第两千六百七十八章 除恶务尽

As a Spirit Diviner of the Dispersion Stage, she could not only recognize the quality of elixirs with her expertise, but also immediately sensed the extraordinary value of this one. Her gaze swept over the dragon eye-sized pill, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

The fragrance was unique; the color was striking. It was hard to say exactly how profound this pill's effects were, but its worth was undoubtedly far beyond anything she had encountered before. Perhaps it shouldn't even belong to someone at her stage—where did Lin Xuan obtain such a precious item?

Of course, these thoughts remained unspoken. If he truly asked for help, it would be improper of her not to acknowledge the gift. The silver-eyed maiden, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, certainly wouldn't lack in discernment.

With this pill's value confirmed, she naturally felt more hope and confidence that it could cleanse her body of toxins. She struggled to sit up and thanked Lin Xuan with a graceful bow: "Thank you, my junior brother, for your precious gift."

Lin Xuan hurriedly supported her: "Sister, don't be so formal now. You are poisoned; we shouldn't waste time on such pleasantries."

Turning to the dragon-named youth, he said, "Senior Brother, Sister needs to take this medicine. Let's step outside and guard the entrance. Otherwise, if some rash individuals or unexpected events disturb her, it could be quite dangerous."

"Ah, good idea," the dragon-named youth agreed without hesitation. Although he was still anxious, there was little else he could say at this point. He only hoped that Lin Xuan's elixir would indeed cure his sister.

The two left the cave and stood guard nearby. Originally, the Cloud Concealment Sect had faced many challenges, but with the two senior elders together, they should have much to discuss. However, the dragon-named youth was too preoccupied to care about such matters.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan did not feel like making idle conversation. He found a clean spot and sat down, closing his eyes and focusing on his breath in meditation.

Two days passed quickly.

For a Spirit Diviner of the Dispersion Stage, even two days were negligible. However, for the dragon-named youth, they felt like an eternity. Lin Xuan watched with interest, wondering if this senior brother had secretly harbored feelings for the silver-eyed maiden all along, just too bashful to admit it.

This was mere speculation; perhaps their bond as fellow sect members ran deeper than he knew. After spending countless years together, their relationship could not be ordinary.

Exactly what transpired between them remained unknown, but in this situation, Lin Xuan chose not to pry. He continued his meditation, allowing the dragon-named youth to worry.

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed through the air as the cave door opened. A beautiful maiden stepped out gracefully.

The dragon-named youth was momentarily stunned before his face lit up with joy. Without hesitation, he rushed forward: "Sister, you... are better?"

He examined her expression closely; this old monster of the Dispersion Stage truly looked relieved. Although he trusted Lin Xuan's abilities, the poison had been severe. In just two days, it felt like an eternity to him. Finally, he saw results.

Compared to two days ago, the silver-eyed maiden's complexion was much improved. The greenish aura that had surrounded her had vanished, and she looked healthier with a rosy glow on her face. Her condition seemed almost as good as before she was poisoned.

"Thank you, junior brother. My injuries are no longer a concern," the gentle voice of the silver-eyed maiden sounded.

She approached Lin Xuan, not just bowing gracefully but kneeling down in front of him.

Lin Xuan was shocked and quickly tried to help her up: "Sister, why? Please rise; this will make me very uncomfortable."

But the silver-eyed maiden did not get up. Instead, she truly bowed: "Junior brother, you needn't be alarmed. This gesture is within your means of gratitude."

Initially, he had only guessed, but after taking the pill, she deeply understood its value. It effortlessly removed her toxins and exceeded her expectations. She had already recognized it as a significant elixir, and now was sure that it was something even the old monsters of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage would covet.

Although he didn't know where Lin Xuan obtained such an item, his willingness to use it on her moved her deeply. This act went beyond mere gratitude—it was a profound expression of thanks.

Such a result pleased Lin Xuan immensely. However, there were still many other matters to address. The Heavenly Mysteries Sect, Spirit Ghost Sect, and Crystal Valley had lost the mine dispute but remained bitter enemies. The conflict ran deep, and blood for blood was an apt phrase here.

While Cloud Concealment Sect suffered losses, the three sects were demoralized. Although half of the senior elders managed to escape, would they have the confidence to challenge him upon their return? From this perspective, Cloud Concealment Sect held a clear advantage.

Given his nature, such opportunities were not to be missed. He intended to take full advantage and eliminate all threats at once. He did not want any unforeseen events that could allow the three sects to regroup and pose a challenge to Cloud Concealment Sect.

Mercy on one's enemies was cruelty to oneself. Lin Xuan firmly believed in rooting out evil completely.

To be irresponsible towards Cloud Concealment Sect, he would never make such a mistake. The silver-eyed maiden’s poison had been cured, so he presented his plan for dealing with the situation to the other two senior elders.

After hearing Lin Xuan's account, both the silver-eyed maiden and the dragon-named youth exchanged glances, their faces filled with admiration and respect.
