On the stone bed, the Elder Xuan Ji opened his eyes. Though his face was pale, his breathing was steady. It was obvious that he was out of danger.
Everyone had different reactions. The Second Luo Xue was crying tears of joy, the Supreme Headmaster was in shock, and Bu Chen and Dan Yangzi had a dark expression.
Dan Yangzi, in particular, was extremely gloomy.
The Elder Xuan Ji's awakening meant that the backlash had completely disappeared. It also meant that the Pill of Purification had replenished his energy.
Not only did his Dan of Purification not stop the backlash, it also didn't help the Elder Xuan Ji recover his energy.
In other words, he had completely lost to Ling Xian.
At this moment, Dan Yangzi felt like he was a joke and he had lost all his face.
He had no face to stay any longer and shifted his gaze towards Bu Chen, "Don't forget what you promised me."
Then, Dan Yangzi looked at Ling Xian with a complex expression and left.
Bu Chen's expression froze and darkened.
He had paid a great price to get Dan Yangzi to help him, and it was all for the sake of getting the beauty.
Yet the result was nothing. Yet he could not say no to Dan Yangzi.
This person was the grandmaster of alchemy. Even Supremes have to treat him with respect. How could he say no?
"Dammit!"
Bu Chen was enraged and the way he looked at Ling Xian was full of hatred.
If it weren't for Ling Xian, even if Dan Yangzi couldn't get rid of the backlash, he would've gained the Second Luo Xue's gratitude.
Therefore, Bu Chen naturally hated Ling Xian.
"You want to kill me …"
Sensing Bu Chen's murderous intent, Ling Xian faintly smiled and ignored him.
He shifted his gaze towards the Elder Xuan Ji, "The backlash has been erased by me. You only need to rest for a few months and you will be back to normal."
"Thank you for saving me." The Elder Xuan Ji smiled. He was somewhat happy and somewhat grateful.
"What happened in the future, what happened today. There is no need to thank me."
Ling Xian faintly smiled. Back then, he found the Elder Xuan Ji to save Yu Xun Zhen and owed him a favor.
Today, he had repaid the favor.
"What happened in the future, what happened today …"
The Elder Xuan Ji frowned slightly. This obviously meant that Ling Xian knew him. However, he was certain that he had never seen the person before him.
What could they do? The Heaven and Earth Changing Technique was too profound. Even a level-nine cultivator would find it hard to see through it.
"We'll talk about it later." Ling Xian grinned and no longer spoke.
Seeing this, Old Man Xuan Ji turned his gaze towards the Supreme Mystery Sect Leader and said, "I am ill, so it is inconvenient for me to greet you. Please forgive me, Headmaster."
"Foreign Dignitary Xuanji, you're flattering me. Our statuses are equal, so what's there to salute?"
The Taixuan Sect Lord smiled and said, "Seeing that you are out of danger, my heart is finally at ease."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "I wonder what your name is?"
"Xian Ling." Ling Xian reported his usual fake name.
"What a good name." The leader of the Xuan House complimented. Ling Xian only responded with a faint smile.
What was so good about this name? It was just an ordinary name. The reason why the headmaster of the Taixuan Sect praised him was because he was a grandmaster of alchemy and was worth befriending.
"Cough, cough …"
Seeing Ling Xian's faint smile, the leader of the Taixuan House coughed drily and said, "You sure are amazing. Compared to you, I am a mediocre person."
"Headmaster, you are too humble. To be able to control such a powerful sect like the Taixuan House, how can you be mediocre?"
Ling Xian faintly smiled. Though the Supreme Headmaster of the Taixuan House was not a level-nine cultivator, his foundation was not any weaker than Bu Chen's.
"Haha, I still cannot compare to you."
The Supreme Headmaster of the Taixuan House laughed brightly, "An alchemy grandmaster, and even stronger than Dan Yangzi."
"You are flattering me." Ling Xian grinned.
"Friend, I wonder if you are willing to be my Foreign Dignitary?" The leader of the Taixuan House asked.
"Aren't you afraid that I am a spy sent by another force?" Ling Xian's smile was not a smile.
"Haha, if there really is a force that is willing to send an alchemy grandmaster as a spy, then I will accept it."
The leader of the Taixuan House laughed out loud, "I am sincerely inviting you. I hope you will consider it seriously. "
"I am used to being free and do not like to be tied down." Ling Xian declined.
"If that's the case, then I won't say more. If you change your mind, you can find me at any time."
The leader of the Taixuan House had a look of pity. He paid his respect to Elder Xuan Ji and left.
The Elder of Law Enforcement and Bu Chen did the same.
What was different was that before he left, Bu Chen glared at Ling Xian, unable to hide his hatred.
"Finally, it's quiet."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and waved his hand, creating an array that isolated the soul and sound.
Then, he dispersed the Art of Shifting Heaven and Earth and revealed his true face.
"Elder Xuan Ji, long time no see."
"It's you …"
Elder Xuan Ji was a little startled, then he smiled, "No wonder you said the cause of the past is the effect of the present."
"Elder Xuan Ji has helped me greatly. Saving you is what I should do." Ling Xian grinned.
"I cannot believe that when we meet again, you have grown to this stage."
Elder Xuan Ji exclaimed. Back then, Ling Xian was also outstanding, but he was merely a sixth level cultivator. Today, he was already at the eighth level.
What was even more shocking was that he was now an alchemist. Anyone would exclaim at this.
"Nothing stays the same. So many years have passed, how could I not have changed?" Ling Xian smiled.
"That's true. But the changes you've undergone are truly frightening."
Elder Xuan Ji grinned, "Though I helped you back then, I still have to thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to open my eyes."
"Luckily, I came to the City of Zhi Ge to find a Master of Divination. Or else I wouldn't have appeared before you." Ling Xian felt lucky. He felt lucky that the Thief Immortal asked him to find the inheritance.
"You need a Master of Divination?"
Elder Xuan Ji was a little startled, "Tell me about it. If I can help, I will."
"We'll talk about this later. Elder Xuan Ji, you should rest first."
Ling Xian shook his head. Elder Xuan Ji had just recovered from his illness, how could he let him do the divination now?
Plus, he wasn't in a rush.
The inheritance has disappeared for who knows how many years. Rushing it now was pointless.
"That's a good idea. This time, I took a trip to the gates of hell." Elder Xuan Ji's heart was still fluttering.
"I am very curious. Just what kind of divination could make you suffer from such a backlash? Furthermore, it's such a terrifying backlash. "
Ling Xian frowned slightly. Elder Xuan Ji was someone who had reached the peak of divination. With his shocking knowledge, normal divination shouldn't have resulted in backlash.
"Aye, about that …" Elder Xuan Ji sighed deeply and stopped himself from speaking.
This made Ling Xian even more curious, but he didn't want to force him, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it."
"There's nothing inconvenient about it."
Elder Xuan Ji brandished his hand, "Half a month ago, I was observing the sky and found a star of misfortune. It seemed like it was about to turn the universe upside down."
"Turn the universe upside down?" Ling Xian's expression changed.
"That's right."
Elder Xuan Ji sighed, "To find out what was going on, I tried my best. However, I encountered the most serious backlash of my life."
