Xiao Li carried Old Wang on his back; he had just discovered that the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill was at a disadvantage in its struggle against the potent poison.
Furthermore, Xiao Li sensed an extremely faint but incredibly dense Yang Qi within Old Wang's body, which was protecting Old Wang's heart meridians.
Xiao Li guessed that this might be the Origin of Old Wang's Heavenly Yang Body. The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill's effect had revived the Heavenly Yang Body, but the various potent poisons invading Old Wang's body prevented the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill from functioning. Once the Elixir's effects wore off, Old Wang would truly be beyond saving.
'What should I do? What should I do? This Yang Qi feels like it's about to extinguish. Is there any way to strengthen the Yang Qi? I've got it! A place with abundant Yang Qi might work! Such a place would also help suppress the potent poison!
Most of the poison masters in the Izumo Empire use Yin poison, and Yang Qi is naturally its nemesis! But where can I find a place with abundant Yang Qi?'
"Old Yun, Old Hai, do you know of any place nearby with the most abundant Yang Qi?"
Xiao Li inquired. When it came to familiarity with the Jia Ma Empire, Yun Shan and Hai Bodong were the foremost authorities.
"The place with the most abundant Yang Qi? The Tagor Desert, but the Yang Qi in the Tagor Desert weakens at night." Yun Shan frowned, not knowing Xiao Li's intentions, but he felt Xiao Li might have a solution.
Hai Bodong, however, pondered deeply, and finally, he thought of something.
"Young friend, there's a volcano in the Tagor Desert. I've been to that volcano before, but it's severely weathered and has likely lost its ability to erupt. The Fire-attribute Heaven and Earth energy there is extremely rich.
I once obtained an extremely cold treasure there; extreme heat gives rise to extreme cold. The Yang Qi there should meet your standards."
Hai Bodong said.
Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands to Hai Bodong, saying, "Old Hai, where is that place located? Please tell me. If that place can truly make my teacher better, Huangji Pill and Break-Sect Pill are not a problem!
I have a Qing Yuan Pill here suitable for a Dou Huang to Cultivate. Thank you for your information."
Xiao Li handed the Qing Yuan Pill to Hai Bodong. Hai Bodong hadn't expected Xiao Li to be so generous—Huangji Pill, Break-Sect Pill! He couldn't even imagine it. Hai Bodong also understood why Yun Shan was protecting this young man.
"It's merely a small favor. To get there, start from Shimo City. Using the west gate of Shimo City as your starting point, fly about dozens of miles southeast, and you'll find an oasis.
Once you reach the oasis, wait one night. The next day, after the sun rises, fly about three hundred miles in the direction of the rising sun, and you'll see that volcano."
Hai Bodong briefly explained the location to Xiao Li, but fearing Xiao Li might get lost, Hai Bodong personally drew a map.
Besides his love for Cultivating, Hai Bodong's greatest hobby was studying maps, especially ancient maps of a certain age.
"Old Hai, I won't thank you enough for this great kindness. If you ever need help in the future, just find me." Xiao Li cupped his hands and bowed to Hai Bodong.
"Old Yun, I'll be leaving first. You..." Xiao Li wanted to say goodbye to Yun Shan first, as saving his teacher was the most important thing.
"Cough, cough~" The Grand Elder Yun Ji, beside Yun Shan, suddenly coughed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
"Yun Ji! What's wrong with you?" Yun Shan quickly used Dou Qi to help Yun Ji recover.
"Cough, cough, it's nothing, Sect Master. Those brats from the Izumo Empire were vicious. I accidentally got hit by a move. I should be fine after a few days of rest." Yun Ji waved his hand, indicating he was fine.
"Let me see." Xiao Li carried Old Wang on his back, tying Old Wang and himself together with a rope. Then he walked over to Yun Ji to check his body.
"Grand Elder, you've been poisoned, and it's a very insidious and potent poison. This poison has a strong ability to hide and will constantly devour your life force. If you don't treat it, you might not live for more than five years!"
Xiao Li said with a grave expression, then summoned a wisp of Fallen Heart Flame to his fingertip.
Xiao Li: "Grand Elder, bear with it. I will inject the different fire into your body to help you remove these potent poisons."
"Mm."
Yun Ji trusted Xiao Li. After all, Xiao Li had stayed at the Cloud Mist Sect for over half a year. Although the Young Sect Master Yun Yun had entered the Gate of Life and Death trial not long after meeting him, Xiao Li had remained at the Cloud Mist Sect, refining Elixirs.
Xiao Li controlled the Fallen Heart Flame to eliminate the potent poisons within Yun Ji's body. These poisons were too insidious, difficult to detect, and primarily aimed at eroding life force.
If not dealt with in time, Yun Ji might die in a few years. As expected of the Izumo Empire, they were truly formidable in their use of poison—insidious, ruthless, and toxic enough!
"Phew, it's done. Most of the main toxins in the Grand Elder have been resolved. For the remaining residual toxins, I'll give you a bottle of detoxifying Elixirs. After about half a year of recuperation, you should be fine. Grand Elder, remember not to fight or Cultivate during these six months. Taking care of your body is the most important thing."
Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, Yun Ji also nodded: "This old man understands."
Next, Xiao Li gave Xiao Lin a few instructions, then left, flying towards Shimo City... Several days later,
"The map Hai Bodong gave me should lead here, right?"
Xiao Li glanced at the dark, weathered stones around him.
"Let's go look at that tall mountain over there." Xiao Li looked at the distant tall mountain. Although the Fire-attribute energy here was quite abundant, the Earth-attribute energy was even more so.
When Xiao Li flew to the summit of this dark mountain, he immediately felt an extremely rich Fire-attribute Heaven and Earth energy.
"What rich Heaven and Earth energy! Indeed, Hai Bodong didn't lie to me!"
Xiao Li first placed Old Wang's body aside. Old Wang was currently in a state similar to hibernation, as the medicinal power of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill and the toxicity of the Magic Poison Spot raged within his body.
The two energies formed a kind of balance, causing Old Wang himself to enter a hibernating state. It would probably be difficult for him to wake up.
In Xiao Li's view, Old Wang was currently at a critical moment of breaking through to stand anew, but whether he could stand up was crucial.
Xiao Li simply constructed a stone bed suitable for lying down for Old Wang, then placed Old Wang on the stone bed.
"This place must be the crater, but it seems to be blocked by something. The Fire-attribute energy here is extremely active. I can sense the magma beneath the volcano.
Will this place erupt? What if it damages my teacher's body?"
Xiao Li was very troubled; there were simply too many things to do.
Over the next few days, Xiao Li observed the wisp of Yang Qi within Old Wang's body. Xiao Li's intuition told him that this wisp of Yang Qi was of utmost importance! Perhaps this was the key to whether Old Wang could break through and stand anew!
"Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill!" Xiao Li held the Pill Formula in his hand, his face filled with worry. He had already collected all the Materials needed for the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill.
However, due to the extremely stringent Materials required for the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill, Xiao Li only had one set of Medicinal Materials, and this set of Medicinal Materials was critically important.
"First, Cultivate and Breakthrough to Dou Huang. Then, the increase in Dou Qi will drive my Soul Power! This might allow my Alchemist level to rise again!"
Xiao Li planned to first Cultivate and Breakthrough to Dou Huang. The Fire-attribute Heaven and Earth energy here was very rich and extremely suitable for Cultivating. However, to prevent affecting Old Wang's condition during the process of absorbing Heaven and Earth energy, Xiao Li chose to Cultivate in a more distant location... Cloud Mist Sect, Gate of Life and Death Secret Realm.
After meeting Xiao Li, Yun Yun decided to enter the Gate of Life and Death for training! The Gate of Life and Death is a peculiar Secret Realm, discovered by the Cloud Mist Sect's Ancestral Master Yun Potian, who also founded the Cloud Mist Sect in this place.
Most of the Cloud Mist Sect Sect Masters, except for those who met with accidents, died in meditation within the Gate of Life and Death, making it the final trial for the Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master's successor.
Yun Yun had been in the Gate of Life and Death for almost a year. With the help of this Secret Realm and the Cloud Mist Sect Ancestral Masters, Yun Yun's Cultivation had reached Three-star Dou Wang. With another half a year to complete the trial, she would likely reach around Eight-star Dou Wang.
At that time, she would be able to emerge from the Gate of Life and Death and become the next Cloud Mist Sect Sect Master!
Hoo~
Yun Yun slowly opened her eyes, then her gaze turned to the distance, where a peculiar sight lay.
That peculiar thing seemed to be a flame, constantly burning, but its color was extremely strange—one black, one white, two completely opposite colors intertwined.
"This should be the Yin Yang Twin Flames," Yun Yun murmured.
The Yin Yang Twin Flames are ranked twenty-first on the strange fire ranking list. They appear in black and white, born from the Origin of the Universe Void Realm. Their characteristics encompass both life and death forces: the white Yang fire contains vitality and can heal injuries; the black Yin fire, however, is destructive, turning anything it touches into ash instantly.
