The person who was here to find He Mengxi was Da Zhuang, who had accompanied the father and daughter duo to the Ziyun planet.
Da Zhuang now was even more stocky than before, and his original calm and peaceful face now looked more mature and aged, giving him a sense of maturity as if he had grown up overnight.
At this very instant, Da Zhuang’s face and eyes were full of urgency and worry.
Whoosh!
He Mengxi rushed out of the yard without even greeting Da Zhuang and immediately headed for another courtyard on another side of the mountain. That was where his father, Da Zhuang and she had been residing.
He Mengxi traveled with big and urgent steps with Da Zhuang following closely behind.
As for Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei, they accompanied He Mengxi and Da Zhuang as well.
“Father!”
In one of the rooms in the courtyard, He Mengxi knelt before the bed. On the bed, an exhausted and worn out middle-aged man was lying down. This middle-aged man’s body was thin, frail and weak. Dark energy surrounded his entire body, and he looked like skin and bones.
It was hard to imagine that this was the great Autumn Valley Head of the Lightning Sword Sect.
“Don’t be sad.”
He Jin squeezed out a smile that was absolutely devastating to see, “Promise me that you will not be rash. Before you become strong enough and receive Donghuang’s permission, do not seek revenge on your own… Next time, do listen to Donghuang. Although he is younger than you, he is more mature and far-sighted than you.
“Wait for him to return here, but before he returns here, do not leave the Ziyun planet. As for me, I’m afraid I will not be able to wait for his return.”
After speaking these words with great difficulty, He Jin’s energy seemed to decay further as if he were a twig burning in a fire and could be extinguished anytime.
Just as He Mengxi’s face changed, Da Zhuang, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei’s faces changed as well.
A voice sounded out from outside:
“Valley Head, I have returned!”
This voice was full of determination, warmth and a hint of concern. Once it traveled into the ears of those present, their faces all lit up.
Even He Jin seemed to momentarily earn back some energy.
Whoosh!
As if a gust of wind had blown in, a white figure flew in at top speed and appeared at the bedside. Clearly, this was a handsome young man dressed in white. He gave off a glorious aura, and once he appeared, everyone was at a loss for words.
“Miss Mengxi, this young man says that he can help Sir He Jin to get rid of the poison.”
A young man dressed in plain clothes walked in. He had a friendly demeanor, and his gaze was warm. Clearly, this was Fu, who had been by Zhou Donghuang’s side for a long time.
It was also Fu who had brought Zhou Donghuang here.
After Zhou Donghuang had arrived on the planet, he first went to find his mother, Lin Lan, and sister, Yun Lu. However, they were nowhere to be found, so he visited Fu’s residence and immediately rushed here with Fu leading the way.
Once Fu had spoken, He Mengxi’s eyes, which were already brighter, now glowed even brighter than before. “Little brother, do you… do you really have a solution to cure my father of this poison?”
“Third Senior Sister, this little bit of poison is no match for me.”
Zhou Donghuang then helped He Jin up from the bed and placed him in a cross-legged position. He then took out a space ring, reached within and pulled out some core drugs before feeding them to He Jin.
“Valley Head, this is a Poison Nullifying drug that I managed to get somewhere else. It is known for being able to cancel out many types of poison. Even if it is unable to nullify the poison completely, at least the poison’s toxicity will no longer affect you.
“Just to be cautious, after you consume this pill, I will support you in getting rid of the poison… I know a method for dispelling poison. Even if this Poison Nullifying drug does not manage to cure the poison that has traveled to other parts of your body, as long as it can suppress the majority of it, then I have confidence in handling the rest.”
Upon hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words, He Jin swallowed the Poison Nullifying drug that he had been given without any further hesitation.
Afterwards, the black poison that He Jin’s body was affected with was suppressed just as Zhou Donghuang had promised, but it did not disappear completely.
“Fu, go to the yard and pick a flower or a leaf for me.”
Zhou Donghuang quickly gave Fu instructions.
“Yes, Young Master.”
Fu acknowledged Zhou Donghuang’s request, left the room and brought back both a leaf and a flower. Zhou Donghuang then instructed him to place these items flat on the ground next to He Jin.
Png! Png!
At the same time, Zhou Donghuang sat behind He Jin with both palms outstretched and placed them on He Jin’s back.
Next, Zhou Donghuang began to transfer the essential core that was within him into He Jin. This essential core slowly and steadily flowed without facing any obstacles or issues. This was because He Jin’s internal essential core was used up to defend against the poison that had entered him.
This easy transfer made the entire process more convenient for Zhou Donghuang as well.
As he worked, Zhou Donghuang began to utilize the Grafting method that he remembered from his past life. This method was used to dispel poison. His essential core continued to work until it covered He Jin’s entire body. It accessed the places where the poison had infected and worked to reduce this poison.
Then, Zhou Donghuang uttered more spells, and He Jin’s internal poison all heeded the command of Zhou Donghuang’s inner core and left He Jin’s body. The poison was then transferred to the flower and leaf that had been placed beside He Jin’s body on the ground.
The entire time, He Mengxi stared anxiously at Zhou Donghuang and He Jin without looking away for even a second.
About a minute later, everyone saw a beam of black light fly up from the top of He Jin’s head with a flash. They all turned their heads and saw the black light enter the flower that was placed beside He Jin.
At the same time, the flower began to shed all its petals turned completely black as if it had been burned.
“This…”
He Mengxi’s nostrils flared in shock. She was originally kneeling at the bottom of the bed, but she now instinctively stood up due to her shock.
The soft wind that was created due to her movement then swept over the ashy and dead-looking flower on the bed. The flower was instantly torn to pieces and flew up in a cloud of black ashes.
“It’s done.” Zhou Donghuang then spoke up suitably.
However, one could tell that his voice was rather strained and weak, “As for the Valley Head, he… The poison within him has been completely dealt with. After this, he only needs to rest for some time before he returns back to his original state.
“Third Senior Sister, you need not worry about me.”
Zhou Donghuang’s clothes were now fully soaked in sweat from top to bottom, and his forehead was drenched in sweat as well.
Even though only a minute had gone by, it was almost as if he had used up all the energy within his body. The four Primordial Soul Powers within his inner core had also become dull. With his weakened state, it was clear that he had overworked himself, and this showed just how taxing the Grafting method was.
“Fu, assist me in cleaning up. I would like to change into a fresh set of clothes.”
After speaking to Fu, Zhou Donghuang shut his eyes. However, his fast heartbeat could still be clearly heard in the quiet room.
“Yes, Young Master.”
Fu quickly agreed and came forward to assist Zhou Donghuang. Under the keen gaze of the other three ladies and one male in the room, he brought Zhou Donghuang away.
“Father, how do you feel?” He Mengxi questioned her father anxiously.
Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei made the decision to stay with He Mengxi instead of catching up with Fu. As He Mengxi helped her father sit up, she spoke to him with concern.
“I feel much better, the poison within me is gone… Do check in on Donghuang, he spent quite a bit of energy on me.”
In actuality, He Jin had already discovered that the poison in his body had been dispelled. However, he had been sub-consciously floating in Zhou Donghuang’s seemingly endless essential core, which was as wide and expansive as the ocean… Within Zhou Donghuang’s essential core, not only was there something as strong as an ultimate Primordial Soul adept present, but there were also three other essential cores at the late Primordial Soul stage as well.
However, he felt that the essential core that was at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage was actually comparable to a normal early Divine Transformation adept’s essential core.
One had to know that although he was only at the early Divine Transformation stage, he was even stronger than typical mid Divine Transformation adepts. This was because he had used the training method Zhou Donghuang had given him, the Thousand-Star Sword Technique, and this had allowed his essential core to become much stronger than counterparts at the same stage.
Furthermore, Zhou Donghuang’s three other Primordial Soul essential cores were all comparable to a typical ultimate Primordial Soul adept’s essential core.
His essential core was that powerful indeed!
However, the volatility of his essential cores had gone beyond expectation, and this seemed to be the case with all his essential cores.
Because of that, He Jin was extremely shocked.
“Four essential cores… This is as if there are four Primordial Soul Powers within Donghuang’s body. My goodness, how did he manage to train up four Primordial Soul Powers? Furthermore, he only had such a short time to do so, but yet he managed to train up all four of his Primordial Soul Powers to respectable stages! The last time he left, what miracles did he encounter?”
The He Jin now was trying his best to calm down to allow his daughter to check in on Zhou Donghuang. However, it was hard for him to recover from this shock.
He naturally knew that training four Primordial Soul Powers would definitely be much more difficult than training a single Primordial Soul Power.
Such a method was one that he would not try to do, even if he was given the chance to do so.
The stages that Zhou Donghuang’s four Primordial Soul Powers were at were unequal. One of the four Primordial Soul Powers had clearly exceeded the other three. If Zhou Donghuang were to train all of them equally, the other three would definitely lag behind.
Under such a situation, crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage would be hard for Zhou Donghuang.
It was even possible that Zhou Donghuang would have to train his remaining three Primordial Soul Powers until they crossed over to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage before he could become a Divine Transformation adept.
“Go ahead… I’m fine.”
As he instructed his own daughter to check on Zhou Donghuang, He Jin glanced at Da Zhuang, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei. He had long guessed that the three of them had wanted to check in on Zhou Donghuang. They just felt awkward to leave as that would have been seen as impolite.
Just as he spoke, Yang Zixi and Ren Jiapei immediately headed for the door.
As for He Mengxi and Da Zhuang, they then followed suit.
However, after the four arrived at Zhou Donghuang’s residence, he had already closed his door. Fu was standing outside, and he smiled as he spoke to the four anxious people standing before him, “Young Master wanted me to tell you all that he is doing well and that he is merely a little worn out. He will recover after taking a bath and resting for a while.”
After hearing Fu’s words, the four then breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not leave and continued standing in the yard.
“Sister Mengxi, Zixi and I can stay. You can return to take care of Uncle He Jin,” Ren Jiapei said to He Mengxi.
Just as He Mengxi was hesitating, Yang Zixi and Da Zhuang echoed this sentiment. He Mengxi and Da Zhuang then left and returned to where He Jin was resting.
