306: Chapter 304 The distance to this coordinate is extremely far.

That faint spatial fluctuation was like a lingering thread of gossamer in the wind, flickering in and out of existence at the edge of Su Lin's vast inner world.

Su Lin's mind instantly tensed, and he immediately mobilized the leaf of Space Law on the world tree that emitted a faint starlight, concentrating all his perception on that extremely minute throb.

In this inner world that belonged entirely to him, the flow of time and space became extremely slow, allowing Su Lin to use a perspective of near-stasis to carefully analyze the source of that fluctuation.

Although that fluctuation was weak to the extreme, and could even be crushed at any moment by the incredibly heavy Space Law of the Taihuang Immortal Domain, the violence and heat mixed within it made Su Lin feel incomparably familiar.

Following the trajectory of that fluctuation, he slowly attached his Divine Sense to a crimson leaf on the world tree.

This leaf represented Su Hongling's path as a Mahayana Stage Body Cultivator, and within its veins flowed a pure golden power of Qi and blood.

The instant Su Lin's Divine Sense touched this red leaf, the entire leaf began to tremble violently, and dots of golden fire, almost substantial, even seeped from its edges.

“The distance of these coordinates... is extremely remote.”

Su Lin quickly calculated in his heart.

The spatial structure of the Taihuang Immortal Domain was tens of thousands of times sturdier than that of the Lower Realm. Being able to transmit a sensation across the endless void under such intense pressure indicated that Su Hongling, who had triggered this mark, was currently in a state of extreme spiritual energy eruption, perhaps even fighting for her life.

Although that girl was usually reckless, she possessed the terrifying Physical Body of the Mahayana Stage; ordinary dangers simply couldn't force her into such a bitter struggle that required such intense fluctuations.

The Taihuang Immortal Domain was filled with danger at every step. Even with her powerful physique, she would face great peril if she encountered ancient exotic beasts born of high-dimensional worlds whose bodies far exceeded common logic, or Immortals who wielded the bizarre Laws of the Upper Realm.

Su Lin attempted to further follow this fluctuation to establish a spatial bridge and project his Divine Sense over to see exactly what was happening there.

However, just as he extended the Space Law of his inner world beyond the boundaries of this abandoned courtyard, a terrifying pressure instantly squeezed in from all directions.

The ubiquitous, near-substantial, and heavy Laws of the Taihuang Immortal Domain mercilessly cut off the Divine Sense tendrils he had extended.

Su Lin felt a slight dull pain in his head and had to immediately withdraw the Divine Sense he had sent out to probe.

The spatial barriers here were simply too sturdy, like walls of bronze and iron.

With his newly condensed Half-Immortal Body and an inner world that had not yet fully adapted to the rules here, it was simply impossible for him to forcibly tear through space and perform an ultra-long-distance cross-Realm teleportation.

The consequence of a forced attempt would only trigger a powerful backlash from the Laws of this world. At that time, not only would he be unable to save Su Hongling, but even he and Chu Weiwei by his side would be exposed to the gaze of those high-and-mighty Reapers.

“I can only figure out the geographical location here first before making any further plans.”

Su Lin calculated silently in his heart.

He withdrew his mind from that crimson leaf and took a deep breath, letting the newly sprouted world tree in his inner world return to tranquility.

The leaves, condensed from the Great Dao Laws of his various disciples, were emitting soft and profound halos under the nourishment of the Chaos Immortal Qi.

Su Lin gazed at this world tree of his own, feeling a bit more confident in his heart.

As long as this tree could continue to grow and absorb the energy and Laws of the Taihuang Immortal Domain, there would come a day when he could ignore all the shackles of this world and find all those scattered disciples one by one.

With a shift of his thoughts, Su Lin's consciousness crossed the boundary of his inner world and returned to this Half-Immortal Body sitting cross-legged in the dilapidated courtyard.

Slowly opening his eyes, what met his gaze was a dim and oppressive scene.

This abandoned courtyard, located at the very edge of Liuyun Town, was permeated with the scent of age and decay. The surrounding walls, built from rough, grayish-white rock, were covered in strange vines with dark red, serrated leaves.

These vines swayed slightly in the night wind, their leaves rubbing against each other to produce an extremely faint rustling sound that was exceptionally clear in this deathly silent night.

The poisonous miasma barrier Chu Weiwei had set up around the courtyard was working. That transparent film, almost completely merging with the night, isolated the heavy, grayish-white Immortal Qi that drifted by from time to time, while also perfectly locking the aura of the two living beings within this narrow space.

Occasionally, a few strange-looking flying insects that resembled rusty metal blocks would crash into the barrier; without even a chance to struggle, they would turn into a few drops of dark green juice under the highly toxic corrosion, dripping silently into the soil.

Chu Weiwei was currently sitting obediently on her knees beside Su Lin.

Her amethyst-like eyes flickered with a faint light in the darkness, watching Su Lin's profile without moving. Although her moon-white Medicine Immortal dress had become somewhat damaged in the space-time storm, after a simple repair with her own spiritual power, it still clung to her exquisite figure.

The purple-gold bloodline at their wrists, connected by the Life-and-Death Fate-Binding Gu, was flashing with a rhythmic faint glow in sync with their shared heartbeat. This wondrous connection allowed Su Lin to clearly perceive the emotional fluctuations in Chu Weiwei's heart the moment he opened his eyes.

“Revered Master, you're awake.”

Chu Weiwei's voice was soft and melodious, carrying a hint of attachment that was hard to conceal. She leaned forward slightly, naturally pressing her somewhat cool cheek against Su Lin's shoulder and gently wrapping her hands around his arm.

“Did you sense some change? Weiwei noticed your aura was a bit unstable just now.”

Su Lin did not push her away; he only cast his gaze toward the ink-black sky outside the courtyard.

The sky of the Taihuang Immortal Domain was always shrouded by thick, dark purple clouds, without a single speck of starlight, giving off an extremely oppressive sense of suffocation.

“I sensed Hong Ling's aura.” Su Lin's tone was calm as he briefly recounted what he had perceived in his inner world.

Chu Weiwei obediently rested her chin on Su Lin's shoulder. “Second Senior Sister has such a powerful Physical Body; she will certainly be fine.

She has a straightforward personality. If she encountered trouble, it must have been some blind Upper Realm creatures who provoked her first.

Revered Master, do not be too worried. It won't be too late to look for her once we have figured out the regional distribution nearby.”

Su Lin nodded slightly; he felt the caution in Chu Weiwei's words.

“The Law suppression of this Taihuang Immortal Domain is extremely terrifying.”

Su Lin said in a low voice, his gaze falling back into the dilapidated courtyard. “This Liuyun Town we are in is nothing more than a refugee camp at the lowest level of this vast Immortal Realm.

Those truly famous cultivation cities and great power Immortal Caves outside are likely an unimaginably long distance away from us.”

He raised his right hand, which was connected to Chu Weiwei, looking at the flashing purple-gold bloodline on his wrist.

“With our current Half-Immortal Bodies, wanting to travel long distances on this land of incredible gravity and violent Immortal Qi is no different from a pipe dream.

Our primary task is to completely adapt to the environment here and find ways to obtain resources that can increase our cultivation. At the very least, we must reach the Earth Immortal Realm recognized by this world to have the most basic power for self-preservation and long-distance travel.”

Hearing her Revered Master mention increasing cultivation and adapting to the environment, an extremely focused expression immediately appeared on Chu Weiwei's clear and beautiful face. As a Medicine Immortal, she had the keenest sense for the various medicinal properties and toxicities contained in the surrounding environment.

She straightened up and pulled out several strange plants she had collected earlier at the edge of the Metal Forest from her wide sleeves.

These plants had various forms: some had black branches as hard as pig iron, some had leaves covered in fine dark red barbs, and some emitted a faint ghostly blue light throughout, appearing full of danger.

“Revered Master is absolutely right.” Chu Weiwei carefully placed those plants on the stone slab in front of her. “Although the Immortal Qi in the Taihuang Immortal Domain is abundant, its quality is too heavy, and it is mixed with a large amount of violent, destructive Laws.

Although we previously forced ourselves to absorb a portion through the Dual Cultivation method to forge our Half-Immortal foundation, if we want to continue cultivating, we cannot always rely on that extremely taxing method.”

She extended a fair and slender finger, pointing at one of the dark red shrub branches with serrated leaves, and continued her explanation: “Weiwei took the opportunity while Revered Master was meditating to carefully study these plants growing in the Upper Realm. The reason these seemingly dangerous plants can survive and thrive in such a harsh, high-dimensional environment is precisely because they possess an extremely peculiar filtering mechanism within their bodies.”

“They can inhale the violent and heavy Immortal Qi from the air into their bodies, use their own tough plant Meridians to neutralize the destructive Laws within, and finally condense a relatively mild and easily absorbable essence at the roots or fruits.”

As Chu Weiwei said this, her purple eyes flickered with a fanatical thirst for knowledge, a state unique to her whenever she encountered a completely new field of medicinal theory.

“Weiwei plans to utilize the characteristics of these Upper Realm plants to refine a medicinal liquid that can help us quickly adapt to the gravity and violent Immortal Qi of this world. Although we don't have a suitable Pill Furnace right now, Weiwei's Myriad Poison Dao Body seems to have undergone some wonderful mutations under the baptism of the Upper Realm's Laws.”

As she spoke, without any warning, she opened her mouth and directly placed the shrub branch covered in dark red barbs into it, chewing forcefully.

“Crunch, crunch...”

The iron-hard branch was easily crushed between Chu Weiwei's seemingly delicate teeth, producing a tooth-aching chewing sound.

Watching this scene, Su Lin's brow furrowed slightly, but he did not speak to stop her. He knew Chu Weiwei's attainments in the path of medicine, and he was also aware of this girl's obsessive personality, where she would crazily experiment on her own body to develop new medicines.

As the chewing continued, a layer of eerie dark red quickly rose on Chu Weiwei's originally fair cheeks.

The violent medicinal power belonging to the Upper Realm plant exploded in her mouth and esophagus, attempting to tear her flesh apart.

But Chu Weiwei didn't even knit her brows. She kept her lips tightly closed, her throat moving slightly as she swallowed all the crushed plant residue and juice into her stomach.

Immediately after, she quickly closed her eyes, her hands rapidly forming an extremely complex Medicine Immortal hand seal in front of her chest.

A faint purple-green light emanated from her body; it was her Origin power engaging in a fierce clash with that violent external medicinal power.

Su Lin sat to the side, focusing all his attention on Chu Weiwei's state. He secretly condensed a trace of Chaos Immortal power in his palm; the moment Chu Weiwei showed any signs of being unable to suppress it, he would immediately strike to forcibly suppress the chaotic energy within her body.

Time trickled by, and the abandoned courtyard became so quiet that only the shallow breathing of the two remained.

Half an hour later, the purple-green light on Chu Weiwei's body gradually receded, and the dark red on her face completely faded, restoring her snowy-white, delicate skin.

She slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The moment that turbid air touched the atmosphere, it actually turned into a small cloud of pungent gray powder, fluttering down to the ground and corroding several extremely minute shallow pits into the bluestone slab.

“It's done.”

An extremely sweet smile bloomed on Chu Weiwei's face.

She spread her right palm, and a light green, viscous liquid emitting a fresh herbal fragrance slowly seeped out from her pores, finally converging into a drop the size of a longan in her palm.

“Revered Master, try this.”

Chu Weiwei carefully handed that drop of light green medicinal liquid to Su Lin, her eyes full of expectant light.

“Although this medicinal liquid was refined somewhat crudely, Weiwei used her Dao Body to filter out all those sharp Law fragments.

Taking it should greatly enhance the Physical Body's resistance to this world's gravity in a short time, and it will also allow our Meridians to be free from that tearing pain when absorbing external Immortal Qi.”

Su Lin looked at that drop of medicinal liquid emitting a warm luster, then at Chu Weiwei's slightly tired but still smiling face, and a few complex emotions rose in his heart.

This disciple, although her personality was twisted and obsessive, always finding ways to give him those strange medicines, was indeed the most capable and selfless helper at such a critical moment concerning survival.

Su Lin did not hesitate; he reached out a finger, lightly touched the drop of medicinal liquid, and put it into his mouth.

The medicinal liquid melted instantly. It wasn't bitter as imagined; instead, it carried an extremely crisp, sweet aftertaste.

The medicinal power quickly slid down his throat into his stomach, then, like countless cool streams, instantly diffused to his four limbs and hundred bones.

Su Lin clearly felt that the heavy sensation on his shoulders, like carrying a ten-thousand-catty boulder, actually began to significantly lighten under the nourishment of this cool medicinal power.

He tried moving his wrists and ankles, and the previous obscure, sluggish feeling mostly disappeared; his muscles and bones seemed to be reinjected with amazing vitality.

What surprised him even more was that when he tried to absorb the heavy and violent Immortal Qi in the surrounding air again, the tearing pain in his Meridians was already negligible.

The medicinal power formed an extremely tough protective film on the inner walls of his Meridians, making the previously knife-like Immortal Qi much more docile, and the absorption efficiency increased by at least several times.

“The effect is excellent.”

Sensing the changes in his body, Su Lin did not hesitate to give a very high evaluation. He looked at Chu Weiwei and said in a gentle tone: “The efficacy of this medicinal liquid is enough for us to move freely around Liuyun Town. Thank you for your hard work, Weiwei.”

Receiving her Revered Master's praise, Chu Weiwei immediately smiled so much her eyes curved into two beautiful crescents. She leaned forward, very skillfully hugging Su Lin's arm and rubbing her head against his shoulder.

“As long as it can help Revered Master, Weiwei doesn't find doing these things hard at all.”

She looked up, her purple eyes swirling with extremely bright light. “After dawn, Weiwei will go to the outskirts of the town to collect more different kinds of Immortal Plants. I must definitely concoct the most perfect adaptation potion for Revered Master.”

Su Lin lightly patted her shoulder, which counted as a silent agreement to her proposal.

He turned his gaze to the thick night outside the courtyard, his mind already starting to work rapidly.

“Tomorrow morning, we must go out and scout the way.”

Su Lin's voice was low, carrying a hint of composure from planning. “Although this Liuyun Town is dilapidated, since a large number of Half-Immortals are gathered here, it must have its own unique survival Laws and channels for information flow.

We need to figure out the basic power divisions of this Taihuang Immortal Domain, as well as what level of resources and power those existences known as Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals possess.”
