Chapter 916 -916 Peeling Off!
Rescue?
Qiao Nan Heng was taken aback. What did sword intent have to do with rescuing someone?
Just as he was pondering this, Qiao Yunshen came in, looking pitiful.
“Boo hoo hoo, Dad, I really know I was wrong. Please don’t torment me anymore!”
“Huh? Jiang Xiaobai, what are you doing here!”
Qiao Yunshen had been crying ever since she entered, but upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai, she immediately changed her expression and her face turned red.
It was indeed embarrassing to be seen in such an awkward situation.
“Sect Master, I really need to get into the Sword Pool. My friend might not have much time left. If we don’t solve this, her life will be in danger.”
Jiang Xiaobai continued his plea, ignoring the rest and addressing Qiao Nan Heng directly.
“Saving a friend? Jiang Xiaobai, did one of your friends get seriously injured? Don’t worry, leave it to me. Our Sword Sect has plenty of medicinal pills for all kinds of injuries, we can definitely help your friend.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yunshen immediately patted her chest and assured him.
On the side, Qiao Nan Heng felt a toothache coming on: “What are you fussing about? I haven’t even settled the score with you for the last time you snuck out and almost got into trouble!”
“Go, keep doing your horse stance!”
Qiao Yunshen pouted and walked out with a pitiful “oh,” but she turned her head and gave Jiang Xiaobai a reassuring look.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but feel both tearful and amused.
Then Qiao Nan Heng spoke up: “Since that’s the case, you go to the Sword Pool. I’ll help you out and catalyze the sword intent.”
Upon hearing that, Jiang Xiaobai was ecstatic!
“Thank you, Sect Master!”
“You’re a rare genius in our Sword Sect, what’s there to thank me for? Besides, you can actually utilize the Sword Pool with your techniques, it’s just part of your training.”
Qiao Nan Heng said with a smile: “However, you still need to pay the sect points that are due. This time, it will be seven hundred points.”
Seven hundred points were nothing to Jiang Xiaobai, he had them now.
The two of them immediately rushed to the Sword Pool, where Qiao Nan Heng had the elders clear the area, leaving only Jiang Xiaobai inside.
And he was outside, catalyzing the sword intents, making their recovery speed even faster!
With that, Jiang Xiaobai stayed in the Sword Pool for three whole days.
Qiao Nan Heng could not bear to watch anymore and finally sent him out, but by then, Jiang Xiaobai’s sword intent had more than doubled in strength, hadn’t it?
“With this, my chances are even better!”
Jiang Xiaobai clenched his fists secretly, hurrying back to the small courtyard.
As soon as he entered, he found Qiao Yunshen had taken the opportunity while the Sect Master was helping him catalyze the sword intent and had sneaked here.
“Jiang Xiaobai, look, I’ve brought you a very powerful elder. He’s very knowledgeable about medicinal pills. If Sister Qiong Jade is injured, the elder can definitely help!”
Qiao Yunshen boasted, patting her chest proudly.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but feel both tearful and amused, while he gave a bow to the elder: “I have seen the elder.”
But the elder shook his head: “Miss Qiongyu’s condition, I have already observed just now. Difficult.”
“It is a special kind of force that has lost its host and is lurking in various meridians, continuously absorbing the life force of cultivators.”
“Without finding that host, there’s no way at all.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Qiongyu’s face also turned deathly pale, but she did not have any great reaction, evidently aware of this already.
However, Jiang Xiaobai simply smiled and said, “To be honest with the elder, I have already found a solution.”
“Oh?” The elder raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical.
“No way, Jiang Xiaobai, you know about this sort of thing too? You’re too versatile!” Qiao Yunshen exclaimed in shock.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, said nothing further, knowing now was not the time to waste.
He immediately took Qiongyu into the room and entrusted the elder to ensure no one would disturb them.
The elder, looking bewildered, agreed, but soon his face turned ashen, “Isn’t this reckless? The girl’s condition is extremely serious, a slight mistake could…”
“Ah, Elder, you gotta have faith in Jiang Xiaobai, he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve!” said Qiao Yunshen with a chuckle, seemingly unworried about Jiang Xiaobai messing up.
The rest of them felt the same way.
They trusted Jiang Xiaobai completely.
Inside the room at that moment, Qiongyu was staring at Jiang Xiaobai, “Why are you doing this?”
“Why? Where do all these questions come from? Sit quietly and let me take care of saving your little life.”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smirk, as Qiongyu attempted to speak, he sealed her mouth with his spiritual power.
Qiongyu stared at him blankly, and finally fell silent.
Then, he resumed throwing ingredients into the rising black flames, and within less than five minutes, a pill exuded a terrifying aura appeared.
A Nine-turn Golden Pill… no, it was a Half-turn Golden Pill.
That was the best Jiang Xiaobai could do with his current abilities.
“This pill is for protecting your life, safeguarding your heart meridian.”
“Next, don’t resist. You must seal off your spiritual power. Although this will accelerate the force devouring your heart meridian, I have a way,” Jiang Xiaobai said seriously.
At that moment, Qiongyu chose to trust him, swallowed the pill decisively, and relaxed her control over her spiritual power.
Almost instantly, black filaments began spreading uncontrollably over her heart meridian; the Golden Pill indeed protected her heart meridian, hanging onto a thread of her life.
Without hesitation, Jiang Xiaobai slapped his hand onto Qiongyu’s chest; his Sword Intent permeated, seeping deep into her meridians.
This was the solution Jiang Xiaobai had come up with!
To forcefully separate a part out, even though this might impact Qiongyu’s cultivation level.
But it couldn’t be helped—if he delayed any longer and let things drag on, Qiongyu would be dead.
What’s more important, cultivation or life?
Jiang Xiaobai meticulously manipulated his Sword Intent to peel away the black threads attached to the meridians and heart meridian.
Of course, he only managed to remove those not deeply rooted; completely rooted black threads were impossible to extract.
Luckily, Jiang Xiaobai had enhanced the intensity of his Sword Intent, otherwise, he couldn’t have achieved even this.
As time slowly passed, sweat covered Jiang Xiaobai’s forehead; each movement he made was tentative and careful—a small slip would cause irreversible damage to the meridians!
And all this while, Qiongyu just watched the frowning, sweating Jiang Xiaobai with closed eyes.
Her nose tingled.
For years, she faced oppression and bullying. She finally had the chance to become the Elven Saintess, only to be driven out.
In this world, she was left with nothing.
Yet, at such a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was like a ray of light that shone upon her.
Offering Qiongyu endless warmth.
Before she realized it, a tear fell.
Just then, Jiang Xiaobai had completed the separation, and although it wasn’t much, it was enough to save her life!
“Phew, that should do it. There won’t be any trouble for three months, but during this time, you must obtain something from the Elven tribe’s secret grounds; otherwise, you really… Eh, are you crying?” Jiang Xiaobai said in surprise.
Qiongyu let out a soft laugh, looking earnestly at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Xiaobai, thank you.”
