Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Xia Liu wasn't worried because of the Five Elements Mantra.

Not to mention Dead Energy, even if it was all Evil Qi, he dared to absorb it all.

He had never seen such an overbearing cultivation technique.

Impure nature's spiritual energy, once it entered the meridians, was directly purified into pure Spiritual Energy.

Probably even Shu Mountain's Taiqing Art couldn't compare.

Hearing Xia Liu's words, Liu Mingyue's expression grew serious.

Indeed, she had just absorbed nature's spiritual energy very quickly.

But she hadn't noticed the Dead Energy within it.

At this moment, upon examining her Dantian internally, she indeed discovered a mass of black energy swirling around.

Her own Spiritual Energy couldn't purify it.

However, she wasn't overly worried.

As long as her Dantian wasn't entirely filled with Dead Energy, she could get help to purify it when she got back.

"Miss Liu, let me help you purify the Dead Energy within your body."

Xia Liu thought for a moment and made the offer; it was up to her to agree or not.

"No need, a bit of Dead Energy isn't enough to kill me."

Liu Mingyue replied, refusing.

"Haha, Brother Liu, I need help, quickly purify the Dead Energy in me."

Lu Fang smiled bitterly, Liu Mingyue was truly tough; she knew there was risk with that energy inside her and still didn't want Xia Liu's help.

There's a saying—there's no need to joke around with your own body, no matter how much you dislike the other party, you must ensure your own safety.

Though the Dead Energy wasn't dense, staying here would mean having to absorb it again after consumption, and the more Dead Energy gathers, the scarier the outcome.

Xia Liu merely placed his hand on Lu Fang's Dantian, and the Golden Spirit Energy flowed into him.

In an instant, it purified the Dead Energy.

"My Brother Liu is terrifying, solved it in an instant!"

Feeling the impurities inside him instantly removed, Lu Fang gave a thumbs up, frightening!

Ahead, Liu Mingyue bit her lip; of course, she didn't want the Dead Energy to remain inside her.

But when Xia Liu suddenly asked her, she couldn't immediately agree.

If only he insisted a bit more!

Sigh...

"Alright, let's set off; this time I'll take the lead."

Xia Liu confidently spoke, having memorized everything within a 500-meter radius ahead.

"Hehe, of course, Brother Liu's cultivation is heaven-reaching, surely killing devils and gods alike."

Lu Fang flattered him.

Liu Mingyue said nothing and silently followed behind Xia Liu.

Despite having Xia Liu's strong presence,

she remained very cautious, as if Xia Liu was incapacitated upfront, she needed to ensure her own safety.

As they ventured deeper, the cave's size increased, oddly, the walls were lined with installed fire basins.

Just a spark could light them instantly.

Logically, such a place shouldn't have people, so how could there be lighting equipment?

Moreover, as they went further inward, the air's humidity increased.

The ground underfoot became like the damp, sticky floors of southern rehumidification weather, quite uncomfortable.

"Be careful, something's off ahead."

Xia Liu warned.

Lu Fang and Liu Mingyue both grew alert.

After walking several hundred meters, they both covered their mouths, fearing they might retch in the next second.

There was no other reason—scattered on the ground ahead were numerous bones!

Among them, there were countless skulls.

At a glance, it was obvious they were human bones.

Terrifyingly so.

"These people were ordinary; they died seventy to eighty years ago."

"Oh? What makes you so sure they've been dead seventy to eighty years?"

Liu Mingyue was unconvinced. Xia Liu's certainty irked her; how could he be so sure!

"Look at those guns in the distance, clearly Island Nation weaponry from the war era."

Xia Liu pointed off into the distance as he spoke.

There were many rusty firearms and boxes filled with weaponry there.

It seemed the cave's mystery was solved—it was remade by the people of the Island Nation.

"I've heard of that history; the Warrior Realm was unstable during that time."

"Perhaps; these people didn't realize how frightening this place was."

Xia Liu felt no pity at all—these people deserved it; if the Warrior Realm hadn't been in turmoil back then, the Island Nation wouldn't have been able to invade Huaxia.

"I can't understand how these people navigated the Spirit Formation."

"Maybe it was by chance, or perhaps deliberate."

"Deliberate? What does that mean?"

Liu Mingyue asked, puzzled.

Xia Liu shook his head and offered no explanation.

He was merely speculating that this place might require human flesh and blood like Loulan.

While a high-strength presence could trigger the Spirit Formation.

These were only Xia Liu's guesses; he hadn't spoken them aloud, or Liu Mingyue's mockery would increase.

"Forget it, let's keep moving."

Liu Mingyue asked no further; if he wouldn't explain, she'd just wait to discover something herself to keep him in suspense.

Roar!!!

As Liu Mingyue prepared to step forward, a sudden growl echoed from the cave's depths.

Immediately, a thick wave of Dead Energy followed.

Moreover, an invisible, powerful pressure emerged—it didn't quite feel like that of a cultivator or martial artist.

"Hmm? A Spirit Beast?"

Xia Liu was intrigued; the pressure's magnitude surpassed Foundation Establishment Stage, yet something was missing.

He didn't know what was lacking, but he felt confident about facing it.

Perhaps it lacked Spiritual Energy.

Or maybe it was something else.

"My heavens, a monster must be living in here!"

Lu Fang was instantly terrified.

Especially by the dense Dead Energy and the pressure within the growl.

With his Qi Cultivation Stage 6 cultivation, it was truly hard to remain calm.

"Don't panic, I'm here."

Those four words fully expressed Xia Liu's resolve.

"Hmm, I'm not panicking."

Xia Liu's words seemed to carry magic power, calming Lu Fang greatly.

Liu Mingyue retreated a little, letting Xia Liu lead the way.

She grew nervous...

"I have a feeling this should be the final challenge."

As Xia Liu's words fell, another growl echoed forth.

"Roar!!!"

"You two step back!"

Xia Liu commanded darkly, Spiritual Energy surging around him.

Within his Divine Sense, he saw a terrifying presence.

Liu Mingyue and Lu Fang realized the severity of the situation; without further words, they quickly retreated dozens of meters back.

The two silently watched Xia Liu, wanting to know what he would face.

Soon, the growl resounded again.

This time, however, the source of the growl appeared!

It turned out to be a snake!

Interestingly, the snake was covered in colors, but what stood out was a pair of protruding peculiar things on its head.

They looked a bit like Dragon Horns.

But they hadn't fully grown; what exactly they were, no one could say for sure.

Although the snake was similar to the Five-Colored Strange Snake that appeared on the plains,

its realism was terrifyingly intense.

It was almost certainly a physical entity!

Judging from the aura it emitted, it could at least rival a Qi Cultivation Stage 10 cultivator...
