"I've already told you the method, kid. You'd better seize the opportunity. I think the girl is quite pretty." Danqing's words echoed in Qin Xin's mind, but there seemed to be an ulterior motive in his voice.

"What kind of person do you take me for?" Qin Xin thought to himself, feeling utterly contemptuous of Danqing.

Now that Ling Hanyan is being backfired by the pill's energy, every moment of delay will bring more danger.

If he were to stand by and watch someone die, that would be his style of doing things.

While struggling with this dilemma, Danqing's somewhat exasperated words suddenly echoed in his mind: "You're such a hypocrite. Fine, as your teacher, I can't just leave you like this."

"Pour your inner energy into these three acupoints: one finger below her neck, in the center of her chest, and three-tenths of her waist. She will be able to temporarily regain consciousness!"

After receiving Danqing's instructions, Qin Xin quickly followed them.

After the true energy was injected into the three acupoints, the violent aura that had erupted from Ling Hanyan's body was greatly relieved. However, if she wanted to completely eradicate the dan qi, she would probably still need to use the release method that Danqing had taught her before.

After her symptoms subsided, Ling Hanyan slowly opened her eyes, her face full of pain. When she saw Qin Xin beside her, her eyes showed a slight surprise.

"Senior Sister Ling, you have suffered a backlash from the pill energy. You need to expel all that pill energy from your body, otherwise your life may be in danger."

Qin Xin hurriedly spoke after she opened her eyes. Ling Hanyan naturally knew her current situation. After Qin Xin finished speaking, she slowly nodded, seemingly unable to speak due to the explosive impact of the internal energy, and gestured for Qin Xin to take action.

However, even though he had Ling Hanyan's consent, Qin Xin still stood there somewhat puzzled.

"Senior Sister Ling, to dispel the elixir energy, you may need to remove your upper garments. Otherwise, if there are any problems with the flow of your meridians, I'm afraid..."

Ling Hanyan naturally understood Qin Xin's meaning. Her face only blushed slightly, and without any hesitation, she turned her back to Qin Xin, then took off all her upper garments and covered her chest tightly with her hands.

Looking at Ling Hanyan's snow-white back, Qin Xin felt a sudden discomfort in his nose, as if a warm current was about to surge forth. He quickly regained his composure and then sat cross-legged behind Ling Hanyan.

After erasing all those evil thoughts, following Danqing's instructions, Qin Xin slowly injected true qi into Ling Hanyan's meridians, quickly capturing the violent pill qi and extracting it from her body one by one.

Because the pills refined by Ling Hanyan were seventh-grade pills, the residual pill energy in her body was enormous.

For Qin Xin, who was at the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm, it would be quite difficult to expel them all at once.

After a short rest, Qin Xin once again mobilized his true energy to help Ling Hanyan extract the raging internal energy. This process had to be extremely careful, as he also needed to protect the meridians within Ling Hanyan's body while extracting the internal energy. Damaging the meridians could have a significant impact on her future cultivation.

Qin Xin's perfect control was inseparable from the spiritual sense probing within his Niwan Palace, so that he could grasp in advance where the violent pill energy gathered, and thus better mobilize the true energy within his body.

As time passed, the violent internal energy within Ling Hanyan's body gradually diminished, and her tense face slowly relaxed.

But Qin Xin was different at this moment. The excessive consumption of spiritual energy made him feel extremely tired. In addition, the excessive consumption of true energy in his martial pill made it difficult for him to support his body.

Fortunately, as the last wisp of violent pill energy in Ling Hanyan's body was successfully expelled, Qin Xin finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, everything suddenly went black before his eyes, and he collapsed.

~~~~~~

When Qin Xin woke up again, he found himself lying on a very soft bed.

The delicate fragrance that flowed into his nose also invigorated him.

He hurriedly got out of bed and looked around. He then realized that he was lying in Ling Hanyan's bamboo house, with some of her clothes around him, but Ling Hanyan was no longer in the house.

Rubbing his throbbing head, Qin Xin quickly checked his internal condition.

Previously, when he helped Ling Hanyan remove all the dan qi from her body, his spiritual energy in his Niwan Palace was excessively depleted, which caused him to faint.

Fortunately, thanks to the automatic operation of the Supreme Divine Evolution Technique, the spiritual power in his Niwan Palace recovered considerably during his period of unconsciousness, and the spiritual consciousness he had previously consumed was also restored.

After pushing open the door of the bamboo house, Qin Xin saw a woman squatting in a large field of medicinal herbs in front of him, seemingly tending to the herbs.

After noticing the movement in the bamboo house, the woman quickly stood up and looked at Qin Xin, saying, "You're awake. Are you alright?"

Seeing that Ling Hanyan was now unharmed, and that her meridians had been cleared after the invasion of the pill energy, and her strength had improved, Qin Xin was relieved. He planned to take his leave and return to his residence to study the two martial arts manuals he had obtained in the Martial Tower.

"It's good that Senior Sister Ling is alright. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now," Qin Xin said softly, glancing at the surrounding medicinal fields out of the corner of his eye.

Previously, due to Ling Hanyan's failed attempt to refine pills, the intense heat of the spiritual energy caused many of the medicinal herbs planted in the herb field to die. However, quite a few survived, but it may take some time for them to fully recover.

When Ling Hanyan heard that Qin Xin was leaving, she didn't say anything to stop him. After all, it was always a little awkward when the two of them stood together.

She was completely absorbed in alchemy and had never experienced anything like romance or even had much contact with men. Now, because of a failed alchemy attempt, her body was violated by a junior brother who was several years younger than her, and she was at a loss as to how to react.

"Thank you for your help, Junior Brother Qin. If you have any questions about pills or alchemy in the future, you can come to me directly." Ling Hanyan said calmly, seemingly trying her best to suppress other emotions in her heart.

"We're all from the same sect, so it's only right that I lend a hand. I'll take my leave now." After saying this politely, Qin Xin walked directly out of his dantian.

Ling Hanyan, who remained standing in place, watched Qin Xin's departing figure, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

“Drawing out the elixir energy through the meridians is a technique that can generally only be performed by martial artists at the Dharma Aspect Realm, or by some master alchemists who have such precise control.”

"However, I don't think Junior Brother Qin has that kind of strength yet."

Ling Hanyan stood there, murmuring softly. She was curious about how Qin Xin could help her deal with the invasion of the pill energy, but when she thought about how she was shirtless, a blush still appeared on her face.

Ling Hanyan shook her head, banishing those strange thoughts from her mind. Looking at the withered spiritual herbs around her, she sighed helplessly.

She had spent a lot of money to collect these medicinal herbs and had carefully nurtured them every day. Now that they had become like this, she felt a little heartache.
