In the innermost oval-shaped courtyard, there were two blood-red crooked trees planted in the courtyard. On the trees, there were black fruits that beat like hearts, constantly devouring the surrounding black fog.
However, these fruits were only a drop in the bucket. There was still a large amount of greyish-black mist coming out of the small iron house in the center of the courtyard.
Zhao Quanmo led the three of them to a spot about ten meters away from the steel house. He stopped and pointed at a faint yellow line on the ground.
"This is a sealing formation. The three of you only need to purify the heavy planet pollutants outside. Someone will be in charge of calculating the specific amount of purification, so the three of you don't have to worry about your efforts not being accurate. "
The hunchbacked old man nodded. "That's a good idea. I just don't know if there are any White Shadow Clan members in charge of the safety of this area. Once the heavy planet pollutants leak out, only experts of this level can deal with them. "
Zhao Quanmo nodded and said, "Old Gu, you're quite knowledgeable. There are indeed people from the White Shadow Tribe guarding this place. You don't have to worry! "
The old man's expression immediately relaxed.
Seeing that Lu Sheng was puzzled, the Daoist nun transmitted a message to him to explain.
"Fellow Daoist, there are tens of billions of people in the Zhao Family, but only a few thousand are truly in charge of them. According to the clan's classification, these few thousand people are divided into four ranks — Gray Shadow, White Shadow, Crimson Shadow, and Dark Shadow. The White Shadow belongs to the middle and lower ranks, but he's still a top-notch Confusion Realm elite in the outside world. "
Lu Sheng's heart immediately went cold. The strength of this Zhao Clan was really incomparably tyrannical. There were several thousand of them … Among them, those who were slightly below average were Confusion Realms.
The Taoist nun seemed to have noticed Lu Sheng's shock and explained with a smile, "That's not strange. The Zhao Family has been glorious for hundreds of thousands of years, so it's normal for them to be in such a situation."
"Thank you for dispelling my doubts, Fairy." Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
"Three of you, if there are no problems, can we give it a try?" Zhao Quanmo stood at the side and said in a deep voice, "Try to purify the derivatives of the heavy planet pollutants. This can be considered a small test."
The old man and the Taoist nun nodded slightly.
"I'll go first." The old man was unwilling to pass on his responsibility. An emerald green short staff slowly appeared in his hand. He walked forward and lightly tapped the dark gray ground with the short staff.
* Hiss … *
Wisps of dark green smoke gushed out from the tip of the short staff, condensing into a huge monstrous face with a diameter of several meters.
This strange face had six eyes, no nose, only two small nostrils, and its mouth was filled with countless soft tube-like tentacles.
"Tree Spirit, it's all up to you now," the old man said in a low voice.
"Leave it to me. Although it's a bit tricky, it's still manageable, "the monstrous face replied loudly.
Lu Sheng and the Taoist nun retreated a little further.
The monstrous face floated forward for some distance, and then suddenly spat out a large cloud of dark green smoke, entangling with the surrounding grayish-black fog.
Countless hissing sounds rang out as the two types of smoke frantically tried to cancel each other out.
The strange face kept spitting out mouthfuls of dark green smoke to counteract the gray fog around it. However, everyone could tell that two or even three puffs of dark green smoke of the same volume would be needed to offset a small ball of dark gray smoke.
Time passed slowly. The greyish-black fog in the courtyard only thinned a little bit, but the strange face couldn't hold on any longer. It quickly flew back into the old man's short staff and didn't come out again.
"Not bad!" Zhao Quanmo hastily clapped and said with a smile. "The amount of purification and the method are very suitable. As expected of an experienced medical grandmaster, Old Gu. I'm in awe."
In truth, doctors who relied on their medical skills to enter Libra City's main city were basically medical grandmasters.
In Libra City's main city, the term 'doctor' was not simply a doctor. It was an abbreviation for a medical grandmaster.
Without sufficient strength, one would not be able to survive in this place. It was also impossible for one to pass the main city's examination.
Most cultivators had self-healing abilities, to some extent. Moreover, alchemists and formation masters were competing for business. It was even more difficult for doctors to survive.
If they did not have one or two unique skills, they would not be able to survive in the main city.
"It's my turn now."
When the Taoist nun saw that the old man had passed, she took a step forward. With a swish, a semi-transparent horsetail whisk appeared in her hand.
"Essence." She waved her hand, and countless transparent water droplets shot out of the horsetail whisk.
The water droplets shot out like rain and pierced the grayish-black fog. When the two came into contact, a piercing sound of corrosion was heard.
At the same time, the grayish-black fog weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Good!" Zhao Quanmo could not help but smile. If Old Gu's performance earlier was considered outstanding, then this Taoist nun's performance was impressive.
The amount and speed of purification that she could achieve on her own was equivalent to the three doctors they had hired in the past.
It should be known that the grayish-black fog here was a derivative of the heavy planet pollutants. If even a little of it leaked out, even if it was only the size of a fingernail, it could easily cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
The danger was so great that it was shocking.
In truth, there were many doctors in Libra City and the Zhao Family. They even had medical grandmasters. However, there were not many medical grandmasters who could purify the heavy planet pollutants.
Even so, there were cases of doctors among the Zhao Family's hired being accidentally contaminated, and they died.
"I've embarrassed myself." The Taoist nun put away her horsetail whisk. Her face was slightly flushed, and she retreated while panting slightly.
Her amount of purification was more than twice of Old Gu's. This caused Old Gu's expression to turn sour.
"It's my turn." Next, it was Lu Sheng's turn.
With the Taoist nun's performance, Zhao Quanmo was no longer worried about Lu Sheng. The Zhao Family had never seen more than five people who could purify as quickly as the Taoist nun. He was already very lucky this time. He did not expect to encounter someone like this again.
Lu Sheng took a step forward. He glanced at the grayish-black fog in the courtyard.
He moved his fingertip slightly. A speck of Devil Qi flashed past, followed by Yin Flames and Yang Essence. Subsequently, the Yang Essence simulated various types of energy.
However, as he expected, the instant the grayish-black fog came into contact with the energy, they were swiftly assimilated.
This fog was so domineering that even the other high-grade origin powers that Lu Sheng had seen before could not compare to it.
He was about to use the spirit-prompting threads in his body. This purest form of life energy should have a strong restraining effect on the grayish-black fog.
Suddenly, an inexplicable and mysterious feeling slowly flowed out of his body.
'This is …?!' Lu Sheng's heart stirred. 'Deep Blue!' he quickly called out in his mind, and summoned the modifier.
Soon enough, the changes that were happening on the modifier's interface gave him a huge shock.
His Mental Energy, which had stopped increasing, was now slowly increasing.
'Could it be …?!' Lu Sheng's mind raced. There were several conditions for Mental Energy to be formed.
Firstly, it had to be strongly contaminated with the spirit. It was best if the spirit was purely contaminated with will and thoughts.
Secondly, it had to be carried around for a long period of time to absorb the main body's Spiritual Essence and energy.
As for this grayish-black fog …
Lu Sheng sensed it carefully. He could faintly sense a domineering, domineering, and fierce will within it. This was clearly the attribute of the Evil Spirit Night Emperor's energy.
'Logically speaking, I've studied the Evil Spirit's energy before. I shouldn't have been able to absorb it … Could it be that the Zhao Family's Young Mistress has something to do with this?'
Lu Sheng's mind spun, and he immediately figured it out.
It was highly likely that the Zhao Family had poured in vast amounts of Spiritual Essence, treasures, and resources to extend the Young Mistress' life. For her consumption.
If that was the case, the two conditions for forming Mental Energy had been fulfilled. It could be devoured and absorbed by the modifier.
"Great! Great! Great!" When he figured this out, Lu Sheng was elated. Was this not a great gift that was delivered right to his mouth? He would never complain about having too much Mental Energy.
Even though he had figured it out, he did not stop what he was doing.
Initially, he was going to use his spirit-prompting threads to neutralize and purify it. However, looking at it now, this was a complete waste of a heavenly gift!
Lu Sheng extended his right hand decisively. A layer of black radiance covered his palm to conceal his intention. Then, he suddenly sucked.
Without a sound, the grayish-black fog in the courtyard was swiftly sucked into his arm.
The expressions of Zhao Quanmo and the others changed slightly. Their previously nonchalant expressions slowly turned grim.
Time passed by slowly. Lu Sheng continued to devour the grayish-black fog. This fog was basically mixed with impure Mental Energy. If it were not for the fact that he had to conceal it and purify the impurities, he could have instantly devoured all the fog in this place.
After about 10 minutes, Lu Sheng pretended to be pale and stopped.
"I'm sorry. I've reached my limit."
Currently, the amount of fog he purified was already four to five times more than the Taoist nun. This was a terrifying display that he had never seen before.
Zhao Quanmo's lips trembled slightly. His eyes shone with obvious joy that he could not suppress.
"Great! Great! Brother Lu's medical skills are great indeed! The three of you have passed the test! Please follow me and prepare to enter! "
"Alright."
Lu Sheng and the others responded.
With Zhao Quanmo, the three of them quickly stepped into the formation and arrived before the door of the iron house.
With a click, the door of the house opened. A rectangular white jade bed was placed inside. A beautiful girl in a white dress lay on the bed.
Faint golden bands of light circled around the girl. Faint chanting could be heard coming from the bands of light.
Around the house, a dozen doctors in various attires sat cross-legged on the floor around the girl.
Everyone had their eyes closed and were focused. They were resisting the pitch-black fog that was gushing out from under the girl with all their might.
Streaks of bright and dark halos of various colors continuously pushed back the pitch-black fog again and again.
However, some of the doctors who were sitting cross-legged would take out pills and consume them from time to time.
Some of them kept changing the Dharma treasures in their hands.
Outside the circle of doctors, there were two people standing quietly. One of them was also a beautiful girl. She wore a red dress and black socks. Her breasts were voluptuous, and her long hair was tied with a red butterfly accessory. She looked somewhat similar to the girl on the bed.
However, upon closer inspection, one could tell that this girl's aura was more lively and pampered.
The other person had a calm expression. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties.
Zhao Quanmo brought his men in and immediately went behind the two of them.
"Steward Wu, young lady cousin, these are the three newly registered medical grandmasters. All of them have extraordinary purification abilities." Zhao Quanmo lowered his head and reported to the two of them respectfully. "One of them is very outstanding."
"Then go up and replace the person inside. The empty spot on the left, the jiao spot on the right, and the kan spot on the left have been holding for a long time! "The middle-aged man, Steward Wu, quickly instructed. He ignored the main point of Zhao Quanmo's words.
"Alright!" Zhao Quanmo nodded. He turned around and gestured to Lu Sheng and the others. Then, he sent a voice transmission to make arrangements.
