🕑 Added 2023-06-16 00:53:59 +0000 UTC
Instantly!
Jiang Chen started to channel the ninety-second incantation of the Nether Qi Extraction Secrets in a reverse sequence.
In a split second, a multitude of crimson spiritual Qi points, perceptible only through the divine sense, began to seep out from every crevice of Ji Ruxue's form.
Predominantly, these sprang forth from her dantian, succeeded by her meridians, organs, flesh, and bones, with the scantiest quantity originating in her brain.
In no time, these crimson spiritual Qi points converged atop Ji Ruxue's head, coalescing into a minuscule sphere the size of a grain.
"Secret Art – Nether Qi Extraction!"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen issued a resonant, low cry, as his Dao Yuan Power surged in accordance with the ninety-third incantation!
Within a moment, the grain-sized crimson sphere located below Ji Ruxue's brow was 'extracted' out by Jiang Chen!
In his left hand, Jiang Chen grasped a precious artifact, prepared well in advance, into which he drew the crimson sphere.
"It's complete!"
"It's a success!"
Jiang Chen, mopping the fine sheen of sweat from his brow, burst out in an exhilarated exclamation.
"Is... is it genuinely resolved now!?"
"Will my daughter no longer be tormented by the Bottomless Abyss Spiritual Qi!?"
"Jiang Chen, you're not deceiving me, are you!?"
Ji Mingxiu queried, his voice a turbulent blend of overwhelming elation and incredulity.
Fear gnawed at him that he might be ensnared in a dream, and equally, he harbored a dread that Jiang Chen was merely staging a comforting act for his benefit.
After all, in the boundless eons of the Immortal Martial Continent, not a single soul had ever achieved a successful remedy for the affliction known as the Bottomless Abyss Spiritual Qi erosion.
Even the perennially stoic Xie Zhen betrayed a hint of elation on his typically impassive countenance.
His gaze was filled with a desperate hope, pleading for Jiang Chen to deliver the same miracle to his beloved granddaughter.
The quartet of Supreme Elders, including Mo Yu, widened their eyes in awe, staring at Jiang Chen with a mixture of disbelief and amazement.
Their deepest desire was for Jiang Chen to have truly healed Ji Ruxue, but the notion seemed simply too extraordinary!
"It truly is resolved now!"
"If I were being untruthful, I would willingly offer my life as an apology!"
"However, the Holy Maiden needs ample rest, so it would be best to avoid disturbing her for now."
Jiang Chen declared, his voice steady and confident, meeting Xie Zhen's expectant gaze with an assuring nod, "There's not a moment to spare, I'll attend to Junior Sister Xiaojing immediately!"
"Good! Excellent!"
Ji Mingxiu gave an instant nod of approval, "Hurry and aid Xie Xiaojing!"
Immediately, under the scrutinizing gazes of all present, Jiang Chen employed the same method to expunge the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi completely from Xie Xiaojing's body.
"It's successful!"
"Another triumph!"
"Jiang Chen, you've genuinely accomplished it!"
Mo Yu couldn't contain his excitement, exclaiming aloud.
"I feel remorseful."
"However, I am grateful that it was successful."
Jiang Chen's expression mirrored self-reproach, "Had it failed, I would have been unforgivable, even in death..."
"The trials and tribulations are not your doing!"
"Ji Ruxue has long yearned to explore and indulge in merriment, I am aware that she influenced you to coax me!"
"Furthermore, when faced with the anomaly in the Red Maple Heavenly Valley later, it was you who vanquished the Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast, thereby saving this girl once before!"
Ji Mingxiu was in high spirits, the more he observed Jiang Chen, the more his fondness for him grew!
He immediately made a resolution in his heart.
He would arrange for Ji Ruxue to be betrothed to Jiang Chen.
When the appropriate time arrived, he would declare this arrangement publicly!
In his view, this could not be perceived as Jiang Chen marrying above his station, after all, Jiang Chen's aptitude was evident to all.
Moreover, he was privy to the fact that Jiang Chen had affiliations and even friendships with two Void Tribulation realm powerhouses!
Simply on this account, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that his Ji Clan was elevating their status by forging this connection with Jiang Chen.
In this moment.
"Jiang Chen, what ought to be our next course of action?"
Mo Yu gestured towards Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing, lying on the formation, seeking guidance.
His primary intention was to inquire if there was anything else he and the others could assist with.
"The detrimental spiritual Qi has been successfully removed."
"However, their physical and spiritual selves have endured a day's worth of erosion."
"Therefore, once they naturally regain consciousness, they should consume the most refined and pure spirit-restoring and soul-nourishing pills."
Jiang Chen asserted with a grave expression, "I will further monitor their conditions afterwards to ensure no residual effects persist."
In actuality, both Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing were entirely recovered.
The rationale for the sustained observation was, of course, a beneficial opportunity Jiang Chen had skillfully contrived for himself, allowing for prolonged interaction with Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing.
"Spirit-restoring and soul-nourishing pills, indeed!"
"I possess a considerable quantity of top-grade ones right here. Jiang Chen, assess if they're of use!"
Without delay, Ji Mingxiu produced a substantial array of pills, all of which were top-grade pills catered to the Heavenly Origin realm.
"I also have a collection here!"
"Come, verify if they're appropriate!"
"..."
Mo Yu, Xie Zhen, and the remaining three Supreme Elders also started to present their respective pills in quick succession.
"Perfect!"
"These pills are precisely what we need!"
Jiang Chen immediately nodded his agreement.
"In that case!"
"You should hold onto these pills!"
"After all, you'll need to oversee Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing's conditions for a while longer."
"You can determine when and how they should consume the medication!"
As he passed the pills over to Jiang Chen, Ji Mingxiu expressed his thoughts.
"Indeed, indeed!"
"You're the most knowledgeable about when they should intake which pills, so we'll entrust it all to you!"
Mo Yu and the others also began passing their pills over to Jiang Chen.
"But!"
"There are too many pills here, we can't possibly utilize them all!"
Jiang Chen, somewhat overwhelmed, accepted the pills from Ji Mingxiu and the others with a mix of amusement and incredulity.
"If there are leftovers, feel free to distribute them amongst the girls."
Ji Mingxiu dismissed the concern with a wave of his hand, making a firm decision.
In that moment, he transitioned from a frenzied and anxious father back into the authoritative master of the Purple Heaven Holy Land!
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Jiang Chen offered no further objections and gratefully accepted with a joyful expression gracing his face.
"What are you thanking me for? No need for such formalities."
Ji Mingxiu initially intended to add 'we are all family'.
However, considering Ji Ruxue was not yet privy to the matter, he refrained from mentioning it.
"Ah right!"
Mo Yu suddenly interjected, querying earnestly, "Jiang Chen, concerning that secret method, did those two seniors mention anything about its disclosure?"
As these words resounded, everyone's attention sharpened!
This 'Nether Qi Extraction Secrets' was the sole technique known in the Immortal Martial Continent capable of extracting the Bottomless Abyss Spiritual Qi!
If they could acquire it, perhaps they could venture into the Bottomless Abyss and uncover untapped opportunities!
"Well..."
"The two seniors didn't explicitly prohibit its disclosure, but they also didn't grant explicit permission."
Jiang Chen adopted a sincere expression, "I can only solicit their views the next time I encounter the two seniors."
"I understand!"
"Then you should strive to meet those two seniors more frequently and foster your relationship with them!"
"If there's a necessity to present them gifts or such, feel free to approach us directly."
"Even though we are merely at the Dao Palace realm and the Dao Comprehension realm, having not even ascended to the Third Step of the Cultivation Path, we still possess greater wealth than you."
Upon reaching a sudden enlightenment, Ji Mingxiu nodded his head and then addressed Jiang Chen earnestly.
Mo Yu and the other four also indicated their agreement with nods.
Undoubtedly, they also desired to strengthen their ties with the two Void Tribulation realm seniors through Jiang Chen.
"Understood!"
Jiang Chen assented with a nod.
He might indeed have to offer gifts to Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning in the future.
As long as it's a treasure that doesn't risk revealing their circumstances, he could solicit it from Ji Mingxiu and the others.
"Haha!"
"Then next up, Jiang Chen, you should look after them!"
"When these two young ladies awaken, you should guide them back to Ruxue's quarters."
Ji Mingxiu chortled, promptly entrusted Ji Ruxue and Xie Xiaojing to Jiang Chen, and then disappeared from the locale.
As the Holy Lord of the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
He truly had an abundance of responsibilities.
Even a brief delay of a day or two had already resulted in a considerable pile of work.
"Then we will take our leave as well."
"Jiang Chen, should you require any assistance, do not hesitate to reach out to us."
With amiable smiles, Mo Yu and the three Supreme Elders nodded towards Jiang Chen and then also vacated the premises.

Something I noticed that's quite clever is he basically just got a bunch of free gifts to hand over under the guise of needing them for the two purified patients when really he just made it where he doesn't have to spend villain points to get soul healing and nourishing pills for Fang Yuan's ring maidens.
