CHAPTER 362: THE XUANYUAN TRIPLETS 2

"How is mother doing? Are her injuries healed?" Xuanyuan Yang asked.

"Feng Xue is fine. It’s just that she encountered an opportunity and went into seclusion to advance her cultivation." The double revealed.

"What’s Mother’s current cultivation realm?" Xuanyuan Yue asked in a worried voice.

"She will be a tribulation transcending realm cultivator when she comes out of seclusion."

"Does that mean her cultivation fell to the Mahayana realm?"

"Not exactly." Shen Xu said, looking at the three.

"Feng Xue sealed some memories in your sea of consciousness before she left. Those memories have the answers you want."

The triplets were shocked when they heard this.

However, they feigned calmness and continued to question Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan.

"We were doing fine when our mother left, but as you can see..." Xuanyuan Yang said and intentionally looked around the room.

"Our situation is not optimistic, and we can’t help with much. However, you are Mother’s friends, and we will help if we can."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yue and Xuanyuan Xing nodded.

"Just tell us if you need anything." Xuanyuan Yue said, and Shen Xu chuckled.

’Feng Xue raised them well.’ He thought, but his eyes suddenly turned solemn.

"I will check your pulse first." He said, and the three couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Check our pulse?" Xuanyuan Xing asked in a confused voice.

After all, Shen Xu was a spirit transformation realm cultivator.

Even if he was an alchemist, he couldn’t hope to treat them because their original cultivation was several realms higher than his.

"Who will go first?" Shen Xu insisted, and the three exchanged confused looks.

In the end, they silently decided that they had nothing to lose and nodded before Xuanyuan Xing extended his arm.

"I will go first." He said, and Shen Xu nodded.

A moment later, he placed two fingers on the person’s wrist and carefully took the double’s pulse.

An incense stick later, he removed his fingers and looked at Xuanyuan Yue.

Seeing the look, Xuanyuan Yue extended her arm, and Shen Xu took her pulse before doing the same for Xuanyuan Xing.

"How are we?" Xuanyuan Yue asked in an anxious voice.

Although they knew their condition was hopeless, they still held a little hope that someone would find a solution.

At this time, Shen Xu sighed, looked at the triplets and fell into thought.

Seeing this, the others didn’t disturb him, and a tense silence filled the air until the double began talking almost an hour later.

"You need six level eight pills to completely recover." He said, looking at Xuanyuan Xing.

"Six?" The triplets exclaimed, but suddenly frowned.

"Xing’er has taken all kinds of pills, but his soul injury has not healed." Xuanyuan Yue said, and Shen Xu nodded.

"It’s to be expected." He said and began explaining.

"The reason the soul injury has not healed is because he is infected with a soul-eroding worm."

"Soul eroding worm..." Xuanyuan Yue muttered, and her eyes suddenly widened.

"Why didn’t I think of it?" She angrily said and subconsciously hit the table.

"Sister, what’s a soul-eroding worm?" Xuanyuan Xing asked, and even Xuanyuan Yang looked curious.

"It’s a vicious worm that latches on a cultivator’s soul and slowly erodes it. It’s extremely hard to detect and..."

At this, the woman frowned and turned to Shen Xu.

"I have never heard of a method to kill the soul-eroding worm." She said, and Shen Xu chuckled.

"There is none." He said and quickly continued.

"However, problems exist to be solved. There may be no method of killing the soul-eroding worm, but there are pills for killing other worms. If we modify the recipe for the worm-dissolving pill, won’t it be just right to deal with the soul-eroding worm?"

Xuanyuan Yue shuddered when she heard this.

’Modify a soul-type recipe?’ She thought, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

She felt they had encountered a madman.

However, a part of her considered the possibility and realised the idea was feasible.

That said, she wasn’t confident that her talent was enough to modify the recipe.

Most importantly, soul-related materials were rare, and their situation did not allow them to do whatever they wanted.

Thinking of this, she sighed and looked at Shen Xu with a solemn expression.

"Even if we can somehow modify the recipe, we don’t have materials and an alchemist." She said and quickly continued.

"My meridians are damaged, so I can’t use qi to refine pills. I have been relying on soul power, but I am not confident to refine a level eight pill with just soul power."

Shen Xu nodded when he heard this.

"You don’t have to worry. I will refine the pill."

"You?" Xuanyuan Yue asked, looking at Shen Xu with a confused expression.

"You are not a spirit transformation realm cultivator." Xuanyuan Yang stated, and Shen Xu chuckled before nodding.

"We are not." He confirmed but didn’t reveal his and Zhen Yuan’s true cultivation.

Hearing this, the triplets were simultaneously hopeful and a little scared.

After all, if the two people wanted to harm them, they probably wouldn’t be able to protect themselves.

In the end, Xuanyuan Yue suppressed her discomfort and continued to question Shen Xu.

"What pills does Xing’er need?" She asked.

"The modified worm dissolving pill, a soul-weaving pill, a soul healing pill, a soul condensing pill, a soul cleansing pill, and a soul nourishing pill." The double said.

"This..." Xuanyuan Yue frowned.

She understood the logic of the six pills.

However, she and her siblings couldn’t afford one level eight pill, let alone six.

Seeing the triplet’s uneasy expressions, Shen Xu smiled and began talking.

"Feng Xue is family. She would not hesitate to risk her life for ours, so we will also not hesitate to do the same for her, let alone just spending some spirit stones and resources." The double said, and Zhen Yuan nodded.

At the same time, he took out three space rings and slid them across the table to the triplets.

"These are the meeting gifts we brought." He said.
