After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

Ye Lan searched for several days but couldn't find any trace of her fellow disciples. However, this time it wasn't as deserted as the secret realm.

And so, he has now encountered a human, but this human is in a bad situation, entangled in spider silk and in a cocoon state.

Just now, Ye Lan sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy here. He thought he could hunt a level two or higher demonic beast here, so he rushed over with Xiao Bai in his arms. Xiao Bai has been quite picky lately, and it won't eat any demonic beasts below level two.

Ye Lan arrived just in time to encounter the Black-faced Spider, which was about to feed. Enraged by the interruption, the Black-faced Spider inexplicably sprayed out spider silk to attack them, wanting to eat the two troublesome creatures together.

Unfortunately, the Black-faced Spider encountered Little White, who was still grieving the loss of her mother. Having not eaten a proper meal for days, Little White was in a very volatile state. Before Ye Lan could even move, Little White breathed a fireball, burning all the spider silk. The fire traveled along the silk and onto the Black-faced Spider, scaring it into fleeing in all directions. Ye Lan shook her head, and without a word, activated the vines to entangle the Black-faced Spider. As it struggled, she pierced its abdomen and back with her sword.

This black-faced spider had only cultivated to the third level, so dealing with it was not a problem for Ye Lan, who was in the Nascent Soul stage. Thus, the black-faced spider, which had not yet had a meal, became their prey.

The black-faced spider's entire body is covered in toxins that can paralyze the prey's spirit. Ye Lan simply abandoned its body and used his sword to dig out the black-faced spider's spirit core for Xiao Bai to absorb. It's not bad that Xiao Bai replenished its spiritual power even though he didn't get to eat any meat.

Ye Lan waited until Xiao Bai finished absorbing the poison before taking action to save the boy. The spider silk also contained toxins, so Ye Lan didn't touch it with his hands. Instead, he used his spiritual power to tear the spider silk apart, revealing the unconscious boy inside.

The boy captured by the black-faced spider was very cute; even with his eyes closed, his handsome face was evident. According to Ye Lan's aesthetic standards from his previous life, this boy belonged to the type he admired, but now he had no improper thoughts.

Ye Lan frowned. He couldn't sense any spiritual power in the boy, which was terrifying in the Cloud Cave. You see, ordinary people without cultivation couldn't enter the Cloud Cave, so it was very strange for a human without spiritual power to appear here.

Ye Lan used vines to move the boy to a clean place. He took out a veil from his spatial storage, put it on to cover his face, and then stood aside holding Little White, stroking its fur while waiting for the boy to wake up.

Having just absorbed the spirit core of a level-three demon beast, Xiao Bai was in a good mood and didn't blame the human for wasting time here. It swished its tail boredly and kept Ye Lan and the others company as they woke up.

Not long after, the boy slowly woke up. He propped himself up and sat up, looking around in confusion. He saw Ye Lan standing to the side, then turned his head and saw the corpse of the black-faced spider. The boy was so frightened that he crawled back a few steps.

Did you save me?

After the boy stopped, he asked, "The person standing here has no face to see, and there is no one else around. The cultivator who can kill the Black-faced Spider alone must have a high level of cultivation."

"It was already dead when I arrived. I just cut your spider silk as a matter of course. I can't say I saved you. Now that you're awake, I won't stay any longer." Ye Lan did not admit that he had killed the Black-faced Spider.

This boy had no spiritual energy, yet he had managed to stay inside the poisonous silk for so long without getting hurt. He didn't seem like a simple person. Ye Lan didn't want to get into trouble, so she turned to leave.

"Hey, young hero, wait a minute. I've lost all my spiritual power. Could you take me with you?" The young man stood up and followed, afraid that Ye Lan would abandon him.

The boy was very outgoing. He followed behind Ye Lan and introduced himself as the young sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He said that he had lost all his cultivation because he was framed by his fellow disciples, and that's why he was entangled by this black-faced spider. Otherwise, with his cultivation, he would definitely have no problem killing the black-faced spider alone.

"Take me with you. If I return safely, my father will reward you handsomely. Otherwise, just tell me what you want now, and I'll give you all the treasures I have."

Ye Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard these words. Putting aside the fact that the Green Mountain Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect were not on good terms, the young sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect was the late-life son of the sect master and was pampered since childhood. He also had a death servant following him. Which fellow disciple would be so foolish as to frame him?

Don't ask Ye Lan why she knows so much about this person, because the young sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect is one of the protagonist's concubines, and one of the few people Ye Lan could remember before she transmigrated!

Of all people to impersonate, this young man had to impersonate the young sect leader. Judging by his usual behavior, the real young sect leader should have already encountered Jiang Ning by now. Besides, who would reveal their identity as the young sect leader when they've lost all their spiritual power? Isn't that practically asking to be murdered for money?

Ye Lan didn't dwell on the boy's lie. She picked up Xiao Bai and flew away on her sword, leaving the boy chasing after her on the ground. When he couldn't catch up, he stopped and stood there looking at Ye Lan. Ye Lan left without even turning her head, and soon she was nowhere to be seen.

"This guy is interesting."

The boy smiled as he watched Ye Lan leave, then turned around and transformed into a figure dressed in black. His appearance was also different from before; he had grown taller and his features were more handsome. This was his true appearance.

The boy teleported back to the location of the Black-faced Spider and absorbed all the toxins from its body into his own.

If Ye Lan were present, she would know why this young man had no spiritual energy. This is a unique technique of the Poison Sect. Poison is their spiritual energy. The more poison they accumulate, the stronger they become. There was a rumor that the Poison King of the Poison Sect once poisoned an entire sect to death by himself, just because the sect leader accidentally offended him.

This cruel sect has extremely high requirements for accepting disciples. To this day, only three people in the entire sect are known to the world. Those three usually keep a secret and no one knows what they really look like, because all the cultivators who have encountered them have died.

"What a pity your spirit core was taken by that beauty."

The boy muttered to himself, then looked at the black-faced spider corpse, which was already shriveled beyond recognition. He pouted unhappily, and black flames burst forth from the spider's body, which burned to ashes in no time.

The boy looked in the direction Ye Lan had left and chased after her.
