Deep within the Fallen God Ravine, inside a secluded cave.
Mo Yu gently laid Xiao Yixian down, then retrieved several moonstones from his beast ring and embedded them into the cave walls. The soft glow from the stones illuminated the cave, dispelling its darkness.
Seeing Xiao Yixian's pale face, Mo Yu took out some soft animal pelts from his beast ring, spread them on the ground, and said softly, "Xiao Yixian, rest for a while."
Xiao Yixian smiled faintly at Mo Yu, nodding, and sat down on the soft pelts. Her beautiful eyes observed him carefully as she suddenly remarked, "In just one year, you've managed to break through to Dou Zong."
Hearing this, Mo Yu smiled lightly and replied, "Now isn't the time to focus on my strength. You should worry about your own body first."
Resting her delicate chin on her hand, Xiao Yixian blinked her long lashes. Her weak voice was soft as she replied, "I'm fine. A little rest, and I'll recover."
Understanding her nature all too well, Mo Yu ignored her words as he looked at her pale yet stunningly beautiful face. Without hesitation, he crouched down, gently grabbed her snow-white hand, and carefully infused a thread of his soul power into her body to examine her condition.
As he withdrew his soul power, his brows furrowed slightly. Xiao Yixian's internal state was dire. Numerous injuries marred her body, but what troubled Mo Yu most was the peculiar icy energy lingering inside her.
This icy energy eluded precise detection, yet it continuously emitted a chilling aura, gradually threatening to freeze Xiao Yixian's blood and meridians.
"This is... the Ice Zun Force from Ice River Valley…" Mo Yu murmured, his brows tightening as he realized what it was.
"Oh, you recognize the Ice Zun Force?" Xiao Yixian asked in mild surprise, having overheard his whisper.
"I've heard about it, but I don't know much of the specifics," Mo Yu replied, his face grim.
Xiao Yixian hesitated briefly before explaining, "From what I know, the Ice Zun Force is unique to Ice River Valley. Only Dou Zong experts can cultivate even a trace of it.
"During battle, if the Ice Zun Force invades an opponent's body, it becomes extremely troublesome to deal with. That's why many experts are particularly cautious when fighting those from Ice River Valley. Unfortunately, I let my guard down and was ambushed by one of their experts, leading to my current state."
Mo Yu's expression darkened as he gazed at her pale face, a trace of heartache surfacing in his eyes. Gently stroking her snow-white hair, he thought to himself that the Ice Zun Force had to be expelled as soon as possible, or Xiao Yixian's injuries would never fully heal.
"This Ice Zun Force is insidious. I once heard from Bing Fu that only the Ice River Valley Master himself can remove it," Xiao Yixian said with a wry smile, her face showing a hint of sorrow.
Mo Yu's face sank at her words, but he refused to give up. He once again infused his soul power into her body to study the properties of the Ice Zun Force.
After meticulously analyzing it, Mo Yu's eyes slowly opened, his brows furrowing in thought. Nearly a quarter of an hour passed before his frown eased slightly.
"Don't worry. Leave it to me," Mo Yu said with a faint smile, standing up and walking toward the cave entrance.
"Master!"
At the entrance, Qing Zhi and the Black Bat King greeted him respectfully as he approached.
"Hmm." Mo Yu nodded and turned to Qing Zhi. "Hand me the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder."
"Yes, Master."
Without hesitation, Qing Zhi opened his mouth, and a stream of icy white lightning, radiating intense cold, floated out.
The appearance of the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder caused an overwhelming chill to spread, rapidly enveloping the surrounding mountain peak. Several lower-tier magical beasts unable to evade in time were instantly turned into ice sculptures.
"Oh, it seems the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder has been nurtured well within you," Mo Yu remarked as the icy white lightning hovered into his palm. Feeling the potent power of the lightning, he nodded in satisfaction.
Letting Qing Zhi, a peak Dou Zong with an ice attribute, nurture the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder had indeed been a wise choice. However, Mo Yu couldn't afford to dwell on this. He had summoned the lightning to heal Xiao Yixian.
The Ice Zun Force was highly peculiar and difficult to deal with, even for Mo Yu. But as a supreme type of cold, the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder might be effective against it.
After instructing Qing Zhi and the Black Bat King to remain vigilant, Mo Yu returned to the cave.
"Mo Yu, this is…"
Seeing the icy white lightning in Mo Yu's hand, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
Though she was already aware of Mo Yu's possession of various extraordinary lightning abilities, this particular cold-based lightning was a first for her. Its power seemed comparable to the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder he had gifted her before.
"This lightning is called Frost Spirit Silver Thunder, a supreme cold-type lightning. I'll use it to attempt neutralizing the Ice Zun Force in your body," Mo Yu explained with a light smile.
Xiao Yixian was momentarily stunned, but a look of joy soon spread across her pale face.
Despite her nonchalant attitude about the Ice Zun Force earlier, it was only to keep Mo Yu from worrying. Hearing that he had a potential solution, she was both surprised and moved.
"This treatment… requires no clothing barriers. Otherwise, the effect will be greatly diminished," Mo Yu said awkwardly, rubbing his nose.
Xiao Yixian froze at his words, and her already pale face turned a delicate shade of red.
After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lip and turned her back to him. Under his gaze, her face flushed like a peach blossom as she slowly removed her clothing.
As her garments fell, her flawless, jade-like figure was exposed to the cold air. Her beautiful face was now a strikingly captivating red.
"Absorb the energy fully and circulate it throughout your body. It might hurt a bit, but bear with it," Mo Yu said, taking a deep breath before placing his hands on her bare back.
"Mm," Xiao Yixian murmured softly, her voice faint as a mosquito's buzz. The skin-on-skin contact made her cheeks flush deeper.
Suppressing distracting thoughts, Mo Yu guided the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder from his palm into her body. The flow of energy sounded like rushing water as it surged into her.
The moment the lightning entered, Xiao Yixian let out a muffled groan, her body trembling slightly from the freezing sensation that spread throughout her.
"Although it's painful, the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder will suppress and absorb the Ice Zun Force as it penetrates your body," Mo Yu reassured her.
Xiao Yixian gritted her teeth and nodded, forming a cultivation seal with her hands. Despite the biting cold, she quickly began absorbing the energy of the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder.
As more icy energy coursed through her, Xiao Yixian's body grew colder, but the pallor of her face gradually gave way to a healthy flush.
It was evident that the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder was remarkably effective in expelling the Ice Zun Force.
...
To expel the Ice Zun Force from Xiao Yixian's body, Mo Yu spent nearly four entire days.
Throughout those days, he continuously infused the energy of the Frost Spirit Silver Thunder into Xiao Yixian, allowing her to absorb it fully into her body. Only then was the deeply embedded Ice Zun Force gradually driven out.
This experience greatly heightened Mo Yu's understanding of the difficulty and potency of the Ice Zun Force of the Ice River Valley.
A special force that required Dou Zong-level strength to even qualify for cultivation was indeed extraordinary.
In the softly lit cave, Mo Yu sat cross-legged on a green stone slab. In front of him was an ethereal and stunningly beautiful woman—none other than Xiao Yixian.
At this moment, Xiao Yixian bit her red lips lightly, and a faint cold mist rose from her body. A few damp strands of snow-white hair fell across her forehead, and the sheen of sweat on her delicate cheeks made her appear both alluring and enchanting. Her gray-purple eyes fluttered slightly, exuding an unusual and astonishing charm.
From the palm of Mo Yu's hand, the icy-white lightning energy surged continuously into Xiao Yixian's body. After some time, her delicate body suddenly trembled. Her small mouth opened, and a tiny piece of ice, condensed from the cold energy, was expelled from her lips.
The tiny ice fragment shot out and struck a massive rock within the cave. Immediately, a thick layer of solid ice formed over the rock with a series of cracking sounds.
With the discharge of this small ice fragment, the paleness on Xiao Yixian's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of rosy warmth.
Mo Yu, who had been meditating with closed eyes, opened them upon sensing this movement. Noticing Xiao Yixian's improved complexion, he smiled in relief. "The Ice Zun Force has been expelled?"
"Yes, thanks to the power of your icy lightning. Without it absorbing most of the Ice Zun Force's energy, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly," Xiao Yixian replied with a gentle smile, nodding slightly.
"That's good." Hearing this, Mo Yu sighed in relief. "Now that the Ice Zun Force has been expelled, there's no more danger. As for your internal injuries, that's a minor issue—I have some healing pills with me."
Xiao Yixian nodded again. Considering that Mo Yu was the master of the Yuan Mansion and had two Grade 6 alchemists under his command, she had no doubt he possessed healing pills.
"Could you turn around for a moment?" Xiao Yixian suddenly asked, her eyes glimmering as a blush spread across her delicate face.
Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. His gaze involuntarily lingered on Xiao Yixian's jade-like back for a few seconds before he awkwardly smiled and quickly turned away, shifting his head to face another direction.
Only after seeing Mo Yu comply did Xiao Yixian heave a small sigh of relief.
Biting her red lips gently, she rose to her feet. With a wave of her jade hand, a neat white dress emerged from her storage ring. It floated around her before wrapping around her flawlessly smooth body.
"All done."
Hearing her soft voice from behind, Mo Yu turned around.
When his gaze fell on the young woman in the pure white dress, her fresh and vibrant appearance left him momentarily awestruck. At this moment, Xiao Yixian radiated the same warmth and charm she had exuded when Mo Yu first met her in Qing Shan Town. She was like a piece of warm jade that soothed the heart and soul.
At this moment, she truly resembled the Xiao Yixian who was regarded as the goddess by all mercenaries in Qing Shan Town, not the Poison Sect's feared and infamous Heavenly Poison Lady of the Chu Yun Empire.
"What are you staring at?" Xiao Yixian chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes curving playfully.
"Admiring beauty," Mo Yu teased with a smile. He leaped off the stone slab and landed beside Xiao Yixian. Gently holding her jade-like hand, he closed his eyes slightly and began examining her internal injuries.
Xiao Yixian gazed at his handsome and youthful face. His features remained as striking as ever, but compared to before, they carried a hint of maturity. Like fine wine, this maturity gave him a warmth that gradually seeped into her heart, making him even more captivating.
"Thank you," she murmured softly, her voice so low that only she could hear it. A faint, tender smile graced her face, one that seemed to carry a new emotion, adding to her beauty and warmth.
Mo Yu's closed eyes opened after a moment, and he smiled. "The situation is better than I thought. Take this pill, and you should recover to your peak within two or three days."
With that, Mo Yu retrieved a perfectly round sixth-grade healing pill, previously refined by Gu He, from his beast ring and handed it to Xiao Yixian.
Xiao Yixian accepted the pill with her delicate hand and nodded gently. Having Mo Yu by her side seemed to give her a sense of peace and comfort.
"How is your Woeful Poison Body?" Mo Yu asked suddenly, noticing Xiao Yixian's complexion.
"It's manageable, but I can feel that there are only two or three months left before it erupts," Xiao Yixian replied with a faint smile, her tone light as though she were speaking about someone else.
"Manageable?" Mo Yu frowned.
Sensing his displeasure, Xiao Yixian smiled faintly. "Even if the Woeful Poison Body fully erupts and takes over my consciousness, I will still recognize you."
This memory was deeply ingrained. The person before her held an irreplaceable place in her life.
He was her first and only true friend. Over time, this once pure friendship seemed to have evolved into something heavier and more profound.
"Stop spouting nonsense. Don't worry, within these two or three months, I'll lure out the Ice River Valley Master, eliminate him, and restore the Profound Yin Poison Demon Thunder to its peak. That way, I can help you condense a poison pill to control the Woeful Poison Body," Mo Yu said earnestly.
Xiao Yixian smiled softly in response, her crescent-like eyes gazing at Mo Yu with deep affection.
"But before that, I need to meet an old friend," Mo Yu said, stroking his chin.
"Oh? Who is it?" Xiao Yixian asked curiously.
"Liu Qing of Tian Huang City."
