As Yuan Ming's thoughts were turning, he continued to closely monitor the changes in the Purple Extreme Tai Sui.

Its Divine Soul's growth, after continuing for a while, gradually came to a halt, and the growth of its aura also began to slow down.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming immediately took out another Dragon Tooth Crystal and threw it in.

On the lake above before, he obtained more than twenty Dragon Tooth Crystals and had planned to use them on his spirit pet. Since they were effective for the Purple Extreme Tai Sui, of course, there was nothing to hesitate about.

Fueled by the addition of the Dragon Tooth Crystal, the Purple Extreme Tai Sui's Soul Power continued to increase, and its aura also continued to rise.

Unlike before, this time as the aura of the Purple Extreme Tai Sui strengthened, its fluctuations suddenly intensified several times over.

"It's finally going to break through," Yuan Ming finally let out a sigh of relief.

This Purple Extreme Tai Sui, different from ordinary demon beasts, had no particular talent for Advancement; breaking through was indeed not easy, not at all like Hua Zhi, who could advance by casually devouring a few demon beasts.

"Poison... poison..." The aura of the Purple Extreme Tai Sui suddenly paused and showed a trend of weakening, perhaps because its Divine Soul had been greatly enhanced, transmitting a notion.

Yuan Ming's expression darkened, but he still took out all the extreme poison materials he had on him and threw them to the Purple Extreme Tai Sui.

After a slight hesitation, he took out the bottle of One Rihong. Although it pained him, he still threw it in.

"If you can't break through, don't blame me for chopping you up and selling you for Spirit Stones!" Yuan Ming said viciously.

Perhaps it was Yuan Ming's words that had an effect; after swallowing so many poison materials, the Purple Extreme Tai Sui's fluctuations went wild, and after persisting for a full quarter of an hour, it finally broke through smoothly. Its aura surged greatly, reaching the third-level standard, and inside its body, a purple Round Orb formed, which appeared to be a Demon Core.

The size of the Purple Extreme Tai Sui didn't continue to grow, but it took on a more crystalline appearance than before.

Yuan Ming waved his hand and summoned the Purple Extreme Tai Sui, proceeding to apply the Beast Taming Technique on it.

His Divine Soul Power was strong, and collecting seven or eight spirit beasts was well within his capability. Although the Purple Extreme Tai Sui's talent was mediocre, its ability to refine poisons was still quite unique, and he didn't want to let it go.

Even though the Purple Extreme Tai Sui had broken through to the third level and had its Divine Soul enhanced by the Dragon Tooth Crystal, it was still far too inferior compared to Yuan Ming.

Moreover, the beast seemed very close to Yuan Ming and didn't resist at all, calmly accepting the Beast Taming mark.

Through the Beast Taming Technique, Yuan Ming understood that the Divine Skills of the Purple Extreme Tai Sui were only two, one was Melting poison and the other was Poison Release.

Yuan Ming immediately ordered it to perform the Poison Release Divine Skill.

The lump of flesh on the top of the Purple Extreme Tai Sui moved, as if nodding, then fell silent, without any further action.

"Go on, release the poison," Yuan Ming waited a while and urged.

In response, the Purple Extreme Tai Sui transmitted a somewhat aggrieved notion; it had already released it.

Yuan Ming was taken aback, then his expression dramatically changed. He unleashed all his Divine Sense, covering a range of more than ten feet around him, yet he detected nothing.

His expression became completely serious; his first soul's Divine Sense descended, and his eyes narrowed.

Around the Purple Extreme Tai Sui, many completely transparent droplets had appeared at some point, similar to One Rihong, yet even more concealed.

Yuan Ming considered for a moment, and his heart began to pound.

The Poison Release Divine Skill of the Purple Extreme Tai Sui was too powerful.

His Divine Sense was no less than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and he was even better at controlling the details, yet he had not detected it. Those Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would be even less likely to sense it.

"A fine ability. What is the toxicity of those water droplets?" Yuan Ming asked.

The Purple Extreme Tai Sui gave an answer that was slightly stronger than One Rihong.

Yuan Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart. If it was as the Purple Extreme Tai Sui said, this Poison Release ability, if used correctly, could potentially poison and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Yuan Ming asked a few more questions, completely mastering the abilities of the Purple Extreme Tai Sui, before he collected it.

Having gained another powerful spirit beast, his mood was great, and he began to survey the surrounding black trees.

At this moment, the light in the forest suddenly brightened. Yuan Ming felt the temperature around him, and "whoosh," it rose again by several degrees, even the fire poison lingering in his body became more vigorous.

Yuan Ming's heart chilled, and he looked up through the gaps in the tree leaves at the edge of the forest.

Above the high sky, to his surprise, another fireball had appeared at some point, making it seven Suns.

Yuan Ming stood at the edge of the forest, feeling the scorching heat waves constantly buffeting the woods but being blocked by an invisible force. Only a small amount of heat dissipated into the forest, keeping the temperature inside still not high.

It was just a fine line away, yet it was like two worlds.

Aside from his amazement, Yuan Ming did not continue to stay there, but walked deeper into the dark green forest.

The deeper into the forest he went, the cooler the temperature around him, and the more refreshing it felt.

After walking about a hundred steps, the forest in front of him revealed cottages made of earth, stone, and wood, scattered around an area of about a hundred feet. It looked like an ancient and dilapidated village, exactly the place he had just sensed.

Yuan Ming had been in a hurry to get rid of the fire sore and hadn't had the chance to take a close look. Just as he was about to carefully investigate the situation, a figure suddenly burst out from the forest ahead.

That was a half-naked monster with fiery red skin all over his body, with a pair of curved horns atop his head, and his eyes were round and bulbous, making him look like some kind of half-human, half-demon creature from an alien clan.

Yuan Ming was stunned; when he had used his Divine Sense just now, he hadn't detected any signs of living creatures in the area. Where did this fiery red alien come from?

As soon as he saw the other party, the latter also spotted him.

"Someone's here, we have an intruder," the half-naked monster immediately shouted loudly.

Suddenly, the village was in turmoil, and instantly over a dozen similar-looking monsters rushed out. Some were clad in half pieces of beast skin, while others wore skirts made of Qing Gui leaves and hemp twine, all holding spears and other weapons in their hands, and without a word, they surrounded Yuan Ming.

Seeing this display, Yuan Ming's brows couldn't help but furrow.

His Divine Sense swept over these people and found that their cultivation was all at the Second-Level Demon Beast tier, and many of them had poisonous sores on their bodies, some with just one or two, and others with a dense cluster spreading across their entire chests and arms.

Yuan Ming glanced over and frowned slightly, looking at those individuals with fewer sores.

These people looked at him with hostile expressions, each holding a spear, gradually pressing in on him.

"My friends, I mean no harm; there's no need to be afraid," Yuan Ming quickly extended his hands, trying to communicate with them.

No matter what he said, it was as if they hadn't heard him at all and didn't stop their movements. Instead, they each grabbed their spears, ready to throw them.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming had no choice but to bring out the Purple Star Nine Dragon Spear, readying himself in a defensive posture.

Just as conflict was about to erupt between the two sides, a steady voice that also carried a hint of vicissitude suddenly came from behind the group of monsters.

"Everyone, stop."

Following the sound of the voice, those red-skinned monsters obediently halted their actions and spontaneously parted to create a pathway through the crowd.

An old man, looking nothing like them, with his hands behind his back, walked out from within their midst.

He wasn't half-naked; he wore a coarse cloth cape over his shoulders and a hat woven from hemp on his head; his appearance resembled that of an old farmer who had toiled in the fields for a long time.

The man was not one of the red-skinned, horned monsters and looked no different from an ordinary person.

Yuan Ming examined the newcomer, his eyes showing a trace of solemnity.

His Divine Sense could not detect the man's cultivation, which, to a great extent, meant that the man's strength was far above his own.

Even when facing a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Luu Changfeng, he did not have this kind of completely inscrutable feeling.

"Senior, due to a fortuitous encounter, I have mistakenly entered this Golden Sunflower Immortal Island. I almost perished in the vast Peach Forest before and had to escape to this place out of necessity; I truly have no ill intentions," Yuan Ming said, greeting the man with a cupped fist.

"For you to make it here means you've got some ability, and some luck. Come on in," the old farmer said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

After speaking, he dismissed the other half-naked monsters and invited Yuan Ming into the village.

Yuan Ming followed cautiously and soon entered the village.

He had only scanned briefly with his Divine Sense earlier and hadn't looked closely. Now that he was inside the village, he realized it was even more rundown than it appeared from the outside.

All the houses were round and half-subterranean, with half dug into the ground and the other half covered with earth, stone, and wood materials, appearing both crude and primitive.

Most of the returning red-skinned monsters went back to their dwellings, while a small portion scattered into the forest, seemingly with some purpose.

Yuan Ming followed the old farmer to the center of the village.

There, stood the only structure in the village not built in the half-subterranean style: a fenced wooden building, just as rudimentary and rugged in construction but somewhat sturdier than the other houses.

Yuan Ming entered the squat wooden building at the invitation of the old man.

To his surprise, inside the wooden building were furnishings and tables similar to those found in the Central Plains Region.

After both of them sat down, the old farmer flipped his palm, and a dark-colored earthen teapot and two black pottery tea cups appeared on the table.

After pouring a cup of tea into each cup, he didn't rush to speak but instead took a sip first.

Then, the old farmer showed a slight expression of contentment on his face.

"This tea is brewed from Qing Gui leaves from outside, it has some effect on removing Fire Poison. Seeing that you're not deeply poisoned, it should help you fully rid your body of the residual toxicity," the old farmer said.

"Thank you, senior," Yuan Ming thanked as he held the tea cup with both hands.

However, he didn't rush to drink it but instead asked, "Senior, may I inquire what place this is?"

As he spoke, he had already quietly collected a bit of the tea into his Spiritual Beast Bag.

After the Purple Extreme Tai Sui inside the bag identified it and gave a safe verdict, he then discreetly sipped the tea.

"This is Qing Gui Village, the name comes from the surrounding Qing Gui Forest," the old farmer replied nonchalantly.

The tea brewed from Qing Gui leaves was bitter, but shortly after swallowing, a sweet aftertaste emerged, lingering on the lips and teeth. Once it entered the stomach, it turned into a coolness.

This coolness clashed with the lingering Fire Poison in his body, and the two quickly neutralized each other, vanishing without a trace.
