Chapter 490 Setting a Trap
Although Hanlian did not agree with Yunxi's generosity, she respected her decision. In her opinion, Yunxi would not do this for no reason. So she accepted the jade slip and went to see her master.

When Han Lian met her master, Hao Miaoling was also in her master's cave. Before Han Lian could speak, Hao Miaoling stepped forward and bowed, saying:

“Senior Sister Hanlian, this matter was due to Miaoling’s lack of consideration. She shouldn’t have gone to find you before clarifying the situation, putting you in a difficult position.”

Hao Miaoling's attitude was very sincere, with an expression of having been taught a lesson. She lowered her eyes and solemnly apologized to Han Lian.

Han Lian merely glanced at the other person without responding. The deed was done, the damage was done, and an apology couldn't solve the problem.

Venerable Hanxiao coughed lightly and said:

"Hanlian, Miaoling is at fault in this matter, but she was also influenced by others. A disciple deliberately said some ambiguous things in front of her, implying that she should seek your help to resolve my troubles."

Those people have been arrested. They confessed that they were acting under orders and received spirit stones in return. The investigation is ongoing, and we will definitely catch the mastermind behind it.

Han Lian simply nodded, then handed the jade slip that Ran Xi had given her to Han Xiao, saying:
“Master, this is the medicine prescription given by Ranxi. Out of respect for her disciple, she is willing to let you see the prescription first. If you still insist on the transaction after seeing it, she will sell the prescription to the sect for the price of a mid-grade ice-type spiritual vein, and promises that this prescription will not be sold to any other sect or family except Haoran Sect.”

Han Xiao accepted the jade slip without hesitation. She hadn't expected her disciple to have such a high status; it was clearly giving the Extreme Cold Sect an advantage. So she nodded and said:
"Ranxi has considered things very carefully. I assure you that no matter whether the sect purchases this medicine formula or not, the contents of the formula will not be leaked from me."

Since it concerned the reputation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Han Xiao didn't want to be looked down upon by Ran Xi.

After she finished speaking, she probed the jade slip with her divine sense. However, after reading it, her brows furrowed involuntarily. The jade slip listed one hundred kinds of spiritual plants and one hundred kinds of demonic plants for refining breakthroughs to the Nascent Soul stage. Regardless of the quantity, two of the main ingredients had already disappeared in the Weiyu Realm.

Among the ten important auxiliary medicines is the root of the Vitality Tree. Not to mention that the Extreme Cold Sect doesn't have it, even if they knew that Medicine King Valley had the Vitality Tree, they might not be willing to sell the Vitality Tree root to the Extreme Cold Sect. It's obvious to anyone that a spiritual plant with damaged roots is very likely to wither.

"No wonder Ranxi was willing to let me see it first. It's already the limit if we can gather 70% of the refining materials with the strength of the entire sect."

Han Lian didn't look, nor did she bother to take advantage of such a thing. Just as she was about to ask, Hao Miaoling, who was standing to the side, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, then began to vomit blood, which was all black.

Han Xiao flashed to the junior disciple's side and flicked a pill into her mouth, temporarily stopping the vomiting of blood. Hao Miaoling gasped for breath and said:
"Master, save me!"

Han Lian, who was standing nearby, saw black lines appearing on Hao Miaoling's exposed skin. These lines were spreading along the veins all over her body.

Han Xiao's expression turned cold, and she immediately released several streams of icy spiritual energy to stop the spread of the black patterns. Then she said to Han Lian:

"Miaoling has been poisoned. Send a message to your Martial Aunt Hanying."

"Yes."

Han Lian raised her hand, conjuring an ice flower, and waved it towards Han Ying's cave, then muttered to herself:

"How did he suddenly get poisoned?"

At this moment, Hao Miaoling was still relatively conscious. She grabbed Han Xiao's sleeve and said:
"Master, it's... Venerable Ranxi! She's... taking revenge on her disciple!"

Han Lian's face darkened, and she rebuked:
"Shut up! How dare you slander a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Han Xiao frowned as well. In her opinion, Ran Xi wouldn't stoop to such a drastic act within the Extreme Cold Sect. Even if she was displeased, she wouldn't embarrass Han Lian. However, given the critical situation of her junior disciple, she turned and said:

"Hanlian, don't listen to Miaoling's nonsense. I will punish her. However, I remember that Ranxi is a successor of the Medical Immortal Sect. Her medical skills must be quite good. Could you please ask her to take a look as well?"

Han Lian was almost bursting with anger, but she remained rational and simply nodded, saying:
"I'll go and invite her myself." As he turned to leave his master's cave, he brushed past Han Ying, who was rushing over.

Han Ying raised an eyebrow as she watched Han Lian leave with a sullen face, then entered the cave.

On the other side, Yunxi was waiting for Hanlian to come. She was also gambling, betting that Hao Miaoling would be so bold. Anyway, the bait had already been laid, and she would have no loss whether or not she took the bait.

When Han Lian appeared before Yun Xi, she didn't know what expression to make, but she still succinctly explained her purpose and stated her stance:

"Ranxi, if you don't want to go, stay at Guest Peak. I'll handle the rest."

"It's alright, let's go and see what's going on. After all, she's your junior sister, and as your friend, I can't just stand by and do nothing. If I do that, wouldn't it create a rift between you and Venerable Hanxiao? It's just a matter of taking her pulse; it won't take much time."

Yunxi said very generously.

Now that she was certain Hao Miaoling had taken the bait, she had a chance to get her hands on the black token, so she definitely had to go there in person.

"Thank you!"

Han Lian could only utter these two words before she and Yun Xi went to Han Xiao's cave.

When the two entered the cave, Han Ying had already taken Han Xiao's pulse, but she shook her head at her, indicating that she was powerless to help.

Han Xiao was stunned, then asked:
"Junior Sister Hanying, what kind of poison has Miaoling been poisoned with? Even the fifth-grade antidote pill is ineffective?"

Han Ying shook her head and said:
"I don't know what kind of poison it is, but it not only affects her physical body, but also her soul. It's a mixed poison. I can't tell the rest, after all, I'm not an expert in this field."

Hao Miaoling could feel the poison still spreading throughout her body, but the intervention of the Nascent Soul cultivator had slowed its spread. Upon seeing Han Lian and Ran Xi enter the cave, she could only plead:

"Senior Sister, Venerable Ranxi, please save me!"

After saying that, he couldn't stop spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

Looking at the disheveled Hao Miaoling, Yunxi pretended to extend a wisp of spiritual energy into the other's body to ensure the poison she had placed was taking effect, then withdrew the wisp and said:

“Venerable Hanxiao, I can cure your disciple’s poison, but she needs to give up something in exchange.”

Before her master could respond, Hao Miaoling wiped the blood from her lips and asked:
"Venerable Ranxi, what do you want?"

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"The black token in your hand!"

Upon hearing this, Hao Miaoling's expression changed. She immediately abandoned her physical body and prepared to escape at the cost of burning her divine soul.

The next instant, three spells descended simultaneously, trapping the departed soul within Han Xiao's cave. Only then did Yun Xi step forward, examining the slowly darkening soul from top to bottom, and coldly said:
"Zuoqiu, it's been a long time!"

　See you tomorrow! Good night!
