Zuo Haoran originally thought that he had ended up in his current situation simply because he underestimated the power of the hook. If he had been prepared in advance, this wouldn't have happened.
After listening to Shi Miao's words, he realized that he had already embarked on a path of no return since he started planning the pearl.
All I can say is that Shi Miao really understood what it meant to kill someone and destroy their heart. These words had stirred him to the point of making him lose his mind.
The blood that Zuo Haoran vomited soaked his clothes red, and his head was buzzing.
He tried to stop the bleeding, but it was impossible.
Why did Shi Miao tell him this? He would rather not know anything. At this moment, Zuo Haoran felt what it meant to be heartbroken and regretted it deeply.
Under normal circumstances, seeing him so miserable, Zuo Baozhu would definitely try every possible way to help him, but now she was still immersed in a dazed state with her worldview shattered.
Shi Miao felt relieved when he saw Zuo Haoran like this.
After spitting out blood for an unknown amount of time, Zuo Haoran managed to squeeze out a sound through his teeth. "So, was the reason I encountered Jie Gou's ambush also because of the suppression of the law?"
Shi Miao's expression was calm. "Yes. The plague caused by the hook is indeed difficult for ordinary people to cure, but for a Jindan Master, it is not difficult to eliminate it. The reason you were infected is partly due to the suppression of the law, which brought you bad luck. On the other hand, it is because the dragon vein in your body is still alive."
Zuo Haoran's eyes widened. "Impossible! I've already refined it completely!"
Shi Miao didn't mind letting him know the truth, "Refining the dragon veins is not as simple as you think, not to mention that your Zuo family's skills are not complete at all."
Even the great sects of the immortal cultivation world wouldn't easily refine dragon veins. The main reason was that bearing the consequences for a tiny bit of dragon vein power wasn't worth it, and it could easily ruin one's future. Refining dragon veins for that little bit of power was incredibly shortsighted. The Zuo family's cultivation method was developed independently, and their ancestors' highest level was the Golden Elixir, so naturally, it had flaws.
Zuo Haoran simply couldn't stand the disdain for the Zuo family's martial arts revealed in Shi Miao's tone, as if the things he regarded as treasures were just garbage to her.
"You know nothing..." How could she, who was lucky enough to obtain the ancient inheritance, know the pressure and ambition he carried.
Shi Miao continued, "The dragon vein in your body is still alive. Because you regularly feed it with natural treasures and spiritual energy, it's recovering better and better. For this, the dragon vein has you to thank. Without you refining it, it would have remained dormant for who knows how many more years."
Zuo Haoran didn't want to hear such thanks at all.
Poof! He vomited blood again!
Yu Wang couldn't help shaking his head: Zuo Laogui's psychological endurance is still too poor.
"The reason you're still alive is because the power of the plague and the dragon vein in your body have reached a certain balance. If the plague is eliminated, the dragon vein's power will completely prevail. If the dragon vein is extracted, the power of the plague will instantly invade your internal organs. You won't die, but your injuries will take years to heal."
"Since you accidentally helped Baozhu, I can help you this time. Which one do you want to choose?"
No matter which one you choose, the ending is the same.
If possible, Zuo Haoran would of course like to get rid of the plague, and then let Shi Miao help him suppress the dragon vein. But looking at Shi Miao's half-smile, he knew it was impossible for her to do so.
Especially now that Shi Miao even knows about refining the dragon vein... she will definitely report it to the authorities.
The Zuo family is finished.
The only thing Zuo Haoran was thankful for was that he had arranged for his grandson Zuo Shaohua to go abroad before he left, otherwise he would have been caught in one fell swoop.
Yu Wang didn't quite understand, "Why not just remove the dragon vein from his body."
What if he finds a way to completely refine it?
Shi Miao said, "If he continues to live, he can continue to nurture the dragon vein. The dragon vein's power has already been established, and he can't suppress it just because he wants to."
"Once the dragon vein escapes, no matter where Zuo Haoran is, it will automatically return home. After all, the dragon vein is different from some ruthless people. It has feelings for this land and will not recognize outsiders."
Zuo Haoran wanted to vomit blood again. This was treating him as the nourishment of the dragon vein. He said that Shi Miao couldn't be so kind.
Was Miao being sarcastic when he couldn't hear it? He was right to strive for higher positions. His only mistake was a lack of understanding of the dragon vein, which led to his downfall. Who would have thought that the dragon vein could be so treacherous, and would even exploit humans?
Zuo Haoran still doesn’t know that the dragon vein can only have a glimmer of hope because Shi Miao threw a ball of life force to protect it.
Zuo Haoran said: "Help me eliminate the plague first."
If he wants to take a gamble.
"Okay." Shi Miao knew Zuo Haoran's character would not give up until he reached the Yellow River. Just when he was holding on to hope, he would completely push him into the abyss of despair.
A green light appeared and fell on Zuo Haoran.
Zuo Haoran felt that the pain that had been plaguing him for so long had eased considerably in that instant. His emotions became even more complicated. The ailment that had been causing him so much pain was something Shi Miao could easily resolve.
The gap between the golden elixir and the original body is so huge.
Five minutes later, the symptoms caused by the hook had disappeared completely.
Before Zuo Haoran could be happy, he suddenly felt a powerful force rushing through his body.
He realized that it was the restless dragon vein trying to leave his body.
No! He would never allow it! If the dragon vein separated from him at this moment, the backlash he would encounter would be something he couldn't afford.
He forcibly activated his skills, trying to suppress it, but compared to the power of the dragon vein, his magic power was like a drop in the bucket.
