The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

When Fourth Elder Feng Songjiang heard that the old patriarch could be resurrected, he simply did not believe it.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, throughout history, only one person possessed the medical skill to bring the dead back to life—the legendary Immortal Physician!"

"The Immortal Doctor?" Shen Yifei was taken aback. He had heard Ye Qianqiu and Su Yunzhao mention this name before, but he hadn't taken it seriously.

"Fourth Elder, who is the Immortal Physician? Is he male or female? Where is he now?" Shen Yifei asked in quick succession.

Feng Songjiang shook his head. "The Immortal Doctor is just a legend. Whether he's male or female, what he looks like, nobody knows. Alas, Sect Leader Shen, it's not that I don't believe you, but bringing the dead back to life... that's simply impossible!"

Shen Yifei clearly remembered Xinghe telling him that even if he turned into mincemeat, she could bring him back to life. He didn't know if the little girl was telling the truth.

He entered the cauldron with his divine sense, "Xinghe, do you know the Immortal Doctor?"

Xinghe stared wide-eyed. "Brother, who is the Immortal Doctor? I don't know him."

"Then who taught you your medical skills to bring the dead back to life?"

"Medical books," Xinghe pointed to the books next to him, "I learned all my medical skills from here. If you want to learn, I'll show you the books, and you can learn too."

"I can't understand it, I don't recognize the words. Xinghe, are you sure you can revive the old clan leader?"

"Yes," Xinghe nodded vigorously, "90% sure."

"What about the remaining 10%?"

"For that one percent chance, I need to see the old phoenix's corpse. If it's rotten beyond recognition, resurrection will be much more difficult."

With Xinghe's words, Shen Yifei gained confidence.

He used his divine sense to access the Cauldron of Myriad Things and said to Feng Songjiang, "Fourth Elder, let's put the matter of the Immortal Physician aside for now. I assure you, I will definitely bring the old patriarch back to life!"

Even after Shen Yifei gave his guarantee, the Fourth Elder was still somewhat skeptical and looked at Feng Qingyin.

Feng Qingyin's gaze was firm. "Fourth Elder, I believe in him."

Six simple words, no need for further explanation.

The Fourth Elder looked at Feng Qingyin's eyes and sighed, "Now that things have come to this, I'll go crazy with you all. At worst, I'll lose my life and go down to keep the old patriarch company. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Hearing what the Fourth Elder said, Shen Yifei felt relieved. This was exactly the kind of spirit he needed—the kind of willingness to risk everything. People who hesitate and look back can't achieve great things.

"Fourth Elder, how many people support Feng Xiaotian now? How many can you win over?"

Feng Songjiang snorted coldly, "The Grand Elder... no, that traitor Feng Xiaotian, his four protectors are his iron-fisted lackeys, and seven or eight of the twelve elders are opportunists, following whoever is in power. The only ones who truly disobey him are us four or five old guys."

"Switchy characters are easy to deal with. As long as we are stronger than them, they will side with us. Besides these people, does the Phoenix Clan have any other hidden experts?"

Feng Songjiang nodded, "There are also several ancestral figures who have lived for tens of thousands of years guarding the secret realm."

"Could they have been bribed by Feng Xiaotian?" Shen Yifei asked with some concern.

Feng Qingyin continued, "Sect Master Shen, you can rest assured. Those ancestors will not show themselves unless they are facing certain death. To this day, I have never seen what they look like."

Feng Songjiang continued, "Back then, during that great war between humans and demons, our Phoenix Clan was originally going to support the human race, but we were ambushed and slaughtered by the demon army halfway through the battle. In that fight, the Phoenix Clan's elite were almost entirely wiped out. The Phoenix Clan has been living in seclusion here ever since, and over the past ten thousand years, we have finally recovered some of our strength. But who knew that now... alas!"

Ambushed and killed on the way!

Shen Yifei knew that this must be the work of the Celestial Punishment again.

"Fourth Elder, this makes things even easier! You unite with those who oppose Feng Xiaotian, and on the day of his enthronement ceremony, launch an attack on him. I will then have the old patriarch appear and expose Feng Xiaotian's conspiracy on the spot!"

"But we are no match for him at all. Feng Xiaotian has cultivated an evil technique that greatly enhances his strength, reportedly surpassing the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!"

"Fourth Elder, rest assured, if he dares to use evil techniques, I have something even more evil than him!"

Shen Yifei was quite confident in Ye Ling's strength. Even if she wasn't at her peak, she should have no problem dealing with Feng Xiaotian.

As for the four guardians, together with those elders, they should be able to hold their own in a group fight.

Therefore, the most crucial issue is to revive the old sect leader.

After discussing some details with the Fourth Elder, Shen Yifei, before dawn, headed straight for the old patriarch's tomb under Feng Qingyin's guidance.

Soon, Shen Yifei arrived at the old patriarch's tomb and saw the huge blue stone tombstone with the words "Tomb of Feng Jiuzhou, Patriarch of the Phoenix Clan" engraved on it.

Digging up graves and opening coffins was something Shen Yifei was doing for the first time. If he could revive the old patriarch, he would be a benefactor of the Phoenix Clan; if he couldn't, he would not only have done something immoral, but also have no chance of being related to the princess by blood and getting phoenix tail feathers.

Soon, Shen Yifei opened the coffin.

He peered inside and saw a corpse dressed in a golden robe lying there.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, with a heroic face. Although he had been dead for several days, his body was still lifelike, his skin still had a sheen, and he looked as if he were asleep, showing no signs of decay whatsoever.

Shen Yifei muttered, "Elder Chief, I've offended you by digging you out of your grave. Please forgive me, I'll kowtow to you and apologize once you're alive."

Shen Yifei quickly put the corpse into the Myriad Things Cauldron and handed it over to Xinghe for disposal.

Then, after filling the grave, he returned directly to the inn. He set up a soundproof barrier and immediately probed the Myriad Things Cauldron with his divine sense.

As soon as he entered the cauldron, he saw Xinghe squatting next to Feng Jiuzhou's corpse, looking serious. Her hands were constantly moving, and green light was gathering at her fingertips. That light entered Feng Jiuzhou's body through his seven orifices.

Liu Mengli, Mo Ran, Hongxiu, Feng Wu, and Feng Qingyin stood aside, not daring to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Xinghe.

Shen Yifei moved closer, squatted down next to Xinghe, and asked in a low voice, "Xinghe, how is she? Can she be saved?"

"Brother, don't speak." Xinghe didn't turn her head, and her hands moved even faster.

Shen Yifei had no choice but to shut up and squat down to watch.

After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Xinghe stopped, let out a long breath, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Alright, I've nourished his body with my spiritual energy. Sigh, I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

"Xinghe, is something wrong?"

"Yes, brother, now there's just one last step."

"The final step? What needs to be done?"

"Brother, we still need the bloodline power of the same origin as the old phoenix to activate the rebirth." Xinghe wiped the sweat from her forehead, her little face a little pale.

She continued, "To put it this way, his Nirvana Instinct is currently a withered seed; it can only sprout by being nourished by the power of his shared bloodline. If it continues to be deprived of this bloodline power, this seed will soon disappear. I estimate that there's less than a day left!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei finally understood why Feng Xiaotian had used the Meridian Locking Curse to seal Feng Qingyin's spiritual power.

He not only placed Feng Qingyin under house arrest, but also planned to completely eliminate the old patriarch Feng Jiuzhou!

It seems we'll have to let Ye Ling try to break the meridian-unlocking spell.

"Wife, wife, I need your help..."
