Chapter 1770: Chapter 1762: The Graceful Figure by the Soul-breaking Sea

Poisoned!

And it’s a life-threatening poison!

Nong Zhenyang and Ma Rong, who had been screaming in pain, looked up in horror, as if their suffering suddenly mattered less.

"Is the poison we ingested the result of the Cabbage Ginseng you stopped us from putting in earlier?"

Nong Zhenyang glared at Lin Tian and loudly asked.

The others also glared, looking bewildered.

That was clearly Cabbage Ginseng; how could it be a mistake?

"Nonsense, I warned you earlier, but you wouldn’t listen!"

Lin Tian said irritably, "Now, you can really taste the bitterness! Isn’t it exhilarating!"

He glanced at Xu Junya, whose delicate face was now pale with apparent pain.

But Lin Tian remained unmoved.

Only by experiencing a setback can one grow wise!

Be aware.

In his past life, he heard of some cultivators specializing in medical skills, willing to take risks to create stronger elixirs by tasting various herbs, regardless of how often they got poisoned.

Some even nearly lost their lives!

The mere Nine-Ding Wood poisoning before them is nothing.

Lin Tian figured since they were studying medicine, a bit of suffering would be a lesson.

Using medicine is an extremely meticulous matter!

Without absolute certainty and confidence, medicines must not be used or consumed recklessly!

Xu Junya and the others are a significant lesson!

If he hadn’t shown up, in such a desolate wilderness, they might have died from the Nine-Ding Wood poison right there.

"Was it really that Cabbage Ginseng?"

Xu Junya looked at Lin Tian and asked.

"That wasn’t Cabbage Ginseng!"

Lin Tian shook his head and replied, "That’s called Nine-Ding Wood, a type of Poisonous Herb! It merely looks somewhat like Cabbage Ginseng! It’s rare, and you happened upon it by chance!"

"Oh crap... we really ingested Poisonous Herb!"

Ma Rong exclaimed in horror, shouting, "What do we do? Should we leave for the hospital now? But we can’t move, Lin Tian, please think of something..."

Si Xiaoyu also chimed in, "You know this is Nine-Ding Wood; do you have a solution? Can you detoxify it?"

"Since I recognize it, of course, I have the means to detoxify it! Otherwise, would I just watch you die? By the time you get to the hospital, you’d be dead!"

Lin Tian slightly shook his head, then fetched four leaves from his belongings and handed them to the four, saying, "Chew these; within ten minutes, the poison will be neutralized!"

These were precisely the Spiritual Grass he had that could counteract Nine-Ding Wood, effective upon direct consumption.

The poison from Nine-Ding Wood isn’t extremely potent, manageable even at a hospital.

Mainly, in half an hour, it would solidify the blood and moisture in the body, making it difficult for even immortals to save.

Xu Junya and the others, half-believing, consumed the herbal medicine Lin Tian provided.

Ten minutes later.

The four found themselves able to move again, standing up excitedly.

"Lin Tian, we’re truly grateful to you this time!"

Xu Junya stood before Lin Tian, gratitude written all over her face.

This time she understood Lin Tian had done them a huge favor, even saving their lives.

If Lin Tian hadn’t appeared.

They would have undoubtedly consumed the Nine-Ding Wood, possibly leading to death for all four.

Ma Rong and Si Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, then stepped forward, saying, "You saved our lives!"

"I... we genuinely didn’t recognize it as Nine-Ding Wood, mistaking it for Cabbage Ginseng!"

Si Xiaoyu’s face flushed slightly, embarrassed.

To the side.

Nong Zhenyang moved his body.

Finding no abnormalities.

He hesitated.

Then joined them.

"Brother, I owe you my life, Nong Zhenyang! My prior attitude towards you was wrong, I’m sorry!"

Nong Zhenyang was bold, thanking and apologizing to Lin Tian in front of everyone.

Yet.

He gritted his teeth.

Glanced at Xu Junya.

Finally added, "But... I also like Xiao Ya, if you have intentions towards her, I won’t give up!"

These words stunned Lin Tian.

Meanwhile, Xu Junya’s face turned red, angrily saying, "Nong Zhenyang, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Xiao Ya, I..."

Nong Zhenyang seemed at a loss, opened his mouth but couldn’t find the words to continue.

"Alright, my clothes are about dry, we should catch our ride now!"

Xu Junya interrupted Nong Zhenyang, then looked at Lin Tian, suggesting, "Aren’t you heading to Mizhou City too? Why not travel together?"

"Alright! My first time in the area, having company is great!"

Lin Tian agreed without hesitation, happily accepting.

Xu Junya went to gather her clothes, nearly dried by the wind.

She entered the tent, changed her clothes, then came out to pack her things.

Soon, everyone was ready.

Lin Tian accompanied them out of Qingsong Grand Canyon toward Taian City to catch a ride.

...

While Lin Tian was heading to Mizhou City.

In the distant Central Continent Inland.

A vast unknown Wilderness Mountain Ridge.

It was one of the most powerful cultivation domains in Central Continent - the Holy Fall Land!

And at the northernmost part of Holy Fall Land, lies a magnificent inland sea.

That sea is called the Soul-breaking Sea!

Perpetually frozen, amidst the snow-covered terrain, sprawling endlessly. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Beside the Soul-breaking Sea, stands a grand city built with irregularly angled giant stones.

A bird’s-eye view reveals this as a colossal Ancient City!

Stretching twenty kilometers long and over ten kilometers wide!

Outwardly considered a large city!

Enclosed on three sides by towering giant mountains, with the Soul-breaking Sea on the other side!

This is one of the most powerful cultivation forces within the Holy Fall Land domain.

——Duan Hun City!

Not far from Duan Hun City.

A spiral stone staircase defies gravity, rising hundreds of meters up, connecting with a void island high in the sky, dotted with pavilions and towers, occasionally hidden amid the clouds.

This represents another powerful faction of Holy Fall Land, and the strongest force around the Soul-breaking Sea — Xuanhua Sword Pavilion!

At the moment.

Between Xuanhua Sword Pavilion and Duan Hun City.

On Duan Hun Coast, a figure stood tall, loneliness lingering around, silently watching.

The figure was a girl, appearing seventeen or eighteen, dressed in a pale traditional skirt Martial Arts Uniform, sword at her waist, with her long hair tied into a ponytail, cold and detached, her deep beautiful eyes quietly gazing across the vast Soul-breaking Sea.

If Lin Tian were here now, he would immediately recognize the girl standing there as — Gao Yang Jiajia!

"Lin Tian... when I grow strong, I’ll come find you! Then... Jiajia will protect you!"

Gazing at the ice-bound Soul-breaking Sea, Gao Yang Jiajia whispered to herself.

But as soon as she spoke, footsteps approached the pavilion from outside.

A tall, handsome young man walked in.
