At the same time, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen had successfully crossed this daunting swamp area and arrived at a new unknown area.

"Teacher Ji... do you think we have passed the level successfully... I feel like we are no longer in the cauldron..." Ye Ying looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, her heart full of doubts and uncertainty. She hoped and longed for Teacher Ji Wuchen, who was not far away from her, to give her an accurate answer.

Ji Wuchen responded weakly: "It seems so...", his voice sounded a little weak, as if he had experienced a huge consumption.

Ye Ying keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Ji Wuchen's voice. She immediately turned around and carefully observed Ji Wuchen's condition.

Ji Wuchen's face was as pale as paper, bloodless, and his originally resolute eyes became dim. His fingers were trembling slightly, and it seemed that he had difficulty even standing.

Ye Ying's heart was filled with worry. She hurriedly stepped forward, supported Ji Wuchen, and asked with concern: "Teacher Ji... Teacher Ji... What happened to you? Were you injured by the man in black just now...?"

"I... I'm fine..." Ji Wuchen endured the discomfort in his body and tried to make his voice sound more determined.

However, his body did not obey and shook more and more violently.

Ye Ying held Ji Wuchen's arms tightly with both hands, and shouted anxiously, "Teacher Ji! Please stop holding on, tell me what happened? We can work together to find a solution!"

At this moment, Ye Ying's eyes revealed full concern and deep worry for Ji Wuchen. She was particularly eager to know what had happened so as to find a suitable way to help Ji Wuchen overcome this difficulty.

Ji Wuchen took a deep breath. He really couldn't bear to blame Ye Ying. He didn't want to let her know that the real reason why he was so weak was because he took the pill whose specific efficacy was unknown.

So, he waited for a moment, and quickly came up with a seemingly reasonable excuse in his mind, and then he slowly opened his mouth and whispered to Ye Ying:

"Just now when I was fighting with that man in black, I had no choice but to use a forbidden secret technique, which ended up wasting too much spiritual energy... Now I feel very tired and a little exhausted..."

Ye Ying was shocked. She knew very well the price to pay for performing forbidden techniques, but she had never expected that Teacher Ji Wuchen would do anything to protect her.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Ji, it's all because of me..." Ye Ying murmured to herself with guilt.

She felt that it must be because she gave the pill to Teacher Ji that led to such serious consequences!

Ji Wuchen shook his head gently, his face as pale as paper, and he forced a smile at the corner of his mouth. He said weakly: "Don't worry, I just need a short rest... Let me first take a look at where this place is..."

The two looked around and found themselves in a house full of ancient style and charm. On the walls were hung strange paintings, and the whole house was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

It seems that they really have made a big move.
