The World-Destroying Spirit Fire noticed the village chief's expression and said to Ye Ling, "Kid, the village chief's expression is a bit off. Don't drink that tea yet!"
Ye Ling: "Don't worry, I haven't drunk it. I'm just analyzing the composition of the tea."
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "How is this tea? Is it poisonous?"
Ye Ling: "It's not poisonous... It's just that there are some medicinal ingredients I haven't seen before, and their properties are uncertain, but at least they are harmless to the body."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was stunned: "That's strange... Since this medicinal tea is not poisonous, why would the village chief have such a weird expression?"
Ye Ling said, "Perhaps it's like the medicinal cuisine we ate at noon. A single cup of tea might be fine, but when combined with something else, it can produce a peculiar effect."
"Since we don't know the village chief's intentions yet, let's hold back for now."
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "Then should we save the Medicine Spirit Beast?"
Ye Ling: "It won't die anytime soon. Let's wait a bit longer."
After conversing with the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, Ye Ling used his spiritual power to incinerate all the tea he had drunk. He then said to the village chief, "Village chief, I'm a bit tired, so I'll head back to rest."
At this moment, the village chief's face regained its kind smile, and he said to Ye Ling, "Young brother, you've worked hard. My legs are inconvenient, so I won't see you out."
"I know the way, there's no need to trouble you, village chief."
Ye Ling replied, got up, and left the village chief's house.
After Ye Ling left, the village chief looked at the Medicine Spirit Beast lying on the table and whispered, "How many years... I have finally waited for this opportunity."
"Immortal beast Medicine Spirit, perfect sacrifice, everything is complete, and tonight is the night of the lunar eclipse. This is destiny's favor... After years of dormancy, the time for revenge has finally come!"
"Dao Sect, you took my granddaughter's origin inheritance and crippled my cultivation... After tonight, I will get it all back!"
As the village chief spoke, he picked up the Immortal Spirit Beast on the table and walked into the cellar in the backyard.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling, back in his own room, suddenly felt his whole body become hot and started to feel dizzy.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire saw Ye Ling's current state and exclaimed, "Kid, what's going on with you? Are you poisoned?"
"It's not poison..."
Ye Ling said in a deep voice, sat down cross-legged, and began to regulate his breathing.
Seeing Ye Ling's condition, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire immediately probed his body and found that Ye Ling's meridians, which were almost healed, had broken again!
"What is going on?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was shocked to see Ye Ling severely injured again. "Kid, didn't you not drink that medicinal tea?"
Ye Ling said in a deep voice, "It's not the medicinal tea, it's that the medicinal effect of the noon medicinal cuisine has worn off."
"The medicinal effect has worn off?" The World-Destroying Spirit Fire was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Ye Ling explained, "Those medicinal cuisines didn't have the effect of repairing meridians. They were more like painkillers. They seemed to have healed my body's injuries, but in reality, it was just like drinking poison to quench thirst. Once the effect wears off, my injuries will reappear."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire felt Ye Ling's aura weakening and cursed, "That damned old man, he dared to deceive us? He fed us fake medicine?"
Ye Ling said, "This is just because we are not skilled enough and were too careless, which led us to fall into his trap. However, the medicinal cuisine itself is not harmful. I just need to meditate for a while. World-Destroying Spirit Fire, lend me your remaining power!"
"Alright!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire did not hesitate and transferred his power to Ye Ling, allowing Ye Ling to use his creation power to heal.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire also asked, "Kid, what should we do next? That old man definitely has ill intentions, and we don't need to be polite with him."
"Didn't that Medicine Spirit Beast say that there are a lot of medicinal materials hidden in this village? Kid, you should directly use your Devouring Domain to absorb the energy of those medicinal materials to recover your injuries!"
"Impossible!" Ye Ling immediately shook his head and refused. "I am severely injured now and can barely protect myself. We still don't know the full extent of this village's capabilities. If we act rashly, we might put ourselves in danger."
World-Destroying Spirit Fire anxiously asked, "Then what should we do? Just sit here and wait for death?"
Ye Ling: "Of course not. Our advantage now is that we didn't drink that cup of tea. As long as we stabilize our injuries, we won't have any worries. Then we can choose whether to fight or retreat freely. World-Destroying Spirit Fire, stop wailing here and quickly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to provide me with strength."
"Okay..."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire said no more and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with peace of mind, providing Ye Ling with strength to repair his damaged meridians.
Time slowly passed, and the sky darkened.
The entire village was unusually quiet.
Moonlight shone through the window onto Ye Ling, casting his shadow extremely long.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark, and darkness engulfed the moon in the sky.
The entire village began to emit golden light.
A golden pillar of light shot out from the village chief's house and pierced the sky.
The next moment, the souls of the villagers flew out from their homes and headed towards the village chief's house.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, who was stealthily absorbing spiritual energy, suddenly felt a disturbance in the surrounding spiritual energy and was startled awake. He then saw the red light outside the window.
"Kid, it seems like something big has happened!"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed when he saw the golden pillar of light piercing the sky.
At this moment, Ye Ling, who had just stabilized his injuries, also slowly opened his eyes and looked at the golden pillar of light outside the window. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "This aura, why does it feel a bit familiar?"
"Familiar?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire was stunned. Then, he also carefully observed the golden pillar of light and said, "It does seem a bit familiar... Where have we seen it before?"
Ye Ling stood up and looked at the golden pillar of light. "That's... the aura of Sword Fiend Qi!"
"Sword Fiend Qi?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire suddenly realized and looked at the golden light with disbelief, exclaiming, "How is this possible? Didn't you kill that supreme expert old man who was sniping us? How is he appearing here?"
Ye Ling said quickly, "It's not that guy here... Although this golden light contains the aura of Sword Fiend Qi, it has lost the Dao essence of a supreme expert. This state... is a bit like the state of the Shadow of the Upper Realm when it lost its origin inheritance."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire exclaimed, "Are you saying that the person in the light pillar now is a supreme expert who has lost his origin inheritance? And the old man who was sniping us earlier was trying to seize his origin inheritance?"
Ye Ling: "This is all speculation... Let's go take a look!"
With that, Ye Ling climbed out of the window and rushed towards the village chief's house.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire quickly asked, "Kid, how are your injuries now?"
Ye Ling: "My meridians have stabilized a lot. With your strength, I can barely kill a Chaos Sovereign. If I enter the state of selflessness, fighting with a Creation God should be no problem."
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "Your combat power is acceptable, then I'm relieved."
Boom!!!
Just then, another powerful energy spread out from the village chief's house, actually knocking Ye Ling out of the village!
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire saw Ye Ling being as fragile as paper and angrily said, "Kid, didn't you say you could fight with a Creation God? You were blown away by just this wave of energy?"
Ye Ling got up from the ground, looked at the even thicker pillar of light in the village, and said seriously to the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "I was using hyperbole just now... In reality, I have no combat power right now."
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "You're still in the mood to joke now!"
