Chapter 527 Xuanqing, this is a Gathering Yuan Pill, which I specially stole for you!
Xuan Qing felt a surge of anger rush to the top of his head!
This anger mixed with the surging spiritual energy within him, almost causing him to lose control!
"what!!"
He suddenly shouted!
Golden light exploded around him as if it were a tangible substance, transforming into a violent shockwave that violently sent the unsuspecting Qingyan flying!
puff! !
Qingyan was sent flying backward, crashing into the hard wall of Lingxu Pavilion, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
She clutched her chest, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, as if she hadn't expected Xuan Qing's reaction to be so intense.
Xuan Qing didn't even glance at her.
He rose from the couch, turned around, and quickly put on a dark blue Taoist robe, completely covering the hideous dragon scales on his body.
He teleported to Qingyan's side, a peach wood sword now in his hand, its blade glowing with red light.
"roll!!"
Xuan Qing shouted sternly!
The peach wood sword was pointed directly at Qingyan's throat, the tip of the sword trembling slightly!
The tip of the sword was only an inch away from Qingyan's throat!
With a flick of his wrist, he could pierce her throat!
Looking at the sword tip so close to her, Qingyan felt no fear, but instead chuckled softly.
She slowly straightened up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Xuan Qing with a complicated expression.
"Xuan Qing, I dare say you wouldn't bear to kill me!"
"Humph!!"
Xuan Qing snorted coldly, his peach wood sword drawing even closer as he said sharply:
"I have absolutely no affection for you, if it weren't for the fact that we share a common enemy..."
Upon hearing this, Qingyan gave a self-deprecating laugh.
She knew that Xuanqing's hatred for her was deeply rooted and would be difficult to resolve in a short time.
She stopped pressing the matter, gently raised her hand, and a jade bottle appeared in her palm, which she tossed directly to Xuan Qing.
"This is a Gathering Yuan Pill, I stole it especially for you!"
The jade bottle floated in the air, and Xuanqing subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
What do you mean by this?
Xuanqing held the jade bottle, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with doubt.
He knew Qingyan's methods all too well!
This elixir is not something easily obtained!
But why would she give it to me?
Qingyan looked at him with deep affection!
"Xuanqing, everything I have done is only to help you transform into a dragon and become emperor as soon as possible."
"Because I have taken a liking to you, I want to help you become emperor!"
"You are my husband, so naturally I want to get you more elixirs and medicines to nourish your body!"
Xuan Qing fell silent.
He looked at Qingyan, trying to find a trace of lying on her face, but all he saw was sincerity and exhaustion.
He pondered to himself:
Is it...
She really fell in love with me at first sight, and couldn't live without me?
"As for this Gathering Yuan Pill..."
Qingyan's voice rang out again, interrupting Xuanqing's thoughts!
"I know that you need a lot of spiritual energy to support your cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Technique. Although this pill can't make you reach the sky in one step, it can help alleviate a lot of your pain."
After saying that, Qingyan didn't linger.
With a flicker, she transformed into a streak of azure light, instantly piercing through the barrier of Lingxu Pavilion and disappearing into the vast night.
Xuanqing held the jade bottle, standing still for a long time.
Inside Lingxu Pavilion, the candlelight flickered, illuminating his ever-changing face.
He looked down at the jade bottle in his hand, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He didn't know whether he should believe Qingyan's words, but he knew that the Gathering Yuan Pill in the jade bottle was indeed something he urgently needed.
Why did she give me this elixir?
Xuan Qing muttered to himself, his eyes full of doubt.
He recalled Qingyan's complicated look before she left, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.
He always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
The appearance of Qingyan and the gift of the Gathering Yuan Pill seem to conceal a huge conspiracy.
He knows Qingyan too well.
Or perhaps he knew all too well those wicked women who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
This elixir, seemingly a miraculous healing agent, was actually designed to numb his senses and lower his guard.
Once he takes this so-called Gathering Yuan Pill, he will likely become her puppet again, or even...
"Could it be..."
A thought flashed through Xuan Qing's mind, sending chills down his spine.
However, the next moment...
Xuanqing put the jade bottle into his sleeve. His fingertips touched the cool jade, but he quickly withdrew them as if he were holding a venomous snake.
"Gathering Yuan Pill? This humble Taoist does not believe in it!"
"This is clearly one of those love potions. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking, you vixen?"
In the flickering candlelight, a fierce aura surged in his eyes, and his black beard swayed.
How could he so easily believe such a kind offer that was offered to him?
After saying that, he sat back on the couch, crossed his legs, closed his eyes and concentrated, forcefully suppressing the surging spiritual power within his body.
As your breathing deepens!
A warm current quietly rose from his dantian, like a spring stream flowing over a dry riverbed, soothing the burning pain caused by the backlash from the dragon scales.
Xuan Qing suddenly became alert and hurriedly activated the Ice Heart Technique to stabilize his mind.
He pondered to himself:
That vixen is adept at using her love poison to corrupt my Daoist heart!
Do you want me to be your stepping stone?
Do you want me to be your caged bird?
wishful thinking!
Right now!
The dragon scales on his body were still throbbing with pain!
The spiritual energy within his body remained restless, but the anger in his heart was even greater than the pain.
Since there were no elixirs to help him, he would rely on his own willpower to endure it!
He would rather have his meridians ruptured than touch anything Qingyan gave him again.
He wanted her to know that even if he, Xuan Qing, died, he would never be controlled by her!
As the cultivation technique circulates!
The spiritual energy within Xuan Qing's body began to surge wildly, and the intense pain instantly covered his forehead with cold sweat.
His consciousness began to blur, and he seemed to hear Qingyan's whispers, tinged with a hint of mockery and seduction:
"Xuanqing, take this and you'll be free from pain. Don't you want that?"
"Shut up!"
Xuanqing suddenly shouted, and golden light burst forth from his body, dispelling the illusory whispers.
But this shout also completely disrupted the flow of energy within his body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which stained his Taoist robe red.
His body swayed, and he almost fell off the couch.
Just then, he suddenly felt that the dragon scales inside his body seemed to have undergone a slight change.
The originally menacing, outward-curving scales began to slowly shrink and adhere to the skin, and the scorching heat also subsided somewhat.
Xuan Qing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Ice Heart Technique was working?
He strained to stay conscious and carefully examined his body, only to find that this was not the case.
That restraining power did not come from the "Ice Heart Manual," but rather from the dragon scales themselves.
Beneath those dragon scales, a strange, gentle power seemed to quietly emanate, intertwining with the burning pain of the backlash, and actually suppressing some of the violence.
Xuan Qing's heart sank. The aura of this power was definitely not something that he could generate with his own spiritual power or the Ice Heart Technique.
He suddenly focused his consciousness and probed inward, only to see a faint blue light spreading out from his dantian!
The azure light was as thin as a wisp of silk, and it was exactly the same as the spiritual energy aura around Qingyan!
At this moment, strands of light were wrapped around the restless dragon scales, causing the curling golden scales to slowly settle down. Even the spiritual energy surging in the meridians became more compliant because of this azure light.
"is her!"
Xuan Qing's eyes snapped open, his gaze filled with even more ferocity, his knuckles clenched so tightly they turned white.
It turned out that Qingyan had calculated that he would not take the pill, and at the moment she threw the jade bottle, she secretly transferred a wisp of her life spiritual power into the jade bottle, silently relieving the backlash from the dragon scales for him.
This tactic infuriated him even more than simply giving him the pills!
She didn't even leave him a chance to refuse!
Is this meticulous, step-by-step approach a genuine attempt to help him, or is it part of a more secretive scheme?
He gritted his teeth and activated the "Ice Heart Technique," trying to force that wisp of blue light out of his body!
But that blue light was like a leech, clinging to the dragon's scales and refusing to let go!
The more he forced it, the more it merged with the dragon scales, which actually lessened the burning pain in his meridians.
Cold sweat rolled down his forehead and dripped onto his blood-stained Taoist robe. Xuan Qing was both angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
That wisp of blue light showed no sign of being controlled!
It was simply to nourish the dragon scales and soothe the restlessness of spiritual energy, but this sudden act of kindness made him more unsettled than any blatant scheme.
Qingyan's move caught him off guard, leaving him unsure whether it was a genuine misunderstanding or her unwavering scheming.
