Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370: Lending a Helping Hand

The dozens of Innate Experts present watched as Yu Wei writhed and rolled on the ground, screaming and crying out incessantly, imagining the agony of ten thousand ants devouring his heart at this moment. Each of them turned pale, overcome by fear.

They all knew that the poison of the "Heart-Eroding Pill" inside Yu Wei’s body had begun to rapidly take effect. Within the next hundred breaths, Yu Wei’s suffering would multiply exponentially until death claimed him.

And before long, the poison of the "Heart-Eroding Pill" within their own bodies would also begin to act, and their pain would be no less torturous than Yu Wei’s.

"Sigh..."

The white-haired elder let out a long sigh, shutting his eyes tightly, unable to bear seeing Yu Wei’s pained expression any longer.

The other Innate Experts also looked dejected, turning their heads away in succession.

However, unexpectedly, after only a dozen breaths, Yu Wei’s screams did not grow louder but gradually weakened and ultimately ceased altogether.

Perplexed, the white-haired elder turned abruptly to see Fang Bai standing next to Yu Wei at some point. Yu Wei, on the other hand, sat cross-legged, his expression serene, his breathing steady—like an old monk in meditation.

At this moment, not a trace of suffering could be seen on Yu Wei’s face. He appeared as normal as any ordinary person, a stark contrast to the agony that had possessed him earlier.

"This..."

The white-haired elder and the dozens of Innate Experts behind him gaped at Yu Wei in sheer disbelief.

In the past, the white-haired elder and the others had personally witnessed Zu Hanjiao punishing several subordinates for their incompetence. When the poison of the "Heart-Eroding Pill" erupted without an antidote, those subordinates all succumbed to their deaths in utter torment.

They had thought Yu Wei was doomed this time, that the eruption of the "Heart-Eroding Pill" poison would leave him with no chance of survival. But judging from his current condition, he seemed completely unscathed.

"Could it be that he saved Yu Wei?"

Gazing at Fang Bai standing beside Yu Wei, the white-haired elder and the others felt their hearts stir, their gazes growing eager.

Under the intense scrutiny of dozens of fervent eyes, Fang Bai smiled faintly and said, "I fed him a high-grade Superior Rejuvenation Pill. As long as he regulates his breath for a moment, the poison of the ’Heart-Eroding Pill’ in his body will be completely purged."

The main purpose of the "Rejuvenation Pill" is to expel and ward off toxins. However, the primary ingredients for this pill generally grow in areas inhabited by poisonous creatures, making them extremely rare and exceedingly valuable.

"Rejuvenation Pill?"

The white-haired elder and others murmured to themselves, their faces blank, clearly unfamiliar with such an elixir.

"The Rejuvenation Pill can cure almost all extraordinary poisons in the world, and the ’Heart-Eroding Pill’ is no exception. You people—all of you who could have met your end today—are truly fortunate to have encountered my brother Fang!"

Before Fang Bai could speak, Li Chenzhou eagerly interjected.

At that moment, Yu Wei, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Yu Wei, how are you feeling right now? Has the poison of the ’Heart-Eroding Pill’ truly been purged?"

The white-haired elder rushed over to Yu Wei, gripping his shoulders tightly and asking with urgency.

"Ah?"

Yu Wei, too, was bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

When the poison of the "Heart-Eroding Pill" erupted in his body earlier, he was in unbearable pain and nearly unconscious. Then, someone patted him lightly, causing him to open his mouth involuntarily. A pill was stuffed into his mouth.

That pill melted instantly upon entry, with its medicinal power spreading directly to his heart. Yu Wei’s pain quickly subsided, his consciousness became clearer, and a voice rang in his ears instructing him to circulate his cultivation technique and meditate.

Yu Wei almost instinctively followed the instructions.

Even now, he wore an expression of confusion and had no idea who had transmitted the instructions to him.

Hearing the white-haired elder’s question, Yu Wei hesitated briefly, then recalled that the voice had seemed faintly familiar. Suddenly, he turned his head towards Fang Bai.

"Senior, was it you who saved me?"

Seeing Fang Bai smiling serenely at him, Yu Wei nearly confirmed that the person who had fed him the pill and transmitted the instructions to him must have been Fang Bai.

Fang Bai did not deny it, nodding with a smile, and said to Yu Wei, "The poison of the ’Heart-Eroding Pill’ in your body has been entirely cleared. Congratulations, you are now free."

"I..."

Having been under the control of Zu Hanjiao’s poison pills for years, Yu Wei had lived in both physical and emotional torment. Upon suddenly being told that the poison of the "Heart-Eroding Pill" had been completely purged and that he was finally free, he froze in place, unable to believe it.

"Yu Wei, have you forgotten that each time the poison of the ’Heart-Eroding Pill’ erupted in the past, we would only experience increasing agony? If we failed to get the antidote in time, we would perish within a hundred breaths while tormented by pain. Now you’re standing here perfectly fine, looking just like any other healthy person. This proves Senior Fang was right—your ’Heart-Eroding Pill’ poison has indeed been cleared... Haha... Hahaha..."

The white-haired elder spoke loudly, shaking with excitement, even laughing and crying simultaneously like a madman.

The other dozens of Innate Experts were also visibly overwhelmed with agitation, unable to contain themselves.

From the moment Yu Wei’s "Heart-Eroding Pill" poison erupted up until now, nearly as long as one hundred breaths had passed. Not only had Yu Wei’s pain not intensified, but it had disappeared altogether—this fact alone explained everything.

Yu Wei performed a self-check and found no abnormalities in his body. Finally, he believed it: the nightmare of the "Heart-Eroding Pill" that had plagued him for years had finally been broken.

Yu Wei began crying once more.

This time, the tears were due to joy.

Facing Fang Bai, he dropped to his knees, his expression brimming with gratitude as he kowtowed multiple times, then raised one hand to the sky and solemnly swore: "I, Yu Wei, always keep my word! The Senior has saved my life. From this day forward, whatever my senior commands, I will devote myself entirely to fulfilling it!"

Fang Bai gazed at Yu Wei intently for a moment, then asked, "Your cultivation level is now at the high rank of the Innate realm, but you’ve reached a bottleneck. Do you find it difficult to advance no matter how much you cultivate?

"Yes... yes..."

Yu Wei nodded repeatedly.

"Well then... Would you like to elevate your cultivation to the realm of perfection within the Innate rank—or even beyond?"

Fang Bai asked with a smile.

"I would... I would..."

Yu Wei nodded again, sensing faintly where this conversation was leading. His heart pounded with excitement.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "Very well. As long as you are willing to join the Huaxia Sect, I guarantee that within one year, your cultivation will reach the perfection stage of the Innate realm."

"Huaxia Sect?"

Yu Wei froze for a moment, racking his brain but unable to recall any Innate Sect by that name in the True Martial Realm.

In Yu Wei’s understanding, given Fang Bai’s extraordinary strength, if he hailed from the Huaxia Sect, then the Huaxia Sect must undoubtedly be an Innate Sect. Yet, as far as Yu Wei was familiar with Innate Sects in the True Martial Realm, there was no record of a "Huaxia Sect."

Yu Wei, being a Loose Cultivator Martial Artist, originally harbored strong aversions to joining any sect. However, Fang Bai had saved his life and even promised to help him achieve perfection in the Innate realm, which greatly tempted him.

"Senior, we are willing to join the Huaxia Sect! Please take us in!"

Before Yu Wei could respond, the white-haired elder and the dozens of Innate Experts rushed forward eagerly, voicing their pledges
