Seven people went out and one returned.
The man in red looked at Tie Ruonan, who was poisoned and seriously injured, in disbelief: "You...are all...dead? All seven of you Night Walkers were killed by one person?!"
"He used poison." Tie Ruonan couldn't hold on any longer and sat down. "We didn't check for a while, so we all got poisoned."
She paused and said, "Now that I think about it, he was able to hunt down the Night Walker before because he used poison."
"What kind of poison? So strong?" The man in red took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked.
Tie Ruonan raised her hand with all her strength, motioning the man in red to look for himself, and said, "How would I know what the poison is? Help me take a look. You have to save me."
She is just a crude body cultivator.
The man in red reacted, took Tie Ruonan's hand and began to take his pulse.
"Then how did you survive?" he asked while taking her pulse.
"His actual combat power was not strong..." Tie Ruonan panted, "He thought we were all poisoned to death. But he didn't know that I could seal the heart meridian and lock the poison in his body. I killed him with one knife while he was not paying attention."
The man in red nodded, looked at Tie Ruonan, and asked, "There were so many casualties in this mission, how are you going to explain this to the island owner?"
Tie Ruonan remained silent.
The red-clothed man felt Tie Ruonan's pulse and found out what was going on inside his body. He frowned and said, "No wonder you got poisoned too. This poison is really powerful. It's a compound toxin that can kill people instantly and weaken their cultivation. It's very tricky."
"Difficult? Do you have a way to detoxify?" Although Tie Ruonan was weak, her eyes were still fierce. She stared at the man in red and asked, "It has been eating away at my cultivation. I can't keep it sealed for too long. I feel like the strength in my body is draining away every moment."
"I naturally have a way to detoxify..." The man in red was a little surprised and asked Tie Ruonan, "Have you forgotten that I am an alchemist?"
Tie Ruonan's heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if she was excited because she knew she had a chance of survival. Her fierce aura relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I forgot."
He said twice more, "It's good that you are an alchemist, it's good that you are an alchemist."
The man in red looked at Tie Ruonan with suspicion, thinking that she had been through many dangerous situations, had escaped death, and had been poisoned, and the poison had invaded her already not very smart brain. So he didn't think much of it.
"Although this poison is ingenious, it is not without a cure." He said, "Don't talk anymore. Take two healing pills first to stop the external injuries, then meditate and heal yourself. Leave the poison to me."
"Hurry up." Tie Ruonan urged, "I can't control the poison anymore."
"I reflected on myself." The man in red stood up, turned around and walked quickly towards the depths of the cave and the mountain wall.
Tie Ruonan sat up softly behind him, watching his movements. He walked to the bottom of the mountain wall, turned around and walked towards the huge pit, and then as he walked, he disappeared above the huge pit.
"Just as I expected, the huge pit is indeed just a part of the formation!" Tie Ruonan raised his eyebrows and closed his eyes.
The giant pit digested the corpse, and it must have obtained something that could affect the seal. But this cave was empty and vast, and at a glance, there was nothing to see, and there was no place to store the products of the giant pit.
So we know that the huge pit must be only a part of the formation. The more important part of the formation is hidden.
The actions of the man in red at this time confirmed his guess.
This Tie Ruonan is naturally not Tie Ruonan, but Qin Ran who transformed into Tie Ruonan.
The real Tie Ruonan's soul had been shattered and his body had turned into ashes, completely disappearing in the vast ocean.
The poison in his body was certainly not the poison from the Death Pill, but a poison that he simulated with his rich knowledge of elixirs and his body that could change into a myriad of water forms.
The Night Walker had been dealt with by Qin Ran, so he only needed to deal with the person guarding the formation in the cave. The things in the giant pit and the things produced to target the seal would be his.
"But don't worry, I can stay here for a long time under the pretext of recuperating." Qin Ran thought to himself, "The Shenhua Mountain incident will soon be over, and the cultivators have all left. The number of cultivators left in Shenhua Mountain will decrease. Shenhua Mountain will become safe, and I still have plenty of time."
"So what should we do next?" He began to organize his thoughts. "Kill those guarding the formation, crack the formation on the giant pit or find a way to enter the hidden space. How to kill them? There is only one death pill left.
"Also... why is that man in red an alchemist? And not a formation master? Is there any hidden secret behind this?
"What's in that hidden space? Is there anyone else?"
While organizing his thoughts, he let his soul emerge from between his eyebrows, raised his eyes to look at the seal on the mountain wall, and began to dismantle the basic formation pattern.
The owner of Longjing Island has been preparing for so many years, but he has not received the inheritance of the old demon Shenhua from Shenhua Mountain, so he cannot have too much hope for the current arrangement. There is a high probability that he will have to do it himself.
Therefore, dismantling the basic array pattern is also something he must do.
He had already disassembled a basic array pattern, just like finding the end of a ball of yarn. The subsequent disassembly work became very simple.
These days, he hunted night walkers at night and was not idle during the day, busy dismantling the basic formation patterns.
So up to now, he has actually mastered eleven completely different basic formations.
"I wonder how many basic array patterns this seal uses..." He thought as he disassembled it, "But this is a seal from 70,000 years ago. The basic array patterns from 70,000 years ago definitely weren't as many as the basic array patterns today."
During the 70,000 years of formation development, many new basic formation patterns must have appeared.
Time passed by little by little, and a night passed quickly. Kieran disassembled two new basic array patterns.
By this time, he could already understand the part of the seal he had been dismantling recently.
There are thirteen basic array patterns, and he can actually use these thirteen basic array patterns to arrange and combine them and set up the array.
At noon, the man in red finally came out of the hidden space and brought a pill, an antidote for Qin Ran.
Qin Ran took it and looked at it, a vague smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
With his current level of alchemy, he could tell most of the details about a pill just by looking at its color, smell, and the distribution of spiritual energy in it.
And this pill...
Very interesting.
"What's wrong? Captain Tie, is there something wrong with the pill?" asked the man in red, frowning.
Qin Ran quickly shook his head and smiled weakly, "I am just a body cultivator, how can I tell whether a pill is good or bad?"
After saying that, he threw the pill in his hand into his mouth.
Seeing Qin Ran taking the pill, the red-clothed man's expression eased and he smiled. He said, "This is the detoxification pill I made for you, Captain Tie, using many precious spiritual medicines. It's considered a low-grade pill!"
“I see!” Qin Ran smiled at the man in red, clasped his fists, and expressed his gratitude. “Thank you very much, sir! I just took the pill and I feel much better.”
"It's good that you know." The man in red glanced at him, turned around and walked back to the hidden space. "This is today's share. I'll go make tomorrow's share for you. The poison you've been poisoned with is really strong. I'm afraid it will take ten days to completely remove it."
"Thank you so much for your help, sir!" Qin Ran apologized, but as he looked at the slowly disappearing figure of the man in red, murderous intent was faintly visible in the deepest part of his eyes.
The detoxification pill was indeed a detoxification pill, and it could detoxify the poison he had simulated in his body. However, this detoxification pill contained something else, another kind of poison. A chronic poison that could be hidden.
"Why did he poison Tie Ruonan?" He was puzzled. "Has he discovered me?"
"No... If he found me, he should have gathered people to deal with me directly; even if he was worried that he couldn't beat me, he should have poisoned me with a strong poison. This was obviously a backup plan, or a poison to threaten Tie Ruonan.
“…He is interested in a woman like Tie Ruonan?
"But if he hadn't found me, he would have poisoned Tie Ruonan. Could it be that he had a grudge against Tie Ruonan? But Tie Ruonan is already the core confidant of the Dragon Whale Island owner...
"Is there a possibility that he is a real traitor, an undercover agent! Is he actually from another force?"
After analyzing this, he shook his head, "It doesn't matter. Whether he is from another force or not, I must kill him. Whether he poisoned me or not, it has no effect on me."
So he threw the man in red aside and hurried to break the seal.
In the next ten days, Qin Ran disassembled 101 basic array patterns and took ten detoxification pills from the man in red.
Under his control, the poison in his body gradually disappeared, and the symptoms of poisoning and injury also gradually eased. Of course, the toxin from the man in red was also carefully gathered by him.
“Captain Tie, how do you feel?” The man in red asked caringly when he saw Qin Ran take the tenth detoxification pill he had carefully prepared.
Qin Ran pretended to be self-aware and replied, "It's at least 70% done. Your alchemy skills are really high! I really admire you."
The man in red looked at him and motioned for him to use his hand to feel his pulse.
"Yeah!" He nodded and said, "The toxins have actually been cleared. It's just that the internal organs damaged by the toxins have not yet recovered. The next step is to recuperate."
"The poison has been cleared?" Qin Ran was pleasantly surprised and said quickly, "Thank you very much, sir! Your miraculous medicine saved my life. From now on, if you need anything, just let me know and I won't frown."
The man in red glanced at him and said, "We are both working for the island owner, so there is no need to be polite, Captain." "I'll go make you some healing pills..." He stood up and asked, "When does Captain Tie plan to go back?"
"Now that the toxin has been cleared, we will return to Dragon Whale Island in the next two days." Qin Ran replied.
The red-clothed man hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain Tie, please stay for another five days! I can use the elixir to help you recover."
Qin Ran naturally knew what the red-clothed man was thinking. He needed five days to make him completely poisoned.
So he smiled and said, "That's fine, but it's too much trouble, sir."
The man in red smiled, shook his head, and said, "Nothing." Then he disappeared into the hidden space again.
As he watched the red-clothed man disappear, a smile appeared on Qin Ran's lips.
"You don't want me to leave, and I don't want to leave either. You need time to poison me, and I need time to break the formation."
He closed his eyes, and his soul flew out from between his eyebrows. When it reached a certain height, he could see the height of the giant pit clearly. Then, the power of his soul started to operate and he began to dismantle the basic formation pattern of the giant pit.
It's time for him to break the formation where the huge pit is.
The giant pit formation is a formation arranged for sealing, and the basic formation pattern used in it is the basic formation pattern of the seal.
Qin Ran has already mastered more than a hundred basic seal formations. Now it is too easy for him to dismantle this giant pit formation which is much simpler than the seal.
It felt like cracking the simple array formation in Lingnan Territory. All I had to do was find the basic array pattern, deduce the basic array formation, and then arrange and combine it.
In other words, he had been working on the final question, and now he was going back to work on the easy questions at the beginning...
In two days, he had dismantled the formation where the giant pit was located. In another day and a half, he used the basic formation patterns he knew to deduce all the basic formations of the giant pit.
Before he took the last healing medicine from the red-clothed man, he had already figured out how to break the giant pit formation, and...
How to enter the hidden space!
So he took the pill and squeezed the red-clothed man's hand.
"Tie... Captain Tie!" The man in red was shocked when his hand was pinched by Tie Ruonan's slender and rough hand. He knew that Tie Ruonan was a playboy, but he didn't expect him to attack him in such a situation. He quickly pulled his hand away, but didn't dare to say anything, so he said, "Captain, please respect yourself!"
He was also thinking that if Tie Ruonan really forced herself on him, he would force the poison to take effect on her.
But when he saw Tie Ruonan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, raised his head, his eyes slowly moved upwards, and he looked at him with a strange smile on his face.
"Captain?!" He realized something was wrong. He pulled his hand away again, but still nothing happened.
He is an alchemist, the most standard alchemist, the kind of alchemist whose frontal combat power is terribly low.
"Is poisoning fun?" Captain Tie in front of him spoke, and a male voice was mixed in with her rough female voice.
"What?" The man in red was shocked. Was his poisoning discovered?
"Who are you?" He realized that the person in front of him didn't seem to be Tie Ruonan.
"It doesn't matter who I am." The man in front of him raised his head completely, looked up at him, smiled wildly, and said to him fiercely, "What's important is...
“You’re already dead!!”
As soon as these words came out, the man in red, whose brain was attacked by fear, didn't have time to say anything before he felt his body quickly weakening and empty.
He lowered his head and saw that his hand, which was held by Tie Ruonan, had become dry; he looked back at himself and saw that the water in his body was evaporating like boiling water, and was controlled by Tie Ruonan and suspended in the air.
"You are..." he asked, "Who?!"
These were his last words as a human being.
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell towards Tie Ruonan weakly.
His last vague perception was that Tie Ruonan was hugging him, with his other hand pressing on his forehead, and whispering in his ear: "I am Li Feiyu."
He heard a clear male voice, and then he felt like he was flying.
He flew into the air, opened his eyes in confusion, and saw a man in front of him whom he had never seen before.
"Spirit Refiner?" he asked.
The man didn't say anything, but smiled at him. Then he opened his mouth, which became bigger and bigger until he could swallow him in one bite.
Kieran helped the red-clothed man's withered body to stand up, freed the hand that was holding his, took out the Water Pearl, and used the water drawn from his body to condense a sword.
He closed his eyes, with a smile on his face, and carefully comprehended the memories of the man in red.
But then, the smile on his face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he instantly became extremely serious.
He recited each word aloud, and there was even fear in his voice:
"Yuan! Zu! Zu! Weaving!!!"
