Qin Siyu's request

Lin Yu's analysis is basically accurate.

Just seconds after he finished speaking, the Formation within the entire Duxuan Sect underwent another Cataclysm.

"Bang!"

The Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, which had been operating normally, paused briefly, and then, after two breaths, it immediately resumed its rapid operation at a rate ten times higher than usual!

Meanwhile, within the Duxuan Sect, Living Foot howls rang out once more.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Although it was unknown what Jian Cunyi had done to this Yaomo, just by listening to its shrill screams, one could tell that this Living Foot was definitely experiencing something terrible.

The small Formation that Lin Yu and Qin Siyu had destroyed and the "exit" that they had blocked earlier came into play.

Lin Yu could clearly sense a massive mass of demonic energy rushing and crashing along the Formation's pathways, rapidly approaching the locations of the sub -Formation he had just destroyed. However, upon getting closer, he discovered that the Formation there had been destroyed, and the spiritual energy was chaotic and violent, so he had no choice but to immediately retreat and turn to another location.

But that other place... had already been destroyed.

After several attempts, Lin Yu could almost feel that the demonic energy, which was mostly within the "Living Foot" body, was even giving rise to some feelings of "despair".

Final...

Under these obvious circumstances, the demonic energy suddenly vanished.

Meanwhile... within the Duxuan Sect, the original "Yin Side" disappeared, and the sect returned to normal.

Qin Siyu asked incredulously, "That's... over?"

"Yeah, what more do you want? You were the one who was worried about why Brother Jian hadn't made a move yet, and now that it's over, you're the one who's doubting that it's not over," Lin Yu teased. "Qin Siyu, it seems that although you've heard of Brother Jian's name, you still don't take him too seriously."

Qin Siyu said awkwardly, "I absolutely did not mean to belittle Daoist Master Xingyi... it's just that all of this happened too fast."

After Qin Siyu finished speaking, before Lin Yu could reply, Jian Cunyi's voice echoed throughout the Duxuan Sect.

"That's right, this matter can't be blamed on Heroine Qin... My final attack was indeed a bit too fast, almost abrupt," Jian Cunyi's voice carried a hint of fatigue, "However... I have accomplished my mission."

Lin Yu asked, "What, Brother Jian, you killed it?"

Before Jian Cunyi could answer, Qin Siyu nodded. "It must be because he killed him— the Curse Technique on my body are disappearing, which must be because 'Living Foot' is already dead!"

As she spoke, Qin Siyu rolled up her sleeves, showing Lin Yu the demonic energy beneath her skin that was slowly shrinking and fading in color.

Lin Yu revealed a joyful expression. "That's great... you're saved too—then I'll remove my 'Desire' as well!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu reached out and placed his hand on Qin Siyu's wrist, slowly withdrawing the "power of Desire" that had been channeled into her body to suppress the curse placed on "Living Foot".

During this process, Jian Cunyi's voice rang out again. "Actually, it wasn't that they were completely killed, but in terms of the result, it was about the same—or even a little better than 'killing' them."

"I erased its consciousness and collected its remains... so that it can be used to refine magical Magical Artifacts and elixirs."

"Although the 'Living Foot' race has been extinct for a long time, and this is likely the last Living Foot - Living Foot, there is not much left about its pill formulas and weapon-making uses."

"However, such Great Demon would be of exceptional quality no matter what, when used to refine elixirs and magical Magical Artifacts —so, studying it wouldn't be a bad thing."

Jian Cunyi spoke, Lin Yu immediately chimed in, "Then I congratulate Brother Jian."

"Not at all... Please wait here a moment. I'll take this opportunity to repair and improve this Formation, eliminating any wear and tear and 'hidden dangers' caused by its long-term operation," Jian Cunyi said loudly. "Afterwards, we'll rest here for the night and then we can set off for Nine Cold Mountain."

Qin Siyu blinked after hearing Jian Cunyi's words. "Daoist Master Xingyi... are you two going to Nine Cold Mountain?"

Jian Cunyi nodded. "Yes—but don't worry, we won't force you. You can come if you're interested."

"But Nine Cold Mountain is extremely dangerous, extremely cold and yin, teeming with demons and Yaomo. The situation is so complex that I dare not say I can fully grasp what's going on inside. So... if you don't want to go, just part ways with us when we leave tomorrow morning."

Jian Cunyi spoke, Qin Siyu quickly shook her head.

"Daoist Master Xingyi, you've misunderstood. What I want to ask is exactly the opposite—I want to ask if I can... continue to follow you?"

"Although I'm a little afraid of disturbing you two Daoist masters, I do indeed have the intention of entering the Nine Cold Mountain."

Jian Cunyi was taken aback, and said, "I have no objection... What about you, Brother Lin?"

"I had a very pleasant experience working with Heroine Qin Siyu just now. She is also a master, so of course I have no objections," Lin Yu said. "But... I'm a little curious, Heroine Qin Siyu, why did you want to take this risk?"

"There probably isn't much money or reward for entering the Nine Cold Mountain, right?"

Lin Yu asked curiously, Qin Siyu shook her head.

"The Nine Cold Mountain are rich in rare and precious medicinal herbs. Even a random encounter with a rare herb or a strange rock could change one's fortune overnight," Qin Siyu paused, then continued, "But this time I'm not after money... I'm here to find rare and precious medicinal herbs!"

"My abilities are limited; if I go alone, I'll most likely return defeated... and might even be unable to escape unscathed, ending up trapped inside forever!"

"Right now, Daoist Master Xingyi is heading to the Nine Cold Mountain, which is the perfect opportunity for me!"

Jian Cunyi's voice rang out. "What kind of medicinal herb are you looking for?"

He was essentially giving a tacit response to Qin Siyu's question, and even subtly expressed his willingness to help her if he could.

After all, Qin Siyu had indeed objectively helped Jian Cunyi just now.

Given Jian Cunyi's personality as a "Feng Shui Master," he naturally wouldn't forget Qin Siyu's contributions.

Therefore, this isn't just empty promises—initially, we will indeed take action.

When Qin Siyu Jian Cunyi, Qin Siyu didn't hide anything and directly replied, "Taiyin Moonlight Grass and Cold Jade Spring Water."

Upon hearing the two "materials" Qin Siyu mentioned, which were Jian Cunyi extraordinary just from their names, Jian Cun said, "These two things are not easy to find... We may not be able to find them on this trip—even if we specifically take you to find them, it may take a lot of time."

"But this time our schedule is tight, and we might be ambushed and outmaneuvered by a master who isn't even mine," Jian Cunyi said, looking at Qin Siyu, "Is it really worth it?"

Qin Siyu answered almost without hesitation, "It's worth it."

Then, somewhat embarrassed, she touched her nose and belatedly added.

"It's alright, risks always go hand in hand with opportunities... and I won't hold you back too much, so please don't worry!"

"For me, this is a great opportunity, but it's not the last chance I'll ever have... so I'm willing to give it a try."

"And even if we didn't get those two materials, being able to help you in some way is still a good thing—after all, you're all good people."

Qin Siyu continued speaking without stopping.

Jian Cunyi nodded and said, "Very good, very good. Don't worry, as long as I find out the whereabouts of these two items or discover any clues, I will definitely make sure you don't miss out!"

"Although I did come here with an urgent mission and made a powerful enemy... I still have time to look for things."

"That's getting off-topic... Anyway, to get back to the point, you want these two things, is it because you have relatives, friends, or close confidants suffering from Fire Poison?"

Upon smelling it, Qin Siyu paused for Jian Cunyi moment, then said, "Good eye, Daoist Master Xingyi. I do indeed have relatives suffering from Fire Poison... But how did you know?"

"The Taiyin Moonlight Grass and the Cold Jade Spring Water... the greatest use of these two things, besides calming the mind and the possibility that long-term contact might Xingyi recovery for the weak and prolong life, is that they have no other effects."

"Unless... you are suffering from Fire Poison and need to suppress or even completely eradicate Fire Poison," Jian Cunyi said calmly, "Then choosing the 'Moon-Cooling Pill' made from these two materials becomes the only option."

Qin Siyu nodded. "That's right... Part of the reason I need money is because I hope to buy the Moon-Cooling Pill, which is priceless."

"Although Moon-Cooling Pill are not available on the market, that's because the materials from Nine Cold Mountain are scarce. The pill formula itself is not particularly rare, nor is it especially difficult to refine."

"Even some of the auxiliary ingredients are quite down-to-earth, making one wonder if it could be made even without them."

"Therefore... if there are two main ingredients sourced from Nine Cold Mountain, it would be much more convenient for the client to refine the ' Moon-Cooling Pill 'Moon-Cooling Pill than to simply buy it directly."

As Qin Siyu spoke, Jian Cunyi moment and said, "Alright, then I will try my best to help you find the materials... If you can't find them, that's okay too. I will also try to see if I can help your relative remove the Fire Poison without the help of the Moon-Cooling Pill."

"Speaking of which, which of your relatives or friends was Fire Poison?"

Jian Cunyi asked, Qin Siyu did not answer for a moment.

However, Lin Yu had a vague idea—based on his brief conversation with Qin Siyu earlier, he had a rough idea of who Qin Siyu's relative had contracted the Fire Poison.

The answer is... not a specific person.

Qin Siyu looked at Lin Yu and Jian Cunyi and said, "It's not a relative or friend... it's my Village."

"Eleven years ago, on a certain day in September, a Great Demon attacked... or rather, passed through the Village."

"From that day on, everyone in the Village was plagued by the Fire Poison and suffered terribly!"

Even newborns are not spared; they are born with this tormenting Fire Poison!
