"You tell me, I need to think about it."
Ding Huan didn’t really want to save Ji Xinting, although Ji Xinting’s physical body was destroyed. Who knew if this guy had other tricks up his sleeve?
Ji Xinting’s tone became increasingly sincere:
"If I can recover my physical body, I want to become your disciple."
Ding Huan was stunned by his words; it took him a while before he could respond speechlessly:
"Lao Ji, are you feverish? I’m just a minor cultivator who has just entered the True Pill realm.
You are the strongest in the entire Triple Heaven Star Land, and you say you want to become my disciple? I wouldn’t dare accept even if you dare propose."
Although he said this, Ding Huan was trying to figure out what this guy was really thinking.
Ji Xinting tried to make his words easier for Ding Huan to accept:
"Mr. Ding, my body is now completely permeated with poison. I used to imagine whether it was possible to find a top-grade Spiritual Medicine to detoxify my body.
Such Spiritual Medicine exists, but if no one helps me find it, it’s pointless. I also know that even if someone was to look for it, they might not find it.
Before, I was hesitating whether to reconstruct my body or to seize another’s. But after sensing the Great Dao you cultivate, I made up my mind.
That is to start cultivation anew."
Ding Huan fell silent; he didn’t doubt Ji Xinting’s words.
If Ji Xinting could truly sense the aura of his Great Universe Technique, it was understandable that he would want to cultivate it.
Not to mention Ji Xinting, if he sensed the Great Universe Technique, which could merge the vast starry sky, he too would be covetous.
He just doubted whether he could save Ji Xinting.
Should he save him?
Ding Huan was conflicted. He had not seen many grateful people, but ungrateful ones abounded.
"Is there anyone who can remove all the poison from your body?" Ding Huan asked.
Ji Xinting was silent for a moment before saying:
"There is one person who can, but he won’t come to save me. And even if the poison is completely removed, it might be better to seize another body."
"What do you mean?" Ding Huan was confused.
"Because I will lose all my cultivation, which isn’t important since I am planning to restart my cultivation. The main issue is, all my meridians will be gone, leaving me even more useless than an ordinary person," explains Ji Xinting in a tone filled with unwillingness.
Ding Huan suddenly understood; he didn’t believe that Ji Xinting was deceiving him.
Even if he didn’t have the Great Universe Technique, being in this poison fog for such a long time would also cause his body’s meridians and acupoints to disappear, turning him into a being even more useless than a mortal.
But for the current him, that was irrelevant.
The Great Universe Technique was about creating everything; he could even use himself as the cosmos to forge his own Cosmic Avenue, which is the essence of the Great Universe Technique.
With Ji Xinting’s meridians and acupoints gone, he could simply modify the Great Universe Technique to create a branch that suits Ji Xinting for cultivating new meridians and acupoints.
With this in mind, Ding Huan no longer hesitated:
"Lao Ji, I have an idea that I want to share with you. If you’re willing, I can save you now."
"…" Ji Xinting was stunned by Ding Huan’s words.
After a while, he urgently transmitted his voice:
"Mr. Ding, please enlighten me."
Ding Huan said:
"I know a Forbidden Technique that could help detoxify your body and get you out of this predicament. As you said, you’ll turn into a wreck without meridians and acupoints, even Dantian and Sea of Consciousness would cease to exist…"
Ji Xinting sighed through spiritual transmission:
"In that case, surviving and being nailed here, there’s no difference. You might as well take my Primordial Spirit to find a suitable body for possession."
Ding Huan said indifferently:
"Let’s not talk about whether you can find a suitable host for possession. Even if you find one, can you be sure that the person you possess can withstand the poison contained in your Primordial Spirit?
How long have you been pinned here? Your physical body is entirely composed of poison, let alone your Primordial Spirit."
Ji Xinting was startled, yes, if his Primordial Spirit is also permeated with this poison, who could he possess?
At this moment, he suddenly realized, being in the state of a Primordial Spirit, he simply could not remove the poison from the body of his possession target.
In this case, isn’t he doomed?
Ding Huan continued:
"The cultivation technique I practice isn’t suitable for you, but I can create a cultivation technique for you. This technique would be modeled after my own, with the cosmos as the foundation.
One thing I can tell you is, it won’t be much worse than my own technique. Would you be willing to learn it?"
"You can create cultivation techniques?" Ji Xinting was shocked by Ding Huan’s words.
"Didn’t you see it already?" Ding Huan replied naturally.
In Ji Xinting’s heart, a storm surged again; he had always thought he was the most talented.
Now he realized that compared to Ding Huan, he was nothing.
His strength might be great, and he was cultivating the Sect’s handed-down techniques. To create his own cultivation technique, he wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.
Ding Huan was cultivating his self-created technique, and moreover, this technique was definitely stronger than the techniques passed down by his Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so eager to begin anew with Ding Huan’s technique.
Seeing Ji Xinting no longer speaking, Ding Huan spoke again,
"My own Cultivation Technique cannot be practiced by you because it only suits me for cultivation. It’s like I created a Cultivation Technique just for you, which would also only suit you."
In this world, there actually existed such a remarkable person.
Ji Xinting was really at a loss for words. Had he been able to speak or move, he would have already prostrated himself in admiration.
"Master, I agree, please help me."
What other thoughts could Ji Xinting have? He agreed to Ding Huan’s words very decisively.
Ding Huan said,
"Before I save you, take out that Magical Treasure that stores Poison Fog. I need to refine it first. The toxins I extract from your body, I intend to store in this spatial Magical Treasure."
"Clatter!" A round pearl fell at Ji Xinting’s feet, its surface dark red, and it was unclear what material it was made of.
"Master, this is the Big Universe Pearl, which I acquired by chance. To this date, I have only refined three layers of its Prohibition."
"Good, thanks."
With a sweep of his Divine Will, the Big Universe Pearl fell into his hands. Even with his Divine Will, he could not penetrate it.
"Wait for me a few days, I need to refine this Big Universe Pearl," said Ding Huan as his Divine Will rested on the Big Universe Pearl.
The first three Layers of Prohibition of the Big Universe Pearl had in fact been refined by Ji Xinting, but now he lacked the strength to remove the Prohibition from the Big Universe Pearl.
Ding Huan had to start from scratch to refine the Big Universe Pearl.
The first day passed, and Ding Huan hardly grasped where the Prohibition of the Big Universe Pearl was located.
He felt deeply moved; had he not advanced to the Star Storage level, he would probably be unable to refine the Big Universe Pearl in a short time.
Ten days passed, and Ding Huan barely refined the first layer of the Prohibition.
A vast space, murky like a sea of smoke, appeared beneath Ding Huan’s Divine Will.
Ding Huan was greatly shocked. He had only refined the first layer of Prohibition.
What would the size of the space inside be once he had refined the entire Big Universe Pearl?
"I have refined the first layer of Prohibition. Now, I’ll remove the Fei Yan Sword and then detoxify you."
Ding Huan’s Divine Will rested on the Fei Yan Sword.
Ji Xinting was not surprised that Ding Huan was able to refine a layer of Big Universe Pearl in ten days.
Ding Huan could set up a fifth-level Array and possessed such formidable Daoist Skill talent. What was ten days to refine the first layer of Prohibition of the Big Universe Pearl?

"Master, if you can take away the Fei Yan Sword and store it, just store it directly. If you can’t store it, just leave it be."
Ji Xinting was worried that Ding Huan might end up like him, hence the reminder.
Ding Huan didn’t need Ji Xinting’s reminder to understand what it meant.
Such an Immortal Sword must possess pride. If the Immortal Sword doesn’t accept you and you try to force it to recognize a master, the result would only be the same as Ji Xinting’s fate.
Only a person regarded by the Immortal Sword can make it willingly recognize them as a master.
Honestly, Ding Huan didn’t really care.
He was not a cultivator who relied on Sword Dao treasures; why should he care about an Immortal Sword?
The Yellow Flower Kill swirled, transforming into invisible vortexes of deadly force.
Next moment, the Fei Yan Sword emitted bursts of humming, soon swept up by the lethally spinning vortex induced by the Yellow Flower Kill, then landed in Ding Huan’s hands.
Ding Huan was stunned. Was it that simple?
Seeing the Fei Yan Sword in his hands still making a clear hum, Ding Huan knew that the Fei Yan Sword actually acknowledged him quite exceptionally.
"Master, it seems this Immortal Sword acknowledges you greatly. It must have originally belonged to you."
Due to the removal of the Fei Yan Sword, Ji Xinting’s entire body collapsed onto the ground.
"Indeed, it’s a fine sword." Ding Huan caressed the Fei Yan Sword in his hands, feeling immensely delighted.
Although he wouldn’t regret if the Fei Yan Sword had gone away, now that it hadn’t, his heart naturally leapt with joy.
This trip to Hidden Sword Mountain truly reaped a great reward.
Storing away the Fei Yan Sword, Ding Huan did not hesitate this time and knelt beside Ji Xinting, extending a finger to touch between Ji Xinting’s eyebrows.
The endless toxins in Ji Xinting’s body, under the Detoxification Cycle of the Great Universe Technique, found an outlet from Ding Huan, swirling as they all surged into the eyebrow.
Then with a motion from Ding Huan’s hand, these toxins were all transferred by him into the Big Universe Pearl.
Feeling the toxins in his body transforming into streams of poison that Ding Huan drew away, Ji Xinting was more than shocked.
He affirmed that Ding Huan’s technique was stronger than the First Poison Demon of Triple Heaven, Jia Baihe, and not just by a little bit.
Previously, when he took Ding Huan as his master, it was wholly because he had taken an interest in the Cultivation Technique Ding Huan practiced.
Now, he felt that even if it were not for that technique, Ding Huan qualified as his master in other respects too.
Removing the toxins from Ji Xinting’s body was truly no difficult feat for Ding Huan.
While detoxifying, he even felt too idle.
With a sweep of his Divine Will, the poison fog within nearly a hundred miles was drawn by his Divine Will and all of it directed into the Big Universe Pearl.
Half a day later, Ding Huan stopped drawing the poison fog, and Ji Xinting’s dark body also reverted to its normal appearance.
However, Ding Huan was well aware that, at this moment, Ji Xinting had lost all his cultivation. Within his body, not a single vein remained, nor a single acupuncture point.
