Perhaps it was because of Lu Xuan's frown, Xia Qi smiled, "How is it? Can it still be treated?"
In truth, Xia Qi did not take Lu Xuan's words to heart. He was just someone on the brink of death. Even if it was a life-saving straw, he would still try to grasp it. Now that the Central Plains was in turmoil, he did not want to die, nor could he die.
Lu Xuan raised his head and met Xia Qi's gaze. He nodded with certainty, "It can be treated!"
Xia Qi's eyes flashed with a strange light. His breathing became slightly erratic as he asked with uncertainty, "Can it really be treated?"
"Your Majesty's injuries are extremely severe. Your body has been greatly corroded by the Baleful Yin Qi. In order to completely treat it, you will need a heaven-defying pill. Forgive me, Lu Xuan, but I am powerless."
"So it can't be treated?" Xia Qi's eyes flashed with disappointment. Of course, he knew that a heaven-defying pill could cure him, but where could he find such a pill?
Lu Xuan smiled and shook his head, "I don't have the ability to completely treat it, but I promised Your Majesty that I can do it."
"I can help Your Majesty expel the Baleful Yin Qi from your body. Without it, Your Majesty's body will no longer be corroded by the Baleful Yin Qi. You will no longer feel pain and you will be like an ordinary person. Of course, your body is already damaged, so I am powerless. If Your Majesty can take some nourishing pills, you will not have to worry about your lifespan for half a year."
Xia Qi asked in disbelief, "You can expel the Baleful Yin Qi? Brother Su said that the Baleful Yin Qi is extremely stubborn. Unless a late-stage Virtualized Realm expert expel it, there is no way to expel it. It can only slow down the invasion. "
"Your Majesty, please calm your mind and relax your body. Do not resist my Yuan Qi. You will know once you try." Lu Xuan said confidently.
Xia Qi stared deeply at Lu Xuan. He felt that he could trust Lu Xuan. If Lu Xuan really had the ability to expel the Baleful Yin Qi from his body, then what Lu Xuan said before might be true!
"Come, if you can really succeed, We will reward you handsomely!"
Without another word, Lu Xuan closed his eyes and activated the Taiyi Convergence Technique. A strand of Taiyi energy instantly entered Xia Qi's body through Lu Xuan's fingertip. Xia Qi did as Lu Xuan said and did not block the energy, allowing Lu Xuan's Taiyi energy to freely circulate in his body.
Without any hesitation, Lu Xuan directed the Taiyi energy towards Xia Qi's dantian, the base of the Baleful Yin Qi.
The power of Taiyi was capable of assimilating and absorbing all types of Yuanli, and the Dark Yin Qi was also a type of Yuanli. What Lu Xuan needed to do was not to remove the power of Taiyi from Xia Qi's body. Instead, he needed to use the characteristics of his own Taiyi power to absorb it.
Lu Xuan did not recklessly rush the power of Taiyi into Xia Qi's dantian in one go. If that were to happen, not only would Xia Qi die from the sudden outburst of the malevolent aura, but Lu Xuan himself would also be attacked by the malevolent aura. There was no way Lu Xuan would be able to withstand such a massive amount of malevolent aura with his current level of powers.
He controlled the strand of Taiyi energy and carefully moved it to the edge of Xia Qi's dantian. Then, he sent a strand of Yuan Qi into it and gently touched the outermost layer of the Baleful Yin Qi.
The Baleful Yin Qi was extremely sensitive to Yuan Qi, and when it sensed that Yuan Qi had voluntarily come to its doorstep for it to devour, it immediately rushed over. Just then, Lu Xuan quickly retreated, but a small amount of the Baleful Yin Qi chased after him relentlessly. However, most of the Baleful Yin Qi that Lu Xuan had not activated remained safely in Xia Qi's dantian.
A large amount of Baleful Yin Qi was something that Lu Xuan was afraid of, but if it was just a small amount, Lu Xuan was not afraid at all.
Now's the time! Lu Xuan thought to himself, and the Taiyi energy immediately counterattacked the Baleful Yin Qi. It was like a wolf in sheep's clothing had suddenly peeled off the sheep's skin, revealing its true face.
The Taiyi energy immediately surrounded the Baleful Yin Qi, and Lu Xuan immediately activated the Taiyi Convergence Technique with all his might. Under the full force of the Taiyi energy, Lu Xuan used the Taiyi energy to forcefully wrap around the Baleful Yin Qi and drag it from Xia Qi's body into his own.
The reason why Lu Xuan did not absorb the Baleful Yin Qi from Xia Qi's body was firstly because Xia Qi's body was now rather weak and could not withstand too much impact. Secondly, Lu Xuan's body was filled with an endless amount of Taiyi energy, and this was his home base. Inside his body, the Baleful Yin Qi was like a meal on a platter, with nowhere to escape.
Just as Lu Xuan's Taiyi energy left Xia Qi's body with the Baleful Yin Qi, Xia Qi's eyes suddenly opened and he looked at Lu Xuan in disbelief. Had he really succeeded?
But was Lu Xuan not afraid of death by doing this? Although he had only taken away a small amount of Baleful Yin Qi, Xia Qi knew very well how powerful it was. Back then, the Baleful Yin Qi that Mo Sha had injected into his body was only this much, but now it had almost occupied his entire dantian.
At this moment, Lu Xuan was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Xia Qi. He needed to first absorb the Baleful Yin Qi, otherwise he would be in trouble if it spread.
Sensing the might of Lu Xuan's Taiyi powers, the Vile Yin aura was no longer as arrogant as it had been before. It began to charge left and right, trying to escape. However, Lu Xuan was not about to let it get away. He continued to work the Taiyi Convergence Method, and the Vile Yin aura became less and less. On the other hand, the Yuanli within Lu Xuan's body continued to increase, which was the exact opposite of what Xia Qi was experiencing.
The Baleful Yin Qi had originally been converted from Xia Qi's Yuan power. Now that it had become Lu Xuan's Yuan power, it was equivalent to Xia Qi indirectly transferring his Yuan power to Lu Xuan. By treating Xia Qi's injuries, not only would Lu Xuan not face any trouble, but he would also benefit greatly.
At this moment, the crowd in front of the palace was still not sure what was going on, but the few auras that had been watching Lu Xuan suddenly retracted. They could clearly see the state of Lu Xuan and Xia Qi. Lu Xuan was not lying, he really could help Xia Qi dispel the Baleful Yin Qi!
After a long while, Lu Xuan finally opened his eyes. The Baleful Yin Qi in his body had been completely assimilated by his Taiyi energy and was no longer a threat.
"How do you feel?" Xia Qi asked amiably as he looked at Lu Xuan with a rare happy smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine now." Lu Xuan replied with a smile. Xia Qi did not immediately ask about his injuries, but instead asked about Lu Xuan's condition. This made Lu Xuan have a good impression of him.
"Haha, that's good!" Xia Qi immediately laughed heartily. His voice was unprecedentedly hearty. Everyone in the palace was a little stunned. Ever since Xia Qi had been seriously injured, they had not heard him laugh like this for a long time.
"Father? Did you succeed? " Xia Xi exclaimed in surprise. Aside from Xia Qi, the happiest person was undoubtedly Xia Xi, because he had brought Lu Xuan here. If Lu Xuan really succeeded in dispelling Xia Qi's Baleful Yin Qi, not only would he be able to clear Lu Xuan's name, but his position in Xia Qi's heart would also be greatly enhanced.
Xia Qi nodded with certainty. "Lu Xuan managed to get rid of a sliver of that murderous aura from my body just now. While it was only a sliver, I feel like I've gotten a few years younger. Haha, I've never felt so relaxed before."
"Congratulations, Father!" Xia Xi was the first to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Imperial Brother." Xia Zheng Wen also said with a smile. Then, all the guards in the palace knelt down and shouted in unison, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations … Imperial Father." Xia Jie also said in a daze. However, he still had not regained his senses. What was this? Had Lu Xuan really succeeded? If Lu Xuan had been a little more powerful and completely healed Xia Qi's injuries, would he still have a chance to sit on the throne? For the first time, Xia Jie felt that he was so stupid. It was like going for wool and coming home shorn!
This time, the biggest winner was Xia Xi, followed by Xia Qi, and finally Lu Xuan.
Xia Qi smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite. He then turned to Lu Xuan and asked, "Lu Xuan, when will you be able to completely dispel the baleful Yin Qi from my body?"
"At least five days, at least three days. I suggest that Your Majesty not take any pills or cultivate for the next few days to avoid increasing the growth of your baleful Yin Qi," Lu Xuan said.
Xia Qi nodded. He knew that although taking pills could temporarily suppress the growth of his baleful Yin Qi, it was no different from quenching thirst with poison. Because the medicinal properties of these pills would sooner or later transform into baleful Yin Qi.
"Alright, from now on, We will listen to everything you say." Xia Qi agreed readily. "Lu Xuan, tell me what reward you want. As long as We have it, We will give it to you!"
To anyone, there was nothing more precious than life. Lu Xuan had given Xia Qi a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation, so Xia Qi would not be stingy in the slightest.
However, Lu Xuan said humbly, "Your Majesty is too kind. Lu Xuan only wants to clear his name. I don't deserve a reward."
"That won't do. Ever since We ascended the throne, We have always punished those who have made mistakes and rewarded those who have made contributions. Although We won't be able to sit on this throne for long, We don't want to break this rule." Xia Qi shook his head.
The Southern Guardian Duke, Xia Zhengwen, smiled. "I see that Lu Xuan is a young genius. Why don't Imperial Brother recruit him to the palace?"
"What kind of technique?" Xia Qi asked curiously.
"The Ninth Princess is still unmarried. Why don't Imperial Brother arrange a marriage?"
Lu Xuan's face darkened. Was Xia Qi going to introduce him to someone again? Without waiting for Xia Qi to speak, Xia Qi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you mustn't. Lu Xuan's parents are not by his side. Without his parents' permission, he cannot marry."
As expected, when Xia Qi recalled that Lu Xuan had lost all his memories and didn't even know where he was from, Xia Qi immediately gave up on the idea. However, when Xia Zhengwen said that he wanted to recruit Lu Xuan as one of his own, Xia Qi was quite tempted. Putting aside the fact that Lu Xuan had made such a great contribution, Lu Xuan's talent alone was enough for him to value him.
