Southern Yan Kingdom, Holy Spirit Valley.
As dusk fell, candles were lit in the cottage. A breeze blew, and the lanterns on the eaves swayed. A moth that was trying to fly into the fire had its wings burned, and it successfully flew into the fire and died.
"Huh..." Yinmu blew away the dead moth that had fallen, picked at the rice in his bowl, and asked vaguely, "Sister, what did you do to her? Why isn't she awake yet?"
"Ah... No, I didn't do anything. I just used the insect to check her physical condition." Yintong felt guilty.
I just wanted to use her to test the symptoms and duration of the poison that I have refined so far. She can't be killed by the poison anyway, so it would be a waste not to use it.
"Then why isn't she awake yet? She was just frightened and fainted. She shouldn't...ah." Yinmu suddenly thought of something and narrowed his eyes. He knew that his elder sister must have done something, but he didn't expose her and continued to eat.
Inside the house, Ji Zhu slept restlessly. Her hands were clenched into fists. In her ears, there were the constant chirping of insects and the sound of fleshworms gnawing at tree trunks...
"It hurts, don't bite me, don't bite me..." She murmured and struggled, but she couldn't move. She was a tree, a dying tree -
In a lush forest, a dead tree is so conspicuous that passing birds will stop to take a look, and practitioners are no exception.
Xiao Yuer: "Look, there's a dead tree here. How strange! Everyone else is fine, why is this one dead?"
Rong Chaoxi: "It seems to still have breath."
Cang Mo: "Is there any hope of salvation?"
Rong Chaoxi: "It's riddled with holes, there's no hope..."
Ye He: "...It's insect-eaten. Jinglan, give it an electric shock to kill the insects before it spreads to the entire forest."
A bolt of lightning struck, and the curious monk left.
In the dense and lush forest, a dead poplar stump with a charred interior stubbornly survived.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed, and the lightning-struck tree came to life, left the forest, and stepped into the world of cultivation.
A hundred years ago, they were just young cultivators at the Qin Xin realm, but now they were already well-known figures in the world of cultivation. She found them easily and wanted to stay with them, but they didn't want her because they thought she was too weak.
Her body had withered, and the transformation into a spirit had consumed all her strength, so she could no longer improve.
Later, she heard from other cultivators about the method of changing one's fate by possessing another's body. She took over the body of a newly transformed clam spirit. She practiced desperately... By the time she had established a certain position in the world of cultivation, they had already become immortals and were fighting against this absurd world.
It turns out that the so-called immortality is all a "weird" lie from another world. Ye He told everyone the truth with his death...
Later, the Creation Tree appeared and rescued her. Together they drove away the "weirdness" and created a new order.
They stood at the top of the world, and she knew that she would never catch up with them... A thousand years after the world was at peace, someone unexpectedly wanted to rebel against the Heavenly Palace, and she found it interesting and joined.
If I can't stand by her side, it's better to stand against her.
Ye He's casual words gave her life, and she wanted her to remember her forever...
"Chirp..." The pain on the forehead forced the sleeping person to wake up. When Ji Zhu opened her eyes, a little bird was pecking at her head.
"Go away..." She raised her hand and waved it, but she felt weak and powerless, and she couldn't use her magic power.
She sat up suddenly, then felt dizzy and was forced to lie down again. The feeling of being eaten by insects all over her body when she was born came over her.
"Damn it! What did they do to me?"
She was already a Golden Immortal, her body intact, and the tactics of mortals were powerless against her. However, she was a tree infested by insects, and her soul's instincts gave her a natural fear of insects. Yin Tong subdued the immortal by accident.
After lying in bed for a while, Jizhu regained some strength, got up and opened the door. The eaves bell rang, and something suddenly appeared in front of her. Thinking of the insect that fell earlier, she subconsciously raised her hand to wave it away, but her wrist was caught.
"You're awake." It was Yinmu.
Fortunately, her magic power had not yet recovered and no one was hurt.
Feeling that the direction of the sunlight was wrong, she asked, "Have I slept for a long time?"
"Not long, just one day and one night." Yinmu took a jar from the stone platform. Thinking of yesterday's memory, Jizhu raised her hand to cover her face, "Don't give it to me."
Yinmu paused as he lifted the lid, confused. "Don't you want to get treatment? Sister examined you yesterday. If you eat this poisonous insect, you'll be cured in 49 days."
"Seventy-seven days!" The man who always spoke slowly and gently raised his voice by eight degrees, which was a bit harsh. Yinmu scratched his ears.
"Yes, one a day..."
Before she finished explaining the treatment process, Ji Zhu protested, "I don't want it, I don't want it this way. Can you try another method? Don't you have herbs? You have so many medicines here."
"Pah—" Yinmu closed the lid, looking a little impatient. "Those medicines are for raising poisonous insects, not for curing diseases. Didn't you know Granny Wu was a poison doctor before you came? She always uses poisonous insects to treat diseases, not medicine. If you want medicine, go get treatment outside."
He turned and walked to the winnowing basket where the Gu was being raised. "But Wu Zhi has to stay. It's because you don't want to be treated, not because we don't want to treat it."
"You..." Ji Zhu gritted her teeth secretly, her hands moved, her magic power returned, she cast a mask on her eyes, calmed her mind, and returned to the gentle state she had when they first met, and asked, "You seem... don't like me?"
Although she was not bright and beautiful, she was gentle and lively, with an appearance that people could not forget after seeing her for the first time. Why did the young man in front of her look so displeased with her?
Yinmu glanced at her strangely, lowered his head and spread out some grass for the insect, "If you want to be cured, eat the insect. If you don't want to be cured, leave."
