After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 117 Strange Poison
Although Mo Jiuwei herself could also act as a guide, the journey was too long, and she would definitely fall asleep along the way, unable to diligently guide the way continuously.

The Yue Dynasty official in front of them was indeed very familiar with Qinxue Pond. He had come here to pick berries for many years and knew the terrain and the distribution of fruit trees in the world.

If he's willing to lead the way, that would be ideal.

"This... I'm afraid it might be a bit troublesome for Fellow Daoist Yue?" Liu Feng quickly changed his tune after hearing Mo Jiuwei's words, but did not immediately agree.

"No, it's just on the way," Yue Chao said with a smile.

"If that's the case, then so be it." Liu Feng pretended to consider it for a moment before nodding.

So they all traveled together.

On the way, besides chatting, Yue Chao also tried to subtly inquire about Liu Feng and his group's background, but everyone was prepared and did not want to reveal their identities easily.

Liu Feng, for example, gave an alias, and the others did the same, either choosing a random surname or reversing their given name and surname.

For example, Meng Ling called herself Ling Meng.

It's unclear whether Yue Chao believed it or not, but thankfully he didn't pursue the matter further.

They walked for about two hours, during which time, led by Yue Chao, they found five large berry trees that had not attracted any competition. The trees showed signs of having been picked, but some freshly ripened fruit still remained on them.

"I only need to give the young lady about ten, the rest are yours," he said.

The people from the Immortal Sect didn't stand on ceremony with him; seeing that he didn't want it, they took the rest.

However, because there were outsiders present, the fruit was not taken to the immortal abode, but was instead carried in baskets by everyone.

After finding these trees, everyone found a secluded spot to rest for a while.

Mo Jiuwei had just woken up and reached out her hand as soon as she opened her eyes, "Guoguo."

Chen Lan chuckled, but still deftly picked out the reddest one from the basket and handed it to her, saying, "Here, have some."

Yue Chao, who had been curiously observing Mo Jiuwei, suddenly asked, "Isn't she a year old?"

"Yes," Chen Lan nodded.

After a child turns one year old, their constitution is different from that of an infant. If an infant can hardly be exposed to spiritual energy, then after turning one year old, they can gradually begin to do so.

Some powerful forces, in order to enable their children to cultivate early and lay a good foundation, often seek out spiritual items at high prices to give to their children after they turn one year old.

Based on the child's performance and the degree to which they demonstrate their Reiki talent, we will decide whether to continue investing money or discontinue the program.

Without a doubt, the large berries possess spiritual energy, and ordinary children at this age cannot consume them, but Mo Jiuwei can…

This is enough to show that these people have powerful connections!

At this point, Yue Chao wanted to marvel at his own keen eye, after all, these people were dressed too plainly, and from the outside, one could not see anything special about them; in fact, they looked rather shabby...

However, Mo Jiuwei became that tiny flaw, which he saw through!

"Has Fellow Daoist Yue found enough large berries? Then should we return to Shihan City?" Liu Feng asked him.

After several hours of searching, they now have three baskets full of berries!
In other words, the remaining path doesn't necessarily have to follow the Yue Dynasty.

Moreover, this person's motives are unclear, and he is stronger than himself. Liu Feng has no confidence in facing him.

Although Yue Chao seemed to be very candid during this process, revealing many things about his family, such as that they were a family of alchemists and that a ninth-level alchemist had once been produced in the family, Liu Feng became increasingly puzzled.

Why would someone from such a prestigious family actively try to get close to them?
Yue Chao's eyes flashed, and he naturally knew what Liu Feng meant by asking that question.

So he smiled and said, "To be honest, the reason I've come to see you all is because I have a favor to ask."

Everyone was even more puzzled—

"What is it?" Hu Jiu asked.

"This is actually what happened..."

As Yue Chao recounted his story, everyone finally understood his intentions.

It turned out that the young master of the Yue family had developed some strange illnesses. He had a persistent high fever, and his skin kept peeling off inexplicably, revealing bright red flesh.

If the skin is only slightly broken, you can apply medicine and bandage it up, so it won't affect your daily activities.

However, Young Master Yue's condition was very serious. Almost half of his skin had this abnormality, and it was evenly distributed in patches.

As a result, he could not even sit down to meditate, let alone do daily activities, and he could not lie down to sleep. Any touch would cause him excruciating pain.

The Yue family was originally a family of alchemists, and they had used all kinds of miraculous medicines. The head of the Yue family also invited many friends who were also alchemists to come, but they were all helpless against this strange disease.

However, it wasn't entirely fruitless. At least with everyone's collective wisdom, Young Master Yue's condition stopped worsening, and no new skin peeled off for several days.

But this is clearly not enough. If the high fever cannot be stopped and the wounds cannot heal, then Young Master Yue will surely lose his life.

Fortunately, things finally took a turn for the better yesterday—

Master Han, a seventh-tier alchemist, determined that Young Master Yue had been poisoned by a strange poison. The reason his skin was peeling off was because his body was covered with the eggs of a poisonous insect!

To heal his injuries, the first step is to remove the poisonous insect eggs so that the wound can heal without interference.

However, these poisonous insect eggs are very stubborn; ordinary medicines are ineffective against them. The most effective treatment is—

"Spiritual fire?"

Upon hearing these two words, Du Yue couldn't help but raise her voice in protest.

"Indeed, only spiritual fire can burn them out and save the young master."

Yue Chao sighed bitterly, “But how rare are spiritual fires? There are only seventeen known types of spiritual fires in the world, and nine of them already have owners. But the earlier a spiritual fire recognizes its owner, the stronger it is, and it will only burn the young master. Only those newly recognized spiritual fires are weaker and can kill those poisonous insect eggs without burning the young master.”

“That is indeed very difficult.” Liu Feng frowned. “Finding the spirit fire is already the biggest hurdle, let alone subduing it.”

“That’s right, but fortunately, our Yue family has found the Spirit Fire,” Yue Chao said.

The people of the Immortal Sect were all stunned.

Liu Feng also looked suspicious, "You found a spirit fire in such a short time? What kind of spirit fire is it?"

We only invited Master Han yesterday, and it's only been one day since then. No matter how fast we act, it's impossible to obtain a new spiritual fire!

That's a spirit fire! There are only 17 kinds of spirit fires that have been discovered and named on the entire continent so far!
