Chapter 1467: Spirit Stone Platform

Meng Zhangxing also knew that after Ye Liuyun broke through the Tianzun Realm, his resources were probably insufficient, so he began to inquire about places that might have resources.

"Haha, you came to the right person! Rest assured, we're heading to the Southern Region this time, and we'll make a trip there. We also came to stock up on resources!" Meng Zhangxing said with a laugh.

"That's good!" Ye Liuyun heard that and felt relieved. With Meng Zhangxing as a guide, finding resources became much easier.

Guo Da's Flying Boat, faster than ordinary Flying Boats, reached the Curse Tribe settlement in just over twenty days.

Mu Ranxing was overjoyed, repeatedly praising Guo Da's Flying Boat. He even wanted to trade resources for a Flying Boat from Guo Da.

Guo Da agreed as well. However, he didn't give them his usual Flying Boat; instead, he promised to help them modify one.

The Curse Tribe settlement is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only a single exit.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense expanded, revealing that the Curse Tribe indeed numbered a great many, nearly seventy to eighty thousand.

However, he found that the Curse Tribe's cultivation levels were indeed low; there were few who had reached the Earth Sovereign level.

Their dwellings were mostly stone or wooden houses, all covered with sigils. Many tribe members had sigils tattooed all over their bodies and faces.

The Curse Tribe people were also very curious about these outsiders and were sizing them up.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun spotted a stone platform in a plaza‑like area at the center of the Curse Tribe. A person lay on the platform, with a Curse Tribe woman beside them.

The stone platform seemed to emit a particular attraction, drawing him toward it.

"What's going on? What's special about this stone platform?" Ye Liuyun wondered, confused.

But judging by its location, it must be important to them. Ye Liuyun didn't dare ask Mu Ranxing directly, fearing it would arouse his suspicion.

Although Mu Ranxing was not old, his high cultivation gave him a certain standing within the tribe, allowing him to take them straight to see the Clan Chief.

And the direction Mu Ranxing was heading was toward that stone platform.

"Could the one lying there be the Clan Chief?" Ye Liuyun thought.

When they reached the platform, the Curse Tribe woman on it leapt down from a distance and blocked Mu Ranxing, Ye Liuyun and the others.

They conversed in their native tongue, which Ye Liuyun had studied and could now fully understand. However, they spoke quickly, and Ye Liuyun, still unpracticed, lagged behind at times.

The Curse Tribe woman asked, "Mu Ranxing, why did you bring some outsiders back?"

"Aya, they can help extend the Clan Chief's life!" Mu Ranxing replied.

"Hmph, the Clan Chief was wounded by an outsider traitor, and you still bring outsiders back!" The Curse Tribe woman clearly harbored a strong bias against outsiders.

"They're not from our Southern Region, they just arrived here and I ran into them. Besides, not all outsiders are bad…" Mu Ranxing explained a lot to the woman named Aya; Ye Liuyun heard the latter part in fragments and couldn't keep up.

"You didn't find any medicinal herbs?" Aya asked.

Mu Ranxing shook his head gloomily.

The woman called Aya followed with another question: "Are you sure they can cure the Clan Chief?"

"We have to let them see the condition to know!" Mu Ranxing said, "Trying is better than letting the Clan Chief wait for death!"

Aya frowned, glanced at Ye Liuyun and the others, and asked Mu Ranxing, "Can they all treat illnesses?"

"Only that woman is an Alchemist!" Mu Ranxing replied honestly.

"Then let the others wait below, and only that woman go up!" Aya said in an unquestionable tone.

"Fine then!" Mu Ranxing had no choice but to explain again to Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Miss Luo Yun, please go up to treat the Clan Chief. The others must wait here for a while," Mu Ranxing said apologetically to them.

"Huh?" Luo Yun looked timidly toward Ye Liuyun and Meng Zhangxing.

"I also know some medicine; may I accompany her up? Otherwise she'll be a bit scared!" Ye Liuyun said to Mu Ranxing.

Before Mu Ranxing could speak to Aya, she answered outright, "Alright."

It seems she also understands the outside language. Though she has opinions about outsiders, she wasn't especially dismissive toward Ye Liuyun and the others.

Aya turned and leapt onto the stone platform again, and Mu Ranxing, Ye Liuyun, and Luo Yun followed, soaring onto the platform. Meng Zhangxing and Guo Da waited below.

"This is our Clan Chief, see for yourselves!" Aya said directly to Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun.

After speaking, she placed a hand on her waist, stood aside, and watched the two of them.

Their Clan Chief lay on the ground, eyes tightly shut, as if dead.

His life force was extremely weak, and his breathing was very slow.

Ye Liuyun examined more closely, activating his Golden Pupil, and scanned the Clan Chief's interior condition.

The Earth Sovereign five‑fold Yuan Dan showed no injuries, only a very weak life force.

Yet with such feeble life force, he was still alive, which puzzled Ye Liuyun. Under normal circumstances, a person should already be dead.

At this moment Luo Yun sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun; her observations matched his conclusion—that the life force was draining.

"Your Life Spring Water should be able to save him," Luo Yun confirmed.

"Hold on! I need to ask about the condition first," Ye Liuyun replied to Luo Yun.

He then asked Mu Ranxing, "Your Clan Chief's life force has weakened to the extreme; why is he still alive?"

"Why are you asking that?" Aya asked warily.

"To treat a patient, you must understand the situation clearly; otherwise the wrong medicine could harm him!" Ye Liuyun explained.

"Exactly!" Luo Yun chimed in, "We need to understand the condition before prescribing the right remedy!"

Aya thought for a moment, turned her head aside, and stopped staring at Ye Liuyun.

Mu Ranxing then explained to Ye Liuyun, "It's because of this Spirit Stone platform. It's especially significant to us Curse Tribe people. Staying on it can suppress the outbreak of curses and alleviate their symptoms!"

"Oh!" Ye Liuyun nodded. In his heart he smiled silently, "So this is the Spirit Stone platform! No wonder it attracted me. It must be because I've cultivated basic curses."

"Can you actually cure him or not?" Aya urged from beside.

Ye Liuyun gave a slight smile and replied, "Of course we can cure him! And the remedy will eliminate the disease! However…"

"But what?" Aya frowned, "You'd better not play tricks, or I guarantee you won't get out of the tribe!"

"Aya!" Mu Ranxing called her in their own language, "Let them finish speaking. He said he can cure, so it should be about right. You've offended them; do you actually have a way to treat the Clan Chief?"
