Chapter 292: Chapter 289: The Detoxification Ability of Green Jade Spiritual Power

"Dare to foil my plans, you’re courting death!"

As the angry shout rose, the Sword Gang silently pierced toward the vital point on Ye Zhen’s back.

When Ye Zhen realized he was being attacked from behind, his expression first turned sharp, not showing any panic but instead revealing a sneer.

"Idiot!"

The face of the attacker hidden in the clouds immediately showed a hint of anger.

"Die!"

The next moment, the Sword Gang viciously stabbed at the vital spot on Ye Zhen’s back, or more precisely, it stabbed at the Green Jade Spirit Armor that covered Ye Zhen’s back.

Clang!

It sounded like a knife hitting a steel armor, producing a crisp clang, and the Sword Gang that attacked Ye Zhen shattered inch by inch, exploding and sending out a shockwave that completely dispersed the clouds, exposing a middle-aged martial artist with a face full of surprise.

Ye Zhen’s Green Jade Spirit Armor also cracked, nearly shattering.

"How is this possible?"

A voice of disbelief echoed from the clouds.

Ye Zhen took a deep breath as a modest amount of Green Jade Spiritual Power surged from his Dantian, instantly repairing the cracked Green Jade Spirit Armor; almost at the same time, Ye Zhen turned around like a whirlwind.

The attacker that had just revealed himself had already vanished, a stream of green light speeding away into the distance and completely disappearing from Ye Zhen’s sight after a few moments.

"This attacker, he is indeed a character..."

Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense relaxed, and the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub in his arms also eased from its combat-ready state.

From the beginning of his battle with Overturning Sea Great Sage, Ye Zhen had been covered in Green Jade Spirit Armor, his most crucial lifeline at present. Coupled with the not-well-known Black Wind Medium-Grade Armor he wore inside, Ye Zhen believed that even a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse couldn’t kill him with one strike.

Therefore, in Ye Zhen’s view, the person who attacked him, he was that kind of person...

However, the attacker was also a decisive killer. Missing with one strike, he immediately fled a great distance. Of course, the primary reason was that the attack didn’t even break Ye Zhen’s Protective Spirit Force.

At that moment, aside from the minute Spiritual Power produced by the Spiritual Power Seed, Ye Zhen’s Dantian was nearly depleted of power, his only counterattack option was the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

Unexpectedly, that guy actually ran away.

"A Fifth Stage Spirit Transformation Realm guy... saying I spoiled his grand plan, so was he the one who sabotaged the waterway markers in that area too?"

"Maybe, this attacker is Yu Ning’s uncle..."

After swallowing a Nine-Transition Soul Restoration Pill, and as his Spiritual Power rapidly recovered, Ye Zhen dashed out, chasing towards the direction where the large ship had vanished.

As he flew, Ye Zhen noticed that Overturning Sea Great Sage had turned the waters around him upside down, creating huge muddy waves, purely as a vent, not pursuing further.

After rushing through the sky for half an hour, Ye Zhen met Uncle Liu who had come to rendezvous with him; they had some consideration, and within 15 minutes, Ye Zhen and Uncle Liu caught up with the rapidly-returning large ship.

At the stern of the large ship, Yu Ning was standing with a young lady, both looking up at the sky with their heads high.

When Ye Zhen appeared above the large ship, the young lady’s eyes suddenly gleamed brightly.

"Brother Zheng, how are you, are you alright?"

"No!"

Ye Zhen slowly shook his head, "Yu Ning, what is your uncle’s cultivation level, is it the Fifth Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm?"

"Yes, Brother Zheng, my uncle is indeed at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, how did you know?"

"Hero Zheng, you were attacked by..." Uncle Liu’s expression changed again.

"Arrange a quiet room for me." Ye Zhen didn’t answer Uncle Liu’s question, but the answer was quite clear.

"Brother Zheng, are you hurt? I have here some Jade Spirit Pills secretly produced by our Yu Family, very effective for healing wounds." Yu Ning and the young lady behind Uncle Liu squeezed forward, their slender palms offering a bottle of Healing Pills.

"No need, thank you, I am not injured, just overly depleted of my cultivation."

As Ye Zhen rejected her, especially feeling that Ye Zhen’s gaze almost didn’t linger on her, the young lady’s eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

When Ye Zhen entered the cabin, several old men suddenly knelt down with a group of sailors in a flurry.

"Old Master and others thank the hero for saving our lives; your life-saving grace, we will never forget!"

The old ship master, with sailors who could spare their hands, knelt down in unison to Ye Zhen, somewhat dumbfounding him.

Actually, whether these people thanked him or not, Ye Zhen didn’t mind; he had acted merely out of his own conscience, but their thanks still warmed Ye Zhen’s heart.

There are still many people with conscience.

When the Green Jade Spiritual Power in Ye Zhen’s Dantian was completely restored, the sky had already turned completely dark. Ye Zhen stepped out of the cabin, only to find Yu Ning, Second Lady of Yu Family, Uncle Liu, and others all quietly awaiting his return.

According to a talkative Yu Family tributor, they had been waiting for Ye Zhen for nearly two hours because Ye Zhen had not come out and they did not dare to disturb him.

Regardless of the location, night comes with the most frequent demon beast activity, including in these waters. Moreover, at night, the particular scent emitted by the Jade Heart Grass dwindles significantly, increasing the probability of demon beasts appearing near the navigation route by hundreds of times.

Therefore, at night, it is forbidden to sail on Jade Water Lake.

They could only dock early at a supply island named Yu’er island, which, thanks to the generations of management by the Yu Family, boasted a fairly decent environment.

When Ye Zhen stepped onto the island, the unique delicacies of Jade Water Lake were already being served in rapid succession.

"Brother Zheng, try this. This is our Jade Water Lake’s special, Jade Tail Shrimp, which is exceptionally tender."

"Brother Zheng, try this. This is our Jade Water Lake’s special, Crystal Heart Fish. Besides being delicious, regularly eating Crystal Heart Fish can also calm the spirit and augment the soul, making it a staple for the martial artists in the vicinity of our lake."

"Brother Zheng, you must try this lake fresh soup. It’s uniquely made by our chief with lake delicacies and spirit fruits. Here, let me serve you a bowl!"

At the banquet, the Second Lady of the Yu Family was particularly enthusiastic, acting as the hostess for the occasion. Though she was exceedingly warm to Ye Zhen, she still maintained a bit of restraint.

While ardently greeting Ye Zhen, she did not neglect the others.

After all, besides Yu Ning and Uncle Liu, there were three of the Yu Family’s Spirit Transformation Realm tributors sitting with Ye Zhen.

Lifting a bowl of the lake fresh soup served by the Second Lady of the Yu Family, and sipping lightly, an expression of enjoyment immediately surfaced on Ye Zhen’s face.

A martial artist journeying across the world, induging in all sorts of delicacies, the earlier dishes of fish and shrimp, though fresh, weren’t particularly distinctive, but this lake fresh soup as soon as it hit the mouth, the aromatic freshness shot straight to the brain, and for a moment, it felt like every pore in his body opened up, and the circulation of his spiritual power seemed to quicken.

This lake fresh soup indeed contained spirit fruit, only something containing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi like spirit fruits could have such an effect.

"Hmm, indeed excellent, another bowl please!"

"Hehe, even I can’t easily taste this lake fresh soup. I also need to drink several bowls," said one of the Spirit Transformation Realm tributors with a chuckle.

In a blink of an eye, each person at the event had consumed several bowls of the soup, even the Second Lady of the Yu Family had drunk a bowl. When Ye Zhen was about to drink his third bowl, he suddenly furrowed his brows.

Because Ye Zhen noticed that after the third bowl of soup went down, the Body Spirit’s Green Jade Spirit Power suddenly stirred, and without being prompted, it began to slowly circulate, then suddenly increased in speed, swiftly circulating.

With the rapid circulation of the Green Jade Spirit Power, impurities scattered towards his five internal organs and six hollow organs were quickly refined.

"Be careful, the soup is poisoned!"

Ye Zhen exclaimed.

At the same time, the bodies of the three tributors of the Yu Family stiffened simultaneously, and a shade of green abruptly rose on their cheeks, "It’s the Ten Fragrance Soft Vein Powder!"

"It’s specifically meant to control martial artists. After taking it, one cannot use any spiritual power for three days."

"Who is the chef here? Who has the antidote?" Uncle Liu roared.

"This poison, there’s no antidote..."

One of the tributors of the Yu Family said with a despondent face. He hadn’t finished speaking when his body went limp, and he collapsed onto the dining table like a noodle, "Besides being unable to use spiritual power, the body will have no strength at all."

Although the Yu Family tributor had collapsed onto the table, he continued speaking.

Almost simultaneously, the other tributors of the Yu Family, Uncle Liu, Yu Ning, and the Second Lady of the Yu Family also successively collapsed onto the dining table.

With the toxins in his body completely refined by the Green Jade Spirit Power, Ye Zhen’s mind stirred, and, going with the flow, he too, feigned collapse onto the dining table.

The effect of the Shattered Jade Scripture, being invulnerable to all evils, was indeed true.

Although Ye Zhen’s Shattered Jade Scripture had not yet been cultivated to Great Accomplishment, and hadn’t reached the state of being impervious to all evils, as soon as the toxins entered his body, they were actively and completely refined by the Green Jade Spirit Power.

This Jade Spirit Power seemed to be extremely sensitive to toxins.

Or rather, being pure in nature, it was extremely sensitive to anything unclean.

"Hahahaha...."

A man’s laughter along with the soft sounds of footsteps came from outside the door. Upon seeing the situation inside, the laughter grew even more triumphant.

"This Ten Fragrance Soft Vein Powder, truly remarkable stuff, worth every bit of the fifty thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals I paid for that tiny bit."

"Uncle, you are so despicable! The chef on this Yu’er Island comes from the line of my father’s wet nurse, how did you bribe him?"

"Bribe, huh, does he deserve it?"

"By threatening to throw his son into a boiling pot of oil, he wouldn’t dare have any second thoughts. If he did, his son would get fried in that pot. Do you think he dared not to listen to me?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s heart tightened; this guy was definitely a ruthless person!

"Uncle, you are so cruel!"

"Haha, being cruel is good. No cruelty, no husband!"

"My dear nephew, your good luck must have run out by now, right? To have escaped from my carefully arranged killing schemes three or four times, do you have any savior this time?"

As he spoke, Yu Ning’s uncle’s gaze abruptly fell on Ye Zhen, "Haha, this person, must be the Hero Zheng who saved you several times and repeatedly spoiled my plans, right?"

As he spoke, Yu Ning’s uncle quickly moved toward Ye Zhen, murmuring as he walked, "Hero Zheng, you found it satisfying to call me a fool, didn’t you? Now, aren’t you still caught in my hands?"
