"This matter is rather complicated... How about we deal with those Immortals first and talk about it in detail later?"
Facing Haoyue Fairy’s question, Fang Bai replied with a smile, then pointed to Fairy Zhuyuan and Fairy Lingyan outside the Defensive Array.
"Deal with them?"
Haoyue Fairy was stunned, then smiled bitterly, "My Immortal Qi is chaotic within my body, unable to circulate any Immortal Qi, and I can’t perform any secret techniques. I’m definitely no match for them! Alas, I’ve been terribly betrayed by that disciple! If I can escape this ti, I must personally set things right!"
She glared at Fairy Lingyan, who was attacking the Defensive Array alongside the Three Immortals of the Bamboo Garden, with a murderous look in her eyes.
Unfortunately, she was too weak to leave the Defense Array, as it would an her own demise.
Qingzhu Fairy glanced at Fang Bai, and seeing him nod, she said, "Master, Fang Bai said earlier that he can help you resolve the chaotic Golden Immortal Qi within your body..."
Haoyue Fairy’s eyes suddenly brightened, blurting out, "Really?"
She had been deceived by her eldest disciple, Fairy Lingyan, into swallowing the Creation Pill, causing a rampant strand of Golden Immortal Qi in her Qi Sea.
Among the five elents, gold dominates wood.
The rampant Golden Immortal Qi threw her original Wood Immortal Qi into chaos, preventing her from circulating Immortal Law and secret techniques. Otherwise, even if the Three Immortals of the Bamboo Garden joined forces, what would she have to fear?
If Fang Bai could truly help her resolve that strand of Golden Immortal Qi, she could rest for a bit, restore her strength, and reverse the current unfavorable situation.
"Take this, then circulate your Immortal Law to rest. Within a hundred breaths, the Golden Immortal Qi in your body will be counteracted by the Fire Immortal Qi, and your strength will recover."
Fang Bai extended his left hand, revealing a blood-red lotus seed emitting dazzling red light in his palm.
"This... is it the seed of the Furious Fla Blood Lotus?"
Haoyue Fairy looked at the blood lotus seed in Fang Bai’s palm, astonished and delighted.
"You recognize the Furious Fla Blood Lotus?"
Fang Bai asked curiously.
Such a treasure as the Furious Fla Blood Lotus is extrely scarce in the Immortal Realm, and those fortunate enough to see it are indeed few. Fang Bai hadn’t expected Haoyue Fairy to recognize it.
Haoyue Fairy shook her head, "I haven’t seen it, but before the passing of my master, Fairy Linglong, I heard her speak of it... So I have so knowledge of the Furious Fla Blood Lotus."
Fang Bai understood, "I see."
He rembered that in his previous life, he had luckily obtained an entire Furious Fla Blood Lotus and had shown it to several friends, including Fairy Linglong. Since Haoyue Fairy was a disciple of Fairy Linglong, it wasn’t surprising she knew of it.
The Furious Fla Blood Lotus contains pure and intense Fire Immortal Qi, and since fire counters gold, after Haoyue Fairy consus its seed, the generated strand of Fire Immortal Qi can just offset that strand of Golden Immortal Qi.
Haoyue Fairy clearly understood this, and thus felt incredibly excited.
Knowing ti was pressing and without room for hesitation, she didn’t hold back and swallowed the blood lotus seed whole, then sat cross-legged on the ground.
Once the blood lotus seed transford into Fire Spirit Energy and surged into her Qi Sea, she began circulating her Immortal Law, guiding her internal Immortal Qi into wild motion.
Within her, the opposing Fire and Gold Immortal Qi clashed continuously, refusing to relent, each trying to overpower the other.
Qingzhu Fairy watched as her master’s body trembled unceasingly, drenched in sweat, her face twisted in pain, her features contorted with agony, feeling deeply disturbed.
"Don’t worry,"
Fang Bai transmitted a voice to Qingzhu Fairy, "Your master now has two excess streams of Immortal Qi in her body clashing, naturally enduring so tornt. When the two streams of Immortal Qi dissipate, she will be free from this pain."
He paused, intently regarding Haoyue Fairy, continuing the transmission to Qingzhu Fairy, "Actually, this ordeal might be beneficial for your master."
Qingzhu Fairy looked at Fang Bai strangely, seemingly not understanding his aning.
Fang Bai explained, "Your master’s cultivation level has remained in the third stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm for over a hundred years now, hasn’t it? Well, if fortune favors her, she might experience a breakthrough after this."
Qingzhu Fairy’s mouth sowhat agape, responded via Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, "You an... my master might turn misfortune into a blessing, advancing to the fourth stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"
Fang Bai replied, "It’s hard to say now! But there’s hope... Let’s just watch and see!"
Qingzhu Fairy clasped her hands together in silent prayer for her master, thinking if it truly goes as Fang Bai says, and her master safely survives this ordeal while advancing, Fang Bai would beco the benefactor of Jade Bamboo Mountain, respected by all its Immortals.
Outside the Defense Array, the attacks from the Three Immortals of the Bamboo Garden and Fairy Lingyan grew fiercer, shaking the Immortal Qi Barrier harder.
Qingzhu Fairy felt uneasy, worrying that the Defense Array wouldn’t hold for a thousand breaths and glanced at Fang Bai again.
After previous events, she regarded Fang Bai as the pillar of strength, finding solace as long as Fang Bai appeared calm and composed.
Previously, after receiving a ssage from Qingzhu Fairy’s Jade Pendant, Fang Bai had secretly arrived at Jade Bamboo Mountain. During the battle between Haoyue Fairy and the Three Immortals of the Bamboo Garden, he concealed his own presence, easily breaking through the Defense Array before sneaking inside and eting Qingzhu Fairy.
Having observed the fight montarily with Qingzhu Fairy, Fang Bai devised a thod to rescue Haoyue Fairy, leading to Qingzhu Fairy rushing out of the Defense Array, forcibly bringing her master back.
Otherwise, Haoyue Fairy might have fallen by now.
As Fang Bai had said, after a hundred breaths, the Golden and Fire Immortal Qi vanished simultaneously from Haoyue Fairy’s body, with her painful expression replaced by relief and tranquility, as if entering a mystical Cultivation State.
Seeing this, Qingzhu Fairy knew her master was safe and looked at Fang Bai gratefully.
"The Defense Array is about to be breached..."
A thousand breaths passed, and Haoyue Fairy had yet to erge from her Cultivation State, with the Defense Array nearing collapse. Qingzhu Fairy felt a chill, positioning herself before her master in high alert, assuming a defensive stance, ready to fight to the death if the array broke.
"Boom!"
With a resounding crash, the Defense Array surrounding the bamboo tower atop Jade Bamboo Mountain was finally shattered by the combined assault of the Four Immortals of the Bamboo Garden and Fairy Lingyan.
Qingzhu Fairy tightened her grip on the Bamboo Flute, lightning glinting her eyes, her entire being tense like a drawn bow, ready to attack at any mont.
"Your master is about to advance, we must retreat!"
Fang Bai abruptly acted, grasping the bewildered Qingzhu Fairy’s arm, leading her to soar into the sky, instantly reaching a thousand-zhang elevation.
Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from Haoyue Fairy, transforming into shockwaves sweeping outward in all directions.
