"Boom!"

No one knew how much time had passed before the blood-red surface of the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool suddenly erupted like a bomb had been dropped.

A pillar of crimson water, dozens of meters high, surged into the sky.

As the blood-colored droplets rained down, three figures lightly tapped the air and abruptly appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Although Lin Feng and Feng Qing'er had just advanced to the Dou Zong level and had already stabilized their cultivation...

Over the past few days, the two had been occupied with various matters and hadn't had the chance to fully familiarize themselves with their newfound strength.

As a result, the majestic pressure that unconsciously leaked from their bodies swept through the surroundings—causing all the magic beasts dwelling around the Heavenly Eye Mountains, as well as the weaker Gold Swallowing Mouse, to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

"Dou Zong experts!"

Sensing the overwhelming might of the aura, all around the Heavenly Eye Mountain Range, even some Rank 6 magic beasts...gazed up at the figures in the sky with reverence and awe in their eyes.

At that moment, Jin Shi, who had been handling affairs in a nearby chamber, suddenly vanished from where he stood upon sensing their arrival.

"Hehe, congratulations to Master Lin Feng and Miss Feng on your successful advancement to Dou Zong."

The next instant, Jin Shi reappeared mid-air not far from Lin Feng's group and cupped his hands in salute.

His narrow eyes, upon seeing Lin Feng holding hands with one of the women, flashed briefly with a hint of envy.

Snatching up the future heir of Wind Lightning Pavilion? That saved him hundreds of years of effort!

What's more, the other white-robed woman was just as stunning—regardless of her background, she was in no way inferior.

Such fortune with beauties... truly jealousy-inducing.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the help of the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool," Lin Feng smiled, letting go of the two girls before immediately getting to the point. "Patriarch Jin Shi, would you be able to prepare a quiet secret chamber for me?"

Hearing this, Jin Shi quickly cupped his hands again and replied, "Of course, there is a peaceful and sturdy chamber in the nearby mountainside. It should suit your needs."

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way," Lin Feng said without hesitation.

The pill he had given Feng Qing'er earlier was only a low-grade seventh-tier one—it wouldn't be able to suppress her fire poison for long.

He had to find a way to completely purge it as soon as possible.

"This way, please."

Seeing Lin Feng's urgency, Jin Shi didn't waste another word and turned to fly toward a nearby mountain peak.

Seeing this, Lin Feng tossed out a snow-white spatial ring and took Feng Qing'er by the hand, following closely behind Jin Shi.

After all, the treatment for the fire poison might require... facing each other unclothed.

There was no way he would let that old man, Tian Huo Zun Zhe, lay eyes on his future wife's delicate body.

"Tch... this brat has no respect for his elders—treating me so rudely!"

Grumbling in the spatial ring as he was tossed away, Tian Huo Zun Zhe couldn't help but complain about Lin Feng's impudence.

After a moment of boredom, he took control of the ring and flew into the depths of the Heavenly Eye Mountain Range.

This region was rich in medicinal herbs, and he hoped he might get lucky and find the ingredients needed for a Bone-Melting Blood Fusing Pill.

Inside a secret chamber carved into the mountainside—Lin Feng was currently holding Feng Qing'er's fair hand, his soul power continuously probing through it.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, frowning as he said, "The fire poison has entrenched itself deep in your mind—it's taken root. To remove it completely, I'll need to suppress it with medicinal liquid first, and then slowly scrape it away using my Heavenly Flame."

"Then do as you say."

Feng Qing'er softly exhaled, her tone helpless.

She had been reckless during her time beneath the Blood Pool—this was the result of her own carelessness.

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Feng nodded and continued, "Do you have any Rank 7 ice-attributed Magic Cores? I need to prepare a medicinal solution for you to soak in to suppress the poison for now. And... I just happen to be out of them."

Hearing this, Feng Qing'er closed her beautiful eyes, and with a flicker of light—a faint blue jade box, roughly the size of a human head, appeared in her palm.

"This magic core should meet your requirements."

As she spoke, Feng Qing'er extended her hand and passed it to Lin Feng.

The moment he received it and opened the jade box, a wave of icy cold air instantly filled the entire secret chamber.

"This magic core… even among Rank 7 ones, it must be top-tier."

Staring at the cold energy emanating from the core, Lin Feng murmured to himself.

Without hesitation, he summoned the familiar mutton-fat jade bathing tub he often used for body tempering.

Then, he tossed the magic core into the air. A stream of cyan flame surged forth, wrapping around the core and roasting it.

Since Lin Feng didn't fully trust Feng Qing'er yet, he chose to use the Green Lotus Core Flame—which had already been exposed—instead of the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame.

Once the medicinal liquid was prepared, Lin Feng motioned for Feng Qing'er to undress and enter the tub.

Surprisingly, she didn't hesitate. It was as if she had resigned herself to fate—she stripped right in front of Lin Feng and stepped into the tub.

Given the urgency of the situation, Lin Feng didn't linger. He turned and walked outside to refine a batch of Heavenly Glory Pill again.

Since he had already refined it once before, there were no surprises—it was a success on the first try.

Inside a secret chamber at the peak of a mountain, at its very center, sat a bath carved from mutton-fat jade.

Within it, Feng Qing'er sat cross-legged.

The frigid medicinal liquid had risen to her shoulders, submerging her body. Only her slender jade-like neck and delicate face remained above the surface.

Since she couldn't use Dou Qi to resist the cold, even as a Dou Zong-level expert, her lithe body trembled slightly from the chill.

"Here. Swallow this."

Holding the Heavenly Glory Pill between his fingers, Lin Feng approached and gently pressed it to her soft lips.

Feng Qing'er opened her violet-brown eyes and glanced at him. Without a word, she slightly parted her cherry lips and swallowed the pill.

The moment the medicine entered her system, an even colder energy suddenly surged from within, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

Seeing that she had consumed the pill, Lin Feng immediately summoned his Heavenly Flame and warned, "The process of expelling the fire poison might be painful. Bear with it."

"Do it."

Feng Qing'er's crisp voice echoed softly in the chamber. It had lost a bit of its usual cold edge. As she spoke, she closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Feng gently pressed his palm against her back.

The cyan flame slithered out and slipped into her body through the pores on her back.

"Chii chii—"

The moment the Heavenly Flame entered, sharp hissing sounds echoed from within her.

Feng Qing'er's body trembled violently. Her silver teeth clenched, and gasps of pain escaped her lips as she sucked in sharp breaths.

Clearly, the pain of the Heavenly Flame expelling the fire poison was intense—far more than ordinary endurance could handle.

As the Green Lotus Core Flame continued to burn within her, more and more grayish-black mist began to seep out of her body.

Fortunately, the flame guarded the outside, incinerating the expelled poison instantly, preventing it from falling back into the tub and reentering her body.

The process of cleansing her of fire poison lasted for a full day before it finally ceased.

Lin Feng looked at Feng Qing'er's eyes—where once there were faint red streaks, now they had faded significantly. He spoke in a soft voice, "A large portion of the fire poison in your body has been expelled. At this rate, after a few more sessions like this using Heavenly Flame, we should be able to completely cleanse it."

"…I understand."

Feng Qing'er nodded gently. A trace of complexity flickered in her violet-brown eyes as she looked at him.

This man—the one who had taken her first time—still left her with a mixture of tangled emotions.

Biting her lip lightly, Feng Qing'er suddenly said, "About what happened between us under the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool… you're not allowed to tell anyone. Got it?"
