The pace of the blue-robed celestial was hurried, her steps light but urgent, as though the weight of the world pressed upon her shoulders.

Despite her evident strength, it was clear she had not yet recovered to her peak condition.

Xiao Ming observed her with a calm demeanor, though the biting cold radiating from her form was nearly unbearable.

Her cultivation level was undoubtedly above the Houtian Realm, a fact that made it all the more surprising that someone of her caliber would be afflicted by something as insidious as Yin Mercury Poison.

"So, where are you headed now? I'd like to see if I can gather a few spiritual herbs to help restore your strength quickly," Xiao Ming asked, his voice steady as he caught up to her.

His tone was casual, but his eyes betrayed a flicker of concern.

The blue-robed girl paused, her icy gaze meeting his for a brief moment before she turned away.
