Chapter 1899 358: The Small Fishing Village

The Sect Leader of Hengyue Sect was very curious about who saved him. So he turned his head to look, and when he saw it was Lin Yifan, he exclaimed in surprise, "It's you? Didn't you say the antidote was refined this way? How can you save me, but my junior brother cannot?"

"Because I used two Fire Spirit Ganoderma," Lin Yifan replied.

In fact, he didn't even use half a piece; it was all because the alchemy technique of the Hengyue Sect's Alchemy Elder was too poor, and they didn't have the proper antidote refinement formula.

"It seems to truly be a matter of quantity!" The elder of Hengyue Sect said, half-believing, then gratefully added, "Thank you, young brother, for your righteous rescue."

"No need to thank me, I was just doing my job after getting paid," Lin Yifan replied. Then he asked the elders of Hengyue Sect, "Now that your Sect Leader is healed, can I leave?"

"We still haven't finished checking, you can leave after we confirm everything," the elder replied.

"Then hurry up!"

Lin Yifan was a bit impatient because his time was precious, and he didn't want to waste his youth staying here.

The Alchemy Elder didn't waste any time and immediately checked the Sect Leader's body.

After checking, he found no traces of Cold Frost Poison, which astonished him.

"Could it really be a matter of quantity?"

Half-believing, he asked, "Senior Brother Sect Leader, how do you feel now? Is there still Cold Frost Poison in your body?"

The Sect Leader of Hengyue Sect checked himself from head to toe and found no remnants of Cold Frost Poison, which made him ecstatic: "Junior brother, it's gone, it's really gone!"

"Really?"

At this moment, the elders of Hengyue Sect were beaming with joy, pleasantly surprised.

"Yes!"

The Sect Leader of Hengyue Sect nodded, affirming confidently.

Even the person concerned admitted it himself, so the elders had no doubt and believed it.

"Since it's confirmed that there's no problem, I'll take my leave then," Lin Yifan said.

"Young brother, won't you stay at Hengyue Sect for a few more days? I would like to repay your kindness," the Sect Leader asked.

He was truly grateful to Lin Yifan because he was pulled back from the brink of death thanks to Lin Yifan's divine pill.

"No need, my time is tight, it's not suitable for me to stay long," Lin Yifan replied.

"Alright then, I wish you a smooth journey."

The Sect Leader of Hengyue Sect didn't insist, understanding that Lin Yifan might really have urgent matters to attend to.

As they watched Lin Yifan's departing figure, a few elders were unwilling to let it go.

Because that young man had obtained the Immortal Emperor's Inheritance, he had to be eliminated.

They immediately conspired with the Sect Leader and other elders, debating whether to secretly kill Lin Yifan on the way.

"This person is not simple. If the attempt fails, the entire Hengyue Sect will be implicated. We should act with kindness," the Sect Leader, having just returned from near death, didn't want to take this risk.

The other elders also thought it was risky and not wise to act rashly.

Lin Yifan said he came alone, but whether he had brothers or companions outside Hengyue Sect was unknown.

It would be troublesome if the Third Prince of the Kingdom of Leizhen or that Moon God Lord were also present.

...

After leaving Hengyue Sect, Lin Yifan entered the mountains to cultivate.

More than a month later, while grilling fish by a river, he sensed something amiss.

The fish in this river could invigorate the mind. After eating the fish, Lin Yifan felt a surge of energy and clarity.

These were very ordinary fish, which he had eaten before, but they had never been so strange as today.

He felt there was something wrong with the river, possibly containing treasures, so he dived into the riverbed to search.

After swimming up and down over ten kilometers, he found nothing.

However, he was certain that these "strange fish" must have come from upstream because a few kilometers ahead, he encountered a waterfall several dozen meters high; the fish above the waterfall had the same effect.

Not wasting any time, he quickly went upstream to investigate.

As he swam, suddenly, he discovered a small fishing village.

The small village was bustling with people coming and going. Perhaps these people who lived by fishing knew something, so he flew ashore, intending to enter the village to investigate.

Following the mountain path down, he entered the fishing village.

Shortly after entering, he smelled the scent of salted fish.

Looking around, there was salted fish everywhere; it truly was a small fishing village that lived off fishing.

Surveying the terrain and landscape closely, he noticed that the surrounding peaks were gloomy and emitted a sinister aura.

The cliffs were bizarrely shaped, some resembling fierce ghosts with hideous faces; others like monstrous creatures, with heads like humans and tails like snakes.

Suddenly, he saw two giant rocks on a mountain opposite the village.

These two rocks seemed like eyes, with a glow emanating from them.

"What the hell is that?"

Looking at this strange phenomenon, Lin Yifan couldn't help but shiver.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, but the phenomenon was gone, as if it never existed.

"Was it a hallucination?" Lin Yifan murmured to himself, quickly dismissing it and walking straight ahead.

"Jinx!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

Immediately, there was a commotion. All the busy villagers quickly rushed back to their homes, closing doors and windows tightly, leaving no gaps.

Lin Yifan scratched his head, bewildered, not knowing what had happened, unable to understand why the villagers were so terrified.

"Did I get dark again?"

Perplexed, he took a mirror from the Immortal Ring and looked at himself, finding everything normal.

"No, I'm still as handsome and charming as ever; why do these villagers call me a jinx?"

Lin Yifan was puzzled.

Putting away the mirror, he ambled over to a household's door, gently knocking and politely asking, "Brother, could you tell me why you're so afraid of me?"

Inside, the person was breathing heavily, extremely fearful, too tense to speak.

Hearing the rapid breath, Lin Yifan realized he wouldn't get a clear answer, so he moved to the next house to continue inquiring.

This household wasn't as tense as the previous one, but their tone was not friendly: "Leave quickly, get away from my door, don't bring trouble to us."

"Trouble? What trouble?" Lin Yifan was full of doubt, not understanding the situation.

But this household made no further sound. Helplessly, he continued walking through the village, seeking someone who could answer his questions.

Soon, he noticed a distinctive house on a cliff above.

This house was situated above the village, with a bright and luxurious facade, appearing somewhat extravagant.

Clearly, this must be the house of the village chief or a Cultivator; otherwise, it wouldn't be adorned so beautifully.
