that it was that thing that was causing his old injury to be unhealed all this time.
So, he had just regarded that essence as the last retaliation of the Xiu Luo Clan leader.
He hadn’t expected that it would actually affect Hibiscus.
Indeed, Hibiscus had been inflicted with the Xiu Luo Demon Soul, it was indeed because of him.
Tan Zhui couldn’t help but recall the scene of their lips meeting when he last went to the Heavenly Medicine Sect.
That probably also stimulated the Xiu Luo Demon Soul within Hibiscus.
Yue Shanglan: “A’Zhui, when you feel better, I’ll have Zhou You come and examine the thing in your body.”
Tan Zhui slumped back, somewhat exhausted, and sighed, “Alright, before things are resolved, I don’t have to see Hibiscus.”
After seeing Yue Shanglan off, Tan Zhui’s mood became even more complicated.
He was internally weighing the relationship between the two of them.
He couldn’t help but think of the various things between them. After their trip to the mortal world, a monk had once said something to him.
Those ridiculous words that he hadn’t paid any attention to had actually come true.
The two of them would only torment each other, resulting in a lose-lose situation.
In the end, it would only end in a fight to the death, truly a karmic entanglement, an unsuitable match.
The White Deer Immortal’s heart sank a little.
He absolutely would not allow the two of them to reach that point.
Even if it meant a fight to the death, he would not let Hibiscus come to harm.
After thinking about those words, Tan Zhui often pondered over them.
Perhaps it was because of him that Hibiscus, at only five hundred years old, had already experienced many tribulations, always encountering disasters. On the other hand, he himself had more room to maneuver. Now his eyes had recovered, and his old injury had also been removed.
The current situations of the two of them were vastly different.
The White Deer Immortal finally made a decision to completely distance himself from the two of them until everything calmed down.
…
By the time Elder Zhou You of the Heavenly Medicine Sect came to visit, Tan Zhui had recovered quite a bit. Although he still had a lot of aches and pains, he no longer needed to be helped as he did on the first day.
Tan Zhui asked, “How is Hibiscus doing now?”
Zhang Yu, who was by his side, replied, “The Little Immortal is still unconscious, but the Xiu Luo Demon Soul within him has been soothed. He should wake up in two more days. As long as there are no mishaps, there won’t be any problems.”
Tan Zhui murmured, “That’s good then.”
Elder Zhou You first bowed, “Divine Lord, this old one will take your pulse and check your body.”
Tan Zhui nodded slightly.
Only then did Zhou You step forward and check the Divine Lord’s body.
Upon checking, Elder Zhou You’s face showed some awkwardness, because to investigate the thing within the Divine Lord’s body, the Bright Vision Technique was used, which thoroughly examined the Divine Lord from head to toe.
Naturally, he also saw the marks on his body.
Probably some teeth marks, red marks.
Anyone with eyes could tell what they were.
To be honest, Zhou You was a little embarrassed.
But doctors don’t dwell on these things. After a moment of embarrassment, he continued to focus on his examination.
He first checked the Divine Lord’s physical body’s meridians and bones, then proceeded layer by layer to check the deeper Divine Soul and Immortal Essence.
After a long time, Elder Zhou You said, “Indeed, there is the essence left by the Xiu Luo Clan leader within the Divine Lord’s body.”
“Although there isn’t much demonic energy, it is somewhat pure. It seems the Divine Lord has already cleansed it.”
Tan Zhui remained noncommittal.
“It is also indeed this thing that makes the Xiu Luo Demon Soul within the Little Immortal restless.” Zhou You nodded and continued, “But the Divine Lord should know that this essence can’t be removed.”
“This essence has been nourished in the Divine Lord’s body for many years, and it has already fused with the Divine Lord’s Immortal Essence, becoming part of the Divine Lord. There isn’t a trace of turbidity, it is entirely the Divine Lord’s divine energy aura.”
“Although it’s completely impossible to tell it’s the power of the Xiu Luo Clan leader, it resonates with the demonic energy within the Little Immortal’s body, even causing the Xiu Luo Demon Soul to want to break out, indicating that they come from the same source.”
Zhou You: “Although this thing will not harm the Divine Lord, it will harm the Little Immortal.”
The White Deer Immortal thought for a moment, “Elder Zhou You, you can speak directly, you must know some methods.”
Only then did Zhou You get straight to the point, “Right now, either the Divine Lord’s Immortal Essence is pulled out, but the Divine Lord would also perish, or the Demon Soul within the Little Immortal is extracted, but the Little Immortal would die because of it.”
“But, right now, this old one has a compromise method, but it’s just a delaying tactic.”
Tan Zhui: “Please tell me.”
“This method is the worst possible.” Zhou You said, sighing, “Does the Divine Lord know that the Heavenly Medicine Sect has a treasure?”
Tan Zhui nodded. The Heavenly Medicine Sect indeed had a treasure, the demon pill of the ancient demon beast Zhan Huan, called the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill.
Zhou You continued, “This Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill can suppress the essence within the Divine Lord, making it dormant, to the point that it turns into a tiny bit of power, so you won’t even be able to detect its slightest power, and it won’t continue to affect the Xiu Luo Demon Soul within the Little Immortal.”
Then, Zhou You changed the subject, “But, this will also cause your own Immortal Essence to be suppressed, your divine power will be suppressed together, and even every month at the beginning, you will feel ice-cold, piercing, and extremely painful, you might as well be experiencing a living hell.”
“But, you can continue to stay by the Little Immortal’s side and no longer affect him.”
Tan Zhui thought, “Can I have normal contact?”
Zhou You’s expression changed, as if he wanted to say something but held back.
The White Deer Immortal raised an eyebrow, “Things have come to this, Elder, you can just speak freely.”
Zhou You let out a long sigh, “Unless the two of you…”
Tan Zhui saw him stop halfway, and asked in confusion, “Hm?”
Zhang Yu, who was beside him, couldn’t bear to watch and, after a long silence, uttered her first words, which were enough to shock the heavens and earth.
Zhang Yu said expressionlessly, “Unless you have a water and/or fire union, where your divine souls become one.”
Zhou You chuckled awkwardly, as expected of his own disciple.
Tan Zhui was also clearly startled by the words.
The White Deer Immortal calmed down for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Right now, this is the best method, it’s acceptable.”
Actually, Zhou You felt a little heartache, because this Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill had been with the Heavenly Medicine Sect since its founding. But the White Deer Immortal was already willing to go to this extent, what was he being stingy for…
Zhang Yu, who was beside him, saw his thoughts and directly said, “Divine Lord, this is our sect’s treasure, a heritage of ten thousand years…”
Tan Zhui blinked, not expecting this junior to be so straightforward.
He smiled slightly and quickly said, “This item is the Heavenly Medicine Sect’s treasure, I can’t take it for nothing.”
Elder Zhou You was still trying to refuse, but the White Deer Immortal hurriedly said, “I will give the Heavenly Medicine Sect an ancient phoenix feather from my treasure vault.”
Zhou You’s eyes widened immediately, overflowing with joy.
“That’s the only one in the world, the life-saving item of an ancient phoenix at the time of its rebirth!”
The White Deer Immortal nodded, “This thing can not only save your life, but also summon a mountain protection formation at a critical moment, helping the Heavenly Medicine Sect to withstand a tribulation.”
Zhou You almost cried with joy, he had really picked up a big bargain!
Tan Zhui continued, “However, I hope the elder and your disciple can keep my swallowing the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill a secret.”
Elder Zhou You immediately said, “Of course! If this matter were to spread, both the demon and demon path races would become restless, and the three realms would inevitably be in conflict again!”
After speaking, Elder Zhou You glanced at Zhang Yu beside him, and together they took an oath, “We will absolutely not speak of this matter, otherwise, may we be struck by lightning, and may our entire sect be destroyed.”
The White Deer Immortal was startled by the two people’s vicious oaths.
Although Elder Zhou You was a little stingy, his essence was still for the common people, and he didn’t want to cause trouble. He was a trustworthy person, at least his mouth was tight.
He had only been testing the waters just now.
Elder Zhou You took out a box and handed it to the White Deer Immortal.
Tan Zhui was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what it was.
He didn’t expect Zhou You to carry the sect’s treasure with him all the time, it really was a treasure.
Zhou You said softly, “Divine Lord, please.”
Tan Zhui nodded and took out the demon pill from the box.
The demon pill was ice-cold, emitting cold air in all directions.
At the center of the demon pill was a blooming white lotus flower, emitting a faint, pure light.
Zhou You: “Divine Lord, you should think about it carefully…”
But without a moment’s hesitation, the White Deer Immortal swallowed the Hundred Turns Thousand Return Pill.
