"Medicine, medicine..." Su Mei used her trembling hand to take out a grain of the same crimson-colored pill from the Qian Kun bag and put it in her mouth.

  After taking the medicine, Su Mei's condition has eased somewhat, but it is still not optimistic.

  At this moment, she hurriedly struggled out of Chu Feng's arms, sat cross-legged on the ground, and with her hands clasped together in a special hand seal, condensed a special array to treat herself.

  "What's going on with this spell? It's so strange! Little beauty, what's wrong with you?"

  Chu Feng said this in his heart, he didn't really say it out loud, because he could see that at this moment, Xiao Mei had to focus on gathering the array to heal herself, so Chu Feng couldn't disturb her.

  But Chufeng was still very worried, he found that not only did Xiaomei's vomited blood look strange, but also the array she condensed was extremely unusual, this was a very ominous situation.

  "It's counter-attack." Just then, Egg's voice suddenly rang out.

  "What backlash? What's going to backlash?" Chu Feng hastily asked back.

  "Forced cultivation of spiritual power, and also infusing mental strength, how could it be possible to avoid backlash."

  "It's a miracle that they can survive and use the power instilled in them by that blind old man, it can be said that the old man really has some skills."

  "But even so, they will still be in danger of losing their lives at any time. Even if they can keep their lives, their health will be damaged, and they will suffer from this kind of backlash torture anywhere and anytime." Egg explained.

  "Egg, is there a way to save them?" Chu Feng asked anxiously. After all, the five of them, including Xiao Mei and Zi Ling, were the ones he cared about most. He didn't want them to suffer from this backlash for the rest of their lives, or even lose their lives because of it.

  "Cultivation is a path, it's about constantly taming stronger powers to use for oneself, and those powers, before being tamed, are extremely violent, even fatal."

  "Since ancient times, those who have cultivated and entered madness, or even died from it, are too numerous to count."

  "So, whether it's cultivating martial arts or practicing boundary techniques, one should progress gradually and calmly, without being impatient or flustered. Only the power obtained in this way is the most stable and can be used at will."

  "However, those who take shortcuts are going against nature. Although they may also succeed, they will inevitably pay the price."

  "If you ask me if there's a way to alleviate their pain, yes, the method Xiaomei is using now is indeed a way to alleviate his pain. I suppose this method was also taught by that blind old man who helped her take a shortcut."

  "But you asked me if there's a way to save her, and I can only say no, at least I don't know of any such method," said DanDan.

  "This..." Upon hearing these words, Chu Feng's face turned ashen, looking at the girl sitting on the ground, her face filled with pain and struggling with all her might against the backlash. He was powerless to do anything but watch, and his heart was extremely complicated, aching with sorrow.

  "Chu Feng, but you don't have to worry too much either. As the saying goes, 'the world is vast and nothing is impossible', especially in the world of martial artists, where strange things happen all the time."

  "Maybe, in that so-called heavenly realm, there are powerful boundary spirit masters who possess the method to break through this counter-attack?" Seeing Chu Feng's worried expression, DanDan began to comfort him.

  Chu Feng naturally understood that Dandan's words were meant to comfort him, although he couldn't guarantee whether there really was a way to rescue Su Mei and the others. However, at least before finding such a method, Su Mei and the others' resentment would become a heart disease for Chu Feng.

  After this, Chu Feng could only watch as Su Mei healed her wounds. This healing process actually took a full two days.

  For two days and two nights, Chu Feng had been guarding Su Mei's side, without moving or sleeping at all.

  Fortunately, after two days and two nights, Su Mei's condition not only improved but also seemed to have fully recovered, at least back to the same state as before the relapse.

  "Xiao Mei, you're finally okay." Seeing Su Mei had finally cancelled her formation, Chu Feng opened his eyes and spoke.

  "Chu Feng, don't worry about me, I'm actually fine, it's just a minor illness," Su Mei said with a forced smile.

  "A minor illness? Xiaomei, don't deceive me."

  "Tell me honestly, is this what you've been subjected to after being brainwashed by your predecessors?" Chu Feng asked.

  "In this moment, Su Mei's eyes flickered and she became somewhat flustered. However, looking at Chu Feng's serious gaze, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore. In the end, she nodded her head and said: 'Indeed, it was our Master who imparted us with cultivation, but we suffered a backlash.'"

  "We go against the heavens, violating the rules of cultivation, and suffering from backlash is an inevitable thing. However, Chu Feng brother, you really don't have to worry, this backlash will only occasionally bring pain and won't affect us."

  "Doesn't it affect you? Let's not talk about the bitterness of this backlash, how hard it is to endure. Just talking about its unpredictable timing is fatal."

  "What if, when you're in the midst of battling an enemy, your counterattack suddenly strikes? What can you do? All you can do is sit and wait for death, expose your weakness, and let your enemy cut you down." Chu Feng said.

  At this moment, Su Mei lowered her head and fell silent, for she was speechless.

  Although her current cultivation has surpassed Chu Feng's, she is very clear that what Chu Feng has experienced is far beyond what she can compare to.

  Whether it was combat experience or views on the world of Xiuzhen, Chu Feng was far more cunning than her, so she also knew that this backlash's danger, she couldn't hide from Chu Feng.

  "Chu Feng, actually, before our master taught us how to cultivate, he had already told us that this is a very dangerous way of cultivation. Not only will it consume our lifespan, but we might even lose our lives because of it. However, in order to catch up with you, we still nodded and agreed, and asked our master to teach us."

  "I also know that we are a bit too eager, will you blame us? Blame us for being so unambitious? For the sake of power, and taking such risks." After a long time, Su Mei finally lifted her head again, looking at Chu Feng with those reddened eyes.

  "Silly girl, how could I blame you? I know you're doing this not for yourselves, but for me." Chu Feng walked up to Su Mei and once again pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her hair with a pained expression.

  "I knew it, Brother Chu Feng won't blame us, but also please don't blame our Master, Brother Chu Feng."

  "Let's not mention this, it is our willing heart, just for the sake of giving us the elixir to cultivate, Master also suffered a great loss of yuanqi. We have no relation with him, but he is willing to help us like this, he really is a good person."

  And also from his words, we can hear that if it weren't for our relationship with you, they wouldn't have helped us.

  "Although we don't know what kind of relationship Master and Brother Chufeng have, it's clear that he seems to appreciate you."

  "It's just that we don't understand why he didn't come directly to Wuzhi Sacred Land to help you, but instead helped us improve our cultivation." Su Mei said.

  "That senior, although I'm not familiar with him, I also know that he's a good person. No matter what he thinks or what his purpose is, I believe he doesn't have any malicious intentions, so naturally I won't blame him." Chu Feng said.

  "Actually, Master let Zi Ling and her sister stay by his side because their condition is even more severe than mine. When they have a relapse, he has to personally set up the array to heal them."

  "As for me coming here, it was actually Master asking Senior Left to help, and having Senior Left help me with the backlash treatment method. Although currently speaking, Senior Left also doesn't have a treatment method, but he is thinking of ways for me." Su Mei explained.

  "If that's the case, then you mustn't stay in the Jie Shi Alliance. Just stay here, only then will you be safe, and only then can I be at ease." Chu Feng said.

  "I understand, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we can't stabilize this rebound, and can't stay by Chu Feng's side forever."

  "If it's always like this, then we can't help you at all. What's the point of improving our cultivation?"

  At this point, Su Mei's small face was filled with a look of regret, she hated herself, hated that she was too incompetent.

  "Silly girl, you've come to the land of Wu Zhe, and being able to alleviate my worries is already a great help to me." Chu Feng said with a smile.

  "Is that the solution to your longing? So, Chu Feng gege, what is it about me that you miss the most?" As Xiaomei spoke, she narrowed her adorable eyes slightly, and a rare hint of coquetry flashed across her face.

  Such a little beauty is truly charming beyond measure. Even if Chu Feng's heart wants to comfort Su Mei, at this moment he is also moved and has a reaction.

  "Hey... missing you everywhere." Chu Feng smiled slyly and directly dragged Xiaomei up, taking big strides towards the bedroom.
