Ye Ling and Da Zhuang fell out of the golden cave and landed in an underground room filled with golden light.
"Where is this?"
Ye Ling endured the searing pain in his meridians and the tearing of his soul as he surveyed his surroundings, trying to ascertain his current location.
Unfortunately, it was a sealed space, and Ye Ling couldn't tell where he was.
"Kid, look at Da Zhuang quickly!"
At this moment, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed. Ye Ling looked at Da Zhuang and saw that Da Zhuang's body had already turned into specks of light, and his soul was also being absorbed by the surrounding golden light!
"Damn it!" Seeing Da Zhuang's soul being extracted, Ye Ling couldn't afford to save him. He quickly sat down, stabilizing his soul.
After entering this room, Ye Ling felt his soul being torn apart.
If he didn't resist, Da Zhuang's fate would be his own!
"Kid... it's bad, my soul is also being torn apart, I can't lend you much spiritual energy!" The World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed again, and the spiritual energy transmitted to Ye Ling instantly halved.
Without the support of spiritual energy, Ye Ling could no longer resist the tearing of the golden light, and his soul was about to be pulled out.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said with difficulty, "Kid... Town World Pearl, quickly take out your half of the Town World Pearl!"
Hearing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words, Ye Ling immediately reacted, remembering that he still had this treasure. He immediately summoned half of the Town World Pearl and injected his remaining spiritual energy into it.
The half Town World Pearl instantly generated a barrier, enveloping Ye Ling and isolating him from all the golden light.
"Cough cough..."
As his soul returned to his body, Ye Ling coughed up several mouthfuls of blood and gasped for air, "I'm saved..."
If it had been any later, he and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire would have died here!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire recovered and cursed, "That damned old man! We didn't offend him, did we? He actually wants to kill us. When we get out, I'll twist his head off and use it as a ball to kick!"
Ye Ling sat on the ground, recuperating, and said to the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "Stop complaining. Maintaining the Town World Pearl requires spiritual energy. My meridians are broken, and I can't absorb spiritual energy. I still have to rely on you for supply."
"Alright..."
After being told by Ye Ling, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire stopped complaining and began to focus on absorbing external spiritual energy to provide power for Ye Ling.
Fortunately, the golden light in this room was filled with vast spiritual energy. The World-Destroying Spirit Fire quickly replenished its consumed spiritual energy, and even had some left over.
Nourished by the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, Ye Ling regained his mobility. He held the Town World Pearl and stood up, carefully examining the underground room.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire asked Ye Ling, "Kid, where are we now?"
Ye Ling: "I'm afraid we're back in the village, underground."
"Back in the village?" The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was shocked. "How is that possible?"
Ye Ling said, "The village chief placed a teleportation mark on me. The golden light that just lit up was the teleportation mark. We were teleported here."
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "That's impossible! Kid, when you were unconscious, I was guarding you. If someone had placed a mark on you, I would have noticed!"
Ye Ling: "The problem might be with that cup of medicinal tea."
"That cup of tea?" The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was stunned. "How could that be? Kid, you didn't drink the tea!"
Ye Ling: "Indeed, I didn't drink the medicinal tea, but what if the village chief tampered with the cup?"
"Tampered with the cup..." The World-Destroying Spirit Fire opened its mouth, not knowing what to say.
Ye Ling continued, "Actually, that cup also had a special fragrance, but it was very faint and masked by the aroma of the tea."
"I didn't pay much attention at the time. Now it seems that the village chief smeared special powder on the teacup. The moment I picked up the cup, I must have been marked!"
"If my strength were at its peak, such a trick would be easy to see through. But the conditions weren't right, so I fell for it."
Hearing Ye Ling's explanation, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire immediately roared, "Damn it, that despicable guy! His methods are so insidious!"
Ye Ling said, "We fell for it because our skills were inferior, and we should admit it. But this time, it's also a blessing in disguise... That guy doesn't know we have the Town World Pearl, which can save our lives."
"Now we should have entered the core of the formation. This should be the place where the formation's spiritual energy is most concentrated and also the most fragile."
"World-Destroying Spirit Fire, I'll use the Devouring Domain to convert this golden light, and you'll transmit the pure energy to me. I'll use it to convert it into Creation Force."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire shouted, "Okay! Let's suck this place dry, leaving nothing for that despicable guy!"
"En."
Ye Ling said no more, and began to use the spiritual energy of the World-Destroying Spirit Fire to summon the Devouring Domain, while also using the Devouring Domain to absorb the surrounding golden light, converting it into pure energy for the World-Destroying Spirit Fire to absorb. The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, in turn, transmitted new spiritual energy to Ye Ling.
Under this continuous cycle, Ye Ling gradually repaired his meridians and foundation with Creation Force, and he could also begin to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
As Ye Ling's injuries gradually healed, the speed at which he used the Devouring Domain to seize spiritual energy increased. The golden light in the small room dimmed.
"Help! Help!"
As the golden light dimmed, Ye Ling faintly heard a cry for help and couldn't help but be stunned. He asked the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "World-Destroying Spirit Fire, did you hear anything?"
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "Now that you mention it, I think I heard something too, next door!"
"Let's go check it out!"
Ye Ling, holding the Town World Pearl, walked to where the sound came from and punched, directly smashing through the wall.
A strong medicinal fragrance wafted over.
Next to the room was a warm medicinal spring, filled with countless precious medicinal herbs. The potent medicinal energy had even permeated the air. Just taking a whiff, Ye Ling's injuries that had not yet been repaired by Creation Force quickly healed!
"Such potent medicinal energy!"
Ye Ling exclaimed, then looked in the direction of the cry for help. He saw the Medicine Spirit Beast struggling, locked at the bottom of the medicinal spring.
In the middle of the medicinal spring, the naked Xiao Zhu lay there, absorbing the medicinal energy from the spring.
"Medicine Spirit Beast?"
Ye Ling saw the immortal beast he had captured and beckoned. He directly pulled the Medicine Spirit Beast out of the medicinal spring.
The moment the Medicine Spirit Beast left the medicinal spring, two-thirds of the medicinal properties of the entire spring weakened, and the aura of Xiao Zhu in the center of the spring became unstable.
"Hoo! Finally saved... Thank you... Is it you?"
The Medicine Spirit Beast sighed in relief in Ye Ling's hand, then it clearly saw that Ye Ling had saved it. It was surprised and quickly flapped its wings, trying to escape from Ye Ling's grasp.
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I mean you no harm."
The Medicine Spirit Beast angrily said, "Who would believe you? You're the one who sent me to that devil!"
Ye Ling said, "Not next time. I was tricked too... Look, aren't I here to save you?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the Medicine Spirit Beast gradually calmed down, blinked its eyes at Ye Ling, and asked, "Really?"
"Really."
Ye Ling smiled slightly, "I'll save you, but first, you have to tell me what happened here and why the village chief captured you."
