Wait a minute, where is my master?

"In the depths of the Sea of Consciousness of the three people, I saw a face, and the look in that face's eyes was exactly like that of the female auctioneer, so I suspect that person might be the earliest encountered incarnation of a Demon Sect disciple."

Jin Xu raised his hand and gently touched his chin, his expression one of contemplation.

As his Spiritual Sense spread, he then heard Xia Xuanmin's transmission to Prime Minister Qin.

"Make sure to remind the Taoist, we want to know whether these three people can still be saved. As for who is behind this, it won't be too late to find out after we've rescued them!"

The young Taoist was startled when he heard this transmission, realizing that he had indeed neglected the most important matter at hand because of his curiosity...

He glanced surreptitiously at the unperturbed Xia Xuanmin, then heard the Prime Minister speak.

"Ahem, may I interject. Taoist, right now we're not interested in who this Demon Sect disciple is, but whether these three can still be saved."

Prime Minister Qin cleared his throat, summarizing Emperor Min's words.

"I don't know, but I can try."

Jin Xu answered very honestly, having realized after the Age Chicken incident that his "Body Purification Skill" was not omnipotent. Unlike his "Hand Palm Thunder," which seemed to purify everything.

Upon hearing the young Taoist say this, everyone's gaze warmed towards him, especially Kui Lei and the others. Nobody wanted their years of hard cultivation to end up turning into someone else.

"Since young friend has some confidence, please give it a try."

Xia Xuanmin finally couldn't hold back and spoke out.

Jin Xu calmly nodded, then asked Prime Minister Qin to arrange a room for him.

The young Taoist had used the "Body Purification Skill" so many times that he was acutely aware of where the side effects of this magic lay. Thus, if he wanted to use this skill to help someone remove the Spiritual Seed, it would be better not done in front of an audience.

The Prime Minister quickly found a room for Jin Xu in the Prison, leading a Deputy Commander of the Void Refinement Realm inside, while the rest were kept outside the room.

Inside the room.

The Deputy Commander of the Void Refinement Realm looked fearful yet hopeful, staring at the mask of Jin Xu as he said.

"Taoist, thank you for your trouble."

The young Taoist replied softly, "I'll try my best, but there might be some unusual sensations in a while, so try to bear with them."

Upon hearing this, the Void Refinement Realm cultivator obediently nodded, then saw a streak of white light flash across Jin Xu's left hand, pressing directly onto his forehead.

"Sss!!!!!"

The consciousness of the Void Refinement Realm Deputy Commander immediately fell into unconsciousness.

Outside the room.

Yu Yaoer and Xia Yunzhao, among others, waited quietly. They had all experienced the young Taoist's strange "Body Purification Skill," so they were prepared to hear odd sounds.

However, after waiting for a long while, there was no movement from inside the room.

Just as Yu Yaoer was about to let her curiosity get the better of her and persuade Little White to check, the door suddenly opened, and Jin Xu emerged, carrying the Void Refinement Realm Deputy Commander.

Looking at the Deputy Commander now, he appeared limp, with foam at the corners of his mouth, and his face bore a strange smile.

Everyone was shocked at this sight.

Prime Minister Qin couldn't contain himself and asked bluntly, "Taoist, is this... cured, or have you... "

He actually wanted to ask whether he had cured the person or killed him, but remembering the Golden Thunderbolt that had shaken Shangjing City from the sky, he held back his words.

"It should be cured, I can no longer see that seed in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness."

Jin Xu's voice was gentle as he laid the man down on the floor.

He had already used his Spiritual Eyes with the Perceive Truth ability, and the man's Sea of Consciousness was now spotlessly clean, devoid of anything.

As to why the man looked like this, he wasn't too sure, as he had never before used the "Body Purification Skill" directly on someone's Sea of Consciousness.

Well, perhaps the side effects were a bit severe.

"Ahem, thank you, young friend."

Xia Xuanmin looked peculiar as he expressed his thanks. However, his Dongxuan Spirit Vision was not able to see the Spiritual Seed within someone's Sea of Consciousness like Jin Xu could, so... he could only wait for this person to wake up to be certain of any improvement.

He didn't bother with the crowd's odd expressions.

Standing at the doorway, the little Taoist priest looked through his mask at the remaining two people with his deep eyes and calmly asked, "Now, which one of you two will come next?"

At his words, Kui Lei couldn't help shivering.

The Deputy Commander of the Void Refinement Realm wasn't faring much better.

After all, no one on the scene could prove that Jin Xu had truly healed anyone, and his colleague had still looked the same after coming out!!!

In the end, the person who chose to enter the room with the little Taoist was Deputy Commander Kui.

Kui Lei stepped forward voluntarily for a simple reason; she felt that if she were the last one, and the second person to enter the room with Jin Xu still came out looking the same, she wouldn't have the courage to go in herself!

So, while she still had the courage, she decided to go first.

Inside the room.

Kui Lei looked at the little Taoist in front of her with a trace of fear.

Seeing her like this, Jin Xu couldn't help touching the mask on his own face and muttered, "Perhaps this No-Face mask is too frightening; it looks like I need to change to a different one when I have the time."

Seeing the little Taoist only touch his mask and not start, Deputy Commander Kui tentatively said, "Taoist, is there anything I need to do to assist?"

Hearing this, Jin Xu shook his head, then reached out and took off his mask.

He spoke softly, "My magic will enter your Sea of Consciousness shortly. You may feel some discomfort during the process, but please try to endure. I will make it as quick as possible."

On the other side, Kui Lei was initially surprised to see the little Taoist remove his mask and had no time to marvel at how handsome the elder before her was.

She then felt a dot of white light on her forehead.

"Ah~~Hmm~!!!"

True to her status as a fifth-level expert in the Divinity Transformation Realm, Kui Lei did not lose consciousness immediately under the assault of the Body Purification Skill. Instead, after uttering two sharp cries, she passed out.

Jin Xu withdrew his left hand, looking down at the collapsed Kui Lei at his feet with a slight frown. He had already tried to make it as quick as possible; why did she still cry out?

"..."

Closing and opening his eyes, a silver light flashed within, and after observing her with the Perceive Truth ability of the Spiritual Eyes, he found the seed within her Sea of Consciousness had vanished.

He then confidently picked up the limp Kui Lei and walked out of the room.

...

Outside the room.

The Deputy Commander, who had previously passed out, had been physically revived by Prime Minister Qin.

He was now telling everyone about the memories that had been concealed from him.

"It must have been about ninety years ago when I was attacked by a woman during an exploration of a secret realm. She put something in my forehead. Since then, I've been missing that piece of memory. It was only after the little Taoist... after he just treated me that I suddenly remembered this event."

The Deputy Commander of the Void Refinement Realm looked somewhat traumatized, and it was unclear whether he was more frightened by his experience from ninety years ago or by the recent event in the room.

After hearing his recounting, the Seventh Princess and Prime Minister Qin were finally convinced that the little Taoist had indeed cured the man.

Xia Xuanmin was even more amazed. He understood this Demon Skill too well. Those who had become avatars were beyond salvation in the past; he never expected that today, they would be saved by Jin Xu, the little Taoist.

As for Yu Yaoer and Little White, they wore expressions as if to say, "Look at you all, acting like you've never seen anything like this before." My temple master/master, he's truly formidable!

Just as Emperor Min and Prime Minister Qin were discussing whether or not to ask Jin Xu, the little Taoist, to conduct a large-scale examination for the Great Xia Dynasty court.

From the quiet room on the side, suddenly a high-pitched and melodious female voice was heard!

This immediately quieted everyone down.

Yu Yaoer and Xia Yunzhao knew what was happening, so they silently lowered their heads, while Shiqi looked excited.

Xia Xuanmin and Prime Minister Qin exchanged glances, not understanding what was going on.

Then, the door to the room was opened again, and the little Taoist threw out Kui Lei, who had a flush on her face and was not fully conscious. He calmly said,

"Next one."
