Chapter 485 Ye Jie - Red Refining Poison
The rising pain in his abdomen immediately sent an extremely unfavorable signal to Ye Jie.

"Oh no, it's poisonous... It's the Forgotten River Yin just now."

After some thought, Ye Jie figured out what had happened. There must be something wrong with the tea he had just drunk.

It turned out that ever since he arrived in Chilin City, he had fallen into the scheme of Elder Mo Wen. From the very beginning, that elder had no intention of negotiating with Ye Jie, but was determined to kill him here.

Seeing Ye Jie's unbearable expression, as if he was in endless pain and struggle, Elder Mo Wen also sneered:

"Master Ziwei, I advise you not to waste your energy. The Forgotten River has been mixed with the red poison carefully brewed by the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. Not to mention you, even those immortals of the fourth or fifth level will suffer a great sin if they drink it. If you dare to obstruct the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the only thing waiting for you is death!"

Ye Jie's face tightened. He now understood what Shen Qingge meant when she reminded him to be careful of the elders of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. Judging from the vengeful nature of the people in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, they would definitely not let Ye Jie go so easily after suffering such a great loss at the hands of the Golden Silk Phoebe King.

"So what if it's snake venom? Transform into a dragon!"

Feeling the hostility from the elder, Ye Jie didn't bother to be polite with him. He immediately activated his strongest skill, the Hongmeng level Dragon Transformation. His body suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a huge five-clawed dragon hundreds of feet long. Even the exquisite pavilions around the Immortal Mansion were knocked down by him. The originally magnificent buildings turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.

Ye Jie didn't feel the slightest bit sorry about this, because all the immortal palaces here belonged to the enemy, and he wished he could destroy them all.

Soon, a scene that made Ye Jie break out in a cold sweat occurred. Although he had transformed into a divine dragon, the snake venom in his body was still like a thorn in the flesh and could not be removed. It became more and more severe, and as he practiced his skills, the venom spread throughout his body, making the situation worse.

Faced with Ye Jie who was using all his strength to perform his martial arts, Elder Mo Wen slowly retreated with a calm look in his eyes. He was in no hurry to attack. Instead, he was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, and would not appear from a safe place until his prey had completely lost its strength.

"It's useless. Once you've been poisoned by the Red Refining Poison, even an Immortal Venerable can't save you. All your struggles are in vain. On the contrary, the Red Refining Poison will continue to devour the Immortal Essence in your body to strengthen itself. All your efforts will in turn become its strength."

Elder Mo Wen's eyes were cold. He felt a strong threat from Ye Jie. If they fought head-on, it was still unknown who would win.

But no matter how powerful the dragon is, in his eyes, it is just a dying creature. No immortal can escape from the red poison, not even the Lord of Yama Palace.

"Oops……"

The struggle was in vain. Even with the power of the Divine Dragon Transformation, the Red Refining Poison could not be expelled. Ye Jie also felt that the situation was tricky, and cold sweat continued to seep out of his forehead.

Under the erosion of the Red Refining Poison, his dragon body was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, like a big tree that had been eaten away by termites. The inside was already full of holes. According to the erosion rate of the Red Refining Poison, in less than a cup of tea, he would completely lose his strength and become a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered at will.

The attempt was fruitless. The immortal energy stimulated by the Divine Dragon Transformation instead became a breeding ground for the Red Refining Poison. After realizing this, Ye Jie simply gave up on the Divine Dragon Transformation and restored his body to its original shape.

"Have you given up? Palace Master Ziwei, your head is my gift to the Snake Envoy!" Elder Mo Wen laughed loudly.

"It's too early for me to give up."

Ye Jie answered in a deep voice, constantly thinking of a way to break the impasse in his mind.

Facing the Red Refining Poison, the Divine Dragon Transformation is useless. However, in the Bodhi Heart Method, there is a unique method to break the law. It is a pity that it is impossible to comprehend it at the Hongmeng level. The method must be upgraded to a higher level.

The Hongmeng-level skills are unable to counter the Chilian poison. If that's the case, is there anything else that can break the impasse?

"There is..."

At this moment, Ye Jie had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly remembered something. He reached into his arms, took out a small bottle, and poured out a black ball from it.

From a distance, it looked like Ye Jie was holding a lump of coal in his hand, and even his fingers were stained black. The surface of the coal was covered with irregular cracks, and it was extremely ugly. Even the most skilled alchemist would not be able to recognize that this was actually a pill.

"According to Yao Yin, if I take this useless pill, I'm afraid I'll vomit a lot. If that's the case, maybe I can also vomit out the red refining poison..."

Ye Jie's eyes darkened, and he became more decisive in his heart.

There is not much time left before the red poison completely corrodes his body, so he can only place his hope of resistance on this useless pill.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie did not hesitate and immediately swallowed the waste pill and began to digest the medicinal power of the waste pill with his immortal essence.

Elder Mo Wen also saw Ye Jie's actions and said sarcastically: "You think you can fight against the Red Refining Poison with just a useless pill? To tell you the truth, the Red Refining Poison is so terrible that even your soul will be corroded by it. Even the detoxification pill refined by the Alchemy Saint cannot resolve it..."

Before he finished speaking, Elder Mo Wen suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. A scene that frightened him happened. He vomited uncontrollably, even the bile he had in his body was vomited out.

"Stop talking nonsense...Try the power of the alchemy boy..."

Ye Jie struggled to utter these words; his body was also in discomfort. Relying on the power of the alchemy boy, he spread the effect of the useless pill, causing Elder Mo Wen to vomit violently. He finally avenged the poisoning.

Unlike Elder Mo Wen who was vomiting non-stop, Ye Jie's body had already been mostly corroded by the Red Refining Poison. The horrible Red Refining Poison had already penetrated into his bone marrow, so it was not easy to spit it out.

Fortunately, the elixir refined by Nan Linghe was not to be underestimated. Under the erosion of the overbearing medicinal power, the red poison that had already deeply penetrated into the body was forced out again at this moment, and began to gather towards the same position, and was finally spit out by Ye Jie.

The black water fell to the ground, and even the ground was infected by the red poison, corroding a big hole. This scene made Ye Jie sweat a few drops of cold sweat.

This time, if it weren't for that useless pill that saved his life, he would have been ambushed by Elder Mo Wen and almost died on the spot.

"How is it possible... The Red Refining Poison was forced out like this. What kind of elixir did you just take?" Elder Mo Wen looked weak, and he was almost fainting from the effects of the elixir. When he saw Ye Jie standing up with his face intact, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

"It's just a useless pill."

Ye Jie's answer made Elder Mo Wen's heart tremble. He refused to believe such a thing no matter what. How could a mere useless pill restrain the strange poison of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave? If it were to be spread out, it would surely cause a continuous shock to the entire Ten Thousand Snake Cave.

Before he could think clearly, he heard a whisper in his ear, which scared him to death: "Without the Red Refining Poison, it's my turn to take action. I want to see what tricks you have left. Try this move, the dragon's tail!"

With a loud bang, the ground where Ye Jie was originally standing collapsed into pieces. Spider-web-like cracks spread and turned into deep pits covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet. The remaining force was relieved, and Ye Jie took advantage of this huge force to rush out. His right leg drew an astonishing arc in the air and slammed into the body of Elder Mo Wen with a devastating force.

Before Elder Mo Wen could use his internal energy to protect himself, he was hit by the dragon's tail. His body flew out of control like a rag doll, knocking down layers of walls behind him until he was hundreds of feet away. His momentum only stopped then. When Ye Jie chased him, he was already dead.

Taking out the eight-sided stitched pages, Ye Jie frowned at the contents on them:

"There is no record of him getting Yin De. Did he get away?"

Recalling the previous battle with the elders of Tuntian Pavilion, they had used a skill called Tengshe Chengwu. After their immortal bodies were destroyed, they relied on the sacrificed spirit snake to take over another body and be reborn.

As an elder in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, Elder Mo Wen must have learned this secret method, which is why he was able to escape the disaster.

Shaking his head, Ye Jie came here not to kill the elder of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave specifically, but for the Netherworld Soil in his hand.

Although Elder Mo Wen ran away, the underworld soil and the Beichen ice box used to store it were all kept alive. This was the purpose of Ye Jie's coming here.

Compared to this, the running away of an elder is not a big deal. If he dares to come again, Ye Jie will definitely let him know how powerful we are.

"Huh? This is..."

From the remains of Elder Mo Wen's immortal body, Ye Jie not only picked up the soil of the underworld, but also found an ancient book.

After flipping through it briefly, he found that it was a book on formations and could not be modified into his own files. Ye Jie lost interest in it, put it away, and returned to the Tianji.

"You're finally back... If you hadn't come back, we would have gone to rescue you."

When they saw Ye Jie, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Hua Xiaomei even said she wanted to go find him.

The power caused by the transformation of the divine dragon and the shock coming from the city naturally could not be concealed from everyone's perception. They all speculated whether something had happened to Ye Jie. However, remembering the instructions Ye Jie gave before he left, they still chose to believe Ye Jie and stayed on the Tianji.

"Don't worry, I not only returned safely, but I also brought back the Netherworld Soil..."

Ye Jie smiled and told everyone everything that had happened before. Everyone understood what had happened and there were exclamations of surprise for a while.

"I didn't expect this journey to be so dangerous. The people in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave should not be underestimated." Xie Xinyu sighed. She thought that with Ye Jie's skills, few people could threaten him.

"Luckily he ran fast, otherwise I would have learned a few tricks from him." Li Ba was indignant and wanted to settle the score with Elder Mo Wen right away.

Su Miao's eyes were dull, and she refused to believe it.
"You mean, you got rid of the Red Refining Poison by relying on the waste pill refined by Miss He? How is that possible? The name of this Red Refining Poison is well-known among the immortals. Even I have heard of it. Any immortal who knows about this poison will stay away from anything in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. How could you get rid of it?"

Ye Jie smiled, and his eyes fell on the confused Nan Linghe who was standing beside him. She looked up, staring at the flying ghost butterfly above in a daze:
"I think it must be Nan Linghe who passed on her good luck to me. If it weren't for her, this trip would have been a life-or-death struggle."

When he heard Ye Jie mention him, Nan Linghe finally stopped being in a daze and smiled at him calmly, with full trust in his eyes.

Yao Yin also glanced over and said with emotion: "Rather than saying it's good luck, it's better to say that it's your trust in her. Even if an ordinary person got that useless pill, they would definitely throw it away like garbage without a second thought and would never think of keeping it. But not only did you keep it, you also dared to use it in a critical moment. You are the strange one."

"Really..." Ye Jie scratched his head, but he didn't think it was strange. "This is the elixir that Nan Linghe made for me. How can I just throw it away? Of course I have to treasure it."

Yao Yin remained silent. A saint of alchemy like her would probably never understand why Ye Jie regarded a waste pill as a treasure and was actually saved by that waste pill.

At this time, Shen Qingge, who had not shown up for a long time, also came over, glanced at Ye Jie inconspicuously, and said:

"The people in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave are always so insidious and cunning. Ah Jie, you should be more cautious. How could you drink the tea he prepared?"

Influenced by Li Fei'e's departure, Shen Qingge often fell into inexplicable loss. Ye Jie comforted her for a long time, which made her look better. Now, her complexion has recovered a lot.

Ye Jie nodded: "Qingge is right. I was careless this time, but the result is still good."

Ren Changhong didn't think so: "This is just a temporary result. You should understand the principle of hitting the snake better than me. The elder will definitely be resentful and launch a series of revenge. We must be careful in the future."

Ye Jie sighed: "Speaking of which, this Teng Snake Riding the Mist technique is indeed unique. After the immortal body is destroyed, it can still take over another body and be reborn. Even ordinary immortals cannot do this. Is there no way to destroy his soul as well and not give him any chance to escape?"

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion, not knowing what that technique was. Yao Yin spoke softly:
"According to the records in the sect's classics, Lady Xuannv controls a unique kind of heavenly thunder, called the Soul-Destroying Tribulation. Once a person's body is struck by the Soul-Destroying Tribulation, no matter where the soul is, no matter how many incarnations it has, even if the soul has already been reincarnated, it will turn into ashes in an instant, and there will be no possibility of escape."

Ye Jie's eyes flickered. From Yao Yin's words, he could feel how powerful the magic was. He vaguely remembered that when Xia Wei was fighting against the incarnation of Xuannv, the incarnation of Xuannv had displayed the power of the Soul-Destroying Tribulation.
