The Tong Palace was a bow, Xu Yourong's most powerful tool, and simultaneously the spatial artifact of Holy Maiden Peak. From a certain perspective, it was precisely like the Stainless Sword and Chen Changsheng.
At this moment, the Tong Palace was placed vertically over Chen Changsheng's chest, Xu Yourong's gaze attentively gazing at the place where they touched. With the light pluck of her finger, the bowstring vibrated with unimaginable speed, transforming into a blur of images simply impossible to catch with the naked eye, followed by a hum like the sound of a zither.
Chen Changsheng had bathed in Dragon blood, granting him a body comparable to that obtained from a perfect Purification. Ordinary weapons would find it impossible to breach his skin, but now, with the vibration of the bowstring, a tiny wound gradually opened up on his chest. This was most likely the principle of 'that which has no substance can penetrate the solid'.
(TN: The last line is from Chapter 43 of the ”Daodejing”.)
Of course, Xu Yourong would not allow his blood to flow out from that wound. With a light wave of her left hand, clear light spilled down and cut off the wound from the outside world. At the same time, with a thought, the true blood of the Heavenly Phoenix that was currently blazing on her wrist was extinguished, and any sense of that majestic strength vanished, making it seem just like water.
Her blood slowly flowed down the smooth surface of the bow. With the natural suction of the spatial artifact, the blood became an extremely thin line that entered Chen Changsheng's body through that wound.
After a long time had passed, she stopped and closed up Chen Changsheng's wound as quickly as possible. Her face was pale and she was very feeble, perhaps because she had lost too much blood.
However, she did not rest, because the treatment had not concluded. Raising her right hand, using the sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead, she gripped Chen Changsheng's hand, closed her eyes, and began to move her mind.
Relying on that inseverable and close connection between her and the Heavenly Phoenix true blood, her mind entered Chen Changsheng's body without any sort of obstruction. Carried along by the Heavenly Phoenix true blood, her thought traveled freely through his body, seeing those severed meridians and even bleaker sights.
Endless amounts of blood were incessantly flowing out of the fractures in his meridians and out of his body. In the space between his internal organs was his true blood, his soul contained within. For some reason, this true blood contained a seemingly infinite Qi of life. Although she did not truly sense, only saw it through her spiritual sense, although she was willing to offer her life to him, in that tiny instant, she sensed her spiritual world shuddering as she was overtaken by a fierce desire to plunder that Qi away.
Xu Yourong closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling and her face paling even more. Thankfully, the candied date she was sucking on soaked into her body and allowed her to safeguard her Dao heart, so no problems arose.
At this moment, the Heavenly Phoenix true blood had already dispersed to every part of Chen Changsheng's body. The seventy-two meridians, the three hundred and sixty-five Qi openings, and even the tiniest place, like the roots of pores—the blood was present everywhere.
This was the time.
With a flash of her thoughts, the Heavenly Phoenix true blood attached to those several meridians almost simultaneously began to blaze, several thousand tiny flames erupting within Chen Changsheng's body!
A second later, all the flames had been extinguished.
Other than a dull charred smell, there was no evidence to indicate just what had occurred.
She had placed a fire in Chen Changsheng's body and ignited a plain.
She had converted the Heavenly Phoenix true blood into the tiniest of particles and cauterized the fractures in those meridians, thus staunching the bleeding without harming the extremely thin walls of his meridians.
Xu Yourong opened her eyes and gazed at Chen Changsheng on the couch. After verifying that his injuries were finally under control, she finally relaxed. His seventy-two meridians had been bleeding from several thousand places, and now they had all been cauterized shut. He was no longer losing blood. At the very least, she did not have to worry that he would not be able to last the night.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets had judged that Chen Changsheng would not be able to survive precisely because an injury like his meridians being all ruptured could not be cured, especially when the Sacred Light technique could not be used. Who could have imagined that Xu Yourong would produce such a wild idea and display such a miraculous technique?
She had sent her Heavenly Phoenix true blood into Chen Changsheng's body. Not merely had this halted his internal bleeding, it also accomplished a similarly important goal: supplementing his blood.
There was no doctor at present that could choose this sort of method for supplementing blood. This was because blood was different from human to human, and different types of blood would conflict within a person's body and cause them to die even faster.
The Heavenly Phoenix true blood was naturally precious, but not everyone could bear it, because it had always been one of the world's most tyrannical true bloods. Even when she had used her mind to restrain all of its strength, the Qi it exuded on its own was still excessively tyrannical. More importantly, her blood had always been different from the other people of the world.
Chen Changsheng's blood was also different from the rest of the people in the world. His blood was the purest, containing the boundless energy of life, which was why in the Garden of Zhou, he was able to supplement Xu Yourong's blood. At present, Xu Yourong's blood had long since melded with his blood, so she could naturally supplement his blood.
Back then, he had persisted in saving her, and now, only she could save him. The reason was just that simple.

……
Zhexiu's legs had not been chopped off by the female disciples, nor had the miserable sight of rivers of blood appeared in front of the house. The reason was also very simple: Tang Thirty-Six was by his side.
”Nothing will happen to him, you don't need to worry,” he said to Zhexiu.
Zhexiu looked at him expressionlessly and said, ”You trust so much in Xu Yourong?”
Tang Thirty-Six replied, ”Even if the entire world wants to harm him, she will not.”
