In the dungeon, Lan Hua and Jiang Xinghai were in their respective cells, which was like having a private room.

Fortunately, their cells were right next to each other, so it was relatively easy for them to talk and chat.

Lan Hua examined the cell closely. It was not sturdy; a cultivator at the Pure Yuan Realm could easily break it open, but he did not do so.

According to the rules of the Zhaodan Temple, those who are thrown into the dungeon almost always have their cultivation destroyed.

Therefore, no matter how flimsy the prison cell is, there is no need to worry about the prisoners escaping.

Since the Palace Master did not cripple his and Jiang Xinghai's cultivation, they will be able to leave in just a few days.

These next few days, I'll just treat it as experiencing life in a dungeon.

"Hahaha...."

"Fate has decreed this, Lan Hua, you've finally met your match!"

The sound came from across the cell.

Lan Hua frowned slightly. "Who is making such a racket?"

"It's me, Wang Jinyu!"

Lan Hua looked across at the person opposite, who brushed aside their shawls to reveal Wang Jinyu's face.

Lan Hua smiled and said, "So it's Instructor Wang. Have you properly repented while you were in this dungeon?"

Wang Jinyu snorted, "I'd like to see how you repent!"

Lan Hua ignored it and went to sleep.

The next day.

Lan Hua didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky, even though she couldn't see the sun in the dungeon.

Lan Hua and Jiang Xinghai were bored and waited for someone outside to bring them food.

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, a small animal swaggered in—it was a pangolin.

The pangolin, a dull gray color, came directly to Jiang Xinghai, appearing quite docile.

Jiang Xinghai smiled and said, "Brother Hui, you've come to see me?"

The pangolin lowered its head in response.

"Alright, I'm fine. You can go back now, so no one finds out!"

The pangolin then left.

"Instructor Jiang, are you familiar with this pangolin called Brother Gray?" Lan Hua asked with a smile.

Jiang Xinghai laughed and said, "To be honest, I encountered this pangolin in the mountains. It is good at digging tunnels, and the tunnel leading to the forbidden area behind the cliff was dug by it unintentionally!"

Lan Hua was speechless. No wonder Jiang Xinghai was so familiar with that cave; it turned out the pangolin had already told him.

It was only past noon when Lan Hua felt sleepy again. She tried to dispel the drowsiness by cultivating, but it was all in vain.

Since returning from the campaign against the Yinluo Sect, Lan Hua has felt her mental state deteriorating, and she gets sleepy easily, making her seem nothing like a cultivator.

Logically speaking, cultivators can go three days and three nights without sleep without any problem, and those with profound cultivation can go without sleep at all.

Lan Hua drifted off to sleep, leaving Jiang Xinghai with a head full of questions.

"Didn't he just wake up? How come he's fallen asleep again?"

It wasn't until nightfall that Lan Hua woke up, and there was a dog sitting next to him.

It's the big grey dog!

Lan Hua rubbed her eyes and smiled, "Brother Hui still remembers me!"

The big gray dog ​​sneered, "If I hadn't come, you would have been fast asleep by now!"

Lan Hua laughed and said, "There are many ways to die, but dying in your sleep is indeed a novel method!"

He glanced around and found that Wang Jinyu, Jiang Xinghai, and the others were fast asleep and not making any noise.

The big grey dog ​​said, "Stop looking, I've confused them all!"

"I'm not kidding you. I've been here for so long and you didn't even notice!"

Lan Hua's expression changed slightly. "Brother Hui, what's going on?"

"You've been poisoned, a very potent poison, which is why you feel so sleepy. In a few days, you'll die in your sleep!"

Lan Hua's expression changed drastically, and she murmured, "How could this be? How could someone be poisoned when they were perfectly healthy?"

The big grey dog ​​calmly said, "Think carefully, have you been in contact with anything recently?"

"Could it be the white mist inside the black box?"

"But that doesn't seem right. Jiang Xinghai was there too. It's impossible that I'm the only one who has something to do!"

Lan Hua suddenly exclaimed, "It's her! Ye Jinlian once gave me a Yuan-Replenishing Pill in the Yinluo Sect's secret chamber, and after taking it, my Yuan Power did indeed recover quite a bit!"

The big grey dog ​​said, "Then she might have tampered with the Qi-replenishing pill!"

Lan Hua felt very depressed when she thought about how she had lived two lives, and how she still couldn't escape the fate of dying a violent death in her second life.

"Brother Grey, do I only have a few days left to live?"

"good!"

Lan Hua said, "But I didn't even get to see my beautiful master one last time!"

The big grey dog ​​suddenly uttered a shocking statement: "With me here, you won't die!"

Lan Hua was speechless. "Brother Hui, are you kidding me!"

The big gray dog ​​suddenly emitted a dazzling light, making Lan Hua unable to look directly at it.

After the light faded, a man in gray appeared before Lan Hua.

He had a slightly sleazy appearance, but vaguely looked like a decent human being, with a mark on his forehead that resembled three flames.

Lan Hua stared in disbelief, “Brother Hui… Brother Hui, you can actually transform into human form?”

The man in gray laughed and said, "My cultivation has long surpassed the Danxia Realm, so transforming into human form is naturally no problem!"

"My real name is Xiaotian, but you can still call me Brother Hui!"

Lan Hua thought to himself that this name really suited him.

Xiaotian suddenly stretched out his hands and placed them on Lanhua's back, channeling a powerful surge of demonic energy into Lanhua's body.

Lan Hua suddenly felt an intense heat within her body, and even the temperature inside the dungeon began to rise.

"Focus your mind and use your inner fire to protect your internal organs and meridians!"

After Xiaotian finished speaking, he increased the pressure with both hands.

A moment later, Lan Hua felt as if flames were burning inside her body, and her blood essence seemed to be boiling.

After a long while, Xiaotian finally put his hands away, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead, blurring the three flames.

Xiaotian smiled slightly, appearing extremely confident, "The poison you were in has already been neutralized by me!"

"This poison is extremely potent; there are very few people on the Xuanhuang Continent who can cure it!"

Lan Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

"This poison is so potent? Ye Jinlian said she was apprenticed to a master physician; could her master actually be a master of poisons?"

Lan Hua felt a wave of fear wash over her.

"Brother Grey, I want to ask you for a favor!"

"What is it?"

Lan Hua revealed his suspicion that Ye Jinlian was actually Bai Zhilan from back then.

Xiaotian laughed and said, "I'll find out when I go to Sunset Spring!"

In the following days, Lan Hua did not waste her time, but instead diligently cultivated the Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique and the Pill Heavenly Technique.

Improving one's strength is the only way to succeed.

He was unaware that the outside world had undergone tremendous changes.

On this day, the Dan God Temple faced an unprecedented crisis.

Because the Immortal Sword Sect and the Overlord Blade Sect joined forces to come to the Pill God Palace to demand justice.

It turned out that on that night, the people from the Immortal Sword Sect and the Overlord Blade Sect seized the black box, and before they even returned to the Immortal Sword Sect, they couldn't wait to open it.

They wanted to see what the great opportunity hidden in the Pill God Palace for millions of years was.

As a result, a strange white mist was released, instantly affecting Elders Fang He and Qin Chuan, and even Duan Chenglong was not spared.

Fortunately, Xu Chuan remained calm and did not follow Duan Chenglong over there, thus escaping a disaster.

The three instantly went berserk, their bodies covered in black silk, emanating a chilling black aura, and they killed anyone they saw.
