Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

Zhao Yufei's trembling body, which had been on the verge of death, began to recover. Her white hair returned to black, and her Qi Blood was no longer dissipating.

Lin Xuankong didn't stop; he continuously waved his palm, channeling Qi Blood into the meridians of Han Feiyan and her three companions. In the next moment, they also recovered.

Only then did Lin Xuankong slightly relax.

Recalling the scene where they had almost died, Zhao Yufei, Han Feiyan, and the others' faces changed dramatically.

Han Feiyan quickly walked to the cave entrance and looked outside. She saw countless plants in the distance turning yellow.

This square-faced Female Martial Cultivator couldn't help but turn her head towards Lin Xuankong and the others, exclaiming, "Everything withers, instant white hair... This is the foremost strange poison of Great Marsh Prefecture, White Snake Venom! But why is it here?"

Upon hearing the words "White Snake Venom," Han Xiu and her two companions, thinking of their near-death experience moments ago, felt their bodies tremble slightly again, clearly terrified of this legendary and terrifying poison.

"It shouldn't be White Snake Venom. Otherwise, how could my husband's mere infusion of Qi Blood into everyone dispel its toxicity?" Zhao Yufei glanced outside the cave, furrowing her brows in confusion.

Lin Xuankong activated his Battle Armor to protect himself and walked to the cave entrance, using his Celestial Eye to survey the surroundings.

The fact that he possessed Immortal Tier First Grade poison immunity is too astonishing; I definitely can't reveal it to Han Feiyan and the others...

While looking around, he spoke, "Perhaps it's not White Snake Venom... The most important question now is, who used this strange and potent poison nearby!"

Han Feiyan and her three companions looked at Lin Xuankong, their faces full of confusion.

That poison wasn't White Snake Venom? But this withering of everything, the instant white hair...

Yet, since Lin Xuankong had spoken, none of them said anything further. After all, they hadn't personally experienced White Snake Venom before.

Those who had experienced White Snake Venom didn't get the chance to tell others in detail what it felt like to be poisoned.

Especially Han Feiyan; thinking about her rapid recovery, she began to doubt her previous judgment. Maybe it really isn't White Snake Venom?

「On the distant hillside」

Seeing Han Feiyan and Lin Xuankong chatting there, San Gu and the others were already "petrified" on the slope.

Instant death from White Snake Venom! How... how are these people completely fine?! This is absolutely impossible!

San Gu's six eyes stared fixedly at the cave entrance, completely unable to believe the scene before him.

The dozens of Tier Three masters also had faces full of doubt.

"When Chu Qing handed you this Jade Bottle, did he say it contained White Snake Venom?" Feng Zhulong frowned deeply.

"Of course it's White Snake Venom! As for why they didn't die... Perhaps the distance was too great, or the area of dispersal too wide, so the White Snake Venom's potency was reduced?" San Gu clutched the empty Jade Bottle, his voice laced with uncertainty.

After all, this was also his first time using White Snake Venom.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Looking at the scene of withered woods before them, and then at the "lively" Lin Xuankong and his group at the cave entrance, they all felt an extremely eerie sensation.

At this moment, seeing that no more plants were withering in the distance, San Gu, who had been stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and tossed the empty bottle aside. "Everyone, regardless, Lin Xuankong and his group are now alert. There's no chance for a sneak attack anymore. Let's go straight for them!"

"Everyone, remember one thing: Lin Xuankong's Thunder Technique is quite peculiar. If you see him raise his hand, close your eyes immediately to avoid being blinded!"

After saying this, he was the first to leap from the hillside, heading straight towards the cave.

Feng Zhulong frowned slightly upon hearing this. He stroked the black cat in his arms and said, "Blinded? According to my Feng Family's scouts, several months ago, Jiang Yuran used a Thunder Technique called Aurora Shining Heaven when fighting a Late Tier Four Demon. Could it be that Lin Xuankong also knows this Thunder Technique?"

Guo Chui suddenly said coldly, "Whatever Thunder Technique it is, since they were lucky enough not to be killed by the venom, then let them die at our hands!"

This warrior, ranked fourth on the Hero List, was clearly very confident in his own strength.

After saying this, he leaped from the hillside, and along with dozens of Martial Cultivators, headed towards the cave.

Lin Xuankong, standing at the cave entrance and observing the surroundings, saw dozens of Martial Cultivators, along with San Gu and the others, approaching quickly.

A look of realization dawned on his face. The Gu Yue Sect and the Spirit Snake Gang are birds of a feather. It's quite normal that San Gu could obtain that sweet-smelling White Snake Venom from the Spirit Snake Gang's people! But San Gu has gotten bold now? He ran like a rabbit before, and now he actually dares to come and intercept me... It seems he's found a few helpers to give him courage, has he?

"Guo Chui and Feng Zhulong! It's actually them!" Behind Lin Xuankong, Han Feiyan's voice, filled with dread, was heard.

Han Xiu and her two companions stood behind Han Feiyan, looking fearfully at the approaching crowd.

Zhao Yufei and Lin Xuankong's formidable strength made them seem mysterious and inspired deep respect in Han Feiyan's group. In contrast, Feng Zhulong and Guo Chui had once ruthlessly tortured them, leaving an indelible mark deep in their hearts, which naturally induced fear. Those are powerful experts ranked very highly on the Hero List, far more famous than Zhao Yufei!

Zhao Yufei stood beside Lin Xuankong, her eyes cold as she stared at the approaching San Gu and his cohorts.

When she first entered the Demon-Suppressing Valley, she had been wary of San Gu's strength. However, recently, with Lin Xuankong's help, her own strength had repeatedly broken through. The dread she once felt was gone, replaced by a brimming battle intent.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Martial Cultivators bypassed the large area of withered yellow woods and reached the cave.

They dispersed, each taking out their Exorcism Equipment, and surrounded Lin Xuankong and his group.

Han Feiyan and her three companions' faces changed drastically upon seeing this.

Dozens of Tier Three Martial Cultivators, each holding Exorcism Equipment! They are evidently all elites participating in this Demon Slaying Conference! So many powerful fighters with Exorcism Equipment, and on top of that, Feng Zhulong and Guo Chui...

Han Feiyan gritted her teeth, her thick eyebrows knitting together. She spoke in a low voice, "Daoist Zhao, Master Lin, you saved our lives. We've already gained by living these extra few days. When the fight starts, you two should break out as quickly as possible and not worry about the four of us!"

Upon hearing this, Han Xiu and her two companions' Qi Blood surged; they were ready to perform the Blood Burst Technique at any moment.

Lin Xuankong felt rather speechless seeing Han Feiyan and her companions preparing to self-destruct, just as they had when he first met them.

Zhao Yufei, however, shook her double hooks, her eyes fixed on San Gu, glinting with battle intent.

Standing next to San Gu, Feng Zhulong clearly didn't consider Zhao Yufei—ranked eighteenth and in the Late Stage of Tier Three—worthy of his attention.

He looked at Lin Xuankong and smiled. "I heard that you, old fellow, killed a Tier Three Marsh Python! I didn't expect you to be such a wolf in sheep's clothing. You almost cheated my Feng Family out of twenty-two times the amount in silver coins... Today, we'll settle this account!"

After saying this, Feng Zhulong patted the black cat in his arms and chuckled, "Kitty, go and devour him. That old face of his is quite annoying!"

"MROW~~~"

Upon landing on the ground, the black cat suddenly expanded dozens of times in size, transforming into a giant feline as large as a tiger. Its fur was glossy and smooth, its four paws extremely thick and strong; it looked truly majestic.

The Spirit Cat meowed softly a few times, shook its black fur, and lazily ambled towards Lin Xuankong. This powerful Spirit Cat, which had once killed a Tier Three Ghost Frog King, stared at Lin Xuankong, its own eyes gradually beginning to gleam.
