He bowed deeply to the crowd, then his gaze swept over Zhang Yaqi once more, he sighed deeply, and turned to leave.
Behind him came the urgent wail of police sirens; the Canadian police had finally arrived.
"Second Senior Brother, the car's burned. Take Wang Hongchen and Bloomer away." Xiao Wenbing, carrying Zhang Yaqi, vanished into the night in a flash. He had no intention of dealing with the Canadian police.
Zhang Jie gave a wry smile. How come he, a great expert in the Golden Core stage, was only doing trivial things like cleaning up messes?
He pointed a finger, and the Samadhi Fire instantly turned Wang Hongchen's car into a lump of molten steel. Even with the most advanced modern technology, it's probably impossible to make any analysis of that glowing red steel.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he took Wang Hongchen and the unconscious Blumer, who was foaming at the mouth, and instantly disappeared into the distance.
With their skills, the three of them returned to Wang Hongchen's villa safely and without anyone noticing.
"Prepare a large, quiet room for us. This idiot from the Nock family is in your hands now," Xiao Wenbing instructed.
"Yes." Wang Hongchen was extremely grateful to Xiao Wenbing and the others for successfully resolving the matter. He immediately ordered them to carry out the order and prepare a quiet room. As for how Blumer would be treated now that he was in his hands, that was not Xiao Wenbing's concern.
After placing the weakened Zhang Yaqi on the bed, Xiao Wenbing asked, "Second Senior Brother, you are knowledgeable and experienced. How should we expel the vampire's Embrace?"
Zhang Jie was taken aback and said, "This... I have never encountered such a thing before. Why don't we return to the mountain gate? There are many seniors in the Heavenly Dao Sect, perhaps they can find a solution." A hint of hesitation flashed across his face. After pondering for a while, he said, "However, junior brother, don't have too high hopes. Even if there is a way to expel the vampire's embrace, it will inevitably require rare and precious materials. These things are hard to come by, and we may not be able to obtain them."
"Does the Heavenly Dao Sect, with its collection accumulated over so many years, not have any?"
"That's not necessarily true. However... there's an unwritten rule in the Daoist sect that spiritual herbs are not given to outer disciples. So even if such herbs existed, it would be difficult to obtain them."
A resolute look flashed across Xiao Wenbing's face as he said, "Then let's go back to the Secret Talisman Sect and ask our master. He's lived to such an old age, he must have a few treasured secret artifacts. I'll ask for one of them no matter what."
Zhang Jie gave a wry smile and said, "Junior brother, we are the Secret Talisman Sect, not the Spirit Medicine Valley."
"Senior brother, why does the Daoist sect have such a rule that rare and precious herbs are not given to outer disciples?" Xiao Wenbing said indignantly.
"I don't know. This is a rule set by our ancestors over the centuries, and it has never been changed," Zhang Jie said solemnly.
"Not for outer disciples?" Xiao Wenbing suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering a treasure he possessed, and couldn't help but sneer: "What a rule that has been around for thousands of years, hehe... I just don't believe in this nonsense."
With a flick of his wrist, a vast and boundless stream of peaceful spiritual energy appeared on his palm, and a golden talisman slowly floated up.
"A life-saving talisman?" Zhang Jie exclaimed in surprise, and asked, "Junior Brother, what are you doing with the Ancestral Master's talisman?"
Xiao Wenbing smiled slightly and said, "Second Senior Brother, you may not know this, but this life-saving golden talisman contains the power of immortal spirits from the Immortal Realm. The Sect Master of Tianyi once said that in addition to defending against external enemies, it also has the effect of saving lives and healing the wounded. As long as the primordial spirit is not scattered, even the physical body can be reshaped. His words should be trustworthy, right?"
Zhang Jie's expression changed, and he asked, "Junior Brother, are you planning to use a life-saving talisman on this young lady?"
"Exactly."
Zhang Jie's mouth dropped open. After a long pause, he finally let out a long sigh and said, "She is, after all, an outer disciple. Junior brother, think it over..."
Xiao Wenbing laughed loudly several times, then pointed his finger, and the life-saving golden talisman suddenly shone brightly, instantly enveloping the quiet room in wisps of light. A strange yet peaceful spiritual energy gradually spread out.
This was also the first time Xiao Wenbing had used the immortal spiritual power on the life-saving golden talisman, and he carefully controlled that magical power.
Within the life-saving talisman, this strange power is not abundant; the vast majority is ordinary spiritual energy from the cultivation world. However, this mere one or two percent of mysterious power is the true essence of the life-saving talisman.
Xiao Wenbing's divine sense was transmitted to her bit by bit, and gradually, the golden light that filled the entire quiet room began to recede, like strands of silkworm silk, enveloping Zhang Yaqi completely.
Zhang Yaqi's body was gently lifted into the air by spiritual power. Around her was a golden cocoon of light, and directly above the cocoon were the fluttering golden talismans that protected her life.

------------------------
"Junior brother, how long will it take?" Zhang Jie was also completely unaware of the life-saving talisman. He quietly watched Xiao Wenbing cast the spell until he withdrew his spiritual power before asking.
Xiao Wenbing shook his head and sighed, "This is also my first time using the life-saving talisman. I have no idea how long it will take. Alas... what a pity."
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity that the White Crane Ancestor didn't bestow any spiritual medicine. If he had given us a hundred or so more celestial elixirs, we could have ascended directly after swallowing them. Wouldn't that have been much easier?"
"…………"
"A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant." Suddenly, Feng Baiyi, who had been silent all along, uttered these words softly.
"What did you say?" Xiao Wenbing was taken aback. He had been so engrossed in his own illusory dream that he hadn't heard Feng Baiyi's whispered words clearly, and asked instead.
Feng Baiyi shook her head and remained silent.
Xiao Wenbing turned his gaze to Zhang Jie, who turned around decisively and left the quiet room without saying a word.
※※※※
Neither Xiao Wenbing, nor Zhang Jie, nor Feng Baiyi expected that this luminous pupa would take a full half-month to form.
However, they were not worried, because with their eyesight, they could clearly see through the light cocoon that Zhang Yaqi's face was gradually turning red.
Her body seems to be undergoing some kind of change. Although it's unclear what effect this change will have on her, it's likely to be something bad.
On the fifteenth day, Xiao Wenbing suddenly felt a premonition and came to the quiet room.
The golden pupa, shimmering with beautiful light, finally completed its final transformation, and the life-saving talisman ceased its continuous energy output. Xiao Wenbing reached out, and the talisman obediently returned to his hand, entering his Heavenly Void Ring.
Under the astonished gazes of Zhang Jie and the others, endless light began to flow into Zhang Yaqi's body, and as the ball of light grew thinner and thinner, Xiao Wenbing and the others were filled with admiration for the miraculous methods of the immortal realm.
After the last ray of light entered Zhang Yaqi's body, no spiritual energy could be felt in the quiet room anymore.
Xiao Wenbing stepped forward and gently placed his hand on her pulse point. He scanned it with his divine sense and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jie asked in surprise. Could it be that even the treasures of the immortal realm cannot cure the vampire's Embrace?
Xiao Wenbing's expression was strange. After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "Yaqi, she...she..."
"What's wrong with her?" Feng Baiyi frowned, scanned the area with her divine sense, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, Zhang Jie circulated his spiritual sense and swept it around. Suddenly, he shouted, "Core Formation?"
"That's right, Yaqi has reached the Core Formation stage." Xiao Wenbing nodded solemnly.
“The talismans of the celestial realm…” Zhang Jie murmured, his tone filled with unspeakable envy.
Xiao Wenbing was undoubtedly a prodigy, but even he needed a year to form his inner core. Zhang Yaqi, on the other hand, achieved success in one fell swoop, going directly from an outer disciple who had no understanding of Qi and no spiritual power to successfully forming her inner core.
"One, two, three..." Zhang Jie slowly counted on his fingers.
"Second Senior Brother, what are you doing?" Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise.
"Nothing?" Zhang Jie immediately shook his head. It was already a rare occurrence in the cultivation world to have two freaks like Feng Baiyi and Xiao Wenbing, but today, it seems that another one has to be added.
“Wenbing”.
Xiao Wenbing looked over with great joy and saw that Zhang Yaqi had opened her eyes, which contained a hint of a smile and the joy of surviving a disaster.
"Yaqi, you're all better now." Xiao Wenbing no longer cared about the others present, picked her up and spun her around several times in the quiet room.
Zhang Jie shook his head sadly, sighed deeply, and turned to leave.
Feng Baiyi glanced at them, and the white figure flickered, already no longer in the room.
After spinning around in the room several times, Zhang Yaqi's initial joy subsided. She held Xiao Wenbing's hand and whispered, "Wenbing, put me down."
"Why?" Xiao Wenbing's eyes darted around, and he said, "Absolutely not. I've made up my mind, and I will never let go in this lifetime."
“Hmm…” Zhang Yaqi’s beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly. She raised her head, met Xiao Wenbing’s serious gaze, and finally said, “Wenbing, I will try my best… I will definitely try my best.”
"Effort?" Xiao Wenbing was puzzled and asked, "Effort in what? Ah..." He lightly slapped his forehead, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Isn't it a bit too early to talk about this now?"
Zhang Yaqi smiled calmly, but within that gentle smile lay an unwavering determination: "I firmly believe that I will strive to catch up with you and will not become a burden to you."
Xiao Wenbing was taken aback, feeling touched but also slightly disappointed. He smiled wryly and said, "So that's what you meant. I thought..."
"What did you think?"
"I, I mean... By the way, Yaqi, I have good news for you. You don't have to work so hard anymore."
"Why?"
“You have caught up with me,” Xiao Wenbing said with no small amount of pride.
"What?"
"Do you know that you are now a great master in the Core Formation stage?"
Zhang Yaqi suddenly sat up, looking at Xiao Wenbing with a puzzled expression. After a long while, a tear rolled down her cheek: "Wenbing, is this the Core Formation stage?"
“Not bad, this is the realm of Core Formation. Yaqi, your efforts have moved the heavens. You…” Xiao Wenbing placed her body on the bed, reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and said softly, word by word, “You… have… succeeded….”
※※※※
A soft knock came at the door, startling the couple who were snuggling together in bed.
Zhang Yaqi, her face flushed, pushed away his embrace, straightened her clothes, and said, "Someone's here."
Xiao Wenbing was secretly amazed. Zhang Yaqi was incredibly stubborn, yet so shy; it was truly a rare sight.
He scanned the area with his divine sense, frowned, and asked, "Mr. Wang, is there something you need?"
"Reporting to the Elder, my elder sister has called from overseas again, what do you think..." Wang Hongchen's respectful reply came from outside the door.
"Understood. Inform Senior Wang that we will return the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you, Elder." A series of hurried footsteps sounded as Wang Hongchen left to inform his sister.
