As Xue Chengxuan spoke, he waved his hand. A bright light completely enveloped the patient closest to him. After that, he raised his hand, and a silver light floated around him.

Meng Qi walked toward Xie Chengxuan, staring at the silver light carefully. It turned out to be a thin silver needle.

Xue Chengxuan snapped his fingers, and the silver light quickly flew into the wrist of the man in front of him. A blue jade slip flew out of his storage space, floating in front of the man’s forehead.

Meng Qi stood beside him. Without blinking her eyes, she carefully watched Xue Chengxuan did every step orderly. This was probably how a great healer work: calm, profound, and pleasing to the eye.

Xue Chengxuan frowned. The silver light drilled out of the injured man’s other wrist and disappeared. Meng Qi knew that the needle was called back by Xue Chengxuan. Many medical cultivators chose silver needles and medicinal cauldron as their natal magic weapon. Xue Chengxuan was born in a prominent medical sect. For him to use silver needles as a magic weapon was normal.

Meng Qi has just stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage. Once she reached the fifth realm of Foundation Establishment, she would have to begin refining her own natal magic weapon. In her previous life, she used a three-legged medicinal cauldron. In this life…silver needles like Xue Chengxuan used were probably also good.

“Fellow Daoist Meng.” Xue Chengxuan’s expression was grave. He sent the blue jade slip to Meng Qi, who took it into her hand.

The jade slip glowed, and all the information about the patient’s physical condition rushed into her mind. The spiritual aura inside his body was completely dried up, leaving his spiritual sea as barren and dry land. After being eroded by the immortal devouring vine for many days, the man’s vitality and strength have been consumed. The originally strong body of a cultivator was now almost hollowed out. Not to mention….

“Huh?” Meng Qi’s eyes widened, “Devil aura?!”

Xue Chengxuan turned his head and quickly shouted to Li Anhe, who was in charge of this place: “Hurry up! Send people to intercept those two just now!”

“…Yes!”

The words ‘devil aura’ instantly changed Li Anhe’s expression. “It’s bad!” He suddenly raised his voice, “The cultivators currently recovering in the snow cave back in the mountain are also…” Li Anhe turned pale and was about to stride out of the door.

The bloodstains on the corners of Qin Xiumo’s lips have turned dark brown, making his face even paler: “Below Spirit Severing, I’m afraid won’t be able to stop him.”

“Spirit Severing?!” Li Anhe trembled. “Master and elder are now unavailable. There is no other person…” Xuanyun Villa only had two cultivators who barely just stepped into the realm of Spirit Severing stage, but both of them were now busy with a more important issue.

“Then don’t send anyone. They’ll just die in vain.” Qin Xiumo wiped off the blood on his lips and said in a hoarse voice.

“But…” Li Anhe still wanted to argue.

Xue Chengxuan shook his head: “I was careless just now. This devil aura is so weak that it can’t be detected without careful examination. That black-robed cultivator seems to be injured, perhaps by a devil cultivator, and the demon aura remains in his body. ”

Based on his examination, the demon aura seemed to be completely harmless. Moreover, it was only one strand of it, which was extremely weak and would dissipate naturally in one or two days, even if left alone.
