Chapter 73: Three-point Return
A light breeze blew through the streets and alleys, and the air seemed to have the smell of muddy water from the Yellow River waves, which filled into the carriage.

The surrendered minister frowned slightly and lowered the curtain.

"You ever met me?"

Then, she saw that the poison that had spread to Xiao Yan's neck was now nowhere to be found.

"wrong."

She immediately stepped forward and tore open Xiao Yan's clothes. She saw that the murderous energy that had almost invaded his body began to slowly retreat towards the palm print on his right chest.

In the rather evil peach blossom eyes, the pupils first shrank and then expanded.

Then, her jade fingers instantly rested on Xiao Yan's wrist. The next moment, she shook off the latter's hand, and a look of suspicion appeared on her beautiful face.

"How did you do it?"

Xiao Yan coughed slightly, but felt his heart beating heavily. He laughed and said, "What I wrote for Corpse Ancestor is not fake."

Jiang Chen raised his eyes and then lifted his chin with his pink-painted nails.

"You are just a middle-level person, and you dare to speak so arrogantly?"

Xiao Yan turned his head away and said, "Although my people have not found the Corpse Ancestor in Xuanduwu, they have brought my letter. Since the Corpse Ancestor is willing to show up in Luoyang, he must have been moved."

"To be honest, I came all the way to Luoyang, and I was disappointed. But seeing that you were able to break the defense of the Hades Emperor with your mid-level skills, I am indeed a little relieved..."

The surrendered minister thought for a moment and pointed out a fingernail.

"A little bit of interest."

Then, she sat cross-legged opposite Xiao Yan.

This action seemed quite frivolous, but when it was done on her, it made her look graceful and beautiful.

"Tell me, how did you know where Xuanduwu is? And it's best to tell the truth..."

"I learned it from the Marshal."

"Heh, Marshal, which one is bigger..." Jiang Chen's voice froze instantly, and then he suddenly frowned and stared at Xiao Yan, as if he wanted to see through him.

Although the latter still looked pale, he was calm.

Then, Jiang Chen covered his mouth and laughed awkwardly, "Since he is the commander-in-chief, it is not surprising."

She felt a little uncomfortable, turned her feet and said, "You are quite capable. In my ten years of life, I have seen many monsters and demons. You are an anomaly in the middle-level ranks."

"More than ten years?"

Seeing that Xiao Yan's attention was elsewhere, Jiang Chen tapped his knee with his fingernails and frowned in dissatisfaction: "Hey, is this the point?"

"Please continue, Corpse Ancestor."

"I just checked your pulse and it was very disordered, with your qi colliding with each other. Although you have used some secret method to absorb and suppress the evil spirit, there is one thing we both know: you can't hold on for long."

Jiang Chen clasped his hands together and gently placed them on his knees, his beautiful eyes moving, "Besides, the so-called yin and yang conflict. If you want to suppress the evil spirit that has entered your body, you need to consume a huge amount of pure yang internal energy. But you are clearly only a middle-level rank, which is quite strange."

Seeing her sparkling peach blossom eyes looking straight at him, Xiao Yan did not cover it up and explained her doubts with a cough: "I have practiced a skill called 'Three-point Return to Origin Qi'. I have gained a lot of understanding in recent years. It can make the inside and outside complement each other, and the three elements practice together, so that it can naturally become a great power, and the internal force will be endless."

The surrendered minister was surprised for a moment, and quickly searched his mind, reading through all the martial arts techniques he had read over the past hundred years, but it seemed as if he had no impression of them at all.

However, although she had never heard of the three parts returning to the original qi, she could understand what Xiao Yan meant by the "three origins". They were the original essence, original qi and original spirit, which were the three parts of the human body. If the essence was exhausted, the qi leaked and the spirit left, the person would die.

And it was the first time she heard the concept of the Three Elements Returning to One from Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, she looked him up and down with her charming eyes.

"According to what you said, your pure Yang internal energy is inexhaustible?"

"It can be understood in this way."

Jiang Chen began to ponder, but she did not hide the fact that her appetite had been aroused, and then she began to calculate with her fingers in front of Xiao Yan.

"How old are you now?" Xiao Yan hesitated and said, "Seventeen."

"Where does your pure yang internal force come from?"

"It was created from heaven and earth."

Jiang Chen raised his round chin, "But the night before yesterday, I saw you fighting with the Dark Emperor, but there was no method, and the pure Yang internal force you used seemed to come out of thin air..."

Xiao Yan didn't explain further. He crossed his legs and placed his palms on his knees.

Then, indigo light began to appear at his fingertips and gradually spread to his entire palm.

But the result was that his eyes, one blue and one black, began to turn completely dark, and the evil spirit between his neck began to spread upwards again.

The surrendered minister did not try to stop her, but simply tilted his cheek, gently supporting it with his fingers, and watched with interest.

In her sight, the indigo light finally began to emit a dark light with evil spirits. However, the moment the dark light appeared, Xiao Yan's breath almost suddenly became disordered, but soon, more and more pure yang internal force surged up and enveloped him.

After a while, the two sides were finally evenly matched, with each controlling half of the territory in Xiao Yan's hands.

Xiao Yan's face was pale, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead. He raised his eyes and stared into Jiang Chen's unblinking eyes.

After a moment, Jiang Chen looked around with her beautiful eyes. Although one hand was still supporting her cheek, several silver needles had already shot out from between her other fingers and hit Xiao Yan's chest.

The spreading evil spirit stopped immediately, Xiao Yan's aura also instantly eased, and the violent internal force between his palms dissipated almost instantly.

Jiang Chen crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees again, straightened his body, and looked down at Xiao Yan with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

"very good."

"I am very interested in you."

…………

Ji Ruxue finally reached an agreement with the shopkeeper and walked out with the waiter who was going to take care of the carriage.

She raised her head slightly, squinted her eyes, and looked at the dazzling light reflected between the rolling clouds in the sky.

But unfortunately, the sun did not appear today.

She stroked the hilt of the sword in the scabbard, pursed her lips, and lifted the curtain.

"Girl, you can check in now..."

Inside, Jiang Chen came out and walked straight past her.

"This kid is quite capable. Your eyes are saved. Oh, no..." Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head and whispered, "If you are willing, I can exchange it for something else."

Ji Ruxue just trembled her lips, stiffened her body, and stared blankly into the car.

The surrendered minister felt bored and walked into the inn with his hands behind his back, "Don't forget my medicine box, bring it in with you."

Inside the carriage, Xiao Yan removed the silver needles from his chest one by one, raised his head and smiled weakly.

"Thank you."

Ji Ruxue lowered her head, holding back the tears that were about to leak out due to excitement, and then turned around, her expression was completely cold.

"It's good that you're not dead."

Xiao Yan smiled and stretched out his hand, "Help me, I'm exhausted and can't walk."

The girl bit her lip and reached out to pull him over, but her movements seemed cold, but in fact they were very gentle. She supported Xiao Yan, let him lean on her shoulder, and entered the inn.

"By the way, I'll forge a sword for you someday. I know a good place to compensate you."

"Ah."

　Please give me a ticket~
