The Immortal Physician's Transmigration: Miraculous Rejuvenation

After defeating the guardian spirit, Ye Yuanchen and the others took a short break before continuing their exploration deeper into the ruins. Inside, a thin layer of mist obstructed visibility, creating a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.

"Everyone be careful, there may be other unknown dangers in these ruins," Ye Yuanchen warned softly. He held the Spirit Void Holy Sword and carefully cleared a path ahead. The runes on the sword flickered with a faint light, illuminating a small area for them.

Mu Wanyue followed closely behind Ye Yuanchen, her Spirit Whip in hand ready to respond to any unexpected situation. She vigilantly observed her surroundings, not missing a single subtle movement. "This mist is strange; it seems to interfere with our senses."

Lu Zixuan walked in the middle of the group, taking out some spirit crystals from his storage magic item as he went. He arranged them on the ground in specific positions, forming a simple spiritual energy detection array. After the array was activated, it emitted faint spiritual energy fluctuations, resonating with the surrounding environment, attempting to detect traps and dangers hidden in the mist. "Hopefully, this array can detect some dangers in advance. Everyone, watch your step."

Bai Youruo played the Spiritual Sound Flute, its melody echoing through the mist. The sound waves dispersed a small portion of the fog, slightly improving everyone's visibility. At the same time, she used the flute's sensory abilities to observe the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations and reactions.

They proceeded slowly and cautiously when suddenly, the ground ahead collapsed without warning, forming a huge black hole. A putrid stench emanated from the hole, accompanied by faint, low rumbling sounds, as if something terrifying awaited them below.

"Watch out!" Ye Yuanchen shouted. He quickly used the "Spirit Realm Chaos Suppressing God Technique" to inject spiritual power into his feet in an attempt to stabilize himself. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Mu Wanyue to prevent her from falling into the black hole.

Lu Zixuan reacted quickly, manipulating the spiritual energy detection array to convert the spiritual energy within into an upward buoyancy, helping everyone maintain their balance. Bai Youruo's flute playing became more rapid, the sound waves transforming into a force that surrounded everyone, resisting the decaying aura emanating from the black hole.

After much effort, they finally managed to avoid the black hole and continued forward. However, before they could even catch their breath, beams of red light suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, followed by countless sharp stone spikes shooting out from the walls and hurtling towards them.

Ye Yuanchen immediately brandished the Spirit Void Holy Sword, unleashing the "Spirit Realm Bright Holy Healer Demon-Slaying Divine Technique." Golden rays of light surged from the sword, deflecting the incoming stone spikes. Mu Wanyue wielded the Spirit Void Whip, which transformed into a pink light screen in the air, working in conjunction with Ye Yuanchen to defend against the stone spike attack.

Lu Zixuan quickly set up a defensive array around everyone. The runes on the array shone brightly, forming a sturdy shield that blocked the remaining stone spikes. Bai Youruo played her spirit flute, and the flute's sound transformed into sonic blades that cut through the red light on the wall, attempting to stop the stone spikes from being launched further.

With everyone's combined efforts, the stone spike attack finally stopped. But before they could even catch their breath, they heard a buzzing sound coming from afar, growing louder and louder, as if a swarm of giant insects was rapidly approaching.

"What is it?" Mu Wanyue asked nervously, gripping the Spirit Void Whip tightly, a hint of unease in her eyes.

Soon, a swarm of enormous, bee-like shadow insects came into view. These shadow insects were jet black, with red eyes that flashed, and their wings made a piercing buzzing sound when they flapped. They also spewed out black venom from their mouths from time to time, which was extremely poisonous.

Without hesitation, Ye Yuanchen rushed forward, unleashing all his skills in close combat with the Shadow Insects. His Spirit Void Holy Sword flashed with sharp light amidst the swarm, each swing slaying several Shadow Insects. However, the sheer number of Shadow Insects was overwhelming, constantly surging in from all directions, gradually overwhelming Ye Yuanchen.

Seeing this, Mu Wanyue immediately wielded her Spirit Whip, unleashing the immortal technique "Spirit Dance Illusion Whip Void Break." The whip transformed into a pink light, weaving through the swarm of insects and whipping away any Shadow Insects that approached Ye Yuanchen. While fighting, she shouted, "Yuanchen, I'm here to help you!"

Lu Zixuan manipulated the array from the side, concentrating its attack power on the densely packed area of ​​the insect swarm, launching beams of spiritual energy that killed a large number of shadow insects. At the same time, he took out some specially made smoke bombs from his storage artifact and threw them at the swarm. The smoke bombs exploded, releasing a pungent odor that slowed the shadow insects' movements.

Bai Youruo played the Spiritual Sound Flute, and the flute's notes transformed into a powerful soul-shaking force that surged towards the Shadow Insect swarm. Influenced by the flute's notes, the Shadow Insects' attacks became chaotic and disordered; they began attacking each other, plunging the swarm into chaos.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the Shadow Insect swarm was finally repelled. However, they had all exhausted a great deal of spiritual energy, were physically weak, and had suffered some injuries.

"Everyone, take a rest and recover your spiritual energy," Ye Yuanchen said. He took out some pills and distributed them to everyone. He then took one himself and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Mu Wanyue, Lu Zixuan, and Bai Youruo also sat down, took pills, and circulated their spiritual energy to heal their injuries. During the rest, Lu Zixuan suddenly remembered some ancient characters he had seen at the entrance of the ruins. He felt that those characters might be related to the traps and dangers within the ruins, and perhaps they could provide some clues on how to get through.

So he took out paper and pen, and drew the characters from memory, then began to study them carefully. After some thought, he finally discovered some clues. "I think I've found some patterns. These characters seem to be an ancient warning, reminding us to avoid certain areas and symbols in the ruins, otherwise we will trigger danger."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuanchen and the others perked up. "Great! With these clues, our subsequent exploration should go more smoothly."

After resting, they cautiously continued their journey, following the clues discovered by Lu Zixuan. Along the way, they avoided many hidden traps and dangerous areas. Although they encountered some small-scale attacks, they easily overcame them.

As they ventured deeper into the ruins, they finally arrived before a massive hall. The hall's doors were tightly shut, covered with intricate runes and patterns, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

"This should be the core area of ​​the ruins. Everyone, get ready," Ye Yuanchen said. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and prepared to try to open the hall's door.
