'Amazing!'
'The awaited prompt to alter the storyline has finally arrived.'
'It has straightforwardly deducted two thousand points from Fang Yuan's Heavenly Fate Value!'
'In return, I've accumulated a staggering four thousand points of Villain Value. Isn't this yield overly abundant?'
A wave of astonishment rippled through Jiang Chen's body, his eyes flickering with an unmissable glimmer of joy.
However, this turn of events was within the realm of expectation.
After all, the narrative involving Fang Yuan's rescue of Ji Ruxue was integral to his progression.
Yet, in this moment, even the opportunity to intervene had been seized by Jiang Chen!
Without this pivotal moment, how could he possibly fortify his bond with Ji Ruxue?
Until this point, in Ji Ruxue's perception, he barely surpassed a stranger.
On the contrary, Jiang Chen had successfully established a connection with Ji Ruxue, and was now poised to don the role of a knight rescuing the damsel in distress.
Given this stark disparity in their journeys, it would become an even steeper challenge for Fang Yuan to gain Ji Ruxue's favor!
'Perfect!'
'Upon successfully courting Ji Ruxue, the Heavenly Fate Value of Fang Yuan is destined to take a nosedive!'
A sly grin tugged at the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth.
Following this, he channeled his Yuan Power, disappearing without leaving behind a single trace outside Fang Yuan's cave mansion.
He did not instantly set out to find Ji Mingxiu.
Instead, he prudently distanced himself by ten thousand kilometers from Ji Mingxiu's palace cluster before revealing his presence, a visage of surprise and urgency etched on his countenance as he swiftly made his return to the Purple Heaven Holy Land!
With a resounding boom!
Jiang Chen morphed into a radiant streak of light, slicing through the atmosphere, leaving behind a succession of vortex-like detonations and wisps of white mist.
He surged ahead as though gliding through the heavens.
The colossal uproar also caught the attention of numerous individuals.
"Look swiftly! That's Senior Brother Jiang Chen!"
"Senior Brother Jiang Chen's flight speed is breathtaking, it mirrors the velocity of someone at the Inquiring Journey realm, truly formidable!"
"Why is Senior Brother Jiang Chen in such a rush, he didn't even attempt to conceal his maneuvers."
"I'm not sure, but it surely signifies some sort of urgency. Observe, the direction Senior Brother Jiang Chen is progressing towards is precisely where the Holy Lord engages in his cultivation!"
"..."
The crowd spectated as Jiang Chen departed, their gazes filled with awe and reverence.
Simultaneously, within Ji Mingxiu's palace cluster, Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing found themselves positioned atop a massive formation platform.
The formation platform possessed a potent sealing capability, capable of thwarting Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing from activating their Yuan Power.
To a certain degree, this slowed the rate at which the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi continued to corrupt them.
This was the only technique that the Purple Heaven Holy Land had managed to devise over the years to restrain the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, yet its effectiveness was subpar at best, only marginally superior to having no solution at all.
Beside the formation platform, Ji Mingxiu and Xie Zhen, along with the four Supreme Elders at the Dao Palace realm, sat in quiet contemplation.
Periodically, Mo Yu and the other three Supreme Elders would glance towards Ji Mingxiu and Xie Zhen.
They all deemed these two to be incredibly audacious for placing their entirety of hope on Jiang Chen.
However, as Ji Mingxiu was insistent on this approach, they were left with no alternatives.
Eventually, they resigned to abandoning any attempts at persuasion, choosing instead to remain in silent support at their side.
"Sigh."
"Why hasn't Jiang Chen returned yet?"
"Could it be possible that the lad has fled out of fear of facing potential repercussions?"
A note of skepticism laced the words of one of the Supreme Elders, causing the space between his eyebrows to crease.
Admittedly, this was indeed a plausible scenario.
Perhaps being swayed by Fang Yuan's Heavenly Fate Value, doubts regarding Jiang Chen's intentions began to creep into Mo Yu and his group's minds, subtly altering their initial impressions of him.
However, just at this critical juncture!
"Jiang Chen has returned, he's indeed back!"
"He's rushing towards us!"
Ji Mingxiu abruptly rose to his feet, his face alight with pure ecstasy, "It seems he has procured a solution from those two elders!"
Having surpassed his mentors and excelling beyond them, his strength was somewhat superior to the four Supreme Elders.
Consequently, he was the first to spot Jiang Chen soaring towards them.
"What!?"
"Little Jiang Chen has returned! This is splendid news!"
"Regardless of whether he has secured an effective remedy or not, his courage to face this dire situation and willingness to shoulder the responsibility is truly laudable."
"Indeed! However, in my perspective, I suspect he really has procured an effective method. Just observe his countenance, he's practically radiating joy!"
"..."
All those present, barring Xie Zhen who was still at the Dao Comprehension realm, also spotted Jiang Chen's figure, his facial expressions clearly visible to them.
Seeing Jiang Chen's euphoric and urgent grin, they felt as if they were ensnared in a dreamlike state.
With Jiang Chen appearing so jubilant, it could only mean that he had procured a cure.
This technique, for countless millennia across the entire Immortal Martial Continent, despite successive generations of formidable individuals, none had been able to devise such a solution.
But now, Jiang Chen was rushing towards them with that very cure!
This implied that Jiang Chen would not only be able to heal Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing, but his discovery could have an extraordinarily substantial impact on the evolution of the Purple Heaven Holy Land!
One must remember that Red Maple Heavenly Valley had undergone a mutation.
Other locations had also witnessed changes, albeit not as catastrophic as the Red Maple Heavenly Valley.
With danger lurking at every corner, it was uncertain when the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi might erupt from the mountain gate of the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
By then, if they failed to counteract the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, the Purple Heaven Holy Land would inevitably find itself in a perilous situation.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Commence the treatment immediately!"
Ji Mingxiu's anxiety was palpable.
Xie Zhen, at his side, remained silent, yet his eyes mirrored the same restless anticipation.
"I require specific materials!"
Jiang Chen nodded, "The requisite materials are the Returning Profound Grass, the Connecting Heaven Flower, the Origin Gathering Vine, the Condensing Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng..."
"We have all of them!"
"Here is the pill furnace!"
"These are the pill refining materials you requested!"
Ji Mingxiu, Xie Zhen, Mo Yu, and the other three Supreme Elders each produced items in turn, and in no time at all, they had amassed all the materials that Jiang Chen needed.
"I don't require the pill furnace..."
Jiang Chen promptly collected those natural treasures and swiftly moved to Ji Ruxue's side, "First, deactivate the formation!"
"Understood!"
Jiang Chen's instruction was instantly heeded by Ji Mingxiu.
The very next instant, Jiang Chen placed a spiritual plant known as the 'Condensing Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng' on Ji Ruxue's dantian.
Then, he positioned his hand on her forehead and began to execute the Nether Qi Extraction Secrets.
The Dao Yuan Power coursing within Jiang Chen's body surged intensely, progressively influencing the Yuan Power within Ji Ruxue.
Rapidly!
The manner and rhythm of Yuan Power circulation within both of them synchronized.
Throughout this procedure, Jiang Chen's Yuan Power was subtly diffusing into Ji Ruxue's body, merging with her Yuan Power.
Almost immediately, a peculiar suction force radiated from Ji Ruxue's dantian, acting upon the Condensing Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng.
An unusual medicinal property started to seep from the Condensing Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng.
Normally, during the refining of the Condensing Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng into pills, this kind of medicinal property would be discarded as impurities.
However, in this particular scenario, this distinct medicinal property was exactly what was needed.
Gradually, the unusual medicinal essence of the Condensing Lesser Sun Azure Ginseng penetrated Ji Ruxue's body.
Jiang Chen quickly switched to the other materials, persistently maintaining the operation of the Nether Qi Extraction Secrets.
However, every time he transitioned to a different material, he would modify the incantation of the secret art.
By the time all the materials had been utilized once.
An hour had already elapsed.
'Amazing!'
'The awaited prompt to alter the storyline has finally arrived.'
'It has straightforwardly deducted two thousand points from Fang Yuan's Heavenly Fate Value!'
