_______________________

Sun Zhongjing was unaware of Qian Renxue's inner struggle at this time. He was concentrating on removing the poison from Emperor Xue Ye. After all, it was quite difficult to extract all the poison without hurting his fragile body.

This guy's body has been corroded by chronic viruses for many years, and it is as fragile as a centenarian. If it weren't for his soul power, anyone else would have died long ago.

What's worse is that because it has been so long, the poison has become too deeply entangled with his body and has even become a part of the system that supports the functioning of his body.

Therefore, what Sun Zhongjing had to do was not just to extract the toxins, he also had to help regulate his body, and make up for the missing parts after the poison was extracted with other parts of his body…commonly known as "taking down the east wall to repair the west wall"!

Of course, with the current medical level in this world, no one would know about this kind of microscopic manipulation of the body, and no one would know how perfunctory his treatment was.

If Sun Zhongjing really wanted to cure Emperor Xue Ye, he could use the power of the "Plague God" to cleverly transform the poison in his body into beneficial viruses that are harmless to the human body, just like the symbiotic bacteria that naturally exist in the human body. Let these originally deadly viruses, in turn, become his helpers and restore his body to health.

The reason why he didn't do this was purely because he was lazy. In addition, he naturally had no good feelings towards this kind of feudal emperor, so he simply helped him to adjust his body and was perfunctory. Anyway, they couldn't see the tricks in it.

At this time, in the eyes of others.

Emperor Xue Ye was floating in the air, emitting a hazy white light. Sun Zhongjing had a solemn expression on his face, and he kept waving his hands in the air, releasing wisps of gray mist that poured into various parts of his body. It seemed that he was performing some extremely delicate operation.

Slowly, the pale face of Emperor Xue Ye, who was suspended in the air, gradually turned rosy, and his weak breath gradually became strong… Finally, with a light shout from Sun Zhongjing, he slapped the air!

With a bang.

It sounded like a balloon exploding.

A stream of colorful smoke gushed out from the chest of Emperor Xue Ye. As the strange smoke gushed out, he exhaled a long breath, and the expression on his face was extremely comfortable at this moment. It was as if the toxins that had been accumulated in his body for many years were all flowing away with the outflow of the smoke. He felt relieved.

And the colorful smoke that surged out of his chest seemed to have some unique spirituality, swirling and gathering into a ball the size of a fist.

This ball of colorful smoke finally slowly fell on Sun Zhongjing's open palm. At the same time, the nine oppressive red soul rings around his body disappeared, returning to normal. Then he clenched his palm, and the smoke dissipated with a puff. It was unknown whether it was absorbed into the body or destroyed.

Emperor Xue Ye also slowly fell back onto the soft big bed.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, his face was rosy, and his breathing was steady and strong. There was no trace of his previous appearance of being terminally ill or overindulging like a drug addict.

Slowly opening his eyes, Emperor Xue Ye felt as if he had been reborn. Not only was his breathing smoother, but even the air felt sweeter.

He jumped up and sat up from the bed.

"This feeling… I have reached level 70!"

Emperor Xue Ye suddenly said with a look of surprise.

He felt the lightness of his body, as if he was decades younger. The most amazing thing was that he could feel his soul power breaking through to level one. You know, due to his limited qualifications, his soul power level has not been improved for more than ten years.

Originally, his soul power was level 69, but due to his limited aptitude, he could not break through the critical level no matter what method he used. He could only be stuck at the peak of Soul Emperor, just one level away from Soul Saint. However, it was like a chasm in the sky, blocking him from the door of Soul Saint.

He thought he would never be able to break through in my lifetime, but he never thought that he could break through this critical level because of a detoxification. His current level is already level 70. He can obtain spirit rings at any time and become a powerful high-level spirit master!

"Your Majesty, congratulations." Sun Zhongjing, who was standing next to him, saw that he was in a daze and naturally knew why he was in a daze, so he said with a smile.

As for why Emperor Xue Ye was able to break through to the first level of soul power, it was actually very easy to understand. The reason why he had been unable to break through for a long time was not because of insufficient soul power, but mainly because of the blockage of certain meridians and acupoints, which made the soul power in the body flow poorly, and naturally he could not break through. When he helped him regulate his body just now, he also straightened out this part of the meridians.

Now that breaking through level 70 is a natural progression.

However, clearing his meridians cannot turn him into a peerless genius. Soul Sage is already the martial soul qualification of Emperor Xue Ye, and it is the limit that can be achieved through "normal practice".

If he wanted to break through the limitations of his aptitude, he would have to obtain the immortal grass to improve his aptitude. Or he could use other methods, such as fusing a high-quality soul bone that was extremely compatible with his martial soul, which might change his fate. Otherwise, he could just forget about it.

In addition, during the treatment just now, because of the relationship of taking money from one place to pay for another, the root was damaged. So although Emperor Xue Ye is in very good health now, his life span has actually been greatly reduced.

Originally, according to Sun Zhongjing's estimate, his normal lifespan was about 96 years old. Now, he can only live to his early 70s at most, and then he will begin to age rapidly and die in a short time. Unless he can break through the Title Douluo, it is possible to significantly extend his lifespan. But this is obviously impossible.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency, for your help!"

Emperor Xue Ye came back to his senses from his daze, then looked at Sun Zhongjing, stood up from the bed and bowed deeply.

Sun Zhongjing accepted his gift calmly without dodging. Although he had just been perfunctory in treating him, if it weren't for him, he would have died in no more than three months given his physical condition. So he had a clear conscience on this point alone.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The middle-aged man next to him also quickly offered his blessings.

"Congratulations, father, you got what you wanted." Qian Renxue calmed down and pretended to be happy for him. But she was extremely worried at the moment. At the same time, she was also a little scared!

Because she always felt that the old man in front of her, who had stepped half a step into the god level, might have seen through her disguise a long time ago. It was just that for some reason, he saw through it but didn't say it out loud.

This made Qian Renxue feel very irritated, as if things were out of control. This was terrible!
