Speaking of which, ever since Lu Chen had awoken the Eye of Merit, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation where the power of Merit was insufficient.

In addition, they could only rely on the effects of the meritorious services they had previously acc.u.mulated to slowly gather together.

After all, Duanmu Pengcheng's damp energy had already completely fused with his true energy, forming a completely new pattern of power.

And he had gradually gained his own intelligence, which was the most difficult thing to deal with.

At this time, Lu Chen couldn't help but be a little worried.

In the beginning, Lu Chen had thought of this possibility.

However, since he had already promised Duanmu Huanghun, he rushed over after making some preparations.

The more time pa.s.sed, the more subtle Lu Chen's control of the Power of Merit became, in order to minimize his energy consumption.

The corpse qi in Duanmu Pengcheng's dantian could be considered as having been greatly controlled.

After dealing with the corpse qi in Duanmu Pengcheng's Dantian, Lu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, he once again circulated the power of karmic virtue throughout Duanmu Pengcheng's body.

This step was naturally very important for him to completely stabilize the corpse aura inside the furnace.

If he was affected by the corpse qi's restlessness, he would be like a fuse that had yet to be ignited.

On the other hand, Duanmu Pengcheng's dantian was like a bomb.

Once this bomb was detonated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The more things got to this point, the calmer Lu Chen's heart became.

Similarly, the entire room was abnormally quiet.

For a moment, it was so quiet that it was as if a needle falling onto the ground could be heard clearly.

In the end, this corpse qi was completely surrounded and directly surrendered in front of the power of karmic virtue.

Unknowingly, an hour had already pa.s.sed while Lu Chen was dealing with the corpse qi.

Lu Chen's complexion became paler and paler, and he looked bloodless. His forehead was also covered with dense beads of sweat, and even his breathing became rapid.

In reality, if not for Lu Chen's spiritual force being nurtured by the Power of Merit, it would have been impossible for others to persist until now.

After completing the final task, Lu Chen let out a heavy sigh of relief, as if he had not slept for three days and three nights.

Following which, Lu Chen retracted his hand and the three silver needles continued to stay in Duanmu Pengcheng's mingmen.

At the same time, these three silver needles stabilized Duanmu Pengcheng's mingmen, which was equivalent to real-time monitoring of his situation.

If anything happened, Lu Chen would be able to detect it immediately.

"Brother Lu... Are you all right? Why are you so stupid, why are you working so hard! You even lost your life, didn't you? "

Seeing that Lu Chen had finished taking care of everything, Murong Xin'er couldn't hold herself back anymore. She immediately went over and grabbed his arm, saying with a pained expression.

She did not intentionally lower her voice, so what she said just now was naturally heard by everyone.

Lu Chen could only smile bitterly.

Of course, he knew that the reason why Murong Xin'er said those words was because she cared for him.

However, what Murong Xin'er said just now was not wrong.

This was the embodiment of exhaustion.

Of course, Murong Xin`er's initial worry disappeared the moment it touched Lu Chen's body.

She could clearly feel that the true qi within his dantian was abnormally abundant and had not been consumed at all.

It was the existence of this power that allowed him to possess abilities that were difficult for ordinary people to attain.

As an interested person, she was naturally very clear about the true qi in his dantian.

But a cultivator who didn't use true qi?

The more Murong Xin'er thought about it, the more confused she became.

With Murong Xin'er's character, how could she calm down under this kind of situation?

In fact, not to mention Murong Xin`er, even Zhang Junwei who was beside them started to worry when he saw Lu Chen's current situation.

In his memory, he had never seen his master appear so weak.

Moreover, this time, he clearly felt that it was Lu Chen who had taken the initiative to help. Yet, it was so difficult and he even seemed to have paid a huge price. He felt even more incredulous.

Murong Xin'er tacitly blinked her eyes. Only then did Lu Chen raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, cupped his fist, and said to Duanmu Fu.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this junior can ensure that the corpse aura inside Patriarch Duanmu's body does not change within three days!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone present secretly nodded their heads.

Of course, although the effects were immediate, seeing Lu Chen's current state, they found it extremely taxing. Thus, everyone subconsciously thought that it might only be temporary control, and that it could explode at any time.
