Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"Fellow Daoist may not know this, but I actually dreamed of you the moment you stepped into the Southern Region."

A glint flashed in Li Zhirui's eyes. The higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's spiritual perception. But this was the first time he had ever heard of someone being able to obtain a dream so completely and clearly.

Phoenix Ancestor did not explain immediately, but slowly told a story, saying, "So, the next day I had the Phoenix Clan investigate your identity, and soon learned about some of your past deeds."

"Now I understand why I suddenly dreamed of a stranger: it's because you were able to help me resolve the fire poison that had accumulated in my body for countless years!"

"Fire poison?" Li Zhirui was somewhat surprised. Although the phoenix possessed all five elements, it was more skilled and proficient in the fire element. The Phoenix Ancestor was the best among them. How could it have been poisoned by fire?
Feng Zu could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. She smiled wryly and said, "The lava and flames in this Undying Volcano all come from deep underground and naturally carry the earth's evil energy."

"At first I was able to resolve it, but as time went on, the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison accumulated more and more in my body, and I became powerless. I suffered from torment every day, to the point that I could not even manifest my true form."

"I think the reason I dreamed of you back then was probably a reminder from the Heavenly Dao that you could resolve the hidden dangers within me. After all, if things continued like this, I would have to undergo Nirvana in just a few thousand years!"

"Without my suppression, the Undying Volcano will become extremely dangerous, in a state of constant eruption! And it won't be just one or two volcanoes erupting, but hundreds or thousands of volcanoes, plunging the entire Southern Region and the South China Sea into danger."

In the end, a hint of sarcasm and resentment could be heard in Feng Zu's tone.

Indeed, in ancient times, the war between various tribes was so fierce that the heavens and earth collapsed and the world was almost destroyed. Out of a desire to forgive their sins and to ensure the survival of their people, these powerful beings took the initiative to guard various places.

But after so many years, how could one not harbor the slightest resentment? Especially when one is suffering day and night.

Li Zhirui also thought a lot. He had come to the Southern Region for training before, but why didn't the Phoenix Ancestor give him any spiritual warnings back then?
Perhaps it wasn't just because his cultivation level was insufficient at the time, but also because he had previously purified the pollution of the Earth's core, thus being truly remembered by the Heavenly Dao.

So when Fengzu encountered a similar pollution problem, the Heavenly Dao remembered him and gave Fengzu a hint.

“Fengzu, I cannot guarantee that I can purify the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison in your body. I can only try and see. If it doesn’t work, you will have to seek help from someone else.” Li Zhirui never liked to make promises and always wanted to leave himself a way out.

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to do as you please. Even if you fail, it's not your fault." Phoenix Ancestor didn't put too much pressure on him.

In reality, the problem wasn't as serious as Phoenix Ancestor made it out to be. Even if she really couldn't withstand the Nirvana, the Phoenix Clan had quite a few Celestial Immortals who could take turns guarding the Undying Volcano, enough to sustain her until she returned.

However, if Li Zhirui could help her purify the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison in her body, then she would no longer have to suffer every day, nor would she need the Phoenix Clan's Celestial Immortal to share the responsibility with her.

After all, the gap between celestial immortals is enormous. Phoenix Ancestor can suppress the Undying Volcano for countless years, but for other Phoenix Clan celestial immortals, perhaps a few thousand or tens of thousands of years is the limit.

Moreover, through this incident, she was able to confirm that the purification law could alleviate, or even resolve, the problem of the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison within her body.

In this way, she can choose a junior from the Phoenix Clan to comprehend the Purification Law, and once he grows into a Celestial Immortal, he will no longer have to suffer.

"Shall we begin?" Li Zhirui took a deep breath and said seriously.

"it is good!"

Phoenix Ancestor naturally wouldn't refuse, and immediately used her flame form to clear a path ahead, leading him deeper underground.

They didn't know how deep they had dived, but after about half an hour, the two finally stopped.

Before Li Zhirui lay a world of flames, filled with lava, smoke, and fire. The surrounding temperature was so high that he had to expend a considerable amount of his magical power to protect himself from being burned by the extreme heat!

Phoenix Ancestor, in its true form, lay on the central island of the molten lava sea. Its five-colored spiritual light had dimmed considerably, and its originally bright and vivid feathers now showed obvious signs of black and red.

This must be the Earthly Fiery Poison she was referring to.

"With this tail feather in hand, you won't have to worry about the damage from the high temperature." As he spoke, a long tail feather fell into Li Zhirui's arms.

A faint red light spread from his tail feathers, enveloping his entire body. He instantly felt the temperature drop rapidly, and he no longer needed to waste his magic power to protect himself.

“Fengzu, I need to carefully examine your body to determine the location of the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison and attempt to purify it. This process may be somewhat offensive and painful, so I hope you can endure it and not resist.”

Li Zhirui revealed everything that was about to happen, since this time his purification target was not like the inanimate objects such as pills or the earth's core that would resist.

“Okay, just come on over!” Phoenix Ancestor agreed decisively and without hesitation.

But it must be admitted that she was indeed bold!

You have to understand that by doing this, you are essentially handing your life over to Li Zhirui. If he has any bad intentions and makes a move during this process, Fengzu could very well lose her life!

call--

Li Zhirui was under a lot of psychological pressure. If he failed outright, it would be fine, but it was a problem he couldn't solve, and he couldn't be blamed for it.

What I fear most is that he can purify, but something goes wrong in the process!

In that case, it won't just be Feng Zu who suffers, but also him!

Because Heaven doesn't care about such things; it only sees that Li Zhirui's actions injured the Phoenix Ancestor who was suppressing the Undying Volcano, causing the volcano to erupt, resulting in numerous casualties and severe damage to the world.

anyway!

Li Zhirui flew very carefully to the center island of the lava, circulated his internal magic power, mobilized the power of purification, and began to carefully examine the condition of the Phoenix Ancestor's body.

At first glance, he was shocked by the condition inside Feng Zu's body.

What should have been a rosy and healthy body was now covered with thin, dark red threads, so dense that it made one feel uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Fengzu asked, seeing his strong reaction.

"The situation inside your body may be much more serious than you say!" said a wisp of Li Zhirui's remaining consciousness in his body in an extremely serious tone.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "terminally ill"!

He had just examined it carefully and found that the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison had not only invaded his flesh and blood, but had also affected his internal organs.

As for the most crucial and important aspect—the state of his dantian—he didn't bother to check it.

However, it seems that it has not been contaminated yet, otherwise, the entire aura of the Phoenix Ancestor would have undergone a huge change.

Li Zhirui told Fengzu what he had seen, saying, "The situation is now quite difficult, and there is a high chance of failure. You should be mentally prepared."

"I understand. Just go ahead and do it. Even if you fail, it has nothing to do with you and is not your fault." He nodded lightly, took out several top-grade immortal pills to restore his mana from his storage magic treasure, and put them all in his mouth so that he could slowly and peacefully restore his mana.

He then devoted himself entirely to purifying the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison within Phoenix Ancestor's body.

When the pure white spiritual light shone within her body, it immediately triggered a violent reaction from the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison. It felt as if something was rolling around erratically inside her, causing her great discomfort. However, she remained silent and gritted her teeth to endure it.

sizzle-

Li Zhirui took the lead in manipulating the purifying spiritual light to approach the pollution in the flesh and meridians. The two collided and began to rapidly dissolve each other.

It was like a clash between fire and ice, releasing a powerful residual force, and Phoenix Ancestor, as the battlefield, was naturally affected.

But she can endure this pain for the time being.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui's progress was also relatively smooth, but the efficiency was rather low!
Because he was afraid of hurting Phoenix Ancestor, he could only take it one step at a time.

But this presents a greater challenge for him, as he needs to persevere and maintain the purified spiritual light.

Time passed slowly, and after about two hours, Li Zhirui could no longer hold on!
There was no other way; the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison was already deeply fused with Phoenix Ancestor's flesh and blood, and he couldn't be too rough, lest he cause numerous wounds inside her body. He could only operate with meticulous care, little by little.

As we all know, meticulous operation is the most tiring! It's amazing that he was able to persist for so long.

As for the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison in Phoenix's body, less than one-tenth has been cleared so far!

But that doesn't mean it can be cleaned up in twenty-odd hours.

Because the later stages become increasingly difficult and time-consuming, especially since they involve major organs like the five internal organs.

"Fengzu, you still need to take care of the areas inside my body that have already been purified, to prevent them from being contaminated again while I am resting," Li Zhirui said wearily.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Go and get some rest." Fengzu said quickly.

Although she experienced considerable pain and discomfort during the process, she could also feel her body becoming increasingly relaxed, which indicated that the treatment was effective!

This made her imagine how comfortable she would feel after all the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison in her body was cleared away, and how much her strength would be restored.

After resting for nearly three hours, Li Zhirui stood up again, walked to Fengzu, and once again began to purify the pollution in her body.

After nearly two days of continuous purification, rest, and purification, all the pollution in Fengzu's flesh and blood was finally purified.

But the real test has only just begun!
When the first ray of purifying light approached Phoenix Ancestor's internal organs, it was like throwing a huge stone into a calm lake, instantly creating enormous waves.

"Uh-huh!"

Even Phoenix Ancestor couldn't bear the terrifying pain. Her body involuntarily curled up, and she let out a painful groan.

"not good!"

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui also encountered trouble.

At first, things went relatively smoothly. They successfully drew out a portion of the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison and resolved it without incident.

However, the power of the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison increases as time goes on, and the effect of purifying the spiritual light weakens, requiring him to invest more time and effort in training.

This makes the efficiency even lower.

However, Li Zhirui had no way to change the situation and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

This cycle repeated countless times, and finally! After several days of persistent purification, we finally saw the light of success!
During this period, he had a very hard time, constantly recovering his spiritual energy or purifying the earthly fire poison, without any rest at all.

Even though Li Zhirui had already achieved the status of a celestial being, the long hours of purification every day still left him extremely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, if everything goes smoothly, we will soon see the results of the purification that has lasted for several days.

puff-

As the pollution from the Earthly Fiend Fire Poison was gradually resolved, Phoenix Ancestor's condition improved significantly. The abnormalities on her feathers returned to normal, and the five-colored spiritual light became brighter. Everything was moving in a positive direction.

"call!"

Half an hour later, Li Zhirui let out a long sigh of relief, his body almost going limp, and said, "It's finally over!"

This purification of the pollution within Phoenix Ancestor's body is a tremendous test for him, twice as difficult as helping that senior cleanse the impurities from his body in the Chaos Merchant Guild!
However, the greater the difficulty, the greater the reward, and in the process, he also improved his mastery of the purification laws.

As for how many elixirs Li Zhirui consumed in the process, he didn't bother to count them.

However, given the Phoenix Clan's wealth, they would certainly not treat him poorly in this regard.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, fellow Daoist!" Phoenix Ancestor said sincerely.

She felt completely relaxed and at ease. Although the previous trauma was still there, the root cause had been resolved, so what did the remaining minor ailments matter?
Therefore, her thank you was truly from the bottom of her heart, and was extremely sincere and earnest.

"You flatter me, senior. I am not worthy of your life-saving grace."

"How could it not be worthy? If you hadn't cleansed the pollution in my body, I would have had to undergo Nirvana within ten thousand years, which would have been the same as dying once."

Seeing that Li Zhirui was about to say something, Fengzu immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, given your current condition, you should focus on resting and recovering first. We can discuss other matters in detail later."

"it is good."

He then sat cross-legged to the side, gently and slowly refining the elixir to restore his condition.

Phoenix Ancestor was not idle either. He immediately notified the Phoenix Clan to let Li Zhirui enter the secret vault and select five treasures!
"Five treasures?"

The elder in charge of managing the Phoenix Clan at this time said in disbelief upon receiving the news.

It should be noted that the secret vault contains only three hundred treasures, each one extremely precious and a top-tier item whose removal would inevitably cause a bloodbath! (End of Chapter)
