The moment Bai Luochu recovered to her peak state, she turned the ruins upside down to look for cultivation manuals. Pei Qingfeng didn"t remain idle at all and other than cultivating, the two of them studied the image of the eight trigrams carved into the walls of the room. The hope of destroying the mechanism trapping them never left their minds but after several tries, they realized that other than natural energy formed from the heavens and earth, nothing else would be able to shatter the restriction.
As such, Bai Luochu proposed an idea to cultivate to the Inaction Realm. Breaking into the Inaction Realm meant that they would be close to becoming a deity. Lightning tribulation would definitely descend, and that would be the best chance to destroy the ruins. In order to ensure that the ruins would be completely destroyed, Bai Luochu felt that their best bet would be breaking through to the Inaction Realm at the same time.
Before they could break through, Bai Luochu knew that there was something more important she had to take care of. She knew that she had to take care of the poison array in Pei Qingfeng"s body.
"Are you ready?" Bai Luochu wasn"t especially confident about this poison array. After all, she had only heard of it before. Now that she was going to make a move, she couldn"t help but feel nervous. In the past, Pei Qingfeng was nothing more than a stranger to her and there was no pressure even if she failed. The Pei Qingfeng before her right now already had a special place in her heart and she was no longer as relaxed as she was.
Pei Qingfeng felt the struggle in Bai Luochu"t heart, and he grabbed her hand before whispering in her ear. "It doesn"t matter, just relax. It doesn"t matter if you fail. It has already been in my body for a long time and you don"t have to worry about me.”
Despite his rea.s.surance, Bai Luochu knew that she couldn"t fail.
Bai Luochu closed her eyes and felt her spirit qi flow through Pei Qingfeng"s meridians. She had already examined it in the past, and now that their cultivations were at the same level, she was able to do as she pleased. She quickly located the poison array and made preparations to use her spirit qi to support the effects of the medicine to remove it from Pei Qingfeng"s body.
"Take this medicine." Bai Luochu felt that the timing was about right and quickly pa.s.sed Pei Qingfeng the antidote she had refined.
The medicinal ingredients she used were found in the ruins and they were superior to the medicinal ingredients found anywhere else in the world. The medicine was the one thing Bai Luochu had the most confidence in.
The poison array seemed to be even more tyrannical than when she examined it two years ago. She merely probed it with her spirit qi and she experienced a huge backlash. A m.u.f.fled groan escaped Pei Qingfeng"s lips.
Bai Luochu"s heart tightened and felt that she shouldn"t probe excessively. It would be better to eliminate the array decisively and swiftly, otherwise, she would just be tormenting Pei Qingfeng. No matter what, she couldn"t make the situation worse.
At almost the same moment, Bai Luochu gathered all her spirit qi before wrapping it around the poison array. It tried to struggle, but Bai Luochu trapped it tightly. As the poison array was stabilized by the medicine Pei Qingfeng consumed, she shattered it at the most opportune moment.
Pei Qingfeng vomited a mouthful of black blood, and unknown shards came out along with it.
Pei Qingfeng wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips and a smile broke out on his face. He raised his hands slowly to rub Bai Luochu"s head. "My Luoluo is truly incredible."
Originally, Pei Qingfeng thought that the poison array was destined to follow him for the rest of his life. He never thought that he would actually be able to find someone who could neutralize it. Despite Bai Luochu saying that it was heaven"s grace that he was cured, he felt that being able to obtain her trust and love was what the heavens truly gave him.
"It is fortunate that I didn"t humiliate myself." When Bai Luochu was treating Pei Qingfeng, she removed all distracting thoughts. When she finally saw that he was cured, she felt a heavy stone lifted off her chest. Moreover, she managed to prove herself as the best physician in the world.
"So what do you plan to do next?"
Now that the greatest hidden danger had been eliminated, it was naturally time to plan for the next step. They had already lived in the ruins for two years, and they couldn"t possibly live out the rest of their days in despair...
Bai Luochu examined Pei Rumo and noticed that apart from the mouthful of black blood that he vomited, there was no other side effect. As such, she quickly formulated her plan.
"Unless we destroy the ruins from the outside, there is no other way to leave. We should cultivate to the Inaction realm and attract lightning tribulation. The moment it appears, we might be able to destroy the ruins. As for the lightning tribulation itself, we"ll get there when we get there.”
Pei Qingfeng nodded in response as he knew that Bai Luochu was right. If they wanted to leave, they would have to borrow external strength. "We only have a few more manuals that we have yet to cultivate."
It was really too boring in the ruins. They had only spent two years there, but they had already cultivated most of the manuals lying around. There were only a few left, and they decided to read everything before trying to break through to the Inaction Realm.
Of course, if anyone else knew what they were thinking of, they would feel that these two had gone completely bonkers. They actually dared to make use of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to break the ruins.
Three days later, a patch of dark cloud rose in the sky above the ruins. The Desolate Region that had regained its serenity flared up again.
"Ying Lan, hurry up and take a look. There seems to be some commotion at the ruins." Ling Xian"er felt that the sky had turned darker and she started to panic. Could it be that the ruins were about to open?!
Ying Lan threw away everything he was doing and he rushed over.
