Chapter 2190 - 2191: The Den of Ten Thousand Demons! (Three Updates)

After Muu God Monarch gathered everyone in the Evil Hall, he hasn’t returned since.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed!

During these three days, apart from the daily visits by the Ghost Doctor to check the seal within Ling Feng, no one else has come to bother Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao.

The Evil People seem very busy every day. According to the Ghost Doctor, these people are deeply entrenched in killing intent; they must find things to suppress it, or they risk going berserk.

For example, Blood Demon Hand Kuangxue releases his strength into the fields every day, while Xiao Xiao’er goes out of the valley to kill three people daily; whether they deserve it depends primarily on his mood.

However, over the years, Xiao Xiao’er’s Heart of Slaughter has been somewhat cleansed. Sometimes if he doesn’t meet his quota, he’ll kill two Demons instead, and it’s no different.

"Your condition is indeed strange!"

In the pavilion outside the Bamboo House, the Ghost Doctor once again diagnoses Ling Feng and discovers that, although the seal within Ling Feng seems unbreakable, it appears to be loosening a bit day by day.

Logically, such a malicious curse as Soul Sealing shouldn’t gradually weaken over time.

"I do have some methods to weaken the seal,"

After a few days of interaction, Ling Feng and the Ghost Doctor have become quite familiar with each other, and Ling Feng feels less guarded around him.

Ling Feng opens his palm, and a group of pale purple flames rises gracefully — it’s the Swallowing Flame.

"Hmm?"

The Ghost Doctor’s eyelid twitches, "This flame seems unusual. Even my internal Primordial Divine Fire seems faintly drawn by your flame!"

"This is the Swallowing Flame!"

Ling Feng says solemnly, "The Swallowing Flame’s greatest feature is that it can devour everything, even having some devouring power over the Soul Sealing curse."

After pausing, Ling Feng continues, "However, the speed is quite slow. So, I’ve actually thought about refining a Forbidden-breaking Pill!"

"Forbidden-breaking Pill?"

The Ghost Doctor is initially stunned, then reveals a startled expression, "Indeed, with your current condition, using a Forbidden-breaking Pill might really work!"

Suddenly, the Ghost Doctor seems to recall something, staring at Ling Feng, "So that’s why you bought that Scorpion Fruit at the auction!"

"That’s right."

Ling Feng nods, "Scorpion Fruit is one of the main ingredients for refining a Forbidden-breaking Pill. Aside from Scorpion Fruit, there are a few other poisonous materials I haven’t collected. Otherwise, I’ve pretty much gathered enough quantities."

"Good lad, I didn’t expect you, young as you are, to have such insight and even know about the Forbidden-breaking Pill."

The Ghost Doctor immediately feels as if he’s found a treasure; indeed, a thousand pieces of gold are easy to find, but a confidant is hard to come by.

For a long time, the Ghost Doctor has felt lonely at the top, with almost no one to communicate with on the same level regarding Alchemy Dao.

And Ling Feng’s profound expertise in Alchemy Dao has provided him a partner for mutual exchange.

"I just know a bit, just know a bit," Ling Feng replies modestly with a smile.

The Ghost Doctor laughingly says, "Initially, I hadn’t found any particularly good solution for your seal, but now, the path is clear! We can use the Forbidden-breaking Pill. By the way, young one, which herbs are you lacking? I’ve got plenty of various poisonous materials here."

"Aside from the obtained Scorpion Fruit, I’m still missing Ju Ling Vine, Black Valley Grass... and five other poisonous materials."

Ling Feng answers truthfully.

"Black Valley Grass, Ju Ling Vine... Hmm, indeed they are quite rare poisons, but they can also be found inside the Demon Cave."

The Ghost Doctor says, laughing.

"Demon Cave?"

Ling Feng blinks; this is the second time he’s heard this name.

"Yes, the Demon Cave is actually an overrun Demon lair outside Evil Valley, known as one of the three major dangers in the West Sword Domain. Anyone who enters the Demon Cave rarely comes out alive."

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitches, "It’s so perilous? Yet, Senior Muu still threw Brother Chu in there... for training?"

"Surviving is rare, but that’s only true for outsiders."

Gui Yi smiles faintly, "Little Nanzi started cultivating in the Demon Cave at the age of ten, so it’s nothing to him."

"Ten years old..."

Ling Feng’s mouth twitches slightly; it’s no wonder Chu Chaonan is so afraid of Muu God Monarch. At ten years old, would an ordinary person not be scared just hearing about it?

"The Demon Cave is divided into nine floors; the outer six aren’t too dangerous, but poisonous materials like Black Valley Grass and Ju Ling Vine grow in the Eighth Layer and even the 9th Floor, which is quite troublesome!"

The Ghost Doctor frowns; he’s undoubtedly the weakest among the Ten Great Evil People, and if it came to close combat, even Ling Feng could defeat him.

Having him enter the Demon Cave to collect those toxic materials is clearly unrealistic.

"How about I go collect those poisons then?" Ling Feng takes a deep breath, looks at the Ghost Doctor, and says solemnly, "All I need to know, Senior, is how to enter the Demon Cave."

"You alone might not be enough!"

The Ghost Doctor thinks for a moment before saying, "Right, you could go to the valley entrance and find Blood Demon Hand. Just tell him that I asked you to seek his help in gathering herbs, and he’ll assist you."

Seeing the confusion in Ling Feng’s eyes, the Ghost Doctor explains with a smile, "Every evil person in our valley is covered in blood debts; killing today, getting killed tomorrow. When Blood Demon Hand was rescued by Boss Muu, he was on the brink of death, and I saved him."

"I see."

Ling Feng nods; no wonder most people in Evil Valley respect the Ghost Doctor, as there is such a connection.

"Alright, time is of the essence... cough, cough, cough..."

While speaking, the Ghost Doctor coughs violently, spitting out blood, which contains pitch-black ice crystals!

Clearly, this is the Cold Poison seeping into his marrow!

If this continues unchecked, the Ghost Doctor’s days are surely numbered.

"Senior..."

Ling Feng hurriedly supports the Ghost Doctor, trying to say something but is interrupted, "I know my days are numbered. Before I die, I hope to successfully refine that Forbidden-breaking Pill, and that will fulfill my wish!"

"I know you understand medical skills, but I know my condition best, so do not waste your thoughts!"

The Ghost Doctor’s pale face reveals a bitter smile, "In my youth, blinded by hatred, I committed too many sins. Now, I’m only repaying the debts of my past. If I can lift your seal before I die, then I’ve accumulated some virtue."

"Senior, they say to put down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha! What you’ve done in the past doesn’t matter; it’s the future that counts! A living Ghost Doctor can save countless lives, so why be so pessimistic?"

Ling Feng takes a deep breath and speaks solemnly, "If you help me refine the Forbidden-breaking Pill, then I’ll help treat your hidden ailments, even if it’s treating a dead horse as if it were alive; it’s worth a shot!"

The Ghost Doctor smiles bitterly, "I never thought, at my age, that your insight would surpass mine! Fine, fine... My illness is in your hands now!"
