The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 158 Ye Qingyang's Test

Ye Qingyang and Xiao Ruyin entered the cave together, and to their surprise, they found that various rare medicinal plants were growing inside.

Moreover, this cave is not only large on the outside, but even larger inside. The surrounding rock walls are layered like spiritual fields, with horizontal rock walls in the middle. Upon closer inspection, you can see that they are covered with medicinal plants that love sunlight. The sunlight is just right, shining directly into this place through the huge sinkhole. There are a large number of medicinal plants here, densely covering the entire cave.

Some medicinal plants emitted a strange light, while others were shrouded in a mysterious aura. They seemed to be in a treasure trove of herbs, and the sight before them was astonishing.

Although Ye Qingyang was also shocked for a moment, he quickly came to his senses. He had been scanning his surroundings with the divine stone and finally fixed his gaze on a pool of spiritual spring water cascading down opposite him.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Qingyang thought to himself, "There's a spring near the top of this sinkhole, and the water flows down, just in time to irrigate the medicinal plants here. It seems like it was man-made, but this secret realm is so ancient that its origins are impossible to trace!"

What was Ye Qingyang thinking as he stared at the direction of the spring? Although Xiao Ruyin had been here several times, she was still shocked every time, especially this time, when there was no sign of it being picked—it was in its most pristine condition!

Especially since she's the kind of person who can't resist herbs, she was so engrossed that she didn't even notice the strangeness of the people around her!

Xiao Ruyin said happily, "The quantity and variety of herbs here are unparalleled among all the secret realms I've visited!"

After saying that, he ran towards the side of the spiritual spring!

The two people hiding behind the spiritual spring saw the man and woman enter. Judging from their low cultivation level, they were confident and planned to launch a sneak attack. However, the man seemed to know where they were and kept staring at the spiritual spring where they were hiding. They suddenly felt uneasy, but when they thought that the other party's cultivation level was lower than their own, they forcibly suppressed their unease and planned to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

Just as Xiao Ruyin took a step out, Ye Qingyang noticed something was wrong and immediately called out to stop her!

"careful!"

After saying that, he took a step forward, grabbed Xiao Ruyin's hand and pulled her back. A cold ice needle flew past Xiao Ruyin's eyes. Xiao Ruyin was so surprised that her eyes widened!

Xiao Ruyin was pulled behind Ye Qingyang, who then swung her towards the spirit spring and then flashed to the cave entrance with Xiao Ruyin.

The ice needle that was just used to pierce the medicinal plant next to it immediately melted, and a small circle of withered medicinal plants appeared around the plant that was pierced!

Ye Qingyang and Xiao Ruyin's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this scene!

Xiao Ruyin exclaimed in shock, "It's poisonous!"

Not only is it poisonous, but it is also extremely poisonous. I can't imagine what would happen if that needle were to be inserted directly into a person's body. It would dissolve immediately and seep into the body. Even if you tried to expel the poison with your internal energy, it would be too late!

At this moment, Xiao Ruyin felt a wave of fear. If Ye Qingyang hadn't pulled her back at the critical moment, she would probably have died here today. Without the ice needles, let alone inserting them directly into her body, even if they just scratched her skin, it would probably be difficult for her, a pharmacist, to handle it!

Imagine the frustration of seeing a vast field of medicinal herbs before you, only to find it too late to save yourself, and watching helplessly as hope slips away before you can even begin to fight back! The other party is truly vicious and cruel!

Xiao Ruyin didn't know whether she felt more joy and relief at surviving a disaster, or more anger at knowing about the other party's heinous acts!

At this moment, her face showed some resentment as she glared angrily at the two unfamiliar cultivators who had been forced out from behind the spiritual spring by Ye Qingyang!

Ye Qingyang's expression was solemn. He immediately took Xiao Ruyin to the cave entrance, but he still sensed that someone outside was blocking their retreat!

There were two cultivators in front of him, both at the late Core Formation stage. Although he didn't take them seriously, he couldn't be sure they had some hidden trump cards. Therefore, he still felt it best to be cautious.

As for the person outside, he seemed to be a formation master. His cultivation level was lower than the two of them, but he was proficient in formations and had already set up a formation outside to block their retreat!

Faced with a dilemma, Ye Qingyang was already quite adept at it. He quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and immediately came up with a solution. Just in case, he returned to his old ways and used his superb acting skills to extract information from the other party!

Ye Qingyang pretended to be wary as he stared at the two people in front of him, while the two of them were also staring at them with ill intent!

One of them chuckled and said, "This fellow Daoist is truly astute!"

Ye Qingyang calmly and skillfully replied, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me! I wonder what you two mean by this? I seem to have no grudges against my junior sister and three senior brothers!"

After saying this, Ye Qingyang stared intently at the other person's expression, trying to find a detail. The other person was clearly taken aback when he heard his words, and both of them wiped the smiles off their faces.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing ruthlessness. Ye Qingyang could see it clearly and knew that they were about to make a move. His guess was probably right!

As expected, the two attacked Ye Qingyang, saying fiercely, "We really underestimated you. Kid, you're definitely not someone to be trifled with!"
