Silent Eye Poison

After sailing out of the Yiyun Beiwang ferry, the Fengfu River channel widened again. The jade boat floated on it like a fallen leaf in a pond. In this river, Golden Core demonic beasts were also common. The treasure map hanging in the cabin even turned black for a time, showing the pressure of the Nascent Soul level. Even if the jade boat had Golden Core cultivators sitting in town, it was cautious, stopping and going. Whenever there were signs of demonic creatures fighting, it would avoid them from afar. Even so, if it weren't for those river demons who were greedy for flesh and blood trailing behind the boat, I’m afraid there would have been several times when it would have been involved in the battle of water demons.

"Is the river surface always this lively every time the boat travels here?"

On the deck, Ruan Ci couldn't help but ask the boatman curiously, "This time, a group of bodyguards was fed with the flesh and blood of Foundation Establishment cultivators. In ordinary times, it wouldn't be possible for so many guests to die, right?"

"Fairy is really joking."

This boatman was at the late stage of Qi Refining, and he looked old, and his conversation was also practiced. "In ordinary times, fighting between guests is strictly prohibited on the boat. If there is any violation, they will be thrown off the boat immediately. And a boat carries at most a hundred guests. For the demons in the river, the boat restrictions are tight. Even if all a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators are eaten, it cannot compensate for the consumption of breaking the restrictions. This business is not cost-effective. Therefore, in ordinary times, the two sides go their own way. It is really because there are too many guests in these two years, and they can't carry them. Now that this boat has more than a thousand cultivators, many rules have changed. If the fairy wants to go south to handle affairs later, just come to us to take the boat, and you can even enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river."

Now the boat is in the middle of the river, and looking at both sides is a vast river water. The scenery on the shore is already vague. Ruan Ci heard this and smiled. "Okay, if there is fate, I must come again to appreciate it—but is this river always so lively in ordinary times? We have only opened for half a day, and we have encountered at least three conflicts between Golden Core demonic beasts."

You know, demonic beast hunting is like cultivator fighting. The higher the cultivation, the more protracted it is. Golden Core demonic beasts usually divide their territories, and it is not easy for kings to see kings. If the disputes on this Fengfu River are like this, no matter how the cultivator ferry boat opens, it shouldn't be so frequent. The boatman heard this and smiled. "It’s not like this. Fairy doesn't know. The river was much calmer in previous years. It was only from ten years ago that the Yin Qi rising in the Fengfu River became heavier and heavier, and more and more demonic creatures were born at sunrise. At first, most of them were Qi Refining demonic creatures. Starting two or three years ago, Foundation Establishment demonic creatures were also born. Three months ago, Golden Core demonic creatures descended from the sky. These demonic creatures want to occupy territory in the Fengfu River, so naturally, they have to fight a bloody battle with the local snakes."

This local snake saying has a double meaning, and he couldn't help but laugh, feeling that he was very humorous, and showed off. "The villain once heard the Immortal Master say that the birth of Golden Core demonic creatures means that the Hengze Heaven is about to appear. It should be within these six months!"

Ruan Ci couldn't help but think of the Nine-Infant Snake Monster born in the Green Jade Hall, and nodded secretly, thinking, "No wonder this river is no longer turbulent, but it is still called the Fengfu River. I thought it was two rivers connected together, and it was mixed with a name over time. Now it seems that although the landforms are different, the geography is still connected. There is no such steaming Yin Qi elsewhere, so I think it must be related to that primordial phoenix."

She strolled around the deck a few more times, then flew back to the cabin to find Qu Tanyue to talk, and asked, "Have those people left?"

Qu Tanyue said, "I have already sent them away—look at you, so impatient, it would be better to kill them at that time."

Ruan Ci said, "Isn't this trouble caused by you?"

Qu Tanyue tapped her forehead as a thin punishment—although he only had Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was a Nascent Soul incarnation, and his knowledge and means were extraordinary. He didn't know what means he had arranged in his small building. Anyway, the boat traveled for two days, and there were successive injuries and even deaths of cultivators everywhere. The fluctuations of fighting were heard from time to time, and some cultivators even flew out of the boat to fight, and none of them came back. But this small building had never been provoked by anyone, as if it had been forgotten by everyone, just like the frozen building.

The small building where the Fanghe Hall disciples were located was frozen, and others could do nothing. But were they lucky to live in this one? As long as they had a little experience in the rivers and lakes, they wouldn't be so naive. The remaining few people got to know each other and inquired after the first day, wanting to find the mastermind behind the scenes, so that they could climb and make friends, and perhaps they could be each other’s support in the Hengze Heaven. Ruan Ci sensed them gathering, and was impatient to deal with them, so she hid. Actually, in the Green Jade Hall, she didn't want to pay attention to the small cultivators of the Jin Bo and Pinghai sects, but that was because she didn't like them, not because of other concerns. There were still many differences in this.

"Sigh, I finally know why experts are mostly arrogant." She sighed and sat down with her chin in her hands beside Qu Tanyue. "In Huang Shoushan, I think Senior Sister Chi also understood this truth. Actually, I am usually very gentle, but after making friends and having three points of face, and taking care of each other several times in danger, I have to take them with me because of face. Many times, it is actually a burden, and it is easier to attract resentment. But the grasp of the measure is not so simple."

She had seen Liu Jizi’s high-above appearance when she was a mortal. At that time, she was very disgusted in her heart, just thinking that if she had cultivation, she must go the other way and be gentle with others. Now she finally knows that sometimes experts refuse people thousands of miles away, not all because of bad character.

Qu Tanyue smiled. "Yes, you have grown up—sometimes, friends should be made with those who are matched, not because of snobbery. Listening to what you said about Huang Shoushan, actually, the death of Senior Sister Meng, you and Chi girl are also the reasons."

Ruan Ci nodded. "Correct. If we hadn't been together, or if Senior Sister Chi hadn't brought those junior brothers and sisters, Senior Sister Meng wouldn't have died. According to the ability of that group of people, they couldn't have gone to the depths at all. I’m afraid they would have been forced to go back not long after entering Huang Shoushan, and they could have saved their lives, and Senior Sister Meng wouldn't have died. Sigh, but who could have known the future at that time."

She was not very sad about Meng Lingyue’s death, but mentioning this, she couldn't help but think of the seed of love from True Person Su Yin, and she was a bit depressed for a while. Qu Tanyue touched her head and said, "You have done your best, and it is good to have a clear conscience. At most, don't do it next time."

"But I also feel that if I am cold to everyone because of this and only make friends with those who have thick cultivation and aptitude, I am not willing." The so-called hand does not hit the smiling person, Ruan Ci was unwilling to reject those cultivators who came to climb with hope, so she hid. Actually, in the Green Jade Hall, she didn't want to pay attention to the small cultivators of the Jin Bo and Pinghai sects, but that was because she didn't like them, not because of other concerns. There were still many differences in this.

Qu Tanyue shrugged. "Then just make friends as usual, and wait until they become a burden. Anyway, if they become greedy because of your promotion and get involved in danger, then they are the ones who die, not you."

His words were sloppy and full of Qu Tanyue’s characteristics, but they could make Ruan Ci happy. She couldn't help but burst into laughter. "That’s right, everyone cultivates their own fruit. Actually, I already understood the truth, but Senior Sister Meng died in front of me, and I would occasionally think about it."

Fighting on the boat from time to time is not suitable for cultivation. Ruan Ci just looked at the classics in the room and drew a few talismans—all of which had to be drawn carefully, as talismans are easily stained by fluctuating spiritual power, ruining the effect of the talisman. At this time, she was a bit bored, so she pestered Qu Tanyue and asked what means he had used on her, so that she could enter and exit freely without attracting the attention of other cultivators.

"It won't be effective if I say it." Qu Tanyue was pestered by her, but he was extremely doting on Ruan Ci. Even if he was annoyed like this, he still didn't blow her out, just changed the topic and asked what she saw on the deck. Ruan Ci said, "Nothing, just chatted with the boatman for a while."

She originally wanted to talk about her guess—since the Fengfu River is indeed related to the primordial phoenix, and the end of the Fengfu River is the Bao Yun Sea, and the entrance to the Hengze Heaven is above the Bao Yun Sea, so it seems that the Hengze Heaven may also be related to that primordial phoenix. But when the words reached her lips, she held back: the Xuanpo Gate must have disciples entering the Hengze Heaven. Although it may not be related to Qu Tanyue, the blood-line golden insects are so crazy about the primordial phoenix, who knows if they will covet anything in the Hengze Heaven, which will add twists and turns to her training.

Saying one more word about Biyuan Mountain, she had to burn incense and kneel down to worship True Person Wang after the incident, in order to trigger the master-disciple induction between the two and convey the message in her heart. Ruan Ci had to kowtow several times in vain, and she didn't want to do it again. Therefore, she forcibly held back and asked instead, "The demonic beasts living in the Fengfu River, don't they have tribes? Since they have cultivated to Golden Core, they should have opened their wisdom, right? Are they alone, killing each other every day?"

Qu Tanyue smiled. "Demonic beasts naturally have tribes. However, Golden Core demonic beasts, if their bloodline is noble, many of them still cannot transform into human form, and their beast nature still exists. Among the demonic snakes following our boat, one has the Nine Yin bloodline. Therefore, although the cultivation is the highest, it is still confused, like a beast."

"The water demons in the Fengfu River are mainly snake-like, divided into several types, each defining its own territory. After transforming into human form, most of them live in the Bao Yun Sea. Therefore, the Fengfu River is the most dangerous. After all, most of the transformed demonic creatures have opened their wisdom and can communicate with us cultivators, and can even trade. The demonic beasts left in the Fengfu River, who have cultivated to Golden Core but have not yet transformed into human form, have noble bloodlines and are extremely strong, but they have not yet opened their wisdom, which is the most tricky. When they reach the Bao Yun Sea, they are fine. It is the same as being a guest at someone else’s mountain gate. When the Hengze Heaven opens, who knows, there might be transformed demonic creatures entering with you."

Ruan Ci listened with great interest and couldn't help but ask, "Then the Nascent Soul aura we felt before..."

"I heard that there is a fish dragon here, its true blood is very pure, it is already Nascent Soul, but it has not yet transformed into human form. It wanders in the Fengfu River all day long. Transforming into human form is Cave Heaven." Qu Tanyue said, "This dragon was already Nascent Soul cultivation when I first came to the Fengfu River. Thousands of years have passed, and it has not yet transformed into human form. However, it is different from other demonic creatures. Over the years, it has long opened its wisdom and is the most cunning. Usually, I occasionally hear that it swallowed a whole boat of cultivators, but at this time, it will not easily provoke the jade boat, so there is no need to worry about it."

Ruan Ci thought about it slightly and understood. Since this dragon knows that there are many disciples from the Sheng sect on the jade boat at this time, it will naturally not provoke public anger. Otherwise, how can a Nascent Soul demonic creature compete with many Cave Heaven True Persons?

The two were talking when, in their induction, the frozen small building suddenly shook. The frozen Qi in the aura field gradually melted and flowed down. Ruan Ci and Qu Tanyue looked at each other and went out together. Only then did they see the solid ice of the small building melting drop by drop. I don't know if it was frozen for too long or what, the original colorful eaves and walls also looked dim and black, and many pigments melted with the solid ice.

The ice had just begun to melt and hadn't slid to the corridor, and there was no sound in the building. Many cultivators came out of the room to check, and at this time, they were also exchanging eyes, with a lot of sarcasm. After all, this person made such a big noise as soon as he got on the boat, but he didn't expect that it had only been two days, and it seemed that something had happened. Qu Tanyue’s face changed, and he turned his back and pulled Ruan Ci into the room. "Don't look, be careful of eye poison."

His face was not very good-looking, and he said, "I still overestimated the Fanghe Hall. That disciple was destined to die before he got on the boat. It is ridiculous that he was still unaware of it. Freezing the building to heal his wounds, but he didn't know that he had been made into a poison bait. Letting him escape was just to let him board the jade boat and poison all the passengers on this boat."

Ruan Ci was also shocked. "Could it be—a disciple of the Poison Sect?"

Qu Tanyue nodded. "Correct, it is a disciple of the Poison Sect."

He seemed a bit anxious. "I will teach you two spells first, one for avoiding poison, one for detoxifying—I don't know how deep that person’s poison skill is. If it is deep enough, I am afraid that my incarnation will have to be explained here. As for you—"

Wang Panpan also poked her head out of the spirit beast bag, looking at Ruan Ci anxiously—Qu Tanyue was just an incarnation, and it would be fine to discard it, but Ruan Ci was in her true body. If she was infected with eye poison, then... what should she do?

Could it be that she was going to be damaged here before she reached the Hengze Heaven?

The two were so worried, but Ruan Ci was still not panicked or worried. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, when a spirit suddenly flashed in her heart, and she secretly called out bad, "Almost leaked out again!"

Updated, sorry for the wait, there are always some chapters without too many conflicts when doing tasks in the dungeon, fortunately, the comments will be added soon.

Ah ah ah, I should also write drafts, I can't be lazy anymore, crying.

I haven't eaten lunch yet, and I didn't even order takeout...

Started watching "Conquering the Other World from the Game" yesterday. I feel that the development is not as fast as "Wolf Emperor", and I have to watch it patiently, but it is still quite good, but I feel it will be very long, so I have to raise it. I am quite interested in this kind of Western fantasy, do you have any other recommendations? (Mystery has been read)
