Chapter 517: Return to Yuanfu, Qinglin Poisoned
"A Dou Saint's right arm?"
Xiao Yan was taken aback when he saw Mo Yu hand over the jade-like arm bone. His face quickly showed a hint of surprise.
"Brother Mo Yu, this…" Xiao Yan had seen firsthand the power of the Dou Saint skeleton. Even though this was just a single arm, it was still extremely valuable. He immediately waved his hands, refusing, "This is too precious. There's no need for you to be so generous, Brother Mo Yu. If anything, that eighth-tier treasure pill doesn't even compare to what you did to save my teacher. In fact, I still owe you a great deal."
Mo Yu smiled lightly at this, then placed the Dou Saint's right arm into Xiao Yan's hands, saying, "There's no need for us to be so formal. If I'm not mistaken, you've already obtained the Soul Infant Fruit, and your teacher will soon be ready to create a new body for his resurrection, correct? If it weren't for the overwhelming energy in this Dou Saint's body, which might be too much for him to handle, I would have offered the entire skeleton to serve as his new body. For now, consider this Dou Saint's right arm as my gift to your teacher for his rebirth. Please, don't decline."
Xiao Yan hesitated upon hearing this. Indeed, as Mo Yu said, once he returned, he would begin the process of crafting a new body for Yao Lao to free him from his soul form and bring him back to life. The Dou Saint's right arm could be of immense value in that endeavor. While it might not immediately push Yao Lao to the level of a Dou Saint, it would definitely bring him very close.
After considering this, Xiao Yan looked at Mo Yu, feeling somewhat awkward, and then nodded, clasping his hands in thanks. "If that's the case, thank you, Brother Mo Yu."
Seeing Xiao Yan accept the gift, Mo Yu smiled and nodded in return. With the addition of this Dou Saint's right arm, it was almost certain that the revived Yao Lao would reach the Half-Saint level. With a Half-Saint in Starfall Pavilion, their alliance would become even more formidable and unbreakable.
"Oh, and take these three ribs as well."
Going the extra mile, Mo Yu decided to help further. Summoning his terrifying lightning powers to his palm, he grabbed three ribs from the Dou Saint's abdomen, which were covered with mysterious markings, and snapped them off with a powerful twist.
Crack!
Though the Dou Saint's bones were incredibly tough, Mo Yu's mastery over his Thunder energy allowed him to break them after a brief struggle.
The ribs felt cool to the touch, as smooth as the finest jade. Mo Yu glanced at them and noticed that they were covered with strange symbols that shimmered faintly, as if alive, moving slowly across the surface.
These markings, as Mo Yu knew, contained the ancient Heavenly technique, "Great Heaven Creation Palm."
Mo Yu handed the ribs to Xiao Yan. "These ribs contain the Dou Saint's Heavenly technique. They're the real treasure. Take good care of them, Brother Xiao Yan."
"This is far too valuable. I can't accept it," Xiao Yan said, his expression turning serious as he shook his head. The Dou Saint's right arm was already a precious gift, but this Heavenly technique—something so rare that only a handful of forces across the entire continent possessed—was beyond what Xiao Yan felt comfortable accepting.
Even though Mo Yu and Xiao Yan had grown up together and had a deep bond, this Heavenly technique felt like a debt too large to repay.
"Haha, don't get caught up in such formalities, Brother Xiao Yan. We grew up together, our bond stronger than gold. Beyond that, with the threat of the Soul Hall looming over us, we must stand side by side and support each other. This Heavenly technique doesn't hold much value for me, but for you, it could be extremely useful. If you refuse, you'll be insulting me." Mo Yu laughed, patting Xiao Yan on the shoulder.
Xiao Yan's face flickered with different emotions before he finally sighed and accepted the three ribs. "Alright, then. Thank you, Brother Mo Yu."
Indeed, as Mo Yu had said, between brothers like them, there was no need for formality. However, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel deeply moved by Mo Yu's generosity.
"Alright, with the Dou Saint relic exploration over, it's time for us to leave. You'll just need to head east to get out of the Beast Region." As Mo Yu finished speaking, the space around him began to ripple, and a spatial tear quietly appeared.
Now that he had reached the Three-Star Dou Zun level and mastered the Void Thunder Lightning, Mo Yu's control over space was no less than that of Hei Qing, the Eight-Star Dou Zun of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. This meant that their return journey wouldn't require much effort.
"Let's go."
Mo Yu gestured to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, and both women followed him into the spatial rift.
Just before stepping through the tear, Mo Yu turned back to look at Xiao Yan, smiling lightly. "I hope the next time I hear news from Starfall Pavilion, Teacher Yao Lao will have been resurrected."
Shhh!
As soon as Mo Yu finished speaking, the spatial tear closed behind him with a soft sound.
Xiao Yan stood there, gripping the Dou Saint's right arm and the three ribs tightly in his hands, his eyes filled with determination. "I will definitely bring Teacher back to life. And…"
He looked towards the place where Mo Yu had vanished, whispering to himself, "Thank you, Brother Mo Yu…"
Back at Yuanfu in the Western Region, things were relatively peaceful. Xiao Yan and his group took a few days to rest after completing their mission. Mu Qingluan and the others had returned to Starfall Pavilion in a hurry, and upon hearing that the task was successfully completed, they all breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
After a few days of rest, with everyone fully recovered, Xiao Yan found himself facing a new challenge—Qinglin's poisoning.
Qinglin had been affected by the "Emperor Python Heart-Eroding Poison," a highly notorious and deadly toxin in the Central Plains. It was said that there was no cure. However, Xiao Yan always believed that there was no such thing as an incurable poison, only a poison that hadn't yet been cured. He immersed himself in the medicinal texts left by Yao Lao, and even borrowed the "Seven-Colored Poison Codex" that Xiao Yixian had obtained long ago to search for a solution.
Though it was a difficult process, after about four or five days of searching, Xiao Yan finally discovered a way to cure the poison.
Back at Yuanfu, Xiao Yan and Qinglin sat across from each other, while Xiao Yixian stood beside them.
Mo Yu placed his hand on Qinglin's arm, his mind focusing as a thread of soul power entered her body. After a thorough inspection, he found traces of poison in her bloodstream. The poison was icy cold and invasive, as though it sought to freeze her very blood—a particularly insidious and dangerous toxin.
"You've been poisoned, Qinglin. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Mo Yu asked, looking at the obedient girl in front of him with a sigh.
"This is the Emperor Python Heart-Eroding Poison. I was accidentally poisoned by a strong expert from the Nine Nether Earth Python Tribe when we were in the Beast Region. Although I've already controlled that expert, this poison is one of the deadliest known, said to be incurable. I didn't want to burden you during the Dou Saint relic exploration, so I kept quiet," Qinglin said, her voice full of grievance.
"There's no such thing as an incurable poison," Mo Yu smiled gently, patting her on the head. "Your body's Poison Lightning can resist most of the poison, but it's not enough to completely eliminate it. We'll need some additional ingredients."
Xiao Yixian, the poison expert, spoke up as well. "Indeed, the Poison Lightning in your body helps, but we'll need something more to neutralize the remaining toxins."
Mo Yu nodded thoughtfully. "The blood of an Eight-Tier Beast can counteract poisons. That, combined with the Poison Lightning, should be enough."
"Then we should do it now," Mo Yu said, his decision made.
"Thank you, Master," Qinglin said, her face flushed as she nodded shyly.
