Chapter 299 The Poisonous Domain, the First of the Nine Domains

Seeing Ling Yi's pained expression, Tian Yan took out a medicinal wood with pain-relieving effects and had Ling Yi bite it down. This way, he could relieve the pain without hurting himself.

Ling Yi bit down on the medicinal wood, and the pain in her body did lessen somewhat, but only slightly...

It hurts too much.

It's as if a pair of hands were tearing flesh apart, stretching tendons to their limit, and then cutting with a dull knife.

Ling Yi endured the pain with full consciousness, and after an unknown amount of time, the physical pain finally subsided somewhat.

【01, It's over.】 Tianyan's voice rang out, but Ling Yi didn't even have the strength to respond.

Tianyan knew that Lingyi was unable to move or have the strength to reply, so he didn't say anything more. He took Lingyi out of the bathtub, dried her off, and gently placed her on the soft grass before disappearing.

...

Inside the room, Ye Qingshuang waited for a quarter of an hour, but Ling Yi did not come out from behind the screen. Considering that she and Ling Yi were both women, it wouldn't hurt to take a look, so she went behind the screen, and then... there was no one there!

wrong!

Not only are the people gone, but even the bathtub is gone!

Ye Qingshuang was shocked, but not flustered, after all, Ling Yiyi had already told her.

I just don't know when Ling Yi will come back?

Ye Qingshuang waited all night, but Ling Yi didn't return, so she had no choice but to continue waiting.

Ling Yi hadn't returned since morning until noon. Then someone knocked on the door, and Ye Qingshuang had no choice but to go and open it.

As soon as the door opened, Ye Qingshuang saw Lin Chengtian standing outside with food in his hands: "What are you doing?"

Lin Chengtian said, "You didn't eat anything this morning, and you won't eat anything for lunch either?"

"I'm not eating," Ye Qingshuang said. "I'm not hungry. Ling Yi is cultivating, and she can't be separated from me at crucial moments. I need to go back and continue to watch over her." After saying that, Ye Qingshuang prepared to close the door.

Lin Chengtian said, "Don't lie to me, I know Ling Yi isn't here."

what?

Ye Qingshuang was a little stumped. How did he know?

She didn't say anything!

Seeing what Ye Qingshuang was thinking, Lin Chengtian said, "You've set up a barrier, why do you need to personally oversee it?"

"You figured that out just from that?" Ye Qingshuang was skeptical.

"Hmm." Of course, there's more, but there's no need to dwell on it. Lin Chengtian pushed the wooden plate forward: "Eat something, wait for Ling Yi..."

Before Lin Chengtian could finish speaking, a commotion came from inside the house. Upon hearing the sound, Ye Qingshuang smiled and immediately turned back into the house.

Behind the screen, Ling Yi took out the bathtub he had brought into the space and put it away. Then he went out and saw Ye Qingshuang running over.

Ye Qingshuang looked at Ling Yi with a smile: "Finished with work?"

"Hmm." Ling nodded, then walked to the side and sat down. Lin Chengtian, who was outside the door, heard Ling's voice and came in, placing the food on the wooden tray on the table: "Eat some first, I'll go order another one." After saying that, he left the room without asking any questions.

Ye Qingshuang quickly came over, sat down opposite Ling Yi, and pushed the food towards Ling Yi: "Are you hungry? Have some."

Ling Yi's gaze fell on the dishes on the table, and she paused for a moment.

She wasn't picky about food. People living in the apocalypse didn't have the right to be picky. Moreover, when she was an experimental subject, Ling Yi ate mostly nutrient solutions. So after coming here, as long as it was edible, Ling Yi would eat it, without any preference.

But she and Ye Qingshuang had spent so much time together, traveling from Yunzhou to Mengzhou, that even without consciously remembering, she knew what Ye Qingshuang preferred to eat.

These are all dishes that Ye Qingshuang loves to eat.

Ling Yi withdrew her gaze, took out a Spirit Fruit from her spatial storage, and took a bite: "You eat first, I need to rest."

"Alright." Seeing that Ling Yi really didn't intend to eat, Ye Qing Shuang didn't say anything more and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

While eating the Spirit-Gathering Fruit, Ling Yi contacted Tian Yan: "Now that my physical strength has been unsealed, shouldn't I unseal my purification power?"

Tianyan Dao: [Yes.]

"Then untie it." After saying that, Ling Yi asked, "Do we need to avoid this?"

【No need.】Tianyan replied: 【The power of purification has been unsealed.】

“Yunzhou is about devouring, Qizhou is about time, and Mengzhou is about purification,” Ling Yi said slowly. “Judging from the situation, complete items grant weaker skills, while incomplete items grant better skills.”

Tianyan: [Not necessarily.]

Hearing this answer, Ling Yi smiled and asked, "Where's the next place?"

Heavenly Evolution Dao: [The Poison Domain, one of the Nine Domains.]

"Poison Domain?" Ling Yi raised an eyebrow. "It sounds very dangerous. Such a dangerous domain is close to the Three Continents. It seems that the other domains are even more troublesome."

[Hmm.] Tian Yan said, [The Poison Domain is indeed dangerous, but it is still inhabited by humans.]

The people of the Poison Domain are dangerous, but they are still human. They don't treat humans like ants like the alien races do. Compared to other races living in other domains, the Poison Domain is considered better.

"Understood," Ling Yi replied, then severed the connection with Tian Yan.

I've already contacted Tianyan; it's time to go check on the other one.

Just as Ling Yi was getting up to leave, there was another knock on the door.

After Ling Yi returned, Ye Qingshuang removed the barrier and didn't completely close the door. Hearing the knock, she said directly, "Come in."

The door opened, and Bai Qingjue walked in with two people with poor eyesight and a small animal.

When the little golden tiger saw Ling Yi, it flew over in a flash and landed in Ling Yi's arms, nuzzling him affectionately.

Ling Yi patted its head, then looked at Ji Yanzhi. When Ji Yanzhi was looking for Ling Yi, it was as if he had a precise positioning device installed, and he never got the direction wrong.

When Ling Yi saw him coming over, she thought of Tian Yan, with whom she had just lost contact, and smiled.

Bai Qingjue glanced at Ji Yanzhi, then at Ling Yi, and had no desire to speak.

Not long after they sat down, Lin Chengtian brought more food. After Ling Yi finished eating, the group sat together to discuss what to do next.

After Mengzhou comes the Poison Domain. Only by passing through the Poison Domain can one reach other states, and the Poison Domain is far more dangerous than places like Qizhou and Mengzhou.

Bai Qingjue said, "The Poisonous Domain lives up to its name; it's full of poison. If you're going to go there, you have to be extra careful."

Baijiu said, "If that's the case, we need to prepare more antidote pills."

“The cultivators in the Poison Domain are more powerful than those in Mengzhou. The antidote pills made by the people of Mengzhou may not be able to cure the poison in the Poison Domain, so there’s no need to prepare here,” Bai Qingjue said. “It’s not too late to prepare when we get to the Poison Domain.”

Since Bai Qingjue had said that, Bai Jiu stopped worrying about it and asked Ling Yi, "When are we going to the Poison Domain?"

Ling stood up: "Now."

"Huh?" Baijiu was a little surprised. So fast?

According to the previous process, he should have left after the Time-Suppressing Artifact was retrieved. The reason he didn't leave immediately was to unseal his physical strength. Now that everything that needed to be unsealed has been unsealed, there's no need to stay.

The group left the inn and headed out of the city.

Ji Yanzhi walked beside Ling Yi and said softly, "Ling Yi, we can teleport there directly."

Ling glanced at him: "Send it over, and then watch you vomit blood?"

Ji Yanzhi lowered his voice: "Not this time."

Ling Yi: "I'm not in a hurry."

In short, a complete rejection.

Seeing that Ling Yi really didn't need it, Ji Yanzhi didn't bring it up again.

After leaving the city, the group rode the little golden tiger away from the main city and headed towards the Poison Domain.

...

Seven days later, the group arrived at the border between Mengzhou and Duyu.

Behind me are majestic mountains, and in front of me stretches an endless forest.

Ling Yi told the little golden tiger to stop, then got off its back: "You rest here, I'll go inside and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang caught up with him, saying, "Ling Yi, I'll go with you."

Ling glanced at her, about to refuse, when she heard Ye Qingshuang say, "I'm familiar with these things."

Thinking of Ye Qingshuang's identity, Ling nodded: "Mm."

The two went into the forest, while the others stayed behind to rest.

Upon entering the forest, the heat from the bright sunshine subsided considerably, and the two of them walked into the forest one after the other.

At first, the forest was quite bright, but as we went deeper, the trees became more numerous and their canopies blocked out the sun. Sunlight could only shine through the gaps, and the light was not as abundant as it was in the outer areas.

Fortunately, although the light was dim, it was still clear enough. In addition, they had not encountered any poisonous creatures or plants along the way. Since it was getting far ahead, the two stopped and decided to go back.

However, just as the two were about to leave, a delicate fragrance wafted in on the wind, lingering around their noses for a long time.

Ling Yi, who was about to leave, turned around and looked into the depths of the forest. Ye Qingshuang followed her gaze and asked, "Shall we go take a look?"

Ling Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and just when Ye Qingshuang thought Ling Yi would go and take a look, she heard him say, "No."

"Huh?" Ye Qingshuang was somewhat surprised.

Ling Yi didn't explain further and turned to leave.

Seeing Ling Yi leave, Ye Qingshuang followed. As they left, they were unaware that there was a peculiar tree ahead of them, laden with bright red fruit that looked extremely tempting. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover tiny holes in the fruit, from which a hissing sound could be heard…

Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang came out of the forest and briefly explained the situation. After everyone had rested enough, they let the little golden tiger continue on its way.

Bai Jiu was somewhat surprised by Ling Yi's decision: "You went to scout the situation in the forest. I thought you would travel through the forest."

Ling Yi remained silent upon hearing this.

She did initially intend to walk through the forest, since there were plenty of medicinal herbs in such a place. However, the little creatures behind the fragrant herbs were quite troublesome. Ling Yi wasn't afraid, but those little creatures posed a threat to others, so she gave up.

As the little golden tiger continued onward, a thick fog rolled in as dusk approached. The weather was unsuitable for flying, so Ling Yi and the others dismounted from the little golden tiger's back and took the shrunken tiger to a spot in the forest, intending to rest for the night and continue their journey once the fog cleared.

The fog was so thick that it was easy to get lost if you weren't careful. Ling Yi landed with the little golden tiger in her arms and turned to look at the others: "You guys..."

When I turned around, there was no one behind me.

Ling Yi's expression turned cold, and even the little golden tiger widened its golden eyes. They were all together just now, how come they disappeared when they turned around?

"Hmph," the little golden tiger whimpered.

Ling Yi patted its head, then carefully sensed its surroundings.

During the time it took for Xiao Jinhu to get off and for them to disappear, there were no fluctuations in power, meaning they couldn't have been kidnapped. As for the beast, she didn't detect any spiritual energy fluctuations. If it wasn't done by humans or beasts, then it could only be the fog. But fog in the forest is normal, and there's nothing else besides fog.

Ling Yi frowned, intending to contact Tian Yan to see if he could learn about Ji Yanzhi's situation from him, but he couldn't get through.

Unable to contact Tianyan, Ling Yi had no intention of sitting idly by and walked forward.

Whether the fog is the problem or something else, it will eventually come to light.

the other side.

After dismounting from the little golden tiger's back, the group followed Ling Yi into the forest. However, as soon as they landed, they looked ahead and found that Ling Yi had disappeared.

At first, no one noticed, but when Ji Yanzhi called out to Ling Yi and Ling Yi did not respond, everyone realized something was wrong.

"Ling Yi?" Ye Qingshuang called out, but Ling Yi did not respond. In such thick fog, even Ling Yi could not have left them directly. The lack of response could only mean that he was no longer there.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingshuang's gaze turned cold as she looked around: "Did you see a girl in a blue dress just now?"

"I see her! I see her! She's gone into the thick fog!"

"She disappeared as soon as she entered the thick fog."

"It disappeared after entering the thick fog, and you can't see it anymore."

A cheerful and lively childish voice rang out continuously; it was the spirit of the forest plants and trees. Ye Qingshuang was using the power of the spirit race here.

After asking the questions, Ye Qingshuang told the others what had happened.

“They are from the Fog City.” After hearing Ye Qingshuang’s words, Ji Yanzhi said, “Changrong, you take them and continue on your way. I’ll go find Ling Yi.”

"Wait a minute," Ye Qingshuang called out, and asked, "Fog City, is that the city that only appears in the thick fog and can move with it?"

"Hmm." Ji Yanzhi nodded.

Ye Qingshuang frowned: "The Fog City rarely interacts with other races, so why would they specifically come here to abduct Ling Yi?"

“That’s a question for the people of Wudu.” Ji Yanzhi finished speaking and prepared to leave, but Bai Qingjue reached out and stopped him: “This matter cannot be rushed, let’s discuss it first.”

Ji Yanzhi remained silent, while Bai Qingjue asked, "Brother, who do you think will come to abduct Ling Yi?"

Ling Yi left Yunzhou and killed a descendant of the gods. If the descendant of the gods knew Ling Yi's identity, he could be considered part of the group. However, since he did not know, there was only one person who would abduct Ling Yi under these circumstances.

Hossin.

Bai Qingjue looked at Ji Yanzhi: "If you get involved, it will draw the attention of Huo Xin and the people behind Huo Xin."

Ji Yanzhi said calmly, "They should have noticed that during the incident with the Sea God Kingdom."

“Even if they noticed you that time, they didn’t find out about you so quickly.” Bai Qingjue looked at Ji Yanzhi: “But this time, under what identity do you plan to enter Wudu?”

“If you enter Fog City using your true identity, you will be completely targeted by them.” Bai Qingjue looked at Ji Yanzhi: “Are you sure you want to do this?”

Bai Qingjue said all this to make Ji Yanzhi think clearly, that there was no need to be targeted because of Ling Yi, but...

Ji Yanzhi said, "Changrong, in my eyes, there is no one more important than her."

Bai Qingjue was startled upon hearing this and wanted to ask Ji Yanzhi why, disregarding the presence of others.

Why is Ling Yi so important?

Before he could speak, and before Ji Yanzhi could leave, Lin Chengtian said, "She said she could take you into the Fog City."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanzhi and Ye Qingshuang immediately looked at Lin Chengtian, and even Bai Qingjue forgot to think about what Ji Yanzhi had said: "Her?"
