Chapter 643 Return to Star City
Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"The poisons that can be used on the soul are extremely rare. I know of three types. There is a way to prepare one or two antidote pills, but... I can't guarantee that they can be used to detoxify!"

Yan Rufeng and the others were originally at a loss, but now they were overjoyed to hear that Pu Yanlan could match two kinds of them, and they hurriedly said,
"It's always better to have something than nothing. Please ask Senior Sister Pu to make one and give it a try first..."

Pu Yanlan smiled bitterly and said,

"Everyone, this elixir must be used to cure poison. If you try it casually, it may not cure the poison, but add new poison instead!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this. After a while, Yan Rufeng gritted his teeth and said,
"In the current situation, our Tianyi Sect has been persecuted by the monk alliance. Even if we want to go out and find a great monk who can detoxify us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to invite him. Why not ask Senior Sister to give it a try!"

Having said this, he glanced at everyone and then looked at Pu Yanlan and said,
"Sister, I was the only one who insisted on this. If...if anything happens to Grand Elder Jin, Rufeng is willing to take full responsibility. Please let me go!"

After Yan Rufeng said this, the others all said,

"We discussed this matter together. We cannot let Junior Brother take on this responsibility alone. We are all willing to take responsibility. Please let Junior Brother do what he wants!"

In fact, the only surviving elder of the Tianyi Sect is Elder Jin Taishang. If anything happens to him, they will all bear the responsibility and no one can punish them!
But since everyone said so, Pu Yanlan naturally had no scruples!
After she thought about it carefully, she said to everyone,

"If that's the case, then I'd like to ask the spirit of Grand Elder Jin to speak out!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Yan Rufeng asked,
"Senior Sister, the soul of the Grand Elder is already showing signs of leaving his body and disintegrating. If we ask him to come out now, will it be possible..."

Will it be possible that it will never come back after leaving the body?

Pu Yanlan naturally knew the unspoken meaning in his words, so she responded,

"This is indeed a risky move. I heard from you earlier that the poison was administered silently and no one in Tianyi Sect noticed it. Since we cannot ask outsiders for advice, we can ask the great elder Jin to come out. Maybe he knows the origin and solution of this poison. If he knows even a little bit, I will have more confidence when I prepare the medicine!"

The experience and knowledge of this great elder are definitely not comparable to those of the younger generation. Even if his soul is already disintegrating, it is better to find out the situation while his spirit is still intact. If we delay any further, I am afraid there will be no chance in the future!

After hearing this, everyone looked solemn and lowered their heads in thought. They all knew that this was a risky gamble, but preparing the antidote by themselves was also a gamble, it was all a gamble... this one time didn't matter!

They were all cultivators, and they all knew that cultivation was a gamble with one's life, so they looked at each other and nodded. Pu Yanlan saw that everyone agreed, and said,
"That's it. Give me three days. I still need to prepare!"

Pu Yanlan did not intend to summon the soul of the Supreme Elder in this cave, but planned to go to the secret realm.
"The secret realm is another independent space, with no connection to the sky above and no connection to the ground below. Even if the soul of the Grand Elder is scattered, we can still find it in the secret realm..."

Pu Yanlan even found a soul-hiding bottle from the treasure of Jiuzhuan Zhenjun.

"I think this is what he prepared for himself to survive the catastrophe!"

This soul-hiding bottle can preserve the soul of the cultivator when the physical body is destroyed. Many cultivators will prepare it when they are going through the tribulation, because many cultivators are unwilling to accept the fact that after years of practice, they will be thrown into reincarnation and start over again if they fail to ascend. So some people have developed this kind of bottle that can hide souls. Some people will entrust their friends to protect them before they ascend. If they fail to go through the tribulation, they can use this bottle to put the cultivator's soul into it, and then dredge the underworld, so that the soul in the bottle can be smuggled into reincarnation by not drinking the Mengpo soup. After being reborn as a human being, they will retain the memory of their previous life!

Gu Shiyi asked,
"Then was the reason why True Lord Jiuzhuan wrote to his friend?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and shook her head.
“I’m afraid that’s not necessarily the case. I feel that since True Lord Jiuzhuan is only one step away from ascending to heaven, he is most likely unwilling to reincarnate and cultivate again…”

The road of cultivation is so difficult, every step is like walking on the edge of an abyss, living another life may not lead to the current achievements, Pu Yanlan guessed,
"The person who received the letter is most likely the same as you, with something special about his body. I think it's more likely that he tricked his friend into giving him his body!"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while,
"It's really possible!"

However, True Lord Jiuzhuan naturally did not expect that the good friend he wanted to trick would die not long after receiving the letter. In the end, it was the descendants of this friend who brought Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan to send him away!
Is this considered self-inflicted?

Three days later, Pu Yanlan was ready. She asked her fellow disciples to stay away from the place and asked Gu Shiyi to protect her. She then opened the secret realm and walked in with the ice coffin containing Elder Jin Taishang.

Now there is only the dragon soul in the secret realm. Pu Yanlan chose an empty palace and summoned Hongyi out.
"Take your little devils and surround this palace on all sides. Don't let a single soul escape!"

"Yes!"

The man in red took the order and left. Pu Yanlan then walked to the ice coffin. Because the soul of Grand Elder Jin had already shown signs of disintegration, she did not even let the dragon soul in. She was afraid that his aura was too strong and would disperse the soul of the Grand Elder!

Pu Yanlan stood in front of the ice coffin and waved her hand. The windows and doors on all sides were tightly closed. She looked down at the ice coffin and gently stroked the talisman on it with her hand. Spiritual power poured into her palm, "Buzz..."

The ice coffin made a low hum, and then slowly opened...

Pu Yanlan stayed in the secret realm for four hours. When she came out with the ice coffin, she looked pale and exhausted. Gu Shiyi asked hurriedly,

"how's it going?"

Pu Yanlan let out a long breath and nodded.
"As expected of a great elder, the soul of a high-ranking cultivator is indeed powerful. Although it is disintegrating, when I summoned him out, he was in a clear mind and I didn't have to spend much effort..."

However, after Supreme Elder Jin finished speaking, his soul suddenly scattered. Fortunately, Pu Yanlan was well prepared and sent Hongyi and others to guard outside the hall. After collecting the souls, she re-condensed the soul of the Supreme Elder, but it took her a lot of energy and spiritual power!

"Did he tell me how to cure this poison?"

Pu Yanlan looked solemn,
"After finding out he was poisoned, Grand Elder Jin also tried to find a way to detoxify himself. After trying several methods, he realized that... this poison must have been lost on this continent many years ago, so it most likely came from the opposite continent!"

"The opposite continent... Are you saying that... someone in this monk alliance is colluding with the opposite side?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"The Grand Elder probably meant the people from the Zhengyuan Sect!"

Fortunately, she thought of summoning the soul of the Supreme Elder to ask first. The three types she knew were only available on this continent. If she tried the medicine rashly, it would be poison upon poison!
"Then...did the old man tell me how to detoxify?"

Pu Yanlan looked solemn.
"He said that the poison must have been obtained by the traitor from the Zhengyuan Sect. If we want to detoxify it, we can only go to the Zhengyuan Sect!"

Zhengyuan Sect?
Gu Shiyi frowned and took a look at the ice coffin. Only then did he realize that there was an extra bead on the forehead of Grand Elder Jin.
"Isn't this your Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul Pearl?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"The soul of the Grand Elder has already left his body once, and it will be even more unstable when it returns. Fortunately, this bead has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and soul. As long as it is here, it can keep the soul of the Grand Elder stable!"

After Pu Yanlan went out, she told Yan Rufeng and others what she had learned from the Supreme Elder Jin, and then said,
"I plan to leave this place and go to Zhengyuan Sect to find an antidote!"

Of course, there is also the traitor Zheng Gang, she can't let him go!

Yan Rufeng and others heard this and said,

"I am willing to go with you and help Senior Sister get rid of that traitor!"

"I'm willing to lend a helping hand to Junior Sister!"

Pu Yanlan looked at everyone and shook her head slowly.
"Now that Tianyi Sect has just gained a firm foothold, the younger generations below still need your guidance. Although it is important to eliminate the traitors and save Grand Elder Jin, Tianyi Sect needs you to guard here. Since only Fellow Daoist Gu and I are going together, it is less likely to arouse suspicion!"

Pu Yanlan was afraid that they would insist, so she added,

"The soul of Grand Elder Jin is being suppressed by my Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul Pearl, but it still needs to be guarded day and night, and spiritual power needs to be infused every four hours. Several brothers and junior brothers need to guard it here!"

Pu Yanlan used all her persuasion to pacify everyone. She also left a jade pendant with each of them so that they could pass on information to each other. Three days later, she left the cave at the bottom of the lake with Gu Shiyi.

After the two of them left the snowy plain, they rushed to Wenxing City. The foxes in Wenxing City had long been bored with staying in the farm, so they were naturally very happy to see the two of them.

"Gu Shiyi, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, we would have gone to Nuanhu to look for you!"

The king rushed over to Gu Shiyi when he saw him.
"Gu Shiyi, were you having too much fun outside and forgot about us?"

Gu Shiyi laughed and picked up the king with one hand.

"Who said that... It's freezing cold there, what's fun in there?"

Fox, on the other hand, started talking to Pu Yanlan about what was happening in the city.
"...Several waves of people came and went, all of them were looking for the Tianyi Sect. One time, I transformed into a waiter in the inn and listened to their conversation in the middle of the night. They said they were from some sect and had been looking for the Tianyi Sect. They also secretly issued a reward, saying that whoever found the Tianyi Sect would be rewarded with three mid-grade spirit stones!"
