In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

He fell asleep as he was talking, and the person next to him quickly helped him up and laid him down.

Time passed by quietly.

The imperial family sent out countless messages.

Knowing that the Di family was in crisis, Di Yunque immediately returned from his training grounds.

They specifically hired two poison masters and an alchemist to come in through a secret passage.

They headed straight for the residence of the head of the Di family, where most of the family members were asleep.

Emperor Yunque did not encounter a single person standing along the way.

"Gentlemen, could you please take a look at my father and tell me what's wrong?"

The alchemist shook his head after looking at it; neither of them could figure it out.

An older toxicologist examined the body but couldn't find anything wrong.

The last girl stepped forward to check: "She has been poisoned by Nightmare Flower Dew."

This stuff is contagious, and it's easy to spread; all you need to do is spray a little bit into the air.

If someone gets infected and then comes into contact with others, one person can infect another.

If one falls into a deep sleep without taking the antidote, their soul will also fall into chaos.

After that, even the person's body will disappear.

Although Di Yunque was angry, now was not the time to be angry: "Is there an antidote?"

I hadn't had any hope, but I didn't expect this woman to be so capable.

Poison Master Biluo thought for a moment: "I've only heard of this stuff."

"To get the antidote, I'll probably have to go to Ten Thousand Poisons Island."

Di Yunque no longer trusted anyone else, so he put the head of the Di family into a space that could hold living creatures.

He even collected all the sleeping elders of the Di family.

"Please come with me to Ten Thousand Poisons Island. The reward will be no less than what you'd expect."

They're naturally willing to accept benefits.

"Master, I told you your method was unreliable."

The Chu family has now sealed off their compound, and we have no way to get in.

The Di family also activated not only their clan-protecting formation but also their protective barrier.

They weren't even afraid of burning all the family's immortal stones.

"They were poisoned, and none of those who came out left alive."

We intercepted the distress signal talisman; even if some managed to escape, they would still have to get past us to get here.

If we calculate the time, and there's no antidote in three more months, they'll all be gone.

"What if they have secret passages or something? I heard that someone from the Di family has successfully attained enlightenment."

"If that man comes back, can we win the battle?"

The head of the Lu family already knew: "That person's relationship with the Di family is so-so, he won't go to great lengths for them."

She's destined for ascension, so she probably won't meddle in these matters that aren't her responsibility.

You all need to remember this: don't mention her name.

If she finds out, we're in big trouble.

"We're not idiots, how could we be so brainless?"

On Wan Du Island, Di Yun Que stood at the edge and shouted, "I've come to retrieve the antidote. Fellow Daoists of Wan Du Island, may I have this audience?"

A strangely dressed woman heard the voice and asked, "Who's shouting outside the island?"

“Miss, he is a handsome male cultivator. He must have come to retrieve the antidote.”

She'd seen plenty of handsome male cultivators before: "Go and drive them away. We on Ten Thousand Poisons Island don't save just anyone."

The maidservant obediently went out and saw Emperor Yun Que standing tall and elegant, his face haggard and broken.

She had no sympathy whatsoever: "You can leave now."

"Don't bother our young lady. If you want any poison, go to the designated shops to buy it."

Di Yunque said anxiously, "Fellow Daoist, please inform them."

We need an antidote. My father has been poisoned by Nightmare Flower Dew. Could you please pass this message on?

He took out a poisonous plant: "I obtained this during my training. Please inform the young lady."

The maid was surprised to find such a good thing: "You wait here."

"Miss, who gave me this payment? They asked me to pass on a message that they need the antidote for Nightmare Flower Dew."

Qi Manyun blew on her fingers: "This poison became extinct many years ago."

I can't believe this still exists. What kind of deep-seated hatred must there be?

Go and bring the person in so I can take a look and then we can talk."

When Di Yunque learned that he could enter, he was glad that he hadn't been stingy before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to even get through the gate.

Inside the room was a strangely dressed person, barefoot and without socks, with a string of bells on their ankles.

"Fellow Daoist, are you the lord of Ten Thousand Poisons Island?"

Manyun chuckled: "That's my father, please sit down."

I heard that some of you have been poisoned by Nightmare Flower Dew. This stuff is no ordinary poison, and an antidote is even harder to come by.

"If you can't even afford the payment, you should go home now."

Now that Emperor Yunque had come, he naturally did not want to leave empty-handed.

"As long as it's within my power, please feel free to ask me anything."

Qi Manyun said softly, "The most important ingredient in the antidote pill is the blood and sweat of the person who refined it."

Furthermore, it is refined using Yin and Yang energies—this Yin and Yang energy is an aura generated during the dual cultivation of the two individuals.

Qi Manyun said this because she was looking at the clouds above the sky.

If he's willing to marry her, she wouldn't mind helping him refine the antidote.

Di Yunque's expression changed slightly; this thing was obviously impossible.

Are we just going to watch our father, or even an elder of the clan, die?

"May I have time to discuss this before making a decision?"

Qi Manyun wasn't lying: "Do as you please."

Di Yunque settled into the room next door and looked at the poison master and alchemist: "Is what she said true?"

Biluo nodded: "I've heard that this stuff does indeed require the blood of the person who refines it."

I don't know about the rest.

Di Yunque pondered all night and came to find Qi Manyun early the next morning.

"Fellow Daoist, please help my father and the elders."

"Feel free to make any requests, as long as it's within my power."

Qi Manyun said casually, "My requirements are beyond the reach of most people."

As her maid, she naturally knew her mistress's plans last night.

“My young lady does not yet have a Daoist partner. Fellow Daoist, if you were to marry my young lady…”

"We're family now. Even if I suffer a loss, my young lady will step in."

Di Yunque was taken aback, thinking he was looking for some kind of rare poisonous herb.

Or perhaps it was a lost treasure, which turned out to be this.

Seeing that he didn't react, the maid asked, "What, you don't agree?"

"Then let's go. Many people like my young lady; one more won't make a difference."

Di Yunque thought of his unconscious parents and the elders.

With a determined look, he said, "I agree. I would be grateful if you could help me heal them."

Qi Manyun chuckled: "I will naturally make my move when we become Daoist partners."

Emperor Yunque had no interest in holding such complicated wedding ceremonies with her.

"Can you save my father and the others first?"

The maid glared at her and said, "You're quite the schemer."

Our young lady did all this for you.

"You must collect this herb when you are married and practicing dual cultivation, only then can you refine elixirs."

Di Yunque was very unwilling; he didn't want to be tied to anyone for the rest of his life.

But I can't just watch my father die. It's just about marrying a woman.

"Let's get married tonight. I wonder if you're willing?"

Qi Manyun naturally knew what he was thinking. If he didn't want to, he could just say so and not feel wronged.

"Yes, but you must make a vow to Heaven."

"I presume you've witnessed other people's weddings before?"

Di Yunque naturally knew: "I will not go back on my word."

Qi Manyun waved her hand: "Since you're in such a hurry, we can form a contract first."

"We'll hold the wedding after your father wakes up."
