Chapter 81: Their Purpose Converges
Wu Che said, "I don't know. Let's wake them up first and then ask them."
Nan Sining nodded, and the three of them took out the exorcism pills and gave them to several people.
The effect of the pill refined by Nan Sining was incredible. After each person took one pill, the black air on their face faded away visibly, gradually revealing a fair complexion.
After feeding them the pills, Nan Sining stood by and carefully observed their changes. This was a rare opportunity to observe the effects of the pills he had made.
After a while, the female cultivator who looked the oldest woke up first.
She opened her hazy eyes, and for a moment, she couldn't accept that she was still alive.
After blinking slowly, a beautiful face suddenly appeared before her eyes and said to her, "Hey! Are you awake? How are you feeling?"
"Thank...thank you so much for saving me, fellow disciples..." The female cultivator was still a little out of breath as she spoke.
Nan Si Ning waved his hand. "Don't be so quick to thank me. How are you feeling now? How is the demonic poison in your body being cleared?"
Wu Che and Xing Yan also came over curiously.
Seeing her fellow disciples, the female cultivator felt more at ease. After catching her breath a little, she spoke more fluently. "I feel much better. Aside from feeling heavy and having difficulty using my spiritual power, I'm sure I'll survive."
Nan Si Ning turned to Xing Yan and said, "Remember this. This is our firsthand information on alchemy."
Xing Yan nodded obediently, quickly summoned the jade token, and wrote down what the female cultivator had said.
Nan Si Ning continued to look at the female cultivator expectantly: "And then? Anything else?"
The female cultivator felt a little confused. She thought this kind fellow disciple was concerned about her, but now it seems that is not the case?
She covered her head. "And... I feel like my mind is getting clearer. Before, after the poisoning, I was drowsy and my brain wasn't working. But I can't rely on my spiritual power to recover because it's stagnant and can't function."
Nan Sining nodded and fed her another spiritual pill.
After taking the elixir, the other person's pale face looked better.
"This... this spiritual replenishing pill is so powerful! There's no need for meditation or breathing, the abundant spiritual energy has entered the eight extraordinary meridians, limbs and bones! It's so comfortable! The spiritual energy feels so abundant! Dantian feels much more comfortable! Junior sister, how could you give me such a powerful spiritual replenishing pill? No... No, no! You... You are Senior Sister Nan?!" The female cultivator's mind gradually became clear, and she finally reacted.
Nan Si Ning nodded: "It's me. It turns out that my Exorcist Pill works better with my Soul-Replenishing Pill. Fifth Brother, please give a Soul-Replenishing Pill to the others as well!"
Wu Che agreed and fed the remaining people with spiritual nourishing pills.
The female cultivator looked at this scene in amazement and was really shocked by Nan Si Ning's generosity.
Such a good and precious elixir, Nan Si Ning and the others gave it to everyone without hesitation! She didn't even recognize them!
The female cultivator was immediately moved and grateful.
In addition to the first female cultivator who woke up, Nan Si Ning also asked everyone else about their feelings and changes, and Xing Yan, who followed behind him, took careful notes.
After asking about their experience with the elixir, Wu Che couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't the sect give you any elixirs that can remove the demonic poison?"
Several people showed bitter expressions: "The sect did distribute some pills, and each person got two exorcism pills. But ours were stolen!"
"Stolen?!" Wu Che and Nan Sining were both very surprised.
It had only been a short time since we entered the secret realm, and it had already been stolen.
After hearing the stories from several people, Nan Sining realized that the mustard seed bags and space rings in the world of cultivation were not 100% safe. Besides, others could steal your mustard seed bag and space ring. If the space magic weapon you used was not high-level enough and the formation on it was not advanced enough, then people with high cultivation levels or special magic weapons could steal things from your mustard seed bag or space ring.
To put it bluntly, it is determined by the level of strength.
"We are so lucky to have met you three this time, otherwise we would have died here." Several people were thankful and expressed their gratitude. "We at Chengyang Peak are grateful for the help of Senior Brother Wu and Senior Sister Nan this time. We will remember their kindness in our hearts. After returning to the sect, we will report the matter to our master. If Cijian Peak needs us at Chengyang Peak in the future, we will do our best to help!"
Chengyang Peak wasn't even a third-tier peak within the Canglan Sect. The disciples who participated in the competition this time were desperately trying to secure a third-tier peak spot for Chengyang Peak, but they nearly died before they could even begin.
The gratitude of these people is naturally beyond words.
Nan Si Ning and Wu Che were grateful to the others and asked how they got poisoned.
"Speaking of this, we're a little confused too," the leading female cultivator said, somewhat bewilderedly. "According to the sect's instructions, the Yingzhao Spring, where we're supposed to complete our mission, shouldn't be far from here. We were just about to head there, but halfway through, we seemed to encounter a spider web. At first, there were no abnormalities, but later, the demonic poison took effect, and we collapsed here."
"When the senior sister reminded us that we were poisoned by the devil, we wanted to find the demon-exorcising pill given by the sect, but we found that we couldn't find it at all!" another person added.
"This is really strange. After being teleported to the secret realm, we haven't met anyone else except us sisters and brothers. We don't even know when we lost the elixir."
They had no idea that they would be infected with the demonic poison simply by accidentally touching a spider web. After being poisoned, they also discovered that their demon-repelling pills had been stolen, which was a double blow.
This matter seems more and more weird.
After several people told what had happened, Nan Sining discovered that Luo Qingyao and others who had set up the trap had never shown up, so these people didn't know who wanted to harm them.
Wu Che asked, "Were you all teleported together with Yunxiao Peak and Cijian Peak?"
Several people nodded in unison.
Wu Che clapped his hands and said, "Junior Sister, there's no doubt it was Yunxiao Peak who did it. The fact that the people from Chengyang Peak were able to gather together was probably Luo Qingyao's doing. It wasn't just luck at all."
These words startled Cheng Yangfeng and the others: "How...how could this be?"
"Our Chengyang Peak isn't even a third-class peak. It's worlds apart from Yunxiao Peak. There's no need for them to target us, right?"
"Yes, we have never sinned against them in the past."
…
Looking at the panicked people, Nan Si Ning's eyes were filled with pity: "Because you Chengyang Peak are weak, they can take advantage of you without any burden. Even if you have no connection, they can still target you as long as they want."
Just like the famous saying: What's it to you if I destroy you?
The people from Chengyang Peak were suddenly hit hard and some of them were unable to recover.
Nan Sining shook his head slightly: This is what it looks like when an honest person is hit by the truth of the world.
Wu Che was still full of questions. "Junior Sister, why do you think they poisoned the people from Chengyang Peak? The people from Chengyang Peak don't have any valuables on them, so the people from Yunxiao Peak wouldn't be interested in them. Why would they go out of their way to steal their things?"
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment and shook his head. "I can't guess their purpose for now, but I am certain that among the 100 people who were transported together at that time, not only were we bundled together and transported together, but those other seemingly unrelated disciples were also tricked into doing so."
Wu Che couldn't help but gasp, "One hundred people? All arranged? In just that short moment of teleportation?"
Nan Si Ning said with a half-smile, "Just that short moment? What are you thinking! Couldn't they have rigged the situation from the moment they drew the lots? Have you forgotten how they targeted us at Cijian Peak during the competition?"
Wu Che was even more shocked now. "But, Li Shiqing and the others have been sent out by the Great Elder. Who else can they let do this to?"
Nan Si Ning said: "How do I know this? I am just guessing based on the way and style of Luo Qingyao doing bad things."
Since Luo Qingyao's identity as a demonic cultivator had been exposed, and Sect Master Zhao Shiquan knew that the elders were also aware of it, it was impossible for them not to make some preparations in advance. What was cheating in the lottery? I'm afraid their purpose was even more terrifying!
"We must tell our senior sisters and brothers about this!" said Nan Sining.
After telling the senior sisters and brothers about what happened to Chengyang Peak and his group, Nan Si Ning thought for a moment and then passed on information such as the appearance, names, and cultivation levels of several people.
The people from Chengyang Peak who were listening to the discussion between the two senior brothers and sisters were trembling with fear.
They never imagined that the high and mighty Yunxiao Peak could have so many tricks! They also never expected that a small and transparent peak like theirs would be used as a pawn and calculated!
Seeing that they had recovered a lot, Nan Si Ning said, "Your exorcism pills were stolen. I'll give you a few more. You can rest here. Once the remaining poison is cleared, you can continue your mission!"
As she spoke, she asked Xing Yan to take out a bottle of exorcism pill and hand it to the leading female cultivator.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Nan, for your generous gift. It's just... it's just..." The female cultivator seemed to find it difficult to speak.
Wu Che was a little impatient with this and said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are all from the same sect."
The female cultivator seemed to have just made up her mind and said, "I have a humble request. Can we stay with the two senior brothers and sisters?"
He actually made such a request. It seemed that he was frightened by what Wu Che from Nan Si Ning had just said.
Or perhaps, he was frightened by Yunxiaofeng's insidiousness and cruelty.
Nan Si Ning said, "I understand your fear, but if you want to go with us, I'm afraid it's not possible. I'm sure you've heard about the grudge between me and Luo Qingyao. If she gets the chance, she will definitely kill me. If you follow me, your fate will not be any better."
When a few people thought about it, they agreed and suddenly felt that life was meaningless.
Wu Che also agreed: "Yes, it is safest for you to stay away from us."
The people from Chengyang Peak obviously realized this and looked at Nan Sining with some sympathy and sadness.
Nan Si Ning said, "How about this? Since Yingzhao Spring is not far from here, we will send you there. Perhaps you can meet other fellow disciples there, and you can travel with them."
The people of Chengyang Peak agreed without much hesitation.
After they had almost recovered, they set out again.
"Senior Sister Nan, Senior Brother Wu, should we use magical weapons to defend ourselves so as not to run into something like a spider web again?"
It's a psychological shadow.
Nan Si Ning has Xing Yan following her. Not only can Xing Yan give her early warning, she can also use this ability of Xing Yan, so she is not afraid at all.
"Just follow me, and I will never let you encounter such danger again," said Nan Sining.
Seeing that she was not worried at all, the people from Chengyang Peak obviously had a plan for success, and they immediately felt relieved. They also felt that Senior Sister Nan was worthy of being Senior Sister Nan, and no problem could stump her.
Nan Si Ning didn't know that his image in the hearts of his fellow disciples at Chengyang Peak had risen a bit.
The Reflection Spring is indeed not far away, and the task is not difficult. It just requires passing the test of the fish monster in the lake.
This kind of task does not require ten people to be present to complete it. Even if only one person is present, it will be considered as the achievement of one's own sect.
"Junior sister, I can go alone. You can rest here for a while." Wu Che said.
Perhaps because he had successfully sent away two disciples from Yunxiao Peak, and had the disciples from Chengyang Peak to compare with him, Wu Che was extremely confident and felt that he could complete the task alone.
Nan Sining didn't stop him. After all, it was a low-level mission and he wouldn't lose his life.
There was indeed a group of sect disciples who were on a mission gathered near Yingzhao Spring. Seeing so many people, the people from Chengyang Peak were obviously relieved, as if there would be no danger if there were more people.
Wu Che went to do the mission, Nan Si Ning sat not far away and watched, and Xing Yan followed her obediently.
The fight with the fish monster was quite fierce. The fish monster was not a high-level monster, but there were huge numbers of them.
Wu Che's cultivation level is not high among his fellow disciples, but his performance is good and he can be considered as one of those who is at ease.
Nan Si Ning lowered her head and told her senior sisters and brothers that she and Wu Che had arrived at Yingzhao Spring and completed the mission. Then she looked up and saw Xing Yan picking up a few relatively intact fish monster corpses. "Sister, what use are the fish monster corpses?"
Nan Si Ning frowned as he smelled the stench. The fish monster was really ordinary, and there were no useful materials for refining medicine or weapons on its body. It was even more inedible, and seemed to be of no use at all.
But looking at Xing Yan's expectant eyes, Nan Si Ning felt that if she refused directly, she would probably hurt his feelings. So she racked her brains and said, "This fishy smell is unique. Maybe it can be made into a stink bomb? If you meet someone you hate and can't hurt them directly, you can just use a stink bomb on them and suffocate them to death! Hmm... can you even burn them into ashes and plant spiritual plants?"
The spiritual plant garden grows spiritual rice, spiritual wheat and other spiritual plants, as well as spiritual plants needed by alchemists. Their spiritual plant gardens are everywhere in the mountains and plains of Yaowang City.
It’s just that different spiritual plants have different planting and maintenance methods, and Nan Sining doesn’t know whether the ash is useful or not.
But his purpose of coaxing Xing Yan was achieved, and he immediately said, "I'll go get some more!"
Nan Si Ning hurriedly warned, "Don't disturb those who are doing their mission. Just pick up some fish and bring them back!"
"Okay!" Xing Yan also responded loudly and ran to the spring happily.
Now he is more concerned about picking up trash than Nan Sining. Nan Sining feels that his teaching is really successful.
When Wu Che returned from completing his mission, he saw the pile of fish monster corpses in the distance and asked, "What is Xing Yan doing with all that?"
Nan Si Ning said, "I haven't decided yet. It could be used as compost or to make stink bombs."
In addition to the fish monster's corpse, Xing Yan also picked up a lot of discarded magical weapons.
Wu Che knew that his junior sister could use these discarded magical weapons to refine new ones. He had never heard of any weapon refiner having this ability.
All the raw materials used by weapon refiners are raw ores, original animal skins, scales, armor, hair, etc.
"Xiao Xingxing, the corpses of these fish monsters are too conspicuous here, let's put them away quickly!" said Nan Sining.
Xing Yan agreed and quickly collected all the fish monster's corpses. He said, "Don't worry, sister. I will hide it well. You won't be able to find it, let alone smell it."
Xing Yan's space moved completely according to his wishes. He wanted to isolate a place to put the fish, and others really couldn't find it.
Xing Yan's plan was quite comprehensive: "I'll follow my sister's pickling method, control the temperature and humidity, and let the fish monster ferment properly. It will definitely stink enough to make others go crazy!"
Wu Che felt like vomiting after hearing this.
Nan Si Ning held his forehead slightly and couldn't help laughing. Xing Yan was really too knowledgeable and learned everything.
Nan Sining taught Zhou Lixing how to pickle sauerkraut, but he never taught Xingyan. Xingyan actually learned it just by watching.
Wu Che was speechless and said, "Junior Sister, Xing Yan is really learning how to make spiritual food? I thought Third Brother was joking!"
Nan Si Ning shook his head: "I didn't teach you!"
The methods of making spiritual food that she taught Zhou Lixing were all explained verbally, and the actual practice still depended on Zhou Lixing himself. How could she teach Xing Yan?
Xing Yan said obediently: "I want to learn from Third Senior Brother so that I can make spiritual food for my sister in the future, but Third Senior Brother seems unwilling to teach me."
He just wanted to do something for his sister, but the third senior brother was still petty.
Nan Si Ning felt something was a little strange when he heard this. Why did Xing Yan's tone sound so teasy? He had never taught this before!
Wu Che mercilessly exposed the situation, saying, "Third Senior Brother loves to make spiritual food for Junior Sister. It's also what he's best at. If he teaches you, how will he make it for her? You're trying to steal his job! Of course, Third Senior Brother won't agree to your request."
Xing Yan nodded and said, "That is to say, Third Senior Brother also wants to compete for favor, so he doesn't want to teach me the means to do so."
Nan Si Ning couldn't help but hold his forehead again. Hasn't Second Senior Brother been teaching him all this time? Why doesn't he seem to have made much progress? He dares to say anything.
Just as he was about to stop Xing Yan and tell him to stop talking nonsense, he suddenly received a message from Hua Shengqing. She yelled, "Senior sisters, junior sisters, senior brothers, and junior brothers, come here quickly! My eighth junior brother and I have caught up with Luo Qingyao and the others! They are bullying us because we are outnumbered, come here quickly!"
The last sentence was so loud that the voice was split.
Nan Si Ning's heart trembled, and he immediately dropped all his trivial matters and said, "Let's go! Let's go there quickly!"
Wu Che nodded, and the three of them boarded their flying magic tools and flew out in a hurry without even saying hello to the people from Chengyang Peak.
Hua Shengqing gave the location, and with Xing Yan as the "navigator", the place was easy to find and not far away.
Even from a long distance away, one could see the radiating sword lights and the sounds made by various magical instruments being activated.
Wu Che just said, "I'll go first!" and then he picked up his sword and rushed forward to kill.
Nan Si Ning was not willing to be left behind and said to Xing Yan, "Let's go up and fight too! Use your spatial ability to trap them and prevent them from escaping!"
Xing Yan responded and rushed forward immediately.
This kid hasn't helped Nan Si Ning fight since he came out of the Strange Fire Secret Realm. He has been waiting for an opportunity. During the competition in the ring, Nan Si Ning refused to let him fight. Today he finally got the chance.
When Nan Sining rushed forward, he found that there were three people fighting with Hua Shengqing and Cong Chen, and there was no sign of Luo Qingyao at all.
The other three were all at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, so it was easy for them to defeat Hua Shengqing and Cong Chen. However, Hua Shengqing and Cong Chen had the ability to borrow Xing Yan's spatial abilities, allowing them to teleport and continuously replenish their spiritual energy. Therefore, Hua Shengqing and Cong Chen only held the three back, and determining the winner was not that easy.
After Wu Che joined the battle, the situation did not change much.
Hua Shengqing was also anxious: "Why are you two here?"
The two people who came were the most weakest ones in Cijian Peak.
Let’s forget about Junior Sister. She’s an alchemist so it’s normal that she can’t fight. But Fifth Senior Brother is also a lazy guy whose swordsmanship is mediocre!
At this time, Hua Shengqing's heart was filled with despair.
Wu Che knew she felt she couldn't fight, but he felt incredibly strong right now, so he responded, "What's wrong with the two of us? We can both make them scream!"
In fact, as soon as he rushed in, if Cong Chen had not pulled him back, he would have been stabbed.
