"So that's how it is." Hua Yue and the others were filled with emotion, looking at Mu Hanyan with excitement.
The most excited person was of course Tang Bufan. He originally thought that he would never be able to practice in his life, but unexpectedly, in just one night, his injuries were healed and the legendary hidden meridians were opened. His aptitude, which was originally only above average, suddenly became a genius that even countless so-called geniuses envied. His strength even directly stepped into the eighth level of swordsman.
Feeling the endless energy surging through his meridians, Tang Bufan felt like he was dreaming.
"Hanyan, you must have experienced considerable danger when you absorbed the power of the nine stars in the sky, right?" Huayue suddenly asked.
Mu Hanyan nodded. It was more than just a dangerous situation. If Xing Huan Qianji hadn't risked his life to save her, she would have lost her life. However, there was no need to tell them more about these things.
"Actually, my hidden meridians opened on their own before I refined the power of the nine heavenly stars, and I didn't experience any danger at all." Having said that, Hua Yue looked at Mu Hanyan steadily.
"It seems like it's the same for me. My hidden meridian opened up on its own for no apparent reason. It has nothing to do with the power of the nine stars in the sky." Jiang Yuzhe thought about it and said as well.
Mu Hanyan was slightly stunned. She had thought that Hua Yue and the others were able to open their hidden meridians and have such improved strength because of the Destiny Star Plate and the Ruyi Hair Crown. Now she realized that she had thought too simply.
The energy they needed for advancement was certainly refined from the power of the stars, but opening up the hidden meridians had nothing to do with it.
Is it the same as before, or is it because of myself?
Obviously, Hua Yue and the others also had the same guesses and doubts. In fact, this was also the doubt that had always been hidden in their hearts.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't know why." Mu Hanyan spread her hands and said.
Now, she was even more certain that the appearance of Hua Yue and others beside her was not a coincidence. Everything had been arranged in advance. After following her, they had indeed gained many incredible benefits, but she couldn't figure out what the most fundamental reason was.
Huayue did not ask any further questions. Although they were puzzled, they also knew that it would be difficult to find an answer to this question.
"By the way, where is Zirong?" Mu Hanyan asked.
At first, I was so focused on Tang Bufan's injuries and changes in his qualifications that I didn't pay attention to anything else. Only now did I realize that one person was missing.
"Could something unexpected have happened?" Hua Yue said worriedly.
To be honest, Zirong's talent and strength are both above Jiang Yuzhe, on par with Hua Yue, and even higher than Tang Bufan. Even they have opened up their hidden meridians and their strength has been greatly improved. It is impossible for Zirong to stagnate.
With worried mood, several people walked quickly towards Zirong's place.
"Zirong!" Mu Hanyan exclaimed as she pushed open the door.
At this moment, Zirong was sitting cross-legged, but her face was turning dark and her expression was full of pain.
Zirong opened her eyes with difficulty, trying to force a smile, but she couldn't smile at all.
Mu Hanyan, Hua Yue and the others were all shocked and quickly gathered around him.
"It looks like she was poisoned. Who would sneak into the Princess's mansion and poison her? Could it be Wu Tianxiong?" Jiang Yuzhe clenched his fists in surprise and anger, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"You...can't you use a little more...sapience?" Zirong attacked him mercilessly, just like before.
"Don't talk." Mu Hanyan glared at Zirong.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yuzhe was hit by Zi's words, but he was not angry. Instead, he asked anxiously.
"It's the toxicity of the Thousand Poisons Erosion Sutra Powder that has taken effect." Mu Hanyan said in a deep voice. The joy brought by her promotion to the Great Swordsman disappeared, and her face became extremely ugly.
"Didn't Brother Ye seal it for him last time? How could it happen again?" Jiang Yuzhe asked puzzledly.
They were all full of admiration for Ye Lanxuan's strength. They originally thought that as long as the seal was there, Zirong could sleep peacefully for at least a few decades, and even living to be a hundred years was not impossible. However, they did not expect that the poison would take effect so quickly.
"Because he also opened up his hidden meridians." Mu Hanyan quickly found the reason and explained, "Lan Xun's technique was extremely ingenious. It was based entirely on his meridian points. This way, it didn't affect his cultivation, and it could also seal all the toxins from the Thousand Poisons Meridian Powder. But now, Zirong has opened up his hidden meridians, and his entire meridians have become different from before. Naturally, the seal is no longer effective."
"What should we do then?" Jiang Yuzhe was stunned and asked anxiously.
Mu Hanyan was silent. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
"How about using the same method as last time again? This time, let me induce the poison." Jiang Yuzhe became even more anxious when he didn't get Mu Hanyan's answer. He rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.
Even though Zirong would hit him from time to time, the two of them were used to laughing and joking around, and their relationship became even deeper.
"Have you forgotten that this method can only be used once?" Mu Hanyan shook her head and said.
"What if we're lucky? Let's give it a try," Jiang Yuzhe insisted.
Give it a try? Mu Han's eyes lit up slightly. Although this method of sealing the poison was said to be only usable once, Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe had opened up their hidden meridians, and their physical conditions had undergone earth-shaking changes. Perhaps it could be used again.
But soon, the light in her eyes dimmed again, and she gave up the idea. The method of sealing the poison was too risky. If it succeeded, it would be fine, but if it failed, Jiang Yuzhe and Hua Yue's lives would be in danger. In comparison, the chance of success was too small. She was unwilling and dared not risk their lives.
If she could use the Chaos Sky Fire that Ling Baobao gave her, she would be fully confident that she could detoxify Zirong on her own. No matter how toxic the Thousand Poisons Erosion Meridians Powder was, it shouldn't be stronger than the Ten Thousand Ants Gnawing Heart Pill. But unfortunately, the Chaos Sky Fire was still dormant. If it weren't for the spiritual connection brought by the Contract between Heaven and Earth, Mu Hanyan could hardly feel its existence, let alone use it.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan was completely helpless.
"Let's start quickly. With your current strength, you should be able to do it alone. If not, Huayue and Bufan should be able to help." Jiang Yuzhe urged.
"Yuzhe... stop talking." Zirong interrupted him, trying to endure the pain brought by the poison.
"Hanyan, I only have one relative in this world... Qingwan. Please take good care of her for me." Then, he turned his head and said to Mu Hanyan with a serious face.
"Zirong..." Mu Hanyan's voice was a little choked. Seeing the calmness and determination in Zirong's eyes, her mind was a little confused.
