The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The members of the Prodigy Group remained silent for a while before Jin Shengfei finally blurted out from the bottom of his heart, "Holy crap... he's such a show-off?"

Chi Miao used to pretend, but she wasn't this good at it.

This time, they really had to admit that they were blown away by Chi Miao's handsomeness!

Jin Shengfei stepped forward: "Cool! Can you teach me how to act cool?"

Chi Miao put her hands on her hips arrogantly, her nose practically pointing to the sky: "When you're as awesome as me, that'll be fine."

Yu Wuxin was both amused and exasperated: "How could this be? This is just too incredible..."

They were both nine-patterned Golden Core cultivators, but although they differed by only one pattern, the effects of their Golden Core techniques were worlds apart.

Jingming nodded as well.

Chi Miao's Golden Core technique is probably of an unprecedented and unparalleled level of genius.

Resurrection and extended lifespan—this completely exceeded their understanding of Golden Core techniques, or rather, their understanding of cultivation.

It should be noted that currently, the only ways to extend lifespan are to improve one's cultivation level and certain special, extremely rare natural treasures.

And the means of resurrection are almost non-existent.

Occasionally, some are resurrected, but they are merely puppet-like beings and cannot be considered true "resurrection" at all.

Chi Miao possesses this Golden Elixir technique, making him virtually invincible.

Chi Miao laughed: "Actually, this move has quite a few limitations, but... it's enough for now."

After saying that, Chi Miao looked at Ying Wuhuo and squatted down next to his corpse.

"Now, I will resurrect him; you will protect me."

"If needed, please feel free to contact Stone Buddha."

The stone Buddha chuckled, his attitude undergoing a complete 180-degree change: "You're all welcome to chat with me!"

Everyone: "..."

It's nice to lick.

Chi Miao waved his hand and cast a shielding array.

Ying Wuhuo's heart has completely lost its function, so her treatment plan must be changed, and the specific treatment process... she cannot let others see it.

If Ying Wuhuo hadn't already known, she wouldn't have wanted him to know.

There are some things... she hopes to bear alone so that her friends won't worry.

The world is fair; the stronger her abilities, the more she has to pay.

Reviving the Golden Core technique... comes at a price.

Although the Dark Moon Yama Dragon Steed was cut in half at the waist, it actually has all its internal organs intact, so it is not very difficult to defeat.

They may be different without being confused.

There should be no doubt... a completely new heart is needed.

While she was punishing all living beings, she was also thinking about how to maximize the cost-effectiveness.

After much thought, it seems there is only one reliable method that will not cause any side effects for Wu Huo.

Chi Miao pinched Ying Wuhuo's cheek: "Ying Wuhuo, you must remember how good I was to you."

After saying that, Chi Miao offered up his Ten-Pattern Golden Core and began to infuse life energy into Ying Wuhuo's body.

His dead cells are slowly reviving. Without the heart's blood-producing function, blood circulation has stopped. Chi Miao can only use his spiritual power artificially to temporarily replace the heart's function.

Then... Chi Miao's ten-patterned golden core gradually changed.

He turned into that little man who loves to scratch his head.

That is, the true appearance of the Star Golden Core now... the appearance of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, a bow-legged little man.

The little creature seemed to know what Chi Miao was going to do, and quickly started to tug at Chi Miao's clothes, making "humming" sounds as it pulled at her clothes, appearing extremely anxious.

Chi Miao smiled and gently patted the little boy's head: "It's okay, don't worry about me."

"The world is very complex, but it's also very simple."

"They were willing to step forward and risk their lives to buy me time because they believed I would make the same choice in that situation."

"We are partners of one heart, so... wherever the heart is, it's all the same."

"Don't worry about me, you're here. I believe in them, and I believe in you."

The little man's intelligence was clearly not that high, and he didn't quite understand what Chi Miao meant, but he could vaguely sense Chi Miao's determination.

It is the nascent form of Chi Miao's primordial spirit, a part of Chi Miao, and can sense Chi Miao's emotions.

It knew it couldn't stop Chi Miao, and neither could anyone.

The little man scratched his head.

Do not understand.

But... it will keep going.

"It's almost time, are you ready?"

The little man nodded.

Ready!

The next second, Chi Miao covered her hands with spiritual power, and then... her palms slowly touched her chest.

She hissed in pain, clenching her teeth. Her body instinctively resisted her choice and rejected her behavior, as if cursing, causing the spiritual energy in the shielding barrier to become chaotic, stirring up a storm!

Her face was contorted in pain, but she never uttered a single word of "pain".

Because she knew that when Ying Wuhuo's heart was ripped out, it would hurt a hundred times, a thousand times more than she was now!

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck.

Both Mirror Spirit and Wuwu appeared.

"Mother! What are you doing! No!!"

"You want to exchange your own heart for Ying Wuhuo? What will you do then? The heart is the core of all living beings. If you lose your heart... what will you do?!"

Jingling and the several-hundred-pound fat Wuwu each grabbed one of Chi Miao's hands, trying to stop her, and they were so anxious that they cried.

However, Chi Miao simply used his authority as the "master" to forcibly take them back!

"Mother!!"

"Mother!!!"

They cried and shouted inside Chi Miao's mechanical sphere.

This is the first time Mother has forced them, and it's at a time like this!

They don't want it...

The spirit of the sage also tensed up.

"Have you thought this through? If the heart transplant is successful, the heart absolutely cannot withstand a second transplant."

"I don't know what your backup plan is, but the loss of your heart... is definitely not a good thing for you."

Chi Miao: "People who are willing to die for me are more precious than my heart."

That's all.

A vibrant, beating heart was now in her hand.

Without hesitation, Chi Miao pressed her own heart into Ying Wuhuo's empty chest!

Her heart was very special; Ying Wuhuo's body did not reject it at all, and with the support of her life force, a neural bridge was quickly built.

Ying Wuhuo painfully opened his eyes.

He...wasn't he dead?

This is... a heart?

Is it Chi Miao's heart?!

For a moment, Ying Wuhuo's mood plummeted to rock bottom!

He swiftly grabbed Chi Miao's wrist with one hand, his face showing obvious anger for the first time: "What are you doing?!"

Chi Miao: "I'll save you."

Ying Wuhuo: "Take it out... take your heart out! I don't need it!"

He was willing to die for Chi Miao because he didn't want Chi Miao to die.

The happiest time of his life was the time he spent with Chi Miao and the Tianjiao Group.

If someone has to die, he hopes it will be himself.

That's why he was willing to step forward!

Chi Miao: "The heart transplant is already complete. If we do another one, neither of us will survive."

Ying Wuhuo roared, "Chi Miao!!!"

Chi Miao tilted her head cheekily: "Say what you want, whatever~"

"Ying Wuhuo... I will live on with my heart."

Tears suddenly welled up in Ying Wuhuo's eyes.

"you--"

Before he could utter the second word.

Chi Miao suddenly collapsed, without making a sound.

"Chi Miao!!!!"

This sound almost alerted those outside the shielding formation.

He coughed up blood, grabbed Chi Miao's arms almost frantically, and called her name.

He called out again and again, but Chi Miao could not wake up.

Tears streamed down his face without pause. He hugged Chi Miao, clenched his teeth, and cried blood from his mouth, pressing his nose against Chi Miao's forehead.

"It's my fault..."

"It's all my fault..."

"Chi Miao, I'm willing to die for you, you know that? You're different..."

At this moment, the Dao in Ying Wuhuo's heart... underwent a change.
