Chapter 265: Kindness

The voice was filled with the weariness of age, yet carried a hint of rasp.The sudden sound sent a shiver down Ye Zhiqiu, Xuening, and Bai Qiu’s spines.

Ye Zhiqiu swallowed nervously and turned to see the wizened figure of the Feng Family Ancestor, his eyes finally open.

Those eyes were etched with the passage of time, yet now held a flicker of confusion.

The Feng Family Ancestor seemed bewildered by his current state.

Seeing the three of them staring at him, he asked again,

“Did you three awaken me?”

The aura emanating from the Feng Family Ancestor was surprisingly calm.

Ye Zhiqiu replied cautiously, “We are here at the behest of Elder Feng Lie, to enter your seclusion grounds and refine a pill to cure your poison, Senior.”

She deliberately mentioned Feng Lie, hoping to appease the Ancestor.

At her words, the Feng Family Ancestor instinctively looked at his chest.

The mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman was completely gone.

A look of disbelief crossed his face, followed by a gentle closing of his eyes.

His thin frame trembled slightly.

After a dozen breaths, he slowly opened his eyes again.

His expression had returned to a semblance of peace.

However, Ye Zhiqiu and the others could still sense the underlying excitement within him.

“Five years… It’s been five whole years!

I thought this seclusion would be the end of my life.

I never expected to see the light of day again.”

His eyes were filled with a mixture of relief and wonder.

He then looked at Ye Zhiqiu and the others with a kind smile.

However, the Feng Family Ancestor’s emaciated appearance made his smile appear rather unsettling.

Yet, Ye Zhiqiu understood that the Ancestor’s intentions were truly benevolent.

A wave of relief washed over them.

If the Feng Family Ancestor had woken up and, without hesitation, attacked them for intruding on his seclusion, it would have been truly tragic.

The Feng Family Ancestor then spoke again, “I can feel the power of the pill still lingering within me.

Young ones, tell me your names and the factions you belong to. When I recover, I will surely repay your kindness.”

For the Feng Family Ancestor, simply being able to awaken with his mind clear was already a miracle.

And even before his seclusion, he wasn’t a bloodthirsty man.

Hearing the Feng Family Ancestor’s words, Xuening, Ye Zhiqiu, and Bai Qiu instinctively stepped back, making way for Su Jingzhen.

They dared not take credit for the situation.

The Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill refined by Xuening and Ye Zhiqiu had been completely ineffective against the Feng Family Ancestor’s poison.

His awakening was entirely due to Su Jingzhen absorbing and transferring the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman.

“Senior, we dare not take credit for this. It was all thanks to Friend Su,” Ye Zhiqiu said.

The Feng Family Ancestor’s eyes held a hint of surprise at Ye Zhiqiu’s words.

However, his gaze followed the direction they had cleared, and his expression instantly froze.

He immediately saw the pink hue emanating from Su Jingzhen and the giant spider perched on his chest.

This caused the Feng Family Ancestor’s pupils to constrict.

The Feng Family Ancestor wasn’t foolish. Seeing Su Jingzhen’s appearance, he immediately understood the sequence of events.

His expression moved with emotion, and he wanted to stand up and approach Su Jingzhen.

But despite his effort, he couldn’t rise.

The poison of The Pink Poisonous Woman had pushed him to the brink of his limits.

Even though his cultivation base and foundation remained, his body was severely depleted.

“Senior, this person’s name is Su Jingzhen. It was Freind Su who absorbed the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman from your body, allowing you to awaken,” Ye Zhiqiu explained the situation to the Feng Family Ancestor.

She knew that honesty might be the best policy when dealing with such an ancient being.

“Su Jingzhen… No matter how he did it, as long as he is alive, he is my benefactor,” the Feng Family Ancestor said, his gaze fixed on Su Jingzhen, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

“Young ones, let’s not talk about gratitude for now. I need to recover,” he added.

Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu instinctively glanced at Su Jingzhen.

She noticed that his condition seemed to be improving.

The pain etched on his face had noticeably lessened.

Ye Zhiqiu then addressed the Feng Family Ancestor, “Senior, a significant portion of the poison within you still lingers deep in your bones. While your strength might be able to suppress it, it won’t be easy to eliminate.

I have another high-grade Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill here, which might be able to solve your current problem.

Also, I previously investigated your condition, and I know that once the poison is completely removed, your blood will inevitably dry up.

I also have a Blood-Forming Pill here. If you take it together with the Bodhi pill, it might help you recover faster.”

As she spoke, Ye Zhiqiu directly presented both pills to the Feng Family Ancestor.

With Su Jingzhen’s condition stabilizing and showing no intention to use the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill himself, they believed it was more beneficial for the Feng Family Ancestor to recover quickly.

After all, they might need the Feng Family Ancestor to help them seek justice for the assassination attempt.

Furthermore, once the Feng Family Ancestor recovered, his cultivation might be able to assist Su Jingzhen.

Upon seeing the two pills, the Feng Family Ancestor’s expression tightened once more. He looked deeply at Ye Zhiqiu.

However, He didn’t act coy. He knew these pills would be immensely beneficial to him.

Without hesitation, he accepted them and swallowed them whole.

He then closed his eyes and entered a state of deep cultivation.

The old man wasn’t one to readily express gratitude.

Given his status, he had countless ways to repay their kindness.

In the next instant, Ye Zhiqiu and the others were astonished to see the endless spiritual energy surrounding the space surge towards them, condensing into a whirlwind above the Feng Family Ancestor’s head.

They also saw black smoke rising from his body.

This was the poison that had seeped into his bones and meridians, being expelled by the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill’s power.

Simultaneously, a faint red glow emanated from the Feng Family Ancestor’s body.

This was the Blood-Forming Pill stimulating the coagulation of fresh blood in his bones. Seaʀch* The nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This combination caused his aura to slowly increase.

Xuening, meanwhile, had been keeping a close eye on Su Jingzhen’s condition.

She noticed that the pink hue surrounding him wasn’t as vibrant as before.

However, the spider imprint on his Tanzhong Acupoint seemed to be solidifying.
