"I am Old Vine."
Thorn Spirit Vine was certainly older than others.
"Old Vine, what's all the fuss? Don't you know what I'm doing?"
Before they arrived, Thorn Spirit Vine had explained that the Spirit Whale Shark pushed the black Qi from its head into one eye, remaining still to keep its mind clear.
"The young master is saved."
Thorn Spirit Vine pointed at Qian Duoduo, "This Fellow Daoist Qian can purify black Qi."
The Spirit Whale Shark first looked at Thorn Spirit Vine, then at Qian Duoduo.
"His cultivation is a bit weak. If he can purify you, he might not be able to purify me, let alone the young master."
"He's not ordinary. Have you ever seen a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator with such powerful Spiritual Awareness? Moreover, his Purple Eyes are very unusual, possessing innate purification, and even a hint of thunder power."
Thorn Spirit Vine saw Qian Duoduo very clearly.
"You all step back, I'll try."
As soon as the Spirit Whale Shark finished speaking, Thorn Spirit Vine, Dragon Head Treasure Eagle, and Mystic Sky Crocodile immediately moved to a distance.
Looking at the Spirit Whale Shark's eyes, which were larger than boulders, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness.
"Relax, I will purify it in several attempts," the Spirit Whale Shark said, then slightly opened its closed black eye.
A black light shot out from that black eye.
"Ah!"
Before the black light even reached him, Qian Duoduo's mind lost control, and he let out a furious roar.
As soon as the sound emerged, his Purple Eyes opened wide, and purple light met the black light.
The two lights intersected, and the black light turned into a wisp of green smoke.
The Purple Eyes looked inward, immediately stabilizing Qian Duoduo's mind.
"Wait a moment!" Qian Duoduo gasped a few times, stopping the Spirit Whale Shark from continuously opening its black eye.
Gathering the purple light with all his might had consumed one-third of Qian Duoduo's Spiritual Awareness.
The Spirit Whale Shark gently pushed the lake water, "Your soul body can recover by drinking this."
Qian Duoduo slapped his head.
The river water of the Evil River contained Impurities and also soul liquid.
The upper layer of this lake was naturally pure soul liquid.
With pure soul liquid to replenish himself, who would he fear?
Sitting cross-legged, Qian Duoduo circulated the Golden Life Devouring Dragon Art and summoned the Golden Winged Bird.
The Golden Winged Bird let out a cry and plunged into the lake.
Qian Duoduo had exerted immense effort to enter the Artifact Refining World, so he didn't believe that other members of the Ba Ling Sect could also enter.
Since they couldn't enter, he wasn't afraid of exposing his identity here.
The Golden Winged Bird swam along the junction of the black and white lake water. The black lake water was continuously purified into white, and strings of black bubbles rose from the lake, turning into wisps of green smoke that dissipated into the world.
Seeing this, the Spirit Whale Shark couldn't help but become excited.
As a Heavenly Beast, it was helpless against the Impurities in this soul liquid, able only to force them into one eye.
While purifying, the Golden Winged Bird also devoured the soul liquid, and its body not only didn't shrink but continuously grew larger.
After an unknown amount of time, the Golden Winged Bird had purified the entire vast lake. When it returned to the top of Qian Duoduo's head, it suddenly got stuck outside and couldn't enter.
—It had gotten much fatter.
Slowly absorbing it into his body, Qian Duoduo's height doubled.
Qian Duoduo's cultivation simultaneously reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
"Be careful," the Spirit Whale Shark's black eye opened and closed several times, the black light it emitted becoming less and less.
Finally, the Purple Eyes drilled into its head, purifying the last trace of black mist.
"Whoosh!"
The Spirit Whale Shark sprayed a column of water into the air. The water column shot straight into the sky and scattered into the Primitive Forest.
The spiritual plant in the forest grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Big guy, wasn't I right? The young master is saved!"
The Primitive Forest was the Thorn Spirit Vine's home, and at this moment, with the heaven-sent sweet rain, it was the happiest.
"Come up! We're going to find the young master."
The Spirit Shark Whale flicked its tail, swam to the shore, turned around, and allowed Qian Duoduo and the others to get onto its back.
