Lan Shuang's eyes lit up, and Wei Yu excitedly grabbed her arm, "Junior sister, the door is open. The treatment must be over. Shall we go in?"
"Okay." Lan Shuang walked in excitedly. They were not stopped at all. It was obvious that Venerable Qinghe also tacitly allowed them to enter.
Venerable Qinghe's bedroom was large but empty, with simple decorations, which suited his personality. Lan Shuang didn't look closely and headed straight for the inner hall. Venerable Qinghe came out just then. Seeing her and Wei Yu, he sighed, "You two should take good care of your injuries. Why are you standing at the door all the time?"
"I want to see my senior brother as soon as possible." Lan Shuang opened her mouth and tears fell. "Master, how is my senior brother?"
Venerable Qinghe sat down on the chair, poured himself a glass of water, and for the first time, a look of fatigue appeared on his face.
"The internal injuries are no longer serious, and the external injuries are healing quickly after applying medicine. I'll be able to get out of bed in seven days, but..."
He paused, and Lan Shuang and Wei Yu's hearts were lifted up, stuck in their throats. Wei Yu, who was impatient, couldn't hold it in any longer, "Master, just say it straight, we are really worried about Brother!"
"Alas..." Reverend Qinghe sighed again, "Since you're traveling together and have seen everything you need to see, I won't hide it from you."
Lan Shuang's heart sank as she heard Venerable Qinghe say, "Your senior brother has always had a secret. The Sect Master and I have never told anyone. Lu Sheng was born with a pure body, and his cultivation speed has always been faster than that of ordinary people. No matter what he learns, he understands it immediately. He is a good seedling for becoming an immortal, but—"
He suddenly looked at Lan Shuang and whispered, "There's something about being born with a pure body that I'm not sure whether to call an advantage or a disadvantage."
"Since it is a problem, then the disadvantages outweigh the advantages." Lan Shuang looked into the eyes of Venerable Qinghe and vaguely guessed what it was.
"It's not good for those who cultivate immortality, but it's extremely good for those who cultivate demons. Those born with a pure body can make rapid progress in both cultivation, because their bodies are pure and flawless, and their meridians are wide and unobstructed, without any obstruction."
Guessing it in your mind is one thing, hearing it with your own ears is another.
Lan Shuang closed her eyes. "So he had sealed his Pure Body before, and was forced to release it this time just to absorb the demonic energy?"
Wei Yu took a step back in shock, unable to accept this fact. He clenched his fists and smashed them against the pillar beside him, then knelt down. "It's my fault that I was useless. I couldn't help my brother and even held him back... my brother..."
"His naturally pure body is easily infected by demonic energy, but it's also easy to control it. In fact, he's more suited to cultivating demons than cultivating immortals. However, demons are always capricious and brutal. We let him make his own choice, and he chose to cultivate immortals. Fearing he would be tempted into corruption, he sealed his pure body with his own hands. Otherwise, his cultivation speed would be much faster than it is now, and he might even be able to ascend before me."
Venerable Qinghe's tone was full of regret. He was more heartbroken than anyone else to see his most promising disciple end up in this state. He knew how much the disciple had endured, so he hated the demons even more.
"This was originally a trap set by the demons. It was our negligence that led to today's disaster."
The sect leader's voice sounded from behind. Lan Shuang and Wei Yu turned around and saw him walking in with a thin old man with white hair and beard.
