XIAO SHUXIANG'S
409 - Blood Pool Cleaning Technique
Throughout the night, Xiao Shuxiang kept moaning, sometimes he groaned as the wound on the back of his right shoulder touched the bed.
The Mad Beggar Boy, Xiao Qing Yan, Hu Li, Ling Ya Bing, Lan Xiao, and O Zhan remained with him all night. The look on their faces revealed a deep anxiety.
On the other hand, Lan Guan Zhi and Ling Qing Zhu continued to look for ways to save Xiao Shuxiang. The two were also helped by Ling Chu Zhen and Ling Lang Tian.
It was actually difficult for Ling Lang Tian to focus on helping his sister's Guardian Protector, this was because he also had the obligation of repairing his chaotic sect due to being attacked by the Blood Scarlet members.
Right in the morning, news of the severely injured Xiao Shuxiang began to spread throughout the entire Sky Pagoda Sect.
Yang Shu, Yang Fu, Xiao WeiWei, Yang Hao, Hai Feng, and Zhi Shu came up using the Moving Mirror.
They were shocked to see the condition of the Sky Pagoda Sect and were shocked by the news regarding Xiao Shuxiang's condition which was so extremely alarming. Soon they were escorted by a disciple to one of the rooms, the place where Xiao Shuxiang was.
...
"Xiao 'Er.." Yang Shu held his grandson's hand, the look on his face was so anxious. He could not imagine how ill this beloved grandson was.
Xiao Shuxiang himself could not say alright to Yang Shu as well as his beautiful mother.
Honestly speaking, he wanted to slash next to his body if indeed with that he was able to take out the Bone Penetrating Nail right now. But what he knew, this heirloom could not be issued in this way.
!
Xiao Shuxiang groaned again, sweat pouring down his neck and forehead, he firmly held Yang Shu's hand as if hoping that with this the pain would be slightly reduced.
"Damn it..! L'm.. Not really strong.."
Xiao Shuxiang spewed out fresh blood. He made Grandpa, his mother, and his friends surprised.
None of them were not worried about seeing Xiao Shuxiang's condition. Moreover, Hu Li had previously told him that the state of his Young Master Xiao was due to the actions of the Blood Scarlet.
Yang Hao, "Dad, we have to do something. If Xiao'Er continued like this, then he could have.."
Yang Hao did not want to say what he had in mind, it could have been the worst reality ever.
Zhi Shu and Hai Feng were just about to speak, but the sound of the door being shifted made the two of them simultaneously turn their heads. The one who came was apparently Ling Qin Qi.
The white-haired girl, as well as a cousin of Ling Qing Zhu, came here to deliver a message from the Patriarchs of the Sky Pagoda Sect.
Although the condition of their sect was still in improvement, the situation that happened to Xiao Shuxiang was not underestimated. They were also trying to get the Guardian Protector from Ling Qing Zhu to recover.
".. My neighbor said, only with the Purification of the Blood Pool can make Young Master Xiao's condition better, even though the heirloom is still stuck in his body."
!!
Yang Shu was surprised, the Purification of the Blood Pool was something familiar to his ears. "Don't joke, son. Purification of the Blood Pool was a Forbidden Technique. It takes a living victim to carry it out."
!?
Xiao WeiWei, "Dad.."
"Wei'Erb.. I know what you're thinking. The purification of the Blood Pool was a Forbidden Technique of the Northern Continent. The result is indeed powerful pain relief, but the person who performs this technique must sacrifice his own blood,"
Yang Shu could not explain it more, the condition of his beloved grandson was much more important.
Ling Qin Qi understood correctly the intent of Yang Shu. He also explained that indeed the workings of the Blood Pool Purification Technique were like that, which was that there had to be a living sacrifice for his blood to be drawn.
"... But you don't worry, because this technique is not at all harmful to Young Master Xiao,"
"Indeed not for my Beloved Grandson, but this technique endangers the life of the person whose blood should be used. I'm.."
Yang Shu would deeply regret himself if anyone were to be sacrificed for the safety of his grandson. However, Ling Qin Qi said that the use of this technique would not be done carelessly.
".. For more details, the Elder could ask Young Master Ling or Lord Ling Chu Zhen. We should immediately bring Young Master Xiao over right now, I'm afraid that if you spend too much time here, the impact will get worse,"
Crazy Beggar Boy, "He's right! I'll help you too. He got hurt like this too for saving me,"
Xiao Shuxiang did not know the Mad Beggar Boy's words included praise or pity, but what was clear was that he wanted to slash the necks of those around him right now.
He was in pain and near death, but his friends were busy discussing how to recover his body.
They care about him, they care about him. But because they cared too much, they forgot that Xiao Shuxiang was currently in a lot of pain.
Yang Hao began to raise his son carefully, he was helped by the Mad Beggar Boy and Zhi Shu.
Hu Li, as one of the citizens of the Northern Continent-he also knew about the Blood Pool Refining Technique. However, he understood much more that his Young Master Xiao needed help compared to the explanation regarding the Forbidden Technique.
Hu Li requested that Hai Feng and Lan Xiao go with Yang Hao, while he would go to meet Jing Mi, Hou Yong, and the rest of the group, and his other Young Master friends for believing they can help.
At the same time, ten people who were the Patriarch of the Sky Pagoda Sect including Ling Lang Tian were inside the white stone-walled room. In front of them was a pond with clear water.
Ling Xuan Lu, the aunt of Ling Qing Zhu was also in this room. He did not like the Guardian Protector of his nephew, but he also did not want the young man killed because of the actions of others.
If what made Xiao Shuxiang seriously injured was his own son, then Ling Xuan Lu would definitely not be in this place. He would also not issue the proposal of the Blood Pool Refining Technique to the elders of his sect.
"What they really want.." Ling Xuan Lu talked about the Blood Scarlet, ".. After making a mess in this sect, it kidnapped Bing'Er, and now they were wounding the bratty young man. Since the arrival of Shuxiang, this place has really changed a lot,"
Ling Dong Hun knew which way the conversation was going from the woman in front of him. It was obvious that the intent of Ling Xuan Lu's remark was to compare the conditions of the Sky Pagoda Sect before Xiao Shuxiang had come until now.
"I know what you mean. This sect had never been attacked before, and the name 'Blood Scarlet' had only been sticking out lately. It was as if the group existed together with the presence of Xiao Shuxiang and his companions. But even though the appearance of the Blood Scarlet is indeed related to Xiao Shuxiang even once, we should still help her."
Ling Xuan Lu exhaled softly upon hearing the remark from Ling Dong Hun. Among the Patriarchs, only he had originally vehemently opposed Xiao Shuxiang's presence.
Long time waiting, Yang Hao and the Crazy Beggar Boy finally came over with Xiao Shuxiang. The Alchemist Chef looked so pale and was in such a mess.
!!
Ling Chu Zhen and the Patriarch were surprised to see the thin black veins on Xiao Shuxiang's neck as well as face. The young man looked different, he was like an undead who had just been resurrected from the dead.
"Hurry and bring him here.." Ling Chu Zhen was anxious, himself rushing to help Yang Hao while saying to take off all of Xiao Shuxiang's clothes.
The Patriarchs also began to prepare, they took their respective places on the lips of the pond. They sat cross-legged and slowly closed their eyes.
Strange auras began to appear on the bodies of the ten patriarchs as they tried to focus. The atmosphere turned silent and felt a little tense.
!!
The Mad Beggar Boy was shocked when he saw Xiao Shuxiang's body when he took off the young man's clothes.
The blackish thin veins had spread on Xiao Shuxiang's back and stomach. The veins seemed to come from a wound on the back of his right shoulder.
"If he's an ordinary cultivator, then I make sure he won't survive. The wound is too bad, I'm afraid it won't work,"
Not only was the Mad Beggar Boy, but Yang Hao also felt that way.
After helping to remove the clothes and see for himself Xiao Shuxiang's body, he could not believe his son could still survive.
"I knew a little from my father that the person who was hit by the Bone Penetrating Nail would not recognize himself. That person would turn into a bloodthirsty monster. Xiao'Er must have fought hard to maintain her consciousness.."
Yang Hao carefully helped Xiao Shuxiang into the pond. He could feel his son's body being extremely cold. He was anxious, but still behaved like a father who believed that his son would be fine.
The moment Xiao Shuxiang's body touched the water, the radiance of the Fire Phoenix bird slowly appeared on his back. The Fire Phoenix was seen moving, as if it was trapped inside a net made of blackish thin veins.
Xiao Shuxiang himself tried to sit cross-legged in the pond. He spewed out fresh blood several times, his forehead interlacing with the pain.
Zhi Shu and Hai Feng were also in this room, both of them volunteering to help. Yang Shu allowed his disciple because according to him, the danger in the Blood Pool Refining Technique would be minimized when many parties came to help.
".. But remember one thing, you must concentrate fully. If you are unable, then do not force yourself. You understand?"
Hai Feng and Zhi Shu nodded, they rushed to take a spot on the lip of the pond and were followed by the Mad Beggar Boy.
In fact, performing the Blood Pool Refining technique required full concentration, just a little careless of life being at stake.
The clear water around Xiao Shuxiang slowly turned a little reddish as Ling Chu Zhen and the patriarchs began to issue hand seals.
The process of this technique takes a long time and can only stop when the red color in the pool water turns thick.
The Mad Beggar Boy took part in the Blood Pool Refining Technique. His face looked pale, he could feel the blood on his body flowing out and his whole body was limp to the point of almost falling down.
"This.. Truly a dangerous technique.." fresh blood dripped down the corner of the Crazy Beggar Boy's lips, as well as several patriarchs including Yang Shu and Zhi Shu.
Lan Xiao also did not stay silent, he used his life energy to help the elders as well as his friends.
Hu Li had only returned after seven days, he had previously gone to the Thousand Year Inn to meet Jing Mi, Nie Shang, and the others. But he got word that his friends went to the Golden Lotus Association in the Southern Sky Empire.
He then shot out at such a high speed that he had to lose a lot of Qi. Hu Li took four days without a break to get to her destination and was lucky to meet Nie Shang and his other friends on the way.
Hearing that Xiao Shuxiang was seriously injured and needed help, Jing Mi, Nie Shang, and Hou Yong were shocked. They rushed home with Nie Shang taken flying by Jing Mi.
Siu Yixin and Mo Huai who first met Hu Li and knew about Xiao Shuxiang's condition immediately went to the Sky Pagoda Sect.
Yi Wen was the last person to know that his Brother Xiao was injured, and he was told by one of the servants when he returned to the Thousand Years Inn.
The look on his face did not show any surprise, even Yi Wen looked mediocre and seemed to have expected this to happen.
"Miss Wen, the inn is not under surveillance. Master Siu Yixin and Master Mo Huai are going to the Sky Pagoda Sect, are you going there too?"
Yi Wen fiddled with her short hair while staring at the female servant in front of her. He then said he would follow his friends and leave the affairs of the inn supervision to the waiter in front of him.
".. I trust you Auntie, then I'll go first.."
"Be careful Miss Wen,"
Yi Wen smiled towards the female servant in front of her, she then turned her body and instantly her smile faded away. It was like he was thinking of something.
"Qian Kun was moving faster than I expected, I didn't think he was a less patient person. Poor Brother Xiao, he must be suffering a lot right now.."
Yi Wen's sad-sounding voice did not match her interested lips at all to form a strange smile.
The lightning in his eyes seemed to prove that he was already impatient to see as much as what Xiao Shuxiang was currently suffering from.
"In good health, my brother is so charming, especially when he is on the verge of death. I really can't wait to see it," Yi Wen's smile widened, he stepped his feet away while occasionally humming.
