Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1280 - 1277_1

Master Yunfa chanted spells while sprinkling symbols in the air over the ancient sword.

Shangguan Xuanyi, standing nearby, faintly noticed a beam of golden light traversing the sword at great speed.

Once Master Yunfa finished, he pointed two fingers at the sword, and a golden glow covered the entire blade.

"Done!" Master Yunfa sheathed the ancient sword and placed it back on the antique shelf.

"Thank you, Master Yunfa." Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at the ancient sword on the antique shelf, deciding in his heart that he would stow it away once Master Yunfa left.

Seemingly perceptive to Shangguan Xuanyi’s thoughts, Master Yunfa advised, "Prince, if you do not wish to keep this ancient sword, you can send it to a place where incense is plentiful. The negative energy and aura can be slowly washed away there."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Yunfa." Generally, once people know that something is ominous, even if it is resolved, they wouldn’t want to display it in their home. It’s a psychological shadow.

Shangguan Xuanyi, as a single man, was not afraid, but he did not live alone, he had a wife and children! So, better let it be!

Master Yunfa approached the bed, observing Xiao’er without uttering a word.

"Master Yunfa, how is my wife?" Shangguan Xuanyi could not help but ask.

"Her soul is gravely injured and is in deep sleep." The soul of Princess Rui was alien to her own body, hence, she was almost deprived of her soul by her own martial uncle, wasn’t she?

Master Yunfa took out a jade vial and handed it to Shangguan Xuanyi, "First, let Princess Rui consume this."

At this moment, Xi’er rushed in, snatching the vial out of Master Yunfa’s hand, "Master Yunfa, is this a soul-reviving pill? I have never seen one before! Let me take a look first!"

After snatching the vial, Xi’er promptly uncorked it, poured out the pill and curiously examined it.

Actually, she was checking the elixir for any poison!

Xi’er was the one Yang Liu had invited over.

Once Yang Liu learned that Master Yunfa came, she anticipated that he would offer the soul-reviving pill to Xiao’er.

Although Master Yunfa was renowned worldwide, who could guarantee that the elixir he provided was safe to consume! Thus, she had hastily invited Xi’er.

Master Yunfa merely nodded, "Precisely."

Shangguan Xuanyi also fixated his gaze on the pill in Xi’er’s hand. It appeared similar to the one he had stolen from Gong Qinghua, with strands of green light swirling around it.

"Master Yunfa, could you tell me what ingredients are used to concoct the soul-reviving pill?"

Upon hearing the query, Master Yunfa did not evade it and listed a string of medicinal herbs. He additionally mentioned, "The ingredients of the soul-reviving pill are not the most crucial aspect. What is most essential is that it needs to be processed using ancient spells. Otherwise, the elixir prepared this way would remain ineffective."

An injury of the soul was beyond the scope of mundane herbs!

Treatment for such was magic.

"Is the green light inside the result of a spell?"

"You could say that." Actually, the light indicated the vitality that the spell bestowed upon the elixir. The spell itself was invisible.

"Amazing! I also know how to concoct elixirs, but I don’t understand magic. Master Yunfa, could you teach me?"

"Are you interested in converting to Buddhism?"

Converting to Buddhism? If she were to agree, her parents would probably kill her! Thinking along these lines, Xi’er immediately said, "I was joking."

Master Yunfa chuckled without uttering a word.

Everyone in this world was bound by fate! Not everyone was destined to follow the path of Buddhism.

After ensuring through her unique method that the pill was non-toxic, Xi’er declared, "Let me feed the medicine to my sister!"

"Miss Xi’er, give the pill to me first. Let me crush it," suggested the servant. Otherwise, how could the unconscious princess swallow such a large pill.

"That’s not necessary, just directly feed it to her, the pill will melt as soon as it enters her mouth." Since the pill was specifically made for those whose souls were injured, naturally, it would also account for the possibility of unconscious individuals who cannot eat.

"Let me do it!" Shangguan Xuanyi sat beside the bed, carefully propping Xiao’er up against his shoulder. He gently opened her mouth and placed the pill inside. As expected, the pill vanished as soon as it contacted her mouth.

Everyone watched Xiao’er anxiously.

But Xiao’er remained unresponsive.

"Master Yunfa, how long will it take for my sister to wake up after taking the pill?"

"Please be patient, just wait a little longer."

After saying this to Xi’er, Master Yunfa again addressed Shangguan Xuanyi, "Please lay down the princess on the bed, now I need to perform a ritual on her!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi gently placed Xiao’er back onto the bed, and stepped aside.

Master Yunfa, standing next to Xiao’er, started chanting spells while sketching symbols in the air.

Nobody understood the spell he was chanting or the symbols he was drawing.

As he continuously chanted and randomly sketched in the air using his two fingers, upon pointing at Xiao’er’s forehead, a beam of golden light transferred from Master Yunfa’s fingertip, swiftly entering Xiao’er’s forehead.

Continuing his previous actions, beams of golden light successively entered Xiao’er’s chest, palm, and sole.

Finally, Master Yunfa retracted his hand, while his face turned considerably pale, appearing translucent for a moment, although this state vanished rapidly.

Everyone was too engrossed in Xiao’er to notice this.

Shangguan Xuanyi, noticing Master Yunfa’s unusual state out of the corner of his eye, asked, "Master Yunfa, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, just need to rest a bit." This was due to him overusing his magic power, causing a transient loss of mental strength.

Any matter concerning the soul was extremely consuming of both magical and mental power.

Princess Rui was injured by Gu Xuan using all of his lifelong cultivation! When Gu Xuan injured Princess Rui, he probably knew that his demise was inevitable. He even collided his soul with hers, using ancient spells to destroy her space. Hence, Master Yunfa manifested in such a state.

Upon hearing Master Yunfa’s words, Yang Liu immediately brought a chair for him, "Master Yunfa, please rest."

Master Yunfa did not refuse, he sat down and began to meditate and recover.

Xi’er wanted to inquire when Xiao’er would wake up, but seeing Master Yunfa in a state of exhaustion, she refrained from disturbing him.

Shangguan Xuanyi, sitting by the bed, stared at Xiao’er without blinking an eye.

A shallow layer of golden light shrouded Xiao’er, the light moving to and fro across her body. When the golden glow eventually dwindled and disappeared, Xiao’er’s fingers twitched, followed by her eyeball.

"Girl!" Shangguan Xuanyi immediately noticed her movements and clasped her hand, holding back his excitement and called out softly.

Xi’er, seeing this, also leaned closer, "Sister!"

Xiao’er slowly opened her eyes.
