The Bone Corrosion Talisman is a unique secret technique of the Xuanming Sect, its eerie nature sending chills down one’s spine.
Once this talisman is applied to a person, it becomes as difficult to remove as a festering sore.
If the one who casts the talisman possesses profound power, its potency increases exponentially, making it nearly impossible to dispel.
Daoist Xuanji furrowed his brow slightly and, after a moment of contemplation, slowly spoke, “This Bone Corrosion Talisman is indeed quite troublesome. It would not be easy for me to break it with my abilities.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu and Su Mu's faces turned pale instantly, their hearts sinking into an abyss of despair.
At that moment, Ye Qiu felt the corrosive force of the talisman gnawing at her body, the pain penetrating her very bones and intensifying with each passing moment.
Every pang felt like countless venomous insects devouring her flesh, making it nearly unbearable.
Yet, despite the excruciating agony, Ye Qiu gritted her teeth, refusing to cry out.
Beside her, Su Mu was frantic with worry. She tightly grasped Ye Qiu's hand and asked anxiously, “Master, is there truly no way to dispel this terrifying Bone Corrosion Talisman?”
Daoist Xuanji gently stroked his long beard in thought and nodded slightly. “There are methods available, but…” He suddenly paused, his gaze shifting to Ye Qiu.
In his eyes were both compassion and concern.
Taking a deep breath, he continued, “This method requires enduring immense pain and may even endanger your life.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu unhesitatingly lifted her head and looked firmly at Daoist Xuanji. “As long as I can survive, I am willing to endure any pain! Even if there is only a slim chance of survival, I will fight with all my might for it.
Because I not only want to live for myself but also for my comrades who fight alongside me and for the justice in my heart!
So please, Master, tell me what I need to do.”
At that moment, determination shone brightly in Ye Qiu's eyes; she was fully prepared to face immense suffering and was resolved not to fall easily.
Daoist Xuanji nodded slightly, indicating his approval, and a subtle glimmer of appreciation flickered in the depths of his eyes.
"Yes, not bad. With such unwavering determination, there may still be a glimmer of hope for survival.
You must understand, the Bone-Eroding Talisman is extremely poisonous. To completely expel it from your body, you can only use poison to combat poison, relying on an even more powerful force to achieve this."
With that, he turned and walked toward the old medicine cabinet behind him. With gentle and practiced movements, he retrieved an antique wooden box.
As the lid was slowly lifted, a chilling black light suddenly filled everyone's vision—inside the box lay a peculiar pill that was entirely black as ink, devoid of any sheen.
The moment the pill appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be tainted by its pungent odor, becoming murky and unbearable.
"This pill is called the 'Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill,' which I painstakingly refined after enduring countless hardships.
Its medicinal properties are incredibly potent and domineering; it can easily eliminate most toxins in the world.
However, as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Although this pill has astonishing effects, it also carries significant risks. Once ingested, you will endure unimaginable agony.
Whether you can grit your teeth and withstand this life-and-death ordeal ultimately depends on your own fate and willpower."
Daoist Xuanji's tone was serious and solemn. After finishing his words, he carefully handed the Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill to Ye Qiu.
Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Qiu decisively reached out to take the black pill that exuded an eerie aura and unhesitatingly swallowed it whole.
In an instant, a soft "gulp" echoed as the pill slid down his throat.
Almost simultaneously, a searing hot current surged from his abdomen like a raging flame, rapidly spreading through his limbs and bones with lightning speed.
"Ah!" Caught off guard, Ye Qiu involuntarily let out a piercing scream of agony.
Suddenly, her entire body began to tremble uncontrollably, like a leaf caught in a fierce wind, on the verge of being torn to shreds at any moment.
At this moment, the terrifying corrosive power of the Bone Corrosion Talisman was engaged in a breathtaking life-and-death struggle with the formidable potency of the Nine Turns Soul-Returning Pill within her body. The two forces clashed and collided, unleashing waves of energy that sent chills down the spine.
The excruciating pain originating from the depths of her soul made it feel as if she could neither live nor die.
Su Mu's hand trembled slightly as he grasped Ye Qiu's somewhat pale hand tightly, as if trying to convey strength and courage to her through this connection.
His gaze was fixed intently on Ye Qiu, filled with unmistakable worry and a hint of heartache that flickered in his eyes.
At this moment, Ye Qiu had her eyes tightly shut, her brows furrowed, and occasionally a look of agony crossed her face.
Su Mu understood very well that Ye Qiu was facing an extremely severe test of life and death. In this critical moment, no matter how anxious or worried others might be, it ultimately depended on Ye Qiu herself to confront it with resilience.
Not far from them, Daoist Xuanji sat calmly on the ground like a tranquil mountain.
He swiftly formed various mysterious hand seals with his hands and softly chanted ancient and obscure scriptures under his breath.
With each recitation, a powerful and pure stream of true energy surged forth from his body, flowing like a lively serpent along specific meridians until it gently reached Ye Qiu's side and then softly merged into her body.
This true energy was like a warm spring breeze, gently soothing Ye Qiu's tormented body and doing its utmost to help her withstand the endless pain from the outside world.
