Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 579 Did I mess up his brain?

Time stood still, and Xue Lan unraveled the illusion she had created regarding her perception of youth.

Lu Feng finally heard the sound of Xue Lan manipulating his bones. His consciousness hovered in mid-air, looking down at himself as if he were a corpse.

"I'm starting to regret it," the young man murmured to Xue Lan.

Xue Lan smiled slightly as she received a blood-red crystal from the inner demon:

"Then you'll regret it."

Lu Feng couldn't bear to look at himself. The young man's consciousness hovered in mid-air, and he asked curiously:

"What you just said about what happened to your fellow disciples has to do with your insistence on filling my body with a demonic core?"

Xue Lan thought to herself, "You've finally hit the nail on the head," and the woman immediately nodded:

"Yes, some fellow Daoists."

"You must have heard what my senior uncle said just now. Of his disciples, four died and one was injured."

Although Lu Feng was often tricked and fooled by Xue Lan, he wasn't a fool like Zhu He at heart. The young man pondered for a moment and then understood the crux of the matter:

"Is it related to this injury?"

Holding the Sun-Tracing Mirror in her hand, Xue Tong couldn't help but give Lu Feng a thumbs up.

As expected of the male lead, he's really smart.

"You guessed right." Xue Lan filled a blood-red magic core into Lu Feng's body, confirming the man's guess.

"His name is Gong Yuan, my senior master's eldest disciple. Under the corrosive influence of demonic poison, he lost his golden core, lost his sanity, and finally became a monster. With his golden core shattered and his meridians deformed..."

Xue Lan recalled the scenes she had seen in Ji Ping's memories, and her voice became slightly unsteady.

"When demonic energy enters the body, all kinds of poisons invade and cannot be circulated."

"I can only use you to test whether I can control the demonic energy, and use the operating method of the demonic core to replace the golden core, so as to bring him back to his senses while saving his life."

"What kind of person is your senior brother?"

What kind of person is Gong Yuan?

Xue Lan briefly searched her memory, then smiled and spoke:

"My senior brother is a very gentle person."

"He and his junior sister were discussing their marriage at the time of the accident."

Xue Lan glanced at Shen Suan Zhenren, who was sleeping soundly beside A Wu.

The old man didn't seem to have slept well; his brow was furrowed as if he had a nightmare. Awu had Xiaozhou lie down next to the old man, and only then did the old man's expression calm down.

Xue Lan sighed softly; her senior uncle was indeed obsessed.

"If it weren't for the Jiyue Mountain incident back then, my senior master would have watched his two disciples get married in the middle of spring when the peach blossoms were in full bloom."

"But things didn't go as planned..."

Zhang Mingqiu ended his life with a great fire, while Gong Yuan, corrupted by demonic poison, entered the desolate region filled with resentment.

With her delicate eyebrows and slender eyes, Yiyi could no longer wear the beautiful hairpin she bought in Ruoshui City, and Ganlin, who had not yet reached the age of fifteen, would never reach fifteen.

Qi Song, who kept saying that Xue Lan was like the Awakening Moon Flower, eventually became a monument in the Awakening Moon Flower field.

Xue Lan's voice carried a slight hoarseness:

"My senior apprentice began to slowly wither away from that day."

Lu Feng didn't know what to say. The young man's consciousness hovered in mid-air, looking at the sleeping Shen Suan Zhenren.

He recalled the woman in Lujia Village who lost three daughters and eventually drowned herself in the river.

Lu Feng spoke as if possessed:

"You want to save your senior brother, but will he let you save him?"

Xue Lan paused slightly in her movements.

Lu Feng's words carried a clear cruelty:

"His favorite girl is gone, his most beloved junior brothers and sisters are gone... even his most respected master is gone... would he want to live?"

Xue Tong wanted to go up and grab Lu Feng's cheeky mouth.

No normal person would talk like that, okay?

The girl glanced nervously at Xue Lan, then saw Xue Lan smile slightly.

The woman's smile was both gentle and sorrowful, and her voice was hoarse, like the sobbing of the wind.

"He didn't want to."

The woman gathered icy spiritual energy at her fingertips and casually placed seals on several acupoints on Lu Feng's body to ensure that he wouldn't jump up in pain later.

Xue Lan took the last crimson demon core from the inner demon's hand and said:

"But it's not just Senior Brother Gong who's been infected by the demonic poison. The conflict between the human and demon races and the demon race is endless, and I have to make sure those who are fighting on the front lines have no worries about their families."

"Wanting Senior Brother Gong to live is my selfish desire, but there are many selfish desires and discontents in this world."

"A withered tree may bloom again in spring, but spring will never come; flowers may bloom and the moon may be full, but the moon will not be bright."

Lu Feng looked at Xue Lan with mixed feelings.

He had always thought that Xue Lan was omnipotent. With her status, there shouldn't be anything she couldn't do in the Yuanming Realm.

But now it seems that this senior master in name is not as powerful as he imagined.

She also had people she wanted to keep but couldn't, and selfish desires she wanted to fulfill but couldn't.

The young man was suddenly less afraid of Xue Lan, even though his life was still in this man's hands, and terrifying demonic energy was coursing through his meridians.

Lu Feng gently asked Xue Lan:

"Speaking of which, Uncle-Master, I've always had a question: why do you keep targeting me?"

Seeing that he still had the energy to talk, Xue Lan knew that her pain shielding was working well. The woman took out the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map and automatically recorded the flow of demonic energy in Lu Feng's meridians, closely monitoring the operation of the demonic core. Every wisp of demonic energy was under the woman's control.

Xue Lan gave Lu Feng a perfunctory reply:

"Because you are the chosen one of destiny by some irresistible being."

Xue Lan was telling the truth, but Lu Feng didn't believe her at all. The young man immediately spoke with self-deprecation.

"Am I the chosen one?"

"If I were the chosen one, would you have played me like this?"

Xue Lan looked at Lu Feng's body as if it were a finely crafted magical artifact, and upon hearing this, she smiled gently:

"You are truly a chosen one. If an ordinary person had their meridians built up like this and filled with demonic cores to allow demonic energy to circulate, they would probably be dead long ago."

Lu Feng looked at Xue Lan quietly: "Alright, then I'll consider myself the chosen one."

Why did you dare treat me like this?

Xue Lan gently raised her eyes to look at Lu Feng's divine sense:

"Because I am also a chosen one. Xiaotong, tell him!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Tong secretly transmitted her voice to Lu Feng: "If you have time, go and learn about the wolf chieftains of the Northern Region River. You'll find that you're nothing."

Lu Feng is a cheat-like character created by the Heavenly Dao under the pressure of the plot, while Xue Lan is a genius who slaps the plot in the face.

While Lu Feng, who was promoted by the Heavenly Dao, was dazzling, Xue Lan, who could die and come back to life despite being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, was even more terrifying.

"She also..." Lu Feng was utterly shocked:

"She really is the chief lord of the wolf clan of the Northern River." The young man was filled with resentment.

"Isn't it a bit too much of her to come down to the mortal realm and make things difficult for me?"

Xue Tong rolled her eyes at Lu Feng, her words cutting to the bone:

"Do you think too highly of yourself?"

"You think you're..."

"I understand! I understand!" Lu Feng shouted, interrupting Xue Tong.

"What am I that she would target me!"

Xue Tong nodded, revealing an expression that suggested he was a promising student.

"Don't give up on yourself. It's all about timing and fate."

It's all your fate, just accept it and stop struggling.

Let us continue to navigate the treacherous schemes of Lord Wolf.

Xue Lan didn't know what Xue Tong was thinking, but judging from the girl's expression, it didn't seem like anything good.

The woman ignored the two of them and focused intently on the demonic energy circulating within Lu Feng's body.

The Demon Transformation Pill requires the body of a high-ranking demon to be used in its preparation, so that the meridians through which demonic energy flows can be accurately simulated.

The higher the demon's level, the better the pill's effect. The Demon Transformation Pill that Xue Lan gave Lu Feng was the highest-grade one in the entire bottle.

"almost."

The cold voice of the inner demon reached her ears, and the woman in white watched as the demonic energy was about to invade Lu Feng's dantian:

“If this continues, your chosen one will die.”

Xue Lan watched the demonic energy gathering towards Lu Feng's dantian, a cold glint appearing in her eyes. A burst of pure fire erupted between the women, pressing directly against Lu Feng's waist, scorching the young man's dantian.

Lu Feng, who was lamenting his fate in mid-air, finally managed to cheer himself up, thinking that working for the Wolf Lord wasn't something to be ashamed of.

Then, turning his head, he saw Lord Wolf King wielding a strange fire in his hand...

The young man's consciousness trembled in mid-air, manifesting half a phantom image, before he stared at Xue Tong with shock in his eyes: "What is she doing?"

Xue Tong didn't know how to answer the young man, because she was also a little confused.

"Is she roasting me?" Lu Feng's voice trembled slightly as he slapped himself hard for letting his guard down.

"She wants to eat me!"

Xue Tong quickly shook her head: "She doesn't eat people."

Lu Feng: "Wolves eat people, but she's a wolf demon, so she eats cooked food."

Xue Tong was completely bewildered by Lu Feng's bizarre thought process and found herself unable to refute him.

"Wait a minute, let me ask for you."

Xue Lan used her strange fire to drive away all the demonic energy gathered next to Lu Feng's pill palace. When she turned her head, she saw Xue Tong's pair of bright eyes.

"What are you doing?" Xue Lan asked, backing away in fear.

"Have you finished your business?" Xue Tong asked with a strange smile.

"Almost there." Xue Lan glanced at the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map beside her. "Almost there. I can almost control the speed at which I transfer spiritual power. The demon clan's meridians are simpler than ours."

"Are you looking for me?"

"This..." Xue Tong rubbed her hands together: "Lu Feng said you wanted to eat him, so you're going to eat people?"

Xue Lan's expression froze:

"Did I just flip his brain?"

Xue Tong did not answer Xue Lan's question, but the inner demon who was watching the drama unfold spoke up.

"I think it's possible. Why don't you block out the pain sensation and let the child wake up?"

"That's it!"

Xue Tong looked at the Wolf King and gave him a rather sinister smile, then gently moved her fingers.

Not long ago, the few wisps of icy energy that Xue Lan had personally injected into Lu Feng's body were withdrawn from the woman's palm. The next instant, Lu Feng's faint spiritual shadow in mid-air screamed as it was pulled back into his body.

The young man lying on the ground suddenly opened his eyes and screamed:

"Xue Lan, didn't you say it wouldn't hurt?"

Xue Lan glanced at the inner demon opposite her, who had already extracted all the magic cores:

"I told you I'd make sure it wouldn't hurt when I activated the magic core." The Wolf King waved his hand dismissively.

"But the magic core has already been removed!"

Lu Feng tried to jump up and bite her, but he failed.

Xue Lan looked at the half-dead Chosen One under her command, and the smile on her face was impossible to hide.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Xue Lan raised her hand and patted Lu Feng's shoulder:

"Your ribs are out of alignment. Did you suffer some serious, incurable injury before?"

Lu Feng, who had been struggling, suddenly stopped moving. The young man pressed his face against the soft cloud beneath him and spoke in a cold voice:

"Back when I was a rogue cultivator, I was tricked and someone stabbed me in the heart with a sword. That's how I ended up like this."

Among independent cultivators, murder and robbery, life-or-death struggles are commonplace, and deception and treachery are everyday occurrences.

No sooner had the young man finished speaking than a sickening crunching sound was heard.

It didn't come from the outside, but from his own body.

The young man's voice was filled with utter terror:

"Uncle-Master, what are you doing?"

Xue Lan did not answer him immediately, but instead focused on circulating the spiritual energy at her fingertips to manipulate Lu Feng's bones, separating the meridians that had been intertwined.

When the woman felt around the young man's left chest, her expression darkened slightly.

She started rummaging through her sleeves, and Lu Feng heard a loud clanging sound.

The young man couldn't hold back any longer and asked again, "What exactly do you want?"

Xue Tong saw Xue Lan take out a pale blue stone from her sleeve. The strange fire mark between the woman's eyebrows appeared in an instant, and a soaring strange fire burst forth from the woman's palm, instantly burning the stone into a pale blue rib.

Xue Lan smiled gently and stuffed the jade rib into Lu Feng's chest cavity.

"I'm adjusting your bones." The woman's voice was light and airy, accompanied by a strange "creaking" sound that kept echoing in his mind, which made Lu Feng break out in a cold sweat.

He felt as if a huge beast was tearing at his flesh, causing all the veins in his body to tense uncontrollably.

Even though he was terrified, he still pretended to be calm and thanked Xue Lan:

"Thank you, Uncle Master."

"You're welcome, it's nothing." After fiddling with the last bone, Xue Lan took out a small green bottle from her sleeve.

The bottle contained half a bottle of clear liquid. Xue Lan gently shook it a few times, then uncorked it and poured it into Lu Feng's mouth.

"Awakening Spirit Dew, a miraculous medicine found in the warehouse of Wan Gong Fang. A single drop can bring the dead back to life and heal bones. I'm giving it all to you, so don't say I'm bullying you."

The sweet liquid quickly slid down the young man's throat and into his abdomen, the medicinal power spreading like a gentle breeze and fine rain into his limbs and bones.

With all his senses returning, Lu Feng slowly got up from the ground.

Once we got there, we realized something was wrong.

The young man raised his hand and pressed it against his left chest, groping around on it for a while in disbelief, before looking at Xue Lan with a look of astonishment:

"I have an extra bone?"

"Qian Kuiyu," Xue Lan said calmly, looking at the young man.

"Your heart meridian is damaged and you need something to protect it."

"Lu Feng".

Xue Lan stared intently into the young man's eyes: "In my plan, every piece must be flawless."
