Chapter 881 Trivial Matters at the Garrison
After listening, Xiao He pressed for an answer:

"Is it because the spirit realm lacks spiritual plants suitable for refining the antidote, or is it because our cultivation level is insufficient to refine the antidote?"

Yun Xi shook his head and said:
"The sect leader who ascended to immortality originally created 'Entangle' to poison the male cultivator who had betrayed his daughter. He didn't leave behind any antidote recipe. Without a recipe, how can an antidote be made?"

After hearing this, Xiangsizi added:

"If there is no antidote, then we can only use magic to suppress it, or there is another possibility."

Yunxi turned her head and asked:

"What's possible?"

"They have elixirs of immortality."

Yunxi suddenly realized:
“You’re right. If they had a Celestial-grade antidote pill, they might actually be able to cure this poison. However, the Boundless Ruins have been closed for hundreds of thousands of years. Would they have any Celestial-grade pills left behind?”

The three True Venerables exchanged glances, none of them able to give a definite answer. The Void of Nothingness was not a place they could set foot in. Du'e bluntly stated:

"Whether they have elixirs or not, we'll find out soon enough. Now that we have poison to kill the evil insects, they can no longer recklessly release them into the battlefield, giving us a much-needed respite. This is very advantageous for us."

Next, we can try to find the weakness at the entrance of the passage. Once Situ Xuanming and Cao Yi have refined the new array plate, that will be our time to counterattack. I want to end this battle during my mission period.”

Yu Tang Feng Xin nodded and said:
"Alright, let's wait and see how things develop. However, we still need three Mahayana cultivators to be stationed at the front line at the same time."

No one objected. The Evil Lord was known for his vindictiveness, and having suffered such a great loss, he would surely seek revenge on the battlefield.

Yu Tang Feng Xin then looked at Xiang Si Zi and said:
"Xiangsi Zi, your poison has played a significant role today. Please refine some more to prepare for unforeseen circumstances."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Xiang Si Zi bowed in agreement, and then left the tent together with Ran Xi.

Yunxi was about to visit her master when Xiangsizi invited her to his tent. After she sat down, he asked:
"Why did you bring me here?"

After Xiangsizi sat down, she diligently poured Yunxi a cup of spiritual tea before saying:

"Your Majesty, the 'Entanglement' I concocted is an improvement on the 'Entanglement' you gave me. The active ingredient is still the diluted 'Entanglement.' We've already used up the previous batch of 'Entanglement.' Could you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she smiled obsequiously.

Yunxi glanced at Xiangsizi, smiled, and said:

"You're preparing to use 'Entanglement' to break through to the Void Refinement stage."

She immediately guessed the purpose of the love-sick seed.

The fawning smile on Xiangsi Zi's face faltered for a moment, then she readily admitted:
"Yes, nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty. I do indeed have this plan."

Yunxi shook her head and said:

"You've witnessed the toxicity of 'Entanglement' yourself. Are you confident you can absorb it? Don't end up losing your life." Xiangsi Zi's smile faded, and she said helplessly.

"Your Excellency Ranxi, you know how difficult it is for a poison cultivator to advance in cultivation. I was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage thanks to the 'Flower Beauty' you gave me. After ascending to the Spirit Realm, I was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage with the blessing of merit because of my contributions to the ascension of the entire realm. After that, I did not find an opportunity to break through for a long time."

That's why I accepted the mission issued by the Loose Cultivator Alliance and came to the Ancient Battlefield. Also, because I am a poison cultivator, even though my cultivation level did not meet the mission standards, True Venerable Du'e agreed to let me accept this mission.

Fortunately, I was lucky. The appearance of the evil insect gave me a chance to use my skills, and with the 'Entanglement' provided by the Venerable One, I was qualified to meet the True Venerable Ones. So I wanted to take a gamble and break through the Void Refinement stage to enter the ranks of high-level cultivators. I could also explore some dangerous places and find my own opportunities.

I want to earn myself a chance to refine 'immortal bones' and ascend to immortality with the spirit realm.

Yunxi was not surprised by Xiangsizi's explanation. The cultivators who entered the ancient battlefield this time were well aware of the danger of entering the battlefield at this time. In addition to training, they probably all wanted to seek breakthroughs and temper their character so that they could pass the test and obtain the qualification to refine "immortal bones".

Xiang Si Zi entered the battlefield with the cultivation level of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and that was all she wanted. Yun Xi understood her thoughts, but she still had to make it clear beforehand that she really did not have the antidote for "Entanglement". If the poison entered her body, she would only die.

But the acacia seed firmly stated:

“Your Excellency Ranxi, I am well aware of the risks involved, but I have decided to take the gamble. If the poison does enter my body, it is my fate, and I will not blame Your Excellency.”

Since the other party had already made their point, Yunxi sighed, nodded, and took out a jade slip, saying:
"Prepare the poisonous herbs inside. I will personally refine one for you, but this is the only one. Once you leave this tent, I will not admit to refining 'Entangle' to anyone who asks me."

A sincere smile appeared on Xiangsi Zi's alluring face. After accepting the jade slip, she immediately swore an oath:

"Xiangsi Zi hereby swears that no third party will know what I discussed with Venerable Ranxi today. If this matter is leaked from my mouth, may I be struck by lightning and die from poison."

As soon as she finished speaking, a very faint wisp of the power of law entered her brow, signifying that the vow had been fulfilled.

Yunxi then left Xiangsizi's tent with peace of mind and went directly to Yuling's temporary seclusion place.

Yu Ling's residence was shrouded in an array, with several communication talismans hovering outside the array. It seemed that someone was trying to contact Yu Ling, but since Yu Ling had not yet come out of seclusion, she could not check the communication talismans.

Yunxi released her divine sense to patrol around Yu Ling's residence, confirming that the formation was stable and there were no problems, before withdrawing her divine sense and turning back to her own residence.

Meanwhile, Situ Xuanming and Cao Yi were also very busy lately. They visited all the weapon refiners in the garrison and the rear city, and exchanged for a batch of high-grade weapon refining ore. The two asked Nan Yue, an eighth-grade weapon refiner who was one of the best among them, to refine the ore, and then began to try to refine the array plate.

The bearded Nan Yue had been thoroughly tormented by Situ Xuanming lately, feeling that no matter how he refined his weapons, he couldn't reach the hardness standard the other man had specified. Finally, he slammed his forging hammer heavily on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"The load-bearing strength you mentioned can only be achieved with celestial-grade materials. Even if I remove all the impurities from the ore, I still cannot refine the array plate you described. If you can, then you do it!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yi silently wiped the sweat from his brow. He knew very well that what the Venerable of Nan Yue said was true, but if the array plate did not reach the strength to bear the power of the special array patterns, all their efforts would be in vain, and they would ultimately be unable to complete the task of blowing up the entrance to the passage.

So he immediately stepped forward to smooth things over, saying:

“Your Excellency Nan Yue, it is not that Senior Xuan Ming is being nitpicky, but if the array plates we refine do not reach this level, it is impossible to inscribe array patterns. We only tried to inscribe one array pattern before the array plate shattered.”

After speaking, he looked at Situ Xuanming.

Situ Xuanming reluctantly took out the fragments of the array plate he had collected earlier from his storage jade belt and handed them to Nan Yue, saying:

"Brother Nan, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but even this ninth-order array plate couldn't last five breaths."
