Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Yuheng and the others saw this and wanted to go to their rescue, but they were also attacked by chains that shot out from the blood. They were barely able to protect themselves and could no longer care about these people.

"Gentlemen, we underestimated the treasures of this place. Let's all escape." Yuheng left these words and immediately used his abilities to speed up his escape.

Those who weren't caught by the chains quickly used their abilities to escape, while the unlucky ones were dragged into the bloody water by the chains in their desperate cries for help.

It's not that Yuheng and the others didn't want to save people, it's just that they couldn't.

The blood spread incredibly fast, because the Wind-Weeping Rainforest was full of swampy water. Not only the ground, but even the mist in the air was stained red, turning the white mist into red blood vapor.

At first, the crimson energy seemed harmless, but as the demonic beasts and human cultivators inhaled it, they all went mad.

Their eyes turned bloodshot, and then they attacked all living beings around them indiscriminately, whether they were fellow disciples or demonic beasts.

However, this energy is not destructive; as long as you don't inhale it, you can avoid being affected.

This once quiet, wind-soaked rainforest was transformed into a gloomy area permeated with blood and qi in less than a minute. Blood was everywhere, the air was filled with blood, and the ground was littered with monsters and humans killing each other.

This place is in complete chaos. What exactly is that knife? How can it be so powerful?

The place where Ye Liuyun and the other three were currently located was still quite safe. Their place had multiple formations, especially an energy isolation formation, which completely isolated this blood energy from the outside of the formation.

This sudden event made Ye Liuyun and the other three look very grim. The scene before them made them feel as if they were in a bloody hell, with a bloody smell permeating the air.

So this bright red blood and blood vapor might just be blood.

"What exactly happened? Is this blood?" Lin Aoxue asked solemnly, looking at the blood-scented aura outside.

Ye Liuyun already knew what was going on. Lin Qingyou had just told her that deep in the rainforest, in the area where the Rainforest King appeared, there was an evil weapon sealed away. The evil weapon was that knife.

This knife is a low-grade magic weapon. Its owner must be an evil cultivator, specifically one who cultivates the path of blood energy.

Once a magical artifact reaches the level of a spirit weapon, it can become sentient. Of course, the consciousness of a spirit weapon-level artifact is essentially nonexistent.

However, once a magic weapon reaches the Earth Rank, it has already developed a complete artifact spirit.

Such a weapon can attack or defend even without a master. Earth-rank weapons are weapons at the Nascent Soul level. If fully revived, they are enough to fight against Nascent Soul level cultivators.

Judging from the appearance, this knife should be the magic weapon of a powerful evil cultivator many years ago. It couldn't have been left here. Based on the condition of the corpse pierced by the demonic knife, the most likely scenario is that its owner was killed in a fight, and the cultivator who defeated the knife's owner was also pierced by the knife after killing the opponent. Then, for some reason, he had no choice but to seal the knife here.

This is the best explanation at present.

If a low-rank magic weapon without a master has an evil spirit, it will be a disaster for the surrounding living beings.

Now the seal has broken open, and the sealed spirit inside wants to break free. So it releases its power, which corrupts the Wind and Rain Forest. The power emanating from the blade can drive people mad, and then it controls them to attack other living beings.

Now the entire Wind-Weeping Rainforest is enveloped by the power of this demonic sword's spirit. As long as living beings continue to die, the demonic sword can absorb all the life force of these living beings through the waters here into its own body to restore its own power.

This demonic blade devours not only life force and blood, but also the souls of living beings.

Once this weapon regains its power, it will definitely be able to easily break the seal, and a magic weapon comparable to a cultivator in the Transformation Realm will be born. Moreover, it is an evil weapon, and it is not impossible for it to even massacre the Six Yang Mountains.

No wonder the Rainforest King told them to act within their capabilities; this might not be an opportunity, but could also be a disaster.

Knowing she couldn't defeat the demonic blade, she ran away with her wife.

By the way, why did the Rainforest King and Queen continue to live here even though they knew this treasure was an evil weapon and a time bomb?

That's because the Rainforest King and Queen cultivated to their current level by absorbing the power seeping out of this demonic sword.

They had the audacity to stay here if the seal hadn't been broken, but now that a crack has appeared in the seal, they have no way to repair it. It would be foolish not to leave.

With their level of cultivation, they could easily find a suitable place to live in.

"This? That's too exaggerated! A mere Earth-rank magic weapon can generate such great power. If it were a Heaven-rank magic weapon, wouldn't it be unparalleled?" Ye Liuyun said in surprise after hearing Lin Qingyou's explanation.

"Don't worry, this is the outer area, the energy isn't that concentrated. The formation here can completely block it. However, if no one comes to deal with this demonic sword, not only the Wind Weeping Rain Forest, but the entire Yun Sect's territory will probably be in turmoil. Little guy, you might not be able to stay out of this matter," Lin Qingyou reminded him.

This has become a disaster for the entire region; if you're in this area, it's very difficult to remain unaffected.

Chapter 222 Blood-Red Forest

Hearing Lin Qingyou say this, Ye Liuyun felt relieved, at least for now, that they would be safe.

As for whether to try to resolve the crisis in this area, that's a matter for later. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; it's not their place to worry about this.

After all, Yun Zong isn't a dead man. If Yun Zong can't solve this, there's still the Supreme Response Sect. In any case, someone will always be able to resolve this matter. These weak cultivators should take care of their own affairs first before thinking about other problems.

Ye Liuyun secretly glanced at Lin Aoxue and the others. She noticed that the three of them were no longer so calm, and she could clearly see the worry on their faces.

Of course, they are naturally worried because they don't know the situation.

"Master, do you think I should tell them about this?" Ye Liuyun asked.

But Lin Qingyou immediately countered with a question.

"You're just a lowly Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, how do you know so much? How are you going to explain this to them? Just remind your little darling wife later."

This question stumped Ye Liuyun.

"What? Third sister, little sister, something terrible is about to happen in the Wind and Rain Forest. We're on the edge of the area, so why don't we leave here quickly?" Yan Yu suggested, her brows furrowed.

But Ye Liuyun shook his head.

"Big sister, look at the blood energy permeating outside the formation. This blood energy is clearly an unknown energy. If we run out now and absorb this energy, we'll regret it when something happens." Ye Liuyun disapproved of leaving.

Lin Aoxue was also using her powerful divine sense to observe the surrounding situation.

Although there were no other cultivators in this area, there were a large number of swamp monsters. After absorbing the blood-red energy, these swamp monsters went berserk and started attacking each other.

This energy clearly affects the thinking of living beings.

“Liu Yun is right. Take a close look at those swamp monsters below. They were peaceful before, but now they’ve become bloodthirsty and frenzied. They’ve probably been affected by this energy. Until we figure out what’s going on, I think it’s better to stay here,” Lin Aoxue reminded her.

Seeing this, Yan Yu and Chen Yao quickly checked the situation in the swamp below. They found that there was indeed a problem: the swamp monsters were rolling around in the blood and eating each other, which was a chilling sight.

"This? It seems that what happened in the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest is no small matter." Chen Yao frowned as well.

And at that moment, Chen Yao's identity token began to tremble.

It was a message from their sect, roughly saying that something had happened in the Wind and Rain Forest and they were requesting the sect's support. This should have been sent by Yuheng and the others.

The moment Yuheng and the others unleashed this power, they tried to escape, but little did they know that the demonic beasts and cultivators seemed to be controlled by this energy, surrounding them from all directions and preventing them from leaving.

Not only that, but blood-red chains also occasionally protrude from the ground. If they are caught, their fate will probably not be good.

By the way, Dao Palace cultivators can isolate their qi and blood with their own power, so they are not easily controlled.

However, the cultivators in the Sea of ​​Wheels and the demonic beasts in the Wind and Rain Forest could not escape. Even the demonic beasts in the late stage of the Dao Palace were eroded and controlled by the blood and qi.

"As expected, something serious has happened. Our sect elders have appealed for help from the sect and all the cultivators in the surrounding sects," Chen Yao said in a heavy tone after reading the token.

Not only them, but Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun also received distress messages from Yunxia Sect cultivators. Many disciples of Yunxia Sect were also training in the Wind and Rain Forest, and they had no time to react to this sudden event.

However, the negative energy in this blood and qi is not entirely unresistable. As long as your willpower is strong enough, you can break free from its control. But the problem now is that if you cannot escape the area covered by this energy in a short time, even if you manage to break free from the first control with your willpower, you will be eroded by the energy again immediately.

"This? Liu Yun, I can't just sit idly by. Many of our fellow disciples are trapped in the Wind and Rain Forest." After reading the message, Lin Aoxue looked at Ye Liu Yun with a solemn expression.

Ye Liuyun knew what Lin Aoxue meant just by looking at her expression.

She respected her woman's choice. Having received the favor of the Yunxia Sect, she certainly couldn't back down when others needed her, especially since she was the future sect leader of the Yunxia Sect.

Of course, this should be done within one's means.

"Let's ask the sect leader what they mean first. Tell them about the situation in the Weeping Rain Forest. We need to rescue the disciples trapped inside, but we can't just blindly rush in. We need to prepare to resist the invasion of this blood-red energy into our bodies first," Ye Liuyun said calmly.

Lin Aoxue nodded, and then quickly contacted Yun Yun.

However, before reporting, Ye Liuyun came to Lin Aoxue's side and whispered the situation to her.

The gist of it is that they told Lin Aoxue that there is an evil artifact in the Wind and Rain Forest, and that the commotion was caused by the evil artifact.

Although Lin Aoxue didn't know how Ye Liuyun knew, she understood the meaning behind his words: he wanted her to remind the sect not to rashly enter the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest.

Yun Yun and the others had already received news of a major change in the Wind and Rain Forest. Even if no one told them, they could sense an evil force brewing there.

They were discussing how to deal with this unexpected event. Their Yunxia Sect was the sect closest to the Six Yang Mountains. If any disaster or change were to occur, their Yunxia Sect would be the first to be affected. It was understandable that they were anxious.

"According to the message sent back by the disciples of the Six Yang Mountains, the Wind and Rain Forest is shrouded in an evil energy, and some disciples are trapped in the Wind and Rain Forest. Everyone, what do you think could be the reason?" Yun Yun asked with a furrowed brow.

"It's hard to say. It's possible that some treasure has appeared in the world. But even if it is a great treasure, judging from the fluctuations of this power, it's probably beyond our reach. We should report this to the sect." Yun Che suggested.

The other elders also agreed with Yun Che's words. They couldn't force things beyond their control, or things would go terribly wrong.

Yun Yun respected their choice and prepared to contact Yun Zong.

But just as Yun Yun was about to contact Yun Zong, she received a message from Lin Aoxue.

"This? An evil artifact? How could this be?" Yun Yun was shocked.

When Yun Che and the others heard the words "evil artifact," their expressions changed. To be qualified to be called an evil artifact, it must be at least an Earth-rank magic weapon. Even the Yun Sect might not be able to handle a magic weapon of this level.

"Senior Sister? What's wrong? An evil artifact? Does it mean an evil artifact has appeared in the Wind and Rain Forest? Who sent this news?" Yun Che asked hurriedly.

Yun Yun's face was unusually pale.

"It was Aoxue who relayed it. She happened to be training in the Wind and Rain Forest when she stumbled upon this incident." Although Yun Yun didn't know how Lin Aoxue knew that the commotion was caused by an evil artifact, she preferred to believe it rather than not.

“If that’s the case, then we must report this to the Yun Sect. We can’t afford to take this on. Also, is Ao Xue alright? If she can leave the danger zone, we should get her out as soon as possible,” the higher-ups quickly said.

Yun Yun took a deep breath and then sent a message to Lin Aoxue, telling her to be careful and not to wander around if she was in a safe area, but to wait for the sect's actions.

After sending the message to Lin Aoxue, Yun Yun informed Yun Zong, and the news immediately caused a huge uproar in Yun Zong.

The ancestor of the Transformation Realm of the Cloud Sect left the Cloud Sect immediately and flew towards the Six Yang Mountains.

Upon receiving this news, Yun Zong was worried, but at the same time, he felt that this might be an opportunity for Yun Zong. If Yun Zong could subdue this evil artifact and purify it, it might become the greatest weapon for Yun Zong to deal with future changes.

Of course, the four powerful experts of the Cloud Sect also followed suit. The evil weapon was born, and if it was not suppressed in time, it would be a catastrophe.

They cannot allow such a thing to happen on their own territory.

As for Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue had already received several rescue messages from her fellow disciples.

Some Yunxia Sect disciples who were active on the outskirts of the Weeping Rainforest still had self-awareness, which is why they kept sending messages for help.

"Liu Yun, do you have any way to isolate this crimson energy?" Lin Aoxue asked anxiously.

She wasn't the type to wait patiently. If Ye Liuyun hadn't been there, given her personality, she would have definitely gone to test the power of this energy long ago. If she could withstand this crimson energy, she would have rushed out immediately.

"Now that you mention it, I do seem to have a certain kind of pill here that might be useful," Ye Liuyun replied.

After speaking, she took out her pill book and flipped through it. She found a pill that she hadn't named. Because she had refined too many pills, many of which had unclear effects and some of which were not very useful, Ye Liuyun named these kinds of pills with numbers.

The pill Ye Liuyun mentioned is pill number 128. Its effect is that after taking it, a thin film of bubbles will condense on the surface of the body. According to experimental results, it can isolate external energy. For example, if you jump into water, you can still breathe without choking.

After confirming the elixir, Ye Liuyun searched his person and quickly found the long-forgotten elixir.

"Alright, this is the pill. Whether it will work or not, I don't know. We'll have to try it to find out," Ye Liuyun said, pouring a blue pill from the medicine bottle.

"I can't worry about that now. Someone will definitely handle this big problem. I'll only worry about the disciples of our Yunxia Sect. I'll try it first. If it works, I'll go and save them. Otherwise, by the time the sect arrives, it'll be too late." Lin Aoxue said, then swallowed the pill.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao looked at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue with puzzled expressions.

They both knew that Ye Liuyun must have some secrets, but they never asked too many questions.

As the pill entered her body, a blue light emanated from Lin Aoxue's abdomen. The blue light penetrated her skin and formed a thin film resembling bubbles on her skin surface.

She reached out and touched it, finding that her body felt like it was covered in plastic wrap. Then, she carefully stretched her hand out of the formation to sense the state of her blood energy.

The reason Ye Liuyun dared to let Lin Aoxue try it was because even if Lin Aoxue didn't use the pill, nothing would happen. Her Ascension Immortal Body had a natural purification effect, and this kind of negative energy was useless to her.

Chapter 223 The Glow of Dawn Shines on the Summit

After Lin Aoxue's hand touched the crimson energy outside, she felt nothing. Although the blood had fallen on her hand, she had no sense of contact with it. In other words, the pill was indeed effective, and the blood had isolated her.

"It works." Lin Aoxue said with a smile, and then flew away.

Once she flew outside, she would normally be drenched in blood, but in reality, the blood that landed on her was all deflected, and she didn't feel any external force invading her.

Yan Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Third Sister, besides being a weapon refiner, you're also an alchemist?" Chen Yao looked at Ye Liuyun with a surprised expression.

Ye Liuyun smiled smugly.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it. My cultivation aptitude isn't good enough. So far, I'm only at the Spirit Stream Realm, and I haven't improved much over the years. That's why I plan to focus on a secondary profession. I'm very interested in all secondary professions," Ye Liuyun replied.

However, Yan Yu held the same opinion as Lin Aoxue.

“A secondary profession is indeed much better for a cultivator’s survival than regular cultivation. However, Third Sister, forgive my bluntness, but if your cultivation level cannot be improved, all of this is ultimately only temporary. Do you understand?” Yan Yu said earnestly.

Chen Yao, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. If one's cultivation level is not high, it means that one will not live long. If one does not live long, it is like a flash in the pan. What is the point of that?

Most cultivators rely on secondary professions to earn a lot of cultivation resources, which they then invest in themselves to improve their cultivation level.
