After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

After receiving the message, Yu Nian and Ling Cang immediately prepared to set off.

Ye Tang was very interested in the lineage of strange doctors. When he heard that they were going to the Valley of Hundred Poisons, he wanted to go too.

That afternoon, Yu Nian and the other two boarded the Qionghua and flew out of the Hundred Poisons Valley.

Outside the Hundred Poison Valley, like other places in Changbai Mountain, the forest is covered with snow, but those who have been to the Hundred Poison Valley know that this is just an illusion.

Qionghua rushed directly to a mountain wall covered with ancient pines without hesitation, but the imagined bleeding did not happen. The mountain wall directly swallowed Qionghua and the two of them, and then the mountain wall returned to its previous inconspicuous appearance.

The two people and the bird stayed at the foot of the Hundred Poisons Valley. Yu Nian and Ling Cang jumped off Qionghua's back, followed the bluestone path, watched the gurgling water, and slowly walked towards the bamboo building deep in the valley.

"Master Yu Nian, Young Friend Ling, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please come in!"

Feeling that someone had entered the Hundred Poisons Valley, Chang Hun, the current owner of the Hundred Poisons Valley, had already brought his disciple Gu Qing to greet them under the bamboo building.

Yu Nian quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chang, there's no need to be so polite. We are the ones who are bothering you."

After a round of polite greetings, the five people walked directly to the study in the bamboo building.

"My dear Gu, is your brother feeling better?" As they walked, Yu Nian did not forget to ask about Gu Yu's condition.

Gu Qing replied, "He's much better now, but brother is still quite weak and needs to be nursed back to health. He's resting now."

As they were talking, the five of them walked around the long bamboo corridor and arrived at the Bamboo Sea Book House.

With a creak, Chang Hun pushed open the door of the study, and what came into view was a bookshelf filled with bamboo slips, jade slips, and ancient books and classics. A quiet and ancient atmosphere filled the air. There were two doors at the back of the study, and these two doors led to the room where the books collected by the Hundred Poison Valley for tens of thousands of years were stored.

As Ling Cang stepped into the study, a bright white light came out of the small tripod on the table and flew directly towards the back of his hand.

When Ling Cang came to his senses and saw clearly what the bright white light was, his face suddenly turned dark.

A fleshy, ivory-white insect was lying on his fingertips, shaking its round body as it crawled upwards. It soon crawled onto the back of his hand, opened its mouth and took a bite.

However, because Ling Cang had taken the Body Tempering Pill and had the Taixu Illusion Mirror to protect him, no matter how the insect bit him, the back of Ling Cang's hand remained intact like a solid wall.

The little bug, unable to drink blood, was so anxious that it kept shaking its head and squeaking rapidly on the back of Ling Cang's hand.

"Hey, what kind of silkworm is this?" Ye Tang looked at the Ice Jade Silkworm curiously.

Gu Qing, who was standing at the door and witnessed everything, widened her eyes and said, "Master, didn't you say..."

Just before Gu Qing could exclaim, Chang Hun slapped her hard on the spot and said with a smile, "Of course I said that feeding the Ice Jade Silkworm with the blood of Ice Spiritual Root cultivators can enhance the efficacy of the Ice Jade Dew... But, they have to be willing to do so!"

Gu Qing covered her head with her hands, looking depressed and aggrieved. She was very confused as to why Chang Hun spoke like this. He clearly didn't say that before.

However, since the Master did this, there must be a reason for it, so it would be better for him to keep quiet...

"I've only seen the Ice Jade Silkworm in ancient books," Ye Tang exclaimed in amazement. "The books only said that it feeds on ice-attributed spiritual materials, but I didn't expect it to also feed on blood."

Ling Cang looked at the bug expressionlessly, then stretched out his finger and flicked it away.

Chang Hun's whole body suddenly shook, and he flew sideways. Before the Ice Jade Silkworm fell to the ground, he fell heavily to the ground and caught it.

Looking at the intact Ice Jade Silkworm lying in his palm, Chang Hun breathed a sigh of relief, not even caring about the pain in his body.

This little thing is extremely delicate. It can't stand dust or dirt, it can't be bumped or dropped, and it can't stand being hot or cold. It also needs to eat a lot of ice-attribute spiritual plants every day...

He had spent decades raising it until it was the size of a thumb, but today all his efforts were almost in vain.

"Master, are you okay?"

Gu Qing pulled up Chang Hun who was lying on the ground. Chang Hun sat on a bamboo stool and held his waist for a long time before the numbness and pain subsided. Then he put the ice jade silkworm back into the small medicine cauldron and found a jade slip to cover the cauldron to prevent the ice jade silkworm from running out.

"Master Yu Nian, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Pointing at the medicine cauldron that kept squeaking, Chang Hun continued with a smile, "This little thing is delicate and difficult to raise. It likes to drink the blood of cultivators with ice spirit roots. It saw Young Friend Ling and liked the aura of Young Friend Ling, so it behaved like this."

Ling Cang just laughed and said nothing, glancing at the small tripod with disgust. He hated disgusting things like insects the most.

Ling Cang's unfriendly look made Yu Nian feel a little embarrassed.

Then, Yu Nian suddenly had an idea and changed the subject, "Friend Chang, you called us here, did you discover something?"

"Oh, here it is." As he spoke, Chang Hun took out a thick stack of papers with various things written on them and handed them to Yu Nian and the others. "These are the things I discovered recently. Master Yu Nian can take his time to look through them."

Yu Nian took a look at the text on the mural about the story of the Soul-Returning Plan, skipped the relevant translation, and handed it to Ling Cang on the side. Then he looked at the translation of the text on the cold jade coffin and other information found by Chang Hun.

Chang Hun, who had been paying attention to Yu Nian's behavior, frowned slightly when he saw Yu Nian directly skimming over the translation of the Soul-Returning Plan and the story of the Seven Star Lamp mural.

It seems that Yu Nian knows what happened after the Soul Returning Plan, and also knows the origin of the Seven Star Lamp...

"Friend Chang, why is this place empty?" Yu Nian was a little confused and pointed to the blank space after the question on how to use the Seven Star Lamp.

Chang Hun explained with a smile, "There are some ancient words and sentences that I haven't found in the ancient books left by my ancestors yet, so I haven't translated them yet."

So that's how it is. Yu Nian nodded to show that he understood. These texts were too ancient, and it was amazing that Chang Hun could translate them into this way.

After reading all the papers, Yu Nian placed them back on the table. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "Fellow Daoist Chang, are you saying... that someone broke into the Snowy Source before us and stole the Seven Star Lamp?"

"Yes, the Seven Star Lamp has the incredible power of resurrecting the dead and gathering souls. This person must be trying to use the Seven Star Lamp to resurrect someone."

Chang Hun nodded and continued, "This person must be extremely knowledgeable about the Lingbing Clan. He also has the strength to break into the Outer Snow Source and break the Six Dings and Six Jias formation. He must be a high-level cultivator in this area."

Hearing this, Yu Nian remembered what Ling Cang had said before, that those snow monsters were controlled by people with ulterior motives, which was why they went out to commit crimes and harm people.

It seems likely that the person controlling the Yeti is the same person who stole the Seven Star Lamp... But why would that person enter the Outer Snow Source to steal the lamp, and then control the Yeti to escape the secret realm and harm others? Is there any connection between the two?

Thinking of this, Yu Nian felt his mind was full of doubts and his head was about to explode.

Ling Cang, who was sitting beside them, listened to their conversation with an expressionless face, looking down thoughtfully.
