"Grandma, who are these two humans?"
"He is my friend, don't worry."
The mermaid guard nodded slightly before letting them go ashore.
Lu Jingzhi used his mysterious energy to pop the bubble, held Yan An in his arms, and stood on the beach.
The chief's fish tail disappeared and transformed into a pair of legs. He then waved at him and said, "Come here, kid."
Lu Jingzhi responded and followed her.
At this time, he looked around curiously. There were trees and colorful flowers all around him. The mermaids nearby heard the news and stood not far away, looking at Lu Jingzhi curiously, whispering to each other with different expressions.
"What are you looking at here? Disperse immediately. Also, no one is allowed to go up the mountain without my order."
Upon hearing this, many mermaids responded and left one after another.
"They are just curious, don't mind it."
"I don't mind."
At this moment, he was completely focused on Yan An and had no time to care about the onlookers.
Then, Lu Jingzhi walked up the stairs. On both sides of the middle section of the stairs were the residences of the mermaids. Further up were shops selling goods. They all purchased goods from the mainland and did business with the mainland.
When he stepped onto the last step, Lu Jingzhi looked at the huge statue, which looked even more majestic and spectacular from a close distance.
The statue is surrounded by flowers and green grass, creating a poetic and picturesque beauty.
"Mother-in-law Mermaid, where are we going?"
"We'll be there soon."
A cup of tea...
The three of them came to the highest point of the island behind the statue. In front of them was a circular stone platform with a lotus pattern on it.
"I'll draw out the lotus in a moment. You must absorb it as quickly as possible. This poison can only be suppressed for a few days." After a pause, she extended her right hand and patted Lu Jingzhi's broad shoulder. "Since your cultivation is too low, I will assist you in refining it. You must hold on, otherwise your life will be in danger. Do you understand?"
Lu Jingzhi looked at Yan An in his arms and made up his mind, "I understand, Grandma Mermaid."
"Okay, let me know when you're ready." The mermaid leader said, sitting cross-legged.
"Yeah." Lu Jingzhi held her and came to a big green tree. He put her under the tree and stroked her pretty face with his right hand.
"Master, wait for me to save you."
He stood up and walked over to the chief and sat down cross-legged. "Grandma Mermaid, let's get started."
"Um."
She stretched out her right hand, and the blue seal on the stone platform was released. Suddenly, the green plants on the entire island grew wildly, they cheered and emitted green stars.
Lu Jingzhi looked up and saw the green energy full of life emerging from the stone platform and transforming into a colorful lotus dominated by green.
"Go and absorb and refine it quickly."
The mermaid tribe leader stood up and stepped aside, ready to assist Lu Jingzhi in absorbing the colorful wood lotus.
Lu Jingzhi took a deep breath and glanced at Yan An on the right, "Come on."
After he finished speaking, he activated the elemental mind method and absorbed the wood lotus into his body.
“Hiss…Ah!”
He rolled on the ground in pain, his internal organs and meridians were in a mess, and his skin was stretched by the terrifying energy, but the healing ability that followed quickly repaired his wounds.
"Hold on, your master is waiting for you." The patriarch released a ball of white light to help him disperse some of the terrifying energy.
Lu Jingzhi knelt on the ground, his body curled up. He felt as if someone was cutting him open with a knife, then repairing himself, then cutting him open again, over and over again...
Just when he could no longer hold on and was about to fall asleep, his eyes once again looked at the unconscious Yan An.
【I...I still want to save her. I...I still want to save her.】
He repeated each word in his mind, gradually supporting his body, and enduring the unbearable pain, he began to circulate his inner mind, gradually absorbing the energy of the magnolia...
An hour later... the mermaid chief beside him breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he couldn't hold on any longer, but unexpectedly, he managed to hold on with his willpower.
"Fortunately, it's a relatively mild Wood Lotus. If it were a violent Fire Lotus or Thunder Lotus, I'm afraid we'd be finished."
She whispered softly and stayed there for a day and a night. Seeing that Lu Jingzhi was becoming more and more stable, she stood up and glanced at Yan An. She saw that her face had turned pale and her lips began to turn purple.
She circulated her demonic energy to suppress the poison more forcefully, buying time for Lu Jingzhi.
After a long time... the clan leader saw that the poison in Yan An's body and the rampant Xuanwu evil spirit were temporarily suppressed, then he got up and left.
Time flies... In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.
During this period, the clan leader came three times to check on the master and disciple. He saw that Yan An's poison could no longer be suppressed and his breath was getting weaker and weaker.
"When will you finish absorbing it? The little girl won't be able to hold on for much longer."
She sat aside and watched for a while before leaving Mermaid Mountain.
…
At night, the moon is bright in the sky, and the moonlight illuminates the dark night.
Lu Jingzhi opened his dark and deep eyes, and saw a green lotus with a hint of color on it, imprinted on his forehead.
And his cultivation level also increased from the seventh star of the Jindan realm to the peak of the Jindan realm, and he was only one step away from the Kuomai realm.
He looked at Yan An, who was barely breathing and whose pretty face had turned purple, and his heart was filled with suffocating pain, something he had never experienced in his two lives.
"Master, I'm here to save you."
He just raised his right hand gently, and the branches of the surrounding dense forest grew wildly. They consciously came to Yan An, used the branches to circle her delicate body, and brought her in front of Lu Jingzhi.
At this moment, the green lotus light on his forehead bloomed and shone on Yan An.
In an instant, the purple-black poison was completely cleared out of the body under the illumination of the magnolia flower.
Seeing that it was effective, the stone in Lu Jingzhi's heart finally fell.
【There is also the demonic aura of Xuanwu. 】
Thinking of this, he stepped forward and hugged Yan An, and spoke again, "Green shade, use my lotus to heal." After that, he pressed his forehead tightly against Yan An's forehead, and the green light enveloped Yan An.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the hot air exhaled from Yan An's nose on his face, and Yan An's face gradually became red and rosy.
About a cup of tea...
Yan An's eyelashes trembled, just scratching Lu Jingzhi's face.
"master?"
"Master? Wake up."
Yan An opened her dazed almond-shaped eyes and looked at the excited man in front of her.
"Where am I?"
"We are on Mermaid Island." After saying that, Lu Jingzhi hugged her tightly in his arms.
Yan An's face rested on his broad chest, and the sound of his strong heartbeat reached his ears.
At this time, Yan Anhui hugged his waist, feeling warm and at ease.
After a long time...the two of them loosened their arms.
At this moment, the only thin blanket on Yan An slipped off her delicate body...
