Poison masters were a familiar cultivators to everyone on this continent, and the catastrophe of three hundred years ago was still fresh in people's minds.
At that time, a generational Poison King suddenly appeared. He showed great strength as soon as he appeared. He fought against the current head of the Samsara Family and fought to a draw with him with his strange poison skills.
Feeling humiliated, the Samsara Master dispatched the ultimate technique of the Samsara Clan to kill the man, but accidentally injured his wife, causing her to die prematurely.
The poison master at that time went mad, his eyes bloodshot, and a towering black mist swept across the land, obscuring half of the continent's sky.
In that battle, the entire Samsara Clan was nearly wiped out. His bizarre and unparalleled poison skills made him fearless in group battles. Wherever he went, nothing grew. He nearly turned the Samsara Clan upside down. And he was just one person!
The terrifying power of a poison master was evident. It took the combined efforts of all ten elders of the Samsara Clan, using the Samsara Sword Formation, to barely kill him. Even so, three of the ten elders were heavily poisoned and soon perished as well. The price paid was undeniably heavy.
Three hundred years later, poison masters have reappeared, and who knew how much bloodshed they would bring this time. That terrifying title, that bizarre poison technique that is impossible for anyone to guard against—a chill ran straight to the head and down to the toes.
Inside the Samsara Branch, seeing Layun lying on the ground and looking at her current state, Lakun's face instantly turned ashen. His whole body was red, and a burnt smell emanated from his body. His face showed a trace of pain. "How could this happen? How could this happen? Is the heavens trying to kill me? Why?"
Everyone gathered around, and looking at the young lady's appearance, everyone frowned. Some of them recognized this strange poison and were horrified, as if they had seen a ghost. They all took dozens of steps back.
Looking at everyone's reaction, Lakun smiled bitterly and said, "It's the Seven-Colored Soul-Chasing Powder, which is incurable! Is the heavens trying to destroy me?"
A tear actually appeared on Lakun's face, which was simply unbelievable to everyone!
Especially Linfen, seeing Lakun's slightly red eyes, his hostility towards him immediately lessened a lot. After all, he was still a father who loved his daughter.
Moreover, for Linfen, seeing Layun in this state caused him inexplicable panic. It felt as if a needle was slowly piercing his heart, and the feeling of bleeding filled his body and mind. If it weren't for so many people watching, he would have already shed tears.
"Patriarch, could you tell us about the Seven-Colored Soul-Chasing Powder?" Surprisingly, Yana also chimed in at this moment. Looking at Yana, a hint of sadness appeared in Lakun's eyes.
"The Seven-Colored Soul-Chasing Powder is the infamous poison of that cultivator three hundred years ago. Within three months of being poisoned, the body of the victim will turn into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and purple. After that, the soul will dissipate, and the victim will die. Those three elders three hundred years ago were poisoned by this kind of poison, but unfortunately, there is no cure!"
"Patriarch, is it truly beyond cure?" Linfen, disregarding everything else, asked.
Lakun glanced at Linfen indifferently, no longer caring about such matters. Lakun seemed to have aged considerably in an instant. “There is absolutely no such cure in the known areas on the mainland!”
Linfen understood Lakun's implied meaning and immediately said, "Then there must be places unknown on the continent! No matter where, even if it's a mountain of death or a sea of fire, I will go there, just to repay her for saving my life."
Lakun took a deep breath and said, "It's uncertain. Legend has it that the Soul-Returning Grass in the Soul-Refining Cave of the Five Caves and Four Grottoes can cure the Seven-Colored Soul-Chasing Powder, but unfortunately no one has ever succeeded."
"The Five Caves and Four Grottoes?"
"That eerie place, regardless of strength, relied entirely on the power of the soul to endure the torment of shattered souls, the agony of being torn apart is unbearable, it can be said to be a place where there is no chance of survival! " At this point, Lakun's voice choked up.
Linfen was completely shocked. It was actually the Soul Refining Cave, a forbidden and dangerous place that Gaiyu had repeatedly warned him against entering without permission!
But when Linfen thought of Layun's voice and smile, her blue dress, and her occasional concern, and when he thought that she was about to leave him like this, his heart felt as if it was shattered.
Without further hesitation, Linfen said to Lakun, "Patriarch, I'm going to the Soul Refining Cave. Even if I die, I can't blame anyone else. My life was saved by Sister Yuna, so if I unfortunately die this time, it's my own fault."
"You?" Looking at the resolute Linfen before him, Lakun's heart was moved for the first time, trembling slightly.
"After how I treated you, you're still willing to risk your life for Yuna? You should know that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you. You could have used this opportunity to get away from this and shed your so-called bodyguard identity."
“I don’t know. I only know that she saved my life. Now that she is in this kind of situation, what does it matter if I give my life for her again? This is something I must do.”
Listening to Linfen's words, Lakun seemed to see his younger self. At that moment, in the Samsara Clan, for the sake of the woman in his heart, he fought his way in and out of the encirclement of hundreds of clansmen three times, so heroic and soaring. Unfortunately, now he was old and no longer had the courage of his youth. He had made too many mistakes, and in the end, he would have to pay for them.
"Alright then! Go ahead! The Soul Refining Cave is about thirty kilometers from here. Head towards the central region. Remember, you only have three months. If you bring back the Resurrection Grass after three months, it will be useless, because by then, she will already be..."
With a heavy expression, Linfen suddenly felt a lot of pressure. That place was not a matter of strength; it tested a person's soul power and willpower. Even a powerful person might not be able to do better than an ordinary person.
At this moment, Linfen glanced at Layun. Her pretty face had turned bright red, and she was radiating an aura of anxiety. Her blue robe was soaked with sweat.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, not daring to linger for even a moment longer, he bid farewell to the family head and turned to leave. At this moment, Xi Chen followed closely behind Linfen.
"Lichen, what are you doing? Go back!"
"Brother Linfen, I want to go too!" LIchen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Linfen's expression changed, and he shouted, "No, I can't assure even saving myself, not to talk of you too."
But Lichen's expression was resolute.
Seeing her like this, Linfen's heart sank. He thought to himself, "This little girl is determined to follow me this time, but it's too dangerous."
"Lichen, come back! You won't be of any help if you follow him." Just as Linfen was at a loss for what to do, Lakun said quietly.
“But…” Lichen stamped her foot anxiously.
"Are you not even listening to me anymore?" Lakun asked sternly.
Lichen was startled and said, "Alright then! But Brother Linfen, you must come back soon. I will be waiting for you!"
Linfen patted Lichen's head and smiled. Then he turned his gaze to Yana, his eyes filled with a hint of hostility. Then he turned around and sped away down the main road ahead.
After Linfen left, Lakun's expression turned solemn again. He looked at Yana and said, "Lord Yana, could you please help me go back to main family house and ask if there is any antidote for the Seven-Colored Soul-Chasing Powder? My daughter's life is at stake here."
Yana glanced at Lakun indifferently, a cold smile playing on his lips, but still said, "If you want me to go back to the main family to bring back medicinal herbs, I have one condition. If you can agree to that, I will do it."
"What are the conditions?"
"I am 14 years old this year, and your daughter is the same age. I want you to marry Layun to me in three years!"
"What kind of condition is that? You and my daughter are still so young, and three years is a long way off..."
"If you don't agree, then forget it. It saves me the trouble of making that trip, and it's not a short journey! It's much better to stay here. Anyway, your daughter's life or death is none of my business."
"But why?"
"That's none of your business. Just tell me whether you agree or not!" Yana said aggressively.
Cold sweat broke out on Lakun's face. This cloud demon was not old, but his aura of authority was truly formidable.
"Alright, I agree. If my daughter survives this ordeal, I'll grant you this condition!" Lakun said through gritted teeth. He figured it was better to entrust his daughter's life to Yana than to that lowly guard whose chances of success were slim.
Lakun seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, his body suddenly hunched over. Even though he was a peak Awakening Realm expert, he looked so lonely and desolate. His rebellious son's words still echoed in his ears: "The day we meet again will be the day you die!"
With a heavy sigh, he picked up his daughter and walked into the inner room.
**?
Linfen was rushing towards his destination. Three months was a tight timeframe, and he couldn't afford to waste a single moment. Layun could have an accident at any time, and he didn't want to go back to find her dead.
The image of Layun in the flowing green robe reappeared before his eyes, her charming smile carrying a touch of playfulness and cuteness. Shaking his head, he looked ahead and saw smoke and dust filling the sky.
Against the backdrop of the sunset, the scene ahead appeared unusually chaotic. A burst of shouts of battle made Linfen's brows furrow tightly instantly.

40. The Golden Alchemist [II]
"Alas, it seems you are just like that man. I see his former glory in you, except that he used a knife, while you use a sword, that's all!" The man in black couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of that man, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. He was a genius who achieved the Great Demon True Body, but in the end, his fate was unknown. "I can perfect this Seven Deadly Swords for you, only if you promise me that from now on you will not kill the innocent indiscriminately, and that you will handle all matters with an upright heart. The sword is the chameleon among weapons; if the heart is upright, then it is upright. If the heart is corrupted by demonic influence, it will be a disaster for the world," The man said very seriously. "I will keep your words in mind, senior. I promise." The man took the Seven Absolute Sword from Linfen and placed it horizontally on the table. He then began to form hand seals, and one after another, profound and mysterious incantations appeared from his
39. The Golden Alchemist [I]
Cultivating after pushing one's limits always yielded twice the results with half the effort. A slight smile appeared on Linfen's lips. As he continued to cultivate, because the second meridian, the breast meridian, was blocked, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could not enter. Therefore, he continuously cleansed and expanded the meridians that were already open throughout his body. Linfen's first meridian was now more than twice the size of an average person's, which was why he possessed such astonishing mental power—all thanks to the continuous expansion of his meridians. Now, as soon as the blockage in his breast meridian was removed, he could immediately enter the second meridian's opening stage, the best proof of his diligent practice. Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes, which flashed with a dazzling light. The intense cultivation after pushing himself to the limit left him feeling refreshed and invigorated. The surging spiritual energy also made him gasp in s
38. The Heavenly Cliff
Linfen simply laughed off the rumors. Having already survived the near-death experience in the Soul Refining Cave, such danger seemed trivial to him. He arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Cliff, his eyes slightly narrowed. Yellow sand filled the sky, and the swirling sand and stones moved at high speed under the influence of the whirlwind. From a distance, the bottom of the cliff looked like a yellow circle enveloping the Heavenly Cliff, revealing only a sliver of clarity on the top, shrouded in mist, creating a feeling that was both hellish and heavenly. Linfen took a deep breath, unleashing the full power of his Entangling Technique. Silvery-white mental energy slowly enveloped his entire body as he walked step by step towards the Heavenly Cliff. A powerful impact slammed into Linfen's protective aura, creating ripples. Even with his mental energy pushed to its limit, some sand and gravel still managed to penetrate his defenses, striking his body and causing sharp pain. Linf
37. Until We Meet Again
The surroundings became completely empty, with dazzling swords stuck diagonally in the ground, endless sword intent surging and churning. In the name of the swords' lament, Linfen slowly stood up, bowed deeply to all the swords, and then looked at the Seven Absolutes in his hand with a dazed gaze, sighing inwardly. "Hey, Xiao Luo, why are you sighing like that? Shouldn't you be happy?" Xin asked, puzzled. "The sword is indeed wonderful, but it also brings me immense pressure. Only by constantly strengthening myself can I prevent the sword from becoming tarnished. But only I know my own situation: my eight meridians are blocked, and my energy gates are difficult to open. I don't know when I'll be able to enter the next realm!" Xin smiled calmly. "I thought you want to talk about something else. Oh, so this is what you mean. Whatever, as long as you stick to your own ideas, that's all that matters. We only live once, so as long as we're happy and have a clear conscience, why bother
36. Birth of the King of Swords
Amidst the overgrown weeds, Xin trudged through the mud scattered on his body, his eyes blazing as he surveyed the surroundings. He spat out a mouthful of weeds and cursed at the air around him."Damn it, which shameless scoundrel dared to launch a sneak attack? If I find out who it is, I will definitely not let him get away with it!" Falling from such a height, even with Xin's physique and cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a surge of blood and energy. Although he wasn't injured, he was still in a sorry state."Could it be that kid Linfen? No, impossible. The Seven Absolute Sword Formation isn't that easy to break. He should still be fighting inside right now. He can't possibly be out now. It's definitely not that kid." Xin said as he walked, and then headed towards the cave entrance. "But it's been so long, could something have happened? No, I still have to go in and check." As Linfen saw Xin Zheng walking towards him step by step, he lightly shook his right hand, and the sword
35. Reforging The Seven Absolute Sword
Linfen was pulled along by Xin, turning countless corners until he was almost out of breath. He stared intently at Xin, looking at his nonchalant demeanor, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. Up until now, it seemed that Xin and the others had forgotten to give him a bowl of water, and just kept leading him around aimlessly. However, Linfen was soon overwhelmed by the excitement of him about to obtain the real sword. The area was overgrown with weeds, resembling a forest where the tall grass seemed to bury them. Linfen and Xin arrived here, panting, and began to move forward step by step through the overgrown wilderness. "Hey Xin, how much longer until we get there! We've been walking for over an hour, when will this ever end!" "Almost there, almost there." Xin said nonchalantly, as if the distance wasn't far at all. Linfen couldn't help but grumble inwardly, but he didn't slow down at all, keeping close behind Xin. Pushing through the weeds, a small cave entrance ca
