"My swordsmanship was actually passed down from my ancestors," Han Yueli began. "It is said that one of my ancestors encountered a woman clad in blue, who taught the swordsmanship to him."
"Blue-clad woman..." Chu Fengmian’s expression changed.
His fourth senior sister always dressed in blue on a daily basis. She matched Han Yueli’s description perfectly.
Could it be that his fourth senior sister had not died at the hands of the seven great sects and actually survived?
If she really had survived, given the realm his fourth senior sister was in at the time, it was indeed possible that she was still alive after ten thousand years.
A saint could live up to ten thousand years, not to mention that at the time, Chu Fengmian’s fourth senior sister was more than just a saint.
"Do you know anything else about this woman in blue?" Chu Fengmian asked, not giving up hope.
What Chu Fengmian hoped the most now was to meet his former fellow disciples, no matter who, seeing any of them was Chu Fengmian’s greatest wish.
"I wouldn’t know that. It happened ten thousand years ago," Han Yueli shook her head and said.
"These matters, I only came to know them through the ancient books of my family."
"Could that blue-clad woman be related to your relatives? But this was a person from ten thousand years ago."
"Yes, it’s an affair from ten thousand years ago." Chu Fengmian sighed deeply, his mood becoming somewhat sad.
Indeed, he should not have held too high a hope; ten thousand years ago, too much had changed, and Chu Fengmian did not know exactly what had happened.
Currently, his thoughts still needed to be brought back; Chu Fengmian still needed to enhance his own strength.
Only with sufficient strength could Chu Fengmian leave the Victorious Martial Realm and go to more flourishing areas to inquire about the past events.
"Here, take these pills," Chu Fengmian said, standing up and handing all the pills he had to Han Yueli.
"Each of these pills can suppress the cold qi in your body for three days, but you cannot use the Ice Lotus Sword Technique right now. You already have cold qi entering your body, and if you mobilize Spiritual Power, you are on a path to death."
"Did you manufacture these pills?" Han Yueli took the pills, looking at Chu Fengmian in surprise.
"Do you have a way to suppress the cold qi in my body? Even the Medicine God could not manage that." Han Yueli was aware of the consequences of cold qi entering the body once the Ice Lotus Sword Technique was activated.
This cold qi was unstoppable and would spread to the internal organs until it completely destroyed them, ending with the person’s death.
She had never heard of anyone being able to suppress cold qi that had entered the body.
One of her elders had also suffered from cold qi entering the body after using the Ice Lotus Sword Technique and had even sought out the number one Alchemy Grandmaster of the Nine Domains, the Medicine God of the Medicine King Sect, but to no avail.
How could Chu Fengmian, a mere youth not even twenty years old, manage to accomplish something that even the Medicine God could not?
"Of course, if it weren’t for the lack of Spiritual Medicine right now, I would also be confident in completely expelling your cold qi."
Chu Fengmian snorted coldly, his words brimming with confidence.
The former Medicine God of the Medicine King Sect had once sought instruction from Chu Fengmian in the ways of Alchemy. Had it not been for Chu Fengmian’s lack of Spiritual Power in his previous life, preventing him from concocting Heavenly-grade spiritual medicines,
that position of Medicine God would not have been his.
"However, within this tomb of the Emperor of Fertility, we may discover some treasures left by the Emperor of Fertility. In doing so, it is indeed possible to find Spiritual Medicine to cure the cold poison within your body."
Chu Fengmian glanced at Han Yueli, then suddenly spoke.
"Come here, sit down. Although I can’t completely dispel the cold poison in your body for now, I can suppress it temporarily."
After hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Han Yueli obediently walked over and sat in front of him.
By now, her heart had begun to trust Chu Fengmian unconditionally, the myriad marvels he demonstrated had convinced her that everything Chu Fengmian said was correct.
Even when Chu Fengmian had just mentioned helping her expel the cold poison—a seemingly impossible task—Han Yueli did not retort.
"Everything that happens here must not be spoken of, otherwise...never mind, in this tomb, even if you wanted to tell others, there would be no one to tell."
Chu Fengmian muttered to himself.
Currently, the pills formulated by Chu Fengmian could only suppress the invasion of cold energy, but Han Yueli’s body was still filled with cold energy, eroding her body.
If Han Yueli was to survive, this cold energy had to be eradicated.
Without Spiritual Medicine, Chu Fengmian could only resort to his unique method.
A tremendous Sword Intent surged forth from Chu Fengmian.
This Sword Intent powerfully bolstered Han Yueli.
"What terrifying Sword Intent, this Sword Intent! It’s absolutely terrifying to the extreme!"
Han Yueli’s eyes snapped open in surprise; such Sword Intent was something she had never encountered before.
Han Yueli, also a Sword Cultivator, naturally understood the terror of this Sword Intent. Such Sword Intent could likely make the true masters of the Sword Dao covetous.
"What secrets does Chu Fengmian really hold..."
"Do not let your thoughts wander, focus on gathering the cold poison within your body!"
Chu Fengmian shouted, pulling Han Yueli back from her thoughts, and she quickly concentrated all the cold poison in her body to a single point.
At the same time, within Han Yueli’s body, the immense Sword Intent transformed into a gigantic serpent devouring the heavens, consuming wirelessly within her body.
Devouring All Heavens Snake, now Chu Fengmian, utilizing the Sword Intent of Thousand Changes, formed a Devouring All Heavens Snake within Han Yueli’s body.
The Devouring All Heavens Snake, deemed a celestial devouring beast, in the Ancient Times, an existence that devoured all heavens, Chu Fengmian summoned the Devouring All Heavens Snake’s form with some power from the ancient celestial serpent.
The cold poison within Han Yueli’s body was gradually devoured bit by bit by the Devouring All Heavens Snake, leaving only completely consumed remnants of poison.
When Chu Fengmian retracted his Sword Intent, he too felt a bit fatigued.
Now, even though Chu Fengmian had stepped into the Divine Sea Realm, such use of the ever-changing Sword Intent indeed put a significant strain on his mind.
This devouring session should at least allow Han Yueli to be free from the invasion of cold poison for three days, and, combined with the effect of the pills, should be sufficient to pause the harm of the cold poison on Han Yueli.
"After three days, when you consume the next pill, I will help you devour the cold poison once more."
Chu Fengmian said, then sat on the ground and began to rest with his eyes closed.
