Zheng Ya hid in the forest and used illusions on the enemies one by one, instead of going up to them face-to-face to stimulate their nerves, which would hinder the effectiveness of his illusion training.
After all, the more agitated a person is, the less conducive it is for Zheng Ya to use his illusion magic on them.
In less than ten minutes, the enemy all thought they had eaten something unclean, which caused everyone's limbs to be crippled and their heads to be splitting with pain to the point of near madness.
However, some people's semi-madness is very mild.
Especially the last twenty-seven people, almost none of them experienced headaches or memory confusion.
This led the enemy to believe that everyone had eaten the wrong thing and was poisoned.
The severity of poisoning varies, ranging from some people becoming half-mad to others simply feeling confused.
Little did they know that this was all due to Zheng Ya using them as guinea pigs to experiment on and train the three supernatural abilities to combine into a hallucinogenic spell.
When it came to the last twenty-seventh, twenty-eighth, and twenty-ninth enemy, they had basically mastered the supernatural illusion technique, which confused the minds of three people, creating an illusionary scenario.
"Boss, any news about the Muchen Pearl?" Twenty-Nine was the first to reveal his thoughts, followed by Twenty-Eight: "Damn those reclusive people, why haven't they shown up yet?"
“Those idiots are also getting involved, hoping they’ll become scapegoats, hehe,” Twenty-Seven muttered to himself.
The three of them entered their own dreamlike memories and became lost in them, revealing their true feelings through their own monologues.
This left the remaining people, who were screaming in terror, utterly bewildered.
Only then did Zheng Ya approach the enemy from the woods and administer the medicine to the victims on the cave floor.
Zheng Ya would use white mice to train his supernatural illusion magic while simultaneously retrieving Chinese medicinal herbs from his supernatural space and brewing the medicine in the forest to save people.
After all, all thirty-eight victims were drugged by the enemy.
This requires decocting medicine to save lives.
The first and second people to be saved were naturally Master and Mistress!
Old Sun slowly woke up and saw Zheng Ya feeding his wife medicine. He also realized that he was in a cave. Worried, he struggled to sit up and said, "Disciple, is it safe for you to come and rescue us?"
If there's any danger, you should call the police right away!
"Master, please rest assured!"
It's safe now. I've taken down all the enemies over there, and they're screaming in agony.
"You're all safe now. Once the effects of the medicine wear off and you've all recovered, we'll go home." Zheng Ya said lightly, but inwardly, a storm was raging.
Does the Muchen Pearl, this magical pearl that has been portrayed in novels and films, really exist?
That's something from tomb raiding novels and movies!
It is said that the Muchen Pearl possesses magical abilities, such as bringing people back to life and allowing them to travel through time and space—abilities that defy belief.
If Zheng Ya hadn't experienced being reborn three times, he would have just taken the Muchen Pearl as a story from a novel and wouldn't have taken it seriously.
But Zheng Ya is not the same as before, and he really hopes that the Muchen Pearl truly exists.
The fact that the Muchen Pearl truly exists is why it caused such a great upheaval among greedy individuals from all sides, which is not surprising.
Who made the Muchen Pearl have the potential to grant immortality?
This alone is enough to drive people to fight madly and resort to any means necessary.
The things involved with the Muchen Pearl are too numerous and complex.
Zheng Ya was at a loss.
The only information currently available about the Muchen Pearl is from a person outside the secular world, who should be the key person who knows the whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl.
Several enemy forces are pressuring the outsider to reveal himself in order to extract the Muchen Pearl from him.
This suggests that the person outside the secular world is very likely a member of the Chinese nation and a patriot.
Only in this way could the enemy target the patriotism and righteousness of those outside the secular world, creating great turmoil and forcing them to hand over the Muchen Pearl.
Otherwise, would we allow those outside the secular world to become unrighteous and immoral?
Zheng Ya obtained clues through the illusion of the enemy and made this judgment, but he was also helpless in the face of it.
Clearly, the enemy's key figures are not here.
It means everything is unknown.
Zheng Ya was at a loss as to how to handle the situation.
Old Sun regained some strength and struggled to his feet, saying, "Haha, that's good, it's good that you're alright."
"What the hell are those damned enemy agents doing, kidnapping so many people?"
"Master, this turmoil is not simple. It seems to be related to the Muchen Pearl. Does Master know anything about the Muchen Pearl?" Zheng Ya suddenly asked, thinking that his master, with his status, might know some things that outsiders do not.
Old Sun paused for a moment, then exclaimed in sudden realization, "Ah, so that's how it is! No wonder!"
"Oh, Master, so you know about the Muchen Pearl?"
"Of course, your master lived to be over eighty years old and had seen countless extraordinary people and things, the Muchen Pearl being one of them..."
Thanks to Elder Sun's explanation, Zheng Ya obtained some information about the Muchen Pearl.
During the Republic of China era, it was rumored that the Muchen Pearl was among the burial objects of Empress Dowager Cixi, which triggered warlords to rob the tomb.
As a result, a gunfight broke out, and the forces vying for the prize spanned the globe, all getting involved in the struggle for the Muchen Pearl.
Tens of thousands of people died at the time, and the war was still expanding outwards.
At this moment, a person from beyond the mundane world appeared, claiming to know the whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl and challenging others to come and seize it if they dared.
People from all sides did not believe the nonsense told by outsiders.
They mistakenly believed that the outsiders were using a diversionary tactic to help someone else obtain the Muchen Pearl, and thus ignored the matter.
However, the outsider produced an ancient gold-leaf painting book, revealing the form and written records of the Muchen Pearl. People from various factions believed it to be true and began to hunt down the outsider, trying to seize the gold-leaf painting book and the whereabouts of the Muchen Pearl.
The matter was ultimately dropped.
It is said that the people outside the secular world disappeared. It wasn't until people from various factions realized that the appearance of the people outside the secular world was to save the people they had harmed, which became the weakness of the people outside the secular world.
Unfortunately, that era was marked by constant warfare, and various factions tried to use the lives of ordinary people to coerce the recluses into handing over the gold leaf painting and the Muchen Pearl, but all their attempts failed.
This matter simply faded into the past, and no one mentioned it again.
The resurfacing of the Muchen Pearl has shocked the master and disciple to some extent, and this storm is not going to be easily quelled!
"Ah, Zheng Ya, you've come to save me, sob sob!" Chen Xueru woke up and threw herself against Zheng Ya's back, hugging his waist tightly and crying.
Caught completely off guard, Zheng Ya hadn't even had a chance to shake off her embrace when Xu Huizhen, now awake, threw herself into his arms: "I thought I'd never see you again, sob sob."
"Ahem," Zheng Ya saw that this situation had become the focus of attention among the rescued people, and awkwardly raised his hand to stop it: "Okay, everyone is watching."
Is it appropriate for you to get this worked up?
"Oh dear!" Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru both snapped out of their daze, let go of Zheng Ya's strong body reluctantly, and shyly retreated to the side.
The master's wife chimed in with a smile, "My disciple is outstanding; countless women are attracted to him."
But he's a married man, you two can just be friends!
"Having more friends means having more options, please don't misunderstand."
"Haha, no, we should thank your apprentice for saving our lives!" the rescued people said gratefully.
Zheng Ya was speechless; there was something wrong with what his master's wife said!
