"What's wrong with you?" Yan Xuehen was startled, but quickly recovered and said with a straight face, "I won't fall for your tricks this time."

However, the other party did not respond and even slid limply into the water.

Yan Xuehen thought he was deliberately taking advantage of her, and instinctively took a step back, while raising her hand to her chest to prevent the other person's head from touching her.

To everyone's surprise, Zuan didn't react at all from beginning to end and simply disappeared into the water.

Yan Xuehen then realized that he had really fainted, and hurriedly went over to help him up: "Aunt, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Reaching out to examine him, I immediately discovered that his internal energy was in complete disarray, and even the cracks on his skin were starting to reappear, with faint red blood seeping out.

"Why is this happening?" Yan Xuehen was extremely anxious. This was clearly a backlash symptom after he activated his key.

But didn't we give him Yuanling Dew to temporarily seal his condition? According to the estimate, he should be able to hold on for at least another hour.

Her gaze fell on the steaming hot spring beside her, and suddenly it dawned on her. This hot spring was extremely miraculous, even able to dissolve the terrifying snow woman's cold poison. Could it be that during her cultivation just now, the heat and medicinal power of the hot spring entered her body, dissolving and neutralizing the effects of the Yuanling Dew?

After all, she was a grandmaster, and in a short time she had already analyzed the most likely reason.

Her expression shifted rapidly. She had originally planned to discuss how to treat Zu An's backlash after he regained consciousness, but now it had become her problem alone.

She was a grandmaster and the abbot of Baiyujing Temple. There were few in the world whose knowledge of cultivation could surpass hers, but even after exhausting all her learning, she could not find a way to cure Zu'an.

unless……

But how can I face him, Chu Yan, and everyone else after that?

Yan Xuehen almost bit her lips until they bled. Then her gaze fell on Zu An's face. Seeing the pain on his face even when he was unconscious, she couldn't help but recall how the other party had risked his life to save her several times in the past few days.

Yan Xuehen, oh Yan Xuehen, someone has saved your life several times, yet you're so worried about such a small thing?

The highest level of detachment means that even if such a thing were to happen, it would be nothing more than fleeting smoke; yes, it would be no different.

She kept telling herself this.

Finally, a resolute look appeared on his face, and then his whole being seemed to radiate a holy light.

She lowered her head and kissed Zu An's lips, transferring her vital energy into his body.

The fact that their internal energy circulated within them while they were embracing earlier was indeed considered a Daoist practice.

Dual cultivation is a practice, but that is only in a broad sense. True dual cultivation requires the two people to reach the most intimate state in order to allow the dragon and tiger to interact and the innate yin and yang energies to completely merge.

In addition, with the healing function of Zaun's own Primordial Chaos Scripture, it should be able to resolve this backlash that is on the verge of collapse.

Yan Xuehen came from a Taoist sect, so she naturally knew about the relevant methods. In the early days, some of her fellow disciples had designs on her, but she was aloof by nature and looked down on those people. Later, as her strength increased and she gained a transcendent aura that made her stand out from the world, no one dared to have any such thoughts about her anymore.

Previously, in the Yu family mine in Yunzhong County, she had even made such preparations to save Zu An in order to repay his kindness in saving her.

Unexpectedly, the other party's own cultivation method was special, and healed his injuries while he was with Yu Yanluo.

At the time, she was even ridiculed by Yun Jianyue, which was extremely embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, we still have to rely on this method to save him in the end.

However, she is no ordinary person. She may have struggled with various issues before making a decision, but once she made it, she was exceptionally resolute.

She knew that Zuan's condition couldn't be delayed any longer, so she began to actively guide him with her qi.

She was glad that she had taught him the "Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter" before, so guiding the Qi in his body was quite easy now.

First, let the Qi circulate through both people's bodies for several cycles, laying a solid foundation for everything. Only the final step remains.

Yan Xuehen's jade-like cheeks were already as red as blood. A month ago, she would never have believed that she would take the initiative to do such a thing to a man.

With a long, soft sigh, she helped guide Zu An's qi and blood according to the Taoist method.

He was quickly startled, thinking that there was something wrong with his method and that it would be bad if the opponent's blood and qi exploded.

However, she immediately recalled the comments from the demons who had made her clothes torn during the battle with the Golden Crow Prince in the Snake Clan's Zuan. She secretly spat, no wonder she was mistaken for a donkey.

Although she had said she had no regrets, she was somewhat frightened when it came to the final step.

Is this really how it has to be...?

Once you take this step, there's no going back.

She looked conflicted, but quickly calmed down and looked at the man so close to her with a complicated expression: "I must have owed you something in my past life."

He immediately stopped trying and his entire body gradually sank into the water.

While unconscious, Zu'an uttered a mumbled incoherent murmur, while Yan Xuehen frowned deeply, a look of pain on her face.

Why are there so many such painful things in the world?

Crazy men and women?

Yan Xuehen didn't have time to think it through. She hurriedly activated the profound incantation in the Daoist sect, guiding the Yin and Yang energies from the beginning of chaos to completely merge.

The two seemed to be surrounded by Daoist energy, and the vital energy of the entire cave and even the hot spring rushed towards them. The cracks on Zu An's body were decreasing at a visible speed, and even began to slowly heal.
