"Uncle Lin!" Lin Qi cried softly.
Uncle Lin was already at death's door, completely unconscious.
He was only still alive because Great Aunt Lin had fed him a life-preserving medicine before leaving, allowing him to cling to life by a thread.
Lin Qi made a swift decision and carried him out of the cave abode.
The poison had seeped into Uncle Lin's heart and lungs. He needed treatment as soon as possible.
The first person Lin Qi thought of was Wenge.
But Golden Yuanzi was currently leading an army of evil cultivators in besieging Tianyi Sect, which had already sealed itself off and activated its grand formation.
Lin Qi had no way of bringing Wenge out anytime soon.
And Uncle Lin likely would not last until then.
Lin Qi could only seek treatment nearby with Uncle Lin in tow, while conveniently putting away the Northern and Southern Heavenly Venerate Mansion.
The Northern and Southern Heavenly Venerate Mansion was now nothing but a den of poison. Until the poisonous fumes within were cleared, no one could live there.
After half a day, she finally found a reclusive poison cultivator on Five Name Mountain.
Lin Qi traded spiritual herbs grown in the Breathing Soil for Uncle Lin's life, then spent quite a few Spirit Stones and some of her old treasures to hire the poison cultivator to cleanse the Northern and Southern Heavenly Venerate Mansion of poison.
But Lin Qi never could have imagined that she had merely taken Uncle Lin away to treat his poisoning.
By the time she returned, the situation on the Southern Continent had changed beyond recognition!
Tianyi Sect's predicament had already been resolved, and the Lin Family's old retainers had also been found and safely settled.
The crises in both places had been resolved within three days.
