Chapter 706: Poisonous Indeed!

As Wei Yuan approached, Feng Tingyu stopped her movements and beckoned to him. Her injured leg, which had been bare, was extended toward him.

There was only a wound the size of a fingertip on her leg, but from it, silver blood continuously flowed.

From the silver blood, Wei Yuan caught a whiff of immortal power. His expression changed drastically; he lunged forward and pressed his hand against the base of her thigh, attempting to stop the blood from circulating back.

However, when Wei Yuan pressed down, he failed to stop the blood vessel; instead, the muscles in her leg pushed his hand away. This press of his was enough to flatten steel, yet he could not suppress the blood vessel in Feng Tingyu's leg.

Wei Yuan let out a shout, his palm instantly doubling in size. He gripped Feng Tingyu's thigh firmly, using almost all his strength, and only then did he manage to compress the vessel and stop the blood flow.

Wei Yuan extended a finger to touch a drop of the silver blood flowing from the wound and tasted it with the tip of his tongue. His mind reeled, and he realized the blood was indeed poisonous.

After doing this, Wei Yuan suddenly thought: didn't I just poison myself too?

A poison capable of felling a genius disciple of the Bright King Hall—why did he have the confidence that he would be fine after tasting it?

Wei Yuan immediately realized that his alertness had dropped inexplicably, and he was unconsciously doing some very strange things.

It seemed he had been struck; he didn't know how serious it was... Wei Yuan closed his eyes slightly, summarized his past behavioral patterns within the "Human World Fireworks," set up a series of behavioral rules, and forced himself to act according to these rules if his choices deviated from them.

Once this step was completed, he began to automatically audit his own behavior. Wei Yuan immediately discovered the impropriety: the Northern Shanmen was not far away, and there were numerous True Persons and even an Immortal present—why did he have to save people here by his own strength?

Realizing this, Wei Yuan prepared to pick up Feng Tingyu, but before he could move, Feng Tingyu leaned against him, her hands wandering over his body, poking and pinching here and there.

"Wait a moment, this is not the time for this! Not there... that's not allowed..." Wei Yuan said only half a sentence before remembering that Feng Tingyu had already passed out and couldn't hear a word he said.

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth, picked up Feng Tingyu, and soared into the sky, rushing toward the Northern Shanmen at full speed. At the same time, he left the Long Ying behind to inform the others that Feng Tingyu was severely injured and to confirm everyone's safety.

With immortal power lingering, he dared not leave ordinary Dragon Guards behind, fearing they too would be affected by the immortal power, so he left the Long Ying.

Flying at full speed, Wei Yuan crashed into the Northern Shanmen in a moment, arriving before the hall of True Person Master Dan Ming of the Creation Temple. At that moment, Master Dan Ming Zi and Loose Practitioner Master Zhi Dan were discussing an ancient immortal pill formula. Seeing Wei Yuan enter the hall, the two exchanged a glance and instantly understood everything.

Master Dan Ming Zi's face darkened; he reached out and grabbed into the air, actually pulling out a transparent worm!

Master Dan Ming Zi's face was as heavy as water. A flame the size of a bean ignited in his palm; though small, it caused the temperature in the hall to rise sharply. The transparent worm was refined into fly ash in an instant.

Master Dan Ming Zi let out a cold hum and said, "To dare set up a blindfold right under my nose—is the karma of my Creation Temple so easily entangled?"

Loose Practitioner Master Zhi Dan rubbed his face, as if wiping away something, and his eyes turned clear again. "To let this old man fall into a trap without knowing it, to the point of forgetting to check on the safety of the disciples at the front line—it seems it was Left Sage King who acted personally."

Master Dan Ming Zi closed his eyes slightly and calculated with his fingers. After a moment, he said, "It is indeed a critical moment; it is worth bringing out the immortal treasure left by the Ancestor."

Wei Yuan coughed lightly, unable to help reminding them, "Two Ancestors, please, save Feng Tingyu first."

Master Dan Ming True Person laughed and said, "Do you really think we two old fellows would forget such an important matter? If this little girl were to have an accident, that brainless brute, the Bright King Hall Master, would come to tear down my Creation Temple!"

Loose Practitioner Master Zhi Dan beckoned to Wei Yuan. "Bring her over and let me see."

Wei Yuan carried Feng Tingyu to Loose Practitioner Master Zhi Dan. The latter examined the silver water flowing from the wound carefully and said, "It is indeed Immortal Poison Transforming into Silver Spring. The principle of this poison is not difficult; it is the antidote that is hard to find. I have some in my collection that happens to be the right remedy."

Loose Practitioner Master Zhi Dan took out a sprig of osmanthus and flicked three drops of dew from the petals—one fell on Feng Tingyu's brow, one on the wound, and one into her mouth.

A moment later, the blood flowing from the wound turned from silver to red. Feng Tingyu woke up leisurely, and upon seeing Wei Yuan, she glared at him. "Where is that wild woman of yours? Where did she go?"

Wei Yuan thought quickly. To prevent Feng Tingyu from spouting nonsense, he coughed and said, "The two True Persons just saved you; hurry up and thank them!"

Only then did Feng Tingyu notice the two True Persons, especially the Creation Temple Master. Knowing this was a figure who might ascend to immortality at any time, she dared not be disrespectful and bowed respectfully.

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad he had blocked the woman's mouth. He naturally had no "wild woman," but he feared Feng Tingyu would speak without thinking and say something inappropriate, like how her body "liked" him or something similar.

However, to Wei Yuan's surprise, True Person Master Dan Ming said, "You still have some lingering effects from this injury. To heal it completely, we need more information. Tell us what you saw just now, try not to leave anything out. Yes, that 'wild woman' thing..."

Looking at the glowing eyes of True Person Master Dan Ming, Wei Yuan let out a wail in his heart.

Feng Tingyu's memory stopped shortly after the battle began, and she remembered nothing else. She only vaguely saw a silver-haired woman entangled with Wei Yuan, pulling and tugging at each other, their actions and expressions quite indecent, bordering on public indecency in broad daylight.

Feng Tingyu was furious on the spot and prepared to go over to fight.

She didn't expect that a silver snake would suddenly shoot out from the woman's hair and pierce her thigh. The Bright King Hall always favored fighting while injured—if she lost one leg, she still had three others—so Feng Tingyu was not afraid and charged forward to fight, but Wei Yuan kept pulling at her, refusing to let her move.

That was the whole story, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw the two True Persons.

The two True Persons exchanged glances, their expressions unusually solemn.

Loose Practitioner Master Zhi Dan said slowly, "What you just said is partly true and partly illusory. The real events have actually been erased by immortal magic. That person thought it was foolproof, but he didn't expect that your body and limbs could perceive and remember things on their own, which is why this dream occurred."

Master Dan Ming Zi's face was as heavy as water. "Even if it is an Immortal, to dare act so wildly at the gate of my Primordial Palace, they must be made to pay the price! Feng Tingyu, go back and rest well. Stay within the mountain gate for these few days and don't go anywhere. You have been poisoned by immortal venom; if you leave the range of the mountain gate, it is very likely someone will track the venom and cast a curse on you. You may only leave the mountain gate after the poison is completely cleared."

At this moment, the voice of Immortal Yanshi echoed in the hall: "I have summoned the Bright King Hall Master to arrive in a few days. Wei Yuan, come here for a moment."
