Chapter 615: Purification

Luoluo's brows were furrowed as she looked around with vigilance and hesitation.

"Corruption is not simple at all. If you have a piece of white cloth, and it gets tainted by a black dye, it might become ruined. Even if you manage to clean it and try to get all stains off, the affected area will never return to be as pure white as it was before.

"Even if we do manage to remove the corruption from Tianyi's energy, he will have certain lasting sequelae. Even the best solution will make it so that he will become extra sensitive to corruption in the future, and that another corruption will invade his core instantly, and not like now, where he is still savable."

Xue Wei could not help but frown as he understood the severity of this corruption. Although Bai Tianyi was stopped in time, he would not be able to get away without consequences. Even the least invading after-effect would be dangerous for his future.

"We have to remove the corruption as soon as possible. The longer it stays, the more severe the consequences will be." Luoluo understood this situation better than any of the others, but it was also because of her understanding that the others were able to take it seriously and act accordingly.

"Under normal circumstances, the spirit has to absorb energy with the same nature as their origin. Tianyi is in a special situation though, as he was an artificial spirit before becoming a true sword spirit.

"Even so, I would assume that he should be consuming sword energy if possible, but this area is lacking all special kinds of energy."

Luoluo was trying to stay calm, but her quivering voice was making it clear how panicked and worried she was inside.

"Can he use sword energy from me?"

Xue Wei looked at Bai Tianyi. Unlike Luoluo and Bai Tianyi, he did not depend on spiritual energy, and he also had the ability to use a sword well, so, in a situation like this where they had no other option, he was willing to use his own spiritual energy to purify Bai Tianyi.

"It is possible, but the price is also high." Luoluo's expression was somber as she took a deep breath and explained.

"A spirit is made when too much energy gathers at one place. It can be at a big river or a small plant. However, when created, all the energy will become part of this spirit, and if you wish to use your spiritual energy to help purify Tianyi, the situation will be very similar.

"Your energy is actually not the best option, but for now, it is our only option. If you use your spiritual energy to purify Bai Tianyi, he will take away all of your energy of this kind, and you will lose all you have.

"You will either have to give up all soul cultivation for the future, or you will have to recultivate it all over. Whatever decision you come to, you have to act swiftly, as Tianyi cannot continue to hang on."

"How do I help?" Xue Wei did not need time to consider the situation, as he already knew the decision he would make. Xue Wei's cultivation was currently dependent on Qi, and even though he was cultivating his spiritual energy from time to time, it had long been his secondary choice.

Although it was able to help him in some situations, it was not worth comparing to Bai Tianyi's well-being, so he was instantly willing to remove all the energy for saving his friend.

"Gou, quickly hold Tianyi in a sitting position. It does not matter how he sits, as long as he is sitting upright and his back is facing Wei."

Luoluo began to explain the process they had to follow, and none of the people present wasted any time as they hurriedly began working in accordance with the instructions.

"Place your palms on his shoulder blades, and let the energy enter his body through the meridians that are placed between the shoulderblades and the neck."

Luoluo was explaining the steps in detail as she stared at every change happening to Bai Tianyi. She, Xue Wei, and Hei Gou were focused on Bai Tianyi, while Ling Xiao was keeping a vigilant watch on their surroundings in case something would use this opportunity to attack them.

"Ensure that the energy is flowing clockwise, and do not let it become jerky. It has to flow smoothly, otherwise the corruption cannot be removed.

"Your spiritual energy has to flow through his entire body. Although his body is a spiritual body and not made from flesh and blood, the meridians are still created as channels for the energy, so you should be able to find them.

"The corruption is centered around his core, so you have to be extra careful when reaching this place. You cannot let the energy flow become stagnant, nor can it become too rapid. Keep a slow but secure pace, and just keep running your energy through his body until you run out.

"The energy you use will be gone for good, but every strand of energy that you transfer will make Bai Tianyi more likely to overcome this challenge."

Luoluo was very solemn as she explained the consequences and the cost, but she also knew that their only option was for Xue Wei to sacrifice his spiritual energy. When considering the current situation, Bai Tianyi was much more important than this secondary cultivation method.

Xue Wei also lived up to their expectations. He did not hesitate to follow her orders, and every action was done carefully and with deep concentration. He was doing everything he could to ensure that Bai Tianyi would have the best chances for purification.
