After the two elders reacted, their pupils shrank. The reason they were so set against Patriarch Ten Thousand Poisons was because they were much older than him.
If their lifespans were to end and the sect didn't have rising stars to hold the fort, they would only be swallowed up by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
"Hasn't that old poison master been researching some way of prolonging life recently? He probably saw through this point, so he restrained his sharpness, just waiting for us to die before attacking our sect."
"It must be so!"
Patriarch Xinyi sighed, "That old poison master is indeed becoming more and more difficult to deal with, but he's still a bit short. He let it slip when he got carried away."
"In that case, we can't let him live even more."
Patriarch Fire Spirit's expression was grave. He had originally wanted to watch the three sides fight, but now he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Then what should we do?" Patriarch Xinyi asked.
The two of them didn't have a good solution for a moment, so they didn't speak.
However, just as they were at their wits' end, a shout came from behind, "Patriarch!"
The three of them looked back and saw a stream of light approaching rapidly. Patriarch Xinyi said, "It's someone from our sect."
Soon, a Core Formation Peak elder arrived panting and hurriedly bowed, "Han Zhiyuan greets the Patriarch."
"Get up. What's the matter with you being so hurried?" Patriarch Xinyi asked.
Han Zhiyuan glanced at the other two elders, somewhat hesitant. Patriarch Xinyi said, "We are one now, no need to be shy."
"Yes."
Then, Han Zhiyuan bowed and recounted the information that Xiao Yingan had passed on.
"Oh?" The eyes of the three lit up upon hearing this. Patriarch Xinyi said, "What do you think?"
Patriarch Lingquan stroked his beard, "According to the records of my Four Symbols Sect, the 'Five Elements Poison Sutra' is the famous cultivation method of a Great Ascension expert from a long time ago, Venerable Five Poisons. The specific situation is unclear, but these taboos he mentioned are indeed true."
Patriarch Xinyi said, "My Divine Firmament Sect also has records of these, but did that old poison master really only obtain six layers of the cultivation method?"
Patriarch Lingquan pondered for a while, then suddenly a glint flashed in his eyes, "I'm eighty percent sure it's true!"
"Oh? How so?" the two asked in succession.
Patriarch Lingquan said directly, "According to records, Venerable Five Poisons only used a little over eight thousand years to cultivate to the Great Ascension stage back then.
Besides his own talent, it was also thanks to this 'Five Elements Poison Sutra'."
Patriarch Xinyi understood and continued, "And that old poison master was previously unknown, but suddenly rose to prominence, precisely because of this cultivation method.
This proves that this cultivation method can indeed speed up cultivation."
With one thing understood, everything became clear. Patriarch Fire Spirit also said:
"And now that old poison master is already over six thousand years old, according to the progress, he should have broken through to a higher realm long ago, but he has been slow to break through, probably because he doesn't have the subsequent cultivation method."
"That's why I said I'm eighty percent sure," Patriarch Lingquan said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"Now you know what to do, right?"
"Of course. After we each return, we will notify our disciples to search for poisonous creatures above the sixth rank, especially those that are extremely difficult to recognize, striving to achieve success in one fell swoop!"
With a solution, the three of them felt relieved.
Patriarch Xinyi said to Han Zhiyuan, "Go back and continue to maintain contact with that undercover agent, and report any situation at any time."
"Yes."
Poor them, they didn't know that they had already fallen into Lu Xin's trap.
… …
Three thousand miles outside the Divine Physician Sect, Lu Xin's true body appeared here.
The layout that should be set has already been set. Man proposes, God disposes. Next, he just needs to wait for the harvest.
So he left his clone in the cave and announced his seclusion.
And he was now going to follow in the footsteps of Venerable Five Poisons and embark on a new journey.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a year had passed.
After Lu Xin left the Divine Physician Sect, he went west all the way, then turned back south, passed through the Blazing Fire Region, and arrived at the Azure Abyss Region, which had been occupied by the demon race.
He wanted to pass through here to go to the demon race's habitat, the Western Desolate Lands.
According to Venerable Five Poisons, the more remote and harsh the environment, the easier it is to give birth to high-level poisonous creatures.
He had found the ninth-rank poisonous spiritual medicine, the Bone-Rotting Soul-Devouring Flower, in the westernmost part of the Western Desolate Lands back then.
So Lu Xin's next stop was to go there.
Of course, he wasn't going directly, but searching along the way as he went.
After all, many demons are poisonous, just like the Poison Dragon that was refined into an artifact spirit by Venerable Five Poisons.
With this purpose in mind, he stepped into the Azure Abyss Region.
Since the Azure Abyss Region was occupied by the demon race, the number of humans has decreased sharply. Those with cultivation either fled or were captured.
And most of the mortals were kept in captivity.
Becoming rations.
Lu Xin walked all the way, his brows never relaxed, and he also took action to save some.
With the influence of TV dramas like Madame White Snake in his previous life, he had no prejudice against demons.
Just like what the Desire Demon said, demons have good and bad, so demons should also have good and bad.
But he had never seen a good demon in the Azure Abyss Region.
But thinking about it, it's right. For those who can't yet live on spiritual energy, humans and demons are originally food for each other.
Just like how humans treat livestock, there will be no feelings.
Only a few humans and demons can truly live in peace.
Of course, understanding is understanding, but the position still needs to be there.
He would have ignored these humans' tragic situation if he hadn't seen it, but since he had seen it, he couldn't do what other high-level cultivators did, regarding mortals as ants.
Ignoring them.
So he would save them a little.
Of course, only to the best of his ability. If he encountered a Tribulation Transcendence old demon, he could only strategically transfer first.
However, this possibility is minimal in the Azure Abyss Region.
… …
"Thank you for saving us, Senior!"
In a desolate mountain, a group of mortals led by a Qi Training cultivator knelt before a Taoist carrying a long sword.
It was Lu Xin.
"Get up."
Lu Xin waved his hand, helping them up, and then took out a storage bag and handed it to the Qi Training cultivator.
"It contains some demon beasts that I killed along the way. Take this as food and head towards the Blazing Fire Region."
"Thank you, Immortal."
The group knelt again.
When they stood up again, they found that the Immortal's figure had already disappeared.
In the air, Lu Xin sighed. He didn't know how many batches he had saved.
Continuing forward, soon a demonic aura came straight towards him.
It was a Golden Core level demon race. Before the person arrived, the voice came first, "What human dares to wantonly destroy my Shadow Demon Fox clan's station?!"
He arrived in front of Lu Xin in the blink of an eye, revealing his figure. His triangular eyes sized him up and down, and soon his face changed drastically, "It's you?!"
Then he turned around and fled.
But he was quickly picked up in someone's hand.
"You recognize me?"
The demon race man nodded tremblingly, "Senior Pure Yang True Person, I didn't know it was you."
