第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百三十四章 压制天蛛蛊毒

"Brother Lin has also had enmity with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect," Qinxin said, her face filled with unease.

"How so? I'm not quite clear on that," Lin Xuan was equally taken aback and looked at Wu Yun'er standing beside him.

"It's because Master was poisoned by the Heaven Spider Vessel, his injuries are already severe. Therefore, Yun'er dares to conceal the matter of the pursuit order." Wu Yun'er's face turned pale as she bowed gracefully and spoke in a weak voice.

"Don't be silly, there's no need for you to apologize. Your consideration is thorough, doing this is very right."

Lin Xuan raised his hand to gently support her, a beam of light shot out, lifting her up. Explaining the situation to Qinxin was unnecessary; she already knew that their enmity with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect ran deep.

Since they were already at loggerheads, there was no question about offending or not offending each other. Therefore, when Lin Xuan expressed his intention to wipe out one of the sect's branches, Qinxian didn't object anymore but sighed softly, looking somewhat desolate.

"Qinxin, what is it?"

Qinxin remained silent and instead rose gracefully, bowing towards Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan hurriedly tried to support her, but she showed no intention of rising: "This bow is due; I thank Brother Lin for avenging the Green Cloud Mountain. Qinxian has nothing to offer in return, only representing my deceased fellow disciples and the Wu family's souls to pay you a visit, expressing gratitude."

"Qinxian, why are you doing this? When I was not in Youzhou, I received your sect's care; reciprocity is expected. Besides, we already had enmity with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect," Lin Xuan said as he stepped aside and didn't want to accept Qinxin's bow.

Wu Yun'er knelt down beside him, her face no longer mischievous or playful, her eyes slightly red as she spoke in a choked voice: "Master was right; Uncle Senior's great kindness is deeply ingrained. Since you don't wish to receive Master's bow, I am a junior and represent the souls of my deceased family members, offering several bows, which is reasonable."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply.

This left Lin Xuan at a loss for words. Having been involved in intrigue since entering the immortal path, he had seen many such situations, but this was his first time encountering one like this, and he didn't know how to handle it.

However, Wu Yun'er's words were correct; these bows were indeed due. Since she was junior, Lin Xuan accepted them without hesitation.

What surprised him, however, was that while the prospect of revenge brought joy to Yun'er, Qinxin's delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Could it be...

Lin Xuan felt a surge: "Yun'er, I have something to discuss with Master. You should step aside."

"Alright," Wu Yun'er nodded obediently and moved gracefully out of the pavilion.

"Qinxian, you have something on your mind; would you like to share?"

"Hmm." Qinxin lowered her head, a bitter smile on her face: "I grew up in the Green Cloud Mountain."

Lin Xuan placed his hand on the stone table without speaking. He guessed the reason and waited for Qinxin to continue.

"Qinxian entered at seven years old and has stayed here ever since; it's been over three hundred years now. From Youzhou to here, I've seen many ups and downs of various sects, but never did I think that our own sect would be brutally massacred. In that battle, apart from a few disciples outside and the main hall members who fought to their deaths, there was no mercy for the elderly, women, or children. They even didn't spare ordinary people from the Wu family; blood flowed like rivers. Only Qinxian managed to escape."

Lin Xuan sighed: "The immortal world is indeed such, survival of the fittest. Qinxian, you shouldn't be too upset about it."

"I know, but as a senior elder of this sect, I can't personally take revenge on those monks; I really..." Qinxin's usually strong personality was overcome with emotion as she spoke.

Among immortal cultivators, there were indeed many who treated their sects merely as trees to lean on. But not everyone was like that; for Qinxian, growing up in the Green Cloud Mountain for three hundred years, a person couldn't help but develop some feelings. She really wanted to extract and purify those monks' souls, but unfortunately, it was due to the Heaven Spider Vessel poison."

Lin Xuan's face showed deep contemplation: "Actually, temporarily suppressing the poison by using the same poison might be possible in the short term."

"What? Really?" Qinxian, originally just feeling nostalgic, was surprised to hear such good news from Lin Xuan.

"There is a method, but..." Lin Xuan scratched his head, his expression turning strange.

"But it involves some risks. Qinxian doesn't mind; I hope Brother Lin can help me," Qinxian's face showed determination.

"The risk isn't that high, but..." Lin Xuan hesitated as he spoke.

Seeing him fidgeting, Qinxian grew impatient: "No risk? Then what else is the issue? Brother Lin, don't keep me in suspense; tell me."

"This... this." Lin Xuan stammered. He really didn't want to say it and didn't want Qinxian to think he was taking advantage.

Although Qinxian was a clever woman, she had no idea of his predicament. Hearing the chance for revenge, this little fool deliberately teased her: "Brother Lin, are you asking me to beg you?"

"Of course not," Lin Xuan quickly shook his head. "Qinxian, don't misunderstand; I indeed have some difficulties with this matter. It's like this."

Lin Xuan clenched his teeth and decided to take the plunge.

"I've cultivated a profound technique called Green Illusion Mystic Fire, which is extremely toxic. Therefore, there are significant amounts of toxins in my body as well. If we use the method of attacking poison with poison, I should be able to temporarily suppress the Heaven Spider Vessel poison. This way, you can recover your cultivation for now."

"That sounds good.

"Qinxian, listen carefully; this detoxification method is different from what you might think. It requires direct skin contact. You must remove your outer clothing and let me massage key points on your neck, thighs, and abdomen with my true essence mixed with the toxic Green Illusion Mystic Fire to suppress the Heaven Spider Vessel poison."

"Remove your outer clothing? Just wear your undergarments?" Qinxian's face turned red as she heard Lin Xuan say that skin contact was necessary. The mere thought of it made her unable to lift her head.

Lin Xuan felt awkward too; although it was for healing, the cultivation world didn't have such strict etiquette rules. However, since he and Qinxian weren't partners in cultivation, this method seemed a bit excessive.

Facing an old monster like Lin Xuan, he never frowned, but now his heart raced. In just half a cup of tea time, it felt more agonizing than refining a demonic infant.

"Qinxian, I apologize; my intentions are not to be frivolous. Just forget what I said."

Lin Xuan spoke weakly and stood up, wanting to flee with his hands over his head.

But as he stepped out of the pavilion, a trembling voice greeted him: "Brother Lin... if you do that, can you truly suppress the poison and allow me temporary recovery?"

"Of course," Lin Xuan nodded. His heart raced but was confident in Green Illusion Mystic Fire.

"Well, alright; thank you for your trouble."

Qinxian's face turned even more tense and shy. She didn't understand what she was doing or why she agreed. Was it because of her position as the senior elder of the Green Cloud Mountain wanting to personally avenge her fellow disciples? Or something else? In any case, she awkwardly agreed.

"Oh..."

Lin Xuan reacted no better; he turned around and looked at Qinxian's flushed face. Although she was over three hundred years old, her appearance was that of a young maiden, and her figure was alluring.

Just as Qinxian lifted her head, their eyes met, like startled butterflies, scattering in different directions.

With the decision made, if he broke his word, it would be even more awkward. Qinxian gritted her teeth and walked towards the nearby pavilion.

In a quiet room, they sat cross-legged.

Qinxian looked at Lin Xuan, biting her teeth as she removed her outer clothing.

She was left in only her undergarments, revealing her fair skin and delicate shoulders. Qinxian closed her eyes, her face showing both shame and fear: "Brother Lin, you... go ahead!"
