In the center of Arnhem, a bonfire was burning brightly under the rock rampart.
Yang Cheng sat cross-legged next to the bonfire with a solemn expression. His complexion looked a little more normal, not as pale as before, but still dull.
Liu Mingyu sat on a tree bark cushion and looked at the man nervously. Hsiao Chih-ching's brows were tightly furrowed, looking a little lost.
After a long time, Yang Chen opened his eyes and let out a long sigh before shaking his head.
"Is it … still not working?" Liu Mingyu asked with difficulty.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. "I can't use any True Yuan at all. My dantian feels like it's blocked by a rock. My veins are also very weak, and my body is very weak … It's like …"
"It's like I've become a normal person, right?" Hsiao Chih-ching said bitterly.
Yang Cheng bit his lips and nodded helplessly. "This Purple Butterfly Fantasy Vine … Is there really no way to cure it?"
"I don't know." Hsiao Chih-ching tried her best to recall. "I've only read a little about this poison in the Xiao Clan's books, but it's very brief.
I only know that the Purple Butterfly Fantasy Vine is a special poison refined from a poisonous insect in ancient times. The user can use their True Yuan to turn it into a poisonous mist, which will be injected into the enemy's body along with their True Yuan.
The most special thing about this poison is that it's only effective on cultivators of the same level or lower cultivation. If the opponent's True Yuan is weaker than the opponent, the poison won't be able to penetrate into the opponent's dantian.
Once you're hit by the Purple Butterfly Fantasy Vine, your dantian will be completely sealed. At the same time, the True Yuan in your limbs will be drained, and you'll be unable to use any strength.
That's why it's a very powerful poison that can control cultivators … "
"It's not that I can't lift it up. I just feel like I'm no different from an ordinary person walking on the streets." Yang Chen laughed at himself. "It's been so many years since I became an assassin. I've forgotten what it feels like to be an ordinary person … I really can't lift it up."
Hsiao Chih-ching said with tears in her eyes, "How can you still smile? Do you know that only your special body and blood can resist some of the Purple Butterfly Fantasy Vine's poison?
If it were any other cultivator, they might not even have the strength to speak!
You're lucky to be able to move and talk like an ordinary person! "
Hearing Hsiao Chih-ching's words, Liu Mingyu's eyes reddened again. Looking at the man's self-deprecating look, her heart was particularly sour.
Seeing that the two women were about to cry again, Yang Cheng quickly interrupted them and asked, "I'm asking about the solution. Really? "
Hsiao Chih-ching shook her head and gritted her teeth. "I don't know. There's no way to get rid of it in the books.
In fact, the Purple Butterfly Fantasy Vine is very rare to begin with. Since the other party could use such a precious poison passed down from ancient times to deal with you, it seems like they're very afraid of you. They're worried that something might happen, so they want to control you 100%. "
A fierce look flashed across Yang Cheng's eyes. Indeed, if it wasn't for the mysterious person who suddenly appeared, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape the fate of being captured.
Given the other party's methods and the fact that he was now an ordinary person, it was only a matter of time before he was forced to reveal his cultivation method.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be sure if the other party was Yan Wuchen from the Yan family, nor did he know who the mysterious person was.
However, he had no time to think about that now. He had actually lost his cultivation!
His strength and functions had greatly regressed to that of an ordinary person. That was the biggest grievous news!
He couldn't possibly hope that the Purple Butterfly Fantasy Vine's poison would disappear on its own. It seemed like he could only take it one step at a time. There was always a way out, and there would always be a way!
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to survive!
He had too many enemies. If he gave up now, wouldn't his family be destroyed by his enemies sooner or later?!
Moreover, if he collapsed first, how could the women support him?
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng pulled himself together again. His eyes were filled with determination. He must not collapse!
Hsiao Chih-ching had no choice. He could ask Christen and the others, or he could ask Jane to try scientific medicine. He couldn't give up when there was still hope!
Growing up in an inhumane environment and experiencing countless life and death situations, Yang Chen's greatest weapon was his indomitable will to fight with everything he had, to survive and overcome everything!
Liu Mingyu and Hsiao Chih-ching felt that Yang Cheng had suddenly condensed a strong aura. They couldn't help but hold back their tears as they looked at him in a daze.
The gloomy atmosphere from before had been swept away completely at this moment!
Yang Cheng reached out and threw some dry firewood into the bonfire. He patted the dust and said calmly, "Since we can't solve this problem for now, the first thing we have to do is to get out of here alive.
"If I still had my cultivation, Arnhem would be nothing, but now that I don't have any special abilities, it's different. We can't stay here for long.
"We have no food or communication tools, and this is a no-man's land. It's not realistic to wait for people to find us. We have to get to the northern coast as soon as possible, find a place with people, and find a way to get back.
"Although the journey will be difficult, fortunately, I still have the strength of an ordinary person. With my experience, it shouldn't be a problem to get you out of here.
"Of course, I have to apologize. It was supposed to be a relatively safe journey, but you'll have to suffer a little this time …"
"Yang Cheng … you …"
Hsiao Chih-ching was stunned. She thought that Yang Cheng, who had lost his cultivation, would be depressed for a while, even if he didn't give up.
She didn't expect this man to calm down so quickly and start to face the difficult situation!
He didn't even forget to take care of their feelings.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want me to cry and slap the ground? Let me tell you, you're not allowed to cry. As long as I'm alive, I won't give up on anything. I'll think of a way sooner or later. "Yang Cheng smiled.
Liu Mingyu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She looked at the determined man with a gentle gaze, and a sense of fulfillment and pride welled up in her.
This was the man she was willing to be a shady figure, a man she couldn't get along with day and night, but she was willing to follow him …
For a woman, a man's mediocrity wasn't scary. What was scary was losing the will to improve and persevere.
At this moment, Liu Mingyu felt that even if she died here with her man, it wouldn't be a big deal. Her emotional thinking had already made her feel satisfied.
Yang Cheng saw the two women staring at him in a daze and smiled, "Don't just stand there. Although it's very depressing, it's better to be alive than dead. Hurry up and sleep. We'll leave early tomorrow when the weather isn't hot. It'll take at least four or five days to get to the seaside. We can only continue our journey after we've rested well!"
"En."
The two women obediently agreed. Although Yang Cheng had lost his cultivation, he could still be their backbone.
The three of them had experienced such a tiring day and suffered such a heavy blow. It was already late at night and they were exhausted.
Very soon, the two women fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
Yang Cheng opened his eyes drowsily in the darkness. In his mind, other than finding a way to recover his cultivation, he was also thinking about how to wait for enemies to come knocking on his door when he returned.
But no matter how he thought about it, there wasn't a good way. He could only take it one step at a time …
