The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

Qulongjiang, Panlong Sect, Qingshan. Li Changxiao returned to Lingtian Dynasty and successfully visited Si Nian's small wooden house. But seeing that the small wooden house was empty, he felt melancholy and worried. Although the prehistoric world was overturned, the long-term worry was resolved. But recently strange diseases were rampant, and sick people were seen along the way. He wanted to remind Si Nian not to walk around, but he didn't know that Si Nian had left.

So he went straight to Panlong Sect. In the towering green mountain, Li Changxiao went to the old temple of Panlong Sect, lit a stick of incense, bowed, and then went deeper inside.

Came to the Changsheng Cave.

Before Li Changxiao left Changsheng Cave last time, he used his sword to draw the thunder from the sky and wiped out all the diseases in the area. But his cultivation was limited at that time, so he had no idea whether it was really completely wiped out.

The entrance of the cave was blocked by a huge rock by Li Changxiao. The plaque on the top of the cave with the three characters "Changsheng Cave" was split into four or five pieces by Li Changxiao and discarded nearby.

I was afraid that someone would see the plaque and get curious and go into the cave to investigate. This Changsheng Cave is located in a remote place. For hundreds or thousands of years, few people have been here. There is not much difference except that the vegetation is more lush and the weeds are overgrown.

The sword marks on the scattered plaques were still clearly visible. It rained heavily last night, and the ground was very muddy. I stepped on it and heard a rustling sound not far away. It must have startled snakes, insects, rats, or animals. I walked a few more steps and saw a fresh footprint on the ground.

Li Changxiao knew in his heart that this footprint was most likely from Bian Huo. He had indeed come here and was now in the Longevity Cave. The huge rock that had been used to seal the entrance of the cave was gently moved away, leaving a gap just big enough for one person to pass through.

Li Changxiao entered the cave. A foul smell hit his nose, not as pungent as when he first came, but still unpleasant. Li Changxiao lit a candle and walked along the cave. The further he went, the more humid and stuffy it became. Suddenly, he heard a few "chi chi" sounds. A huge rat pounced on him. Li Changxiao flicked the rat and killed it on the spot.

Even if there were no epidemics, this cave was a natural place for filth and dirt. Countless poisonous insects made their nests here. There was a rat's nest every three steps, a snake's nest every four steps, bats hanging upside down, and centipedes crawling around.

And they are all quite big.

Snakes and rats fought each other, centipedes swallowed snakes, and all five poisons were present. Over the past thousand years, many poisonous creatures have grown in the cave. Suddenly, a centipede with silver wings flew towards Li Changxiao at an extremely fast speed.

This creature is very poisonous. It has been eating its own kind and different kinds of food countless times, and gradually its body has changed. It has grown wings and its shell has turned white. Li Changxiao was willing to be bitten by this creature.

Suddenly, I felt a large amount of poison injected into my body. The poison was so strong that ordinary monks could hardly resist it. Monks are not immune to all poisons, nor are they immune to all diseases. When monks are sick, their illnesses are usually more serious, and when monks are poisoned, it is usually more difficult to cure. However... some special physiques can be immune to all poisons, or can resist most toxins.

Zhao Qing's Dao twins are immune to most toxins and can resist most diseases. They can be said to be immune to all poisons. However, if they encounter very special toxins or very special diseases, they are still difficult to be completely immune.

Li Changxiao was truly immune to all poisons and diseases. No matter how strong the poison was or how strange the disease was, it was difficult for it to invade his body. The venom of the silver-winged centipede entered his body and was immediately excreted. Li Changxiao was slightly disappointed, but he really wanted to try the toxicity of this poison.

He slapped it casually. The silver-winged centipede fell to the ground, twisted a few times, and was no longer alive. The surrounding poisonous insects swarmed over and shared the body of the silver-winged centipede. Among them, the red-headed black ants were the most numerous. After they ate the silver-winged centipede's meat, some grew small silver wings, some grew sharp pincers, some grew huge bodies, and some grew fine poisonous hairs.

In this Changsheng Cave, things have been the same for thousands of years. Year after year, day after day, hour after hour. You eat me, I eat you, over and over again, endlessly. Li Changxiao still remembered the Changsheng Cave and knew how to get there. Turning left, he arrived at the entrance of the Evil God Hall. The statue of the Evil God enshrined inside had been smashed. It was covered with poisonous ants. They seemed to be vying to be worshipped.

Not far to go.

Li Changxiao met Bian Huo.

Bian Huo was a white-haired man sitting cross-legged on a mat. He was wearing a loose robe and his hair was disheveled. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and said, "You're here." Li Chang smiled and said, "Do you know I'm looking for you?"

Bian Huo said, "Of course." Li Chang Xiao asked, "How did you know?" Bian Huo said, "Medicine can understand everything. I have my own way to know. You don't have to worry about it." Li Chang Xiao asked, "Then have you investigated the longevity disease?" Bian Huo nodded and said, "I have investigated this disease clearly. Everything is clear. Go and lift the clothes on my back."

Li Changxiao lifted up his robe and saw his bony back covered with eye sores. Bian Huo said, "It's annoying. They've grown again. Please use your sword to scrape them off for me." Li Changxiao said, "Okay." He used the sword to scrape off the eye sores one by one.

Eyeballs with ulcers were scattered on the ground, stained with blood. The poisonous insects around smelled the stench and immediately flew over, competing to devour the ulcers. Li Chang laughed and said, "You took the initiative to get sick in order to solve the symptoms?" Bian Huo said, "Yes, but... I actually got sick a long time ago. It's just that... the closer I get to the source, the more serious the symptoms. I know where the source is, but I can't reach it. Fortunately, you are here."

Li Changxiao asked, "When did you get infected?" Bian Huo said, "Reverend Fengxue came here with an illness. Since then, I have been infected. His illness is 'I am sick', and my illness is 'he is not sick'. He is sick and knows it. I am sick and don't know it. This disease is terrible, really terrible. Since then, this disease has been following me, making me feel uncomfortable. I only thought that you woke me up. I knew that he was indeed sick, but you gave me a direction to find the disease. I also knew that I seemed to be sick too. So I followed him all the way. Since it was to save myself, it was also to make up for the regret."

Bian Huo said, "Come here, I will tell you everything." He waved to Li Changxiao.
