Hearing Zhang Kanwen's reminder, my heart stirred. I quickly urged my witchcraft energy to feel the mysterious power of the seven-star mugwort.
The seven-star mugwort's energy had already mixed with my witchcraft energy. I effortlessly controlled it and tried to use the seven-star mugwort's energy to touch the black spot. I vaguely felt that the pressure that had been blocking me had loosened a little.
It was as if the pressure that had been blocking me was an iceberg, and my witchcraft energy was a sharp blade. I couldn't pierce through the thousand-year-old mysterious ice at all.
Now, the seven-star mugwort's power was like a flame, burning the sharp blade of my witchcraft energy red. When I poked the thousand-year-old mysterious ice again, the surrounding ice gradually melted, and I slowly poked it in!
Feeling this, I was immediately excited. I mobilized more witchcraft energy, trying to disperse the resistance of the thousand-year-old mysterious ice in one go.
After I had increased my strength, the resistance force in the dent increased. After a while, I felt a cold and gloomy aura trying to resist it.
I was shocked. If I disturbed this evil creature now, it would be difficult to deal with it.
After thinking for a moment, I slowed down the speed at which I infused my witchcraft energy. At the same time, I thought quickly in my head.
This evil creature's aura was terrifying. If I rashly disturbed it, it would counterattack. It would be a small matter if Zhang Kanwen and I were hurt, but it would be troublesome if Little Wang Li was hurt.
However, I couldn't keep wasting time like this.
I frowned. Although I had the cultivation base of a Celestial Master, I still felt that the evil energy in the black spot was endless. If I kept wasting time, I would be the first to be exhausted. At that time, it wouldn't end well.
Instead of wasting it fruitlessly, it was better to take a gamble and concentrate all the power of Wizard Qi. With the help of the Seven Star Mugwort, he might as well go all out and try to cut off the connection between the evil thing in the black spot and Little Wang Li before it alarmed the evil thing!
Zhang Kanwen had said that Zhengyi School had a way to kill and expel evil creatures. Now that I had the cultivation base of a Celestial Master, I could give it a try.
I took a deep breath, and the shaman energy in my body gushed out, pouring into Little Wang Li's body. It formed an ink-colored giant sword that wrapped the power of the Seven Star Mugwort and slashed into the depths of the black speckled dent.
Just as I made my move, Little Wang Li's body suddenly shook and his eyes turned purple!
The evil being was reacting!
When I had decided to try to cut off the evil spirit, I had already made preparations. At this moment, the arrow was nocked on the bowstring and had to be released. I gritted my teeth and exerted my strength. More and more shaman energy rushed into Little Wang Li's body without reservation. The huge shaman energy sword became even more terrifying. After I had gathered all the shaman energy in my body, I controlled the huge shaman energy sword and slashed at the black speckled dent. It collided with the evil spirit power that had suddenly erupted from the dent!
As soon as the two forces collided, they weren't able to determine the victor, and they collided with each other.
My huge shaman energy sword had gathered all the shaman energy in my body. It would have been fine if I had succeeded in the first slash, but after the collision, I didn't have any follow-up support.
Conversely, the Evil Spirit Energy within the crater seemed to be endless, and it gathered more and more. In the beginning, it was only burning with the enormous Shaman Energy Sword, but after a short moment, it exploded out with a bang and pushed the enormous Shaman Energy Sword out.
The power of the Seven Star Mugwort that wrapped around the huge shaman energy sword seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
As the huge shaman energy sword retreated, Little Wang Li's body began to twitch, and his eyes became more and more purple.
At this critical moment, I used the Astral Steps and desperately triggered the shaman energy that the dead Tai Sui's body had forcibly poured into other parts of my body and continued to pour it into the huge shaman energy sword.
With the follow-up support, the momentum of the huge shaman energy sword being pushed out temporarily slowed down. However, after my supporting shaman energy was slightly delayed, the evil spirit power burst out again. The huge shaman energy sword was forced to retreat, and there was no way to resist it at all.
In despair, I found that the evil spirit power didn't seem to have an upper limit. When I was still in the Glory of Knowledge realm, it had used the power of the Glory of Knowledge realm to stop me. Now that I had become a Heavenly Master, the power that could stop me had also become at the Heavenly Master level.
No matter how much force I used, the evil spirit power in the dent seemed to be boundless.
What should I do?
I was sweating all over. If I failed this time and triggered the evil spirit power to fully erupt, Little Wang Li would really be consigned to eternal damnation!
Zhang Kanwen seemed to see the current situation. He solemnly stared at Little Wang Li, his face pale. Suddenly, he shouted at me, "Withdraw all your shaman energy, and only use the power of the Seven Star Mugwort to resist!"
I was stunned, but there was no other way. After a moment of hesitation, I chose to believe in Zhang Kanwen. I gritted my teeth and instantly withdrew the shaman energy that I had sent into the dent.
The strange thing was that as I withdrew my shaman energy, the evil spirit power in the dent dissipated a lot. Only a small part of it was still surging up, as if it was about to explode.
However, at this moment, after losing the restraints of the shaman energy, the Seven Star Mugwort's power completely erupted. It turned into a silver light that flowed out of the dent and quickly flowed through Little Wang Li's body, occupying seven acupoints from head to toe.
After the Seven Star Mugwort's power lingered on Little Wang Li's acupoints, the black dent was also illuminated by the silver light. The remaining evil spirit power was like snow meeting the scorching sun, quickly melting and disappearing.
After the Evil Spirit's power was completely dispelled, the silver light slowly dissipated and fell on the four walls of the black mottled dent, forming a layer of light silver film.
With the formation of this film, Little Wang Li's body gradually calmed down, and his eyes gradually became clear. The creepy purple color from before could no longer be seen.
I wiped my sweat and stood up, asking Zhang Kanwen, "Brother Zhang, how is it?"
Zhang Kanwen's pale face eased a lot. He exhaled and nodded at me. "It's hard to say. Let me see."
Then, he reached out his hand and gently pressed his finger on Little Wang Li's forehead, closing his eyes.
At this time, I couldn't help much. I could only stand aside and watch in silence.
At this moment, Wang Yongjun was the first to approach me. His voice carried a hint of joy as he asked me, "Mr. Zhou, does this mean that he's cured?
I can see that the color of the dent on Wang Li's body has faded a lot. Many parts of his body look the same as ordinary skin. "
"I'm not sure yet. We have to see what Brother Zhang says." I shook my head, but I still looked a little nervous.
The dent looked a lot better, but when I used my shaman energy to fight against the evil spirit, I lost miserably.
After a while, Zhang Kanwen stopped and stood up. He turned to look at us and said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
The smile on Wang Yongjun's face froze. He hurriedly asked, "Why is there bad news? It looks so much better …"
"It's really much better."
Zhang Kanwen sighed. "Just now, Zhou Yi and I tried to cut off the connection between the evil spirit in the dent and Little Wang Li, but we didn't succeed. We almost caused the evil spirit to break out of seclusion in advance.
Fortunately, the power of the seven-star mugwort herb is extraordinary. In the end, it temporarily suppressed the evil spirit in the passage and formed a barrier. It can protect Little Wang Li for at least a year. "
Wang Yongjun wasn't a metaphysician, so he didn't quite understand what Zhang Kanwen had said. But now that he knew that Little Wang Li was safe for the time being, the worry on his face faded a little.
I was puzzled and asked Zhang Kanwen, "When I tried to use my shaman energy to kill it, the power of the evil spirit in the passage was completely beyond my expectations."
Zhang Kanwen smiled bitterly and nodded. "I'm afraid that our previous guess was wrong. This evil spirit is too strong … Even with the cultivation of a Celestial Master and the help of the seven-star mugwort herb, we can't expel it."
I nodded. I had also noticed that earlier.
After thinking for a while, I asked him again, "What kind of cultivation do you think is needed to expel it?"
Zhang Kanwen was silent for a moment before answering, "At least the cultivation of a Yang God Celestial Master!"
Yang God Celestial Master!
In the metaphysics world, there were very few Yang God Celestial Masters. But with my aptitude, this realm wasn't a fantasy. It was just that the power of the seven-star mugwort herb could only protect Little Wang Li for a year. How could a year be enough for me to advance to a Yang God Celestial Master?
"Let's take it one step at a time."
Zhang Kanwen looked at me with my head lowered in silence. He sighed with a helpless expression. "This is the best method I can think of now. Who knows, we might find another method after a year."
I nodded. Zhang Kanwen was right. Now, we could only take it one step at a time.
To be honest, I had no confidence in advancing to a Yang God Celestial Master within a year.
"Big Brother Zhang, no matter what, my son can live for another year, right?"
Just as the two of us were depressed, Wang Kun, who had been standing quietly by the side and watching us, suddenly spoke.
"That's right." Zhang Kanwen was stunned for a moment before answering casually.
"I'm already very grateful to you."
Wang Kun first bowed deeply to Zhang Kanwen, then bowed to me and said sincerely, "Little Master Zhou, Master Zhang, I'm already very grateful that you're willing to do so much for my son …"
As he spoke, Wang Kun's eyes reddened and he couldn't continue.
He probably knew in his heart that if there was no change in this one year, Little Wang Li's final outcome would still be the same. All parents in the world were pitiful. Watching their child walk towards death step by step with their own eyes, no one would be in a good mood.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy. Looking at Wang Kun and his wife who were choking with sobs, I couldn't say anything. I smiled wryly and glanced at Zhang Kanwen. I left him here to comfort Wang Kun and walked out.
I slowly paced in the corridor alone and looked blankly in front of me. I didn't feel good in my heart.
No matter what, I managed to stabilize Little Wang Li for a year. But in the face of a more unpredictable future, I couldn't be happy no matter what.
As I walked, I subconsciously walked to the outside of the fat man's room. I paused for a moment before pushing the door open and walking in.
The fat man seemed to be woken up by the sound of my entrance. He opened his eyes and struggled to turn his head. He squeezed out a smile and asked me, "You killed that bastard Lu Zhenyang?"
"How is that possible?"
I smiled wryly and sat down by his bed. I said slowly, "He's a Yang God Celestial Master. With my strength that has just entered the Celestial Master realm, it's impossible to kill him."
Then, I told him what happened after the fat man fainted. The fat man nodded and looked a little down. "My Monster Refining Gourd is also in his hands?"
I was speechless for a moment and smiled wryly. "Yes, but there's no other way … If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely get it back for you."
The fat man also knew that I was comforting him. He chuckled and didn't continue the topic. "What about Little Wang Li?
How is he?
Did you use the seven-star mugwort? "
"No." I sighed and said, "I extended his life for another year."
"Just extended his life for another year?" The fat man repeated my words. It was obvious that he understood.
