Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 037 - Old Contact

The first step Yao Han took was to flow the Qi of the wood element and water. Yunzi felt his body more powerful and light than before.

"If you feel pain, try to endure it." Yunzi nodded slowly.

Yao Han took a deep breath and then started using the Poison God Technique, draining his Qi to eliminate all the poison contained within Yunzi's body.

'It... Brother She's Poison God Technique!' Houyi's eyes widened and his breathing briefly stopped. It took a while for Houyi to recognize the technique Yao Han used. 'How can this kid do it?!' Houyi was unaware he had forgotten Yao Han's message to not be surprised.

Houyi was no stranger to this one technique because he had a close relationship with She Yutian, the Poison Gate as well as the former Great Elder of the Poison Heart Valley.

That said, Houyi was a person from a neutral stream who was almost completely neutral. He established a good relationship with any sect of flow cultivators. For the black stream, he was closer to the Valley of the Poison Heart, specifically She Yutian.

Houyi's closeness to Yutian was like a brother because of the many matches between the two. Several times with power. From their friendship, Houyi recognized the Poison God Technique and was helped several times using this technique.

Now, the second child also gets help with the same technique.

'Senior Disciple Feng is truly mysterious. How could he have mastered poison techniques when Senior Feng himself was an alchemist not a poison master? Although the two sciences are related, still...' Then a wild thought flashed across her mind, 'Don't...'

Yunzi frowned as she felt pain, but she refrained from complaining. Slowly, the look on Yunzi's face became better and the pale on his face disappeared.

The process lasted about half an hour and ended when Yunzi released black-colored gas from his mouth and nose. Yao Han pulled both of his hands from Yunzi's back and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Done... Congratulations little brother, you're fully healed."

"Dad, I'm cured-!" Yunzi jumped up in excitement and walked over to Houyi. His body feels very light. The father-son couple embraced each other happily.

"Han-gee! Thanks for helping me, you're a real savior!" Yunzi hugged Yao Han tightly.

"Together." Yao Han gently rubbed Yunzi's back.

"Young man, thank you very much for your help.but can I ask one more favor?"

"Say, Uncle."

"Did you also have a way to deal with Yunzi's blocked meridian?"

"It's..."

Yao Han glanced at Feng Xian. As he remembered the process of opening and cleaning the meridian tissue was a complicated process and according to Meirong, it could only be helped by some kind of pill.

Yao Han himself had never cleared his meridians because the golden lightning that first struck him, as well as the lightning that appeared as he underwent body forging training helped him to this.

"Why did you see me? Without me intervening, you should be able to do it, right?" Feng Xian sneered thinly.

Yao Han scratched his head slowly, he glanced at Houyi whose gaze seemed to be putting great expectations on him.

"Uncle Bing, little sister.please wait a minute."

Yao Han moved away and sat in meditation near Meirong and Yutian who had been silently watching from the start. After a while, Yao Han approached back.

Yao Han said he could help. Then he asked Houyi to remove the ice covering Yunzi's internal organs.

"Little sister, swallow the liquid in this bottle." Yao Han took out a glass bottle containing a drop of clear liquid that was none other than Fenix's tears from Meirong.

Without asking much, Yunzi said. His body temperature increased slowly.

"Han-gege, why is my body hot?" Yunzi thought his illness was coming back.

After which, Yao Han made a simple hand spell. Instantly Qi was emitting from his entire body.

'Qi this kid is so strong.' Not because of seeing the golden blue Qi, but rather Houyi was more surprised by Yao Han's Qi strength due to his high purity level.

Using his understanding of the meridian network through the Book of Heavenly Stars and all the knowledge from his three teachers, Yao Han channeled his Qi to clear Yunzi's meridians.

The process took about an hour and after it was finished, Yunzi's eyes and body shone bluish.

From Yao Han's previous examination, he found out that Yunzi was a cultivation genius because he had two elemental spirit roots, namely wind and water.

He handed over a record containing breathing methods suitable for aspiring cultivators whose talents were like Yunzi. This method was derived from the Book of Heavenly Stars.

"Xiao Han, this is a miracle for us... You're too good to give up this practice." Houyi was not offended by Yao Han's giving.

"Uncle don't hesitate. Consider this a memento of me."

Houyi was in a dilemma, he appreciated Yao Han's giving, but it was already an exaggeration since Yao Han had given two great favors to his son.

"I owe you a great debt, Xiao Han. Ah no, the Northern Ice Fortress as a whole owes you."

"Uncle is too shy. I'm also happy to be able to help Yunzi's sister." Yao Han smiled.

"Don't go home, Ice King. Someone wants to meet you," Feng Xian said.

"Senior Mean?"

Right after Houyi asked, the two spirit beasts that had been silent, moved closer. Meirong flew and alighted on Yao Han's right shoulder, while Yutian wrapped around his left hand.

"Those are what I mean." Feng Xian pointed at Meirong and Yutian.

Houyi found it difficult to digest Feng Xian's words, whereas Yunzi felt that Feng Xian was strange and was probably losing his mind.

"Bing Brother, long time no see..."

Houyi held his breath, his heart pounding. He was not surprised by the spirit beast that was able to speak like a human when it reached the Core Realm, but the male voice of the jade snake.

"The voice of this serpent is like the one I knew..."

Houyi looked at Yao Han and Feng Xian alternately as if asking for an explanation, especially the snake called him Brother Bing.

"Bing Brother, can you also recognize my voice?" This time a woman's melodious voice was heard coming from the Phoenix.

Houyi felt like he had heard a voice from the Phoenix, but did not recognize it right away. What made him frown deeply was the call of the two spirit beasts to him which was as if the two were close to him.

"It seems that you like to confuse others" Feng Xian said, "Hurry to change."

Meirong and Yutian laughed softly, then both bodies glowed brightly and their forms changed.

Two human figures were standing to the left and right of Yao Han. Their parasites startled Houyi until he stood up and exclaimed. Yunzi opened her mouth wide. This was the first time he had seen a spirit animal change into a human being.

"Brother She! Sister Hong! Y-You're still alive!"

"Yes that's how it is. The story is a little long."
