After the treatment was completed and the pressure disappeared, Xiao Leng felt a warm current flowing through her dantian, which felt full and the sieve-like feeling of air leakage had miraculously disappeared!
He quickly examined himself and was pleasantly surprised to find that his dantian was indeed complete! Although it still looked somewhat fragile, it was definitely a complete dantian!
The fact that his dantian had actually been reshaped was a source of great joy, but then he began to doubt whether he was dreaming. For a long time, he stood there in a daze, expressionless.
The onlookers were unsure what was going on. Had they been fooled by this scammer?
After a while, he seemed to suddenly wake up from a dream and realize that he was really healed. Such a big man couldn't help but have tears welling up in his eyes.
No one knows how difficult his journey was.
He had never shed a tear, even in the most desperate times, but he couldn't hold back his tears at this moment of hope and hope.
Shi Xuan waited until he calmed down before speaking, "Try to channel your spiritual energy to your fingertips. Take it slowly, don't force it."
Xiao Leng tilted his head back, took two deep breaths, and then concentrated on circulating his spiritual energy. A short while later, a faint, pale blue light appeared at his fingertips.
The blue light was extremely weak and flickering, as if it could be extinguished at any moment, but it was indeed the spiritual power gathered by Xiao Leng!
"Oh My God!"
"Is this true? You all saw that he can use spiritual power, right?"
"Could it be that we are truly ignorant and inexperienced? It's not that damage to the dantian is incurable, but rather that we haven't encountered someone capable of doing so!"
...
Seeing that he could now use his spiritual power slightly, Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Leng was a little reluctant to see Shi Xuan pack up to leave. He looked at Shi Xuan and asked, "Will you come again tomorrow?"
“I won’t be coming tomorrow,” Shi Xuan replied, as she had to participate in the sect’s preliminary exam the next day.
"This is a bottle of Strengthening Pills. Take one every day, and you can start cultivating normally after seven days. Be careful not to overdo it in the early stages of cultivation," Shi Xuan handed him a porcelain bottle and said, "The broken meridians have been mostly repaired along with the dantian. After that, you can repair them yourself by circulating spiritual energy when you can cultivate normally."
Xiao Leng nodded repeatedly.
Shi Xuan handed him a communication jade pendant, saying, "Take this. You can only use it when you need to repay the money, understand?"
"I know," Xiao Leng solemnly accepted it, then suddenly remembered something and turned to Wang Laosan, saying, "Third Brother, I'm really all better!"
He spoke with an excitement of having escaped a desperate situation, and his hand holding the communication jade was trembling slightly.
Wang Laosan was equally shocked. Even now, he still couldn't believe that someone could repair his damaged dantian, but the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.
Wang Laosan carefully examined Xiao Leng's appearance, then reached out and took out the bronze token, tossing it to Shi Xuan. He said, "I, Wang Laosan, always keep my word. This token is now yours. But you also said that Xiao Leng has seven days left to recover. The remaining amount will be given to you after seven days if Xiao Leng is truly healed. If his improvement is only temporary, I, Wang Laosan, will search the entire Qian Yuan Continent to find you!"
Actually, it's possible to check the results immediately, but that would require using one's divine sense to examine Xiao Leng's dantian. However, people who don't trust each other to a certain extent wouldn't choose to do that. Wang Laosan and Xiao Leng are just friends they met in the black market, and seven days isn't an insurmountable time.
“Okay,” Shi Xuan said nonchalantly, “You wait here, I’m leaving now.” Having taken the token, Shi Xuan didn’t really care about the rest of the things. She would keep them if they were delivered, and it wouldn’t matter if they ran away.
She still signed up for the competition today, and her opponent was Bao Yan, who was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Just before her turn to appear, Shi Xuan went to the betting counter to check her odds and discovered that most people were betting on her! Her odds had plummeted to an abysmal level, and the returns from betting on her were nowhere near what they had been in the previous two days.
It's easy to imagine that after defeating opponents with higher cultivation levels in the past two days, this time she encountered someone of the same level. Even if her victory was just due to luck, it's enough to make people believe in her luck.
When the monk at the betting station saw it was her, he joked, "You're really getting a lot of face today."
Shi Xuan glanced at the odds again and asked, "I think we've gone a bit too far with the face-saving today. Can I bet some of my own money on losing?"
“Haha, you’ve hit the nail on the head,” the monk replied. “You can bet, but you can’t cash out.”
Then we still can't bet on it.
She knew it. If she could bet on herself to lose, log in every day and admit defeat, and still make a profit, then winning money would be too easy.
Let's forget about it then. I won't bet today. Let others make some money too.
Explosive Flame was a magic cultivator, making it rather inconvenient to use him to refine the Sacred Bone Technique. Thus, this duel became the shortest in Round Face's history of competition.
And the fight ended in an extremely bizarre way—the round-faced man tripped and fell, and the spirit sword flew out and pierced through his opponent…
This was the first time Shi Xuan had heard cheers from the sidelines when he won; it seemed that only spirit stones could receive cheers.

Early the next morning, the kendo disciples gathered at the sword-meeting platform to prepare for their first mini-test.
Although it was a minor test, the sect attached great importance to it. Not only Elder Li, who taught the basic sword techniques, but also all the peak masters and elders of the other peaks participated, including the sect master of the main peak.
With so many teachers and mentors present, Xiang Rong became nervous as soon as he entered the sword-fighting platform.
Nervousness made her talk more, "Shi Xuan, why is even the sect leader here? If he sees that I didn't perform well, he won't expel me from the sect, will he?"
She wasn't actually asking questions; she was just talking to herself to ease her tension.
"I really offended Dong Jingwei the day before yesterday. If I face him today, do you think he'll skewer me like a string of candied hawthorns with one sword?"
"No." Shi Xuan gave her an unexpected response.
Xiang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying, "Really?"
Shi Xuan nodded, "Yes, because they can only be skewered into human meat skewers, not into candied hawthorn skewers."
Xiang Rong: ...
"I was already so nervous, and you still scared me!"
Shi Xuan said casually, "Cheer up, sword cultivators have nothing to fear."
Xiang Rong looked at her with a resentful gaze, "Your comforting words are so half-hearted, I can't feel your sincerity."
"Yes, your intuition is very accurate," Shi Xuan said, expressing high praise for her.
Xiang Rong: ...
After being fooled by Shi Xuan's joking remarks, Xiang Rong was actually not so nervous anymore.
The opponents for the preliminary tests were determined by drawing lots. Elder Li divided the disciples into two groups, one group holding assigned numbers, and the other group drawing lots. Those who drew the same number would be opponents.
Xiang Rong's first opponent was Dong Jingwei. Upon seeing this result, her face, which had just begun to recover, immediately darkened.
Shi Xuan's first opponent was Wang Haoyan from Qingdai Peak, a "bottom five" player who was always worried about cleaning.
Xiang Rong lamented the unfairness of fate, why couldn't she have switched places with Shi Xuan! She could still beat Wang Haoyan!
