The old man was silent for a moment, his eyes flickered, and after a long while he nodded, "The only way to save this kid now is to completely replace his Dantian and heart meridian with the Fire Spirit Pearl, and let the Fire Spirit Pearl nourish his life and repair his body."
"He will still live like a normal person, with body temperature and breathing, but his heart and dantian will no longer be his weaknesses. Of course, his strength will be several times stronger than that of warriors of the same level. It's just..."
He Xi's originally relaxed heart immediately tensed up again, "Just what?"
The old man glanced at his disciple's beautiful, handsome, and androgynous face, then chuckled and said, "However, if the Fire Spirit Pearl is fused with this kid's Dantian, the Spirit Pearl will melt and disintegrate in his body again. Before this kid dies, the Fire Spirit Pearl will never be seen again."
"Even if you want to take back the Fire Spirit Pearl in the future, it will be impossible. On the contrary, if you take out the Fire Spirit Pearl from his Dantian now, he will still be a corpse, but the Fire Spirit Pearl will be in the best condensed state. If you get the Fire Spirit Pearl, your strength will be increased several times immediately."
"My dear disciple, are you sure you want to use this spirit bead to save him?"
He Xi didn't even think about it and answered without hesitation: "What's there to be sure of? This spiritual pearl originally belonged to him, and his parents died tragically for this spiritual pearl. I promised his father that I would save his life."
The old man clicked his tongue and said, "My dear disciple, is this boy your lover? In order to save him, you even gave up the Fire Element Spirit Pearl. Do you understand how precious and powerful the Five Elements Spirit Pearl is? Even I, an old man, can't bear to give it up... Aren't you afraid that if you save this boy, he will turn against you and you won't even be able to beat him. Wouldn't that be a big loss?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Xi rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I am a doctor. Since I promised the patient's family that I would save him and I have the ability to do so, how can I go back on my word?"
"As for the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl, there are so many good things in this world, do they all have to belong to me?"
"Besides..." He Xi's face flushed for a moment, and she turned away her eyes and whispered, "I... I already have a crush on someone. Don't say anything like 'lover' or anything like that anymore."
The old man looked at her in a daze for a long while, as if he was shocked by her words, and also seemed stunned by her rare blushing face.
After a long time, he suddenly leaned over and burst into laughter.
He Xi was so angry at his laughter that he shouted, "Old man, just one question, are you going to save her or not? If you don't, I'll find someone else to help!"
"Save him, of course!" The old man still had a smile on his face, and his gaze towards her was much gentler and kinder than before. "My dear disciple, you are worthy of being my disciple. Since you want this kid to live so much, then Master will do his best to save him."
"But we can't do that here. Take him with you and let's go to the Sealed Dragon Territory Desert. Otherwise, I'm afraid the noise will be too loud and attract the attention of others."
He Xi did not hesitate and quickly brought Ouyang Haoxuan and the old man to the desert area of Fenglong Domain.
The temperature in the northwest corner of the desert has reached a terrifying 60 degrees Celsius, and even magical beasts rarely appear here.
He Xi used his water spirit power to protect his whole body, and only then did he feel better under the attack of the heat wave. (To be continued)
