Chapter 7: The Departure of the Poisonous Crystal of Fire!

  As she was lost in thought, a soft voice came from ahead of her.

  "It's done, the poisonous ivy has been completely removed, now you can pick it yourself too, goodbye!"

  After the young man's voice faded away, his figure disappeared into thin air. This sudden change left Kong Dongling stunned. He had been thinking of a long-term cooperation, but didn't expect the young man to leave after just one sentence.

  However, after sweeping her eyes forward, she found that the poisonous vines in front of her had all withered, while the black lotus was still growing vigorously.

  "What a mysterious guy!" Kong Dongling sighed.

  At this time, dozens of young men came out from behind the forest!

  "Kong Shi Mei, have you found Hei Mu Lian?"

  The young man in the lead was wearing a magnificent brocade robe and was none other than Wu Yuan, the second young master of the Wu family.

  "An Er Xiao Ye, you're really late! Hei Mu Lian was indeed found, but it's thanks to someone else's good fortune!" Jing Yi Yu said with a flash of her beautiful eyes, followed by a calm tone.

  When he heard this, Wu Yuan was somewhat puzzled. Jing Yiyu didn't hide it either and slowly told him what had happened before. Of course, she knew that Wu Yuan liked Kong Dongling a bit, so when she told the story, she added some flavor to it.

  "Leaf rustling?"

  Wu Yuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then he said lightly: "Although I don't know how that guy did it, but a little cat and dog can't stir up any big waves. As the assessment is getting closer, let Chen Guo serve him well at that time, and finally eliminate him!"

  As he spoke, Wu Yuan walked slowly towards Kong Dongling. To him, Ye Ming was just a small role, and with just a flick of his finger, he could kill him!

  Ye Ming rushed through the forest and returned to the mountain cave once again.

  "Those two girls should be inner courtyard disciples, they both feel very strong. The white-clothed girl seems nice, but the purple-clothed girl looks like a spoiled young lady, I'm afraid she'll cause a lot of trouble in the future!"

  Ye Ming sat down with his legs crossed, pouted slightly, but didn't mind the purple-clothed girl at all. He was just worried about getting into trouble afterwards!

  Shaking his head, Ye Ming recalled the harvest and suddenly smiled: "Although the Spirit Gathering Grass can help me reach the fourth realm of spiritual energy, it will take some time. I don't know how much effect the Fire Poison Crystal has, after all, I've reached first-rate!"

  As he spoke, he opened the picture scroll. At this moment, the picture scroll was like a painting, with three lines of small characters on the edge, except for the starry sky map.

  They are Lingcao, Lihuoduteng and Heimilian!

  This is the only time Tu Lu has ever come into contact with a Ling Plant!

  "What a wonderful picture!"

  Ye Ming licked his lips, although many spiritual plants on the mainland were not suitable for cultivation, but like today, exchanging spiritual plants for goods was of no small help to his own cultivation.

  And excavate the potential role of Lingzhi, like a poisonous vine that drives out the poisonous vine, who dares to pick its flowers?

  Ye Ming's heart called out, and a flash of light appeared on the illustration. It immediately changed back to the page about the Lihuo Duoteng. The top part recorded a large amount of text.

  It is said that the horror of the Fire Poison Ivy comes from the Fire Poison Crystals on its flower buds. If they come into contact with a person, they will use the person's spiritual energy to grow and mature. When they are fully grown, countless vines will burst out of the person's body, after which the person will die in agony and pain.

  Ye Ming's body trembled slightly, that scene was indeed terrifying, no wonder the Fire Poison Crystal made the cultivators apprehensive.

  Look down again...

  The Fire Poison Crystal belongs to fire, using the juice of Aggregating Spirit Grass to soak those Fire Poison Crystals. After three days, the powdered poison crystal will become a paste. At that time, apply it all over the body, and then you can strengthen the tendons and meridians!

  "Strong pulse? Should be suitable for martial arts practitioners."

  Ye Ming smiled slightly, but thinking of the cultivation method after the fifth boundary of spiritual energy, he shook his head: "The 'Liemengong' I usually cultivate only reaches the fifth boundary of spiritual energy, and I don't know how to proceed further!"

  But he didn't think much about it and just got through the assessment. Whatever happens after reaching the fifth spiritual boundary can be said later.

  When the lower leaves are in accordance with the method of Tu Lu, using Jing Ling Cao to soak the Li Huo Du Jing, the Li Huo Du Jing is in a powdery state, and its color is pink. When the wind blows, it floats up and easily stains the body.

  Fortunately, Ye Ming was careful and cautious, and nothing major happened during the process!

  Three days later!

  Several palm-sized leaves of the spirit-gathering grass had a pinkish-red, paste-like substance on them. These paste-like substances were like thin mud, but they were entirely pink in color. At first glance, the colors were quite attractive.

  "Is this the essence of the Fire Poison Vine? Without a graphic record introduction, I'm afraid not many people know its effects! However, the graphic record states that for the first practice, it's best to be in water..."

  Ye Ming muttered to himself, this monk's dreaded fire poison had now become a cultivation material!

  The vast misty forest seemed endless, and it wasn't hard to find a place with water. After exhausting an entire morning, Ye Ming finally found a small river, the water was calm and looked quite deep.

  Standing by the river, Ye Ming's right hand patted, took out a pink paste-like thing, hesitated for a moment, and lightly dipped his index finger into the paste. A warm feeling came shortly after.

  "It seems there's no problem!"

  Ye Ming carefully sensed, then no longer hesitated, took off his clothes, and used his hands to evenly spread the paste all over his body. After doing this, he was filled with anticipation in his heart.

  However, at this moment, a strange feeling rose up, causing Ye Ming's face to change color.

  Ouch!

  Indescribable agony!

  At first it was warm all over, but now it's like a burning fire.

  "What's going on? Did something go wrong?"

  Ye Ming's face was also twisted in pain: "Impossible, could it be that cultivating with the Li Huo poison crystal is so painful? Why didn't this ancient record mention..."

  Bang!

  Under intense pain, Ye Ming hastily rushed into the water.

  In an instant, the scorching feeling slightly weakened, and then Ye Ming saw that his whole body was constantly emitting bubbles, as if even the surrounding water had been boiled.

  But just a moment later, the pain surged up again!

  This kind of pain is the first time Ye Ming has experienced from childhood to adulthood, but he has been calm and composed since childhood, knowing that if he wants to surpass others and reach his goals, he must go through inhuman hardships!

  Eating bitterness as sweetness, then one can be a superior person!

  In the water, Ye Ming's face turned serious, and memories rose up in his mind one by one. The family that looked down on him, those mocking faces, and that grandfather who had been waiting anxiously...

  "Ming Er, because your father did what he shouldn't have done, his spirit tablet was expelled and will never be allowed to enter the ancestral hall again. When you grow up, you must definitely send his spirit tablet back to the ancestral hall, where leaves return to their roots, this is the fate of the Ye family descendants!"

  "Remember, no matter what others say, but you must know that your father is a man of great integrity!"

  Boom!

  The sound of the leaves rustling in his brain burst forth, a memory from when he was twelve years old. At this moment, his eyes turned bright red, and he stood quietly at the bottom of the river, his thin body standing as steady as can be.

  "No way out? Then let me try your power, Flame Crystal!"

  Cluck cluck cluck!

  Bubbles constantly emerge from the river, and Ye Ming's skin has countless energies pouring in. That energy is like a fierce fire, violently surging into his meridians, and then frantically rushing back and forth.

  Ye Ming's entire body was as if his countless meridians had been torn apart, but what was strange was that although the energy was violent and destructive, it seemed to be like a nourishing spring rain, first impacting and destroying, then recovering.

  Destruction, repair... such is the cycle!

  Unconsciously, the old wound of Ye Ming's meridians, which had been blocked for years, slowly cleared up.

  After a while, the water also gradually calmed down, and with it, that severe pain also slowly disappeared. Ye Ming opened his eyes and swam up with his tired body.

  As soon as he crawled ashore, Ye Ming lay on the grassy ground, smiled slightly, and for the first time used the Fire Poison Crystal to cultivate. Although it was extremely painful, he also felt its effects.

  His entire body felt extremely comfortable, some of the blocked meridians became clearer, and in an instant, he clearly sensed the spiritual energy flowing through his meridians. This feeling made Ye Ming extremely joyful.

  But thinking of the intense pain brought by the Fire Poison Crystal, Ye Ming shuddered again.
