"Yes!" More than thirty people immediately withdrew in an orderly fashion, leaving only a single youth behind.

"This is my last disciple, Ethan Bennett."

"Ethan Bennett pays respects to Mr. Bennett!" That Ethan Bennett bowed once again.

Eric Bennett politely told him to rise, sizing him up. He saw that the youth possessed an immortal's bearing and Daoist aura, his eyes cold as stars—clearly, his foundation was extremely solid. No wonder he was favored by Ms. Bennett.

Ms. Bennett waved her hand again and smiled, "I have known you for a long time. For centuries, we have only communicated in spirit, and now that we finally meet, I am truly delighted. I live in seclusion in a desolate place, sitting in meditation all day, rarely leaving my seat. I only use music to welcome and send off guests, and will not trouble you with formalities. Mr. Bennett, please sit."

Once Eric Bennett sat down on a nearby jade stool, which was covered with a soft white mat and very comfortable, tea was served. After taking a sip and completing the formalities, Eric Bennett got straight to the point.

"This time, I have come to trouble you, and I do have a request."

"Mr. Bennett, whatever you need, just say the word. If Emily Bennett can help, it would be Emily Bennett's honor," Ms. Bennett said without hesitation.

"Then I'll speak plainly. I have a disciple who has been harmed by the Blood Lotus Palace's Soul-Refining Blood Banner. His nascent soul is gravely injured. I ask Ms. Bennett to grant me some of your sect's Immortal Balm and Jade Elixir. Eric Bennett would be most grateful."

"Since Mr. Bennett needs it, such medicine is hardly worth mentioning. Of course, I should give it to you. Ethan Bennett, quickly fetch that bottle of Immortal Balm and Jade Elixir from my secret chamber."

Hearing that he was to fetch the Immortal Balm and Jade Elixir, Ethan Bennett was startled. He hesitated slightly before saying, "Yes! This disciple will go at once!"

Eric Bennett heard this and stood up, bowing deeply. "Eric Bennett thanks Ms. Bennett greatly!"

This Immortal Balm and Jade Elixir was no ordinary elixir. It was said that just the ingredients alone consisted of seventeen extremely rare spiritual herbs from heaven and earth, all meticulously selected and refined. The cauldron used for alchemy resonated with the earth's essence, and the elixir was further infused with the essence of the sun and moon, then blended with the alchemist's own vital energy. The process was extremely arduous, but the result was a medicine capable of repairing the nascent soul—a treasure that every cultivator dreamed of obtaining.

Ms. Bennett usually could not bear to use it herself, yet now, with just a word, she was willing to take out a bottle. This was an immense favor, no wonder Eric Bennett stood up to bow deeply.

"Please, no need for such courtesy. Mr. Bennett, please sit!" Ms. Bennett did not dwell on the medicine, but instead asked, "Your sect's disciple was harmed by the Blood Lotus Palace's Soul-Refining Blood Banner?"

"Yes, fortunately I was able to save him in time." Eric Bennett then took out the nascent soul from his bosom. On the crystal altar, a cloud of purple energy appeared, and the nascent soul manifested on the ground.

With their level of cultivation, both immediately noticed that the nascent soul's limbs still bore four holes, and even now, a small amount of purple energy, like blood, churned at the wounds, with faint red light within.

"This is Soul-Refining Blood Fire, one of the nine most vicious demonic fires of the demonic sect. For your disciple's nascent soul to have been captured and still maintain its basic integrity is truly remarkable!" After listening to Eric Bennett's brief explanation, Ms. Bennett sighed, "Such a solid foundation—what a pity it would be to lose it. It must be repaired, it must be repaired."

"Indeed. Look, the wounds on the nascent soul still have Soul-Refining Blood Fire constantly corroding the vital energy, preventing the wounds from healing. If it is not removed, sooner or later he will become a blood demon. The demonic sect's demonic fire is not to be underestimated!" Eric Bennett shook his head. "That is why I have come to beg you for medicine, Master!"

At this moment, the nascent soul had already awakened. Seeing Eric Bennett, he knelt and bowed again.

Eric Bennett smiled and said, "Edward, aren't you going to pay respects to Ms. Bennett? Ms. Bennett is willing to grant you a spiritual medicine—not only can you heal your wounds, but you may even turn misfortune into blessing."

Although the nascent soul's pain was not yet fully relieved, his mind was clear. Hearing this, he immediately knelt before Ms. Bennett to express his gratitude.

Ms. Bennett accepted it calmly, without any pretense.

At this moment, Ethan Bennett had already brought up the jade bottle. The bottle was very small, containing a transparent jade-like liquid. Upon seeing Ms. Bennett, he presented it.

He saw the nascent soul on the altar and immediately realized who it was for, secretly casting a glare.

Although the gesture was subtle, it could not escape the notice of the two present. Ms. Bennett was displeased—such pettiness was unbecoming of a disciple—so she scolded, "Why are you giving it to me? Shouldn't you give it to Mr. Bennett?"

Eric Bennett pretended not to notice. This spiritual medicine was indeed a rare treasure in the world; a little reluctance was perfectly normal. He accepted the Immortal Balm and Jade Elixir with a smile. The moment he touched it, he could sense the flowing spiritual energy within and immediately knew it was the genuine article.

He then smiled and said, "Ms. Bennett, since my disciple is here, I shall borrow your place to repair his nascent soul."

Ms. Bennett's eyes lit up at this. "Haha, I was just hoping to witness Mr. Bennett's Daoist arts."

Eric Bennett shook the jade bottle in his hand. The Immortal Balm and Jade Elixir within transformed upon contact with the air. Normally, opening the bottle required special methods, but Eric Bennett clearly had no need for that. With a casual shake, four drops of the jade liquid, protected by a cloud of purple energy, flew precisely to the wounds on the nascent soul.

The spiritual medicine entered the nascent soul. The tangible jade liquid instantly became intangible spiritual energy, rapidly permeating the nascent soul. In that instant, the nascent soul felt the spiritual energy clash with the lingering Soul-Refining Blood Fire. Though he endured it, the pain was evident to all.
